In June an entry on this weblog talked about the demise of Top of the Pops. That entry was published shortly after the announcement that programme was to finish.
The last programme was broadcast last Sunday. The final minute of the programme had Jimmy Saville - the very first, and very last, presenter of TOTP - switching off the studio lights.
At the very moment of the broadcast of the TOTP lights going out, transiting Ascendant was very closely opposite the TOTP Pluto.... Pluto representing the ending of an era. This means that the transiting Descendant - representing sunset, the point where the Sun (light) disappears beneath the horizon at the end of the day - was very closely conjunct TOTP Pluto. Very fitting.
Pluto is also a symbol of those who destroy. The BBC has been accused of deliberately orchestrating the demise of the iconic programme. Pluto is also renowned for resurrection and new life, so who knows whether someone behind the scenes (a Plutonic place to be) is planning to take the best of what TOTP had and place it into a new venture that will breathe new life into the legendary, ground-breaking music programme?
