Of course this wasn’t just any Pluto Station. When Pluto went Stationary Direct (from the earth’s vantage point) on Sept. 28, 2017 it was extraordinary in being almost exactly opposite the USA Sun, and the first time ever in U.S. history and in Pluto’s 248-year orbit around the Sun that such a phenomenon has occurred. I’ve been writing about this astronomical/astrological event since spring 2017, but let us review some of the main components. Continue reading

The American Civil War of the 1860s is reappearing in multiple ways during the summer and fall of 2017: The classic Civil War film Gone with the Wind (1939) was removed from a popular film festival in Memphis, Tennessee. Deemed “insensitive” to the local population, which is 64% black, it was removed from the 2017 and 2018 series after a showing on Aug. 11, 2017. The statue of Robert E. Lee and other Confederate soldiers may be removed all across the South. An Asian TV announcer with the name Robert Lee was removed from his announcer post at ESPN – temporarily, as a football game Aug. 26, 2017 was to be held in Charlottesville, Virginia, the scene of the protests and counter protests in mid-August regarding Robert E. Lee’s statue.[i] And since George Washington and Thomas Jefferson were also major slave owners, the question arises: Should their statues be removed as well? And what about their images on U.S. currency? Continue reading

George Webb calls himself the “Accidental Journalist,” while his admirers call him “an extraordinary and intrepid investigator” and his detractors call him (predictably) a “conspiracy theorist.” Others like him have become “citizen journalists” in recent years, joining the burgeoning ranks of on-line Independent news media. Generally they do not feel served by the mainstream media, especially during the 2016 U.S. Presidential election and dating back to 9-11 or earlier. Many citizen journalists did not plan to be journalists, but moved into it out of utter frustration with the level of information being presented on mainstream news (MSM). Continue reading

“Apparently, ‘conspiracy stuff’ is now shorthand for unspeakable truth.”
Gore Vidal, Oct. 2002
Transiting Pluto opposite anyone’s natal Sun is an arresting phenomenon, confronting the person’s very identity and legitimacy on deep levels. There are no political or geographical boundaries to Pluto’s realm, just as with Plutonian elements such as radioactivity. Expand the implications to cover the first-ever Pluto opposition to the USA Sun. Pluto’s orbit is 248.4 years, and the Sun in the chart of a nation-state is the President, or Head of State; also the presidency. Continue reading

The Information Age has brought with it both progress and retrogression. Some consider it simply the dark and light sides of capitalism and capitalist modernization, thus something that both emancipates and crushes. Astrologically, the Information Age in our era began formally in 1980-1981 with the triple Jupiter-Saturn conjunctions in sidereal Virgo, the sign that Mercury, the communications planet, owns and where it is exalted. The JU-SA conjunctions occur every 20 years, but when they occur three times at the 20-year mark, a relative rarity, this gives extra potency to the conjunctions, and brings extra intensity and acceleration both to the period and to the arena over which Mercury has domain. In addition, this set of triple conjunctions occurred in Hasta nakshatra (the hand), reflecting the new information technology’s hands-on practical approach, along with its hand-held devices, completely changing the way people live, work, and communicate.

There are cultural flashpoints in every era. And since musical tastes typically take the longest to develop, flashpoints may be recognized at the time as such. But they can also take many more decades before their impact is fully understood. One such moment was on Feb. 12, 1924 at a concert in New York City, now referred to as “a defining event of the Jazz Age and the cultural history of New York City.” (Wikipedia: Aeolian Hall) The concert became known as a “jazz concert” only years after the event. It was also the world premiere of George Gershwin’s Rhapsody in Blue. Up to that time, Gershwin was largely unknown to the classical music world. Continue reading

On a recent trip to the Caribbean, and while staying on the beautiful island of Nevis, I learned that Alexander Hamilton was born there – a surprise to me and perhaps to many people. So we had to visit his birthplace and the museum there. Coincidentally, upon our return to the U.S., Public television was showing a documentary film on the Broadway musical Hamilton by Lin-Manuel Miranda. He in turn was inspired by Ron Chernow’s biography of Hamilton, first published April 26, 2004. The musical Hamilton had its World premiere on Jan. 20, 2015 at the Public Theater, New York City and its Broadway debut on Aug. 6, 2015. Continue reading
When most astrologers predicted Hillary Clinton as winner in 2016, using both East & Western techniques and classical rules, it did not turn out as planned. Astrology did not work the way it normally works – at least I can say that for sure using Vedic astrology. I think all along was the revolutionary component that had to be considered and that would shatter all the usual rules we follow, including astrological rules – such as that Trump would lose in the last sub-period of his 18-year Rahu Dasha, which is normally the case. Continue reading

TRUMP ENCORE ET TOUJOURS À L’ÉPICENTRE
Donald Trump se maintient à l’épicentre de l’élection US 2016. Bien qu’il se situe actuellement environ à 6% de points derrière Clinton dans les sondages nationaux, aucun autre candidat ne peut se comparer à lui en matière de pur spectacle. Il sait comment garder les projecteurs braqués sur lui, fût-ce en positif ou en négatif. Nous parlerons bientôt de sa progression depuis sa position de chouchou des médias à celle de candidat, qu’à présent, bon nombre d’agences de presse souhaitent enterrer. Mais quand il a annoncé sa candidature à la présidence, le 16 juin 2015, avec tambours et trompettes depuis le Trump Plaza à New York, et un jour seulement après que le favori du GOP[1], Jeb Bush, ait annoncé la sienne, l’expert Ian Bremmer l’a publié en gros titre ainsi : “Comment Donald Trump a volé la Une à Jeb Bush”. C’était à la fois exact et clairvoyant. Continue reading

