Insanely Concentrated Wealth Is Strangling Our Prosperity


Draco – the dragon guarding treasure




Remember Smaug the dragon, in The Hobbit? He hoarded up a vast pile of wealth, and then he just hung out in his cave, sitting on it (with occasional forays to further pillage and immolate the local populace). That’s what you should think of when you consider the mind-boggling hoards of wealth that the very rich have amassed in America over the last forty years. Sept. 18 http://linkis.com/evonomics.com/zNl23




A pair of solar eclipses every year  support our evolutionary progression in consciousness.  The February 26, 2017  New Moon eclipse in Aquarius conjoined the stars forming the Urn of Aquarius. The stars of the Urn articulate natural resources and the flow of those resources to humanity. The eclipse, therefore, brings emphasis to humanity's fundamental needs, to resources that fulfill those needs, and to the unimpeded flow of those resources to all of humanity. It raises issues regarding the restrictive control and exploitation of resources that lead to an unhealthy and frail human populous, and our need to address those issues [1].




The author of the article, Steve Roth,  is a Seattle-based  entrepreneur. A chart for the solar eclipse at Seattle has it placed very prominently on the Ascendant opposite the star Thuban. On September 18, the date of the article, transit Mars [8vi] conjoined Thuban [8vi] and opposed the eclipse degree [8pi] triggering the entire configuration.

Alpha (α) Draco, Thuban, is a pale yellow star in the Dragon. The constellation Draco often refers to greed for money and power and in mythology, Dragons are shown sitting on a pile of wealth.
Furthermore, the eclipse is anchored to the Jupiter-Uranus-Pluto T-square, suggesting that the evolutionary process require the satisfactory resolution of the energies of the T. A short list of the Uranus-Pluto conflicts that we’re feeling and seeing during this decade include the poor against the rich, the powerless against the powerful, the disenfranchised against the privileged, plus social institutions and massive corporations against the individuals they are chartered to serve.


The third player in the T-square, Jupiter in Libra welcomes us to openly engage in dialogue about what's broken, with the various stakeholders whose needs currently aren't being effectively met and/or who might have some novel suggestions for how to improve or refine the governing master-plan so it better addresses the divergent concerns of a wider audience. Jupiter's additional voice presents us the possibility of opening up to new alternatives for how to concurrently address both Uranus-in-Aries's liberatory impulses and Pluto-in-Capricorn's repressive institutional structures. But this is not going to happen automatically;  Jupiter merely fosters a climate in which the efforts we intentionally make to actively create such alternatives will receive benefic support from Jupiter. But it just as likely that, without our mindful directional steering of its energy toward particular aims, Jupiter will instead simply magnify the Uranus-Pluto dynamics leading to rebellion against corrupt institutions that have outlived their usefulness. The status quo cannot hold together much longer. It’s already coming apart at the seams as institutions break down. Over the coming decade, the old status quo will be replaced by a different or at least modified structure, either for better or worse.
