The ugly, dark, and bitter heart of the so-called “birther” movement is a frightening thing to behold. Because what’s beneath it is pure, unbridled racism, the kind that created the segregated South, the KKK, Jim Crow, and all the other detritus of the legacy of slavery in our country. These people cannot accept that Barack…
We’ve talked about the implications of the Pluto in Capricorn era since 2008, when it began by gutting our economy and altering our cultural landscape. The important piece to remember between now and the early 2020s is that Pluto, planet of total transformation, is moving through a constellatory space it hasn’t occupied since the 1770s. That’s…
The impulse toward fear and blame of the “other” is a sure sign that Pluto in Capricorn is firmly in place. Conspiracy theory is taking over parts of our society, aided and abetted by the right wing chorus on cable news. In Toxic to Democracy: Conspiracy Theories, Demonization, & Scapegoating, Chip Berlet analyses what we’re up…
Still following the brilliant Huffpo blogger Nico Pitney, who wrote last night: 1:28 AM ET — The mourning rally. Thursday is gearing up to be a hugely significant day for the Green Uprising. Reza Aslan appeared on MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow Show tonight, and laid out the importance of what is going to happen: What’s really fascinating…
I’ve been following the tireless and brilliant Huffington Post blog tended to by one Nico Pitney all weekend. Of all the raw sources (Twitter, YouTube) I have found that Pitney’s edits are spot-on, always gripping, and full of empathy. Tonight he posted a photograph from AP of protestors during the 1979 Revolution, again evoking the wildly…
As we mentioned back in 2007, the Saturn in Virgo years promised interesting times indeed, especially for the nation of Iran. That’s because Iran’s Islamic Republic was born in 1979 — when Saturn was last in Virgo. Well, kiddies, can you figure out what that means? Iran is having its very first Saturn Return, and going through…
The “tea party” movement currently being promoted by Fox News and Co. is mildly hilarious. Rachel Maddow, The Daily Show and Keith Olbermann have skewered the Republicans for being too square to know how to use Google and thus avoid making total fools of themselves. What no one has talked about is the eerie connection it all has…
Everyone wants to be Ms. Practical Pants since Pluto entered Capricorn. It’s all about thrift and pragmatism right now. This theme also resonates with tomorrow’s full moon in Virgo, but the long term trend belongs to the Capricorn energy pervading the atmosphere. “Less is more” will be the new black for many years to come.
This Frontline special looks brilliant.
As we experience the early birth pangs of Pluto in Saturn’s restrictive territory, the message is getting through: no more excess. Sagittarius, the sign that Pluto lived in for the last decade-plus, was all about over-the-top, insane, can’t-get-enough indulgence. Sagittarius can’t stand rules or boundaries, and it doesn’t mind a private jet or two. The…
