One year after the fall of Lehman Brothers presaged a worldwide economic crisis, futurist Gerald Celente is predicting that a revolution has already begun in the United States. Many are decrying his “doom and gloom” predictions, but he is saying exactly what I have been saying myself: that you can’t keep repairing a house that is built on quicksand. The house has to be taken down and rebuilt on a firmer footing.
To recap the astrological history: The entry of Pluto into Capricorn in January of 2008 led to a panic in the stock market as it became clear that the expansion of the Pluto in Sagittarius era could not go on forever. Pluto brings cultural transformation, and astrologers knew that when Pluto entered Capricorn the structures on which we base our lives (Capricorn), including government, financial and educational systems, and religious institutions would be forever transformed.
But even before this Saturn was paving the way to an increased sense of thriftiness when it entered Virgo back in the fall of 2007. Suddenly there was the beginning of a shift towards savings and conservative attitudes towards money as the subprime mortgage fiasco began to build.
Evidently Celente couldn’t get anyone in the US to listen, so he has taken his message to Russia Today:
“It hasn’t ended. That was only the beginning. We are going to see a lot more. There is no recovery, it’s a cover-up. They’re covering it up with stimulus packages, with buy outs, with bailouts – it’s not going to fix the problem.”
I personally don’t believe that the coverup is intentional – I think there is a desperate attempt to get back to where the financial system was a few years ago, using the same tools. But as financial analyst Max Wolff says, as quoted in this article:
“Let’s put it this way: in order to have a 20 to 30 trillion dollar global blow-up, you don’t have a few bad apples and you don’t have a few simple mistakes – you have everybody basically bought in on a system that’s fundamentally unsound.”
In this video interview of Celente it is clear that he’s not an alarmist. As far as I can tell, he is merely trying to get people to wake up to the fact that the times have changed. Astrologers are looking ahead to the upcoming square from Uranus (revolution) in Aries (war and aggression) with Pluto (transformation, death and rebirth) in Capricorn (social structures) and realizing that some kind of revolution is going to take place. For some time I have felt that the period from 2010 to 2014 (especially 2012-2013 when this aspect is at its tightest) will bring revolutionary conflict between those who have (Capricorn) and those who don’t (Uranus in Aries). This won’t be traditional war as we have known it, between countries. This is a people’s revolution that will spread all over the world.
Celente says that it doesn’t have to be like this. If the governments of the world recognize what’s going on here and work to rebuild the financial system, this collapse can lead to a renaissance and transformation of our world. Like me, he says “let’s the banks that are too big to fail, fail.” Let’s start again from scratch on a solid foundation.
Unfortunately, though, the powers that run the banking system have too much to gain by retaining the status quo. If you’re not convinced, take a look at the Vanity Fair article about how the bailout money (approved by previous president George Bush, remember) has been wasted. And our Congress, supported by lobbyists and special interests on both sides of the aisle, just go along with it.
Celente is predicting the emergence of a new third party which he’s calling “Progressive Libertarian” in 2012. To me this follows the astrology nicely – the Uranian influence will increase the desire of Americans to be liberated (Uranus) from the clutches of the two party system (Capricorn).
Sunday inspiration: Trusting the future Astrologers have a reputation, which we ourselves and our forbears have propagated, of being able to foretell the future. If you run a Google search for "Can astrology predict the future," the very first article is from a well-known astrology site titled "Predicting the future with astrology."
Neptune in Pisces and the question of reality Neptune just slipped back into Pisces where it will remain until 2025. Neptune's role in the astrological pantheon is to cause us to question where the physical world ends and a more transcendent reality begins. It therefore rules our spiritual experience, but it can also be confusing and induce

A member of the New World Order and Illuminati gives to his fellow Illuminists our CASH. can u believe this????….. Calente and many others have schooled or warned us of the evil of the NWO..and guess what the American people elected another one… Obamma. McCain was another member of the same evil NWO…. they play both sides, the Democrats and the Republicans are as corrupt as they could possibly be…to learn something why not go and study on the net the New World Order the Illuminati… Groups of crooked zionists and others like them who are greedy and inherently down right luciferian and EVIL. http://www.dprogram.net is a good site for information as is to an extent http://www.alexjones.com check out those sites and u will get an idea on what i am saying here…
Pure GREED…
Great parallels you have drawn here, Lynn.
