Episode #10: A Conversation on Trump, Netanyahu and the future of US and Isarel with Guest Dorje Kirsten

Episode #12: The Summer of 2026, a conversation with Astrologer Elisabeth Grace of WHYNOWNEWS

This conversation started with a flat tire, because apparently the universe enjoys opening political astrology episodes with slapstick symbolism. Broom was supposed to sit down with astrologer Elizabeth Grace for a discussion about the Summer of 2026 in the United States, and right on cue, the day delivered a literal rubber-meets-road omen. Broom got stuck at the tire shop. EG’s astrology software chose violence. Mercury retrograde was hovering in the background like a messy intern with access to the printer. But EG pointed out that the deeper signature was not just Mercury. The Moon at the end of Scorpio was opposing Mars in Taurus: fixed signs, fixed problems, fixed objects, fixed tires. Astrology said: brick wall. Life said: Les Schwab. And that really became the thesis of the episode. The point is not to panic every time the sky gets spicy. The point is to understand the weather of the moment so you can move through it without acting like the Titanic saw the iceberg and said, “Interesting aesthetic choice.” EG’s view of astrology is not fortune-cookie nonsense. It is pattern recognition. It is timing. It is reading the symbolic architecture behind what looks like random chaos. From there, we moved into the larger question: what the hell is coming in the Summer of 2026? And EG did not hand us a fluffy beach forecast. Mars, Uranus, eclipses, Jupiter, and Gemini all point to a season of disruption, acceleration, and narrative warfare. Not just “things explode,” although Mars-Uranus can absolutely bring that energy. The deeper story is that words, information, media, censorship, defamation, First Amendment battles, AI, data, and the control of the public narrative become the real battlefield. This is where the conversation gets especially important. We are no longer simply living in an earth-power era where the person who digs up the most oil, gold, or land wins. We are moving deeper into an air-power era, where whoever controls information controls reality. The empire is no longer just holding a sword; it is holding a microphone, a server farm, and a terms-of-service agreement. Cute little apocalypse, honestly. Then came the Trump-Vance-Nixon portion of the program, because apparently history has decided to stop rhyming and start plagiarizing itself. Broom brought up the Nixon parallels, EG discussed the brutality signatures around Nixon, Project 2025 figures, and the 2025 inauguration chart, and the conversation turned toward the possibility that Trump’s undoing comes not from his enemies, but from his own party. Broom’s Lenormand reading had already pointed to “the dogs of his own house,” and EG made the practical point: if his party controls the machinery, then his party is the machinery that would have to move against him. The most important takeaway, though, is that this is not a “wait for Trump to leave and then brunch returns” situation. No ma’am. The rot is structural. The work continues after the spectacle exits. The episode ends with a reminder that the fight ahead is not just electoral—it is cultural, informational, generational, and spiritual. Back up your computers. Watch the headlines. Watch the symbols. Watch who is trying to control the story. And above all, do not confuse a flat tire with the end of the road. Sometimes it is just the universe saying: pull over, look closer, and read the damn pattern. This is a public episode.

Episode #11: The Tradwife Spell: How Christian Nationalism Rebranded Female Submission as Aesthetic Content

