Things to know before you try and interpret Return Charts

There is a lot of different methods to astrological interpretation. So many people just accept everything they read without doing any real testing on their own to determine what really works. Unfortunately, that takes time and experience to figure out. If you don't want to do that, then you just have to rely on the knowledge of others.

I'm going to list a few important thoughts about return charts.

The biggest bull i hear all the time is that "well. if you don't like that chart just go someplace new in the world at the time of the return and it will all magically change". That sounds a bit arrogant to me. Space bodies have cycles that can't be changed with different location or wishful thinking. A return chart has to be read in the context of how it aligns with the person's birth chart. If you are trying to create an electional chart, to bring something into creation, then sure using time & location, relying on the horizon does work, just not in the context of a return for something that is already in existence. The alignments from one space body to another is what's most important in the return chart. Those aspect don't change by moving away.

House Systems 

House systems can't be trusted. Although, Whole sign tends to be most accurate in showing what area of life the energy is in. Remember, there is no house cusps in the sky, so using them is using your imagination which will vary from person to person depending on what house system is being used. There is so many different house systems, and they will totally change the interpretation of a chart, so how could you feel good about just "picking one" and trusting it to tell you what's really happening? Your accuracy will suffer if you don't have a good grip on this fact. Again, there is no house cusps in the sky.

However, If you do rely on those fake cusps, how close is the planet to the cusp, regardless of what side of the line it's on? If the planet is say at 12 deg in 9th house, yet the 10th H cusp is at 13 degrees same sign, that should be interpreted as conjunct 10th H cusp. Actually, any energy point within 10 deg on either side of a cusp should be interpreted as conj that cusp. House systems mess up peoples accuracy.

 Another thing to consider is that using only one house system for all people and all charts is foolish. Some systems might tell an accurate story about one chart, or even one planet in the chart while another system will be more accurate for a different planet in the same chart, etc. You are going to have to investigate the person deeper, fully understanding where their energy belongs in their own natal chart before even attempting to accurately determine what house is being activated in Return.

Remember, houses are only showing what energy is attached to each of the 12 areas of life. Nothing more. For this reason, i trust the Whole Sign house system more than any other to tell me what area of life a planet is in. A lot of astrologers with the most experience use Whole Sign as well, including Robert Hand. I'm not just making this stuff up.

Also, i don't even relocate progressed charts, although i use to, i find it a mistake now. Always trust the birth location, it's the most accurate. I don't even relocate the Return charts anymore. I might look at them relocated just to get an idea but i base everything on the person's birth location. This was suggested to me by Dawn Bodrogi (a very experienced astrologer ). I have found this to work very well.

 Some people have only seen their birth chart with one house system that came with it. Those folks are really missing out on deeper truths. There is no house cusps in the sky and in the beginning no astrologer ever used them. Whatever sign was Rising started the 1st house. Simple as that.

 If I want to factor in the horizon i also look at Equal Houses, relying on the degree of the Ascendant at time of birth to determine degree of each cusp. Equal houses seems to be second best to Whole Sign.

Natal chart, Progressed chart, transits.

With that said about houses, the next thing to really understand is the person's natal chart, progressed chart and transits before the SR chart. Those don't change by moving away. For example: I have transit Saturn Rising on my Ascendant this next year (30 year cycle). Saturn also showed up in the 1st house in one version of my SR. Someone asked me "do you want that?" Do i want it? umm, sure. There is no choice. No matter where i go, transit Saturn will be in my natal 1st house for a year. Even if i could change that fact, why would i want to? This only happens for a year every 30 years and marks a huge turning point and maturing phase for me on many levels. Why would i want to miss that boat? Yea, let's try and out run Saturn, sounds wise. Not really. Yes, this will be a tough year but anything that involves Saturn, you don't want to hide from, trust me. It will come back to bite you one day, most likely on Saturn Return. Face the energies in transit you are meant to experience regardless if it's tough or not. Not that you have a choice, i'm just sayin.

Placing the return chart inside the natal chart shows what aspects will be in place for that cycle, no matter where on earth you are - your natal chart always rules over everything else.

This shows the transits to the natal chart at time of solar return. Very important! 

After all those considerations above, then you can look at the return chart by itself, but don't take the houses too seriously! It's only giving you a rough idea. For example, the return chart below shows the house line up based on my birth location. This will make my SR chart 0 degrees Sagittarius Rising. And yet, if I relocate the chart to just an hour away, it would be Scorpio Rising, creating entirely different interpretation. Which one to believe?? Always trust your natal location! This will be the most accurate chart as for the areas of life being activated (houses).

