Climate Change Mitigation and Livestock Farming Done the Natural Way with Carbon Sequestration
Australia has a Climate Change and Energy minister. According to this article, the current Minister is Chris Bowen. The minister administers his or her portfolios through the Department of Climate Change, Energy, the Environment and Water (established on 1 July 2022).
The portfolio is a federal ministerial portfolio responsible for the coordination and implementation of sustainable energy policies by the Australian Government. These policy areas include the mitigation of greenhouse gas emissions, the promotion of energy efficiency, as well as adaptations to climate change within domestic and international contexts. The post wasfirst held by Rex Connor in 1972 as Minister for Minerals and Energy. What does this mean for the ordinary Australian who has to see climate change scuffles in the media all the time, not understanding the details around aspects like emissions tax, and where all this cockamamie is going.
Fortunately astomythology might have some unique insights and answers…
It is said that the trans-Neptunian dwarf planets bring hope, change, expanded thinking, soul purpose, and quantum leaps into our consciousness. So let us put this to the test… Below is an image of the big headed statues on Rapa Nui island, which is part of Makemake mythology. Note the details regarding the stones embedded in the soil in front of the moai statues; they were placed there to stop the erosion of fertile topsoil in the last timeframe before near total collapse of agrarian ethos. There is so much to learn from what had happened on this tiny island full of large heads (note how the head being larger than the body, signifies a ‘hothead’ if drawn in a cartoon). This is explored in greater detail in the MakeMake blog, in the form of those in leadership who think they know better, when their action plan is ultimately DETRIMENTAL for everyone.
What is Climate Change Mitigation?
This Wikipedia page explains that this is about limiting climate change by reducing greenhouse gas emissions or removing greenhouse gases from the atmosphere. It is ‘thought’ the recent rise in global average temperature is mostly due to emissions from burning fossil fuels such as coal, oil, and natural gas. Mitigation is expected to reduce emissions by transitioning to sustainable energy sources, conserving energy, and increasing efficiency.
On the realistic side, it is possible to remove carbon dioxide (CO2) from the atmosphere by enlarging forests, restoring wetlands and using other natural and technical processes. Experts call these processes carbon sequestration. What is not discussed, however, that that cattle that graze healthy, diverse species pasture, also pump the carbon sequestration cycle, working with soil microbes to put more carbon back into the soil. It increases soil fertility, the quality and nutritional value of crops grown, as well as in the pasture that cattle graze on. The problems is that industrial agriculture was an agenda that was pushed significantly in 2014, at the expense of small-scale, sustainable farming. This happened as trans-Neptunian object Sedna was first conjunct malefic fixed star Algol at 26 degrees Taurus. Many Australian and New Zealand farmers are now running intensified cattle operations, where cattle are significantly grain-fed, that to varying degrees, polluting the environment, rivers etc.
Greenhouse Gasses in Agriculture?
Recently there has been talk in climate change circles about “greenhouse gas emissions from agriculture that include methane as well as nitrous oxide. Also about cutting emissions from agriculture by reducing food waste, switching to a more plant-based diet, by protecting ecosystems and by improving farming processes.” This is very curious, because at the core of MakeMake energy there is the polarity between being deprived of nutrient-dense foods (like pasture-raised eggs, meat and dairy) versus being nutritionally satisfied.
The Climate Change Mitigation website continues that “changing energy sources, industrial processes and farming methods can reduce emissions. So can changes in demand, for instance in diets or the way we build and travel in cities.”
Yet many of us don’t want to become vegans.
We want the nutrient-dense food, not an exclusive plant-based diet, and not necessarily meat from industrial agriculture practises, that may not have the same nutritional values as the pasture-raised eggs, meat and dairy, that pumps the carbon engine, make the food more nutritionally superior, and ensures plenty of the fat soluble vitamin A,D,K’s that organisations like the Weston A. Price advocate for.
Climate Change Mitigation has the Good and the Bad all mixed up? Deliberately Deceitful Greenwashing?
Climate change mitigation has a DECIDEDLY OBVIOUS AGENDA when it comes to cattle. This has been evident for many years. However, when the Hammer of Thor apex that MakeMake square Quaoar makes, that has been growing in orb for many years, and is now finally in orb, making a Hammer apex on Uranus, Algol and eventually Sedna in Taurus; its has now become obvious where this is *POTENTIALLY* going.
Many different things generate carbon dioxide, like fossil fuels that are burnt, fracking that releases massive amounts of methane and other natural gasses from the earth etc. But somehow what people eat, and it’s nutritional value, is mixed up in a CLIMATE CHANGE MITIGATION AGENDA. Cattle are blamed for farting, as if that is a more serious problem than the methane seeping out of deep earth, due to fracking?
Also consider the safety concerns about feeding cattle METHANE-reducing supplement.