Re: the 1st comment, Alex Jones isn’t the most reliable reporter that ever lived, but at least the commenter got the “crooked zionist” part right. They’re running rampant in the Obama administration. Imagine the uproar if there were that many dual citizens of, say, Iran or N. Korea or some other “rogue” nation, as there are dual citizens of Israel and America in the US government.
No man can serve two masters, I say.
I like Obama – I am grateful he’s our president and personally don’t buy into the conspiracies, nwo etc. although I understand those that do… but I think this guy is right on the money. Our whole political system is utterly corrupt and I think it must ultimately crumble before we can build something new. I am hopeful that Obama will help guide us through, although I know that he is merely a reflection of what society needs him to be/what we’ll allow him to be -
The talk of recovery is baffling to me – the only place I see it is wallstreet – and I don’t see how that can last… but hey – I’m just a suburban mom.
Thanks Lynn.
Interesting times, eh?
Dear Lynn,
I just read the report that you wrote for Iran after the election, it was very interesting as I’m an Iranian, I’m writing this comment here because I thought it has a higher chance to be seen by you. Can I ask you to update your report for Iran? things are really changing, and on Friday sep 18, exactly on the day of new moon, and close to Saturn-Uranus conjunction, new round of protests started again. it look very interesting. an update from you is really appreciated.
Best Regards
Amir
I thought Obama was a muslim terrorist, not a zionist infiltrator. Oh dear, it’s getting harder and harder to keep up with the conspiracy lunatics out there in cyberspace.
I pretty much agree with you, Denise. I have a fantasy that in order to get elected and start making some of the changes in education and foreign policy that he’s been implementing he signed a pact with the devil to take on Larry Summers and TIm Geithner and the rest of the Wall Street crowd. It’s been a fact of life for centuries that bankers rule the world, and I don’t see that as being different now.
This is interesting and I can see the timeline of events. I have removed myself from being of either party (Dems or Reps) and this appears to represent the feeling of the basic American citizen at the moment.
We are all tired of having more laws that are a smoke screen to remove additional money from us…in the name of taxes.

And supposed “rebel” media watchdogs always heel and toe the line on the big issues, too. Don’t forget this; it does NO GOOD to go back and forth between Republican and Democrat every 4 or 8 years, because BOTH parties are equally intent on following the same overall agenda.

Astrology is an incredibly complex field of study, but don’t be discouraged if you feel a little overwhelmed. I’ve got lots of resources for you to get started:
First, read the introduction to astrology on my blog. This outlines the basic concepts.
Second, go to my website and start with the Introduction, which outlines the history of astrology and talks about how astrology is typically used.
Next, open the article entitled Meet the Planets! This article will explain the symbology of the planets, Sun and Moon.
Finally, explore the article on what the signs and houses are all about.
Soon I’ll be posting an audio class for beginners that will also be helpful. Ask questions here – everyone has something to contribute!
I’m not a huge fan of rules, but I like to encourage a happy sandbox with lively, entertaining, and educational discussions. There’s a fine line between civil debate and arguments that escalate into rage and I want to stay as far away from that line as possible. There’s also a fine line between introducing yourself and using this blog for your own self-promotion.
So… here are guildelines for this sandbox:
Everyone’s ideas and comments are welcome, whether or not they agree with me or anyone else. However, comments that refer to anyone as “stupid” or are excessively rude and do not add anything to the conversation will likely be removed.
I invite and encourage you to add your URL to your comment so that we can all get a better idea of who we are. I believe that this fosters community and helps the discussion along. However, if your post is for the sole purpose of advertising your URL or product, or if you are posting entire articles, those posts are likely to be removed.
A certain amount of healthy skepticism is welcomed, but comments that serve no purpose other than to inflame will likely be removed.
If you have a question about your chart that relates to an article here, feel free to post your birth data and I’ll be glad to answer it. This will give others an opportunity to learn from the dialogue.
