It’s an old, well-worn Uranus-Neptune-Pluto
story: Neptune erodes every structure and institution it touches, and eventually
a critical point is reached where one isolated event cascades into bigger and
bigger significance.
We seem to be experiencing this today on at least two
fronts: one mass killing incident (Uranus shock) follows on the heels
of another, washing away our national sense of security like a sand castle at
high tide. Qui bono? Gun
manufacturing sales and stock prices soar! Pluto rings the Wall Street bell.
The avalanche of sexual assault
revelations hitting the news lately is similar—the shock of it all evokes Uranus,
while Neptune—which helped maintain
the “code of silence” that undergirds so many of our social institutions
(including corporate life and the entertainment biz), now gets around to eroding that code. A few chinks in the silence
appeared here and there with early revelations (Neptune), making it
possible for Uranus (via brave individuals) to explode the
code further.
It was time. The longer these crimes go unaddressed, denied and enabled (more
Neptune),
the more our nation’s moral core rots from within. Pluto’s on board with
that because new life eventually emerges out of all that rot. With Pluto’s
return to its radix position in the Sibly chart looming in 2022, it’s simply time for this karmic sludge to be
processed. Not just with women, but with any
toxic power relations that have wormed their way into our social fabric.
Of course, real lives are at stake
in all this erosion and corruption, but people who should be able to offer more
solutions often deliver prayers and condolences instead, with no second act.
Pontius Pilate washing his hands of the death sentence imposed on Jesus Christ
comes to mind. Maybe the traumatized people of the Sutherland Springs Baptist
church are bravely trying to believe that there’s something redemptive about the 26
deaths they suffered—that God is with them, no matter what--but the promise of redemption somehow rings very hollow.
As hollow as an addict claiming that
he “can stop using any time,” or that she will “get her act together… as soon
as she gets that next hit.” Under Neptune’s most toxic influence, it’s
possible to become addicted to victimization itself. We’ve all known such
individuals, but is that also where we’re at as a nation?
Happily, women are saying loud and
clear that they’re not prepared to be victims of sexual abuse any longer, even
though somewhere in the tortured history of gender relations the idea took root that such sacrifices are a “woman’s place.” When that
Alabama politician attempted to defend
Roy Moore from pedophilia claims by saying that in the Bible, Mary was a
teenager, married to Joseph, an older man, is that what he was implying?
There’s nothing sacred about such toxic sacrifices, in the end: Congress
washes its hands of thousands of American gun violence victims every year with
its support of the Gun Lobby, and it is equally corrupt when it enables
dangerous players like Roy Moore to take a seat in Congress. Passive enabling
of violence and corruption—a Mars-Neptune phenomenon—is just
another way of pulling the trigger.
Neptune assures that this toxic quest
is not only glorified for individuals; it’s
also tacitly accepted for masses of
people who find themselves being sacrificed to the “higher powers.” That’s
where we find ourselves today with the Trump-Kim Jong Un stand-off at the
nuclear OK Corral. According to foreign correspondent Richard Engel, a gradual
build-up of forces in that region has been mustering quietly behind the
bombastic, provocative rhetoric between these two.
Millions of lives could be at stake, of course—in fact, if I read
Engel’s reporting correctly, a war of choice is fast becoming a war of
inevitability. This is the same process we saw with Vietnam and Iraq: those
conflicts were plotted out months or even years in advance, and could have been prevented. The key
difference in the U.S.-North Korea conflict would be the spectre of nuclear
escalation.
Every military person I’ve heard on
the topic of North Korea says that there would be “no good options” for waging
war over there. Most expect that even a limited conflict would be a bloodbath,
if not outright genocide. Of course, that’s how rolling atrocities unfold, obscured
by an enabling, distracting Neptunian smokescreen. If history’s
any guide, we rarely know what the true objectives or facts are before the
damage is done. As any Pluto-watcher might say, “follow the
money!”
Which brings us to a
fast-approaching, important transiting milestone.
A
significant ingress is just around the bend
Among the many outer-planetary
“moments” approaching, I think the upcoming Uranus ingress into
Taurus in May, 2018 will put a lot of the issues we’ve explored here into
perspective, and more. Uranus rules technology, and in
earth sign Taurus, we might expect to see a focus on pragmatic, yet high-tech
solutions to earth-bound problems.
