Warren Buffett once said, "only
when the tide goes out do you discover who's been swimming naked." That is
very much the case now, after the Federal Reserve's June 19 announcement that
it might start scaling back its program of buying up assets from financial
institutions--to the tune of $85 billion a month--later this year. The news
prompted a roller-coaster ride in the markets. Stocks plummeted, commodities crashed,
bond yields jumped and credit tightened as investors began to realize that the
low interest rates from this easy-money party could finally come to an end.
Amongst the
several methods used in mundane astrology the Capricorn Ingress [Capingress] or Winter Solstice chart is held as the most
important for the entire year. We will see how the Capingress for Washington carries a
clear message about the need for a change in the handling of economic affairs. Two
planet configurations that interpenetrate each other stand out in the solstice
chart. The first is a Yod of Jupiter-Saturn-Pluto. The second is a T-square
with Sun-Pluto-Kronos-Hades-Uranus-Makemake with the two joined together at the
Pluto end.
Nick
Fiorenza discusses the details in his
Lunar Planner for December 2012 [1] from which I will quote a few excerpts.
As the apex planet of this Yod,
Jupiter impels wide-sweeping visionary action that establishes a socially
sustainable and protective infrastructure for all people and all life. It
impels the practical and well-grounded application of wealth and resources in
an enterprising capacity to support the fundamental well-being of all life.
Jupiter, on the Aldebaran-Antares axis, also impels expansive and mobilizing
leadership in business and politics.
This Yod creates stimulus to
creatively apply Saturn, with dedicated, committed, reliable and concretized
action from a place of inner equipoise, wisdom and unbiased compassion, toward
the manifestation of the Jupiter-Aldebaran theme. Jupiter pulls Saturn’s theme
(and the establish patriarchal structures) into an expansive and higher-order
expression that serves the Vision of Aldebaran. The Jupiter-Saturn quincunx motivates
creativity to bring the laws of man (Saturn) into alignment with the higher
spiritual laws of nature (Jupiter).
Simultaneously the Yod creates
stimulus to creatively apply Pluto, a greater truth being revealed through the
dismantling of the old world paradigm, toward the manifestation of the
Jupiter-Aldebaran theme.
Generally, a Venus-Jupiter
opposition can impel an over-confident over-indulgence and a desire for
immediate gratification. Thus it is important to realize that band-aids used
for immediate results do not provide real solution, neither in our external
world paradigm or in our personal lives where a deep level of healing and
evolution is required—something that unfolds in our continuing evolutionary
spiral through time.
Venus-Antares impels a passionate
confident and rebellious expression of the feminine force to help mobilize the
Jupiter-Vision of Aldebaran theme, especially in the business and political
arenas. Venus-Antares also impels the application of resources in a way that
challenges the existing political-business arena and that supports mobilizing
Jupiter's expansive new vision.
If we
progress the Winter Ingress chart to June 19, 2013, when the Fed made the
announcement the progressed meridian straddles
the Grand Cross triggering the issues highlighted by Nick Fiorenza.
The essential message is no band aids will do ;
change the economic paradigm for the welfare of the masses.
If we are
right in our analysis on 26 Aug 2013 (+/- 2 days) when the progressed MC
touches Jupiter in the Yod we should see
another financial shock to the old world
paradigm.
