A Symptom of the Age of Aquarius: The Current State of US Politics & Culture.Bipartisanship is dead. Freedom of speech is dead. Liberals are crazy. Conservatives are racist. SJWs. Tea Party Movement. Black Lives Matter. Standing Rock. Abortion. Trump as President. #notmypresident. Feminism. Respectability Politics. Police Brutality. Conspiracy Theories. Oppression Olympics. White Privilege. Tomi Lahren. LGBTQ-Trans Rights!! Occupy Wall Street. Revolution. Resistance. Blah Blah Blah. A lot of wild things have been brewing in American Politics and Culture for years. I’m confused by all of this. Even so, the more I think about it the more it seems to be a Symptom of the Age of Aquarius. As some of you know we are in the Age of Aquarius now. I don’t know if it’s full fledge but I honestly think that perhaps the age of Aquarius started in the 1960s. The dates of the Age of Aquarius is very debatable and not even sure. Regardless we are at least at the beginning of the Age of Aquarius and with that adjustments need to be made. A lot of us like to think that during the Age of Aquarius everyone is going to be on some hippy dippy We are the World, One Love, give peace a chance type **** . But that’s not necessarily true or the reality (as of now anyway). We are in transition. Aquarius is a fixed sign and hence stubborn and inflexible. As open-minded and tolerant Aquarius is, it is set in its beliefs and convictions. Which is what I think is playing out now in the world. Certain populations and groups of people are tapped into the collective consciousness and are mad as hell. Remember Pluto in Scorpio generation are of age and is taking control now, so there’s this intense concentration of energy that is acting out. The world’s ****** up, I am ****** up, you are ****** up, we need to change everything now mentality. The internal fixed energy in a generation of souls, reinforced by Age of Aquarius energy battling all the other energies (aka the older Pluto generations, Pluto in Cancer, Leo, Virgo, and Libra) and also fighting the remnants of the Age of Pisces (organized religion, believing what we were/are told, relying on the fragile, vulnerability of faith, etc.) So there’s a sense of urgency, a sense of purpose, and also a sense of fixidity/dogmatic stubbornness that is very Aquarian. Of course it’s more nuanced than this. Factor in transpersonal planetary transits including Saturn in Scorpio, Saturn in Sagittarius (2014-2017), Pluto in Capricorn (2008-2025) and Neptune in Pisces (2011-2018). Energy wise it’s this big cluster **** of WTF. I’m right, you’re wrong shut up. No one wants to talk, or listen. All this is self-interest and selfishness (which isn’t bad at all). BUT then factor in the crisis of faith that Saturn in Sagittarius squaring Neptune in Pisces and it becomes this delusional slush of insanity. That makes of us want to hold on to something (like beliefs, values) for dear life before we fear melting into a pile of existential bile. Imma stop before this gets to ramble-ly . I hope you get what I am saying. #WOKEAF Blog Post link: http://theastrofiend.blogspot.com/2017/05/a-symptom-of-age-of-aquarius-current.html ------------------ Hi everyone, I am blogger known as Astrofiend or @strofiend Here’s my blog link: http://theastrofiend.blogspot.com/ I also have a Facebook page.

Great post. As a Pluto in Scorpio generational I absolutely agree with this- Aquarius is a fixed sign and hence stubborn and inflexible. As open-minded and tolerant Aquarius is, it is set in its beliefs and convictions. Which is what I think is playing out now in the world.

Me myself find someone more interesting that gives his mittle finger to the NatoGlobalEnviromentTreaty, more interesting than someone that says this Natoglobalenviromentthinky, is very important. NatoglobalenvrimontentTreaty? realy??? Capitalism my friend dose not retreat or steps back in a act of humbleness.

Ofcourse he is! He has Sun conjunct Uranus and Northnode in Gemini in the 10H, he is destined to shake up the system and start a war against the BS biased manipulative mainstream media! The hatred towards him is very public and has been televised of which he is a victim of and he has Sun conjunct Dejanira in the 10H, not a coincidence. Because his sun conjuncts dejanira people keep underestimating him and probably have his whole life but Dejanira is a warrior after all and with Mars on the AC he will not back down, he will fight and he will win. In fact underestimate him again and watch him win again. He puts the interests and safety of his country first (moon in the 4H trine Mars conjunct AC and venus in cancer). His Mars on the AC makes him look like nothing can hurt him but he has moon in the 4H and is actually very sensitive. The way I see it, he is the one been bullied for been different and blunt due to having moon in sag and Mars on the AC, bullied for daring to actually protect the interests of the United States and stand up against globalism.