This upcoming Taurus period has
concerned me for awhile, frankly—it’s a topic I covered in an April/May article
in The Mountain Astrologer[1]
about the 2020 Jupiter-Saturn cycle (launching in Aquarius in December, 2020)—importantly,
because Uranus in Taurus will dispose that
cycle and wield long term influence.
For now, however, Uranus
is lingering in the last few volatile degrees of Aries, so we’re not out of the
woods yet (maybe there’s been enough volatility
lately?). Looking forward, though, I think the following excerpt captures my initial
concerns:
“Clearly a key player in this [2020 Jupiter-Saturn] cycle, Taurus Uranus
will hopefully drive earth-friendly technological developments, but we’ll need
constructive ways to channel the distracting intrigue of Mars-Eris-90-Pluto [an
aspect contained in the 2020 cycle chart] and Neptune-enhanced toxic emotions.
Otherwise developments such as a new high-tech generation of weapons (a nuclear
arms race with North Korea?) and mercenary warriors (or robots who push the
limits of military ethics for free) could become the default. There’s a lot at
stake here.”[2]
In fact, the warnings from
military experts like Gen. Barry McCaffrey are mounting, with precise “Uranus
timing.” McCaffrey predicted last night on the Rachel Maddow show (a Richard Engel
report) that if the administration’s present course doesn’t change, we will
most likely be engaged in a shooting war with North Korea by “next summer.”
That’s perfectly timed for the upcoming Uranus ingress, of course, so we’ll
examine that May chart alongside both the Sibly chart and North Korea’s radix
chart for some perspective.
It’s not unusual for wars
to launch under fresh cycle milestones involving Uranus, in fact: the
American Civil War broke out after a decade of building tensions, tensions set
alight by the June 1850 Uranus-Pluto cycle in late Aries;
Pearl Harbor was attacked (and war declared) just as Saturn and Uranus
were settling into their new cycle in late Taurus (first exact in May, 1942);
the Vietnam War escalated and became a quagmire as the 1965 Uranus-Pluto
cycle in Virgo took hold; and the Iraq war’s timing was thoroughly premeditated
for March, 2003, the same month that the Uranus-Neptune mutual reception
(Pisces-Aquarius) fell into place.
And, if we consider the
long historical perspective, we’ll see that building national infrastructure
and waging war are sometimes connected—a common factor being the presence of Uranus in Taurus! Another
excerpt fills in more background:
“History offers interesting precedents: Uranus transited Taurus in the
1850s and in the 1930s—both periods of industrial development and material
progress preceding major wars. After each war, the infrastructures and
inventions created (railroads in the 1860s, our manufacturing base in the
1940s) were repurposed for economic expansion. We’ve also seen this happen with
the Internet—(originally the military’s “Arpanet”)—a Cold War-era invention.
Perhaps war doesn’t have to be the only motivation for developing
infrastructures?”[3]
I mentioned in the last
post here that there’s been an unfortunate connection between waging wars,
resource exploitation and economic prosperity that makes fighting to preserve
the peace a low priority for our political leaders, and this astro-historical
perspective lends insight. So, Uranus disposing the airy Aquarius 2020
Jupiter-Saturn
cycle from Taurus—an earth sign—could
bring many positive developments down the road, but can we avoid the violent
costs? If it’s up to some, we’ll see another generation of warfare. How much
bad karma can one nation amass before something goes tragically awry?
Positive possibilities for Uranus in Taurus
A re-focused look at our
economy and the values underpinning economic policies would be constructive,
for starters. The following are a few common sense/pragmatic possibilities that
I suggested in that TMA article:
·
“rebuilding our crumbling or out-dated
infrastructures (roads, bridges, etc.) with sustainable materials that can
withstand earthquakes, prevent sinkholes, etc.
·
producing new technologies that improve resource
stocks (energy, land/soil, drinking water, clean air, bandwidth) and their
efficient use. (Our electric grid—Aquarius—is in dire need of updating. China
is slated to have 20 million electric cars on the road by this time—what are we
waiting for?).
·
producing technologies and infrastructures that help
prevent and predict, rather than cause
environmental disasters, epidemics, and cyber-terrorism, and that help us
respond more effectively when such things happen.