Don't relocate your return chart and think you have control over what energies the universe sends you in that cycle.

Try and avoid basing your entire reading on the house information. Look at the aspects, rulers, etc. That info will have solid truths in it. Where is this person at in life based on their transits and progressions? Don't try and know what this person will get in return if you don't know who they are astrologically at birth and by progression. It's foolish and bad astrology. The aspects never lie, they can always be trusted, houses and time of birth cannot be trusted. People don't always really know their exact time of birth, but aspects usually will be correct just knowing the day. 

So by itself, a return chart won't tell you much besides how the planets are connecting to each other. Go deeper, do better work. Don't think you have control over the universe. 

Anyway, just some thoughts if you are trying to figure out how to read a return. It all depends on what type of return. Solar return can be a mini birth chart for the year, but only if you factor in everything i said above. Other returns are not read like a natal chart. Don't base anything off the Ascendant unless it's from birth location. The Ascendant is so important, but only if it's an accurate one.

Test out and experiment for yourself, over a long period of time before you decide on techniques.

I hope it was helpful.

Cheers.

Leo new moon Aug 2 2016 - Organize & structure a new beginning to increase joy

Leo new moon Aug 2 2016 1:44 pm PDT 10 degrees 57 mins of Leo (11 deg).

Folks, i have some good news for you - Leo new moon time on Tuesday, and it looks very positive. As usual this is a time to set intentions and use the waxing energy of nature to your advantage. It's much easier to create with the assistance of the divine. Plus it's Leo, the sign of creativity! It's time to create more joy for your life!

Just remember, things are not always instant, so give it up to six months to manifest your intentions. 

There is only a couple main themes with this new moon so i'm going to keep this brief and focused.

 The biggest news is Mars just reentered Sagittarius which brings a huge change of energy from the deep emotional intensity we've been feeling to an upliftment and focusing energy into the bigger picture of our life. This just adds to all the fire energy now with 6 planets in the passionate fire element. This will create a lot of enthusiasm next week with a break-thru feeling, excitement, joy & passion. Mars in Sag will add a desire for more adventure, fun & travel, tho will also make it easier to fight for what you believe in. There will be some changes to your activity of late, with new action forward.

The Leo new moon makes two main aspects - an awesome trine to Saturn in Sag and a not so awesome quincunx to Neptune in Pisces activating the long held Saturn square Neptune aspect that's been in the sky for a while.

Having this positive alignment to Saturn is a very good thing. It means we'll have the support of the authority in our life (both within and without) to create what we need in order to gain more joy in our life. This aspect also makes it easier to be mature and logical, so will keep the Leo energy from going over the top dramatic & flamboyant. Saturn aspect suggest an easy way to ground, structure and build upon what's wanting to be created for the long term, including more joy.

On the other hand, the annoying hard aspect to Neptune indicates not all is as it seems, so will require people to make some adjustments to intentions and plans along the way. The fixed sign of Leo that has lots of pride will need to be more flexible and adaptable, not letting that ego or pride stop you from taking the best route. Ego is not a bad thing if kept in healthy proportions. Ego comes with Fire energy, and is necessary to be a leader so not to let the thoughts & opinions of others stop you from what's necessary to get to where you want to go. Pride however, probably is not very useful now.

The old foundation and structures of your life are collapsing which can give a sense of danger and fear. Try not to self-sabotage your creative possibilities based on these fears of the unknown, or the fears from other people in your life. Be ready to make adjustments when needed for best results. It's all about this Saturn square Neptune aspect that's been in place for a while. Beliefs, opinions, faith, sensitivity, uncertainty, dogmatic projections, boundaries vs no boundaries, etc. You can't create nothing if you don't believe it's possible.

Over-all, this is a very joyful creative enthusiastic time coming up that will feel much different than the past weeks. You might feel you are past some kind of struggle. However, i must caution you - not all is as it seems! Mars will be building more and more momentum forward but eventually will run into Saturn square Neptune! Traditionally Saturn and Mars don't work well together. There is a big roadblock up ahead that will get more and more obvious as the days go on, until Mars finally reaches Saturn around Aug 24 which brings a big energy shift as the sun recently went into Virgo as well.

Mars faces the judge Saturn - meaning your actions the next few weeks will be judged both by your inner authority and the people in your outer life. This creative new moon that seems so supportive now will have to go thru a check point later that might surprise you, where you get an idea of your fears, restrictions, obligations, limitations, etc. Mars is the action & passion, and won't be able to pass this point with ease unless you do all the responsible shit you need to do in the next few weeks in order to truly create your new intentions.

