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…
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…
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. According to Robert Paxton, there are…
More Dispatches From the Pluto in Capricorn Era: Could the Global Meltdown Spark a Great Revolution?
Just another example of life imitating astrology here (via Alternet). If you’ve been following this blog since late 2007, you know that we’ve been talking about such issues since before the economy went bust. Everyday there are new memes in the universe and on the web, ones that support our hypothesis. As America experiences its 8th…
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…
