2012

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.
