Oil Leaks, Wikileaks, Saturn In Libra, Chiron In Capricorn Generation Power

Yep, that's oil.

The darkness is encroaching. It's not just a metaphor. Oil is flowing into The Kalamazoo River, it's spewing off the coast of Mississippi and it's gushing in China. Of course the mystery of The Gulf itself deepens. Gas mains are breaking in Austin. Chiron opened it's veins in Pisces and the planet is bleeding. Let's hope that it's slight return into Aquarius can bring some knowledge and web wisdom.

It's ugly.

It's crude.

We can use Chiron in Pisces as a metric--the wounded healer immersed in the effluvial history of the world. If water holds the memory of emotion, oil holds the memory of time, of scaly creatures that lounge in clouds of methane and the life that could have been if whales had not taken to the seas to circulate their love throughout existence. We have lived in an uneasy symbiosis with it until now. Now it is foisted upon us in a dark baptism, reminding us of the stain of our original sin. No, it was not eating of the tree of knowledge, it was being convinced that the world could be owned and that we had to pay a price to live here. As J. Paul Getty once wryly decreed, "The meek might inherit the Earth, but they won't own the mineral rights."

Mars is about to shift into Libra. That's a good thing. That's a John Lennon kinda thing. He had Mars in Libra at 2 degrees. We know what he stood for and ultimately died for. Double Fantasy exudes a certain peace arrived at mid-life but also hints at darker themes, played out by his animatrix. Some think that the title of the album is a veiled reference to Paul/Faul, but I digress. The true distillation of Lennon's Mars in Libra manifested in the 70's with sleep-ins and city signs for peace. Perhaps to it's detriment, Mars in Libra demands peace and equality. It's counterpart/opposite Mars in Aries, makes no such demands. It simply acts out the will and peace is a byproduct of the activation of it's nature. That said, Mars in Libra can whip things up, even though it's a little defensive at times. My advice to you over the next 43 days? Stick up for the little guy and even the middle guy. The event to keep your eyes on? The fight over immigration in Arizona.

Immigration is a challenging issue and presents some deep complexities. On one level, we can see the inhumanity of a crappy existence in Mexico, where the poor have little chance at raising their living standards, meanwhile the multi-nationals and the upper 1% of Mexico live like Gods, thanks mostly due to NAFTA and billions of dollars that flow back to Mexico through the magic wires of Western Union and pack mule drug runners. Then there's the karmic level of the colonialist land grab from our red brothers and sisters. Then there's an ancient echo of Caesar allowing a multitude of tribes into Rome to increase his power base and dilute the senates. Then there's the issue of states rights, versus The Fed. This will be a significant event during Mars/Saturn in Libra. Even now, Jan Brewer, Governor of Arizona is already trying to come to some sort mediated agreement with the feds.

In May 1951, Sylvia Porter, a columnist for the New York Post, used the term "boom" to refer to the phenomenon of increased births in post war America. She wrote: "Take the 3,548,000 babies born in 1950. Bundle them into a batch, bounce them all over the bountiful land that is America. What do you get? Boom. The biggest, boomiest boomy boom ever known in history."

The largest spike in that boom happened between 1951 and 1955 and coincidentally, that little booming subset has Chiron in Capricorn. As Pluto begins it's crossing over the first wave of that group and Saturn starts it's square against them, they will be dealing with power, how they have manifested, respected or abused it up until now. Many of them are walking the corridors of power or seeking to reinvest their lives with meaning and power. In any case, a certain reckoning is going to be taking place, thanks mainly to Saturn. If you're born between 1951 and 1955, Saturn is making you check your level of power and if you're using it accordingly. Just remember that higher power is always better in such cases.

Just an interesting aside. I think there's some strange synchronicities going on with the whole concept of leaks. From oil to wikis, leaks are in vogue, and what does that mean? Well, in the case of Wikileaks, all is not what it seems and Julian Assange is not James Bond. In crypto circles, they call Wikileaks a "Limited Hangout." Meaning its not meant to be there for very long and it's real purpose is to disseminate dis or mis-info and to collect/filter potentially explosive material. Apparently there are leaks. Derive your own meaning.
