🧾 Astrological Receipts: Two Weeks of Regime Gaslighting and Public Blowback
I took a couple weeks off from State of the Universe to focus on other projects and research, but I'm back! Meanwhile, the Trump Regime set new records in gaslighting, censorship, collapse, and cosmic defiance. So we’re doing what the pundits won’t—catching up on two weeks of executive lies, public revolt, and celestial consequences.
If you thought the news was wild, wait ‘til you see what the planets were doing while the Regime was scrambling to save face. This edition covers the last two weeks of universal chaos, astropolitical analysis, and a wannabe authoritarian regime rotting away while claiming it's not past its expiration date.
What You're Missed:
Executive disinformation and censorship under Mercury in Aries
Trump’s gaslighting diplomacy and Pluto-fueled control grabs
Nationwide protests predicted by Mars-Pluto pressure and Venus-Saturn moral reckoning
Labor blowback and legal exposure mirroring astrological enforcement cycles
Every event grounded in the transits—this is political astrology, not psychic theater
You’re not just reading about the week’s mess. You’re reading the astrology that called it in advance.

🧠 Executive Disinfo: If You Can’t Handle the Truth, Defund the Truth Department
“Mercury enters Aries on Tuesday, blowing in like a gust of dry heat. The fog of Pisces lifts, and what’s left is a mouth with something to prove.” — April 13–19 Forecast
🗓 April 16–23, 2025
AP: Trump ends State Dept disinfo office | Reuters: Disinfo board shutdown
While you were busy paying your taxes, the Trump Regime was quietly declaring war on the concept of verifiable information. The State Department’s anti-disinformation office? Axed. Why? Because nothing says "we’re totally not lying" like silencing the people who track lies for a living.
Days later, the executive order dropped like a dead bird in a clean pool: agencies now have marching orders to “promote diverse opinions”—a phrase that’s doing the heavy lifting of a thousand press secretaries trying not to say "propaganda."
This isn’t transparency. It’s sleight of hand wrapped in a press conference. Ever heard of the paradox of tolerance?
“Laws get enforced. Values meet policy.”
— April 20–26 Forecast
🔮 Astrological Insight: Mercury in Aries doesn’t leave much to the imagination, but it does shout half-baked truths over a burning bridge. Sun square Pluto exposes the paper trail. If you were waiting for a cosmic fact-checker, congratulations. It’s here.
✅ Prediction Check: The astrology forecast warned of sabotage, censorship, and institutions pretending they’re still credible. The Regime said, “Challenge accepted.”

🔥 Comfort vs. Conscience: Trump Tries to Outsource Ukraine
“This is a confrontation between visible leadership and shadow control. Backroom decisions become public failures.” — April 20–26 Forecast
🗓 April 22–23, 2025
📎 AP: Trump Pressures Zelenskyy to Cede Crimea
This was the week the Trump Regime tried to soft-launch appeasement as diplomacy. In a move so cowardly it practically left a slime trail, Trump pressured Zelenskyy to give up Crimea—because apparently, being a warlord apologist is more on-brand than defending sovereignty.
The ask? Capitulation disguised as peace. The reality? A tantrum from a man allergic to accountability. Trump wants to fast-track legacy points without dealing with the consequences of failed empire cosplay. Meanwhile, Venus in Pisces wants peace, but Saturn in Pisces demands facts—and Zelenskyy showed up with both.
He responded with the force of a nation that’s done playing polite: “There is nothing to talk about. It is our land.” Translation: shove your fake neutrality where your ethics live.
🔮 Astrological Insight: Sun square Pluto doesn’t do nuance. It drags power into the light whether it’s ready or not. Venus-Saturn insists that justice isn’t optional—it’s structural. You either stand for something, or you stand exposed.
✅ Prediction Check: “Leaders will face their own cowardice in the mirror of righteous resistance.” Consider the mirror cracked—and the coward screaming at his reflection.
🗣 “You’re not watching chaos—you’re watching consequences. Astrology didn’t cause it. But it damn well called it.”

🚨 Hands Off! Protests Show Who’s Actually in Charge
“Leadership falters, institutions get loud, and collective pressure finds its outlet.” — April 20–26 Forecast
🗓 April 5 & 19, 2025
📎 Guardian: April 19 Protest Report
📎 AP: April 19 Protest Summary
Here’s what happens when the people remember they outnumber the oligarchs. “Hands Off” wasn’t just a slogan—it was a warning. And the Regime heard it loud and clear.
Across all 50 states, protestors flooded the streets with signs in one hand and the First Amendment in the other. This wasn’t a flash in the pan—it was a strategic eruption. From immigration bans to union busting, Americans hit the pavement with receipts, rage, and an ancestral memory of rebellion.
The Trump Regime, which thrives on shrugs and redirection, got a wake-up call wrapped in cardboard, chants, and people touching grass. You can only pretend the people don’t matter until they show up outside your office and dare you to prove it.
🔮 Astrological Insight: Mars opposite Pluto doesn’t play defense—it plays demolition. This is what happens when cosmic pressure hits critical mass: the crowd becomes the conscience.
✅ Prediction Check: “The People’s Will dominates the King.” And in this case, the Will came wearing comfortable shoes and carrying a megaphone.
⚖️ Justice With Consequences: Whistleblowers, Judges, and One Angry IRS Shakeup
“Fantasy meets fallout. Values meet enforcement.”
— April 20–26 Forecast
🗓 April 20–24, 2025
📎 AP: IRS whistleblower Gary Shapley removed | Reuters: DOGE surveillance program leaks
The Regime’s grip on power is loosening—not just because people are angry, but because the institutions have finally had it.
Let’s talk IRS. The Trump Regime dragged Hunter Biden whistleblower Gary Shapley—an IRS supervisory special agent known for his work on political interference—back into the spotlight, paraded him around like a proof-of-integrity mascot, and then booted him the second he did his job.
But the real gut punch came from DOGE. Internal leaks revealed that Musk’s “efficiency project” had turned into a surveillance state-lite, monitoring union organizers like it was Watergate with different branding. Judges stepped in. Legal backlash hit. And suddenly, the regime’s assets were liabilities.
🔮 Astrological Insight: Venus conjunct Saturn doesn’t tap you on the shoulder—it dropkicks your moral bankruptcy straight into public record. If your power structure was built on secrecy, Pisces comes in with a wrecking ball. Saturn notarizes the ruins.
✅ Prediction Check: “Social contracts are restored in mythical structures and damp diseases.” The system just hacked up a lung—and Karma Court ruled it justice.
🛑 Final Thoughts: This Isn’t Just the Power Clash—It’s the Beginning of the End for This Regime
At the beginning of Trump's second term, his press secretary, Karoline Leavitt, announced that the White House would grant press credentials to independent bloggers and podcasters. I've been considering applying for credentials just to see how she'd handle the question, "How does the President respond to the fact that Neptune's transit suggests he's lying?"
We're watching established patterns play out again in real time. Some of us are choosing to engage with them to stop history from repeating itself. Others want to say astrology isn't real, but it's the only framework that can blatantly reveal the mechanics of government secrecy.
Sun square Pluto: Rulership is exposed and flailing. Power’s on trial.
Venus conjunct Saturn: Values get audited. Karma calls it due.
Mars approaching Pluto: Protesters vs propaganda. Warriors vs warmongers.
Mercury in Aries: Noise meets receipts. Gaslighting meets GPS.
The question isn’t “Is it bad?” It’s “How much longer do you let them lie to your face like you're an idiot?”
