The Answers to Itching and the End of Scratching

Found a story this morning that seems to be a perfect Pluto in Capricorn square Saturn-Uranus opposition manifestation. Pluto wants to change (or destroy) whatever it touches. It does this by weeding mostly, hence the destruct and destroy element. Sometimes its methods for figuring how to weed are a little bit interesting in psychological circumstances as it creates a great Hunger for Power in whomever it touches. If the person is not quite on the up and up it will create Hubris and the person's actions will bring him down or Pluto can bring devastating feelings of Powerlessness. If the person is ready for an experience or simply "selected" in life he can achieve greatness. The idea is that he/she will just become either more powerful or more purified.

On the physical side it can work in the same ways. So, as Pluto has moved into Capricorn, sign that rules skin and bones and knees, I've been waiting for these stories to crop up having to do with advances in understanding these areas of the body and have found one today.

A neuroscientist in Minnesota, Dr. Glenn Giesler, Jr., has tortured some Macaque Monkeys in the lab and has found a possible area in the part of the spine located at the bottom of the rib cage that triggers itching sensations in the skin.

The spine is co-ruled by Saturn and Uranus. The nerves are ruled by Uranus and Mercury. I wonder if there will end up being a statistically significant number of revelations in Health as Saturn opposes Uranus in the signs of Virgo-Pisces. Pisces, of course, rules the part of the story where lab animals are tortured. I suppose this can help animals as well who have chronic itches so in the end they may benefit as well. I wonder if plants have itches. I bet they do. I can tell you that just writing this has caused me to rub about 3 parts of my body practically raw. Actually, my left eye has just developed a twitch. This is stuff that Chiropractors and Acupuncturists probably already know about.

Story is called: "Relief from itch seen in nerves; may aid treatment" by Malcolm Ritter.
