Uranus and Pluto in 2012
By Wolfstar
Last week, the UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (PCC) reported that hundreds of millions of people living in Africa and Southeast Asia will soon face hunger, disease, and water shortages due to global warming
The report notes that the U.S. and Western Europe together emit two-thirds of the pollution that causes global warming, but generally have the resources to manage any extreme weather-related problems.
The PCC report arrives as transiting Uranus traverses the middle degrees of Pisces, an area that activates the epochal Uranus-Pluto conjunction of 1965-66. Uranus is now awakening some of the paradigm-shifting breakthroughs that began back then, including civil rights, the understanding of ecosystems, feminism, and most notably, the Aquarian concept of one people living on one planet.
What made that outer planet conjunction particularly challenging was that Saturn in Pisces (regional authority, status quo, Piscean religions) opposed Uranus-Pluto in Virgo. Now, as transiting Uranus hits that 1966 polarity, people living in places like Bangladesh and Kenya--who contribute the least to global warming, but will suffer the most--can only hope for more planetary awareness.
Transiting Uranus is raising awareness of some of the issues that took root in the 1960s. However, to really shake up the Saturnian influences that control most of our world's institutions, it will probably take some major natural or weather-related catastrophes that only Uranus-Pluto alignments can bring. Uranus and Pluto make their next dynamic aspect in 2012, a time that, synchronistically, corresponds to the end of the Mayan calendar.
