If there was ever an example of Mercury Retrograde in action, at the highest level, one only has to look at what’s become of Donald Trump over the past two weeks, and more importantly during the last seven days. We’ve noted on many occasions that with his Sun/Uranus/TN conjunction in Mercury, that he would be capable of disruption and the unpredictable, but these would happen in equal measure to some degree. That Trump would be involved in a radical exchange of give and take, doling out political alms on both sides of the ideological aisle and for a time, that’s what’s happened. He unplugged from the TTIP, the equivalent of the globalists dog collar. He pulled out from the Paris Accord, which most sane people saw as yet another Ponzi scheme aided and abetted by scientism, that would ultimately become the cornerstone for the New World religion and reallocated some of that money to places like Flint, where poison is available on tap. These were issues that were part of the mandate and then it all started to unravel.
Some people think that when Michael Flynn was asked to resign, that that was the beginning of a silent coup from inside the Trump White House. I think it began before that.
We have to go back to when Milo Yiannapoulis was sacrificed at the alter of “free speech.” Milo was not only a heat-seeking missile for free speech, but he was also an ardent Trump supporter. The disassembling of Trump’s alternative base started then. If he was still in the thrush of provocation, his whiplash wit would be stinging critics and perhaps even Trump himself. Instead, he’s on mute, another casualty of the court of mind crimes and bogus social transgressions. There was clearly a double standard on display as George Takei was essentially saying the same things as Milo and yet, he was rewarded for his flamboyance and general perversity.
But even Milo’s crucifixion pales in comparison to Trump’s 21st Century Schizoid Man act. Everything’s gone in the opposite direction; Non-intervention became massive intervention on three fronts. China went from currency daemon, to best trading buddies all over again. Now he’s back peddling on both the TTIP and the Paris Accord. All during Mercury Retrograde, which started at Taurus 4. In retrograde retrospect, the Sabian Symbol for that degree, which is actually 5 Taurus is not just interesting, it’s revelatory.
PHASE 35 (TAURUS 5°): A WIDOW AT AN OPEN GRAVE
KEYNOTE: The impermanence of all material and social bonds.
“All natural compounds decay,” said the Buddha. The most beautiful and most enjoyed substance loses its potential energy through continuous actualization and the principle of integration and form is withdrawn, leaving the Void — “the open grave” that ends all attachments. The Void is the great challenge: What next? One must begin anew, and if possible at a “higher,” i.e. more inclusive and universal, less egocentric, level.
This fifth conclusive stage of the sequence which deals with root elements and basic actions and responses may seem negative, yet it opens the door to self-renewal. Beyond the personal attachment rises the possibility of participating in a larger sphere of existence. This possibility rarely manifests itself except as one is ready to DISCARD THE PAST.
As I peruse the comments sections on various websites, the Trump supporters are in a state of mourning, feeling duped, betrayed and let down. Venus went from aggressive and direct Aries, retrograde into Pisces and while Venus is exalted in Pisces, and in it’s detriment in Aries, the retrograde motion has led people into a swamp of emotion, ungrounded and even drowning in their relationship to surety, the cardinal ordinances of relating all based on the application of will. It returns to Aries on the 29th. Now that President Kushner and the First Lady, Ivanka are running the show, how will people feel in general as Venus returns, to Aries, remerging from the quagmire of the swamp, the inevitable Piscean let down? Will we experience anger from the Alt-Right, betrayed and dismayed? Or will Trump play the military strongman, clanging around, spouting off the macho cue cards drafted by his generals and Neocon enablers, making America great again for people still mired in the fog of deception, looking for some great moral victory against the demonized strongmen, holding out against the central bank cartel aka the Rothschild global network?
May is a tricky month, a test, quite possibly of epic proportions as transiting Mars in Gemini begins to not only move towards Trump’s troika of Gemini planets (Sun/Uranus/True Node) it also marks the Mars return of McMaster, whose Mars in Gemini is conjunct Trump’s natal Uranus. The key dates are the 11th through the 29th as Mars passes over Trump’s Gemini planets. This phase is, how shall we say, highly combustible.
The Left is quiet, the Purple Revolution is on hold, thanks to President Kushner in shaping Donald into a made man and the American Spring is on hold. No matter whether it’s out there, in terms of a global conflagration or right here, with civil strife and disobedience fueled Soros credits, the people are held in psychic bondage, hostage to ideologies, doubling down lest they have to confront the schism of their beliefs and the attendant shame that can come along with it. With all of this Pisces swirling around us, Neptune, Chiron, Venus direct, I think it’s okay and important that we forgive ourselves for votes cast, choices made, hopes pinned upon the stars because that’s the only way out and through this time, which in and of itself will be more chaotic and confusing than any other point in recorded history.
Back when I was last on Regina Meredith’s Open Minds show and we talked about this Spring, I spoke about the need to tap into new emotional presets and that goes for everyone, left, right and in the middle.
It’s time to get up-to-speed and right in the present. Eradicating the mind traps of guilt and shame is the first order of business. The values of sovereignty, free speech, free minds and free hearts are still and always be the core of the human experience, and for eighteen months, we were given an imperfect cipher and a flawed prophet as the Vox Populi, and that’s just fine, because just as the Alt-Right referred to Trump as “Daddy” we need to move beyond the psychological tape loops of disappointment as rapidly as possible and herein lies a tremendous gift if we can view it in that light.

