Astrological Alignments and the Pluto Return of Los Angeles
That brings us to June 15, 2025, with the yod, the “finger of God,” formation (Saturn/Neptune and Pluto, with Mars as the apex). This correlates now with what’s happening in Los Angeles. If I just take this yod configuration event, the Jupiter-Saturn-Neptune-World Point Square alignment, and overlay it over the Los Angeles City Charter Horoscope for September 4, 1781, we can see that Los Angeles is going through its own Pluto return.
We’ve discussed this earlier in the year with the fires. And I did predict that we’re going to see more fires. Now, of course, there haven’t been any home fires, but I said there’s going to be plenty more fires happening around April, May. Now, it happened in June, so there was a bit of a delay. But I said, there’s going to be more fires. And I said, you know, you haven’t seen the last of this. There’s going to be more and more unraveling.
And what we see now (besides the LA Pluto return) is this Saturn-Neptune alignment right on LA’s natal moon. We also see Jupiter right on the natal Uranus and Mars right on the natal Mercury. All of this indicates some big stuff is coming down. Big stuff is going to implode, or explode—or implode simultaneously.
Pam Bondi Drops the Hammer: Curfews and Federal Charges in LA
And what did we see happen today? “Pam Bondi drops Thor’s hammer,” saying LA rioters face federal robbery charges under the Hobbs Act. So basically, what we’ve seen is Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass was forced to impose a curfew on downtown LA—a move that stands in stark contrast to earlier claims from California Democrats that the protesters were mostly peaceful, calm, and non-destructive.
And the optics for California Democrats, particularly far-left LA Mayor Karen Bass and the infamous Governor Gavin Newsom, have taken a turn for the negative. Their characterization of the riots as mostly peaceful is increasingly being contradicted by viral footage of looting, vehicle fires, and street-level chaos.
Public sentiment appears to be shifting, with growing scrutiny on the role of well-funded, far-left NGOs involved in organizing the unrest. Meanwhile, a federal judge denied California’s request for an immediate restraining order that would temporarily prohibit the Trump administration from deploying Marines and the National Guard in the state.
Newsom vs. Trump: The Showdown Begins
Now, we all knew that was going to happen. But Newsom, in response, calls for rebellion against Trump. “California fights MAGA mania.” The moment we feared has arrived. This is all being egged on by Governor Newsom, who thinks he is the shoo-in candidate to beat and defeat Vance in the 2028 election. So he’s making his big move. He believes, “We are taking on Trump.”
Pam Bondi basically said that right now, we’re the ones keeping California safe, meaning the federal government. “If Gavin Newsom won’t do it, we will. And everyone who’s participating in this? They’re gonna get locked up. Charges under the Hobbs Act.” That carries a maximum of 20 years in prison. Yeah, 20 years in federal prison. Hard time.
So this is all very much connected with what we’ve been talking about. I’m predicting big things are happening. I think Gavin is gonna triple down. I think the NGOs are gonna put the pedal to the metal—not only in Los Angeles, but they’re gonna start moving into other cities as well.
And I think Trump is gonna unleash the Kraken, legally, in terms of giving Pam Bondi, the FBI, Homeland Security, the military, National Guard, Marines—everything they need to neutralize this. So this is gonna be the showdown.
The Civil War Trigger: Gavin Newsom as the Opposition Figurehead
And we have Gavin Newsom, the leader of the Democratic Party, or basically the perceived leader… You know, people were talking about how there’s going to be a civil war in the United States, and we’re going to have a moment where it’s going to be triggered, right? And we’re going to find out: it’s Trump versus who?
So, it’s obvious now. It’s really clear that it’s going to be Gavin Newsom. Will he come out the winner? Will Newsom—will California—be the winner?
Now, what do you think the astrology says? You’re going through a Pluto return. You’ve got all these big alignments hitting your moon, hitting your Uranus, hitting your Mercury… If I had a client like this, what do you think I would tell them? You think I would say, “Hey, put the pedal to the metal. The law is on your side, the gods are on your side, the people are on your side”? NO.
