JPMorgan and the Prosecutor’s dilemma





Washington (CNN) -- Five years after the financial crisis, the debate over whether some of the biggest banks in America are "too big to jail" is causing tensions among prosecutors and regulators. As federal prosecutors in Manhattan finalized their investigation of JPMorgan Chase & Co. for failing to blow the whistle on Ponzi-schemer Bernard Madoff, the question arose: What happens if federal prosecutors file criminal charges against the bank? They fear that if regulators moved to pull the bank's license, it could lead to destruction of the nation's largest bank and potentially the loss of hundreds of thousands of jobs. OCC officials said they could provide no such assurance, the people familiar with the discussions said.



On January 1 the Sun and Moon conjoin Pluto and form hard aspects to four others. This very potent New Moon straddles the meridian axis at Washington. Pluto brings  power struggles and a need for purges and purification. It is asking us to  clean up old business, especially the messy parts that we’d rather not face, before moving ahead. Uranus square the Capricorn New Moon and Pluto signals the need to bring down an old order that no longer serves the people.






If now we combine this with the Sibly Solar Return and progress the angles to 9th Jan,  the date of the news, the reason for the hesitation by the federal prosecutors becomes clear. The Sibly Sun forms hard aspects to Uranus-Pluto-Kronos-Hades all of which have been brought to the angles and therefore triggered. But more interesting is the Sun’s [13cn] conjunction to the asteroids Sphinx [11cn] and Atlantis [14cn] and opposition to Pluto [10cp].



ATLANTIS: Belief in deserved punishment or a need for punitive measures. Sense of impending doom.
SPHINX: Questions, lack of answers and understanding (about points in axis or aspect.)
PLUTO : Banks (as they deal with other people’s money); financial matters; investments

Pluto-Hades: To hear of criminal activities in the world of finance or big business
Kronos-Hades:  Leaders, executives or experts discuss the past or investigations; to be aware of laws that relate to criminals or criminal procedures 



There is a need for punitive measures (Atlantis)  against the banks (Pluto) but how do you do it (Sphinx) without bringing the whole structure down.
