Pluto in Gemini & the Rise of Rockefeller Medicine
Today’s inspiration: Mercola article, New Paradigm for Healing Focus & Cellular Health
Initial thoughts: The mindset of the now-mature generation of the Pluto in Virgo era? This, alongside DNA medicine and gene obsession. Analyze and control the little things to stave off death and destruction and (mistakenly mostly) confer health.
Further thoughts: Looking into era of Rise of Rockefeller medicine era —> Pluto in Gemini … hmm, what energy might that be about? Local travel, trade, trade… Stories, lies, lies… Gemini twins, trickster energy… Commerce —> And where might there be a fear of death, a fear of destruction? How about “products, trade, commerce, product purchases”? Snake oil…. Certainly people were harmed and killed by so-called snake oil. AND THE SAME IS TRUE TODAY (we just call it pharmaceuticals).
So those people looking for power saw opportunity in becoming the power of trading with people in ideas and stories and products against the fear of death from products. The era may have started with charlatans selling snake oil and seances (local communication with the dead, people in Pluto’s realm!). The era ended with Rockefeller’s takeover of “medicine,” putting naturopathic schools out of business in order to PEDDLE their own brand of snake OIL, petrochemical-based meds. They said (and maybe believed) they were raising standards. ??? [PT Barnum pops into my head now … "You can fool some of the people some of the time…”]
The idea of reflecting on an era by considering the start and end of that era is something I’m learning by being conscious of the Pluto in Capricorn era that has now ended (the effects still being felt due to the US 2024 presidential election happening in P-in-Capricorn, yet the inauguration had P-in-Aquarius (ref the Tech Bros in the front row of the inauguration). Beginning of P-in-C: 2008 stock market crash, WALL STREET BAILOUT, giving rise to Tea Party and Occupy Wall Street. Ron Johnson, on The MAGA Podcast, suggested they were the same interests, just expressed through Right and Left political wings - shame they couldn’t come together to enact change - “divide to rule”. So we get to the end of P-in-C and has there been corporate rulership change? No. In fact, it’s worse. Covid was a scam that make those in the know and in the process much richer. Trump named numerous big-money players to his cabinet. DOGE is, yes, attempting to make gov’t more financially efficient (necessary), but it also looks the same as when a company is on the verge of going bankrupt. Strip the excess. Take all the profits you can for yourself (into private coffers). Death by greedy, self-serving corporatists.
BTW, “The Supreme Court ruled in 1911 that Standard Oil must be dismantled for violation of federal antitrust laws.“ (Wikipedia) So, perhaps pissed off that his oil empire was being taken apart (FYI, some of the smaller companies each became huge companies in their own right, so more wealth), JDR re-channeled his monopolistic, empire-building energy into monopolizing his power and control of other industries. In 1910 we had the Flexner Report, funded by the Carnegie Foundation…
BTW, the RAILWAY BARONS made their fortunes during this era, the power of transport and commerce. Pluto in Gemini.
