The Sabian symbol for the Moon at 27 Capricorn: Pilgrims climbing the steep steps leading to a mountain shrine. This symbolizes the ascent of the individualized consciousness to the highest realization reached by the spiritual leaders of its culture. This is a call to greater consciousness, a consciousness that spiritual teachers of all religions have handed down to us. It is time, and past time, to walk the 'steep steps' that will bring us to a larger vision. The Force will be with us.
Ceres in Cancer, Capricorn Full Moon alert! Buy local organic food. (From the Organic View, Spring 2008.)
“Risng food prices and shortages have joined the energy and climate crisis, economic recession, and the war in Iraq as headline news. While consumers struggle to pay their bills and put food on the table, Monsanto, Cargill, and Archer Daniels Midland rake in billions from taxpayer-subsidized biofuels. Monopolizing markets, polluting the environment with genetically modified organisms, and hoarding future reserves of crop seeds, wheat, rice, soy, corn, and other grains, the food and gene giants profit from global crisis and misery. Adding fuel to the fire, Wall Street speculators have shifted their greed from sub-prime mortgages to food and non-renewable resources.
The public is becoming aware of the multiple causes of the food crisis: millions of acres of corn and soybeans diverted into biofuels; corporate-driven free trade agreements that discourage nations from maintaining grain reserves and becoming self-sufficient in food production; massive subsidies for industrial agriculture and a misguided export model forcing millions of family farmers off the land; sharply escalating oil prices, farm inputs, and transportation costs; commodity speculation; population growth; a growing demand for feed grains for meat consumption, and most ominously, a destabilized climate spawning deadly droughts, pests, floods, and unpredictable weather. “
The answer: Buy locally. Buy organic.
