Trickle Down Astrology Reading with Grounding Ritual from Astrology by Faye.

She's got the whole world in her hands, and it starts from the inside out

What's happening in the world right now is affecting all of us. So, instead of ignoring it, we’re going to stay grounded and strong as we move through it. That means taking a beat to breathe so we can think clearly and decide what we’re going to do with what’s coming at us.

We have sovereign power over our own lives and the choices we make. And my first choice is to stay aware of 3D chaos while staying connected to 5D peace.

Right now, the collective astrology is moving power out of the hands of leadership and into the hands of individuals. Staying centered is more important than ever before.

Now let’s look at the astrology of the President, and I don't mean just the one who is in the White House right now, although he is the major player.

It's unusual to focus a reading here, but it’s impossible to be in the modern world in this moment without feeling the astrology of this world leader pressing in on our lives.

But I'm taking a look back over the past century to get a wider view.

Saturn moved into Aries on February 13, 2026. And throughout much of American history, Saturn in Aries has brought scandal, political hardship, and bad news to the man sitting at the Resolute Desk in the Oval Office.

It takes 29–30 years for Saturn to move around the zodiacal wheel, and the last time he was here, President Bill Clinton was deep in the Monica Lewinsky scandal. That scandal tarnished what might have been a bright legacy for Clinton, whose name always brings up thoughts of cigar stories in the Oval Office. Nearly everyone in this community can remember that.

Thirty years earlier, in 1968, Lyndon Johnson was drowning politically in the Vietnam War. Many of us in this community can remember that.

Following the Tet Offensive, launched by the North Vietnamese on January 30-31, legendary news anchor Walter Cronkite declared the war a stalemate. Johnson famously remarked, "If I've lost Cronkite, I've lost Middle America".

Two months later, on March 31, 1968, Johnson announced to the country that he would not seek reelection that year. When a sitting president makes this kind of choice, he essentially ends his political career, and his party goes into a state of shock. It’s a political Pearl Harbor.

Thirty years before that in 1938, while Saturn was transiting through Aries, the U.S. economy suffered a sharp, unexpected downturn known as the "Roosevelt Recession.” Unemployment spiked leading to a conservative coalition in Congress that began actively opposing FDR's New Deal.

The New Deal established the cornerstone of the modern social safety net through Social Security and various relief programs that provided essential aid to the elderly, the unemployed, and the disabled. By redefining the government's role, these programs paved the way for the inclusion of minorities and immigrants, ultimately fueling the momentum of the Civil Rights Movement.

This New Deal set up a conservative coalition against government assistance to underserved and underemployed citizens that would eventually lead to the election of Ronald Reagan. Decades later that would lead us to the election of DJT and his party’s attempt to implement Project 2025, giving the president king-like power over American democracy.

Going back to 1938–39, President Roosevelt was deep in his own struggle, accused of setting up a political world where he becomes America’s first monarch after suggesting he would run for a third term. It would take the attack on Pearl Harbor and the USA’s entry into World War II to unite the country and end FDR’s struggles at home. During that war, he would easily win a third term and then a fourth, dying in office at the end of World War II on April 12, 1945, less than a month before V-E Day (Victory in Europe).

This is a perfect example of a major cycle ending. Saturn is about “the builder,” and FDR was the ultimate builder of 20th-century systems. He finished the “blueprints” for the modern world, but he passed the “construction” of that world over to the next generation, Harry Truman and the American people.

Upon taking office, President Truman said, “I felt like the moon, the stars, and all the planets had fallen on me.” This vividly captures the Saturnian weight of responsibility being suddenly thrust upon an individual.

Go back another thirty years and you find another monarchy-autocracy backlash. But this happened to a different Roosevelt: Theodore Roosevelt, our 26th president. I won’t go deep into that history, but Roosevelt 26’s executive orders and his “Square Deal” were wildly popular because they benefited the average American, not the robber barons who opposed him.

Like LBJ, Teddy Roosevelt chose not to seek reelection in 1908. However, Taft’s election to the presidency ended in scandal that brought Teddy back into politics to run again in 1912. He lost to Woodrow Wilson. World War I would begin in 1914, and the United States would enter it in 1918.

This 30-year pattern focuses on political party schisms that come to a head when Saturn transits through Aries.

