Random Sage with Maryann from Revealing Light

New Zealand and Australia lost beloved actor Sam Neill this week. At the around the same time social media blew up with the news of Senator Lindsey Graham's death. Two very different lives and two very different reactions to death. One well remembered by all; the other the subject of anger and controversy.

A series of disasterous moves since Trump's inauguration has sent US debt skyrocketing, wars & disease outbreak...and a spiralling economy. At the same time the mainstream media has been captured with very little check & balances. This is a system that can't be sustained. It's logical it will crumble.

Anti Trump podcasts now span across the left and former MAGA, as we all agree on one thing...it's time for trump to go.

In this episode I look at the continued backlash against Israel politically and by humanitarians across the world. This will not go away despite the pressure from our leaders. It can't...because we must not let it. To do so would be to lose our humanity and our civilisation.

In this episode, I take a look at the astrology transits hitting US President Trump's natal chart. Much can be explained from his astrology, considering what is being reset right now in the world, and how his actions will lead to huge geopolitical shifts and a global reordering.

Trump honed his TV skills on the reality TV show, The Apprentice and is now bringing some of that bombastic manipulation to a screen near you, daily. We are all suffering from the exhaustion this daily barrage delivers. Managing your anxiety is key. Seeing beyond the reality show is also important for your mental health. Both are possible.

Neptune moves from Pisces into Aries on March 30th 2025 beginning its 2025-2039 stay. The last time Neptune was in Aries, the US experienced a civil war. Saturn also moves into Aries on May 24th 2025 for a two and a half year journey. These planetary movements bring great change and new directions. This podcast looks at some of the major themes from these life altering and global restructuring transits.

Across the US society, many are being traumatised by the current government, from black people through to women, trans and migrant communities. Meanwhile, economic indicators continue to worsen. Fast forward to the midterms and Erika from In The Company of Cards and myself take a look at what will be a critical election for the US.

As expected, the incoming US President has already upset allies, his own MAGA movement and been at the centre of the criminal court and justice system. 2025 will not be for the fainthearted, yet within the volatility are opportunities for strength and effective local action. My book Revealing Light - How Cancer Illuminated My Divine Blueprint is on sale from 28th January 2025, and now open for preorders here

So much of our time is spent assuming the worst will happen and giving into our fears but this holiday season I will be looking for happiness in simplicity and understanding that what we fear does not necessarily come to pass. It's time to understand our power within the Collective and create the world in which we want to live.

Many of us are in a period of retreat; struggling with feelings of shock and devastation. The world is a volatile and untested place it seems. This is a time of huge change...and within that change, there are opportunities to tap into our ability to resist the turmoil and create the future we want and need. Many groups are now forming into a #resistance, resolved to act with willpower, strength and integrity. We should join that good fight when we're able.

This week's SCOTUS ruling on presidential immunity has laid bare the abuse of power of America's highest court. It follows the disunity within the Democratic Party post presidential debate, at a perilous time. However, vulnerability should create courage and unity to win against the proposed dictatorship offered by the MAGA Republican Party. Can the US Republic survive these challenges?

The overturning of the legal doctrine of Terra Nullius (the land belonged to nobody) in 1992 by Australia's High Court led to the Native Title Act (1993) which established land rights for Australia's Indigenous peoples. We could learn from that historic decision globally and, particularly, in the dispossession of Palestinian peoples' lands who are Indigenous to the Israel/West Bank/Gaza regions. We can learn from facts, not religious fundamentalism, and that is why after all the death and destruction, there is hope that the current Gaza/Israel war will ultimately lead to a two-state solution.

All things cannot be unstable forever. There is always a restructuring after chaos & destruction, and so for those who feel helpless watching current global events unfold, understand that great change is occurring and resolution & new order are the result.

With a backdrop of potent planetary conjunctions, solar flares and war on the ground, as well as an uptick in climate events, we should ask ourselves where we are placed spiritually in an era of accelerated change. Are we ascending or descending. I believe, the choice is ours individually at this time. Light or darkness?

The peaceful protests by students in the US and elsewhere across the world, against the continued murder of muslims in Gaza & the failure to negotiate hostage release, are a stark reminder that truth knows no sides and to try and suppress that truth is a dangerous moral slippery slope.

Uranus energy can deliver lightening events which bring much needed change and breakthroughs in intractable and ongoing situations. Beneficial Jupiter energy will expand what Uranus delivers. The conjunction occurs in the fixed energy of Taurus on April 20th 2024. Rather than viewing this conjunction negatively, we can expect the unpredictable that can lead, in time, to the goals and future we desire.

