Astrology and Politics, Washington New Odd Couple
In 2006 the astronomers demoted Pluto to a dwarf planet. Pluto probably couldn’t care less; like the rest of the celebs with one name he knows the importance of good buzz and a high profile. Besides, since the planet of death and rebirth entered no-nonsense Capricorn (the sign that rules business, banking, government, and corporations) in 2008, we’ve seen the collapse of those once impenetrable institutions. Who’s calling Pluto a dwarf planet now? Pluto will remain in Capricorn until 2024 where it will continue to transform those establishments and our own lives as well. Which is why this may be the perfect time to hunker down with a good astrology book.
“Politics and astrology might at first seem strange bedfellow,” Jessica Murray writes in her thought provoking book, Soul-Sick Nation, An Astrologer’s View of America (MotherSky Press, 2008). But maybe not so strange. These are extraordinary times with unparalleled problems; everybody has an opinion but no one seems to have the answers. Why not invite metaphysics into the conversation? If we’re going to heal this country we need to think bigger and look deeper. Jessica Murray does exactly that.
At the center of this book is the birth chart of America — yes, countries like people have birth charts. Murray is a superb astrologer and she masterfully analyzes the chart of America (born July 4, 1776 in Philadelphia, PA). This country has a nurturing Cancer sun (we want to take care of the entire world) with a freedom-loving Aquarius moon (we’re not exactly as we appear) and a colorful and optimistic Sagittarius (the symbol of the cowboy) ascendant. Both powerful Pluto (which rules what is hidden and repressed) and ambitious Saturn (associated with reality and responsibility) are prominent in the chart and she spends a good deal of the book dissecting those heavy weight planets and their contribution to America’s character and destiny.
