The
dollar's role as the world's reserve currency was first established in 1944
with the Bretton Woods agreement. The U.S. was able assume this role by
virtue of it then having the largest gold reserves in the world. The dollar was
pegged at $35 an ounce -- and freely exchangeable into gold at that rate. But
by 1971, convertibility into gold was no longer viable as America 's gold
resources drained away. On Aug. 15, 1971, Nixon disconnected the dollar from
the gold standard making the dollar a pure fiat currency (decoupled from
any physical store of value). The announcement by the President was made at 9 pm from the Oval Office in Washington , DC
[1]. A chart for that moment may be looked upon as the birth of the Fiat
Dollar. Notice that the Sun was square a Jupiter-Neptune conjunction which in
turn was opposite Saturn.
Transit
Saturn has just entered Sagittarius and will be transiting over the radix Jupiter-Neptune conjunction opposite
Saturn in 2015. Saturn transits are always some kind of a reality check. Combine this with Martha Wescott’s key sentence
to describe Jupiter-Neptune and we know what is happening.
People
who built their castles on sand are
discovering that the tide has changed (and that piddly little bump
is where their fortress used to
be.)
Also notice
that the progressed solar arc Ascendant [28ar] forms a temporary Yod with the
Jupiter [27sc] – Pluto [ 28vi] sextile. Progressed
Yods create turning points in life as though one has reached a Y in the road
and must now take a new path. Here the dynamics of a troubled Jupiter-Pluto
interaction is described by Steven Forrest as follows:
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.
Finally, Pluto
[28vi] is conjunct the star Alkaid and
Nick Fiorenza’s description of the dynamics in this area tells us what really
happened and what is at stake now.
Benetnasch (Eta, Ursa Major) is the Tail of the
Great Bear. The Arabic name for Benetnasch is Alkaid, which means "the
leader." Benetnasch expresses one of the classical seven rays. Benetnasch
teaches that leadership is about facilitating the self-empowerment and freedom
of others rather than about exerting manipulative force that controls others,
mistaken as leadership and being in power.
Benetnasch expresses the old dictatorial and
totalitarian stream of consciousness that was predominantly dominant when
Earth's polar alignment was tilted (had fallen) furthest from the galactic
plane in Earth's great precessional year (about 6000 years ago). Thus
Benetnasch is of this long-established totalitarian governing
paradigm--generally of a patriarchal nature. It is of political-religious
factions of big business.
In its old form and when expressing with influence
of the stars of late Leo (the tail of the Lion, the racket of Canes Venatici
and the hot air of Antilia), Benetnasch articulates those who tend to act as
manipulating and controlling godheads, which perpetuates a dogmatic societal
structure that keeps individuals from becoming self-responsible, and from
evolving into their own self-mastery. It is of leadership that dictates what is
right for people and what they should do by using dramatic and diversionary
propaganda, rather than supporting others to make their own choices in freedom.
It can be of the self-proclaimed saviors of the world who try to amass their
blind followers for their own interest in maintaining a position of power and
wealth. The days of dictators, gurus and followings, perhaps at one time
served the sleeping masses, but they are now manipulative and suppressive to
the emergence of a new soul-aware consciousness on Earth.
