Over January 9-10-11, three planets, Saturn, Jupiter and Mercury, meet in humanitarian and freedom loving Aquarius. The number three is rather important. We have three different planetary entities that must work in sync to produce positive results, if balance is to be achieved. Here our great efforts should be connected to the common good and allow injustice to come to light. Science and technology should also serve their true purpose; maintain quality of life and preserve dignity. On the flip side,

Aquarius can be aloof and its need for independence can come at a high price, as this energy will not hesitate to tramp over others’ feelings, in order to stubbornly pursue its cause, however noble it may be. This can be detrimental when it comes to Science and its effects on the future of humanity. Here, and in the course of 2021, Scientists will have many opportunities to see their good intention, noble cause and hard work, manipulated for gain. They have a moral responsibility to place their discoveries in the service of improving living conditions, while respecting every living entity’s right to life. Making a great discovery but being, as scientists often can be, singularly focused on the end result and emotionally disconnected, is anything but noble.

Over the course of this decade, the above mentioned is the first out of four planetary meetings (when three planets join forces to make a point-the second one occurs on February 13-14-15, more on February’s Post). This joint account will highlight the need to balance science, technology and noble service, towards our planet and all that lives on it. This is the first, out of four steps. World, mind the gap.
