CNN Ratings Collapse





Trump's "fake news" nemesis, CNN, experienced a dramatic collapse in ratings last week compared to 2017.According to AdWeek, CNN viewership tumbled 41% in daytime TV ratings and tumbled 36% in primetime versus the same week last year.

"CNN ranked No. 6 across basic cable in total primetime viewers, and No. 5 in total day this past week. Despite the top 10 finishes, the network was -36 percent in primetime viewers, and -41 percent in total day viewers vs. the same week last year", AdWeek wrote.





The Cable News Network was launched at 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on June 1, 1980 at Georgia, Atlanta [1]. CNN’s horoscope based on this data is shown here.  The natal Sun in Gemini – a sign associated with communication and the news media makes a hard aspect to the Ascendant – Pluto – TNP Poseidon conjunction. In her book The Orders of Light, Martha Wescott delineates Pluto-Poseidon as under:

Pluto-Poseidon: to recognize the pervasive and invasive power of the media, advertising or ideologic propaganda; to see attempts to influence, control, dominate or manipulate people through these things. [2]

To find out what is going on  in this horoscope, we look at the most important  current solar progression – Progressed solar arc Sun [18cn] forming a square radix Pluto [19li]. The trigger for this solar progression is a powerful  square from transit Pluto [19cp] just past the radix Moon [17cp]. Pluto is moving through sidereal Sagittarius conjunct the star rho Sagittari, on the head of the Archer. The Sagittarian Centaur lives and breathes the Galactic Truth. In shooting his arrow of Truth, the Zen Archer destroys that which must die, the false truths and false gods of fear that lie hidden within self.

Update added 2.05.19

CNN's already-dismal prime time ratings dropped 26% in April compared to the same month last year, according to Forbes. The network's total prime time audience was well under a million viewers at 767,000, while competitors MSNBC and Fox News more than doubled that figure at 1.66 million and 2.395 million viewers respectively.

Many  events can be explained by what astrologers call the station point. This  term refers to the period when a planet slows down and stands relatively still before changing directions, and either starts going backward ("retrograde") or forward ("direct"). At this point the planet is very powerful. Why? Because in the process of slowing down and grinding to a seeming halt, the influence of that planet is dramatically amplified.


At the end of April both Saturn and Pluto have stationed to go retrograde on the IC of the chart forming a square aspect to CNN’s  radix Pluto-Poseidon which is delineated above. Saturn is the planet astrologers associate with a “reality check”. If we have been lying to ourselves, Saturn’s transit brings consequences.
