Astrology of Sustainability
This book speaks to my own heart, and to what I believe will be among the most important issues of the first half of the 21st century. How do you speak to large societal events using astrology? There is a history of that, using the Jupiter-Saturn cycle, and other outer planet cycles - and these are addressed in the book. There is the shorter term method of the Aries Ingress chart, and that is covered as well in the book.However, as human population has become so large, and our resource utilization so extensive, I believe that we are coming into an era in which the environment will impinge on our lives, in ways that our fossil fuel driven lifestyles have managed to obscure for over a century. We are pushing resource use to the maximum, and whether we are talking about oil, water, food, rare earths, or gold, we cannot sustain even our current population in the lifestyle that most people would choose. Furthermore, toxic by-products of our lifestyle are catching up and killing us. I believe these issues will become totally evident during this current pass of Pluto in Capricorn, so much of the book is a survey of Pluto through the signs and elements, to help provide a baseline for the kinds of problems and the issues that they suggest for life on this planet over the next few decades.If you find my arguments compelling, then these are some of the things this book may lead you to consider:You may want to consider where is the best place to live, given rainfall and irrigation patterns, not to mention the geopolitics of water.You may want to consider making changes in the foods you eat, the clothes you wear, and the things you buy.You may change how you do retirement planning.This work will give you food for thought about what astrology can say in the larger context of our voyage on our blue planet.
