Emilyelizabeth, I hear you 200%. My son is also 20 and also think daily about what the heck (I) can do to keep him and our kids free, safe and unoppressed.
I listened too, with horror when the democratic candidates began spouting on about kids being
required to do NATIONAL SERVICE. No one is listening to me either about the danger of such a concept in a climate like this. People who ought to know better don't see this as anything to cause any suspicion!
The second I heard this my hackles went up.
We know how complicit Pelosi and her pack of Bluedogs are. We know this gov't does as it pleases and does not let go of people (enlistees) once their contract is up. I cannot arouse a speck of interest in this topic even with progressives like myself to get a dialogue going. In fact have been put down for it.
Such is what has always been faced by those with ideas and realizations whether they be scientific, social, medical or political. You have to keep going.
I can decifer that you, Emily are one of the
aries point kids yourself
. I am early aries and you early cancer. We are the first on the block to wake up and rouse the energy. I would love to talk with you more about these topics and look at your chart. Just to reassure you, pluto oppo sun isn't always a bad scene. In my own case I was introduced to some powerful people, but instead of experiencing oppression, I actually left an oppressive situation
at the first pass of pluto oppo sun while mars was conjunct pluto. What may look scarey is actually the time you can make the break, which is what aries pointers do best (at the squares and oppositions). The time period you speak of 98-99 was the transition from saturn square your sun then the fixed grand cross closing in around 8-11-99 which
does have the effect of being locked in a room with a bunch of loonies and there's no way out.
I coined the term for this grand cross the
Cycle of Corruption.
I don't like to post my chart because that's a little too much exposure for me in a public forum. You can reach me at *** emily.
Peace.:sunny:
