A Succinct Astro-Fuqery Update

As I write this, yet another Chinese rocket body is tumbling to Earth in an uncontrolled descent – I’m under one of  the estimated re-entry paths btw – doomsday economists are rattling their scythes and well, you know the rest of it.

So, while I have made many of the following points at more length, this is a quick and hopefully helpful astro-summary.

*Pluto in Aquarius is going to be space politics central. Space protocols, space legislation, satellite tech, space junk, space treaties etc. There will be investment and employment opportunies in space tech + space law for sure.

The CZ5B Rocket is just a very dramatic illustration of the scenario. Obviously I hope that this 23 tonne thing doesn’t crash into me, any of you or a populated area but the mere fact that we have to think about this is ridiculous.

You can read more about it here but China is the only country that allows uncontrolled rocket descents and more are planned. This is the fourth since the first occurred on April 29/30  (Sun conjunct Uranus) and they’ve been very much a Saturn in Aquarius syndrome.

I don’t like the entire practice of junking spacecraft in the deep ocean – it will have consequences, eventually and it’s not nice for marine life.  But if one of these rockets hits an inhabited area – particularly in the USA – things will escalate rapidly. The current rocket scenario is an Eclipse/Sun-opposite-Uranus scenario but it will/it is hastening the development of space protocols set to be big in the incoming Pluto in Aquarius era.

*Inflation + Interest Rates – they can’t both be up and money was debauched so thoroughly in the experimental quantitative easing era that began with Pluto in Capricorn that there is no other choice. Interest rates go up and stay up or we get the digital version of those Weimar Republic people wheelbarrowing their cash down to the bakery to buy a loaf of bread. Or fiat currency itself goes.

The opening stanza of Pluto in Capricorn – the Global Financial Crisis – called time on the late Eighties and 90s Neptune in Capricorn aspirations {privatization, economic rationalism, offshoring etc) as well as Pluto in Sagg globalization as we knew it but the solution – rock bottom interest rates, debt and asset bubbles – was worse. Savings as a thing will be back and Generation Z is likely to end up as debt-averse as the Pluto in Cancer generation.

*Pluto in Aquarius is revolutionary by nature – the last time around gave us the French, American and Haitian Revolutions and all that follows. This time around the world is being reshaped by Russia and China (predominantly) pushing for more control and influence, as well as the heart-stopping uprising of the Iranian people against the Islamic Republic.

*Saturn square Uranus is coming to a close and you can now see it so clearly as all the narrative warfare around the pandemic response. The virus was ‘registered’ literally on the day Saturn conjunct Pluto was exact but the rollout of previously untried methods and attempts to quell ‘disinformation’ (dissent?) were pure Saturn square Uranus.

Whatever you think of Elon Musk and his Twitter takeover, it will become a stage for a broader drama in the lead-up to Pluto in Aquarius. He’s Cancerian, with Uranus square his Sun and Mars in Aquarius conjunct the North Node. I think that far from centralizing control of the narrative that is then issued via a relatively narrow set of outlets, information and opinion is going to become decentralized.

Like money, it won’t stay down.
