Was That The Last ‘Davos’?

Is ‘Davos’ done? Don’t worry, this is not a political rave: it’s a look at the astro-logistics of Davos the town, the World Economic Forum and it’s founder Klaus Schwab.

Davos, as you probably know, is a town in the Swiss Alps that plays host to an annual meeting of the economic elite. It’s always been controversial but lately even some of it’s most fervent fans are jaded.

This year the first images streamed out of Davos were of the protest signs hanging outside some of the residents homes and if you believe the tabloids, visiting sex workers outnumbered the attendees.

The irony of flying in one’s plane (the most popular private jet on the market consumes 450 gallons of gas per flight hour) to talk about climate solutions has been well-covered elsewhere.

In a rapidly de-globalizing environment, the globalist ideology of the WEF is being questioned or  – more succinctly – a former New York Times editor and Davos attendee deemed it “a circle jerk.”

Astrologically, it’s approaching a pivot point. The Davos/WEF phenom was ‘born’ on January 24, 1971, giving it a 3 degree Aquarius Sun, a big-scope Mars, Jupiter, Neptune conjunction in Sagittarius and Saturn in Taurus.

Right now, Uranus in Taurus is buzzing the natal Saturn until March, then Saturn in Pisces squares the ebullient Saggo alignment all year and most significantly, Pluto will be conjunct the Davos/WEF Sun until 2027.

The zany Uranian element was evident as the orchestrated, official release content from Davos was juxtaposed with live-blogging from the sex workers, a squabble over whether the (super-Uranian) billionare Elon Musk declined an invitation or was never invited in the first place and gonzo footage from fringe media.

Saturn in Pisces squaring the event’s Mars-Jupiter-Neptune will probably force the niggling question of the founder Klaus Schwab’s succession.

A quadruple Aries, he’s apparently flat-out refusing to name or even discuss the concept of a replacement.

He has the Sun, Mercury, Venus and Saturn in Aries plus Mars conjunct Uranus in Taurus. Schwab is 84 – it was his Uranus Return last year – and he’s made it clear that far from standing down, he sees himself as stepping up. He has, for example, referred to himself as chairing meetings in 2045.

He’s also been in disputes with municipal authorities in Davos, accusing them of not appreciating the benefits the WEF meetings brings to the local economy and threatening to host ‘Davos’ in someplace not Davos.

Davos the place has become synonymous with Davos the yearly plutocratic party-fest but the town’s history is way weirder and richer.  It was once, for example, occupied by mountain-worshipping Alpine tribes – the Rhaetians whose name probably came from the Celtic goddess Rhaetia.

The subset who lived at or near Davos were called the Calucones – it translates sensationally as “hard wolves.”

In Romansh, the older Swiss language, the town is Tavaun or Tavau; yet on old maps it shows up as Hauntkirch and Haupt Kirchen – haunted church and high chuch? And where did the name “Davos” come from?

I have a theory: A mountain named Jakobshorn overlooks Davos and there is a 15th Century St Jakob’s church in neighboring Klosters – Klosters comes from “cloisters” and refers to a no-longer-in-existence monastery.

It does, however, show up on older maps but in the place of Davos. The land for this monastery was “gifted” to German monks by a bunch of 13th Century one-percenters called the barons of Vaz. The antique maps that do display ‘Davos” have it as two words – Da Vos.

Could it have something to do with these barons? Vos = Vaz? The WEF website says Schwab’s plutocratic power base at Davos concept was inspired by his love of a surrealist German novel called The Magic Mountain.

Supposedly set at a Davos health spa, it has trippy characters – even one deemed to be ‘a Lilith’ and has gained a cult following. The inspo sort of makes sense. 

But wouldn’t a multiple-Aries with distinct desires to wield power be more inspired by these old-style barons? After all, they held a strategically useful point – the highest town in the alps – but it was of course ultra-godly and an example of their generosity?

Whatever inspired him, perhaps Pluto in Capricorn was the peak Davos/WEF era? Pluto in Aquarius is weeks away and – interestingly – there were wolves seen in Davos on January 19, the first day of Aquarius Season.

Thoughts?
