Barbie was
introduced for the first time March 9, 1959, when Pluto had just entered
the sign of Virgo (the era of "perfectionism" was born).
Children, growing up with the"role model" of Barbie and Ken are
now the grown ups in the world, and think nothing of Botox and plastic
surgery (to stay looking like Barbie). Anorexia was the thing, and the
world of fashion today is determined by the Barby model. Shoes of Prada,
bags of Gucci, long slick hair, and first and foremost: "the perfect world of
design". We spend an incredible amount of money on FORM, it is the
outside form which has to be perfected. Perfectionism is the standard
set by the entire Pluto in Virgo generation. Perfection of form.
The unconscious imprinting at an early age of how the perfect woman
should look did not only have these shadow sides, the sixties were also
the years where "the family" no longer was the cornerstone of
society. The children born since then were not raised playing "father
and mother" with their dolls, they were raised with Barbies to
dress up and be fashionable, and with that maybe with the role model of the
perfect career woman rather than the motherly types. Dolls were
adults (to be dressed up) rather than baby-dolls for them.
The "normal"
family that once was, no longer exists. Children are being raised almost
outside of the family and in more and more collective ways. the East
tends towards individualism, the West towards collectivism these days.
We live in a world
of design and packaging. The Pluto-in-Libra generation is
the generation which invented the word "life-style" and they
will be confronted in the years to come with a square from Pluto in
Capricorn. Pluto may tend to uproot the outer forms of design and
packaging. November 27 Pluto will enter Capricorn to stay there
for years. Imaging will be pierced through, and a return to basics
may be what is in store. Change is truly upon us and not in the
least because Jupiter will enter Aquarius next year! (Which for
astrologers is not a bad sign!)
And another
"role model" for the age of Pisces also with Pluto in
Virgo:
the chart of
Jesus of Nazareth:
March 1,
-0006BC, 1.21 am LMT, Bethlehem, source: Don Jacobs
(Of all the thousands of charts of Jesus, this is the one I prefer).
I don't think there is an astrologer in the world who thinks that Jesus
was born December 25th, which was the celebration of the return of the
light after the Sun "stood still" for 3 days during the
wintersolstice, but there are people on the planet who still seem to
think that). The V/C Moon in Pisces, placed dominantly around the
IC is amongst others a perfect expression of having been born by
"immaculous conception". Apparently Don Jacobs knew about the
birth of the Christ consciousness (by way of an "immaculous
conception") possible in every man or woman and said that if
this happens to you, this chart is great to meditate upon. The
Pluto in Virgo bunch in the sixties was also born with Neptune in
Scorpio, just like in this chart. In this chart Neptune in the
11th house is a nice expression of the betrayal of one of his fisherman
(Neptune) friends, so to speak. The fact that Neptune is conjunct
the South Node indicates that this was a left over experience of a
previous life. The North Node ruler Venus in Pisces talks about the
forgiving attitude.
