World Economic Forum and the 2012 Venus transit




More than 2,500 alpha men and women from more than 100 countries will descend on Davos this week to spend four days discussing the world's urgent need to adopt "resilient dynamism". This, the organising watchword for this year's annual gathering of panjandrums at the World Economic Forum, is allegedly the way out of the crisis. It is meaningless. Who, for example, would support non-resilient stagnation? Western capitalism, and, arguably, global capitalism, has arrived at an apparent dead end. It is in profound trouble. There will doubtless be the usual appeals for more free trade, more scientific research and more investment in skills as the expensively clad executives move from seminar and sonorous keynote speech to reception and back to the dinner table. But what there will not be at Davos is a willingness to countenance a sea change in the way capitalism is organised.

What the IMF team shows is that as the share of national income devoted to profits and top pay rises to its current levels, so a noxious economic dynamic is created. By definition, there is less of the pie available to the mass of wage earners, whose real wages become squeezed. To sustain their living standards, they borrow, which has been easier than ever over the past 40 years as banks take advantage of financial deregulation. Overall demand thus carries on growing, but at the price of sucking in imports and ever higher personal debt levels for ordinary wage earners.

Finally, the music stops, as it has now, as both debt and import levels become unsustainable. The state of play in Britain – crazy levels of private sector debt and a record trade deficit – can thus be explained by the rise of inequality. And one of the chief causes of that, the IMF believes, is the decline in trade union bargaining power!

Last year Venus, the planet of wealth and resources which also plays a prominent role in financial matters and the flow of money made a historic transit over the Sun. The passage of Venus across the Sun  occured for about 5 hours centered around the time of the Sun-Venus conjunction on June 6, 2012, 1:09:33 GMT. This transit,  may stimulate a change in focus for the application of resources as well as stimulate a turning in the global financial scene. It  inspires us to create the means to move forward in a new heart-centered way that supports the fundamental physical needs for people, home and family—a key quality of  sidereal Taurus. [1]

For Davos we have the powerful T-square  involving Pluto-Uranus-Kronos-Hades straddling the meridian axis with Saturn on the descendant. Progressing this chart by the Wynn Key method to Jan 22, brings the T-square to straddle the horizon axis setting off the challenges implied.  

Pluto-Hades: decline through debt, reliance on credit and loss of integrity; power over others has been achieved through disenfranchising them; to recognize that poverty, lack, depression can create upheaval

Kronos-Hades: Leaders have made mistakes

Pluto-Kronos: Leaders are under pressure; instances of abuse of power through misuse of office, position, laws and procedures; a time for change of laws and regulations.

Saturn [23li04] is conjunct the star Archturus. Boötes / Archturus stands against the fallen corrupt powers of Benatnasch who have demonstrated their inability over and over again to ensure evolutionary fulfillment, with the continual destruction of the peoples of the Earth, and typical catastrophic outcomes. [2]

The Sabian symbol for Saturn
PHASE 204 (LIBRA 24°): A BUTTERFLY WITH A THIRD WING ON ITS LEFT SIDE.

KEYNOTE: The ability to develop new modes of response to basic life situations.

The butterfly is the ancient and traditional symbol of the result of the process of transformation and rebirth.  If the butterfly has three wings instead of two, a special development is shown. Three is a symbol of fulfillment. Some power can now be added to the normal life of the individual person. The left side refers to the the heart's side. Can the leaders at Davos respond to the problem from the heart and not from the mind?!


Saturn is now sextile Pluto. Thus, this is the ending sextile in the 37-year Saturn-Pluto cycle. The geocentric conjunction took place on  November 8, 1982 ; 00:37 UT. At Davos the MC of the chart was 7ge45, the Sabian symbol for which is:

PHASE 68 (GEMINI 8°): AROUSED STRIKERS SURROUND A FACTORY.

KEYNOTE: The disruptive power of the ambitious mind upon the organic wholeness of human relationship.

We are dealing in this sequence of symbols with man's discovery of the new powers residing in his special contribution to the total organism of this planet Earth — his consciousness and aggressive mind. The first stage (Phase 66) dealt with oil, the typical form of energy which the modern mind has made available.Now we see in this new symbol a pictorial indication of what the use of this intellect-generated energy inevitably leads to: industrial unrest and violence. As man manages to rape the earth in order to demonstrate his power and intensify his pleasures and his sense of proud mastery, conflicts and disruptive processes are inevitably initiated.

The arousal is presented to us here in its collective social form because we have reached the emotional-cultural level. The type of power generated by the analytical intellectual faculties is essentially disruptive; it is based on the destruction of matter, and invites egocentric hoarding and spoliation — and, in general, privileges of one kind or another. This leads to a REVOLT AGAINST PRIVILEGES.

Jupiter presently  at 6ge26, conjunct the lunar eclipse of Nov 28,2012 at 6ge41,  is providing a clue to the way forward. But can our leaders at Davos rise to the occasion?

PHASE 67 (GEMINI 7°): A WELL WITH BUCKET AND ROPE UNDER THE SHADE OF MAJESTIC TREES.
In contrast with the ambitious drive of modern man for power and wealth of the previous symbol (drilling for oil) we now have the image of the eternal search for that which is at the root of all living processes, i.e. water. This refers to the need to provide true nurturing aid to all humanity or face the consequences of the symbol for 8ge (above).
