Copenhagen Conference on Climate Change 2009

OK, here's my best guess just now for the start of the conference. Of course the build up has been happening for months but it should be coming together at this point. Notice the Jupiter, Chiron, Neptune conjunction opposing the moon. The moon gives the whole situation a strong emotional tone. Mars is closing in but turns retrograde and does not complete the opposition until May 2010; putting promises into action could take time!

Of course the start time for this conference is a guess, but how nice it is when the guess looks interesting! The ascendant sextiles the conjuntion and trines the moon. If we could but see it, it also trines Eris in Aries, the goddess of discord who is retrograde at 20 degrees Aries 58 seconds. Although the conjunction has been referred to as "the Obama effect" implying high hopes and glamour, Eris suggests intense arguments as well.

If we want to know why this is, remember that Sedna, the Inuit goddess of the sea and the fishes is retrograde at 21 Taurus 08. Sedna opposes Ceres in Scorpio. She speaks about the grief of seafaring and fishing people's at the potential loss of both fish stocks and their homeland. For many we are all in the last chance saloon. It may even be too late to save some countries.