If you take the easy way out, it will stop you later. Being mature, doing the hard work necessary without cutting corners the next few weeks will keep this Mars Saturn conjunction less restrictive, which will allow you to continue on with your plans. Even if you take this responsible route however, and build a solid foundation for your intentions you will still most likely face some kind of unforeseen obstacles later this month, that will slow you down and feel restrictive. Be ready for it.

This aspect around Aug 24 and beyond will activate some new energy that could cause more problems on the world stage. We have eclipses coming up as well and there could be more violence as Mars approaches Saturn square Neptune later this month then into September. There is some kind of big change coming for politics and the Trump campaign in the states as well. Trump was born under an eclipse so these September eclipses will be in hard alignment to him as well, and having his progressed sun ingress into Virgo, changing his focus. Something big changes for him soon with big adjustments needed.

 We should all be aware that the last week of August could bring deceptive actions from the world stage. Whatever happens, there is more to it than what we will be told...

Other than that Saturn/Mars/Neptune issue coming later, things look very positive. Just do it right and plan for the struggle coming up in a few weeks so you're not unprepared and disappointed later. If you do things with integrity, maturity and structure now, you'll be able to pass the check point when the time comes. Otherwise, you might be denied and deported back into your old reality.

Just keep that in mind, but please do enjoy the joy and creative energy building as well! Use this exciting time to get you to where you want to be while at same time, enjoying the present moment too.

Hope this was helpful. Feel free to leave comments and questions below.

Happy Leo new moon.

Capricorn full moon July 19 2016 -understanding & expressing your heart's ambitions leads to positive changes.

This full moon is exact on July 19 2016  at 3:56 pm PDT 27 degrees Capricorn. 

Full moon's brings a peak in building energy since the new moon two weeks ago. The sun moon opposition plays out both within self and in your relationships, asking for release and change to recent feelings & circumstances as new experiences start to manifest. This is the Capricorn/Cancer axis. The sun is highlighting feelings, safety and security needs, along with home and family matters. The moon is reflecting your current ambitions, responsibilities and obligations. This energy is asking for greater balance between these areas of your life - what you're already committed to vs what you would like to be committed to while still feeling safe and secure.

Full moon's are usually a time of greater self awareness about your needs and your current life situation. Relationships are at peak intensity as well with possible oppositions showing up between you and others, which leads to changes.

Saturn rules Capricorn, therefore is the ruler of this full moon. Fortunately, Venus and Mercury are in Leo forming positive trine alignment with Saturn in Sagittarius. This indicates that relationships are a big part of this full moon. Not just romantic partners, but business partners and family partners as well, or anything that involves you and other people making plans.

Mercury with Venus has had these relationships and desires on the mind recently. Important conversations of late could be reflecting a part of this energy trying to manifest. Leo is the sign of the heart, Venus reflects your relationships & desires while Mercury has the mental focus and communication on all this. Saturn is a very grounding logical force. There is a certain maturity with the thinking process now. Serious important conversations with other people in your life about the future is likely. Your heart knows what you want and if you express that to the authority figures in your life that hold a level of control and power over what you can and can't do, then they will most likely be supportive of your plans and intentions, if you are being responsible and mature about it all, which is very likely, having this Saturn connection.

This full moon could be reflecting new awareness to your ambitions, what you really want for your future that is different from your current responsibilities and obligations. Yet, your need for safety and security is also a factor.

Venus trine Saturn has a grounded theme in relationships now, attracted to a certain level of maturity. Conversations are most likely talking about what your heart wants vs what you already have. Others are probably supportive of this, because it's logical and makes sense.

Mercury in quincunx with Neptune trine Saturn however activates the Saturn/Neptune square which will require you to make some mental adjustments to all this new activity trying manifest. You might have to face a certain level of reality vs fantasy and dreams, including illusions that you were hanging on to. Also your belief system about what is possible, what is real,what is not, etc could be under adjustments as well. Some disillusionment is possible about certain things as the mind is extra logical right now and not into what's fluffy. This could be true for relationships as well, as Venus makes this same aspect to Neptune over the next day or so, facing some adjustments to old desires about other people, or your desires in general including relationship needs. It's best to release what no longer works or what is no longer healthy for you and your life so you free up room to achieve what your heart really desires.

