Who Warns Us Now? The National Weather Service Is Being Silenced
The National Weather Service (NWS) is in trouble. Not because of a natural disaster, but because it’s being dismantled in slow motion. Defunded, stripped of tools like weather balloons, and now cutting back on multilingual alerts.
This would be alarming at any time. But it’s happening right before what could be one of the most dangerous storm seasons since 2011. The astrology confirms it: the systems meant to protect us are breaking down and this isn’t random. It’s a warning.
Pluto and Mercury: How Systems Go Silent
Right now, Pluto is crossing over the NWS’s Mercury, the planet of communication and warnings. This isn’t a soft influence. Pluto doesn’t simply turn the volume down. It pulls the plug.
Pluto "silences" by:
Breaking down communication infrastructure
Revealing weaknesses we’ve ignored
Creating power struggles over who gets to speak and who doesn’t
With Pluto on Mercury, it’s not just that alerts aren’t going out in other languages. It’s that the whole system of public information is being tested. Who gets warned? Who doesn’t? And who decides?
Saturn Square Saturn: A System Under Pressure
The NWS is also experiencing a rare Saturn return phase, a square between transiting Saturn and their original Saturn placement. In plain terms: the system is being held accountable.
Their Saturn in Sagittarius is about public knowledge, science, and mass communication. The current Saturn in Pisces brings emotional overwhelm and confusion. The result? A clash between what the NWS was built to do and what it’s currently able to do under financial and political pressure.
This tension is playing out clearly: fewer resources, fewer staff, and increasing risk. It’s a slow collapse happening under the radar.
The Nodal Crisis: Can They Still Fulfill Their Purpose?
The Moon’s Nodes are squaring the NWS’s Saturn too. This creates a situation where the agency is at a crossroads:
The Pisces North Node is about empathy, collective care, and trusting the unseen.
The Virgo South Node is about precision, technical skill, and keeping up with demands.
They’re being pulled in both directions, expected to protect millions with dwindling support. It’s a recipe for burnout, system strain, and missed warnings.
Uranus and Mars: The Warning Before the Storm
Finally, Uranus in Taurus is squaring the NWS’s natal Mars in Aquarius. That’s a major red flag.
Uranus = sudden change, chaos, shock.
Mars = action, readiness, defense.
When they clash, systems meant to act fast (like the NWS) get jammed, disrupted, or overwhelmed. This is the kind of astrology you don’t ignore before storm season.
What This Means for Us
The National Weather Service is not just a forecast agency. It’s a public safety institution. And the astrology is telling us what the headlines are too polite to say:
It’s being stripped down.
It’s being silenced.
And it’s happening at the worst possible time.
Astrology doesn’t cause the weather but it does show when our systems are vulnerable. And right now, the NWS is one major storm away from failing the people who need it most.
We cannot afford silence.
