How can Astrology help us understand and navigate the political landscape and bigger cultural and social phenomena of our time?

This is a question that drives the scholarship and offerings of Hummingbird, an astrologer, content creator, and creator of Astrology for the Revolution.

In this conversation we explore some profound and provocative themes, particularly around the archetype and influence of Pluto, planet of death, destruction, the unconscious, rebirth, and transformation. We look at:

- the manifestation and implications of the Pluto Returns of the United States - Pluto in the rise of the global military industrial complex and tech companies - Understanding the uprising for Black Lives - and its backlash - through Plutonian astrology - Plutonian themes currently unfolding in the genocide of Palestinian peoples in Gaza - what Pluto wakes up and calls forth in us, as individuals and collectively - how to use astrology as both "map" and "weather report" to navigate these times

Hummingbird (she/her) is a white, half-Jewish cis woman, based in land originally stewarded by the Tutelo peoples, today known as the Blue Ridge Mountains in southwest Virginia. She is an astrologer specializing in political analysis through an astrological lens in service to activists, movement workers and those concerned with where we find ourselves in this unique moment in history. She is the creator of Astrology for the Revolution: "an astro-political education that will transform your relationship to our dire historical moment—and to your unique role in it."
