There is a saying out there about how "the pen is mightier than the sword" and I wonder if that saying is more true now in the age of information, communication, and transparency.
I noticed how this has transformed politics to some degree where dirt on your opponents is easier than every to find.
Typically, it is considered by astrologers that Scorpio is the "most powerful sign" as Pluto and Mars are associated with power. Yet I have always noticed whether in my own life or media (Trump vs Hillary), Gemini tends to almost be the achilles heel of a Scorpio. I used to wonder why but then I slowly started to realize what was going on:
1. Scorpio relies on secrecy, blind followers, and hypnotism of the masses to gain power, facts go outside the door.
2. Gemini attacks that very secrecy and brings out the dirty laundry.
3. Scorpio cannot defend itself as successfully now that everyone has caught on to the lie.
4. Gemini is the communicator so even if the dirty comes out about them, they can successfully defend themselves.
It makes me wonder whether power changes with times.
In ancient times, the violent and physically strong Aries would have been the most powerful.
In times of early politics where secrecy and hiding your own dirt was valued, Scorpio was the most powerful.
In modern times, the age of communication and transparency, perhaps Gemini and the air signs are the most powerful.
