Feminism
We proposed to use Haumea as the first transplutonian planet in astrology and to rename it Proserpine as proposed by our predecessors (Eugene Caslant, Dane Rudyard). These authors had placed Proserpine as ruler of Taurus, our research adds that she is the diurnal ruler of Taurus and nocturnal ruler of Libra. The exaltation is in Gemini.
The key words are: woman, life, desire, evolution, development, growth, multiplication, lineage, organization, cohesion, form, phallus, pregnancy, possession, materiality, conservation, sensuality.
The Uranus/Proserpine cycle shows a striking parallel with the timeline of feminism and its 4 waves.
- Uranus: liberation, emancipation
- Proserpine: woman
- Uranus/Proserpine – woman’s liberation
We can only do a very brief overview here.
The conjunction of 1835 corresponds to the birth of feminism (the first wave), the opposition of 1905 to the global emergence of feminist organizations and the emergence of feminist activism (see picture below).
The conjunction of 1962 with the birth of the 2nd wave of feminism, with for example FDA approval of the contraceptive pill among others.
The 1987 square corresponds to the birth of the 3rd feminist wave with the emphasis placed on diversity within groups and the uniqueness of each woman, in particular by a better visibility occupied by women considered to be doubly marginalized or stigmatized — women of color, Aboriginal, lesbian, prostitutes, transgender, or even fat, to name but a few.
The opposition Uranus 21 Aries and Proserpine 21 of Libra from 2016 to 2018 correspond to the beginning of the 4th wave of feminism and all the campaigns to denounce sexual abuse and harassment as well as against femicide.
