Today is the 11th anniversary of the false-flag attacks of Sept. 11, 2001. It’s an anniversary of an event most of us would carry with us in any case — but the modern politico-military-industrial-infotainment complex has its own reasons for being sure everyone remembers the incident according to the official script. [Eric will be covering this in Planet Waves FM, which will be posted later Tuesday. Also, we will be running a different Planet Waves article about the Sept. 11 incident every morning for the rest of the week.]
True to form, the universe is giving us an astrological set-up that could either assist individuals in breaking free of sentimental group-think, or else reinforce the grandstanding and manipulation that has been so compelling to so many for so long: Venus in aspect to the Uranus-Pluto square, the driving force in the cultural upheaval and restructuring we’re witnessing or participating in now.
First, Venus in Leo. Those with this natal placement are not prone to getting talked into things — unless they want to be. That alone is a fascinating dynamic to have at play today, given the number of people talked into an unquestioning facsimile of patriotism eleven years ago. Many, many of us wanted to believe the official 9/11 story; many still do.
If that story, of 19 Muslims and buildings that just fall down, wore thin for you years ago (or recently), you’re in a stronger position to receive the strength and integrity offered by Venus in Leo now, when nostalgia is being invoked by every political candidate in the U.S. from the guy running for city dog catcher to Mr. Obama himself and his opponent.
