Political Revolutions Part 1: Cycles of Revolution

Changing of the Gods • Season 1 • Episode 2

About this episode

Across Uranus-Pluto transits, history rhymes with recurring cycles bursting with radical social thought and the explosion of mass social movements for justice and freedom – qualities associated with Uranus. Each time there’s also an evolutionary transformation on huge scales – Pluto. Richard Tarnas guides us through an archetypal comparison of today’s radical movements with the 1960s. History doesn’t just rhyme – it practically plagiarizes. One consistent correlation is the renaissance of youth movements. We meet contemporary youth movement leader, hip-hop artist and climate activist Xiuhtezcatl Martinez to see the revolution now. We look back to the uncanny echoes of ‘60s youth movements.
