Hermetic astrology teaches that the events people experience are the off-spring of their not-conscious desires exerting psychokinetic power in an environmental setting.
In accordance with their vibratory quality not-conscious thoughts and feelings, which commonly express as conscious thoughts and behavior, attract fortunate and unfortunate events. The event that occurs always matches the quality or functional status of its not-conscious thought parent.
On the world stage any organization of people functioning under a common governing authority constitutes an entity. And the collective quality of the organization’s not-conscious thoughts and feelings exerts psychokinetic power to attract fortunate or unfortunate events that affect the whole organization.
In natal astrology the application of Hermetic astrology to an almost accurate birth chart is the only way to reliably determine the functional status of the not-conscious thinking. And in global astrology the application of Hermetic astrology to in-sky and other chart data is the only way to reliably determine the functional status of an entity’s not-conscious collective thinking.
Major international events occur when the inner-astral-plane weather mapped by the planets in the sky, global charts and key individual birth charts and the outer- plane physical circumstances synchronize.
September 11, 2001
On September 11, 2001 America was attacked by Al-Qaeda operatives who flew planes into the World Trade Center in New York and Pentagon near Washington, DC. It was a dark day of unimaginable horror that shocked America and the world.
The exact number of victims is not definitely known however the official death toll is now set at 2,977 people. At the World Trade Center 2,753 people died, of whom 343 were firefighters. The death toll at the Pentagon was 184, and 40 individuals died outside Shanksville, Pennsylvania.
The entity behind the attacks was al-Qaeda a broad-based militant Islamist organization founded in the late 1980s by Osama bin Laden. It recruited Muslim fighters through the Islamic world and dispersed in 1989, but its leaders continued to oppose what they considered corrupt Islamic regimes and the foreign presence (the US) in Islamic lands. In around 1996 the group reestablished its headquarters in Afghanistan under the patronage of the Taliban militia. On several occasions its leaders declared holy war against the United States.
The September 11 attacks were masterminded by Osama bin Laden. Their operational planner was Khalid Sheikh Mohammed. Mohammad Atta was selected to head the operation. He and 18 other terrorists, most of whom were from Saudi Arabia, established themselves in the US, where some received commercial flight training. All died in the attacks.
Within weeks of 9/11 the US government – the other entity involved – responded by attacking Taliban and al-Qaeda forces in Afghanistan. Thousands of militants were killed or captured, among them several key members including Khalid Sheikh Mohammed. The remaining leaders were driven into hiding. Osama bin Laden was killed on May 2, 2011 by US military forces
Chances are you have vivid memories of the destruction of the Twin Towers. Since then the 9/11 terror attacks have been over analyzed, documented and summarized by historians and commentators. Here’s how Hermetic astrology, by referencing in-sky and other key chart data, explains the terror event that America experienced on September 11, 2001.
Pluto
Pluto – or rather Lower-Pluto – has its fingerprints all over 9/11.
The discovery of Pluto on February 18, 1930 heralded the start of the Pluto Period of the Aquarian Age and a mighty battle between the freedom-fighters, progressive libertarians and forces of light and the authoritarian tyrants, academic dictators and forces of darkness. Through terror, fear, dread, coercive control, repression of rights, misinformation, suppression of facts and atheistic materialism Lower-Pluto is intent on stifling spiritual progress.
On 9/11 Pluto in the sky – the planet of division, inversion and drastic events – was in Sagittarius – the sign ruling religion. It signed for a morally challenging time and from November 1995 to November 2008 made it easy for Lower-Pluto’s cohorts here on Earth to attain its ends through religious sanctioned hate and terror, the inversion of religious teachings, divisions within the Church and the glorification of DNA and gene worship.
On 9/11 Saturn in the sky was opposition Pluto in Sagittarius.
This high-discord energy-event started in May 2001 and reached peak power August 5, 2001, November 2, 2001 and May 26, 2002 but peak power times from the ephemeris makers vary widely so charts are uncertain. The Complete Ephemeris gives 6.04am GMT for the November 2 Saturn-Pluto opposition – The American Ephemeris gives 5.51am GMT – and the 6.04am computer calculated chart has Saturn and Pluto a minute from perfect. Yet the chart for Washington does provide reliable event data in more ways than one.
Saturn opposition Pluto November 2, 2001 – Washington
Chart data is November 2, 2001 at 6.04am EST (Washington – 38N53; 77W01)
Saturn – planet of buildings, loss, grief and suffering – the cusp ruler of house 4 (buildings) is in house 8 (death) and Pluto – planet of coercive terror and drastic events – is in house 2 (US finances and economy) and their in-sky opposition placed its signature on the 9/11 terror attack.
Then on November 27 the US economy was officially declared to be in recession (Saturn); and on November 30 Enron collapsed. It was the biggest corporate collapse in history. At the time revelations of government involvement, improper dealings, shredded papers, hidden liabilities, corrupt accounting practices, debts of $16 billion and suicides revealed the extent of Lower-Pluto’s involvement.
The 1988 Washington Pluto cycle chart progressed to 9/11
Chart data is February 26, 1988 at 6.24.23pm EST (Washington – 38N53; 77W01)
Pluto in house 3 (transportation, roads, communications and press) is exactly square Mercury in house 5 (entertainment, leisure, games, children and stock market). House 4 (the homeland, housing, buildings and farming) is conspicuous. On 9/11 Pluto had progressed to house 4 (buildings – the World Trade Center and Pentagon) and was sextile Mercury, sesquisquare Jupiter in house 8 (death) and semisextile Pluto.

On January 1, 1999 when progressed ascendant in America’s chart moved to house 7 a never before witnessed astro-event occurred and since then the evidence reveals that the ascendants progression through house 7 indicates that the people of a nation can become their own enemy.

Confusion and anxiety were terrorizing the American people.
And on the international stage the aviation sector experienced big strife. On November 8 and 9 Belgium’s Sibena Airlines and Canada 3000 Airlines declared bankruptcy; and on November 12 American Airbus Flight 587 crashed in New York killing 260 passengers and five people on the ground.
