Season 1
Changing of the Gods examines the world transits of Uranus and Pluto, whose combined energies symbolize revolutionary transformation. Whenever these planets align on axial points, a distinct global zeitgeist emerges—concentrated periods of revolution, upheaval, and social breakthroughs that redirect world history. In these intervals, we observe sweeping shifts across scientific and technological innovation, strides in social and economic justice, the women's rights movements, Black liberation movements, and the rise of new paradigms that redefine how we perceive ourselves and reality. Sound familiar? The last such epoch occurred in the 1960s. What is the revolution today? What is the transformation?

Episode Guide
Traversing Uranus–Pluto transits, history echoes through cycles bursting with radical social thought and the surge of mass movements for justice and freedom—qualities linked to Uranus. Each cycle also ignites sweeping, planet-scale transformation—Pluto. Richard Tarnas guides viewers through an archetypal comparison between today’s radical currents and the 1960s. History doesn’t merely rhyme; it seems to plagiarize—at least in spirit. A constant thread is the rebirth of youth movements. We meet contemporary youth-movement leader, hip-hop artist, and climate activist Xiuhtezcatl Martinez to witness the revolution in progress. We turn back to the uncanny echoes of the 1960s youth movements.