LA POLITIQUE DU VITRIOL
Le discours politique a atteint de nouveaux points d’ébullition au cours de la campagne électorale 2016. La haine intense, que nourrit le camp républicain à l’encontre d’Hillary Clinton, a trouvé son exacte contrepartie du côté des Démocrates, sous la forme d’une peur intense de voir arriver Donald Trump à la présidence. La différence, c’est qu’il est bien possible que les supporters de Trump aient à présent le dessus sur les supporters de Clinton, en matière de ferveur. Donald Trump, dans sa version du populisme autoritariste, les a persuadés qu’il pourrait résoudre tous leurs problèmes. Continue reading

LA VÉRITABLE HISTOIRE, QUE VOUS NE VERREZ PAS DANS LES GROS TITRES
La fraude électorale à l’échelle nationale, qui s’est produite durant la saison des élections US 2016 à ce jour, pourrait surpasser tout ce qu’on avait pu voir dans l’histoire des USA. Pourtant, ce sujet brûlant est éminemment absent des unes de l’industrie médiatique, même si de nombreuses “irrégularités” dans les votes ont été rapportées dans de nombreux États. La fraude s’est produite, pense-t-on, tout au long des primaires démocrates, où – dans un État après l’autre – le détournement allégué des voix s’est opéré systématiquement dans le sens Bernie Sanders vers Hillary Clinton, alors que Sanders aurait dû être le réel vainqueur des primaires.

In Dec. 2015 I predicted that the Democrats would keep the White House in 2016 and that the likely Republican nominee was Donald Trump, out of a field of 17 GOP nominees. (Click here for the article.) I also noted that due to the timing to Trump’s birth chart, especially being at the tail end of his 18-year Rahu Dasha (a Vedic planetary period), and losing the protection of transiting Jupiter in sidereal Leo from Aug. 12, 2016, his chances of reaching the presidency would diminish noticeably from that time onward.

The first 2016 Presidential debate between Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump surpassed all previous records for U.S. Presidential debates. It was viewed by some 80.9 million people, plus another four million or more via live streaming and other media venues. This superseded the previous record Oct. 28, 1980 – at 80.6 million – for the one televised debate between Jimmy Carter and Ronald Reagan. For the 2016 debate, most television audiences watched Continue reading

Donald Trump is still at the epicenter of the 2016 U.S. Election. Though he is currently ca. 6 % points behind Clinton in national polls, no other presidential candidate can match him for sheer entertainment value. He knows how to keep the spotlight focused on him, whether positive or negative. We will shortly cover his progression from glorious media darling to the candidate many media organizations now want to bury. But when he announced his presidential candidacy on June 16, 2015, complete with all the fanfare at Trump Plaza in New York, and only one day after the expected GOP front-runner Jeb Bush announced his candidacy, pundit Ian Bremmer headlined it this way: “How Donald Trump Stole Jeb Bush’s Moment.” This was both correct and prescient. Continue reading

Political rhetoric has reached new boiling points during the 2016 Election season. Intense hatred for Hillary Clinton on the Republican side is matched by intense fear of a Donald Trump presidency on the Democratic side. The difference is that pro-Trump supporters may now be surpassing pro-Clinton supporters in their fervor. Continue reading

Nationwide election fraud in the 2016 U.S. Election season to date may exceed anything yet known in American history. Yet this top story in 2016 is conspicuously absent from corporate news headlines, even if numerous voting “irregularities” were reported in many states. The fraud is believed to have occurred throughout the Democratic primaries, where – in state after state – the alleged vote rigging systematically shifted votes to Hillary Clinton from Bernie Sanders, who should have been the real winner in the primaries. Continue reading

CARRES JUP-SAT DANS LES ANNÉES D’ÉLECTIONS PRÉSIDENTIELLES US
Le carré exact Jupiter-Saturne coïncide avec une année d’élection présidentielle US tous les 20 ans, et nous pouvons en tirer certaines observations sur ce que signifie cette configuration pour l’élection 2016 et pour les élections présidentielles précédentes. Pendant la majeure partie de l’année 2016, Jupiter et Saturne sont en carré mutuel, en ce cas, le dernier carré avant la conjonction JUP-SAT de décembre 2020. En 2016, il y a deux carrés exacts, le 23 mars et le 26 mai. Ce thème a déjà été présenté dans mon article “Trump it Up” (21 décembre 2015) :

The exact Jupiter-Saturn square coincides with a U.S. Presidential Election year every 20 years, and we can make certain observations about what this configuration means for Election 2016 and for previous U.S. Presidential Elections. For most of 2016, Jupiter and Saturn are transiting in a mutual square relationship, in this case the last quarter square prior to the JU-SA conjunction in Dec. 2020. In 2016 there are two exact squares, March 23 and May 26, 2016. This theme was first introduced in my article “Trump it Up” (Dec. 21, 2015): https://edithhathaway.com/trump-it-up/#more-625.
