Dramatic increase in US Youth Mortality

 

Mercurius - the god of youth

Young Americans are dying at unprecedented rates, with a new study showing a surge in mortality driven by drug poisoning, alcohol-related deaths, and emerging health challenges. Young adult deaths in 2023 were 70 percent higher than they would have been if pre-2011 trends had continued. https://tinyurl.com/45ccn4zw

 

A New Moon or Full Moon becomes significant for a place if it aligns with the angles. The Full Moon of Jan 14 not only aligned significantly with the horizon at Washington DC, it was conjunct the Sibly Mercury in the 8^th. Among other things, Mercury in astrology rules the youth and the eighth house is about the “death rate”

So with Mercury in the 8^th activated by the Full Moon is it at all surprising that we are getting news about the death rate among the young. In addition with Mercury opposite Pluto, the god of death and destruction, we have a further hint of the high mortality rate that has become clearly obvious at the Sibly Pluto return. 

Mercury also rules education and its opposition to Pluto could mean a revamp of the Department of Education which is what Trump is doing right now.
