But does this describe “blogging?” I don’t think so. Blogging is essentially self-publishing. Publishing is a Sagittarius thing. You know, “Go tell it on the mountain.” Blurt out your truth! So I would look at Pluto’s transit through Sagittarius to describe and explain the blogging phenomenon. So what’s that mean?
Well, with Pluto, things “erupt.” For example, when Pluto was in Scorpio (sex, death, taboo), it was all about incest and repressed memories. This stuff was on the cover of every magazine. You could not escape it.
Then came AIDS. Another eruption. And here’s my point.
Pluto left Scorpio and there is still AIDS and there is still incest. They are not new news, but they are part of the landscape now. And this is what I think the future holds for blogging.
I think blogging has erupted like a volcano. And the lava flies, right? But when it hardens the way it does, the landscape is altered. Did beanie babies alter the landscape? No.
So there you go. Blogging is not a fad. I think it's here to stay. What do you think?
