“All social rules and all relations between individuals are eroded by a cash economy, avarice drags Pluto himself out of the bowels of the earth.” – Karl Marx

“Oh let me see Pluto
It seems such a gas
With oceans of methane
And petrified grass

Let's go to Pluto
Let's live on the dot
See the bad moon rising
In a lunacy knot”
-The Creatures, “Pluto Drive”


Well folks we've reached the end of our solar system by finally alighting upon the most controversial of planets, I mean moons, I mean asteroids, whatever you would like to call it - PLUTO. I may not be able to prove to many of you my vocal insistence that yes indeedy, Pluto is not only a planet but is a major component of the human psyche, but withhold all immediate arguments until you've read this announcement in its entirety.

Pluto is named for the god of the underworld in Roman mythology (Hades in Greek). Whenever Pluto needed to travel to the domain of the living, he always wore his trusty invisible helmet. This will all tie in, trust me. Pluto rules the domain of death, and it's placement in one's chart as well as the 8th house is an area where we will be "destroyed" in order to experience transformative change. Besides the obvious task of destruction and pillaging, Pluto also rules anything that is core but hidden beneath the surface. It is in recent years that astrologers have given Pluto the prominence it deserves because it's placement is an area that is of very very small size but is of massively intense concentration - our most powerful subconscious drives that many of us have no control over. Pluto wore that invisible helmet because like the subconscious it goes sight unseen for quite a long time until some trivial thing triggers it and then all hell breaks loose - literally.
Through Freud and Jung and other pioneering psychologists, modern man has realized that the subconscious is a force unto itself and if left ignored or undetected, it can take hold of us - making us utterly powerless to control it and dominating every facet of the life until it is conquered. The same can be said with that chunk of ice we actually call Pluto, when a space probe finally reaches the outermost satellite of our Sun, I'm very sure they will be shocked that although small in diameter the actual stuff that Pluto is made of is of the thickest density!

If you still are not amused, consider this - Pluto rules the underworld in general, which includes the Mafia, it also rules fascism or anarchy type establishments as well as sexual or taboo power. With that said, is it no coincidence that Pluto was discovered in 1931 - when, in the United States the Mafia clans were brutally trying to claim dominance over the post Prohibition markets as well as the Hollywood censors were on a free for all to cover up the blatant sexuality and bawdiness American films had in the decadent 20's while in Europe, Hitler and Mussolini were beginning their ascent of fascist totalitarianism and tyranny.)
Enough said!

So join me won’t you? Or else Nemesis will come a knocking……..

“Priests and cannibals, prehistoric animals
Everybody happy as the dead come home
Big Black Nemesis, parthenogenesis
No one move a muscle as the dead come home”
-Shriekback, “Nemesis”
