As the Sun moved into a square with Pluto earlier in the week, the lunatic fringe that’s trying to take over the government sort of succeeded in doing so. In describing the Uranus-Pluto square, many times I’ve called our era the anti-Sixties.<\/p>\n

It’s not the kids who have protests; it’s a bunch of rich old white men with government cars, government health insurance, nice government salaries, up to four government-sponsored offices each, complete with staffs, and very easy jobs, who stage a building takeover. Well, a little more than a building — a lot of federal departments.<\/p>\n

My chart of the Libra New Moon, used for this week’s horoscope and for the Libra birthday reading, showing the positions of Typhon in Libra, asteroids Industria in Capricorn and Hera in Aries, plus Kronos and Cyllarus in Cancer. Many of these points add to the grand cross.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

If a bunch of anti-fracking activists tried anything of the sort, they would be carted off in handcuffs before you could say, “Don’t tase me, bro.”<\/p>\n

It takes a combination of personality traits to do this kind of thing — immaturity, extreme insensitivity, an agenda and a God complex. Being stupid helps.<\/p>\n

As I’ve been writing lately, this is one of those Really Interesting Weeks — which comes to a crescendo with the Libra New Moon today at about 8:35 pm EDT. Accompanying this, there will be a number of surprises. <\/p>\n

The New Moon is opposite Uranus, who is the king of the unexpected. In Aries he’s also the queen of glam — and a lot of what you see going on in politics is a twisted kind of image-driven mania: the drive of the politician to survive.<\/p>\n

We will see how that works with so much self-destructive activity going on on the highest level of national and world leadership. It’s possible you’re seeing events that look more like an explosion than a power struggle.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, among other current events is the approach of Mercury to Saturn in Scorpio. Mercury ingressed Scorpio recently, where it will be for the next two months, due to the retrograde between Oct. 21 and Nov. 10.<\/p>\n

The conjunction to Saturn looks like the revelation of secrets, curiosity about taboo subject matter and hot talk. Try it and see. Find someone you trust, who likes to whisper wholly inappropriate things to you, and start talking. Say what you would never say. You may find yourself inspired to do what you never thought you would do.<\/p>\n

Venus is still in Scorpio, and the fact that she’s drifting out to the edge of that sign is suggesting that edgy activities will be all the more fun. With so many planets currently in water signs — in order of speed, Mercury, Venus, the lunar apogee (also known as Black Moon Lilith), Jupiter, Saturn, Chiron and Neptune, we are living through a moment that’s all about feeling.<\/p>\n

Of course you don’t want to let this run away with you, or suck you down the whirlpool. Grounding is essential right now, with all this water in the sky and not so much earth; in fact most of our earth-grounding is coming from Pluto in Capricorn, which is saying: focus on change and you will keep your feet on the ground.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
