From the Guardian newspaper today, the news comes that the 'biggest ever sale of oil assets' has taken place today.
Interesting that the Sun was in almost exact trine with Neptune (oil), as well as a quincunx with Uranus in Pisces (oil).
"The biggest ever sale of oil assets will take place today, when the Iraqi government puts 40bn barrels of recoverable reserves up for offer in London.
BP, Shell and ExxonMobil are all expected to attend a meeting at the Park Lane Hotel in Mayfair with the Iraqi oil minister, Hussein al-Shahristani.
Access is being given to eight fields, representing about 40% of the Middle Eastern nation's reserves, at a time when the country remains under occupation by US and British forces.
Two smaller agreements have already been signed with Shell and the China National Petroleum Corporation"http://www.guardian.co.uk/business/2008/oct/13/oil-iraq
