The height...I think you have your timing off a bit.<br />The height of the Cold War in the USA was not during the Reagan presidency. That was the end of the Cold War. But the comparison is appropriate.<br />It began during the post-WWII investigations by Joe McCarthy into Communist infiltration into American society in the early 1950s, an event exactly like the Salem witch trials. Guilt was by inference, not by actual proof.<br />This was after Stalin dropped the Iron Curtain on Eastern Europe, after the Berlin airlift, and during the Korean war. <br />The real tensions began with the Cuban missile crisis and continued during nuclear testing by the US and France in the Pacific, and coninuted right through the social unrest that accompanied the Vietnam war, with both the USA and USSR staring at each other across barbed-wire fence lines. That was the 1960s through the end of the 1970s.<br />Reagan had the seat in the White House at the end of the Cold War, with the breakup of the Soviet Union.<br />What is more interesting is that the same configuration (Uranus-Pluto-Jupiter) that accompanied the social upheavals in the 1960s is repeating itself now everywhere and will continue to affect social order, with threats of war, for the next 30 to 40 years.<br />The same sort of hero worship accompanied by suspicion, toward the military which you describe, is being promoted by the media in the US now.Saranoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30912075.post-67944792128766132382014-04-06T11:41:08.861+01:002014-04-06T11:41:08.861+01:00I see this also as a delayed-action reaction to 19...I see this also as a delayed-action reaction to 1989, when Uranus and Neptune applied to USA's Sun and Saturn. At the time it was 'we won the Cold War' but in fact it wasn't - and now this is dawning. <br /><br />It's also worth watching how USA has hit the skids with its Cancerian Jupiter - unable now to mother everyone - and its Libran Saturn - unable to make agreements and treaties - and, in both cases, pushing hard to restore something already lost in these areas. <br /><br />The new concept of 'pivoting' in US foreign policy somehow sums up Libra. But it's too late - the opportunity was around 1989-93 when USA chose military supremacy, as part of the projection you have been talking about. Projection of itself as the one around whom everyone else orbits.<br /><br />Perhaps these two suggest that USA was always supposed to be a land of peace, or at least of soft power.<br /><br />Since you're talking about how charts can operate before the entity is born, perhaps we're looking here at the future chart of some sort of real new world order - not the Big Brother or world government kind of the conspiratorialists (part of that projection) but some sort of global order where there is no superpower, more a community of interests acting collectively.<br /><br />For we are witnessing something bigger than USA - a breakout from the old superpower order into something formative which concerns the real and almost inevitable birth of a truly global order. At present this involves a collection of regional powers kicking sand in the face of the Late Great USA and piling onto the big bully to duff him up while he's going down. <br /><br />This in itself is a bit sad, since the true new world order does involve cooperation, not competition or dominance. But the nations of the world, gradually but also quickly freeing themselves from superpower domination aren't sure how to get out of their own competitive complexes. See the jostling and farting of Saudi Arabia, Russia, Brazil, India, China, EU and the middle powers of Turkey, Mexico, Indonesia, Egypt, Iran and the struggling of African nations for a place at the table.<br /><br />We've entered a long-ish process which might slot together better in the Ura-Nep-Pluto sextiles of the late 2020s and be tested at the Uranus opposition Pluto of the late 2040s.<br /><br />Or perhaps not... it's all in the balance, and perhaps America, with its Libran Saturn, could play a facilitating role in this if it just got off its superpower complex and made itself an ordinary, unexceptional big nation amongst many. Alternatively, perhaps only China can do it - Russia, India and EU can't, since they don't have sufficient solidity and respect to do it.<br /><br />Love, Palden<br />Palden Jenkinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05463527345931710086noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30912075.post-45902887237890203482014-04-06T00:39:04.683+01:002014-04-06T00:39:04.683+01:00Rich and famous AND the devil/evil one next door c...Rich and famous AND the devil/evil one next door could both be expressions of Pluto...WiseLaliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14942050182609017654noreply@blogger.com
