Astrologers have been talking about the Uranus-Pluto square for so long that we risk forgetting to be amazed when its energies play out the way they have. The momentous uprisings and financial turbulence with which the transit expressed itself in 2011 were such exact illustrations of the planetary.. Jessica Murray on 11:17 AM | 4 comments  It was when Mars (anger, militancy) opposed Neptune (confusion, pretense) as it was turning direct, just before November’s Full Moon, that the tide began to turn.

It’s hard to believe that the Occupy Wall Street phenomenon is just over a month old. Long expected by astrologers, long awaited by progressives and long dreaded by the One Per Cent, the movement hit the ground running. It expresses the world moment so precisely that it seems to have arisen full-blown, like Athena from the head of Zeus. Jessica Murray on 4:46 PM | 10 comments
The corporate media tried to ignore the Occupy Wall Street movement. Lord knows it tried. Over the past three weeks, as protests filled the streets of New York and started springing up in cities all over the country, the TV news at first played blind, deaf and dumb.

On this tenth anniversary, I don’t want to write about 9/11. I’ve written elsewhere about the implausibility of the official World Trade Center narrative, as have many other astrologers (see especially the blogs of Eric Francis), and the explosive transits under which it took place (Rick Tarnas has an excellent monograph on the chart). It was the first Big Lie of the 21st century, and has amassed so much refutation that a cultural movement arose to hold it. Jessica Murray on 7:46 PM | 6 comments

I’m feeling ambivalent about irony. Certainly I’m grateful to it for providing me with some of the best laughs I get these days; mostly from British humorists, who are masters of the form. And ironic prose is often challengingly amusing, offering a showcase for a kind of chilly cleverness. It must say something about our society that the use of irony has become so all-pervasive. Why do we rely on it so much in writing? And why do we frame so much of what we say with finger quotes? Jessica Murray on 10:29 AM | 17 comments
Glimpsed sneaking away from the mayhem: none other than Wall Street’s Goldman Sachs, who apparently helped Greece to mask its debt crisis with the same slimy credit-swapping tricks that trashed the world economy three years ago. I swear, the snarkiest ironist could not have made this up. (I’m obliged to reader Preston for turning me on to an excellent article by Michael Hudson on the European crisis, epitomized right now by Greece but of worldwide relevance.)

This month’s Skywatch discusses the series of squares taking place from Neptune in Pisces, the Great Dissembler. I thought of this ingress last weekend when I heard about the yogi Swami Ramdev, whose protest against corruption in government took a Neptunian turn. Accosted by the police during his hunger strike, the yogi fled into the crowd disguised as an old woman, covering his black beard with a white shawl. Jessica Murray on 7:22 PM | 6 comments
President Obama claims that “justice was done;” seeming to gloss over the associations the word justice has with charges, public trials, evidence and so on. Does it matter, if we flout international laws by sending killers to off people on foreign soil? Jessica Murray on 7:39 PM | 6 comments |

Pluto is slowing down for its station 
As the solar Eclipse of July 1st nips at our heels, Greece is in flames. The cradle of Western civilization is exploding with the cardinal Cross.
Eclipse season began with the New Moon of June first.
I do not have the stars-and-stripes flapping in the breeze this Spring evening. I don’t have my “We’re Number One” teeshirt on. I’m not giddy with jubilation about my country shooting Osama bin Laden in the face.
