This is the March post on the Cardinal Climax.
Around about Aug 7th this year Saturn, Venus, Mars will be in Libra opposition Uranus Jupiter in Aries square Pluto in Capricorn (& NNode in Cap) and opp Moon in Cancer.
It's a rather mind boggling collection to interpret. And the wild card is Jupiter which could actually produce good news. If you strip Jupiter out it's Uranus opp Saturn Mars square Pluto which is seriously unfun - accident prone, violent, domineering, ruthless, stuck.
Admittedly Mars opposition Jupiter can lead to acts of self-righteous over confidence. The Afghanistan War was launched on a Jup opp Mars square Sun and the Iraq Attack on a Mars quincunx Jupiter. And Jupiter square Pluto can also be pushy, uncaring about other people's rights.
The Saturn opp Uranus square Pluto is all in Cardinals for the first time and fairly close at that point - it runs on thro' 2011 so there will be continuing effects. In many ways the height of the Cardinal Climax will be around the July 2011 Solar Eclipse with the New Moon in Cancer opp Pluto square Saturn opp Uranus which could produce more major events.
Looking back the triple conjunction of Saturn Uranus Pluto in the mid 19th Century in Aries/Taurus produced the 'year of revolutions' in 1848 as Europe went into revolt. This conjunction launched the Second French Empire under Louis Napoleon; and the unification of modern Germany effectively began then. The seeds of Communism were sown with Marx and Engels in full flood. The start of the liberation of the serfs in Russia really kicked off in the aftermath leading eventually to the Russian Revolution 70 years later. China was also in internal revolt over corruption.
The previous triple conjunction of Saturn Uranus Pluto around 1713 in Virgo brought a balance of power and economic growth to Europe with the Age of Enlightenment dawning which brought scientific progress, the breakdown of old beliefs and arts and culture flourished. Plus rebellions around the globe.
I'd expect to see more of the Greek-type street riots in various countries over the economic situation. And there is a good deal on the financial charts pointing to this October as being a tipping point in the downward direction for a second major dip.
There's a huge amount changing in the world at the moment both internally in individual countries and in terms of larger global movements. Even the headlines this week are instructive -1. Europe cracking at the seams. 2. Israel almost for the first time finding itself in isolation - which is pivotal not just for the Middle East but for the wider East West relationship. 3. Even the Vatican which has been around for almost two millennia is facing an existential crisis. 4. The USA finally managed to pass Healthcare which has defied all efforts to get in place for a 100 years. 5. The UK sinks to even greater depths economically and morally in terms of political leadership. Etc etc.
Pluto in Capricorn is grinding inexorably on pulling down the old structures, forcing a rethink economically and politically with the peasants becoming increasingly restless about the quality of their leadership. It isn't going to lead to a shining golden Age but some of the old baggage will undoubtedly go and a few pedestals will be tumbled.