The moon is in same sign as Pluto while the sun/moon opposition is in waning Tsquare to Uranus indicating this full moon will bring significant changes to your life circumstances which should be very noticeable as you look back over the next six months. There has been a lot of instability as of late with possible sudden changes that were unexpected, dealing with power and control issues between you and others, or just turbulent feelings in general.  Anxiety has been strong as changes begin to manifest so we can live a more authentic life. The more you resist these changes the more anxiety you will feel. The full moon will bring relief to that tension over the next two weeks. Again, it's best to let go of what no longer is healthy for you, even if it takes some serious conversations about your current responsibilities and obligations. Being honest about your true desires, having courage to speak of them and being willing to make adjustments will lead to positive changes. New long term commitments to others can be formed after this full moon.

Capricorn moon is serious mature energy. This can lead to lots of worry if you are doing the right thing. However, the moon moves into Aquarius only a few hours later changing the mood and circumstances, and the sun moves into Leo on Friday bringing a big change to what the focus is on, so things begin to lighten up with better days on the way, focusing on the heart, what's joyful and fun. More creativity will come into focus as things begin to change and move forward.

Jupiter in Virgo is gaining more and more momentum forward so will speed up your life expansion once again with more opportunities in the coming months, then move into Libra bringing big boost to that area of your life for a year starting this fall.

Uranus in Aries will station Rx in a week or so,which indicates a break in outer life revolution so your inner world can catch up. However, as Uranus stations, its energy becomes very powerful, so expect major changes with some surprises over the next two weeks, which could be exciting too, or even chaotic with more shocks on the world stage. Then things start to mellow out a little, although there will still be turbulence within as people make big life changes.

Mars will still be in passionate determined intense Scorpio for the next two weeks until moving into Sagittarius again on Aug 2 right in time for the Leo new moon. That will be a good time, but until then Mars the planet of war and passion has a nasty stinger that can make it self known. (even more so). The world is going thru intense times now, Mars in Scorpio is fueling that passion even more, including the violence. Things will lighten up but the world changes and intensity will still be crazy for a long time to come. I think the short term after the next Leo new moon will help, but the next two weeks could be dramatic and passionate as the Leo and Scorpio energy is strong. Mars moving thru the last degrees of Scorpio has to send that passion somewhere, and not everyone will do that in a healthy way. Release anger, it's not doing your soul any good. Stop the blame game, take responsibility and accountability - be mature.

I'll leave at that folks. Have faith, keep the courage, follow your heart to what brings you the most joy in life. After all, life is damn short, death comes easy. Don't hide in fear, step up and face what wants to change.

Much love and most of all PEACE.

Cancer New Moon July 4 2016 - Facing fearful thoughts & feelings leads to new beginnings

New moon Monday morning 4 am PDT at 12 degrees 53 mins of Cancer (13 deg) in the protective Water sign of the Crab. This new moon has the influence of Mercury and Venus so indicates the mental focus is on your feelings about multiple relationships including maybe even family or people you're close with. There is a safeness that allows for sensitive communication, perhaps about subjects of the past or things that have been too difficult to feel safe expressing around fears and anxieties. If not actual communication, then the energy of the circumstances this weekend, Monday and beyond will allow for intellectual and emotional understanding within, which opens the path for new beginnings for some of your relationships, and even home and family matters.

1st aspect the moon makes after new moon is trine South Node, sextile North Node, so the past is biggest theme. Past memories, past feelings, past relationships, or whatever it is, there is something ready for a release and change. Cancer is symbolic of your roots, home and family, where you need to feel safe and protected. Find the sector of your chart that has Cancer, apply this information to those matters. Let go of the past which gives you an opening for something new. This is a karmic alignment for positive change if you face your fears.

New moon then opposite Pluto - facing the unspoken, transforming circumstances, home and family changes. Power and control dynamic is big factor and shifting in home and family circumstances. Feelings like guilt, fear, anger, memories, sensitivities, etc can make for some passive manipulation, consciously done or otherwise in order to express the feelings wanting to surface now. This leads to a transformation and new beginning in life circumstances to help you feel more safe and secure in your home environment or within your closest relationships.

Saturn Neptune - New moon energy is dealing with the Saturn Neptune battle, between dreams and reality, current obligations, long term plans vs new imaginative insight of possibility or where you self sacrifice, keeping you from progress in life. In order to feel safe people need to work out this confusion within, around what's real, what's not, what's wanted, what's needing release, etc.

