Some of my history is a little rusty, but look at these years, 1835, 1836 – remember the Alamo? Uranus into Pisces? Sure. Then 1919, 1920…. Coming up soon, this year… Zero Pisces gets it several times. This [url=http://americanpeace.eccmei.net/]site yielded nascent information about history and violence. What intrigued me was the occupation and invasion of South American countries. Look: I live in Texas, a land wrestled from a Mexican dictator under, well, slightly dubious conditions. Remember the Alamo.
In 1920, the first oil well in the [url=http://atlas.thc.state.tx.us/scripts/viewform.cgi?atlas_num=5335001230&site_name=Discovery%20Well%20of%20the%20Permian%20Basin%2C%20T%20%26%20P%20No.%201%20-%20W.H.%20Abrams%20No.%201%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20&class=&SEARCHTYPE=ARCHIVES]Permian Basin came in. Since I’ve spent the last decade or more, passing through that area, I’m personally fond of Permian Basin. Terrain’s rough, but the characters are one-of-a-kind. Oh yeah.
But it’s tough country out there. Even the [url=http://www.astrofish.net/aimages/visorc/pages/cactus2_jpg.htm]vegetation is coarse and spiny, covered with thick skin and sharp needles. And that’s just the [i]pretty[/i] cactus.
Oil. “4th largest oil producing area in the country,” is what the site suggested. That’s just the Permian Basin, too. The number I’ve heard bantered about, true or not, is that Texas – on its own – is the 7th largest oil producing state in world. Now, Uranus is going into Pisces in March. With the threat of war looming over our heads, the idea of that liquid resource that powers us right now comes back into focus. Some kind of strange Texas focus?
I’m picking out two historical events, and while there are others, like prohibition (Uranus into Pisces), these two events and their dates have a lot to do with my [url=http://www.astrofish.net/weblog/comments.php?id=P399_0_1_0_C]world.
I’m completely unsure of what the connections are, at this point. Trying to delve into future possibilities these days is rather difficult, given the upheaval in parts of the world.
I’m just back from a flying weekend of readings, work and friends in [url=http://www.astrofish.net/xkramerw/archive98/10.5.98.htm]El Paso – the bastard step-child of Texas. Its history is longer, more varied, and the clash of cultures, or the melting pot, is rich.
What’s this got to do with the price of gasoline and Uranus entering Pisces in a few weeks? With astrology readings, I usually ask a few pointed questions about what happened when so I can more accurately foretell (extrapolate) what the portents indicate for what’s coming up. Instead of worrying about the exact definition, according to the books and establish astrology lore, I tend to look for trends and what a significant element means to an individual.
The Battle for the Republic of Texas, or the Texas Independence War, or whatever we’re calling it these days, that was a symbolic event from Uranus into Pisces. Oil in West Texas, another symbolic event. So what’s coming up?
Remember the Alamo. (And for those us so burdened, it’s time to pay state sales tax).