Asparagopsis seaweed is also highly anti-microbial, which by logic does not seem wholesome for ruminants in the long run, who depend on healthy gut microbiota to digest their food, and be healthy… Cows, sheep and other mammals are just like humans, when the rumen/ bio-digester/gut microbiome are disrupted, it tends to lead to degeneration of good health. Enteric fermentation is a digestive process by which carbohydrates are broken down by microorganisms into simple molecules for absorption into the bloodstream of an animal. Because of human agricultural reliance in many parts of the world on animals which digest by enteric fermentation, it is one of the factors in increased methane emissions.
Yes, agricultural soils emit nitrous oxide, partly due to fertilisers, however, carbon sequestration (and stopping the use of synthetic fertilisers completely) has been proven to be a great way to pump the carbon cycle, increase the soil microbes, and this makes the food that humans and animals eat superior in quality. Why? The large number of soil microbes (that grow carbon content), grow in healthy, fertile soil that is regeneratively managed. The soil carbon content enable the activation of more of the genes in the plants. This is why crops grown in soil with a dark colour, where no fertilisers are used, produce food that tastes amazing, like what you would obtain from a backyard farm where no modern farming inputs, like fertilisers, pesticides, fungicides, or herbicides are used. Only organic methods to mitigate the heath of the food, and the abundance that comes forth.
Livestock Farming Done Correctly, The Natural Way
According to the Climate Change Mitigation page, “carbon dioxide (CO2) is the dominant emitted greenhouse gas. Methane (CH4) emissions almost have the same short-term impact. Nitrous oxide (N2O) and fluorinated gases (F-Gases) play a minor role. Livestock and manure produce 5.8% of all greenhouse gas emissions.” One can justify why the emissions that are produced from intensified, industrial agriculture operation are harmful to the environment. However, the same cannot be said of the manure from pasture-raised animals, that aid in integrated natural ecosystems, and contributes to the health and wellbeing of the humans and animals that eat what is grown from that healthy soil. It would be entirely non-sensical to bunch these two VERY DIFFERENT WAYS OF FARMING together, and then expect for all kinds of animal farming operations to bear the burden of emissions taxes, weird emission calculations and rules that don’t make sense to anyone.
This article describes why the relationships between plants and the fungi that colonise their roots are responsible for locking away a huge amount of carbon underground – maybe equivalent to more than one-third of global emissions from fossil fuels. Almost all land plants on Earth have a symbiotic relationship with fungi that live in the soil around their roots, trading the carbon they draw from the air for nutrients like nitrogen and phosphorus.
These mycorrhizal fungi store the carbon they get from their plant partners in their tissues and the surrounding soil, thus keeping it out of the atmosphere. But despite the interest in nature-based solutions to climate change, mycorrhizal fungi have been largely overlooked…
Other articles on the MakeMake blog explain why exploitation of nature and the feminine, is MakeMake lower expression, that leads to destruction of natural ecosystems, societal and environmental collapse and bankruptcy. MakeMake higher expression is the foresight and spiritually-connected backbone, to avoid disasters and calamities instead, being abundant.
MakeMake was discovered in 2005, which is the year that India (one of the world’s biggest consumers) followed the example of Bhutan, with an ORGANIC FARMING POLICY. The Ministry of Agriculture's Organic Farming Policy 2005 sought to promote organic farming, sustain soil fertility, conserve bio-resources, strengthen the rural economy, promote value addition, accelerate growth of agro-businesses and secure a fair standard of living for farmers and workers.
MakeMake entered Libra between 2013 - 2016 and during this time an astonishing amount of scientific evidence around experimental REGENERATIVE/BIOLOGICAL FARMING came to light. Many articles were written about evidence-based regenerative/biological farming of grazing animals on diverse-species pasture that capture carbon, restoring soil carbon and massive fertility. MakeMake in Libra will be balancing the scales for nature, via political conflict, until it leaves between 2044 - 2046. Regarding the diabolical who want something for nothing at the expense of nature, and leaving others without the resources they need, neglecting to regenerate what they plunder. Here is a hint: synthetic fertiliser, pesticides, herbicides, monocultures, GMOs and industrial agriculture in general, harm these PRICELESS SOIL MICROBES.
With MakeMake square Quaoar now barrelling down on Uranus in the zodiac sign of Taurus the Bull (read cattle and farming), what pressure can we expect to be put on farmers and the farming sector? The pressure on Uranus is for quantum change and the revolutionary.
Will they be pressured into leaving livestock farming entirely, so that everyone be forced into a plant-based diet grown in a lab, or will regulatory change enable small-scale farmers to start producing more of the truely pasture-raised animal products, like eggs, meat and dairy, from sustainable farming operations that are benevolent to the natural ecosystems in the farming environment?
Why not enable the soil microbes to generate more carbon in agricultural soils, that will yield for man and animal more nutrient-dense food?
The mythological story of MakeMake, as well as the astrological significance, shows the necessity for good common sense, that determine which way the pendulum swings in the great polarity between having those nutrient-dense foods that nourish the biology, or starving the biology due to having mismanaged resources at political and leadership level.
