I found this at Molly Hall's blog: Oliver Stone and "Secret History" Wednesday January 13, 2010 The transit of Saturn in Libra can block our attempt to project darkness onto others. This is the great teacher's way of inviting us to integrate these shadowy traits. The volume is turned up on battles with those we name evildoers, both in our everyday lives, and in the culture. As Saturn stations, it's fascinating to note that filmmaker Oliver Stone is promoting his new 10-hour Showtime series called Secret History. He wants to show how the villains of history, like Hitler and Stalin, emerged out of their particular historic place and time. He says, "You cannot approach history unless you have empathy for the person you may hate." The premise of the series is provoking an intense reaction, being called "incendiary." Stone is telling the other side of the story, that many fear to name, by showing the role corporations played in wars (Pluto in Capricorn). He says, "Go into the funding of the Nazi party. How many American corporations were involved, from GM through IBM." It's a taboo topic to look at "bad guys" and entire industries that profit from war, but it's timely and goes to the dark heart of the matter. With Saturn cycling back to a square with Pluto, we may see more light shining on these ugly realities. This message has not had any reply messages posted.
