The world is in bad shape; some say critical condition. Division is at crisis point. The fear of war increases the demand for guns and bombs. Defense spending escalates. The economic and social costs of covid-19 are ongoing. Pandemic restrictions eroded democratic freedoms. Insecurity has people hoarding money. Some say the poor toil in poverty so the rich can play. Tragedy and misery are the news media’s default option.
February 4, 2022: On the opening day of the Winter Olympics China and Russia declare a ‘no limits’ partnership backing each other over standoffs on Ukraine and Taiwan.

Back story: Mars conjunct Saturn – March 31, 2020
In March 2020, as Mars in the sky closed in on Saturn, the covid-19 pandemic was spreading at break-neck speed. Countries went into lockdown and closed their borders. The world shut down. Life as we knew it stopped. Share markets tumbled. Fear ignited a wave of panic buying. Economies crumbled. The world was speeding towards recession. Millions of workers lost their jobs. The military were called into to help overwhelmed health services. There was a shortage of protective gear, test kits and coffins. (Money poured in to find a covid vaccine.) The airline industry crashed. The cruise-ship industry sank. Boris Johnson had a NDE. And popularist world leaders displayed staggering levels of ignorance.
On March 31 when Mars and Saturn rendezvoused in the sky the covid pandemic was surging out-of-control. A covid-war was being fought in 206 countries; 820,000 people had been infected and over 40,000 had died. In America the death toll surpassed 3,000.
(By February 9, 2022 the world wide case count had topped 401 million and the death count had surpassed 5.7 million. America’s death toll had surpassed 900,000.)
So, with the covid-19 pandemic still raging in many countries the in-sky Mars-Saturn conjunction on April 5, 2022 could trigger another pandemic emergency. Long covid and its effects on health and work are an issue.
