Mad as Hell, and We’re Not Going to Take it Anymore!
New York police had just poured into Columbia University, clearing protesters out of an occupied campus building and arresting more than 100 people in a far-reaching crackdown at the epicenter of the nation’s uprisings over the war in Gaza.
But within hours of the police moves Tuesday night, Mahmoud Khalil, a pro-Palestinian student leader, said he and others were already planning their following action.
“Or actions,” said Khalil, foreshadowing the continued resolve of the movement. “Until we finish this semester and come back next semester.”

College administrators are hoping that the end of the school year will end the protests. Still, the activists are making plans for the summer and beyond.
Pluto at 2° Aquarius
I find it fascinating that all that is happening in the U.S. and around the world when transiting Pluto is on the second degree of Aquarius.
- Pluto reached the second degree of Aquarius on April 12, 2024. Students at Columbia University started protesting on April 17, 2024, calling for an end to the Israel-Hama war.
- By April 29, Pluto had finally reached 2°06’ Aquarius, and the protests had spread to college campuses all over the U.S.
- Then, on May 2, 2024, Pluto stationed retrograde at 2°06’ Aquarius. The police broke up the protests, the encampments dismantled, and students detained, but the protesters are still DEFIANT.
- Pluto Rx will stay on the second degree of Aquarius until May 24, 2024.
- Pluto returns to Capricorn on September 1, 2024, and stations direct in Capricorn on October 12, 2024.
- Pluto returns to Aquarius on November 19, 2024.
- Pluto will return to 2° Aquarius on January 30, 2025.
- Pluto leaves 2° Aquarius on March 5, 2025.
Sabian Symbols
Sabian symbols are a set of 360 phrases that correspond to the 360 degrees of the zodiac. Each symbol tells a story about the energy of the degree. They came into being when Dr. Marc Edmund Jones and Elsie May Wheeler, a gifted clairvoyant, conducted an experiment on interpreting the 360 degrees of the zodiac. Read The Origin and History of the Sabian Symbols.
In his book The Sabian Symbols in Astrology, Dr. Marc Edmund Jones provides the official meaning of each Sabian symbol.
Sabian Symbol for Aquarius 2-3°: A deserter from the navy
This is a symbol of human independence carried to a point of extreme rebellion against things as they are, here emphasized in a disregard of all consequences for the sake of an immediate liberation of the spirit. There is a demand for a more rewarding expression of individuality, and the reversed symbolism suggests that any late acceptance of full and personal responsibility for life is better than none at all. Except as man creates his own allegiances, his destiny holds no depth.
The keyword is DEFIANCE.
