Correlations

Delia starts us off by offering a meta-perspective on how all the charts to be examed today relate to the exact Saturn-Pluto sextile in the sky. Chad begins with looking at the chart of Oscar Pistorius, the South African Olympiad "Blade Runner" accused of murdering his girlfriend, Reeva Steenkamp, on Valentine's Day. Next we discuss the resignation of Pope Benedict XVI, Joseph Ratzinger, and the Vatican sexual abuse scandal. Next Matthew shares the incredible story of Shin Dong-hyuk, a North Korean who was born into slavery in a secret concentration camp and lived a life of torture for 23 years until he escaped and was able to tell his story. Finally Delia shares the chart of Brene Brown, whose research on vulnerability and shame and their links to creativity, connectedness and joy went viral on the TED Talk series, and offers a possible avenue of healing for the civil rights abuses that an unchecked patriarchal culture have created.
