A new episode of The Mystical Underground is live! “Trish MacGregor: Star Power For September 2022”:
Join Trish for the September 2022 astrological forecast!
New moons typically indicate new opportunities in the area of your life represented by the houses. Sounds like it should be pretty simple, right?
But how the events unfold also depends on the aspects other planets make to this moon. With this new moon at 4 degrees Virgo, in house 3, there’s a square om Mars at 4 Gemini up there in house 11. Squares generally indicate conflict, friction, and when Mars is involved, you may feel like you’re getting ready for some kind of war. With Mars in Gemini, it may be a war of words.
Uranus in Taurus, in house 10 along with the North Node (horseshoes shape) squares Venus in Leo down therein house 1. Generally, that could indicate friction in a romance or a conflict about money.
However, that Mars in Gemini trines Mercury in Libra, in house 3. That combination is all about communication. So if your war involves words. you win!

This is one the strangest and most immediate incidents we’ve heard of where creativity and real life don’t just intersect, but have a head-on collision.

In the 1970s, prolific comic book writer Doug Moench wrote and worked on Planet of the Apes for Marvel Comics. It was Marvel’s longest-lived series and featured original Ape stories as well as adaptations of the various movies. In 1975, it ran eleven issues that included color versions of the adaptation of the first two films, which Moench wrote.
On one particular day, Moench had just completed writing a scene for a Planet of the Apes comic book about a black-hooded gorilla named Brutus. In the scene, Brutus invaded the hero’s home, grabbed the man’s partner by the neck, and held a gun to her head so the hero would do what he demanded.
Just as Moench finished writing the scene, he heard his wife calling for him from the other side of the house. He thought her voice sounded strange. He hurried across the house and when he entered the living room, saw a man in a black hood with one arm around his wife’s neck and his other hand clutching a gun that he held to her head.
“It was exactly what I had written…it was so immediate in relation to the writing and such an exact duplicate of what I had written, that it became an instant altered state,” Moench told Jeffrey R. Kripal, who wrote about the incident in Mutants and Mystics: Science Fiction, Superhero Comics, and the Paranormal. Kripal’s book is filled with stories like this.
We initially felt this incident was precognitive, but it occurred so closely to when Moench was writing the scene that it’s more likely it was telepathic or clairvoyant – seeing events at a distance. The intruder, after all, had to find a way to enter the house, then get inside and seize Moench’s wife. Or, was the intruder already inside the house as he began writing the scene?
After the experience, Moench found it difficult to write. He was afraid that whatever he wrote might happen. “It really does make you wonder,” Moench said. “Are you seeing the future? Creating an alternate reality? Should you give up writing forever after something like this happens? I don’t know.”
Moench didn’t give up writing. But Kripal noted that the black-hooded figure became his obsession for months, then years.
This kind of experience isn’t uncommon when it comes to artistic expression and real life. It’s one example from our book in progress, Visions: A Thoughtful Guide to Paranormal Experiences.
Meet Florida’s governor ron desantis. This is puke worthy.This dude doesn’t understand that only Tom Cruise can do Tom Cruise in Top Gun.
And oh, Ron, you got some facts wrong. Florida was never the freest state and it really isn’t now with the banning of books, the don’t say gay bill, the way you handled covid, the conspiracy theories…
Patterns are intrinsic to our lives. They’re evident in our behaviors, thoughts, desires and beliefs, our perceptions, relationships, the foods we like and the foods we can’t stomach. They’re also intrinsic to synchronicity.
I think it was a college professor who once remarked that if I wanted to be a writer, my first job was to grasp the patterns. Once you see the patterns in anything – person, situation, actions – then you can put together the larger truth.
