How the price of oil will awaken a green
economy.
Oil and gas are
associated with the sign of Pisces and it’s ruling planet
Neptune. Uranus is transiting Pisces from 2003 through
2011. Uranus is the planet of instability, rebellion,
upsets but also innovation and invention. Uranus transits
Pisces once every 84 years. The last time was April 1919
through March 1927. This was the period of prohibiting
alcohol and the Roaring Twenties that lead to the great
stock market crash. The current cycle of Uranus transiting
Pisces is obviously a time when the price oil and gas are
highly unpredictable and unstable but with an opportunity
to dramatically change how the world uses these natural
resources.
Uranus will enter Aries March 2011 through March 2019.
Aries is an adventurous sign that forges into unknown
territories, takes bold risks and takes the lead with
original ideas. Uranus was last in Aries from April 1927
until March 1935 marking the end of the Roaring Twenties,
the stock market crash, and the beginning of the Depression
that brought many changes such as the New Deal, the WPA,
and our Social Security. Uranus is liberating,
unpredictable and it changes everything abruptly as
reflected during the last cycle and also when the US
banking system was overhauled and improved during the
Roosevelt administration.
Uranus transiting through Aries could be a period when a
new energy economy emerges not based on oil and gas but
with alternative fuels, that could advance our planet into
a bold new experiment called the Green Economy. Do not
forget that the last cycle when Uranus was in Aries changed
our world for the better from chaos, much like the
conditions we are experiencing today. The amazing thing is
that the consciousness of the world is ready for change
because of the recent acceptance of global warming and the
high increase in the price of oil at the same time that the
planetary cycles are aligning to support a shift to
alternative energy finally.
Neptune has been moving through the sign of Aquarius from
January 1998 until February 2012. Aquarius rules technology
and Neptune creates the vision but also inflated idealism;
such as when the dotcom bubble deflated overnight after
Neptune entered Aquarius. Neptune rules oil and will be
moving into oil ruled Pisces in 2012. Neptune also rules
transition and confusion along with a new idealistic vision
towards oil. I believe there is a strong possibility with
Uranus in Aries that will stimulate bold new technologies
and with Neptune in Pisces that the approaching planetary
cycles could mark the beginning of letting go of our
dependency on oil and gas and provide a new vision and a
new world economy.
Visionary Neptune was last in Pisces between 1847 and 1861.
During that cycle, slavery was coming to an end in the
United States and many people chased their dreams of wealth
during the great gold rush. That was a period of great
idealism for a better world.
Coincidentally as Uranus and Neptune shifts into different
astrological signs by 2012 it also marks the end of the
Mayan Calendar when on December 21, 2012, for the first
time in 26,000 years, the Sun rises to conjunct the
intersection of the Milky Way and the plane of the
ecliptic, describing in the sky a great cross of stars and
planets. The Mayan’s view the Dec. 21, 2012 date as a
rebirth, the start of a new era and not the end of the
world but the beginning of a new consciousness for our
planet. Perhaps a new world view of protecting our natural
resources and saving our planet for future generations.
Transformational Pluto is currently transiting through
Capricorn that rules business and governments from January
2008 until 2023. Pluto breakdowns, overhauls, and
transforms as it transits each sign. Pluto is the principal
of death and rebirth. The last time Pluto was in Capricorn
248 years ago was when the US Declaration of Independence
was signed to form a new democratic government that
triggered the American Revolution at the same time that the
French middle class was rebelling against their government.
Pluto transiting Capricorn currently will overhaul our
world governments and corporations. But Pluto can transform
our economies and take away the powerful influences of
international corporations that affects our governments.
Many economies and corporations are rich and powerful
because of oil but if oil is no longer the driving force
then the world will see again a shift of power as when the
American people rebelled during the last cycle of Pluto in
Capricorn and refused to pay taxes to the British that
began the American Revolution.
In conclusion, I am confident that the world economies will
not evaporate and the world as we know it will not end. I
know that money will begin shifting from an oil based
economy to a green economy and it would be wise to begin
investing in green industries and technologies where the
new wealth will be generated. There will always be wealth
and we are in an unprecedented cycle to jump on board at
the beginning of a new emerging economy, much like when
IBM, Wal-Mart or Microsoft began and we had all wished we
had invested in those companies in the early years.
