You might recall I asked about the slow grind to victory of the current conservative movement in the US on a previous Magic Monday. The general thinking seemed to be that Saturn was involved due to (I may be misunderstanding) the plodding pace and political stability as lawsuits reach the Supreme Court, legislatures change parties one seat at a time, and whole demographics jump ship… er… party.
My view here in Flyover Country is rather like the folktale about generations of farmers carrying away a pebble every day from the base of the warlord’s mountain until the mountain was no more. The people are quite self-aware, and the heat of their smoldering anger is directed into action by a racial memory of cockeyed optimism.
Given all that, does the date of the first broadcast of the Rush Limbaugh Show at noon on 1 August 1988 from ABC Radio in New York City make a reasonable birthday for the modern conservative movement?
I don’t know much about astrology, so a few words about how the date does or does not connect to or fit the events and trends mentioned would be very helpful.