For most of the time that trump has been in the public eye – as a former reality TV star, a real estate guy, a citizen, husband, father, and prez, the same patterns are evident:
When he’s confronted with something he doesnt want to hear – like a criticism, an opponent, an accusation – he spews distractions. By now, we recognize the usual distractions: it’s a lie, it didn’t happen, I hardly know her (or him), that’s deep state stuff, it’s outrageous…
He doesn’t take responsibility for his own actions. He points the finger at someone else and that person or those people take the fall for him. Michael Cohen, for instance. Or trump’s generals, or Allen Weisselberg, Mark Meadows, Rudy Gulliani, Kevin McCarthy, Lindsay Graham…
Liar. When he called on his fans to march on the capitol, said he would be marching with them. Many of those rioters have been charged and sentence. Has trump? Nope. Not yet.
He doesn’t pay his employees… I’d heard this for a long time by friends who lived in NY and had worked for trump in some capacity. But perhaps the best witness to this pattern of his is trump attorney John Eastman. From the NY Times: On the day of President Biden’s inauguration, John Eastman suggested looking for voting irregularities in Georgia — and asked for help in getting paid the $270,000 he had billed the Trump campaign.
From what I’ve read, Eastman still hasn’t been paid.
Use the press for any possibility of making money. Otherwise known as grifter. With the FBI search of Mar a Lago, all legal and court-ordered, Trump saw an opportunity to make money. So he made the announcement that the FBI had raided his home, planted documents, weaponized the DOJ. He fired up his hardcore, armed base with posts on his personal version of twitter. And, oh yeah, he would announce his 2024 presidential candidacy soon – i.e. send donations.
All this stuff – the facts, the fiction – is online. But whether you get the facts or the fiction depends on your own emotional and intellectual patterns. What’s your primary source of information? One devoted trump fan told me he depends on “citizen journalists” for his news. I’m not even sure what that means. Bloggers? Facebook posts? Dark web apps?
When I remarked to a religious neighbor that I didn’t understand her admiration of trump, that he was the most unchristian politician I’d ever seen, she said he prayed with Pence and that was enough for her. But trump wasn’t praying with Pence on January 6. He supported the chants of “Hang Pence.” Supported that makeshift gallows that was erected with a noose hanging from it.
So, patterns. And right now, the prevailing patterns don’t look so good for trump, the guy who has never been held accountable for anything. Facing legal challenges from every side, what are trump’s patterns screaming at him now?
Find your fall guy.
Announce your presidency.
Garland’s DOJ won’t indict a presidential candidate.
Uh, well, time to bargain. 20 years instead of life – this one is doubtful.

The “Al-Naslaa” rock in Tayma oasis of Saudi Arabia looks like it’s been cut in half perfectly with a laser technology. The rock, which stands on two adjacent platforms, is over 4,000 years old, and no one knows how it happened. The person at the bottom provides perspective on the size of the rock.
Considering how things are divided in this country and elsewhere, Al-Naslaa is a perfect symbol of our times.
Today, I remarked to someone that it feels like the country has lost its soul. Just take a look:
– Banned abortion, a right women have had for nearly 50 years
– Invalidated gun restrictions, no licenses needed in states that used to require a license
– Publicly funded school voucher programs must now include religious establishments and districts are required to allow coach-led, post game prayers on the field
– Oh, and they also struck down carbon emissions standards, limiting the EPA’s ability to slow climate change. The principle they used to do this can also reduce the government’s power to regulate much of anything.
People who throughout the pandemic were screaming about my body, my right about not taking vaccines, probably don’t have any problem with the government controlling women’s bodies when it comes to pregnancy. After all, they reason, abortion is murder.
A neighbor said this to me during a heated text exchange one night and what I should have asked was: By what edict is abortion murder? God? Religion? Science?
When I told another podcaster about the flooding in Miami Beach at high tide, he nearly lost his mind. “Trish, the sea hasn’t risen a centimeter in a century. Show me your proof!”
My proof? Drive to Miami Beach during high tide.
And people like the podcaster will be celebrating the supremes’s decision about carbon emissions. No such thing as climate change, nope, not happening.
Many in this crowd also adhere to the belief that the pandemic was all a government hoax intended to instill fear in people, to get them to take the evil vaccine which would enable the government spy on them. This theory is all twisted up with 5G, with multiple versions of the perils of the vaccine. In another text message exchange with the person who claimed abortion was murder, I said, “Well, we’re all vaccinated and if we turn into aliens, we’ll come for you.”