The Existential Crisis of Los Angeles
So this is a form of existential crisis. Los Angeles—whatever made Los Angeles—is in the process of an existential crisis. It’s in a fiscal existential crisis. Hollywood—most movies are not being made in Hollywood anymore. People are leaving Hollywood. You have producers leaving. They’re all moving to Vegas, setting up studios here.
So we’re looking at the basic economic and social implosion of Los Angeles as it goes through this radical reconfiguration and transformational death-rebirth process. And people living in Los Angeles think, “Oh, it’s all Trump, and if it wasn’t for him, everything would be great.” They do not understand what’s really going down.
Autonomous Warfare: AI Drones and the Collapse of Russia’s Fleet
So the other thing that’s happening right now is Putin told Trump that he… So what happened was NATO coordinated with Zelensky, provided autonomous AI-empowered drones to the Ukrainians. And basically, those AI drones—they were autonomous, meaning they were intelligent, they knew how to evade all Russian defenses, and they were able to only go after the particular aircraft they were targeting, which was the Russian strategic air command.
You know, the big bombers, the cruise missile bombers. And basically, about 40 to 50 different drones went to five different Russian air bases and destroyed 37% of their strategic nuclear cruise missile bombers. Seven billion dollars was destroyed in one swift strike by these drones that cost less than $2,000 apiece.
So when people say, “Hey, AI—I don’t believe in it, I don’t think it’s real…” It’s here. It’s here, folks. The fact that the AI was able to destroy 37%—could you imagine if America lost 37% of its entire strategic bombers? Its B-52s, B-1s, B-2s—all destroyed by a bunch of drones you could basically buy at Best Buy?
You chip it with an autonomous AI chip, you give it a set of instructions to target an aircraft, then you put a particular munition on it. Right? So that’s essentially what happened.
The Collapse of Diplomacy and Russia’s New War Posture
So, in response, Putin told Trump that he’s going to respond to Ukraine’s strategic drone strike earlier this month. The likelihood of Ukraine cutting its losses by agreeing to more of Russia’s demands for peace is now nil.
Basically, it was like this: they were going to meet for peace, then Zelensky went ahead with this plan days before they were going to meet in Turkey, and basically destroyed 37% of the Russian fleet. Now, Putin is really saying, “All right, it doesn’t matter. I’m going to take what I want. I’m not negotiating anything now. If I want to take the whole country, I will. But I’m going to take what I want, I’m going to do what I want, and when I’m ready to negotiate, we will. But until then, it’s war.”
Israel-Iran War Alert: Tensions Escalate Toward Global Crisis
Now, talking about war, the other big thing is that the U.S. is now on high alert in anticipation of a potential full-scale Israeli strike on Iran. This is coming directly from U.S. CENTCOM (United States Central Command) from the Middle East. It is now at level two. Level one is World War III. So it went from level four or five down to level two.
Starting today, the U.S. State Department has ordered all embassies within striking distance of Iranian assets—Iranian missiles—including those in the Middle East, Eastern Europe, and North Africa, to form emergency action committees for evacuation and send cables back to Washington regarding measures to mitigate risk.
The Associated Press also added that the U.S. Embassy in Baghdad is preparing all non-essential personnel to leave immediately for potential regional unrest. And everybody who’s living or staying there—who’s American, I’m sure British, and everybody else—to get out of Dodge, and get out now.
Prediction Fulfilled: U.S. Carries Out Major Strike on Iran
Now, the reason why this is probably more real than not is because Trump was leaving to go to an event. He was stopped and the press asked, “Why are U.S. dependents of military personnel being evacuated from the Middle East?” And Trump stopped and just said, “You’ll have to see,” and then got into the car.
So when we look at the configuration—that yod configuration we were talking about earlier—I noticed here, look at that, Mars going right over Iran, right? So the probability of a strike, I would say, is now—I’m going to have to look at the prediction markets, but I bet if we look at Polymarket, it’s probably around 60, 65%.
And looking at the astrology, I would say it’s about 70% probability that we’re going to see a massive strike on Iran—something on a scale we’ve never seen. So a very big operation may take place, for a number of reasons.