·
educating the next generation of Americans to be
“makers, not takers,”[4]
creating the jobs they need to thrive and the support systems they need to have
a voice (a new re-imagined era of labor unions?).”[5]
Because war is such an
“easy money” industry (easy for Wall Street, at least), shifting our national
priorities towards more peace-time pursuits is never easy. Shifting our focus
from pointless, environmentally-destructive dollar churning can be difficult,
too—especially when assault weapons used in mass killings or war are as
important to our GDP-driven economy as life-saving medications and
infrastructure projects are. Such amoral equivalencies fuel what economist
David Korten calls the “death economy.”[6]
So, clearly, the time Uranus
spends in Taurus could be very consequential. I’m happy to report that volatile
Eris
is no longer conjunct Uranus in the new ingress chart, but
there are some other trigger-happy dynamics to deal with.
Let’s consider the ingress
chart on its own for now. Connections to the U.S. Sibly or Trump charts (not
shown) will be pointed out, if they seem significant. As noted earlier, we will
then quickly consider some connections with the radix charts for both the U.S.
and North Korea.
Chart
#1: Uranus enters Taurus, May 15, 2018, 7:32:05 a.m. DST, Washington, D.C. Tropical Equal Houses, True Node.
Venus-Pallas in Gemini rises, trine Aquarius
MC; chart ruler Mercury conjoins MC ruler Uranus (both in Taurus). This
is an “upbeat” chart in a lot of ways: Uranus is happily placed in its
comfortable 11th house, conjoined its close, cerebral sidekick and
“press secretary” Mercury. The Venus and Pallas connections suggest
a fruitful period for innovators, communicators, transportation, the justice
system (Pallas), and of course,
technology in general (Aquarius MC, ruled by Venus-disposed Uranus). We should recall, however, that Venus often supports war efforts--indeed, Athena herself was often pictured in battle garb, so a positive-looking Venus is no guarantee of peace!
This MC is actually quite
significant: it conjoins the Sibly Moon (Aquarius), and opposes Trump’s Mars-ASC (Leo)
conjunction, suggesting that the People’s
agenda might actually take precedence over Trump’s in the 7-year period ahead! With
that said, it’s also clear that he will benefit from this chart: the chart ASC-Venus-Pallas
(Gemini) tie quite tightly into his natal Sun-Uranus-No. Node to Moon-So.
Node opposition (Gemini-Sagittarius). More on this when we consider the
national charts.
The ingress New Moon (Taurus) also conjoins
his Taurus MC, so yes, once again, timing is everything, and Trump
will continue dominating our national attention. With Pallas as part of this
mix, however, the spotlight he bathes in may originate in the Justice
Department!
Back to the ingress chart itself, a
Taurus Uranus in a Venus-blessed chart signals a
prosperous period marked by pragmatic technological solutions and innovations. “Necessity
is the mother of invention” comes to mind, as it should. We want technology to
serve practical needs, right? The pitfall here could be the way in which
“necessity” is defined by those holding the reins of power and the purse.
Will
we see a new technological age that’s designed to serve the needs of everyone, or simply the top tiers? Those
watching the coming “robot invasion” are wary, at best, yet the Aquarius
MC-Sibly Moon conjunction could be hopeful in this regard.
Venus and Mercury occupy each
others’ ruling signs, so they enjoy a nice mutual reception. The Venus-Pallas
duo suggests a strong focus on justice—perhaps the Uranus transit ahead
(marked by the ingress) will pioneer a more egalitarian distribution of wealth?
Hope springs eternal!
As suggested in that earlier
bullet-point list, Uranus’s time in Taurus is likely to be a “building” period—a
good time to tackle our decaying infrastructure—definitely a pragmatic step
forward. The economy is likely to be strong: Saturn (Rx here) will be in Capricorn at this point,
widely trine Uranus-Mercury, signaling an eventual return to productive
regulatory frameworks and stronger institutional structures. This is not the plan in Trump Land right now, but
Saturn
likes a little law and order. We’ll be able to tell more once it goes
direct in September 2018.
We shouldn’t think that Saturn’s
entrance in Capricorn will be the cure-all for what ails our national
institutions, however: Saturn will be in the final few
degrees of its November, 1982 cycle with Pluto (beginning at 27°+Libra), so there’s also likely
to be a “clearing out” of outworn
institutions, in preparation for the much more thorough re-engineering process
beginning in 2020 (new Saturn-Pluto cycle).
