Astrological Insights to the Financial Crisis
The instability in the financial sector of our economy came to a head at the
Full Moon on September 15, 2008. That Full moon spanned the First and Seventh
Houses of the NYSE Natal Chart. The Exchange projected a negative image to the
public with Saturn transiting its 1st House. The public (7th House) responded with unexpected
uncertainty and suspicion Moon in Pisces in the 7th House. Projecting forward,
Saturn remains in the NYSE 1st House until September of 2009. I suspect that
restraints imposed by the terms of the government bailout will be harsh because
it will take that long for the Congress to formulate plans and promulgate
rules. When Saturn leaves Virgo and enters Libra in October 2009, there will
be some major pieces of legislation passed that will be equitable at last. CEO
and other Executive compensation fairness will be part of major Corporate
reform.
Saturn in Libra is what astrologers term the sign of Saturn's exaltation. Libra is the sign of Justice, Saturn is a planet of Karma. It will take until October, 2012 for justice to prevail. This is not as bleak as it sounds, the process will take that long but there will be constant improvements along the way.
