| The most obvious feature of this
chart is the stellium (grouping) of five planets in Capricorn,
including the Sun, Moon, Mercury, Neptune and Uranus (circled in
orange). Capricorn often favors those in power, perhaps
reflecting the governmental and commercial interests behind the
WTO. Yet, the conjunction (union) between Mercury (planet of
commerce and communication) with idealistic Neptune and
revolutionary Uranus could signal a genuine attempt to modernize
the nature of international trade.
A less positive view can be
derived from the conjunction of Venus (values) and Pluto (hidden
motivations) in mysterious Scorpio (violet circle). This pair
can readily symbolize the desire of selfish individuals to hoard
resources without regard to the welfare of others. But, again,
there's another way to see this combination. It may be about
creating higher levels of efficiency (Pluto and Scorpio) for the
exchange of goods (Venus) and services.
Clearly, the recent events in
Seattle have stripped away some of the secrecy concerning the
WTO. The challenging right angle (square) from Pluto in the sky
to the WTO's Saturn (structure) over the past year suggests that
the wall (Saturn) of illusion (in Pisces) is crumbling. |
| Note: This is a Solar
chart, done when the time of birth is not known. The chart was
calculated for noon, but places the Sun on the Ascendant
(eastern end of the horizon). The positions of the planets by
sign and in relationship to one another do not change
dramatically during the course of a single day. However, the
houses, based on the Earth's rotation on its axis, are
essentially meaningless here. Houses show where the energies of
the planets express themselves, while the signs show how they
operate. This information alone, however, is quite revealing to
an astrologer. |