Aries is the sign of the “Self” and the “Warrior.” When Saturn, the planet of structure, restriction, and responsibility, enters Aries, in politics, it forces a confrontation between the individual leader at the top and the party structure.

In almost every 30-year jump, the “difficulty” isn’t just a random scandal; it’s a civil war within the president’s own house.

We can see that happening today in April 2026.

With all of that history in mind and considering how Saturn in Aries brings a master class in personal sovereignty to the individual, this transit points to practicing response rather than reaction.

Saturn in Aries adds to our current president’s astrological woes as his birth chart lights up with negative potential. Rather than taking us into the weeds, if you’re curious, you can do your own research into the activations happening in his chart. Uranus in Taurus, recently square his natal Mars in Leo, is a major force at work right now, but even more important is the point that I dive into next.

Solar Arc Neptune is opposing the president’s Sun now through the end of 2026. Pam Gregory says that is an excellent transit for someone on a spiritual path. But, for someone who is not on that path, it wipes out your physical energy. It suggests confusion and frailty.

If you saw the President at the White House Easter Lunch on April 1st, or if you read his bizarre, expletive-filled Easter Sunday message, celebrating US plans for war crimes against Iran on Easter Sunday, you saw this opposition in action.

At the lunch, Trump fantasized about being a king, admitted there’s no money left for health care or childcare because of the war he started, and daydreamed about seizing all of Iran’s oil.

He also mentioned his address to the country to take place later that evening, saying to the audience, “Tonight I’m making a little speech at 9 o’clock, and basically I’m gonna tell everybody how great I am.”

We are living through a massive reset that must be played out on the world stage, where most of us stand back with our mouths hanging open in shock. Then, about the time you think it can’t get any more bizarre — it does.

But through it all, we can hold love in our hearts and remain true to our intention to take part in creating a world of peace and compassion where every sentient being has value.

Recognizing that you can’t change the world, but you can change your response to the world, makes all the difference. We talk about it a lot these days on the SG’s channel.

“The way out is in” is a profound quote by Zen Master Thich Nhat Hanh. He was talking about how we can find true liberation, peace, and solutions to suffering only by looking inward, not searching for outside sources to do it for us.

An easy way to say it is this: The way through something starts with what’s going on inside you.

And that’s where Saturn and Neptune in Aries come back in. Saturn in Aries may accompany trouble for the president, but with Neptune here, for the people, it brings responsible spiritual activism that starts in each of our hearts.

Be your own spiritual activist. Don’t look to the old paradigm of top-down authority to take care of us. That’s changed. We are in charge of our own lives now. We don’t need a savior.

That may not be easy to do, but isn’t that the point? Moving into 5D takes some effort, right? Years ago, I heard someone say that if you’re going to turn the Queen Mary, a massive ocean liner, you’ve got to start early and work long. In other words, when you’re going to do something really big, you have to expect it to take time. Especially when that big thing you’re doing is in 3D.

It takes time to create a new earth, but it can be done.

You can stay informed as you look at what’s going on while knowing the change we long for on the outside must start within.

And for me, that’s how you keep the trickle-down at the top from becoming a flood in your life.

Your “Stay Above the Flood” Grounding Ritual

• Find a quiet spot. Sit or stand with your feet flat on the ground.

If you’re outside, that’s even better, but it’s not required.

• Take a slow breath in through your nose… and let it out through your mouth.

Do that three times. Nothing fancy. Just settle into your body.

• Now picture this clearly:

Everything coming from the outside world—news, noise, pressure, fear is like water rising.

• Then picture yourself standing on solid ground above it.

You’re bit fighting it or drowning in it. You’re just standing steady while it moves below you.

• Say this out loud (or in your mind):

“I decide what comes into my life. I stay grounded. I respond. I don’t react.”

• Place one hand on your chest and one on your stomach.

Feel your breath moving in your body.

• Ask yourself one simple question:

“What actually needs my attention today?”

• Just for now, let the rest go.

• When you’re ready, open your eyes if they were closed, and move on with your day.

A way to quickly reconnect to this grounding ritual:

• Keep a small object nearby, a stone, a feather, or maybe a coin.

I’ll be using a rose quartz crystal shaped like a heart.

• When things feel like “too much,” hold your object and remind yourself:

“I’m still on solid ground.”
