Toward Ecosophy

One thing to keep in mind regarding COVID is that the panic, at least, has so far seemed to correlate well with the Saturn-Pluto conjunctions. New cases are maxing out about 1-2 weeks after the exact conjunction, which suggests that the restrictions (which, after all, do reduce the spread) are imposed more or less at the conjunction itself. (Note that the reimposition of restrictions, where that happened at all, was much lighter in the June/July conjunction than i There are no more Saturn-Pluto conjunctions now until 2054 (and if JMG is right about Pluto, we just had the last one that "counts", ever).

Mind you, my prediction back in April about the virus settling down was wrong - for some reason it didn't occur to me that Saturn-Pluto tends not to "change its mind" during the same sequence of passes - but I've had divinations going back to the beginning of the pandemic that have been pretty consistently pointing to early February as the end of the whole thing - and I actually was asking about restrictions, not the pandemic itself. (That said, I was also asking about restrictions in my area, which have been consistently lighter than in some others. Bars are still open here, though I expect they'll reclose before Thanksgiving.)

I know it goes against the grain of what many people believe, but I find it hard to see draconian measures lasting very long once the whole Jupiter-Saturn-Pluto mess breaks up.
