A friend’s astrologer reported that the heavens are aligned the way they were at the time of the American and French Revolutions.
An interesting parallel: toppling of the existing power structure and a redistribution of wealth so it reaches more people.
Then it was triggered by violent upheaval. Now the developed world has systems in place so that we have a collapse of some financial practices and institutions with government intervention, in effect, taking power from the handful of super-beneficiaries of the old system and redistributing it more widely. We also have an election coming up for which unprecedented numbers of underdogs - young people and ethnic minorities - have registered. If Obama wins, we’ll have a descendant of a race that was enslaved less than 150 years ago in the highest office of the land and one of the most powerful in the world.
At the same time, we have the continuation of the Internet revolution and changes in business operations, market structure and the pace of change. The Internet also topples the existing power structure because it redistributes information so it reaches more people.
Also the same time, we have violent upheavals in the
Middle East
, which have toppled the existing power structure.
Interesting!
