America’s Identity Crisis
and
Misplaced Rage

(Keep in mind that all of these themes pertain to your personal life too.)

Mars is the agitator. From August 3rd through the 11th, it will oppose Pluto and stir up the great triangle (T-square) you see above. This is why things are so severe on an international, national, local and personal level. (Add to it the fact that Mercury goes retrograde August 2nd and we’re in for lots of fun.)

There’s a real good part to this too. Let me see if I can explain.

This on-going T-square of Saturn opposite Uranus forming a right angle to Pluto has been what has been causing the great tension the past 3 years, besides the simple fact that Pluto has been in Capricorn (making us pay for past waste and flippancy) since 2008 until 2023. Consider the fact that in the USA’s birth chart, Venus (monetary systems) is at 2° Cancer. Pluto has been directly opposite it as it bombards Venus, while Uranus has been squaring it. That’s why the global and US financial systems are tilting. New solutions must be found (Uranus) and many are hanging on to the old (Saturn), which is exactly what you do not do with Uranus.

Get this: the Federal Reserve’s chart has natal Sun at 1° Capricorn opposite Pluto at 0° Cancer. So, it’s been getting a direct hit for 3 years. Very dangerous! Time for massive restructuring, or extinction. None of these things are happening TO US. We’ve created our reality.

Saturn and Uranus have been having it out since the election and fortunately we can see that Saturn is starting to move away from this direct opposition to radical Uranus. This has been symbolized by the bitter fighting between the Right and the Left since then. The fight will continue, but as we can see, Pluto is involved and whenever it gets in the middle of things, actual survival always becomes an issue. Pluto doesn’t really “care” if the race survives or not; it’s here to protect the Earth.

The Saturn-Uranus fight has been like watching 2 children fighting in the back seat on a long hot summer traveling across the country. With no A/C. Neither side will budge and Pluto WILL bring an end to it. With Mars getting involved, crossing into 0° Cancer on 8/3, ISN’T IT A COINCIDENCE THAT THAT IS THE DEADLINE FOR THE RAISING OF THE DEBT CEILING? We see how intimately involved astrology is. Mars wants action.

So, take it slow for me, what is the Saturn-Uranus opposition all about? Saturn has been trying to take things back to the old ways. Uranus is the opposite, it wants to be progressive. Saturn HAS NO CHANCE against the universal power of Uranus (The Tower Card.) Saturn holds on to the status quo, Uranus breaks it into little pieces. If Saturn bends, all will be okay, otherwise if it’s too rigid, it will break. The two need to work together, but whoever heard of that before in these UNITED States (since 1945)? A healthy relationship between the two means, Saturn builds, steadies and stabilizes the country, Uranus cracks it apart so the novel can enter.

He did it. She did it. They did it. He’s to blame. They’re to blame. That’s how these two can get. Sound familiar?

Now that Saturn is moving on, what will that mean? Basically, the conservative voice (Saturn) will get quieter, believe it or not. Uranus will be left alone for several years to combat Pluto in a square that is a direct answer to when the two (Uranus and Pluto) traveled together which was in what is known as the SIXTIES! 1961-1969, these two powerful planets brought the huge revolution to our culture. So, with Saturn out of the way, the fight between these two heavyweights will become less restricted – off with the gloves. Saturn will continue on further into Libra and will probably become much more productive with much less static interference. Saturn’s optimal place is in the sign of Libra – so, we will probably see much more sanity from the Supreme Court. The controversial and monumental ruling they made in terms of allowing foreign entities to unboundedly contribute to our election campaigns (to own them) was because Saturn was being overwhelmed by heavy-duty Pluto in Capricorn. Expect changes in that issue since Saturn (true justice) will be able to “see” clearer.

What has Saturn squaring Pluto been causing? Notice on a smaller scale how schools are starting to get much more serious about stopping (Saturn) bullying (Pluto)? How we’ve trying to contain nuclear power (Pluto/Japan). New regulations (Saturn) against powerful corporations (Pluto) and that fight? Notice how Saturn has been doing its best to uncover and stop all the corruption dug up by Pluto in Capricorn ever since late 2007? On and on it goes. So many examples. Both planets are very serious and are clearly the two stern ones of the zodiac. The two “caused” the 9/11 catastrophe, the Holocaust, ethnic cleansings, nuclear power, huge oil spills, etc. You don’t fool with these two. They are mainly why things seem so grim today. We need serious answers to serious problems to stay one step ahead of their destructive powers. They are not CAUSING the decay, they are merely EXPOSING it. Eventually, some force has to, for the sake of evolution. Sooner or later you just have to go down into the bowels of your basement to see how bad it’s become. Same inside of us.

What has Uranus squaring Pluto been causing? Besides my reference to the 60’s, we need to see that this in one way is a repeat of that time. Why? Because when two planets conjunct or line up together as Uranus and Pluto did in the early 60’s, they eventually get to where they make a right angle to each other years later. That is now. Notice how racial issues are at a max now along with the fact that we have an Afro-American President. This has a direct correlation to the 1963 Civil Rights Act. The square after a conjunction asks, “Is it working? Has the equal rights changes of the 60’s really been effective or not?” Racism is rampant to this day and still sits in the very middle of much of our social dis-ease.

Besides race, whenever Uranus combines with Pluto, the usage of power comes into question. The very existence of the USA is threatened now because of misuse of power. This is the very same dynamic that has brought down all great civilizations. We still have military bases in 175 countries? Why? We feel entitled to be the world’s police? Just how arrogant have we become? We are walking on very thin ice with Pluto because even though it is deadly, it believes in fairness across the board. No wonder our markets are shaking and we are faced with a lowering of our international credit rating. Pluto means serious business. Notice all the discord in many of the other countries from Mexico to Egypt to Ireland to Greece to Morocco to Sudan to Syria to Norway to Japan, et al. And Greenland and the Arctic and Antarctica are melting away.

When you don’t want to hear that there is climate change, that means there is none.
