-Caveat Lector-
Every night, while taking a smoke break at work, I look up at the night sky,
and for what seems like months now, I've seen the same two planets, Jupiter
and Saturn, always separated by a hand's-breadth. As an astrologer, that
tells me something about the "crisis" everyone seems to be expecting around
Y2K Day, December 31st. The Y2K CHART is unexceptional. But come May 2000,
when the "gap" between Jupiter and Saturn CLOSES, it's time to worry ... The
ancients always treated the conjunction of Jupiter and Saturn as a
ending-cum-new-beginning point in a 20-year [as well as in a larger
SIXTY-year] cycle of expansion and contraction (analogous to the lunar cycle
of new and full moons or the lunisolar cycle of eclipses) in all spheres of
collective human life -- for example, in the progress of religion (Jupiter
and Saturn were conjunct at the birth of Jesus and said to have been conjunct
when Abraham and Moses were born)
and in economics, as the turning point in a recurring cycle of surpluses and
deficits.
It has meant something important also in POLITICS -- a radical change in
"era," as a rule marked by the tragic death of the head of state, followed by
a kind of reversal of values with the succeeding office-holder. Every
astrologer is familiar with the 20-year cycle of deaths of American
presidents in office: Since 1776, almost every time, the presidents ELECTED
during Jupiter-Saturn conjunctions --e.g., 1900, 1920, 1940 and 1960-- died
under unusual circimstances (often by assassination) shortly afterward. One
of the rare exceptions --but not necessarily signalling a CHANGE in the
pattern-- was the 1980 election of Ronald Reagan, who somehow SURVIVED
(bodily, at least) ATTEMPTED assassination. The year 2000 is another one of
those fateful elections, and it'll be interesting to see if the SOCIOLOGICAL
pattern observed thus far repeats
itself. That pattern involves a complete polar-shift in political temper --
as after 1940, when, following the death of FDR, American politics veered
from far Left to far Right,
under Truman, culminating in the McCarthy era; and after 1960, when, after
the JFK assassination, '60s liberalism was driven back by Nixon, Kent State,
and Watergate.
(Post Watergate, the snowballing revolt against Nixon and covert ops resulted
in Jimmy Carter, whose "October Surprise" LOSS to Reagan-Bush inaugurated the
1980 cycle.)
So, if the historical correspondences to NATURAL (planetary) cycles are any
guide, the ARBITRARY (calendrical) "turning point" signified by Y2K --not
even the TRUE end of a century and millennium, technically-- will come and go
with a "whimper." But don't give up YET, if it's a "bang" you're expecting.
That's still coming, in the immediate future ...