July 6 has Venus in easy creative alignment with Mars. If you have personal planets around 23/24 deg Pisces, that's gonna be a nice sexy opportunity for you that day, getting a Grand Water Trine from Mars and Venus. In general this is a positive sex alignment. Both people will be feeling the desire and into it, depending on how transit Venus and Mars align with your own chart. There will be a sexy vibe in the room, even if you don't get any action. It's also good social cooperation. Trines don't create enough tension to cause people to do anything if they don't want. However, only hrs later Venus square Uranus indicates forced changes and some kind of unexpected relationship or money activity. It could be related to the Mars contact earlier, and probably is, because Mars rules Aries where Uranus is. This indicates it may be a surprise and a little stressful, but seems positive too, maybe even really exciting. If there is negative surprises for you, just remember that it leads to positive in some way. If nothing happens for you, then this alignment is not making any contact with your personal planets.

All this change is in the waxing energy of new beginnings on one or more levels of your life. The hardest thing about this is fears and not going direct enough on your desires, while not letting go of the past, including those tough memories and feelings.Perhaps its time for a change of home environment? Relationship changes?  It different for everyone. Some people will retreat to safety if they are too full of that fear and build a protective shell around them. The opp to Pluto and square to Uranus will cause too much tension to do nothing. It will be less stressful just to flow and change rather than fight and hold on to the past. It's a change of season now, inside and out...flow with it for best results.

Happy new moon folks,
Rik

10 signs the USA is facing fated critical turning point the next 2-5 years

Looking at the progressed chart of the USA within the USA natal chart shows how America is facing some kind of rare fated changes over the next couple years and beyond.

There is several indications of this by looking at what aspects are currently being formed as well as considering where the transit planets are right now within the birth chart of the United States.



I'll list the 10 most powerful indicators of critical fated changes currently in the works and on the future horizon.

1. USA Progressed Venus T-Square the Nodes of Fate. 2016-2017

Prog Venus in the USA chart is symbolic of the country's evolving values & resources. It's also reflecting the people's current desires.  Venus in a hard aspect (double square) to the moon's nodes indicates fated changes are underway for the values & resources of this country over the next couple years, that will have long lasting effects. Decisions made by the people of the USA this year will change our fate, for better or worse when it comes to our values & resources. The last time Prog Venus was in T-Square to the Nodes of Fate was 143 years ago when the USA revised the law relating to the Mint of the country with the Coinage act of 1873. Also that was the year of the Panic of 1873 - a financial crisis that triggered a depression for several years. Something similar regarding our values & resources most likely will change again with this new T-square of 2016-2017.

2. USA Progressed Venus square America's natal Pluto exact May 2017

Again in context to the United States values & resources, this aspect indicates rare troubles that leads to changes for the country's financial system. Pluto is like a death force indicating turbulence, hidden power & control over our values & what we want. The dark-side of our values become clear and most likely some kind of slow change to all this is currently underway peaking next May of 2017, however will continue to be in this energy for the next decade. Venus reflects the people as well, so connecting to Pluto in hard aspect shows how American society is under death energy with dirty and dark values emerging from the shadows but ultimately leads to a full transformation over the next decade.

3. USA Progressed Mars Rx Opposite Chiron 

This is an extremely rare alignment which is also in place for the next several years. Chiron in this chart indicates the universal wounds of the people, which opposite Mars is no-doubt the gun violence plaguing America. Sadly to say, this aspect is only building stronger and won't be going away anytime soon.

4. The USA Progressed moon is Rising 2016-2017

Every 30 years the progressed moon of the USA enters the first house, what we call Rising. Whether this happens to an individual person's life or on the scale of entire nation, it's a rare big deal. Anytime a planet or space body is conjunct one of the four angles of the chart, it's a very important time regarding that energy in the life of the person, or in this case - the nation. The Progressed moon shows the current circumstances of the USA, when Rising in Sagittarius, these circumstances are rare with big over-the-top energy as a new 30 year cycle of what we as a nation are hungry for is starting. However it's even more powerful this time because transit Saturn is also Rising for the USA.

 5. Transit Saturn is Rising in the USA chart 2016-2017

Transit Saturn has about a 30 year cycle as well, so when it reaches one of the four angles, it's going to be an extra serious & critical few years with major authority crackdowns on the country and its people. New laws with a need for restrictions to freedom often arises with this cycle, which could be in place for at least 30 years after. The fact the USA's progressed moon (circumstances) are joining with Transit Saturn on important angle shows circumstances are fearful, critical, authoritative & lacking fun and joy, maybe even lacking true freedom.