The tradwife movement is no longer just a woman in a floral dress baking sourdough under suspiciously professional lighting. It has become something much darker: a political spell disguised as domestic softness. What began as cottagecore cosplay has mutated into Christian nationalist propaganda, where female submission is rebranded as holiness, financial dependence is sold as peace, and giving up political power is framed as obedience to God. RESTACK and SHARE The recent TPUSA women’s conference made the mask slip. When conservative Christian women begin flirting with the idea that women should give up their right to vote because women tend to vote too liberally, we are no longer talking about homemaking. We are talking about democratic self-erasure with a Bible verse slapped on top like a clearance sticker. This is why the witch has always terrified patriarchal religion. The witch is not evil. The witch is the woman who belongs to herself. She is the woman who reads the signs, owns her body, keeps her money, casts her vote, names her rage, and refuses to let a husband, pastor, or political movement interpret her destiny for her. Christianity labeled her dangerous because women’s autonomy has always been dangerous to systems that require female obedience to survive. And in 2026, this entire tradwife fantasy may become a political boomerang. You cannot sell women a one-income household dream in an economy where groceries, rent, healthcare, childcare, and energy costs are eating families alive. You cannot tell women to leave the workforce while offering them no paid leave, no affordable childcare, no healthcare safety net, and no financial protection if the “provider” loses his job, leaves, cheats, abuses, or simply decides the money is his because he earned it. The tradwife influencers never show that part. They show the bread, not the bank account. They show the baby, not the postpartum bill. They show submission as romance, but never the woman asking for grocery money from a man who has learned that being the provider makes him the gatekeeper. So no, this is not harmless content. It is not just “let women choose.” It is a movement using some women’s choices to normalize the removal of choice from everyone else. And if calling that out makes us witches, feminists, Jezebels, or women of the world, then pass me the broom. The witch votes. The witch works. The witch mothers if she wants. The witch marries if she wants. The witch leaves if she must. The witch bakes bread and reads contracts. The witch lights candles and checks voter registration. We have an election cycle to haunt.

Episode #10: A Conversation on Trump, Netanyahu and the future of US and Isarel with Guest Dorje Kirsten

In this Broom Closet Briefing live conversation, I sit down with political and mundane astrologer Dorje Kirsten of Heart Astrology for a deep, fiery, and very timely look at Trump, Netanyahu, and the future of the United States and Israel. We begin with Trump’s natal chart, his eclipse birth, his Mars rising, and the infamous Regulus warning: success can be enormous, but revenge is the poison that collapses the throne. Dorje breaks down why Trump has been able to survive politically for so long, why his “luck” may not be endless, and why his current revenge tour may be exactly the thing that begins to unravel him. We also discuss the growing signs around Trump’s health, the Walter Reed visit, the canceled Camp David meeting, and the possibility that the public image being presented is not matching what is happening behind the curtain. Dorje points to major astrological pressure points around late August and late October into November, while I connect those themes to my own Tarot and Lenormand readings that have repeatedly shown medical crisis, hidden intervention, and a leader being propped up past his natural expiration date. Modern medicine, unfortunately, remains the villainous side character keeping the zombie walking. From there, we move into the chart of the United States itself and the repeating Civil War pattern now showing up through courts, redistricting, voting rights, and institutional sabotage. We talk about why the country may already be in a modern civil war — not with muskets and uniforms, but through maps, courts, media, and the legal machinery of democracy. The people, however, are not passive in this chart. The astrology points toward public mobilization, mass turnout, and the necessity of civic pressure, especially as we move toward the midterms. We also dig into MAGA as a hybrid between a cult of personality and a cult of movement, and why it must be dismantled before it mutates into something more durable. The answer is not despair. The answer is education, turnout, pressure, and refusing to let authoritarian theater become national religion. Then we turn to Netanyahu and Israel. Dorje looks at Netanyahu’s chart, his connection to Trump, and the warlike Mars signatures linking Trump, Netanyahu, and the chart of Israel itself. We discuss Netanyahu’s fragile coalition, the upcoming election, the exhaustion of the Israeli public, and whether the war project is reaching its limit. Dorje points to major signs that the war cycle is losing power, while I connect that to my own readings showing Netanyahu trapped, restrained, and increasingly unable to control the consequences of his choices. This conversation also explores the deeper spiritual and karmic question of Israel’s chart: whether Israel can move away from the Scorpio South Node pattern of war, trauma, and self-wounding, and toward its Taurus North Node path of peace, stewardship, and sacred responsibility. We do not pretend this transformation happens overnight. But we do look at the astrology suggesting that the old war machine is running out of road. This is a conversation about collapsing strongmen, karmic backlash, political astrology, Tarot confirmation, authoritarian decline, public awakening, and the uncomfortable truth that history often turns before the official narrative admits it. The empire is not as stable as it looks. The strongmen are not as strong as they perform. And the people are not spectators. They are the transit. This is a public episode.

