Planets and the Presidency


In the 1970s the cultural historian William Irwin Thompson described Richard Nixon’s resignation as U.S. President as the end of the presidency itself. He believed that Nixon’s departure symbolized a shift in the power of the office rather than just the failure of one man. The idea that leadership in the Oval Office may not be significant corresponds with the transit of transformational Pluto through executive Capricorn from 2009-2023, especially now with revolutionary Uranus coming into a stressful 90-degree square with Pluto. The point is that institutions are changing, including that of the Chief Executive in the United States, regardless of who she or he may be.

W showed us very plainly that a POTUS is pretty much nothing more than a spokesmodel for the military industrial and banking conglomerates anymore. Representation of the people went out the window, I'd say, in the late 50's after a very brief stint. The POTUS'es of the 1800's and early 1900's certainly had big business interests at heart, too.
