“Sharing economy” is the way forward


IT IS not hard to find evidence of the success of the “sharing economy”, in which people rent beds, cars and other underused assets directly from each other, co-ordinated via the internet. One pointer is the burgeoning of demand and supply. Airbnb, founded in San Francisco in 2008, claims that 11m people have used its website to find a place to stay.

Shown here is the chart for the Waning Crescent Moon phase at San Francisco,CA. Notice that the Cardinal Grand Cross straddles the horizon axis while the crescent Moon along with the star Markab, alpha Pegasus is on the MC.

Uranus and Pluto – the two slowest planets in the Grand Cross – define the process that is unfolding. Institutions (Capricorn) are breaking down (Pluto). Uranus in Aries is about a revolution in consciousness that frees the beliefs and behaviors that structure our lives from slavery to these crumbling institutions.

Here we find the courageous action of individuals (Uranus in Aries)  sharing their resources …pitting themselves against decaying and self-serving institutions and infrastructure  (Pluto in Capricorn) and overcoming their dependence on them.


About the star Markab, Nick Fiorenza writes


Markab, Alpha Pegasus, the primary star of Pegasus, is the first of four very principal stars creating the Great Square of Pegasus. The principles and qualities embodied in each of these four stars reveal the requirements for our psycho-physiological preparation to become free from the bounds limiting us from participating in a more fulfilling and purposeful expression in the world. This "refinement of self" allows us to rise above the bounds of the psychic-emotional entrapments common to collective human consciousness.
