That’s Mercury in Taurus. Thoughts don’t just float in and out—they settle. If an idea doesn’t feel structurally sound, it gets dismissed. But once something does make sense? It stays locked in, even if new facts show up to challenge it.

This week, Mercury moves into Taurus. Communication slows down, but it also gets stuck in a ditch. People get more deliberate, more resistant to half-baked theories—and more likely to repeat the same damn point until someone gives up. (Filibuster energy, for real.)

It’s words and thoughts that endure. Sometimes usefully. Sometimes stubbornly. And sometimes until your throat gives out—because Mercury in Taurus is also associated with hoarseness, sore throats, and losing your voice from talking so damn much. The body knows when it’s tired of your argument, even if your brain doesn’t.

Mercury in Taurus doesn’t sound like a trap—but it can be.​
Especially when you're smart enough to argue your way into a corner.
And Saturn/Poseidon? That’s what happens when a worldview hardens into a system—clear, consistent, and not easily questioned.

Saturn/Poseidon on the World Axis: Builders, Breakers, and Believers

While Mercury digs its heels into Taurus, the Saturn/Poseidon midpoint lands on the world axis—and suddenly, the spotlight’s on people who define belief by breaking away (separation, aka segregation).

This isn’t just about being devout or skeptical. It’s about splitting off from the dominant narrative and creating something else—structured, rigid, often controversial.

This combination shows up in the charts of:

• Nathan Bedford Forrest (founder of the KKK)
• Charles Manson
• Martin Luther (who cracked the Catholic Church in half)
• Sigmund Freud and Carl Jung (who splintered again from Freud)
• Louis Farrakhan
• Lots of atheists
• And yes, Donald Trump 🫤

These figures didn’t just believe (or not believe) things. They built infrastructure around those beliefs—systems that stuck, whether helpful or harmful. So, that’s the global feeling we’re in. 😬

Saturn/Poseidon also governs physical infrastructure tied to water: bridges, dams, ports, pipelines. When the foundation is weak or the pressure’s too high, things collapse. It can also bring problems related to water, in general.

At its best, this combo gives us the Teacher—someone who turns knowledge into something lasting. At its worst? The cult leader, the ideologue, the one who won’t budge even when the bridge is clearly cracking.

Speaking of teachers, I’ve been laying the groundwork for something educational and enduring... 🤩

🔮 Big Deck Energy: Tarot Card Pull for the Week

Welcome to Big Deck Energy—where I pull a tarot card each week on behalf of our collective to offer insight, reflection, or a much-needed reality check. Think of it as a weekly reset, a moment to pause and take in what’s unfolding. This week, I asked: What truth am I holding onto that needs to be re-examined?

Here's what the Tarot had to say: Ace of Wands 🔥

This is one of my favorite cards in the deck. The Ace of Wands is the beginning of the beginning—the spark, the call, the undeniable yes. It’s that gut-deep knowing of who you are and what you came here to do. The moment when the fire lights and says, “I was born for this.” There’s divine purpose in it. Your ancestors paved the way for it. You’re part of something way bigger.

But here’s the truth that might need a second look: the spark alone isn’t enough.

The Ace of Wands gives you inspiration, not infrastructure. You might be holding onto the idea that your passion will carry you—but this card is quietly raising an eyebrow. Because without a plan, that fire fizzles out... or sets the wrong thing ablaze.

You can’t just vibe your way into legacy. Light the match and make a plan.

The Forever FLOTUS, Michelle Obama 👸🏾, said:

That’s true. Recognition isn’t the assignment—using it is.
​And that means building the system, the structure, the curriculum...
for your own damn light to shine.
