Health Care, History, Astrology and Medicare

A little history, a little astrology and some food for thought as it pertains to health care legislation.
On July 30 1965, President Lyndon Johnson signed an amendment to the Social Security Act that created Medicare. There was a hue and cry then against socialism as there is now. At that time, in the sky, Pluto and Uranus were together in Virgo with Saturn opposing in Pisces. The Pisces/Virgo axis in astrology rules health, both physical and mental, hospital, diet, nutrition, Doctors, Nurses and the caring and nurturing professions. Thirty years later, under the Clinton administration, Saturn was in Pisces (back where it was in 1965) reactivating the Pluto/Uranus points of the mid 60’s. Clinton tried to reform health care but failed. Today, once again the big news is health care and we find Saturn in Virgo, opposite the position it held in 1965 and hitting the Uranus/Pluto conjunction points active then as well. Uranus, now in Pisces, is triggering those degrees and is in opposition to Saturn as it was in 1965. Astrology is the study of cycles. When a rare conjunction like the Pluto/Uranus one of the 60’s occurs it is like planting a seed for what will become a mighty oak. The events occurring then are reignited when the slower moving planets form angles or aspects to the original point or degree of the Zodiac. Pluto, now in the early degrees of Capricorn does not hit those Medicare degrees until 2016. Pluto changes everything it touches and those changes evolve slowly. Health care reform will not be an easy fight or easy victory. Pluto moving slowly into those critical degrees indicate powerful influences at work. Pluto rules giant corporations as well as masses of people. Pluto has a hand in great sociological upheavals. One thing is for sure, by 2016, things will be very different and it remains to be seen who will win this one, the people or the giant corporations.
