UK bricklayers 'on £1,000-a-week amid skill gap'



Building companies in London have hired Portuguese bricklayers on £1,000-a-week wages because of a shortage of skilled Britons, a recruitment firm has said. The finding was revealed by Manpower, whose research is said to have confirmed industry fears of a lack of suitably-trained workers. Manpower managing director Mark Cahill said he was told the normal £500-a-week pay for bricklayers was being doubled. The government says it is working with firms to "nurture home-grown talent". According to Manpower's research, prospects in the construction industry are at their strongest level since 2007. BBC; Dec. 9; http://www.bbc.com/news/uk-30390005








Of all cardinal ingresses,  the Capricorn Ingress of the Sun  is the “master” chart of the year. Shown here is the Capricorn Ingress at London. Notice that the Sun which is part of a powerful and transformative Grand Cross is placed in the 6th house associated with labourers and the working class.  The Kronos-Hades combination represents both the humling of those in authority as well as the recognition of the working class. But now here comes the surprise. Uranus [8ar] is conjunct stars of the Chinese asterism Tou-Koung, The Bricklayers. These were people gathered under the supervision of the Master Bricklayer to repair clay houses that had deteriorated during the winter-spring rains! [1]





Progressing the chart to December 9, the date of the news, aligns the Cross with the horizon axis triggering the event.

As a further confirmation a chart drawn for Venus ingress into Capricorn on December 10, aligns Venus and Kronos-Hades with the horizon axis.

Hades-Venus: If we see Venus as “valuing” and  Hades as the lower class or working class, the combination can mean the valuing of the working class.