The erosion of the separation of state and religion is evident. Unless something drastically changes – in the makeup of the supreme court, in their apparent impunity, in the length of their appointments – then things look terrifying. We’ll be living not only in an autocracy, but a theocracy, where you’re told what you must believe in terms of religion.
Throughout all this bedlam the supreme court has created, there are some interesting synchronicities. Here’s the trickster.
– Rudy Gulliani, when disputing the testimony of Cassidy Hutchinson about who asked for pardons, said, “She wasn’t around when I asked for a pardon.”
-Or take Ron Johnson, republican senator from Wisconsin, who pretended to be on his cell while being pursued by a reporter by an NBC who wanted more information about the “alternate state of electors.” This was after the June 22 hearing, when it was revealed that his chief of staff had texted an assistant to Mike Pence to offer an “alternate slate of electors” backing Trump before Congress officially certified the 2020 election results.
The reporter – Frank Thorpe V- told Johnson he could see the screen of the senator’s phone and he wasn’t on a call. Johnson finally gave up the pretense and engaged with reporters. Another trickster? Or does that one even qualify as a synchro?
But here’s another oddity. A neighbor ended up owing $111,000 to a hospital for an ailment she had in early 2020. She divulged this particular fact when we ran into each other at the grocery store. I said, “That sure makes the case for universal health care.”
“Forget that,” she snapped. “I want to be able to choose my own doctor.”
Huh?
This is an instance, I think, where the trickster provides the missing link. Universal health care means you walk into a hospital and pay a minimal charge for the visit or nothing at all. Health care for profit means you’re charged $111,000 for your care. The trickster whispers, You’re not connecting the dots.
The problem with the trickster is that all too often we don’t recognize its presence or hear its voice because it makes us look bad. We can’t laugh at what we don’t perceive, especially when it concerns ourselves.
This edition of Popular Science has some fascinating articles on where the future may be taking us though technology and innovation. It covers everything from memory to health, transplants, urban futures, work, species and ecosystems, climate change and a world without cars. One of the most intriguing articles is called “Saving democracy” and concerns the profound implications of the Internet and social media and access to information.
The author, Stephen Lewandowsky, is a cognitive scientist at the University of Bristol in the UK. When the Internet first emerged and its potential was realized, “people celebrated the global village, the interconnectedness that would enable democracy to flourish. “This optimistic endorsement crash-landed in 2016 when Cambridge Analytica, Russian bots, Brexit, and the election of Donal Trump revealed the darker side of global connectedness and the ability of large-scale organized manipulation and disinformation to polarize societies and to undermine democracy,” the author writes.
As he points out, we’re only now beginning to understand the implications of this technology. It can “both erode democracy and expand democracy, can be a tool of autocrats as well as activists and…provides a voice to the marginalized while simultaneously giving reach to fanatics and extremists.” He refers to it as a Jekyll and Hyde technology that developed so quickly the full consequences weren’t understood. That’s an understatement.
The problem now isn’t mentioned in this issue. Right wing extremism – the fanatics – are hoping to rewrite the constitution, an idea proposed by Rick Santorum (remember him?) and other conservatives like John Eastman and Sean Hannity. As the Insider reports: “You take this grenade and you pull the pin, you’ve got a live piece of ammo in your hands,” Santorum, a two-time GOP presidential candidate and former CNN commentator, explained in audio of his remarks obtained by the left-leaning watchdog group the Center for Media and Democracy and shared with Insider. “34 states — if every Republican legislator votes for this, we have a constitutional convention.”
So far, 19 states have joined this movement to call for a new constitution. “Article V provides two methods to amend the Constitution. Either Congress can pass an amendment — which is how all 27 amendments to the Constitution were added — or two-thirds of US states can call for a convention to amend the document, which has never been done.”
And you can be sure the result will annihilate more rights, limit the powers of congress, the DOJ and the executive branch.
The Right Is Trying to Rewrite the Constitution to Cement Minority Rule Forever
