Pluto in Capricorn is awakening the darkest fears in the hearts of the ignorant. Pluto, as the god of the underworld, rules death and rebirth. The “birthers” have given birth to the “deathers”, a new cult of Obama-haters spewing lies about his health care plan. Fox News and Sarah Palin and the lobbyists working for the…
Pluto was in Cancer in the 1930s, when the Great Depression was in full force and Naziism started its noxious creep through Europe. Now Pluto is halfway around the zodiac, opposite where it was in those dark years, and triggering the same energies that coursed through Hitler’s monstrous mind.

The legendary director John Hughes has died of a heart attack in the midst of his second Saturn Return today.
