Hundreds
of tons of waste that Americans believed they were recycling is now piling up
in processing plants or being dumped into landfills, as China’s decision to
stop buying garbage for environmental reasons begins to bite. Beijing’s
2017 decision to ban imports of 24 varieties of trash brought to light the real
destination of most Western recyclables: They were shipped to Chinese
factories, where they would be cleaned up and repurposed into raw materials.
China bought half of all US scrap last year, and has recycled 72 percent of all
the world’s plastic since 1992, according to a study in the journal Science
Advances. July 13 https://www.rt.com/business/432912-us-waste-recycling-landfills-china/
How can we as astrologers make sense of this news? Well,
using the Davison relationship chart is one way.
What is a Davison relationship chart?
The Davison relationship chart [DRC]
was named for Ronald C. Davison (1914-1985), author and president of the
Astrological Lodge of the Theosophical Society of London. The date and time can be determined by
calculating the day that lies exactly between the natal charts of those
involved. The same principle is also applied to the times of birth. If the
individuals involved have different places of birth a combined "place of
birth" is calculated by taking the average values of latitude and
longitude.Even if the combined place of birth
is located in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, the DRC is still a concrete
horoscope for a specific time, place, and location which can, like any natal
chart, be used as a basis to calculate solar return charts, progressions and
the effect of transits. http://wiki.astro.com/astrowiki/en/Davison_Relationship_Chart
The data for the national charts are (a) US Sibly; 4 July
1776; 5:10 pm LMT; Philadelphia (b) China; 1 Oct. 1949; 3:02 pm AWST, Beijing.
Based on this data the Davison Relationship
Chart (DRC) is shown here. Our attention is immediately drawn to the Apollon-Hades-Jupiter T-square
aligned with the meridian.
Modern astrologers use the keywords “deterioration and
decline” for Hades. In 1959, Alfred Witte originally linked the TNP Hades to “junk and waste material”[1]. The TNP
Apollon is associated with “business, trade and commerce”[2]. Put together we
are looking at the “business of waste” or
more broadly speaking a “decline in commerce” (result of a trade war?!) The involvement of Jupiter hints at the massive
scale of the business and commerce between the US and China.Notice that the
solar eclipse of July 13, falls on the radix Apollon activating the entire
combination. About the role of eclipses
in our lives, Nick Fiorenza writes:
Eclipses tend to bring
about endings and new beginnings. How dramatic these changes can be and in what
areas of our lives is a function of star alignments and other aspecting planets
occurring at the time of the eclipse, and where they occur in our natal chart.
They can have a far greater effect in our lives when they conjoin other natal
planets and personal points by ±6° .
Additionally, solar arc progressed TNP Admetus is currently
[0le56] just separating from an opposition to radix Hades [0aq19] so that the
eclipse has served as a trigger bringing a “termination” (Admetus) [2] to the
waste trade or more generally “obstruction” (Admetus) [2] to commerce.
