Sun Aquarius - Moon Gemini: We the People Are Of Two Minds ~ Jude Cowell

January 21, 2013 at 12:00 p.m. in Washington, DC


On Inauguration morning, the Moon will enter Gemini where it will conjunct Jupiter, trine the Sun, and sextile Jupiter. At sunset, the Moon and Jupiter will be conjunct in the sky,“Get ready for closest Moon-Jupiter conjunction until 2026?



Aquarius Pluto is about the ideas of equality and liberty. 1778-1798, 2024-2044

Pluto in Aquarius changes the system, and a society. People who have this placement are motivated by seeing themselves outside, or above the status quo system, inclined to alter it in order to change human social interactions on a national and international scale.

Robots replacing workers:

Once human cognition is replaced, what else have we got? For the ultimate extreme example, imagine a robot that costs $5 to manufacture and can do everything you do, only better. You would be as obsolete as a horse.

Now, humans will never be completely replaced, like horses were. Horses have no property rights or reproductive rights, nor the intelligence to enter into contracts. There will always be something for humans to do for money. But it is quite possible that workers' share of what society produces will continue to go down and down, as our economy becomes more and more capital-intensive. 

This possibility is increasingly the subject of discussion among economists. Erik Brynjolfsson has written a book about it, and economists like Paul Krugman and Tyler Cowen are talking about it more and more ( huge collection of links, courtesy of blogger Izabella Kaminska - LINK ).

In the academic literature, the theory goes by the name of "capital-biased technological change."
