President Donald Trump is weighing a proposal to block U.S. tech companies from outsourcing IT jobs to India, aiming to protect American employment and revive domestic opportunities. This initiative, potentially involving tariffs and visa restrictions, could spark trade tensions with India, where the IT sector supports millions of jobs, while critics warn of higher costs and innovation setbacks for U.S. firms. https://x.com/i/trending/1964099724686086144
Below is an extract from an earlier post Lunar Eclipse: India Stands Up To The US [1], The South Node of the eclipse is in Virgo about which Steven Forrest writes:
As always, we start by underscoring a point that is really the bedrock of evolutionary astrological theory: the south node of the Moon represents the gravity of old habits which are holding us back, while the north node symbolizes the remedy that can liberate us. Someone is giving us orders. Were you treated as a utility rather than as a person? Were you taken for granted?
The South Node in Virgo teaches us to evolve from a subordinate or dependent role (e.g., inferior, employee, disciple) to a position of mastery, autonomy, or leadership (e.g., master of oneself, owner, guru). It emphasizes psychological growth, self-determination, and empowerment.
Indian IT workers are often associated with the outsourcing industry, which has been a significant driver of India's IT boom since the 1990s. Companies in Western countries, particularly the U.S., have outsourced IT services to India due to lower labor costs, enabled by India’s large, English-speaking, and technically skilled workforce. Critics have labeled this work as "intellectual coolie" labor, suggesting that Indian IT professionals are hired for routine, low-value tasks (e.g., coding, maintenance, or support) rather than high-level innovation or product development}.
The term "intellectual coolies" has been used to describe Indian IT workers in a derogatory and controversial manner, primarily to critique the nature of their work in the global IT industry. The phrase draws from the historical term "coolie," which referred to low-wage, manual laborers, often of Indian or Chinese descent, during the colonial era.
This label is increasingly seen as inaccurate and offensive, as Indian IT professionals have demonstrated significant innovation and leadership in the global tech industry.Coming at this time, the eclipse is pointing to the need to get out of the “Virgo” stereotype and demonstrate India’s evolving role in creating intellectual property and high-value solutions.
