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).
