Somewhere on our travels recently I picked up an old copy of Newsweek in a junk shop. The image above was the first thing I saw as I flicked through it. It was one half of a double-page advertisement placed by a corporation: FMC
Part of the advert's blurb on the opposite page read:
Ironically the issue of Newsweek is dated 12 November 1973.
Ye Gods! Progress on developing those "different fuels" has been negligible to non-existent in the intervening 37 years!
Oil in astrology is thought to be "ruled" by planet Neptune. I'm a wee bit unclear as to why. Neptune rules the oceans - that's clear enough via mythology; extrapolating from that, all liquids come under Neptune's rulership I guess -including oil - and alcohol (other Neptune governorships include dreams, illusions, mysticism etc. etc.)
In 1973 Neptune was in early Sagittarius. As I type Neptune is in late Aquarius, in the interim period having passed through the rest of Sagittarius (Fire), all of Capricorn (Earth) and most of Aquarius(Air). Neptune will enter 00 Pisces (Water), its own rulership, in February 2012.
Aspects made by or to Neptune, most importantly involving the other slow movers, are significant of course, but the zodiac sign in which Neptune spends a long period - around 14 years in each, is also very important. In a compatible (Water) sign, perhaps there will be a more helpful "astrological atmosphere", and a new era where oil is concerned.....with oil largely staying in its own home, under the ground or ocean.
Let us hope sincerely that Neptune, when settled into Pisces, the sign where it is most at home, will somehow bring about the right atmosphere for an end to the insanity that has been our quest for oil. Let that be our dream (dreams also being part of Neptune's domain).
