During the seventies, women were on the frontiers of cultural change. It was a heady time, where the definitions of a woman\u2019s role in society were scrutinized, debated and contested. Pluto was in Libra speaking about our fears about our social relationships.<\/p>\n
Erica Jong\u2019s work, \u201cFear of Flying\u201d came out at the time. The protagonist, Isadora Wing, went on quest, though she herself did not see it that way, to face her fears regarding life and her relationships through a sexual romp through Europe. She fantasized about anonymous sexual encounters coining a term that is a little too graphic for this Venus in Capricorn gal. Yet she glorified it for these reasons:<\/p>\n
[It} is absolutely pure. It is free of ulterior motives. There is no power game. The man is not “taking” and the woman is not “giving.” No one is attempting to cuckold a husband or humiliate a wife. No one is trying to prove anything or get anything out of anyone. [It] is the purest thing there is. And it is rarer than the unicorn. And I have never had one.<\/i><\/p>\n
Such a declaration was social heresy at the time. The fear was that if women broke from their proscribed roles, were actually free to pursue sexual relationships as they desired, society itself would fail.<\/p>\n
That, of course, never happened. Despite the free wheeling sexuality of some notable celebrities, the wedding business is still booming and the divorce lawyers still have lots of business. But this is one aspect of Pluto, to magnify our fears.<\/p>\n
Saturn in health conscious Virgo has been in an out of sign square to Pluto in Capricorn since September. During this time we\u2019ve been wrangling with national health care reform and have yet come to a consensus. There is a lot of fear talk centered on this debate, which is a function of Saturn. One of the talking fear points centered on so called \u201cdeath panels\u201d reflecting a fear of dying of which the Saturn\/Pluto square speaks. As Saturn moves into Libra and the challenge to and from Pluto becomes more acute, our fear of dying will be kicked into high gear. From Health Care reform to the U. S. Financial crisis, no matter what happens, we need to remember \u201cthe only thing we have to fear is fear itself.\u201d Society is not going to fail and the world is not going to end. As Saturn in Libra tells us, don’t let your fear of dying guide your actions. Act on the facts, not your emotions.<\/p>\n
