Now in text for easy reading:

For the past ~2 years, there has been a pileup of planets, namely Saturn, Pluto & Jupiter, all in Capricorn. When it comes to these outer planets, Capricorn comes to represent systems, institutions, and authority.

When Pluto, the planet of upheaval and transformation, entered Capricorn in 2008, the dark truths behind the structures we once deemed "the norm" began to be exposed…

But when Saturn, the planet of discipline and change, entered Capricorn in 2017, these buried realities began to break down…

Aquarius represents the rebel, the voice that yells that we cannot go on like this any longer…

Correction: Neptune was in Libra in 476 AD, it was in Pisces in 376 AD, but the century of decline of the Roman Empire is not an error. Saturn was in Aquarius in 1963-65 and the wave of race riots marked the tumultuous 1960s during the Civil Rights movement. Dr/Rev Martin Luther King Jr opposed violence and he encouraged peaceful protests for people to better address their grievances and calls for social justice for underrepresented minority groups to gain more equality.

so, recent events in the uk. protesters are pulling down statues and removing anything with ties to racism or the slave trade. its like a mini revolution happening here as well.

Born into a prosperous Bristol merchant’s family, Colston was educated in London and joined the Mercers’ Company in 1673, where he traded in woollen textiles and wine.

He became a member of the London-based Royal African Company - which at the time had the monopoly of Britain’s slave trade - in 1680.

interesting that pulling up an emphemeris for the time, july 1680 was a conjunction of saturn and pluto in cancer.

we discuss some underlying issues in the country related to systemic racism
and police violence, then transition into discussions on activism
that have sprung up in the astrological community recently.
Also broader themes
about what it is like to be a black astrologer in America.