Well, finally. (re: Trump and Mercury Rx) http://www.renegadetribune.com/american-revolution-2-0-time-come/ “I think it’s okay and important that we forgive ourselves for votes cast, choices made, hopes pinned upon the stars because that’s the only way out and through this time, which in and of itself will be more chaotic and confusing than any other point in recorded history.” You might forgive you, and Jesus might forgive you, but I won’t, and neither will history or your son. No one in the future will forgive Americans for having every possible tool at their disposal to put an end to the massive organized crime that is their federal government, WHILE FAILING TO DO IT. If there were 1,346 million Web pages indexed by Google as of March 2001, how many were indexed by September 11, 2001? What is anyone’s excuse for remaining in the dark as of RIGHT NOW about what needs to be done? The only way out and through this time, is the same as the first time: “They tell us, sir, that we are weak; unable to cope with so formidable an adversary. But when shall we be stronger? Will it be the next week, or the next year? Will it be when we are totally disarmed, and when a British guard shall be stationed in every house? Shall we gather strength by irresolution and inaction? Shall we acquire the means of effectual resistance, by lying supinely on our backs, and hugging the delusive phantom of hope, until our enemies shall have bound us hand and foot? Sir, we are not weak if we make a proper use of those means which the God of nature hath placed in our power. Three millions of people, armed in the holy cause of liberty, and in such a country as that which we possess, are invincible by any force which our enemy can send against us. Besides, sir, we shall not fight our battles alone. There is a just God who presides over the destinies of nations; and who will raise up friends to fight our battles for us. The battle, sir, is not to the strong alone; it is to the vigilant, the active, the brave. Besides, sir, we have no election. If we were base enough to desire it, it is now too late to retire from the contest. There is no retreat but in submission and slavery! Our chains are forged! Their clanking may be heard on the plains of Boston! The war is inevitable and let it come! I repeat it, sir, let it come.” —Patrick Henry, March 23, 1775 https://www.history.org/almanack/life/politics/giveme.cfm
Putting the weight of the future on me, you and our contemporaries while expedient as it might be at the so called 11th hour, there have been other moments in history that are equally weighted in terms of importance and quite frankly, the odds were much better at social overhaul and change.
Americans were much more savvy in some ways back in 1917 before we went into WWI and were fed the Fed, taxation, etc. and even when they had more support by their representatives, the trap was set and sprung.
The most recent was the Clinton era is where we needed to do something more than just feast off of tech stocks and there was certainly some action in the air, but it was also very clear that the Clinton administration wasn’t going to give any quarter as they killed Randy Weaver’s kids, ginned up OKC, had the first WTC bombing with Ramzi Yousef, the Olympic bombing, Waco, etc.. By the time we got to the end of Clinton, 9/11 was on the event horizon.
There was virtually a mindlock during the Obama era as the left had their cherry trauma, then an invisible wall of identity politics served as a psychic buffer, especially when BLM and race polarization kicked in.
So here we are.
I think it’s actually much easier than a hand-to-hand struggle (though it might come down to it). All we have to do is eliminate dual citizens serving in congress and the senate. Of course it will raise the ire of special interests whose main goal is to continue to feed off the host and keep it in a feeble, yet still pulsing state.
That’s where to strike the root.
And let’s be clear, Trump has sparked an awakening and it doesn’t have to do with him as the president. Jon Rappaport has recently written a piece on the dichotomy we’re facing and comes to some of the same conclusions I have, albeit without the aid of astrology.
Here’s Jon’s piece.

Wow/ Ben-boy
Your last comment was harsh
Crossed the line when you cast and spewed hatred for someone and their son and throw Jesus into the soup. We are all feeling people
But hatred/damning and dismisiveness is the most base of human emotions
I applaud you Robert for posting this persons comment; despite the I’ll will he pedals towards you.
I get what you have been saying all along and I appreciate your efforts and your truth.
The election
And it’s inherent emotions run deep on all sides
And for all we did personally the best we could do.
God gets our situation and our struggles to find our way towards truth.
It’s never an easy or clear path
But I wish you personally and your son the very best
Thank you for doing your work
And sharing it (unpaid!) for us all to discern, register, feel and process.
You are brave enough to tackle subjects with kindness and piercing thought inlaid details that many gloss over in a tantrum of emotion.
I appreciate your discipline
May God be with you and your lovely son
Blessed be.
Thank you very much Sophia. I truly appreciate it.
Ben’s comment just proves the point of your post…ha! He does not allow room for the void thus its all ones and zero’s – black and white – lacking a depth of color nor comprehending the whole she-bangs experience :)~
Hello Mr.Phoenix! I love your astrological insights. Can you please if you can, talk about Marine Le Pen and her impact and possible winning France’s presidency? I will truly appreciate that. Thank you!
“This old world may never change the way it’s been, and all the ways of war won’t change it back again .I only know peace will come when all hate is gone” Fred Neil…….. ‘Dolphins’
All I need to do is assess how reading a person’s comments leaves me feeling, and I’ll be clear about what to “do” with it. Ben’s was easy because all that spewed from it was fear and hate, both totally unproductive in the life in which I choose to participate.
Thank you, Robert, for another excellent writing inclusive of the astrology, which always adds depth to your examination of your subject. I totally agree with forgiving ourselves as an important step in moving forward.

Ok…back to basics.
I always ask the Gemini’s in my life, “Who am I dealing with? The good Gemini or the bad Gemini?” To which they always answer with their dualistic smile.
While your charming/devilish Gemini may confuse the shit out of you, they themselves are never phased by their seemingly string theory path. This is what happens when person can exist in the minimum of 2 realities simultaneously. They pity us for being so limited.
Become the Boy Scout you know that you need to be, “Always be prepared”.
Very soon Uranus moves into the 2nd house, so start thinking about what happened the last time and “be prepared” for a real screwing.
In the mean time Neptune will provide us with all of the theatre that we can handle, good and bad, it’s all one.
I believe Goddess will not allow another Atlantis. I think the story in the bible about the rainbow is an allusion to this.
Through the fog of chemicals & hypnosis, we are remembering that we’ve been here before; we want a different outcome this time, we want to save our planet and feel real love.
