GLOBALISATION IS OVER FROM 2026 as many astrologers know. The zodiac sign associated with globalisation is Sagittarius. That sign has been blocked and stopped by historic, unusual horoscope patterns in 2020 and 2021. It will be completely obstructed by the rare Uranus in Gemini transit from 2026.
It might be the multi-billion-dollar debts of Qantas and Virgin airlines. Vaccination passports. Border closure. However you look at it, there are real-world examples of the pummelling given to Sagittarius planets in 2020-2021.
I use one-card readings in the Smith-Waite Tarot for clarity. And when I asked my trusty deck for just one statement about 2022, I drew The Fool. Here we have a traveller who is in great danger, ignoring even loud warning.
THE WHITE DOG IS MEDICINE AND SCIENCE. The Tarot is symbolic and here the desperate dog wears the doctor’s white coat. The laboratory scientist’s white coat. The Fool is oblivious and is going to fall. Perhaps crash to his death. Certainly, to a possible accident. Maybe, a hair-raising escape.
The After Tarot, below, shows one possible outcome. Yet, The Fool has lost all his luggage. Unless help comes, he can only hang on for so long. In the background of the card you can see COVID-19 case graphs. Hospital admission graphs. It’s really like Dr. Eric Ding’s Twitter account (the famous Harvard epidemiologist, also on Substack).
THE ZERO COVID PRIVILEGE IS AT THE TOP. States or countries which achieve Zero Covid (zero local cases) can safely open up air bridges and bubbles. The card shows Zero quite clearly. It’s in the way of the Tarot that these synchronicities should show up.
The two cards, before and after, should reveal other truths to you, if you open up your sixth sense. Your psychic ability. This is also a message about the Climate Emergency, isn’t it? The ice caps of the Arctic and Antarctica, melting. The airlines burn kerosene - kerosene heats the planet.
THE COMFORT OF ASTROLOGY IS - WE’VE BEEN HERE BEFORE. Astrology is about cycles which repeat. The year 1351 was similar to 2022. They had The Black Death - their pandemic - spread by travel. They also had a climate emergency. Back then, it was too cold. The Little Ice Age.
That cycle (Uranus in Taurus, North Node in Taurus) comes around again on the Merry-Go-Round of astrology within weeks, as I write this, on Boxing Day 2021. Then, the combination of climate emergency and plague resulted in peasants commanding higher wages as so few of them were left to work. In 2022, healthcare workers will demand, and get, better wages. In 2022, we will also have the upper hand in negotiations with employers when we want to work from home, or work a four-day week, for example. From 2023 it’s global.
THE GOOD NEWS IS STEADY FROM 19TH JANUARY 2022. From that date the unusually difficult clash between the Sagittarius South Node (globalisation, foreigners, foreign travel) and the Gemini North Node (your local town or city, the local state, county or territory) finishes.
The Fool has long been a symbol of Sagittarius - the Happy Wanderer. The explorer. Ruled by Jupiter, associated with the business of trusting to luck. The reason 2020-2021 has been so historically difficult is that billions of people on the planet have Sagittarius factors in their astrological birth charts, through a quirk of fate. Uranus in Sagittarius. Neptune in Sagittarius. Pluto in Sagittarius.
Entire generations born 1970-1984 (Neptune) 1981-1988 (Uranus) and 1995-2008 (Pluto) have foreign travel and globalisation written by fate. The transits, like the spinning wheels on a bicycle (below) have seen all these generations, who express themselves through globalisation, spinning their wheels, too, in 2020-2021.
Generation Sagittarius
THE PROBLEM FOR THESE PEOPLE and for billions more born with the Sun, Moon, Mercury and other factors in Sagittarius is - Gemini cycles. Gemini is the opposite sign which blocks and stops. Gemini is local. Sagittarius is international. Gemini is the neighbourhood. Gemini is globalisation.
When local shops, cafes, restaurants go out of business because a cautious population is ordering online, you are seeing a Gemini-Sagittarius astrological war, writ large.
This ends on 19th January 2019 when the lunar nodes leave Gemini-Sagittarius for another 19 years or so. I have no idea why. But, from that point, there are no more long-term Sagittarius cycles, so that sign declines in importance. The Fool is no longer part of the narrative. Globalisation is going.
The Gemini Cycles of 2022 and Beyond
FUTURE GEMINI CYCLES ROLL IN WAVES from the unusually long Mars in Gemini Retrograde of September 4th 2022 to March 17th 2023, on to Jupiter in Gemini, then Uranus in Gemini (the local travel revolution).
We get there because The Fool falls off a cliff. Some will be lucky in 2022 and hear the warning and turn back, or scramble for a way back. This Tarot card, though, is also a jagged sharemarket graph and airlines and cruise companies will hit the point of no return, purely because they kept going.
In the place of globalisation we will find we go local because an electric car from a shared neighbourhood station can only take us so far. But that’s another story for this Substack, another time.
