TRUMP:The Regime in Retrograde
FAILED AND OVERTURNED ACTIONS IN TRUMP’S SECOND TERM & THE STARS THAT WATCHED
The Regime in Retrograde
How the stars and the courts are dismantling Trump’s second term in real time
Pluto in retrograde is unmasking the machinery of false power, dragging every hidden fracture of empire into the open. Neptune in Aries isn’t offering dreams this time…It’s dissolving illusions with fire. Together, these transits are stripping Trump’s second term down to its hollow frame. Every attempt at dominance has met resistance from two fronts: one celestial, one judicial.
The courts reflect the sky. Executive orders collapse. The federal workforce he tried to decimate is being legally rebuilt beneath him. Major policies are either stalled, reversed, or ruled unlawful. What he once wielded as strength has become lost inertia. What was meant to be his triumphant return is now unraveling in slow motion.
And so, he moves west. The occupation of Los Angeles is not a strategy. It is theater. A last-ditch attempt to appear victorious in a second term where almost nothing has worked. The stars are not aligned. The courts are not cooperating. The deeper truth: this is not a presidency advancing its agenda. This is a siege disguised as governance.
At the end of this article, you’ll find a full list of major 2025 astrological transits so far with exact dates and meanings. You can cross-reference those with the legal and political reversals below to witness how the sky and the state mirror one another in real time.
As Above, So Below…
FAILED AND OVERTURNED ACTIONS IN TRUMP’S SECOND TERM (JAN-Present)
1. Federal Grant Freeze Overturned
(Signed Jan 27, 2025 blocked by courts Jan 28 & Feb 3 & Mar 6, 2025)
An executive order halting over 2,600 federal grants was blocked by a federal judge. Funding was fully restored.
2. Public Health and Science Layoffs Halted
(Layoff orders Feb 10; injunctions issued Feb–Mar 2025)
Mass layoffs at the CDC, NIH, NSF, and NOAA were challenged in court. Judges issued injunctions. Many staff have been reinstated or retained.
3. Birthright Citizenship Order Blocked
(EO 14160 signed Jan 20, 2025; injunctions immediately; SCOTUS decline May 2025)
EO 14160 to revoke birthright citizenship faced immediate injunctions. The Supreme Court refused to override those blocks. The order remains unenforceable.
4. Tariff Escalation Scaled Back
(Emergency tariffs issued Mar 2025; rollback began late May 2025)
Emergency tariffs triggered market instability. Under pressure, the administration reduced the hikes and paused additional ones.
5. Militarized Border Crackdown Delayed
(Emergency declared Feb 2025; restraining orders issued Mar–Apr 2025)
Troop deployments and expanded ICE powers were challenged in court. Multiple federal judges issued restraining orders. Implementation has stalled.
6. Alien Enemies Act Deportations Delayed
(Deportation order Apr 2025; SCOTUS denied emergency enforcement Apr 2025)
Mass deportations under a revival of the Alien Enemies Act were denied by the Supreme Court due to procedural failures. No removals permitted at this time.
7. Independent Agency Firings Not Upheld
(Firing attempts Apr 2025; SCOTUS issued an emergency stay Apr 8, 2025)
Efforts to remove independent regulators without cause resulted only in a temporary stay. The Supreme Court has not upheld the legality of the firings.
8. Wrongful Deportation Reversed by Supreme Court
(Decision May 2025)
The Court ordered the return of a deported man whose removal violated judicial orders, reinforcing constitutional limits on executive immigration powers.
9. DOGE Firing Spree Overturned
(Mass firings Feb–May 2025; court-ordered rehiring began April; widespread rehiring by June 2025)
Under the Department of Government Efficiency, Trump attempted to fire over 130,000 federal employees. Courts ruled the mass firings unlawful. Tens of thousands are being rehired. Agencies like the FDA, IRS, HUD, and State are reinstating staff out of both legal obligation and necessity.
10. Education Department Layoffs Reversed
(Layoffs Mar 2025; court-mandated rehiring order Apr 2025; SCOTUS petition filed Jun 6, 2025)
Approximately 1,400 workers were laid off. A federal judge ordered their return. Appeals are pending, but reinstatements have already begun.
11. Inspectors General Purge Under Legal Challenge
(Fired Feb 2025; lawsuits filed Feb–Mar 2025)
Seventeen IGs were removed in a single sweep. Legal suits argue these firings violate federal oversight law. Many replacements have stalled or been reversed.
12. Sovereign Wealth Fund Proposal Dead
(Announced Mar 2025; defunct by May 2025)
Proposed without budget surplus or congressional support, the sovereign wealth fund initiative has gone nowhere and been abandoned.
13. Infrastructure Cuts Reversed by Congress
(Funding cuts Mar 2025; restored Apr 2025)
Trump’s attempt to cancel major transportation projects was overridden by bipartisan congressional action. Funding was restored.
14. Climate Deregulation Tied Up in Court
(Paris exit announced Jan 2025; lawsuits filed Feb–May 2025)
Re-exiting the Paris Agreement and dismantling climate councils triggered multiple lawsuits. Several states and NGOs have formed independent climate alliances in defiance.
15. Medicare Drug Price Negotiation Reversal in Limbo
(Rollback Mar 2025; lawsuits ongoing Mar–Jun 2025)
Trump’s rollback of Medicare negotiation rights is under litigation. Several states have blocked implementation, pending final court rulings.