Let’s hope that
our system of democratic checks and balances between three equal branches of
government isn’t on the chopping block. Trump shows few signs of respecting
that system, so something to be aware of.
Jupiter Rx in Scorpio opposes Sun-Moon
conjunct in Taurus. Interestingly, this Uranus ingress is
happening at a nearly exact New Moon. Lady Luna is exalted in Taurus, so
there’s a nice, hopeful, fertile feel
to this lunation. The Sun and Moon fall in the 12th
house, reinforcing the sense that a “renaissance” is gestating behind the
scenes, waiting for the right time to emerge. Jupiter Rx signals a
period of quietly nourishing this development (being retrograde) through its
almost “umbilical” opposition.
A massive investment fund (Scorpio) will
probably be fueling this developing “new world” after Jupiter goes direct in
mid-July (2018). I am wary about this Jupiter, however, because the possibility
of war is looming—more on that when we look at North Korea’s chart.
In Scorpio, it’s likely this Jupiter
will play a role in the tax reform package the GOP is trying to ram
through. A big boost to the upper crust’s wealth would make sense with these
aspects, and Paul Ryan seems inordinately certain that the GOP reform bill will
pass, but others are claiming the corporate
tax cuts will now be put off for 2019, which is probably more in keeping with Jupiter’s
movements. As both Saturn and Jupiter close in on Sibly
Pluto between now and 2020, we’ll most likely see something come to fruition in regards to taxes.
Jupiter trines Neptune (Pisces), at
the same time it sextiles Pluto (Capricorn), which are nice aspects on the
surface, but in unscrupulous hands, they can be put to very corrupt use. Positively,
they could accomplish great things,
stimulating an outpouring of idealism (which could make for a high-turn-out, “wave”
election year), but here’s the rub: in Scorpio, Jupiter already allies
itself with the agendas of Mars and Pluto (co-ruling
Scorpio), and both these ruling planets are in Capricorn. We need to remember
that democracy is not a corporate
priority. If it were, Facebook and Twitter would not be in the compromised
mess they are right now.
Jupiter and Neptune in aspect in two
water signs could also loosen any regulations remaining on the corporate world
and make cutting through the fog (Neptune in Pisces) of cover-ups and
obfuscation (the “Swamp”) very difficult. This nice trine is what I’d call the
“Santa Claus” aspect—factor in the power-playing going on with the Jupiter-Pluto
aspect and we see that a tax giveaway to the 1% could be like Christmas
all year long! The generosity won’t be unbridled, however—it’ll be more conditional (“loyalty” tests) and selective.
Trump is hankering for a big tax
giveaway (the Jupiter-Neptune trine can act like Santa Claus, but watch out
what you wish for), and since he filed the paperwork for a re-election campaign
in 2020 sometime last January, his concern is hardly altruistic. Will his big
donors and other wealthy support networks abandon him if it doesn’t happen?
Pluto will remain opposite Trump’s Saturn-Venus
(Cancer, chart not shown) for years to come, so we probably haven’t
seen the end of his conflicts of interest or his involvement in Big Money
politics. This is reinforced more generally by Pluto’s upcoming return to
Sibly
Pluto. Worst case scenario:
we see a real “Clash of the Titans” atmosphere in Election 2018—a “billionaires
only” gladiatorial games. Best case
scenario: Saturn’s time in Capricorn trine
Uranus (Taurus) will begin to really hold the “swamp” accountable.
Moving along in the background, of
course, will be the Mueller investigation: it will be interesting to see if the
Uranus
ingress brings the investigation to a new level, one way or another. I suspect
it will. Saturn (Capricorn) in this chart opposes Trump’s Mercury
(Cancer), which disposes his Gemini points, so he may feel more
constrained than usual.
There are positive potentials for
the Jupiter
aspects we’re discussing as well: it’s possible that the new “waves” of
outspokenness—at the ballot box, on Twitter with #MeToo, especially—will reach
a critical turning point that tips over into serious change. This past Election
Day was enough to put color back into the Dems’ cheeks, of course, but even in
general, we should see a period of less doom and gloom, if we can avoid war. An activist speaking on the radio this morning
said that her group has so many volunteers it doesn’t know what to do with them
all—as she put it, “a good problem to have.”
