Actually with some attempt to be clever a few have named it "American Autumn." I prefer "Big Government Anarchists."

Yeah they seem to be the left wing mirror image of the Tea Party brigade.

What about 'The Autumn of Discontent'. Somehow 'The Fall of Discontent' doesn't quite sound right but that might just be my British perception. The frustrated collective mood reminds me of that great movie Network with the classic chant "I'm as mad as hell, and I'm not going to take this anymore!" I think everyone should see that movie at least once. It was made over 30 years ago (1976) but it still seems to have a lot to say on how powerless many people feel in the face of the mounting world problems around them.

This will have some resonance for British members:

PLuto into Capricorn tends to signify large changes in management,
(Take the effects of Gutenburg on religion or colonial fights of independence, both are Pluto into Capricorn events)
With Pluto in a lovely T square with Uranus (chaos) and Venus (money) and Trine Jupiter (who is retrograding back to perfect the trine) this screams to me Benefit by interfering with(making chaos for) the money lenders.

I think this is a lovely representation of a protest that has been orderly and stubborn. Many of the protesters are themselves executives, lawyers and other middle class people. (okay lawyers run the gammet from middle class to rich, their status is not always obvious or known, the ones I've seen seem to be the middle class range) this is not a rabble mob by any stretch of the imagination. (contrary to the outright lies by Eric Re-Canter and friends) it is more like a convention in some ways, several Economists, Professors, and odd business professionals have addressed the group on various issues. Possibly this is the Mercury in his Own sign of Virgo aspecting Jupiter and the sun, etc. ? whichever, its been interesting to see a protest conducted in this way. Also a lot of the Signs I've seen are Money Graphs and other things I'd never expect to see at a protest rally, some interesting stuff going on there!

You may note that Mars from the beginning to mid November will make a lovely Grand Trine between Jupiter, Pluto and itself. I find that a little worrying, it can perfect violence as well as more congenial action. I hope it is far more related to people storming the election booth and voting to rip wall street a new one, but who knows. With Jupiter in the mix we can hope its friendly action, rather than aggression. the sun mid Nov. will form a T square with Neptune and Mars. It appears as though Jupiter and Saturn will oppose again, but they never perfect, Jupiter goes direct before a true opposition can occur which leads me to believe that something is avoided. Also Venus sextiles Saturn shortly after that, which leads me to believe that a settlement of some kind is in the making, but I think a lot will come down from the elections. Which I dont think will favor the 1 % in this case. Mercury and Venus unite on the 2nd, distinct overtures of compromise in the offing. IMO.

okay just offering some thoughts that I haven't seen out there as yet, for thought.
