In the
first three weeks of 2021, the network (CNN) averaged 2.2 million viewers - only to
plummet to just one million viewers - a decline of 54%. Among the key
advertising demographic of adults age 25-54, ratings are down 60%. From
December 28 through Inauguration day, viewership went from 617,000 viewers in
that demographic to just 244,000 since Biden took office. Apr.17
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 [20cn] forming a square to radix Pluto [19li] and Poseidon [23li]. Notice that the April New Moon [22ar] fell opposite the radix Pluto-Poseidon conjunction acting as the “minute hand” of the cosmic clock triggering the solar direction.
In addition, the Crescent Moon of April 17 fell on CNN’s radix Sun [11ge] in the 8th house of death and dissolution. A chart for the Moon phase has the Sun-Pluto square significantly aligned with the meridian at Atlanta. As with other Sun-Pluto combinations, with this one we often have to contend with the breakdown of situations. It urges us to let go of old patterns of behavior.
