For most people, pleading guilty to a felony means
they will very likely land in prison, lose their job and forfeit their right to
vote. But when five of the world’s biggest banks plead guilty to an array of
antitrust and fraud charges as soon as next week, life will go on, probably
without much of a hiccup. The Justice Department is preparing to announce that
Barclays, JPMorgan Chase, Citigroup and the Royal Bank of Scotland will
collectively pay several billion dollars and plead guilty to criminal antitrust
violations for rigging the price of foreign currencies, according to people
briefed on the matter who spoke on the condition of anonymity. Most if not all
of the pleas are expected to come from the banks’ holding companies, the people
said — a first for Wall Street giants that until now have had only subsidiaries
or their biggest banking units plead guilty. May 13 http://nyti.ms/1cAmiCU
Mundane
astrology gives importance to charts drawn for exact planetary aspects. Shown
here is the horoscope for the current Mars-Saturn opposition drawn for
Washington DC. Notice the Mars-Saturn-Mercury align with the meridian and
Neptune completes a T-square.
Saturn
indicates restrictions as well as lessons of patience and discipline. It
represents the law and authority figures. It also stands for anything which
puts a barrier in your path, e.g. a huge truck pulling in front of you when you
are in a hurry. Mars represents your physical drive, and the action oriented
side of your nature. This side of you is impulsive and impatient and wants
immediate results. In one sense Saturn opposition to Mars represents the law
(Saturn) putting a brake on Mars’ rash actions. At some level we feel stuck as
if “put in place” by unsympathetic forces that deny us the freedom to pursue
our selfish agenda. Ebertin provides the following key phrases for the elements
involved which when put together with foregoing description of Mars-Saturn explains
the news.
Mercury-Mars : Controversies or
lawsuits
Mercury-Mars-Neptune: Harm caused
through falsehood or underhand behavior
On the Ascendant
is Gamma (γ) Capricornus, Nashira, [22aq] a star in the tail of the Sea Goat. Nick
Fiorenza writes [1]:
The last decan of
Capricorn is of libraries, courts, publishing houses, or literary agencies
where any legalities are formulated or concretized.
We can,
therefore, see that the planetary combinations and the star on the Ascendant explain the news perfectly.