The Baltimore bridge tragedy is a metaphor for the imbalance that is caused by rampant materialism that knows no bounds. It is there in Israel PM Benjamin Netanyahu's indiscriminate bombing of GAZA and an unfolding genocide, along with reports of the desire for ‘ethnic cleansing’ and usurping of GAZA. It is there in Putin's lust for power and territory and his invasion of sovereign and resource rich Ukraine. How much is enough? I believe the energies are delivering consequences and this eclipse season will bring much to light.

The mainstream media in the US and Australia are covering Trump as a 'normal' presidential candidate. Of course we know through seeing the evidence, that he is not a 'normal' candidate. In fact, we've been warned repeatedly by his former Cabinet members he is a clear and present danger. His own VP whom he urged his supporters to 'hang' during the January 6th 2021 attack on the US Capital, has refused to endorse him. Yet...the media continues to cover him with credibility in their reporting. It's downright bizarre. 

A parody meme on 'Christians against satellites' has gone viral, with many finding it hard to tell now what is real and what is not on social media...that is due in part to the basis of truth in parody. There are evangelical extremists groups dedicated to halting scientific and technological progress. These Middle Ages type of superstitions remind us of the power of Pluto in Aquarius in 2024 and beyond. It's a roadmap of what needs healing in the Collective.

So much of our social media is consumed with hate. US singer and icon Taylor Swift called out hate in her iconic song...ironically she is now the subject of violent threats and vitriol because she advocates for liberal values, rights and freedoms. Feelings of hate always find a useful home in those that seek power. It's up to us to choose our politicians wisely...do we choose the haters, or those who moderate and heal divisions.

We all suffer burnout at some point...we over-extend or we simply get lost in a world that is often lost itself. We can find our compass again through replenishing our wellbeing and, in the process, rediscovering and renewing our spiritual purpose.

In butterflies we see the fragility & joy of life. The average butterfly lives for just 2 weeks, and some species 8-11 months. They remind me that life is short, precious and all the more sacred for its brevity. Butterflies have also been a symbol of hope for me, and their proliferation around me at this time, perhaps, is an indication that there can be peace in the Middle East in 2024. I hope so.

The tragedies unfolding across the world due to the utter destruction and devastation of war...religion, murder and oppression, land and imperialism...drive a new awareness among many beyond the ignorance of cultural and political agendas. I believe the horror we are witnessing is leading to a spiritual paradigm shift which will change our world's timeline better. For those who are aware, Spirit has your back.

Faith and belief, and what we believe is an individual thing, yet there are those who would drag us all in to what they believe. That's a dogma, as a spiritualist, that I reject. Will there ever be a time when we are not persecuted for what we believe and how we express that belief? My prediction is that we are moving towards a freedom to believe in our truth, not someone else's version of it.

The latest bombing of hospitals, schools and humanitarian shelters in GAZA cannot be denied nor forgotten. The truth is barbaric: doctors are operating on children without anaesthetic as Netanyahu's bombs rain down around them. Hell is GAZA. The images of the children of GAZA will haunt our collective consciousness for decades to come.

There is undeniable evidence of the Afterlife, and as a psychic/medium I do see and sense Spirit. From the orbs that show up in my videos, to the physical apparitions I see, there can be no doubt we continue on from this earthly life, to the light of a new heavenly existence.

The war in the Middle East reminds us of our complacency, that we have let old ways of responding in the world dominate and, thus, we see the same result manifesting...bloodshed, destruction and the loss of innocent lives. This podcast proposes the answer to a complex situation can be found in one word: CEASEFIRE.

Embattled PM of Israel Benjamin Netanyahu is determined to press ahead with his ground assault into GAZA while even his own citizens know it could lead to the death of the hostages. Many all around the world are calling for ceasefire and hostage negotiations. Leaders are also calling for a return to diplomacy, negotiation and peace talks. No one wins in war...we know this to be true.

Reality is changing, in part because the world has failed to find new solutions to old problems. This mirrors the transit of Pluto from Capricorn (financial systems, wealth, business) into Aquarius (what's good for the collective) in January 2024. Expect to see corruption magnified in global situations that threaten our security. Expect to see changes in leadership as the 'old guard' is replaced with younger leaders. Do not expect one solution fitting all...our new leaders are going to have to be innovative if they want to find consensus. The world is changing and perhaps we should change with it.

We should stop labelling in our politics and instead recognise that reckless 'extremism' has caused the dangerous polarisation we are seeing now in our democracies, including in the MAGA Republicans in the US & elsewhere. I predict the 'silent majority' who know that negotiation and consensus is the only way forward, and who reject 'extremism', will win the battle for our democracies in the end.

Ukraine's survival is linked to our own. Anyone who doesn't understand that basic fact, that Putin aims to reform the USSR, plays into the hands of a war criminal and murderous dictator. It also encourages other empiricists such as China to invade independent Taiwan...and where does the march of the aggressor end? It's time to recommit to a sovereign and free world and this is contingent on supporting Ukraine's survival.