I assume you mean "Radical Feminist" mode. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radical_feminism Its very important to make the distinction between "radical feminists" and feminist that want equality. Normally, I would avoid saying this especially on a female dominated site such as lindaland. But most of the members were born in the 50's and 60's so I assume they would tend to agree. The 3rd wave or modern feminist never experienced the setbacks women endured in the 60's and use it as an excuse to have everything subsidized and aren't for equality, but to promote themselves. The feminist that want equality are the ones that exist in places such as Saudi Arabia were women rights is clearly denied. In western society its almost equal, so theres not so much of a need. Anyway, nobody likes "radical feminist". Females don't like them because they sabotage what 2nd wave feminist achieved while lessing the cause and males don't like them because they want to destroy the male gender. Very import to make the distinguished between the two. I post this there too because Radical Feminism is also a big global threat. But, of course it depends on who you hang around with. This is were I will sound like a foul mouthed Gemini. Most radical feminist are young 19-24, working at Starbucks earning a useless BA in English, sociology or history without much thought of how the real world works or how to connect the dots and "navigate" themselves in the world.

The way I see it, social media has made it all too easy for anyone with a grudge (or who feel that claiming victim status entitles them to special privileges and authority) to rant and thus gain fans and detractors. That which polarizes through all too simple extremes is also useful for getting people angry rather than talking intelligently about something. Basic psychology will make this approach more popular among the general population than something well thought out or academic, which is why the quality of the news continues to go down the toilet with click bait headlines, because that's what sells. We live in a capitalist society, not an ethical one, and if ethics and integrity are allowed to trump selling the most then at best it is likely to be less successful than the ones in the mud, and may even be seen as "robbing the shareholders." Many political types (including feminism) have always had the angry, obnoxious kind filled with more bluster than sense. But those who feel all entitled and/or define themselves as a victim are inherently self-defeating when it takes work to accomplish something, so for the most part they were a minority (at least they normally weren't the ones to get published, to arrange effective voting drives, etc). But now any stupid ******* (often entitled to boot) can rant on twitter or YT and get a following, and Google will actually encourage those types to be visited as they can sell more advertising space. I had an epiphany not too long ago. Someone sent me a "feminist video" for my comment on it and it was the most idiotic trash I ever came across. If I believed in a literal Patriarchy designed to keep women down then I'd say this neo-feminism (one that seems to believe being female is a mental and physical disability, though they don't call it that, and often live up to straw feminist tropes as well as come down hard on better types of feminism that no longer seems mainstream as it used to be) that seems dominant now is their most diabolical plot designed to destroy feminism in the name of feminism.
But then I saw it had MILLIONS of views. And to the side were many reply videos as well as a ton of hate comments...and I checked, it was thick with ads, and so these videos were major money makers. I actually suspect those women (because it seems these days only women can be feminists, another parallel with misogynists who confuse a political ideology with a gender) were paid actresses rather than the feminists they claimed to be. Whether they were paid actresses as I suspect, or if the video maker simply found women so sheltered in "safe spaces" for so long that they've lost the ability to realize how ridiculous they've become, it's clear to me that capitalism has made feminism (and also anti-feminism) its ***** and pimps it on YT and twitter in the current form. And that applies to so many other political and ideological causes, on both the left and the right, and otherwise. But since the internet has facilitated this change (to the extreme it currently exists as) then I can see it being called a symptom of the age of Aquarius. IP: Logged |

No, but thats what there defined as the same as with PixieJanes post. If you find a so called feminist that wines but has no basis there a "radical feminist", again they distort and ruin the genuine feminist that want equality for all.

Oh yeah, I've met radical Feminists, and some of them are crazy! At the least severe, the radical Fems are just attention getting. A reason why people are going against the Social Justice Warrior movement these days. The positive term and positive side of Social Justice Warrior is Social Progressive (s). I guess you could say radical Social Progressives are Social Justice Warriors, and Social Progressives are the 'good' ones. IP: Logged |

I also think about this lately. I sayd that Feminism was made for the people not the people for feminism also haha But what i like is a story of a nomadic tribe where the man wined about how life would be more confterble on the city, when they asked why they would not just go there. They told that the women where the ones behind the cooking pot. I guess Women are the ones that get more affected with this rupture from nature @hypatia, I like this idea with trump @DualGem, nice reading, but my story with girls is complicated, it is difficult for me to trust them. like i trust them, but it is always the same story..
