War: the latest shove towards World Economy Restructuring

 

The underlying layer of the global pandemic has been reinforced in February 2022 by Russia's decision by President Putin to fully invade Ukraine.

The economic consequences of Covid-19 are now strongly at risk of being significantly amplified by the restructuring of the global economy [Pluto in Capricorn] within the context and consequences of war. 

Though currently the physical activity of war is being played out within Ukraine involving Russian invaders and Ukrainian defenders the involvement of significant global networks and nation states has quickly entered the frame through not only overwhelming support for Ukraine from the international community - this support in itself is tantamount to entering the war from the Kremlin's perspective.

Retaliative payback for especially the economic damage inflicted by primarily Western democracies is a high potential scenario within the long as well as short-term outlook.

Given this context of political conflict [Venus-Mars-Pluto conjunction in Capricorn] the potentials of several patterns unfolding in March and April - with extended relevance due to the end of April Taurus eclipse - can be interpreted as having significant economic financial monetary market consequences.

The combining of Pisces factors with Uranus and an eclipse in Taurus stand out due to the dissolving weakening influence of water -so much Pisces in the energy field -as well as Pisces contagion potential within market trading environments.

In addition the Cardinal energies -all 4 are strongly evoked with Venus [Libra] Mars [Aries] both joining Pluto in Capricorn.

Not only is this the peace-war spectrum but also the structure of the global economy - which so far under Pluto has evaded the necessary restructuring......and there's not many degrees or much time before Pluto is supposed to have done its job.

2022 looks like the strongest contender for this process to begin due to the energies of March-April 2022. 

After the intensity at the beginning of March - the New Moon period - April is when Pluto's most significant activity begins with the square to the Aries Sun April 18 = slowdown begins = intensification approaching the Retrograde station at the end of April solar eclipse in Taurus. 

Pluto at end of April is closest to Earth during its cycle and extra potent until May 11.

The new context for Pluto is the Sun being in Taurus since April 20 and Uranus conjuncting the Sun on May 5.

The mid May lunar eclipse activates Taurus and Scorpio with Saturn and Neptune having strong influences.

These energies in May point to the extension of issues around money provided by the money and power eclipses of April-May.

Chemistry and alchemy both seek to  create something new. Sometimes that requires a catalyst to enact a critical transformation

Feb March April factors worth noting:

Feb Jupiter ♓️-Uranus ♉️ -money dissolving

March Pluto-Venus ssqu Neptunian New Moon - financial wipeout

March Uranus♉️ ssqu Fulll Moon

March Uranus♉️ squ Venus♒️

March Saturn♒️ conj Venus♒️ ssqu Sun

April Saturn conj Mars

April Saturn squ nodes

April Jupiter-Neptune sextile ♉️♏️ nodes

April Venus Jupiter Neptune ♓️conjunction

April ♉️New Moon partial solar eclipse ssq Venus♓️

In total a huge convergence of factors in March & April -with effects beyond then ...

The 2022 convergence of so many planetary factors in Capricorn Aquarius Pisces in the period referenced here holds a lot of significance in terms of the intensification of energy within a limited sector of the 360 circle and bounded by the nodal axis.

The energy overload signified is likely to have turbulent manifestations in multiple expressions.

[ Vedic astrology has a particular concern with this "Kala Sarpa Yoga" ]

In Feb-May 2022

Pluto dominates Capricorn

Saturn dominates Aquarius

Jupiter and Neptune dominate Pisces

Uranus dominates Taurus

Venus and Mars add their influence to the outer planet positions in Capricorn Aquarius and Pisces

The Sun covers Pisces-Aries-Taurus in the most focal period March-April

This accounts for at maximum 5 zodiac signs -such as late March and 4 signs late April

Definitely a period to observe and learn from.

