The Indian government has passed legislation
capping royalties for new genetically-modified (GM) cotton varieties to be
introduced by Monsanto, striking a blow at the company’s pricing structure in
the heavily-populated country. Monsanto has come under fire from critics of
farming that is reliant on synthetic fertilizers and pesticides.
Earlier in March, in response to complaints that
Monsanto's Indian subsidiary Mahyaco Monsanto Biotech India Ltd (MMBL) was
overcharging for a crop that produces its own pesticide, the agriculture
ministry cut royalties paid by local seed firms by nearly 70 percent,
substantially affecting MMBL's revenue. http://sputniknews.com/world/20160521/1040008349/monsanto-royalties-india.html
To understand
the cosmic reasons behind this development, I urge readers to first go through
Nick Fiorenza’s post for the eclipse lunar cycle of September 2015 entitled “Winds
of Change & New Beginnings” [1]. This was an eclipse lunar cycle, with a
Partial Solar Eclipse occurring on September 13, 2015 , and a Total Lunar
Eclipse occurring on September 28.
The Total
Lunar Eclipse occurring on September 28 has the Moon in the 6th
house. In her book “The Houses, Temples of the Sky,” Deborah Houlding writes “the
6th house has a connection with farming
and crops generally”[2].
The eclipse
axis forms a Cross with the TNPs Kronos-Hades opposite Pluto.
Pluto-Kronos: to see a
testing of laws, compliance with regulations; manipulation through a defiance
of laws; attention to the finances of big business and regulations concerning
investments or royalty, interest rates and similar payments.
Hades-Pluto-Kronos : Criminal
financial dealings in high places; to attempt to achieve power by
disenfranchising others.
Uranus-Pluto : all that
was hidden is brought to light; collapse of schemes.
Here the Sun
and North Node conjoin the asteroid Juno [3] and the dwarf planet Makemake [1]. Makemake is about leadership that strategically
plans action to create environmental conditions that ensure a healthy,
prosperous and abundant life for groups or for the people in general. Therefore,
it is not surprising to expect a situation where leaders enforce fairness in price or money related contracts (Juno).
The
government order restricting prices came on May 19, Thursday. Progressing the
eclipse chart to that day aligns the skewed
Cross with the angles.
JUNO: Partners;
marriage/relationship; maintenance of one's rights or position with other;
question of “rights” and fairness/compromise; enforcement of fairness;
potential for score?keeping, jealousy, fears of abandonment & infidelity;
tallying ($$$ & fairness).
