Pluto Demoted

The energy seems loaded today. I feel an impending-doom like energy, all the while, I'm maintaining a positive and somewhat productive posture, although I am needed more sleep than usual (Saturn is conjunct my progressed Sun 1 degree Libra).

In the last throws of attaining a bachelor's liberal arts degree, I have two more papers to write, 30 more Statistics questions to answer, including making graphs and charts, as well as the writing of tri-weekly discussions with my classmates. All of this has to be done by August 12th when I leave for Vermont. Graduation is on the 18th and then I'm free to give my full attention to healing, writing, and being present to our ever-increasing purpose--to evolve!

We are not doing much evolving though according to one astrological forum I'm on. It seems we are stuck in the past as a culture (what culture?) focused on the Home of the Proud & Brave (the corrupt corporate mega-monopolies). On the forum we are currently discussing the natal map of the United States, dated July 4, 1776, 2:13AM, Philadelphia, PA, as well as looking at the current and upcoming evolutionary astrological transits which impact each of us and ou nation--with the backdrop of our discussions reflecting the misuse and abuse of global resources, as well as the issue of human behavior changing the environment and ecology of the planet on a biological level.

Even though Pluto has been demoted (according to NASA), we astrologers still heed its power and its effects (a smart thing). The US map shows Pluto in Capricorn at 27 degrees, which means we are up for a Pluto return in February of 2022. Currently Pluto is in Capricorn at 3 degrees. The last time Pluto was in Capricorn was two-hundred and forty-six years ago. Pluto deals with the removal of that which is decaying, dead, or unnecessary for survival. It is also strongly correlated to atomic power, oil, and psychological and physical death and rebirth.

That said, personally, I am becoming more and more informed as a human being (and a US Citizen) living on this planet and more interested in our collective issues, and I say that mindfully as I am clear, I vote for progressive and conscious movements to awaken here in the states, so we may build what we have never had--true responsible caring relations with the Earth, each other, and the world (our communities).

Get the latest on investing.

Tonight I turned on the TV and by happenstance watched the Tavis Smiley show with Oliver Stone. It was refreshing, honest, and right on time. Stone has made a new documentary, South of the Border and here's an article the Associated Press wrote about it.

NASA did not demote Pluto. That controversial decision was made by only four percent of the International Astronomical Union, most of whom are not planetary scientists. Their decision was immediately opposed in a formal petition signed by hundreds of professional astronomers. This debate is very much ongoing