Episode # 9: The Matchstick Economy and Why This Doesn’t Look Like Collapse — It Looks Like a Legitimacy Crisis

In this episode of The Broom Closet Briefing, we are talking about the economy not as a sterile chart, not as a cable-news stock ticker, and definitely not as some smug economist’s quarterly hallucination, but as a pressure system moving through daily life. Gas prices, oil anxiety, shipping routes, grocery costs, corporate greed, geopolitical escalation, and voter rage are not separate stories. They are one story wearing different outfits. This episode is based on recent economy readings I did, but I am not walking through the cards themselves. Instead, we are looking at the broader archetypal pattern they revealed: a nation under strain, institutions performing stability, corporations preparing to pass the bill downstairs, and ordinary people beginning to realize that “temporary disruption” is often just elite-speak for “you are about to pay for this.” And historically, when nations enter this kind of economic squeeze, the danger is not always instant collapse. Sometimes it is worse than that. Sometimes it is a legitimacy crisis. Sometimes the system keeps running, but the public stops believing in the people operating it. So no, this is not Mad Max at Costco. This is more subtle, more corrosive, and politically far more dangerous. This is the matchstick economy: a room full of dry tinder, old lies, leaking gas, and very confident people playing with fire while insisting they have a plan. The economy is talking. The question is whether anyone in power is listening before the match hits the floor. Readings discussed or referenced here in this episode: This is a public episode.

Episode #8: Uranus in Gemini and our next 7 years of Revolution

In this episode of Broom and Grey, we step straight into the electric storm of Uranus in Gemini, because apparently the universe looked at the timeline and said, “You know what this needs? More chaos, more information warfare, more revolutions of thought, and maybe a little nervous-system jazz hands.” Very generous. Very subtle. Very Uranus. Over the next seven years, Uranus moving through Gemini is not just going to rearrange the furniture. It is going to rip the wallpaper off the walls, expose the wiring, and ask why everyone has been pretending the house was structurally sound. Gemini rules communication, media, language, networks, transportation, propaganda, education, messaging, and the way ideas spread through the collective bloodstream. Uranus does not enter that space politely. Uranus does not knock. Uranus kicks the door open wearing silver boots and announces that the old story is dead. This is the transit of narrative collapse and narrative warfare. It is the era where information becomes the battlefield, speech becomes spellwork, media becomes weaponized, and the people finally begin to understand that whoever controls the story has been controlling the cage. But Gemini is slippery. Gemini is dual. Gemini is the trickster with two phones, three burner accounts, and a group chat full of receipts. So this transit will not give us one clean revolution. It will give us many. Political revolutions, technological revolutions, media revolutions, spiritual revolutions, and personal revolutions in the way we think, speak, connect, and refuse to be programmed like obedient little appliances. And yes, we get into why this transit has historically shown up during moments when the country’s nervous system starts sparking like an overloaded outlet. The Civil War era had Uranus in Gemini. The last time Uranus moved through Gemini, the world was dealing with massive shifts in communication, war, technology, and social order. Now here we are again, except this time the printing press has become the algorithm, the town square has become the feed, and every person with a phone is both witness and broadcaster. History is not repeating exactly, because she has better lighting now, but she is absolutely rhyming with a megaphone. This episode is about what happens when the collective mind wakes up and realizes it has been living inside someone else’s script. It is about the next seven years of disruption, exposure, reinvention, rebellion, and the strange, glittering madness of watching old institutions try to survive in a world where the message moves faster than the monarchy, the party, the billionaire, or the regime can control. Uranus in Gemini is not here to make things comfortable. It is here to make things undeniable. And frankly, comfort was never the revolution’s strongest outfit anyway.
