Saturn in Libra Demographic Angst! 08/07/2011
I have had the time finally to start my large writing enterprise, Astrological Demography, while on assignment to Danville Virginia, as a traveling EEG consultant. It is a joy to actually have time to start at te beginning and feel like I could continue writing for weeks without hitch or interuption. That was not to be. In the middle of my first rush, and blush of writing, I ran into an article of Michael Moore's on the state of the economy now, and the date it started to go down hill. This of course, intrigued me, then when I saw his date, almost paralyzed me. August 5th, 1981. The date that Ronald Reagan fired the Patco air traffic controllers! I remember that summer all too well. I was on my Saturn return in Libra, I had married a beautiful but insecure and Martian 4 planets in Aries woman, and my reality was crumbling before me. But I did not project that my struggles might mirror social change at the time. Yet it was there, in the killing of John Lennon the previous fall, and the opposition of Mars, Sun, Venus in Aries opposite the major conjunction in Libra, of Jupiter, Saturn and Pluto by sign in Libra, on April 4th, around when Reagan was shot. By August 5th, the moon was in Libra, signaling to any astrologer, a preponderance of absolute fairness in the process of change. This is, on the surface, exactly not what happened. The AFL-CIO recommended that the rest of the unions cross the pickett lines, and some union members replaced the controllers, and Reagan won. Out of that victory, Moore surmises, (I am inclined to think correctly), that the right wing was emboldened to push their boy toward more sucesses, including the deregulation of the S&Ls. (Even as he began to show the faintest beginning signs of dementia). So is Pluto Saturn Jupiter Moon in Libra a sign of ultimate fairness? Or unfairness, as Pluto Saturn would soon pre-curse? Consumate unfairness, in fact, with Pluto? As I have great faith in Libra, and Michaels insight has challengeged me greatly, early in a first rush of writing. So I have decided to make this date, and the previous and consequent Saturn returns in Libra, my dialectical method to research and hopefully prove that Saturn in Libra indeed: Not at first, but eventually, brings about a fair and balanced growth in society, and the person's perception of that social equity. We do not see that now, and America's Saturn is in Libra, as is mine, as it is at this writing, as we see the Middle East struggle for that same equity, and Europeans struggle for that social financial equity. It did in this country, but took 80 some years to manifest, as in the Emancipation Proclamation fulfilling the Declaration of Independence (Saturn in Libra in 186) I am praying that, as I write this projection of the past , the present and hopefully demographic trends in the future, tha the trends over the centuries do make astrological sense. If not, I take comfort in Joeseph Priestly's work, always based not on scientific proclamation(or in my case, Astrological proclaimation), but on the bedrock of previous social and astrological growth that, in his words, Indeed,pushes the mountain up with the thinkers, as opposed to climbing the mountain (paraphrased). I do promise to report accuratelyJ Alan CommentsLeave a Reply |
