The stellium of Mercury retrograde, Mars, Hermes and Pluto in Capricorn that we have been telling you about the last 72 hours is still functional all day today. The Moon, now in Aries, is sweeping through this arrangement in a cardinal square aspect.

Julian Assange is having his first extradition hearing in London. Unless the established order can invoke Hermes and magically come up with something substantial, the so-called charges promise to be absurd stretches that will offend the intelligence of anyone who can say “Magna Carta”.
We seem to be learning quickly, that power is its own justification. As of this writing, Mr. Assange is clearly and simply a political prisoner. Up until today, due process has been dispensed with as historic and distinguished legal systems on two continents have stooped to soil themselves publicly to placate that which those systems have truly come to serve.
What exactly is being served at the cost of all credibility is to be revealed, but it is a double-edged revelation. Even as the emperor’s clothes are coming off, so are the gloves. No institution, no matter how hallowed or sacred, is immune. The seat of power will stop at nothing — even tearing down its own facade — to get what it wants. Thus it is fitting that the the asteroid Hybrus (otherwise known as Hubris) is next in line to conjoin with the Galactic Center in Sagittarius, doing so even as you read this.
