The comparison to Caligula is spot on. All Roman emperor's relied on the complicity and support of the army, specifically the Praetorian Guard. One hopes that the military chiefs present will be alarmed by DJT enough to finally take action.

For those who are not familiar with Caligula's demise, he had alienated himself from the Senate and lost support of the Praetorian Guard. He was attending a performance and was headed back to the palace via a passageway when he was assassinated. You can watch a dramatization of this on Episode 10 of the excellent BBC series "I, Claudius".

Not to be coy, but the Romans regularly consulted the Heavens for omens...

It was like an invitation, threat, and prompting all at the same time. Nightmarish.

I was born exactly 4 months before Whiskeybreath, also with Sag rising. Neptune is tighter to my ascendant than with his (2 deg orb). At first when watching this, I thought, oh shit. Very interesting analysis since our charts are so similar. I'd like to think of myself on the higher end of Sag rising conjunct Neptune with lots of my interests being in otherworldly/metaphysical things. :)

It’s all so dark. Trying to keep my audience hopeful but it’s all exhausting. Thanks for diving into this darkness 🫤

Remember Leonard Cohen’s last album that he recorded during Trump’s first term? It was titled: You Want it Darker.

Oh man. Apparently 48% of voters in the last election were fans. Let’s chat about doing another collaboration in Oct or Nov - maybe we can have a Thanksgiving livestream where we drink wine, break bread and comment on the dog show. I need something to look forward to.

Frederick, your analysis is OUTSTANDING. Terrifying also. Comments on a dog show sounds really good about now……
