Now this may be personal to me, but that’s why I’m asking. I have noticed various shifts since Jupiter left Scorpio for Sagittarius and here’s another. I have absolutely had it with the gossip industry. I am just sick to death of the negativity. I am sick of hearing about who is fat, who is thin, who is doing who and most of all, I am sick of the publishing (Jupiter) of the genitals (Scorpio) of starlets. Aren’t you?

I am tired of reading the dirt on everybody, all the time. I am looking for things higher-minded these days. We’ve still got Pluto (the dirt) in Sagittarius (Publishing) but not for long. I think this gossip gig is about up, and what about you?

Do you think gossip is still in vogue or is your attention shifting?

The wide variety and copious amount of pornography available these days I would also chock up to Pluto in Sadge. When Pluto moves through a sign, we see the shadow side if the things it rules. It’s the publishing (Sagittarius) of that which is private (Pluto), on a wide scale (Sagittarius). Taboo sex (Pluto) is especially large (Jupiter). Publish the shadow side. Broadcast it!

And along with the other manifestations of Pluto through Sagittarius, none of this is new. The performance enhancing drugs (shadow side of Sagittarius ruled sports) the doctored photographs and the plagiarism….and the made up non fiction books, ala “Million Little Pieces” (shadow side of publishing) and pedophile priests (shadow side of religion) are not new. This has just come to the front at this time, and in a big way, because we’re talkin’ Sadge here.

So porn is always a hot topic on this blog. And sure enough there is another one of those questions coming up, but for those who are having problems…people married to porn addicts for examples, who are being told that porn is here to stay, well I think that’s right. However, I think its popularity has nearly peaked.

Right now it sort of the soup de jour. But when Pluto leaves Sadge…well, people will have reached a point of saturation. They will start to see that making a career of, making a life of watching porn and defending their right to watch porn will becom passÆ’

The Double Libra surfaces, here. I think cooooool she did. People amaze me. I love this blog.

Also, Lise commented on the Pluto in Sagittarius post, regarding the Harvard student/author/plagiarizer that it would interesting to see what form her rebirth took, as if “rebirth” is a given. I don’t think it is. Many people go down and stay down. Rising from the ashes takes skills. And as an example, check OJ Simpson. Did he have a rebirth? Hell no.

When I think of OJ, I think of my mother. She used to say you’re in big trouble “when decent people don’t want anything to do with you.” And I think that describes OJ.

But back to Kaavya Viswanathan, I do think the story is very interesting, as is what people have to sat about it, here (blogcritics), here (blogcritics, and in contrast to the Frey debacle) and here (Miss Snark!)
