Rockefeller heirs abandon fossil fuels



John D. Rockefeller built a vast fortune on oil. Now his heirs are abandoning fossil fuels. The family whose legendary wealth flowed from Standard Oil is planning to announce on Monday that its $860 million philanthropic organization, the Rockefeller Brothers Fund, is joining the divestment movement that began a couple years ago on college campuses. The announcement, timed to precede Tuesday’s opening of the United Nations climate change summit meeting in New York City, is part of a broader and accelerating initiative.

John Davison Rockefeller, Sr. (July 8, 1839 – May 23, 1937) was an American business magnate and philanthropist. The world’s first monopoly over a strategic resource was John D. Rockefeller’s Standard Oil, and it made him and all his heirs billionaires. The commercial development of oil remains in the hands of a few multinational corporations, and their dominance determines our collective political realities.

Since the Rockefeller family business started with John Sr., his horoscope [1] should reflect the changes being made in his business. His horoscope has radix Sun [16cn] at the apex of a T-square with Jupiter [10li] and Pluto [19ar].

In her book “Aspects in Astrology”, Sue Tompkins describes the Jupiter-Pluto aspect thus:

For individuals with this combination prominently placed in their charts, there is usually a life-theme around what may be described as the ‘wealth of buried matter’. The wealth can take different forms: sometimes a very physical form, as in the charts of those whose work involves mining of various types of ore, coal, oil or other minerals.

The current Uranus-Pluto square is hitting Rockefeller’s T-square. Ebertin’s key phrases for Uranus-Pluto are:

The process of transformation. The collapse of the old order of things, the construction of the new.

Transit Pluto has stationed direct on September 23, 2014 at 11cp on the MC of the chart and will move to complete a Grand Cross with the radix T-square. Jupiter [10li] at the leading edge of T-square is the first to be hit by transit Pluto.

Steven Forrest’s comment on Jupiter-Pluto applies here:

Under hard aspects between Pluto and Jupiter, faith is embattled. Perhaps someone has gone down a road for the wrong reasons. Under hard aspects illusions are challenged. The trick lies in realising that your life as you are living it is inadequate to meet your spiritual and emotional needs, and that half the reason that’s true is that you have believed far too many lies all your life. The other half of the reason is that you’ve grown and changed, and what used to be satisfying and believable is now barren and false. Comforting but phony elements of life must be released and new possibilities seized under less than auspicious circumstances.
