May and June are of a piece, dominated as they are by the Jupiter-Saturn
square of May 26 feeding into Saturns June 18 square to Neptune to
comprise a T-Square. Jupiter and Saturn are within a couple degrees of
their exact quadrature throughout May and into early June, while the
Saturn-Neptune square is within the same range from late May throughout
June and on into October (including their second exact quadrature, on
September 10).
Together, these two quadratures comprise the biggest celestial
configuration going now, in the over-all scheme of things. A breakdown in
comity and civility is part of this picture, but more importantly its the
breakdown of civil order per se: social, financial and political institutions
are breaking down and grinding to a halt. This ranges all the way from
nationwide strikes in France and Venezuela, to the domination of outsider
candidates in the US Presidential nomination races.
This is different from, although related to, the social and political
upheaval associated with the 2011-2016 Uranus-Pluto square which I
have called the "Arab Spring" quadrature. This was the time of the Occupy
Movements all around the world: the lower and middle classes rising in
anger and frustration over the inequities and oppression they
encountered all around them.
Its clear from the history of the past few years where the Uranus-Pluto
quadrature led: to crackdowns and repression, and in the extreme, to
outright civil war in a number of countries. What would you expect, when
the plutocracy responds to revolution?
The present combination of Jupiter squaring Saturn and Saturn squaring
Neptune is different. This isnt revolution, this isnt repression (although
they may come from it in some cases). Its collapse, and the measures
taken by the plutocracy to stitch together a new structure that will hold
the mess together. From cities to states to entire countries, bankruptcy is
spreading. Financial systems, already hanging on by a thread from the
last meltdown (the 2008 Saturn-Uranus opposition and the so-called
"Great Recession"), are once again getting shored up as well as can be.
Which isnt all that well in places like Detroit, Chicago, Puerto Rico and
Venezuela just to name a few.
youre doing while youre doing it. Maybe especially around June 8-12,
when Mercury opposes Mars; and June 18, when the Moon aligns with the
Red Planet . . .
