Well, if this isn't the most astrologically coherent headline I've seen in a while. The largest nuclear reactor in Europe was blocked by an invasion of jellyfish, just as the Moon joins the North Node and Saturn & Neptune conjunct in Pisces, opposing Mars and squaring Uranus at 1° Gemini.

All the media energy focused on Trump and the only real value is to point and mock to break up the serious news.
He’s an attention sink for all the truly sinister people standing in the shadows behind him.
And he’s such a narcissistic goon he has no idea he’s being played.

To be clear, I abhor the way immigrants are being treated in the US right now. But I'm simultaneously appalled by how many people find it normal that they work as slave labour for peanuts. America is so dysfunctional.

I don't see how the government of any other countries can contemplate any sort of an alliance or trade deal with the US as long as this monstrous administration remains in place.