If you have a general question about your chart or need advice,you can ask it here, but that kind of question will likely be outside the scope of what we can accomplish in this venue. you might instead want toconsider having an astrology reading.
Thanks for your comments and your participation in our discussions!
Welcome to Astrological Musings, a blog about the movements of the planets and how they affect our lives. Astrology is much more complex than the “sun sign” astrology you see in your daily paper: each of us has our own unique blueprint which is the horoscope, and the dance between the earth and the planets, sun and moon facilitate cycles on earth and within ourselves. Increasing our understanding and knowledge of these cycles helps us to be able to navigate them more effectively and create genuine transformation in our lives. We are not limited by our stars, as William Shakespeare said, only in how we use what we’ve been given.
In this blog you’ll find daily updates on planetary configurations and meanings, as well as horoscopes of famous people and events in the news. We’ll explore connections between cultural trends and planetary cycles, and discuss strategies for managing times of crisis. Political discussions here lean to the left, but other viewpoints are welcomed and encouraged! Religious discussions lean toward the unorthodox, but all faiths are respected here.
Although Astrological Musings is new to Belief Net, there are over 2-1/2 years of writings in the archives! Take a look, and visit our new Astrological Musings community where you can ask questions, share your views, and ask a free question for astrological advice. Stop by and introduce yourself!
Think astrology is all about Sun signs? Think again! Astrology is actually the study of the movement of the planets from our perspective on earth. The basic astrological symbolism includes the twelve signs of the zodiac, the planets, and the houses of the astrological chart.
The signs of the zodiac are echoes of the similarly named constellations which are rather arbitrarily divided into 30 degree symbolic segments that trace the apparent path of the Sun around the Earth from our viewpoint. We call that path the “ecliptic.” Each zodiac sign enjoys different assets and challenges and exhibits different personality traits.
The planets and luminaries (or Sun and Moon) in modern astrology are joined by a variety of other bodies such as asteroids and Chiron, which is classified as both an asteroid and a comet. In the astrological cosmology, each of these bodies represents an aspect of our personality. For example, the Moon represents our emotional nature and the way we process our feelings. Mercury reveals the way we communicate and share information. The outer planets (Uranus, Neptune and Pluto) show where we are likely to have experiences that awaken us to new realities (Uranus), transcend the material world (Neptune) or surrender to endings and new beginnings (Pluto).
The signs that the planets and luminaries fall in tell us the way those aspects of our personality or fields of experience manifest in the individual. Other fields of astrology create charts for other entities such as corporations and countries (mundane astrology).
When an astrological chart is cast for a person or an event, an actual two-dimensional map of the sky at the time of the birth of the individual or the event is drawn. This map is called the “horoscope,” and it is a two-dimensional view of the solar system from the viewpoint of the individual or event. The space of the sky above and below is divided up into twelve segments which we call “houses.” Each house represents a sphere of existence, and planets which fall in those houses suggest which areas of life will be most affected.
Astrologers also look at the geometric angles that the planets make to each other. These angles are called “aspects,” and they describe the way the various aspects of personality work together. The “hard angle” aspects (90 and 180 degree angles) are challenging aspects; they create conflict and tension but ultimately generate power for change. The “flowing” aspects (60 and 120 degree angles) create ease and harmony, but can induce complacency and laziness.
As the planets move through the sky, they make similar angles to planets in our chart, called “transits.” The relationship between planets in the sky and planets in our own chart induce cycles of experience that can be either harmonious or challenging. Understanding the nature of these cycles can not only give us tools for navigating the rough waters, but also provides clues for timing.
Finally, although our birthchart (also called the “natal” chart) never changes throughout our life, just as we are essentially the same being from birth to death, over time we change and evolve and this is reflected in the progressed chart. The progressed chart advances the natal chart and provides further clues for timing planetary cycles and events.
These basic concepts are just the beginning of what can be a lifetime of exciting discovery in the realm of astrology!
Our mission is to help people like you find, and walk, a spiritual path that will
bring comfort, hope, clarity, strength, and happiness.
