    Hmmm, at first i thought Venus because of her rulership of Libra, then i thought of Saturn in Libra. I think homeostasis is related to the immune system, but don’t know how. Both part of the whole, no doubt. Isn’t most disease an imbalance causing a new balance to be achieved through homeostatic process? Now i’m wondering about how money can be thought of as blood (Mars) in the body politic, and whether it’s circulation is ruled by Uranus? Does this make sense to your as metaphor and template for understanding the elements of social action and reaction? Sorry if i’m being OT in a way that is not parallel to your article, i’m just finding this metaphor so pregnant i can’t let it go.

    Timely question,Brian. I would say homeostasis is an expression of Saturn in Libra.

    Cultural taboos reflect personal taboos and repressed subpersonalites, and vice versa. Which came first? We are one, but the hall of mirrors creates the illusion of vast numbers. Each labors under the impression of separation, which clouds the reality that our delusions are magnified by the hall of mirrors. Self-awareness is the key to shining light on the subpersons lurking in our psyches. Government would then clearly be a reflection of the Ego, thinking it’s in charge, all the while subject to forces it cannot understand, let alone control. Homeostasis occurs in the collective, too. And it is all that keeps us in balance, what rules homeostasis, Jessica? Thanks for your thoughts.

    I would like to think so, David. The chart for 9/11 (which I think you’re on to, Martin, though you lost me with the “Kenyan-born president” thing) does seem to suggest that the Uranus-Pluto square years will cause trouble for this national myth. But I don’t think there will be one-size-fits-all revelation(s). Rather, a small group of the populace who aren’t in denial will deepen their understanding of the way things really work, while the majority will continue to defend, with increasing energy and discomfort, the stories they are told.

    David,
    The phony 911 was to get the UNOCAL-designed pipe line across Afghanistan, for Caspian Sea/Kazakstan oil to market in China and India. Follow the path from the Caspian Sea on a map. Note that inside-connected Enron built a refinery and power plant just over the boarder in Pakistan.
    This is the biggest treason ever. Bombing started in Afghanistan with Merc retro, which may be aiding the grand cover-up. What may mean more to any expose’ is the coming U.S. Saturn return, though that may not expose the pipeline treason, but may expose our Kenyan born president. Fasten your seat belt, eh? Martin

    Hey Jessica,
    As a long time observer/student of celestial influence, I always look fwd to reading your intelligent, well developed and well written articles & posts. It seems to me, that there are more big elephants lurking in the room and maybe the biggest is the truth surrounding the events of 9/11. I can’t imagine that a world changing event of that magnitude will escape Pluto scrutiny / resolution. Pluto has been transiting back and forth over the Mars/So.Node conj. in the 9/11 event chart, but to date, there’s been no hint of revelation. Maybe we’ll have to wait ’till the Uranus sq. Pluto series over the next few years. Any thoughts?
