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.

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.

What's to become of CA's stage 3 reopening tomorrow while the state hasn't quite contained the spread of COVID-19?

In the parans chart, the state's sun sign degree is 16' Virgo (admitted as the 31st state on Sep 9, 1850)...we need to do a synastry here to determine how it's going to turn out, to save the local economy and protect public safety at the same time.

CALIFORNIA's NATAL CHART (at sunset, about 6pm local time, 9/9/1850).
Sun: 16' Virgo (parans tend to be in descendant or 7th house).
Moon: 9' Scorpio (past new moon, waxing crescent phase).
Mercury: 13' Libra (direct, conjunct Mars).
Venus: 1' Scorpio (direct, conjunct Moon).

Chiron: 5' Sagittarius (direct, within 30' of the Moon in Scorpio).
Eris: 1' Pisces (direct, cusp Aquarius, close to Neptune).
