What's Texas' Sign? Capricorn. [View All]

[Dover]

For those interested in astrology, the planets Pluto and Jupiter will be transiting through Capricorn (Jupiter for about one year and Pluto for about 16 years). Jupiter is expansive, Pluto brings down the walls in order to rebuild out of the ashes...death and rebirth. Ought to be an interesting ride. I can imagine one major scenario along these lines is the bottoming out of the oil industry (in fact there is an article in Tx.M about peak oil and water this month as well).

Excerpt from an article from the latest issue of Texas Monthly Magazine, about a 36 year veteran of astrology, Nan Hall Linke, who lives in Texas:

...You wanted to know about the future of Texas, so I made a chart. Texas was born on December 29, 1845, which means that it is a Capricorn. What I did is I progressed the chart to 2008, to see where things were headed. What’s interesting is that Texas has the planet Jupiter in the sign Taurus, which rules agriculture and animal husbandry. What that says to me is that the future of our state is still in our land—whether it’s oil or wind farming or whatever. The strongest element in the state’s chart is earth, and it’s in a new moon, which is associated with leaders and pioneers, so we should see more innovation. None of that is very surprising. But something did amaze me when I looked at this. I said, “Well, if I didn’t know better, I’d say that this state is going to go Democratic!” Jupiter goes into Capricorn in 2008, and the last time Jupiter was in Capricorn, the state went Republican. Amazing, huh? That’s what astrology does. It helps us see the invisible.
