The Arab Spring Aftermath & Rise of Populism
The Occupy Movement, the Syrian Civil War, the Eurozone crisis, Edward Snowden's revelations, the rise of ISIS, the smartphone revolution, and the first stirrings of the populist movements that would reshape Western politics. The revolutionary energy (Uranus in Aries) clashed with entrenched power (Pluto in Capricorn) in a series of crises that redefined political discourse globally.
The Sky: Uranus square Pluto (Aries/Capricorn)
Uranus-Pluto squares are the crisis points of the ~127-year Uranus-Pluto cycle. The seeds of the 1960s conjunction faced their first major test. The previous square (1932–34) saw the Great Depression and the rise of fascism. This one produced digital populism and the erosion of institutional trust — a different revolution, but the same fundamental energy.