Recently major media outlets in America wined and dined with criminally indicted ex president Trump's campaign, according to alternative media company Meidas Touch. Meanwhile another major media outlet NBC aired an interview with Meet the Press host Kristen Welker and the ex president who was not fact checked or challenged during the media interview. That's not how it's supposed to go, yet it is symptomatic of the dysfunctional media at this time. In the future, much will change.

When we are in harmony with the flow of life, Spirit's abundance can find us. When we pursue extremism or fundamentalism, we are blind to the looming consequences of our actions. Mormon 'Mummy blogger' Ruby Franke's indictment on child abuse charges is a case in point, as are politicians, leaders and their followers who pursue dangerous extremist paths.

Politics above family? Some, undoubtedly, do put politics first before maintaining family relationships. What they are doing in reality, is saying that what divides us is more important than what unites us. At the base of this is the driving emotional force of beliefs and values, and we don't always hold common beliefs. The question is, how do we manage this...I have a few suggestions.

It's a fortunate time for the truth. In the US we are witnessing what accountability looks like...and it's a sweet victory after a period when the moral arc teetered almost off its dial, driven to destruction by greed, power lust, ignorance and bigotry. Beware, as they say, of false Gods.

Betrayal, cruelty & misguided relationships are common to all...however there comes a point when we realise that holding onto pain robs us of happiness in the present, and future. This podcast looks at when and why we need to let go of the past. And here is the link to country and western singer, the late Slim Dusty’s beautiful ballad Looking forward, Looking back https://youtu.be/p46JjmUUv98

With the acceleration of climate change, political coups, war and much instability across the world, we could be forgiven for wondering what's next? 

Right now the Lionsgate 8/8 portal is allowing us to manifest the future we want to live. Cultivating hope helps us to have faith...and belief the best outcomes, not the worst, will manifest. Hope is an intention to head in a particular direction. What are you hoping for?

Far right extremism has been a growing and supported political movement, particularly in the US, and also embraced in some western democracies. However it's a losing trajectory as some vocal and extreme politicians are now finding out. Humanity needs the truth, and balance. We need it to survive and more...to evolve.

We all suffer with stress in our lives however wellbeing is improved when we learn how to manage our stress levels. Whether its chakra balancing, taking a mental holiday from worry or meditation, yoga or a walk in nature, we first have to be aware we actually suffering from stress. This awareness can move even the heaviest of burdens. 

Former US President and criminal defendant Donald Trump is still the frontrunner in the Republican 2024 primaries and is considered widely to be the leader of the current GOP. The question is why do people still support an attempted coup leader, proven liar and someone charged with multiple crimes under espionage laws?  

Are 'demons' and 'angels' real. It's not what you think...and yes I believe in higher energy beings (angels) and negative, lower energies however the interpretation and the 'life' you give these energies resides within yourself. 

Is this the downfall of Vladimir Putin and why did it take a murdering warlord to weaken him? For all Putin's apologists now is the time of reckoning. Russian leadership is not stable nor to be admired for its strength. It reeks of weakness & dictatorship. And what of the Russian people, the mothers, the sons...what do they want? Do they hope for leadership change or do they still fear, or admire, Putin?

The arraignment of the former US President showed us the usual parade of supporters decked in flags, big hats & vitriol. Rather than being sombre, the atmosphere was carnival-like. This period in the US history where facts & evidence has little currency and lies have value should be a warning to us all. Yet, at a higher level, the US is in the process of significant & historical reform that we will all learn from, and implement. 

We all come into this life with a divine purpose...a blueprint that we signed up for before our earthly incarnation. Right now, we could find ourselves mulling over our purpose in life, including what dreams and hopes haven't been realised. Jupiter (expansion) conjunct the North Node (actualising our divine purpose) at this time, is here to give you a push in the right direction. Watch for breakthroughs after setbacks, and step forward into your divine purpose.

To be human sometimes means failure, yet it can mean success. It almost always is challenging...asking us in those difficult circumstances to find a way forward. To be human is also a privilege...to seek and find the spark of divinity within and around us. Today, I uncover our greatness, our magic and our tenacity and I ask: Is humanity evolving?

Today I look at the tarot and why the renowned psychiatrist Carl Jung's archetypes are not that far from the imagery of the tarot's Major Arcana. I also raise the possibility of spiritual communication between the collective, where spiritual awareness can be raised through divination tools such as tarot and astrology. 

America's major television network CNN faced a barrage of criticism world wide for allowing a former president and defendant, Donald Trump, a platform on live television with an audience of his supporters and without adequate fact checking. The result...predictable. Lies, possible defamation and threats. In today's podcast I take a higher view of responsible journalism and why this matters to both sides of the political divide.
