The Birth of Neoliberalism
Reagan and Thatcher's economic revolution. The Falklands War. The AIDS crisis emerged. The Lebanese Civil War escalated. The foundations of globalisation and financialisation were laid. Organised labour's power began its long decline. The social contract between capital and labour that had held since the 1940s was fundamentally restructured — the balance (Libra) tipped permanently toward capital.
The Sky: Saturn conjunct Pluto in Libra
Saturn-Pluto in Libra: the restructuring of partnerships, alliances, and the social contract. The balance of power between labour and capital shifted permanently toward capital. International alliances (Libra) were restructured around economic rather than ideological lines. The same sign placement (Libra) as the nuclear balance — but now applied to economic power.
