Between the violent rampage at Fort Hood yesterday, and the still unfolding events in Orlando, Saturn Square Pluto has announced its imminent arrival. The glue that bonds these events together is darkness. A combination of fear and rage fuels what has happened in the last twenty-four hours, and all we can do is our own inner work;…
During a recent trip to the theater to see the exquisitely inspiring This Is It, I was a subjected to a promo for the upcoming destruction-porn flick 2012. (I am intentionally not linking to it, because I don’t want to promote this meme in the collective unconscious.) This film, opening within days of the exact Saturn/Pluto square on November 15th, stars John Cusack as an action hero in the midst of massive chaos and upheaval on planet earth. Imagine constant tsunamis, earthquakes, collapsing bridges, exploding ships, and other hysterical sequences of doom. I sometimes wonder if film studios hire astrologers, because they seem to have timed this to tap directly into the fear that is rising in all of us as a consequence of Saturn and Pluto’s upcoming clash.
Bet you’re more than ready to say goodbye already, aren’t you? Especially those of you born with Saturn in Virgo. Pull out your party hats because this little sucka is leaving on October 29th and turning out the lights on his way out. It’s now time for the Saturn In Libra folks to step up to the…
Saturn may not be going into Libra until October 29th, but we’re already getting a taste of what the next few years might be like. Libra is the sign of sweet things, including sugar. Sugar prices have been at an all time high and it looks like they’re going to stay that way. An early…
Libra is a sign long associated with justice; most think this has to do with the traditional scales that represent this balance-loving sign. But if you listen for a while to the poetry that is the voice of Dr. Cornel West, Princeton Professor, philosopher, writer, civil rights activist, speaker and self-proclaimed “blues man”, you get…
A few weeks ago we blogged about the “revolutionary” direction the country seemed headed in. The teabaggers and their lot were (and still are) ranting about god knows what, led by their Moron in Chief Glenn Beck. But thank the stars that we have Michael Moore, whose new movie Capitalism: A Love Story, tells the truth. In…
This is just a preview of coming attractions. Saturn enters Libra on October 30th, 2009. The Cosmic Taskmaster hasn’t visited this region of the zodiac since the early 1980s. Before we look forward, let’s review some of the historical events and cultural themes we experienced back then. The last Saturn in Libra era saw worldwide…
As our country commemorates the 8th anniversary of the darkness that was 9/11, Pluto, himself the prince of darkness, goes direct in Capricorn. During a week that saw President Obama heckled during a congressional address, the gap between reality and insanity grows ever wider. Glenn Beck’s “grassroots” 9/12 movement, actually sponsored by lobbyists, is populated by…
Have we learned our lessons under the tutelage of Big Daddy Saturn in the constellation of Virgo? Only time will tell. If we can pass quality, equitable health care legislation, the answer may be a resounding yes. But it’s not looking very promising, especially when those we thought were on the right side of the…
Michael Moore’s latest film is called Capitalism: A Love Story. With Pluto moving back to direct motion on September 11th, 2009, the October release will come just in time for us to properly analyze the full measure of the current moment in history. “Green shoots” or not, oligarchy must loosen its grip in the next decade, or…
