Changing of the Gods — Season 1, Episode 6: From Othering to Belonging: The Circle of Human Concern
Documentary • 30 min • 1 season, 10 episodes
Episode synopsis
During Uranus-Pluto transits, the Plutonic archetype brings into play what Carl Jung called “the shadow of the human psyche.” Pluto is the id, the instincts and the underworld in all senses. When Pluto is activated, we see a pronounced psychological tendency in the collective psyche to project these shadow qualities with unusual potency onto whomever people see as “other.” This Plutonic shadow correlates with an eruption of ancient resentments and hatreds against “othered” groups. It empowers, on large scales, the impulse for scapegoating, feeling victimized, and violence and repression.
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?
