Hey there, curious minds and astrology enthusiasts! Are you wondering how Pope Francis’ actions align with today’s cosmic vibes? Well, let’s delve into a story that’s as intriguing as a Sagittarian’s wardrobe choices.
Since his election, Pope Francis has become a beacon of compassion in an oft tumultuous world. I mean, “Oh, how I would like a poor Church, and for the poor,” he said, revealing his heart’s true alignment with the selfless service vibe of Virgo, which governs humility and service. But here’s where it gets spicy, like a Leo’s flair for the dramatic in a room full of Scorpios:
The Pope has not only expressed his desire for a Church of humility; he’s actually walked the walk. He’s dipped his papal feet into the Aegean Sea, not for a tan but to stand in solidarity with migrants on Greek and Italian islands, making their treacherous journey from Syria, Libya, and beyond. His commitment to uplifting the marginalized rings as true as an Aquarius’ dedication to humanity.
In a move that would make Pluto—with its themes of transformation and renewal—proud Pope Francis actually helped resettle refugee families in Italy and pushed his followers to “as people of faith, we wish to join our voices to speak out on your behalf,” talking directly to those in desperate need. Now, this isn’t whimsical Pisces behavior; this is Scorpio energy, dealing with intense emotions, transformation, and regeneration.
But wait, let’s sprinkle some Gemini’s duality into this mix! While standing up for the rights of migrants and refugees, he’s also feeling the heat from his own flock—a galaxy of conservative backlash. Bishopric bruis? Yea, you heard me right. Yet, our Pope, with the resilience of a Capricorn, isn’t backing down:
When the Trump administration dove headfirst into mass deportations, Pope Francis clapped back with a February 2025 letter to U.S. bishops, urging them to reject narratives that “discriminate against and cause unnecessary suffering to our migrant and refugee brothers and sisters”. He even linked today’s global migrants to the sacred journey of Jesus, Mary, and Joseph to Egypt, adding a Cancer Moon twist to his advocacy.
And because, irony, he’s got his fair share of crtics in the U.S., where a slice of conservaties are saying he’s muddying up some doctrines, which sounds painfully like Aries infamous rush to judge.
Yet, hang in there, bores, because this Pope ain’t backing down. “For me, it’s an honor if the Americans attack me,” he chuckled in 2019, showcasing his Jupiter’s good luck and expansion even in the face of opposition. In the cosmic game of Catholic chess, he’s moving with Jupiter’s expansiveness, seeking justice and truth over dogma.
And as the curtains came down on this tale, he told Portuguese Jesuits in 2023, “Doing this, you lose the true tradition and you turn to ideologies to have support. In other words, ideologies replace faith.”
So, if you’re a Pisces like me, always swimming through the currents of change and compassion, or perhaps our fellow mutable signs, consider pondering: In what sea are we all swimming these days, and whose voices can we amplify next? If you too want to dance with the stars, to hitch your wagon to a cometary tale like that of Pope Francis, LEARN MORE.
“Oh, how I would like a poor Church, and for the poor,” he told reporters soon after his election as pope.
He visited islands off Italy and Greece where refugees were making the perilous journey from Libya, Syria and surrounding countries. He helped resettle several refugee families in Italy and encouraged other Catholics to stand up for migrants.
“As people of faith, we wish to join our voices to speak out on your behalf,” Francis said, addressing migrants. “We hope that the world will heed these scenes of tragic and indeed desperate need, and respond in a way worthy of our common humanity.”
He also spoke out against the Donald Trump administration’s mass deportation efforts in the U.S. In a letter sent to U.S. bishops in early 2025, he asked “not to give in to narratives that discriminate against and cause unnecessary suffering to our migrant and refugee brothers and sisters” while likening today’s migrants to Jesus, Mary and Joseph fleeing violence to Egypt.
As he worked to encourage Catholics’ outreach to the world, the pope also faced criticism within his own flock. In the U.S., a small wing of doctrine-minded conservatives pushed back against Francis’ welcoming brand of Catholicism, insisting that the pope’s approach to some issues ― such as distributing the Eucharist to divorced, remarried couples ― could have the effect of muddying long-standing church teachings.
Francis acknowledged his conservative opponents in 2019, saying, “For me, it’s an honor if the Americans attack me.” He lamented that people promoting schisms have allowed ideology to become “detached” from Catholic doctrine.
“Doing this, you lose the true tradition and you turn to ideologies to have support. In other words, ideologies replace faith,” Francis told Portuguese Jesuits of the U.S. Catholic Church in a private meeting in August 2023.