ADDITIONAL FAILURES AND PUBLIC REJECTIONS
16. Pam Bondi’s Retaliation Orders Blocked
(Issued Jan 2025; court struck them down Feb 2025)
As Attorney General, Bondi tried to punish law firms and attorneys linked to lawsuits against the administration. A federal court ruled key portions of her executive retaliation plan unconstitutional.
17. Florida Bar Investigating Pam Bondi
(Ethics complaint filed Jun 5, 2025)
The Florida Bar has opened a formal investigation into Bondi’s conduct, focusing on allegations of political retribution and unethical interference in active legal proceedings.
18. Brad Bondi Routed in Legal Election
(D.C. Bar election May 2025)
Pam Bondi’s brother, running as a Trump-aligned candidate for president of the D.C. Bar, received only 9% of the vote. An overwhelming professional rebuke to regime-aligned politicization of law.
19. RFK Jr.’s Collapse as Health Secretary
(Series of actions Feb–Jun 2025)
(Feb 18) He oversaw the DOGE-backed layoff of over 20,000 public health workers. Courts later forced the reinstatement of more than 2,000 due to error and operational collapse.
His restructuring of HHS dismantled critical infrastructure like NIH, CDC, and ACL, triggering lawsuits and mass resignations.
(Mar 27) “Make America Healthy Again” report included fabricated studies and mischaracterized data, leading to public embarrassment and backpedaling from the White House.
(June 9) He fired the entire CDC vaccine advisory board. Public health experts and lawmakers accused him of politicizing science and risking national health security.
(May 14) A congressional hearing, he admitted he shouldn’t be giving medical advice. Lawmakers called him unfit and dangerous, with bipartisan calls for his removal.
This is no longer a functioning administration. Honestly, I don’t think it ever was. It is a series of stalled operations dressed as policy. Trump’s second term is failing not because of partisan resistance, but because the legal system, professional institutions, and the laws of inertia are all resisting collapse. The stars are reflecting this disintegration. Pluto retrograde breaks what hides its rot. Neptune in Aries sets fire to illusions of strength. Together, they are cutting the thread on his every move.
Pam Bondi, once the sharp-tongued enforcer of regime loyalty, is now under formal investigation. Her brother has been publicly rejected by his peers. RFK Jr., placed at the heart of the nation’s health system, has been exposed HIMSELF as both incompetent and destabilizing.
And the show in Los Angeles. It is a last-ditch hallucination of power, meant to distract from a presidency that cannot enact, cannot build, and cannot win in the long game. It’s spectacle born of desperation. And the courts, the people, and the cosmos have all begun to say no.
THE CORE FAILURE: HUMAN LIFE IS EXPENDABLE TO THIS REGIME
Donald Trump’s second term is a study in death-dealing bureaucracy. While his executive orders are repeatedly overturned, and while institutions and private property enjoy the full armor of legal protection, human life remains disposable. That is the true crisis. That is the rot no court ruling can reverse.
Under the guise of "efficiency," the regime has gutted public health. It has tried to purge scientists, silence data, deport immigrants en masse, and remove constitutional protections from anyone deemed inconvenient. Behind every failed action listed above is a real loss: a worker fired, a family detained, a patient left without care, a life disrupted or destroyed in the name of authoritarian spectacle.
The truth is that Trump is not the disease. He is a symptom. He is what happens when a nation built on extraction and exclusion continues to rot from the inside out. His reign reveals not only his cruelty, but also the indifference embedded in the systems that came long before him. Systems that still refuse to value human life over capital, compliance, or control.
We cannot allow this to continue. Not through Trump. Not through his heirs. Not ever again. The line must be drawn…not to protect property, not to preserve order, but to defend the sacred and irreplaceable value of a human life.

CHAOS WITCH NOTES
They want you to believe they're in control. That their decrees shape the world. That their cruelty is inevitable, mathematical, lawful. But look closer…
…this regime is flailing.
It swings wildly, issues threats it cannot enforce, signs orders that collapse under the weight of their own illegality.
I smell desperation dressed in suits and soaked in fossil fuel bribes.
There is no god-king on a throne just a bloated machine leaking wires and smoke, confused that we no longer kneel.
And still, we are here. Still, we choose each other. While they abandon the sick and fire the healers, we bring soup. We build mutual aid webs from air and teeth. We cast protection over clinics and courtrooms. We sing at protests. We show up.
This moment IS. NOT. HOPELESS.
It IS volatile.
And volatility is a gift to the ones who know how to move with storm logic. We don’t need their permission to care for one another. We never did. Our presence, our persistence, our protection of each other…these are not small acts. They are spells of refusal. They are the answer. They are the way forward.
Resist. Remember. Remain human.
And never let them convince you that your love is weaker than their power.
It isn’t. It never was.
Stay Stellar-

Speaking of caring for one another, it made me think of how the administration had left these guard troops unhoused and without food, etc… Wouldn't it be cool if they were brought home cooked meals by Angeleno’s? Just a thought to shift the optics:) Love your posts by the way; they breathe air into my often battered soul!!
"If you ask me, the light's winning." --Final Line in True Detective, Season 1
So many keep trying to say someone evil behind the scenes is profiting from all this. That this is a well-oiled plan we're too stupid to see. That we're just falling into an abyss where there is no hope.
I suppose that's easier than facing what you just said, Grey. That TACO is indeed a mere symptom of a deeper ill. That when he goes, a lot of illusions are going with it. We shall build on their bones.