BREXIT astrology - the world has changed

June 2016 saw the UK deliver a LEAVE vote in terms of membership of the European Union
Most of the debate has been immigration focussed -but it is the political, economic and financial causes and consequences which are possibly more significant.
Astrological cycles are a powerful guide to historical events and in 2016 the essence of the current Saturn-Jupiter cycle has been awakened.
[May 2000 the last Saturn-Jupiter conjunction at 22'43 Taurus
Note also: Pluto in that chart was 11'38 Sagittarius]
Fast forward to 2016
June 23
Saturn -the classic signifier of separation being by this stage at 11'40 Sagittarius triggers a transformational freedom [Pluto in Sagittarius] foreshadowed in the conjunction chart of May 2000

this quickly released image from the Leave sector

[Mars at 23'23 Scorpio on 23/6/2016 activates the original conjunction - Saturn and Jupiter play out the classic tug-of-war - Saturn = separating, versus Jupiter = being part of a big socio-political territory.]
But Saturn in Sagittarius requires a blending of the two motivations - and freedom through leaving seems to have captured a few more million people in the UK referendum

Pluto energy signifies that much has has to break down and burn to the core in order for a new version to arise out of the ashes.
This is transformation, this is healing and renewal - exactly the intense change that most people dread and fear right through to the cellular level, when it affects any aspect of life - but when a whole nation is collectively put on the bonfire, it's a powerful rebirth that's on offer.

Faith and trust are called upon more than ever that something better could arise -better than propping up dysfunctional plutocratic governments, the privileged and comfortable sectors who have been the clearly identified beneficiaries of neoliberal politics across the world, the architects of austerity, the engineers of inequality.  
[ The June New Moon with the mutable grand cross -Gemini Sagittarius Virgo Pisces served as a significant trigger for this momentous change -with Saturn, [leave] Jupiter, [stay combined] Neptune,[faith] Venus,[financial issues] Sun and Moon all in a battle for resolution: the Brexit vote has displayed what the majority wanted in the UK]
So June 2016 marks a very significant stake in the ground in the European and global arena.

In terms of energy shifts -which are essentially the role of astrology to identify and explain - we, globally and collectively are sitting, in 2016, on the fringes of the biggest shift in 200 years

excerpt from Saturn-Jupiter analysis*

So, in the most recent cycle, aside from 1980-81, our global humanity has been locked increasingly and highly dysfunctionally, into a very materialistic, money-oriented mindset since 1802.

In 2016, the world is again being put on notice, given a forewarning, a wake-up call, courtesy of Brexit and the obvious financial ripples, shudders and crashes.
A bright light is illuminating the coming transition towards the end of 2020 - the beginning of 200 years shift in focus - focus away from money, possessions, mass indulgence in greed, accumulating, collecting, storing. THINGS, objects, stuff, clutter.
And because nothing happens in a vacuum - global effects with mass consequences are the expected conduit through which humanity's relationship to money, possessions, accumulation is in many ways forcibly changed.
People en masse are simply not going to wake up in this transition period and beyond 2020, and say words to the effect I'm over this materialist shit - though a few already are and people in the 1960's hippy era did embrace this philosophy 
-[Saturn and Jupiter conjuncted in 1961]
So global events are the obvious precursor crisis that enforces less materiality -and yes, less money,- due to conditions of deprivation for many-rather than a pre-selected personal philosophical choice.

The hard way is enforced change.
The easier way is working out in advance where the flow is going and making personal decisions that create a shift away from so much extreme dependence on a materialistic existence - eg renting versus owning property, public transport versus personal vehicle, reducing the quantity of consumer goods purchased in favour of using just what you need or sharing/borrowing/hiring appliances/tools/equipment.
Being prepared to live on a lower income.
Getting rid of clutter, stored possessions. [The minimalist style is an early flavour of what is to be much more prevalent]
Downsizing -literally reducing the scale of the things you choose to keep - housing, transport - house to apartment; from car to a scooter.

Because we have already entered the transition period there are many indicators of these shifts in consciousness about materialism.
More is to come because it is a collective shift that will capture the essential mindset of humanity -and many will not be interested in making a change. But the flow cannot be resisted. Standing in a growing flood is simply the sign of a delusional ego.
Global financial crises have been continually anticipated again in the years after the 2007 GFC and the odds have arguably been increased with the Brexit Leave vote.
Brexit itself is not the world changer, Brexit happened because the world is in transition for even more change.
