ON MARCH 1, 2020, NEW YORK CITY recorded its first case of what was called infection by a novel virus, said to have originated two months earlier from a fish market in Wuhan, China. The claim of infection was made using a molecular manufacturing tool called the PCR, or polymerase chain reaction. This device is designed to find and amplify fragments of genetic sequences in a human body which supposedly match those created by computer modeling. We don’t know who this person was or whether they had any symptoms. All we know is they are said to have tested “positive” using the PCR.
For more than 14 years, the PCR had been acknowledged by the federal government and medical establishment to generate false positive results up to 100% of the time — including being responsible for three separate false outbreaks. In fact, many scientists, including its inventor, Kary Mullis, have pointed out that the PCR is not a clinical diagnostic tool; its own documentation says that a “positive” result is not proof of infection.
Nonetheless, on March 8, just hours before a Mercury retrograde ended, New York’s Gov. Andrew Cuomo declared a statewide emergency, with just 76 PCR-“positives” in all of New York State, population 19.5 million.
Then, beginning at 5 pm on Friday, March 12 — the day before Pres. Trump declared a national emergency — Cuomo banned gatherings of more than 500 people and ordered all 41 Broadway theaters to shut down for the first time in history. New York’s theater industry — an engine of its tourism trade — draws about 14.8 million patrons a year. The order also shut down dozens of other sports and entertainment venues throughout New York City, wiping out much of the city’s economy with one signature.
To most people reading the news, the fact of the governor shutting down Broadway and the rest of New York’s world-famous entertainment and professional sports industries was proof enough of a serious problem. A governor would not do that if there was not something really bad happening.
Yet what scientific findings justified his decision, and further justified the shutdown of most of the United States economy, and those of the UK, Europe, Russia, Australia, Canada and New Zealand? And what does the astrology of these events say about what was done to the world? Let’s look at both.
The ‘Covid’ Aspect: Saturn Conjunct Pluto
To most astrologers, the aspect associated with what was called a coronavirus pandemic was Saturn conjunct Pluto in Capricorn. The conjunction, which happens about once every 38 years, was exact on Jan. 12, 2020. It was the “great reset” of the Saturn-Pluto cycle most famous in recent memory for its presence in the chart for Sept. 11, 2001.
The demolition of the World Trade Center and explosion at the Pentagon occurred at the Saturn-Pluto opposition of 2001-2002 (the planetary equivalent of the Full Moon phase). Nineteen years later, the two planets completed their 38-year cycle and formed a conjunction (the planetary equivalent of the New Moon phase). Many astrologers in 2019 had pointed out that we were back in a Saturn-Pluto era and that there could and probably would be some kind of event similar to Sept. 11.

Yet ahead of the Saturn-Pluto opposition of 2001-2002, no astrologer that I know had an inkling that every facet of life and the patterns of civilization would be irrevocably altered. One astrological calendar predicted a terrorist event specifically for Sept. 11, and American astrologer and historian Rob Hand predicted a war with Afghanistan. But none considered the potential for sweeping changes that would ensue.
Just ahead of “covid,” the dominant news involved the impeachment of a United States president — a rare and tragic enough event. That certainly fit the Saturn-Pluto pattern, particularly in the sign of government, and distracted most people from what was then a local story in China that they might have missed anyway. By the time “covid” broke the surface of the news in the United States a few weeks later, the story already had traction in the UK, Europe and Asia.