Humans are in Charge of This Planet and They don’t want to Look or Feel like this…
The wooden sculptures below are the wooden carvings found on Rapa Nui island. There are the stern, authoritative, narrow faces of the stone statues called moai, and there are also a few surviving wood carving moai-miro statues showing intimidating, angry poking eyes, grinning mouth, and emaciated bodies. These were the realities these people were living at some point.
Climate Change Mitigation seems to be highly concerned with the fossil fuels and minerals dug up from the soil. These are turned into the coal burnt for electricity, gas that we heat and cook with, and the synthetic fertilisers that modern day farmers use in INSANE amounts, that happen to inhibit soil carbon sequestration. The writer of this article understands that these are issues for ministers, leaders and climate change warriors to sort out.
However, always remember, that the people have the right to the food, and the food production methods of their choice. This should not be meddled with, for human and animal health and wellbeing depend on getting this right.
Returning to a more environmentally friendly way to farm both vegetable crops and animal products is ESSENTIAL. So get it right please! Don’t deprive us from the nourishing nutrition that human and animal biology require, and the carbon sequestration that planet earth certainly need.
Humans are in charge of this planet, and just like the mythological story of Rapa Nui island, that took themselves to the verge of total societal and ecological collapse, we cannot afford to fail.

Last Minute Comments:
MakeMake’s Rapa Nui island’s climate changed, due to human mismanagement of fertile natural resources.
Fertility is a highly important concept in ancient sea-fairing Polynesian culture, that is perhaps most important in the mythology, of MakeMake (pronounced MakeiMakei). Rapa Nui culture of the time before near total societal/environmental collapse worshipped MakeMake, the bird man spirit, which has strong connections to the Hawaiian stories of Haumea, who had a magical stick called the makalei, which is symbolic of providing food abundantly, from nature’s natural capital and wealth. In Hawaii, nature is lush, green and provides abundantly, however, Rapa Nui island’s climate changed due to human activities, which meant that nutrient-dense foods like the egg, became paramount for fertility, on multiple levels.
Astrologer Pam Gregory has demonstrated how in history, Uranus in Taurus has been associated with extreme dry heat (MakeMake in Libra currently squares Quaoar in Capricorn, making a Hammer of Thor apex on Uranus in Taurus.) This pressure on Uranus in Taururs is going to require that farmers make their livelihoods more resilient to climate extremes.
The astrological energies of trans-Neptunian object Quaoar was described in this online course, but in short, it entails gaining ENLIGHTENMENT, from having undergone chaos at the hands of leadership gone awry, to having thriving food economies, to losing it all in slavery, and seeing the wisdom of allowing release in sweet surrender so clearly, in hindsight.
Perhaps it is very timely, that MakeMake square Quaoar and put a HAMMERING on Uranus in Taurus, which partly is the personification of Taurus the Bull, as the bull-headed farmers and supportive status quo industries who refuse to give up their modern inputs, like the synthetic fertilisers, the chemicals that kill the soil microbes and prevent the soil carbon sequestration and building of soil carbon. A HAMMERING may be just what the COSMIC DOCTOR ordered, to get rid of all the bad habits that agricultural industry groups promote for farmers to use to grow our food, that may be beneficial for the farmer in making their lives easier, result in a materialistic gain for chemical manufacturers, for example, yet is a detriment for the environment, the eaters, and the quality of our food in the long run.
If something has reached its COSMIC EXPIRY DATE and it is seeped in reckless obstinance, then perhaps we should allow it to expire and go to a natural death, so we can have transformation in allowing the carbon sequestering farming practises that produce really good nutrition-superior food, that is beneficial for the environment, and the humans and animals who want to consume those products of nature in their unadulterated, natural form.
See the video below to see what joy cattle bring to illiterate people in poverty in Cambodia, the sustainability of cows, and the opportunities they provide for rural properties, that have plenty of pasture. Cattle are not the problem!
Through the ages the humble cow has been an asset as nutrient-dense food. These Brahman beef cows produce valuable fertiliser from their manure, their beef, and even their milk (sshhh!), as healthy cows typically produce more milk than their calf need.
Cattle needs healthy pasture, and pasture need grazing cows to pump the carbon cycle. It’s wholesome all around.
It’s through the process of cows biting into the grass, that it spurs the pasture to kick the soil microbes and ultimately carbon sequestration in motion. See this Landline episode about how helping Cambodians help poor villages breaking the poverty cycle.
Cattle are assets, not the problem, but how they are managed, can become a big problem that pollutes rivers and waterways.
Cattle need healthy, diverse species pasture where mycorrhizal fungi proliferate.
Pasture and mycorrhizal fungi need cattle to pump the carbon cycle through regeneratively manged grazing.
It’s simple.
The astrology charts below shows the longevity of MakeMake square Quaoar, that extends into MakeMake square Ixion. During this time, it makes a Hammer of Thor apex on many planets/objects at the apex.
