It is my belief as a geopolitical astrological thinker, that No Moment in Time “captures” the entirety of the truth of the historical evolution; but rather, is a culmination point that symbolically recognizes the penetrating truth of one-thousand related sequenced events. These events must be studied in their wholistic entirety over a Plutonian cycle to a precise point (in this case 0 degrees Capricorn) to understand clearly the radical shifts occurring at the underbelly of societal geopolitical cycles of transformation.

Great additions, thank you..I’m with my sister Kate in Sag Harbor..

“potential doom hanging overhead”

Indeed!

Also to be considered for the chart of the Jupiter/Neptune conjunction is the placement of several significant minor bodies – of course centaur Chiron, with its connections to healing, is exactly conjunct, but asteroid Apollo, named for the Greek god of healing, is tightly squared at 25 Taurus, and asteroid Panacea, goddess of medicines, is exactly inconjunct from 26 Cancer. The nature of the debate, focusing on fear and deception (Neptune) and bombast (Jupiter)is inherent in the conjunction itself, but also colored by asteroid Pandora, the unleashing of unexpected consequences, closely conjoined at 27 Aquarius, and damocloid Damocles, the potential doom hanging overhead, which is approaching at 21 Aquarius.

Thanks again for a most informative and thoughtful post!

I, personally, am wondering, at this juncture, what the cardinal t-square with Saturn in Libra may add to (or detract from) these possibilities of restoring equity. Could Saturn, exalted in Libra, possibly play the good guy here in substantiating more equitable practices that liberate the many oppressed from the thoughtless greed of the few? (Mainly the top .01 % who rarely pay any taxes at all?)

Without some action being taken at this time (end October, 2009 – 2010), we may be in store for intense protests and/or revolutionary acts (Uranus moves into Aries squaring Pluto–their first major connection since the conjunction in the sixties during a time of great social unrest).

Here’s something I just read about the uneven distribution of wealth, surely one key indicator of the state of societal ills that Aquarius is destined to change:
“Income inequality in the United States is at an all-time high, surpassing even levels seen during the Great Depression, according to a recently updated paper by University of California, Berkeley Professor Emmanuel Saez. The paper, which covers data through 2007, points to a staggering, unprecedented disparity in American incomes. On his blog, Nobel prize-winning economist and New York Times columnist Paul Krugman called the numbers ‘truly amazing.’ ”
