The bitter, crushing poverty of Appalachia is a preview of what is coming to the entire USA




What do you say to people that have completely lost all hope that things will ever get any better? The mountains of Appalachia stretch all the way from southern New York to northern Mississippi, and nestled within those mountains are dozens upon dozens of little towns that are so impoverished that they look like they have been through a war. Thanks to Barack Obama's relentless assault on the coal industry and the ongoing collapse of our industrial infrastructure, Appalachia has lost millions of good paying jobs over the past several decades.

Today, more than 40 percent of the population is living in poverty in some areas of eastern Kentucky, and addiction to "hillbilly heroin" (Oxycontin) is absolutely out of control throughout the region. Yes, poverty is on the rise all over America, but it has especially been cruel to those that make the mountains of Appalachia their home.

An article that was published in the Guardian on Thursday profiled the deeply impoverished town of Beattyville in eastern Kentucky. Life is very hard in Beattyville today, and it seems to be getting harder all the time. Nov.12






Among those who have little or no practical experience with the science of the stars, it is probable that the subject is believed to begin and end with the calculation and interpretation of the horoscope of birth. Important as Natal Astrology is, however, it might easily be argued that there is another branch surpassing it in value and interest, namely that which is called Mundane or National Astrology.  Mundane Astrology is the study of the effects of Ingresses, New Moons, Eclipses, planetary conjunctions and similar celestial phenomena, as applied not to individuals but to nations and large communities of people.

In this post we shall see how the chart for the Sun’s entry into sidereal Libra at Beattyville contains a hint of its decline.  Notice Pluto is in the 2nd house opposite the TNPs Kronos-Hades in the 8th. The 2nd and 8th houses rule the financial status of a community [1][2].  Lynn Hayes summarizes the meaning of Pluto’s transit through Capricorn.

One of the things I believe we’ll be facing over the next few years as Pluto travels through Capricorn is the erosion of the structures that support our human lives on the planet. Bridges, tunnels, buildings – all are ruled by Capricorn and subject to transformation while in Pluto’s domain. http://astrodynamics.net/9970/

In addition let us remember that Pluto rules the coal mining industry  as well as obsolescence and therefore correctly reflects what is happening in the mining towns of the Appalachian mountains. The picture becomes complete if we add the delineation for the elements involved.

Pluto-Hades:  to recognize how poverty, lack, depression can create upheaval.





If we progress the Ingress chart to Nov.12, the date of the news, the Pluto-Kronos-Hades opposition aligns with the horizon axis and is thereby triggered.
