THE PROSTITUTES OF PENNSYLVANIA AVENUE

We don’t need the current impeachment inquiry to show the corruption and idiotic malfeasance of this administration. From Day 1, Trump was abusing his powers of office. But of course, this could not happen without fellow criminals and enablers. Scorpio is the archetype of prostitution or selling one’s soul for money or power and during Mercury retrograde we get to revisit the players in this mortifying and sickening saga of American enterprise.

Hello, welcome to Metaphysical Correspondent, the show that deals with current events and societal change from a metaphysical perspective. I’m Patrice Kamins.

Continuing with the Scorpio archetype of last week, those who can be bought WILL be bought and nowhere is this more apparent than in the current Trump crime syndicate. According to the Cambridge dictionary, one definition of prostitute is “to use yourself or your abilities or beliefs in a way that does not deserve respect, especially in order to get money.” This is a rather mild definition of what is a much more insidious problem in our government and the GOP in particular.

With the wide assortment of disreputable players, everyone’s justification is different. For Catholic dominionists such as William Barr, Mike Pompeo and Mike Pence, their motivation is that of establishing a fascist christian state and so heathens such as Trump are to be used in the process. The reckless narcissist makes the job of deconstructing the government easier so rational people no longer remain or seek public service or government jobs. These three are the most dangerous, not only because of their high positions, but also because they have no allegiance to a United States of America, but rather a fascist white kingdom of god and money.

For power mongers and those who have bent over for Trump while ransacking the country, they are part of a larger prostitution ring that involves wealthy donors, lobbyists, multinational corporations and nefarious international crime organizations. Mitch McConnell, Rudy Giuliani, most GOP congressmen and women, Heritage foundation backed judges, cabinet members are included in this bag of despicables. They all deserve a personal hell (even tho with souls like these, they are already living there).

Your international low level criminals and operators include Paul Manafort and Roger Stone. They were easy to pick off as their motives were so cartoonishly brazen in their collusion with oligarchs and dictators of the darkest ill repute.

There are many media prostitutes as well. Surrogates for Trump and the GOP abound. (or even for the DNC for that matter). Paid to promote lies, uphold the falsehoods, dissemble for their paychecks. Obvious ones are Kelly Anne Conway and Shawn Hannity and the Fox horror fantasy entertainment organization fall into this category but you can also bring in the rabid bulldogs of Jim Jordan, Matt Gaetz and other predatory high school congressional bullies and assorted idiots.

Then you get the nihilist destroyers who just like breaking things like Steve Bannon and sociopath Steven Miller who exploit hatred, mental illness and emotionally disabled people (Trump, Trump voters and right wing fascists abroad) for their own sick plays at Game of Thrones.

Lowest level and falling off the decaying shrub fruit are Ivanka, Jared and the trump sons- all cut from the same damaged morally bankrupt fathers. How could they know any better if never let out of the bubble of ignorant privilege?

All of these human moral failures swirl like detritus around the enormous drainhole of a grifter, con man whose hunger for money and affirmation know no bounds. As Jonathan Chait explained in a recent New York Magazine article, Trump believes in corruption at an almost ideological level. It is a reason for being. And all of the above individuals were already operating from a lack of integrity to put it lightly, so once the sweet poison entered their systems, they were hooked.

Now a Mercury retrograde doesn’t pack that much power (except for the disastrous stolen Bush/Gore election in 2000, occurring during a Mercury retrograde), — What would our country look like now if the proper results had been honored? Yet, in its small way, the current retro in Scorpio (10/31/19–11/20/19) can perhaps brings more snakes out of hiding. Scorpio is the underworld and secrets and while it’s transit time is a short three weeks, hopefully more misdeeds will come to the surface.

Financial malfeasance, shady business deals, sexual exploits (this would have been a great time to try Jeffrey Epstein, had he not been murdered as has been confirmed in a recent autopsy, Weinstein-esque dealings, spies, traitors, informants, can come to light.

(Now of course, in our topsy turvy world, the perpetrators are the ones crying traitor and scumbag, but Scorpio is also about the shadow and projection.

Can we not now all agree that we have a psychologically bankrupt and diseased man in the white house? And with his propensity to not use protection during sex, never mind the love children, what about the STD’s that have contributed to his mental decline? Mad genius NOT aside, the syphillitic or gonorreah miasm is alive and well with this presidency. (This will have to be another episode)

And this is fanciful thinking, but can we not dream of Trump losing the election next year same Scorpio time? And could that actually be due to the impeachment proceedings starting now?

Mercury in general is about the evolution in consciousness and while we may take side trips into insanity as a nation, after rotting in the dark for three years, would we not want to see the light of day again?

And if we eliminate the need for corporate money, could we not become more independently engaged citizens where our vote might actually count for something?

How can we free ourselves from the shackles of economic dependency, societal approval, mob thinking to achieve more self sovereignty?
Not in the nationalistic fascistic kind which defaces and annihilates the individual, but rather the independence of thought and action (within prescribed limits) that our constitution promised?

Sadly, Scorpio is about possession and unfortunately we also note this in the cult of personality of a bottomless vacuum of a person. It is horrifying to think that a percentage of the country still does not see any presidential faults or wrongdoing. These people have literally lost their minds in an attempt to block out reality and fill it with a negative fantasy return to the darker ages of American history.

Scorpio/Pluto will continue to reveal the tragic and diseased underbelly of our society but also the addictive ties that bind us. (And Scorpio is embedded in the Pluto in Capricorn cycle of deconstructing the patriarchy). What is the price of a relationship or job? What is the cost of maintaining a position of truth? How much does our engagement with social media help or hinder our development and mental health?

We can take this opportunity to see the insidious nature of our dependencies, with the lower consciousness motivation of “gaming the system” or getting away with murder” and see that in truth, we are only discoloring our consciences and destroying the integrity of our hearts and minds with real world consequences on the social and physical planes.

Face the darkness as we now as a nation must face our shadow. Let the secrets come tumbling out, they will free us. Then we can flush out the toxins that have turned our nation into a walking zombie of its original, if flawed, promise.

In the future, we will look back on Trump and his cohorts with incredulity and pity, wondering why they would have sold and soiled their souls for a mere bag of paper money or zeros in a bank account. Their devolved behavior will be ridiculed and raised up as an example of primitive predatorial times now long extinct.

Pluto and Scorpio means we can come back from the dead — but only if purged and renewed. As Uranus in Taurus will be impelling us all to disengage from the importance or distorted role that money plays in our lives, we can also discover new ways of partnering and merging to build a healthier society where prostitution is the exception in Washington and not the norm.
