What do you say to people that have completely lost
all hope that things will ever get any better? The mountains of Appalachia
stretch all the way from southern New York to northern Mississippi, and nestled
within those mountains are dozens upon dozens of little towns that are so
impoverished that they look like they have been through a war. Thanks to Barack
Obama's relentless assault on the coal industry and the ongoing collapse of our
industrial infrastructure, Appalachia has lost millions of good paying jobs
over the past several decades.
Today, more than 40 percent of the population is
living in poverty in some areas of eastern Kentucky, and addiction to
"hillbilly heroin" (Oxycontin) is absolutely out of control
throughout the region. Yes, poverty is on the rise all over America, but it has
especially been cruel to those that make the mountains of Appalachia their
home.
An article that was published in the Guardian on
Thursday profiled the deeply impoverished town of Beattyville in eastern
Kentucky. Life is very hard in Beattyville today, and it seems to be getting
harder all the time. Nov.12
Among
those who have little or no practical experience with the science of the stars,
it is probable that the subject is believed to begin and end with the
calculation and interpretation of the horoscope of birth. Important as Natal
Astrology is, however, it might easily be argued that there is another branch
surpassing it in value and interest, namely that which is called Mundane or
National Astrology. Mundane Astrology is
the study of the effects of Ingresses, New Moons, Eclipses, planetary
conjunctions and similar celestial phenomena, as applied not to individuals but
to nations and large communities of people.
In this
post we shall see how the chart for the Sun’s entry into sidereal Libra at
Beattyville contains a hint of its decline.
Notice Pluto is in the 2nd house opposite the TNPs
Kronos-Hades in the 8th. The 2nd and 8th houses
rule the financial status of a community [1][2]. Lynn Hayes summarizes the meaning of Pluto’s
transit through Capricorn.
One of the things I believe we’ll be facing
over the next few years as Pluto travels through Capricorn is the erosion of
the structures that support our human lives on the planet. Bridges, tunnels,
buildings – all are ruled by Capricorn and subject to transformation while in
Pluto’s domain. http://astrodynamics.net/9970/
In
addition let us remember that Pluto rules the coal mining industry as well as obsolescence and therefore
correctly reflects what is happening in the mining towns of the Appalachian
mountains. The picture becomes complete if we add the delineation for the
elements involved.
Pluto-Hades: to recognize how poverty, lack, depression
can create upheaval.
If we
progress the Ingress chart to Nov.12, the date of the news, the
Pluto-Kronos-Hades opposition aligns with the horizon axis and is thereby
triggered.
