Changing of the Gods — Season 1, Episode 3: Political Revolutions Part 2: Democracy v. Plutocracy

Episode synopsis

Uranus-Pluto cycles consistently show a pattern of a revolt to overcome extreme inequality and ruling elites: the 99% against the 1%. We track the arc of social movements that were catalyzed in the West by the French Revolution and that have recurred across subsequent transits in the clash between democracy and plutocracy.

About Changing of the Gods

Changing of the Gods focuses on the “world transits” of the planets Uranus and Pluto, which together archetypally reflect “revolutionary transformation.” Each time these planets have come into axial alignments, a zeitgeist has manifested on Earth in concentrated periods of revolution, upheaval, and social breakthroughs that have changed the course of world history. About the Series During these periods, observers regularly see massive transformations in the areas of scientific and technological innovation, social and economic justice, women’s rights movements, black liberation movements, and the emergence of new paradigms that change how we view ourselves and reality as a whole.

 Sound familiar? The last time it happened was the 1960s. 

What is the revolution today? What is the transformation?