So, people are ignoring the doomsayers and putting their energies where
their values and ideals are—a good plan! We’re seeing this effect now because Jupiter
and Neptune
are already within orb of the trine, which will persist into next October, with
breaks for the retrograde “dance” in and out of orb. More on this aspect as it
unfolds.
As positive as some possibilities
are, I’m still concerned about the fact that both Jupiter-Neptune and Jupiter-Pluto
aspects overlap in this chart: this suggests that we’re looking at a
7-year period (Uranus transits through each sign approximately that long) in
which there will be tension between the forces promoting innovative, idealistic
progress and those who will try to use their great resources and power to
control the shape of that progress. Jupiter, Neptune and Pluto
will move on beyond these aspects during that 7 years, of course, but the
ingress chart will set a certain tone for the entire period and will wield some
influence.
There will be a serious effort to
control the political narrative, of course, and those looking for war to boost
their bottom lines have the script down pat. Will the ingress provide
opportunistic timing for them? Let’s consider the ingress and relevant national
charts.
The
ingress and the U.S.-North Korea charts
North Korea’s chart is a noon chart,
so we won’t be dwelling on house placements, angles and Moon degrees; with the
U.S. chart we can be more specific. Because we’ve considered the ingress set
for Washington, D.C. above, I’ve cast the outer wheel here for P’yongyang. The
ASC-DSC axis in both charts falls in mutable signs (flipped from
Gemini-Sagittarius in the D.C. chart and Sagittarius-Gemini in the NK chart),
so there’s an unstable, change-oriented feel to both charts.
Let’s consider some key highlights
from this triwheel.
Triwheel
#1: (inner wheel) U.S. Sibly
Chart, July 4, 1776, 5:10 p.m. LMT, Philadelphia, PA; (middle wheel) North
Korea, September 10, 1948, 12:00 p.m. ST, P’yongyang, NW, N. Korea. Source:
Nicholas Campion, Book of World
Horoscopes, Chart #179, p. 180.; (outer wheel) Uranus enters
Taurus, May 15, 2018, 8:32:05 p.m. ST, P’yongyang, North Korea. Tropical Equal Houses, True Node.
Interchart
Grand-Cross: Ingress Uranus-Mercury
conjoins NK No. Node (all Taurus) and opposes NK Mars-So. Node (Scorpio); this
axis squares Ingress No. Node-NK Venus-Sibly No. Node (Leo) opposite Ingress
Mars-Sibly Pluto (Capricorn). Please note that Mars and
Sibly Pluto are part of this configuration because even though they are
“out-of-sign,” they’re within a generous 8-10°
orb in the oppositions and squares involved (tighter orbs are preferable, but
given upcoming transits, these points are certainly part of the picture). Mars
will be moving into Aquarius shortly after this ingress, in fact, tightening
the configuration.
If hostilities haven’t broken out by
this time, we can see here that they’re threatening to do so. There’s a “fated”
quality to the nodal connections here, which makes sense considering we fought
a torturous war in Korea in the 1950s (probably driven by the “military
industrial complex” Eisenhower warned us about) that has never been settled!
With the Sibly nodal axis tied into
this configuration, we’re seeing a significant, potentially volatile (Ingress
Uranus-NK Mars opposition) turning point in North Korea’s fortunes (Venus),
if not our own. The Sibly 2nd-8th house axis is
implicated here—again, we have to wonder if there are financial/resource
motivations for military actions on the Korean peninsula. Does Trump have
designs on controlling that strategic Asian outpost for some reason? Qui bono?
Interchart
Mutable Grand Cross: Ingress Neptune
(Pisces) opposes NK Sun-Sibly Neptune (Virgo); this axis squares Ingress
Venus-Sibly Mars (Gemini) opposite Ingress ASC (set for P’yongyang)-NK Jupiter-Sibly
ASC (Sagittarius). The potential for a clash between our two nations is
pretty clear here—the volatility across the Sibly horizon is enough to say
that. To keep all this in perspective, we need to note that this entire
configuration also ties into Trump’s
natal Gemini-Sagittarius Sun-Moon-Uranus-nodal axis
configuration, and it’s not all sweetness and light for him, either.
The North Korean people are
undoubtedly being served as distorted a picture of what their leader is doing (Neptune
opposite their Sun) as we are of Trump’s actions and motives. Clearly, we are
the natural “foil” for North Korea’s every problem: NK Jupiter is locked in a
perpetual quest to oppose our Sibly Mars, and that quest is being
facilitated these days by added factors (including Trump).
