Pluto through Sidereal Scorpio

[Guest guest]

For Christmas of 2000, my husband presented me with a wonderful book (for

astrologers, that is...), MILLENNIUM YEAR BY YEAR (DK Publishing). This

book is set up in colorful newspaper format with major events,

illustrations and their dates highlighted as they would appear in

newspapers. This is the book I consult when checking the transits of slow

planets through the signs along with TIMETABLES OF HISTORY when I have time.

 

Admittedly, the choice of major events is left to those who designed and

published the Millennium book. No single astrologer has time to thoroughly

research historical events, particularly those that relate to changes in

world consciousness. So, as I did with the financial picture of Pluto into

sidereal Sagittarius, I've listed below the major events with a distinctly

Martian tone during Pluto's transit of sidereal Scorpio from " Millennium. "

 

Tropical positions are also noted. All sidereal positions are

Lahiri/Krishnaturti. Early months of the transit will, of course, have

Pluto in tropical Scorpio since the ends of tropical signs overlap the

early degrees of sidereal signs. However, tropical Scorpio hasn't been

noted to be particularly Martian nor has it been connected to terrorism in

textbooks.

 

PLUTO THROUGH SIDEREAL SCORPIO

------------------------

Pluto through sidereal Libra (1981-92): No major terrorist events noted.

 

26 Feb 1993: First transit of Pluto into sidereal Scorpio; World Trade

Center bombing, at the time noted to be " the worst terrorist attack in the

U.S. " Pluto 1Sco50; tropical 25 Scorpio

 

1994: Rowanda's " killing fields " ; 100,000 people killed; Pluto 4 Scorpio;

tropical 27.5 Scorpio

 

12 April 1995: Oklahoma City Bombing, " worst bomb outrage the nation has

ever known " Pluto 6 Scorpio; tropical Pluto on cusp between Scorpio and

Sagittarius

 

10 Feb 1996: IRA Blast in London; Pluto 9 Scorpio; tropical 3 Sagittarius

(Pluto has permanently left tropical Scorpio)

 

18 July 1996: Flight 800 explodes after takeoff; All on board killed;

Suspected bomb/terrorism; Pluto 7 Scorpio; tropical 0.5 Sagittarius

 

1998: President Clinton sex scandal (Pluto is now transiting tropical

Sagittarius)

 

[From here on the historical reference is " World History Timeline " from the

internet.]

 

11 September 2001: WTC, the now infamous collapse of the twin towers in New

York. The ultimate terrorist attack except for those who believe it was

engineered for political reasons. Pluto at 19 Scorpio; tropical 12 Sagittarius

 

2002: Sex scandals in the Catholic Church

 

March, 2003: U.S. invades Iraq

 

11 March 2004: Bombs blast commuter trains in Madrid; Pluto 28 Scorpio

sidereal, nearing the end of its transit.

 

1994: Govt backed Arab militia in Sudan accused of ethnic cleansing;

estimated 70,000 civilians killed

 

1994: Chechen militants take 1000 schoolchildren hostage; all ended in

chaos with bloodshed and explosives and 300 people dead (Pluto remains in

sidereal Scorpio all through 1994.)

 

7 July 2005: Bombs detonated in crowded London subways during rush hour;

largest attack on Great Britain since WW II. Pluto at 28.5 had retrograded

back into sidereal Scorpio.

 

In December of 2005 Pluto permanently enters sidereal Sagittarius.

Astrologers typically cite the transit of planets through signs in mundane

astrology. It will probably be a long time before any kind of controlled

research is conducted related to mundane events and a relationship to signs

of the zodiac. Here I've mainly noted that a connection seems to exist

between terrorist activity in the western world and Pluto through sidereal

Scorpio. This would support the Mars primary rulership of sidereal Scorpio.

 

So far we haven't seen any major terrorist activity in the U.S. since Pluto

entered Sagittarius. Does this mean that we need to no longer have concerns

about terrorist activity in America? Only time will tell. We do know that

shootings continue, particularly in schools, plus one incident in a

military establishment. These are domestic rather than external terrorist

attacks.