6. The USA Progressed sun is conjunct the IC -(bottom of the chart angle)

This is a very rare aspect, the first time in the USA's history as the USA's progressed sun conjuncts the natal IC angle of the USA chart (bottom) in 2017 for a year, but will be in the 4th house sector for the next 30 years, putting the focus of the country back on its self. This is going to highlight our nation's roots, where we've come from and where we want to go. This will place focus on the nation's need for protection, safety and security, retreating inward into self for the next 30 years. The people are more fearful of the outside world than ever before, and might even want to isolate and close itself in, blocking out everyone else. The moon Rising and the sun at the bottom angle is even more powerful because it's actually the USA's progressed last quarter square.

7. The Progressed USA entering the last Quarter square

The last Quarter square of the moon is in conflict with the sun, but on the critical angles of the chart make it even more powerful, leading to a crisis in consciousness for the nation. The feelings of the people are in conflict with the focus (self-protection). This last square of the cycle between the moon and sun indicates we can't push thru the challenges and obstacles, rather we as a nation must retreat into self and make internal changes. We need to let go of the past in new ways, releasing what's no longer healthy for us, while accepting that America reached a high point years ago in this last cycle but is no longer the case. We are needing to restructure our system, with less focus on the outside world as we are going thru this process of change. We need to be cautious of idealization, illusions and self-destructive behavior, while also not letting fears and the need for protection determine our fate with our polices that might be out-of-touch with reality.


8. Transit Uranus is square the natal USA Mercury 2016-2017

This is another rare transit that is in hard alignment to the nation's Mercury. The USA Mercury is how we as a nation think and perceive the world, but also our communication style & intellect. The United States has Mercury in Cancer 8th house so we are always thinking & talking about protection from death - too fearful and never letting go of past memories. Transit Uranus is surprise energy, unusual situations and rebellious influences. Uranus square this point of our Mercury indicates shocking news and information that emerges over the next couple years. The first pass is July 2 2016 but will remain strong for a couple years leading to many news and media shocks on the way. It's also reflecting the people of the USA have a very rebellious mindset building, but can trigger any hidden mental illness of its people too. Mercury can also represent the transportation industry, so some shocking news on that front is possible too.

9. Transit Pluto opposite the USA natal sun & Progressed Jupiter in the financial houses

This is a 248 year cycle so yes, another rare transit that brings tough times. This transit actually started back in 2008 when Pluto was opposite the nation's Venus leading to the resource crash. Then around 2013 Pluto was opp the USA sun where it's pretty much been ever since leading to powerful slow changes for this country. Transit Pluto opp the USA sun has been bringing to light all the dirty hidden aspects of our country's structure and policy, including our law enforcement issues among other topics that we as a nation should be ashamed of. The USA's progressed Jupiter is conjunct the USA sun in 8th house so this why we have gotten so big and rich over the years, as Jupiter is the largest planet in solar system. But now transit Pluto opp that point is making it clear how we got to be so powerful and is exposing our shadow to the world. This is a slow building energy so this light being lit on our dark-side has been underway for many years and peaks with the nation's Pluto Return, slowly transforming the country until then.

10. Transit Pluto Returning to its USA natal position for a new 248 year cycle.

This is so rare and happening in the 2nd and 8th houses - the money and value houses, also the life and death houses, so this is a slow change to what we value as a country and how we create wealth. These next several years are going to be full of destructive events, evil, darkness exposed and huge changes to our value system. Powerful events outside of our control will dominate us, perhaps even eventually leading to full change of the foundation and structure of our nation. This has never happened in the history of the USA, so you can bet this is a big deal, albeit slow so hard to see what's truly happening in the moment with full perspective. This Pluto return peaks starting after 2020.

With all these rare alignments, I can say with 100% certainty the USA is headed for the most critical time of its existence over the next 5 years with possible change of value both financially and of what we value on earth, even a full change to the foundation and structure of this country that peaks after the year 2020. The choices made now will have fated consequences for the years to come, including who is elected or placed in power in Washington. Whomever is the next US President will most likely only have one term as they create some kind of rare chaos for the country and perhaps the world. There could even be a peak in world crisis with global war over the next 5 years, which changes EVERYTHING.

These are rare times people. You can have hope, but the stars are reflecting that things will only get worse before better. I'm sorry to say, but I feel it's the truth. The best thing you can do is make alternative long term back up plans that don't rely on your country for anything.

Thanks for reading.
Rik.