We’ve seen him in action in Asia
this week, taking the bizarre step of pulling the U.S. out of multilateral trade
deals in that region, supposedly in the interest of “America First,” but to their credit, none of the ASEAN nations
are lining up to negotiate new, bilateral deals with him. Why should they?
Asian cultures value cooperation and collaboration far more than “me
first.” Bottom line, it appears that Trump
is undermining a lot of American companies, manufacturers and farmers who count
on Asian trade deals for their livelihoods. Can we expect skyrocketing prices
down the road on Asian-produced goods? Walmart
shoppers, beware!
So, is Trump negotiating from a
position of strength or weakness on this one, and what relationship does all
this have to the North Korean dilemma? To many, it looks like Trump is paving
the way for “China
First,” yet he is looking for Asian nations to cooperate with the
denuclearization and sanctioning of North Korea. A mutable grand cross can be
chaotic and tense because it poses irrational demands—that’s the overwhelming
sense here. This ingress could be very favorable for China, as a matter of
fact—a story for another day!
Interchart
Fixed Grand Cross: Ingress Sun-Moon
(Taurus) opposes Ingress Jupiter-NK Chiron (Scorpio); this axis squares NK
Saturn (Leo) opposed to Sibly Moon-NK Part-of-Fortune (Aquarius). Again, Trump’s chart ties into
everything happening here: his Mars tightly conjoins NK
Saturn in Leo, so the hot-headed Twitter war between the two leaders is
well-founded and not likely to subside. Trump’s MC is conjoined by the Ingress
Sun-Moon in fixed Taurus, so a “new day” for his image in the world
will dawn along with this ingress. So much could happen between now and then
that I hesitate to predict specifics, but Trump will be grabbing the spotlight
one way or another (when is he not?).
And, because North Korea’s wounds
from the 1950s have never healed (Chiron), there will be more defiance
from them. With that Neptune opposition to their radix Sun, noted
above, Kim Jong-Un is likely feeling very insecure and victimized. Trump, of
course, continues to poke at those insecurities, like the playground bully he
is. There’s too much ego invested in the war of words between these two, and
that’s a recipe for disaster. Unfortunately, it’s not the arrogant leaders who
typically bury their children in war time.
The NK Saturn opposition and
the Ingress
Sun-Moon square to our Sibly Moon is concerning in this
regard; our younger generations are carrying a heavy load these days, and this
doesn’t appear helpful. Reinforcing that notion is a “wedge” configuration: Ingress
Uranus-Mercury (Taurus) sextile Sibly Venus-Jupiter (Cancer) while
Ingress Saturn (Capricorn) opposes those same points and widely trines Ingress
Uranus-Mercury. This, while Ingress Saturn also quincunxes Sibly
Uranus (Gemini). Some economic progress, perhaps, but the trade-offs in
the workplace could be difficult and frustrating.
A future we can look forward to…
So much more could be teased out of
this triwheel, of course, and since this story is going to unfold over the long
term, we’ll have lots more to consider. Let’s end by considering some high-tech
possibilities looming out there as Uranus moves into Taurus--possibilities we might look forward to!
Conserving the planet for human habitation is already a moneymaking quest, but
it will become more so! Corporate
profit-making doesn’t have to be a
deadly phenomenon. Green technologies have come down in price, and a good part
of the world is gearing up for the switch to electric cars, if not autonomous electric vehicles. Transportation
itself is being re-envisioned—Uber
(in association with NASA, no less) just released plans for self-driving, flying taxis, to be buzzing our skies within 20 years, and
these vehicles will be 100% electric!
So, if we can balance all that with a sane approach to job creation, there’s plenty of money to be
made out there for innovative corporations and a vibrant peace-time economy (wouldn’t that be refreshing). So, it'll be high time to resolve the short-term profits/long-term environmental dilemma caused by fossil fuel technologies. Other countries are doing it--why not us?!
I doubt there are
many American companies that are happy to stand by and watch the rest of the
world sail by, producing the “next big thing,” and under this coming Uranus transit, they shouldn't have to! China is certainly capitalizing
on clean energy technologies these days, as are other Climate Accord signees—why should we hold back?
