“Though the mills of God grind slowly;
Yet they grind exceeding small;
Though with patience He stands waiting,
With exactness grinds He all”.
"Retribution" by H. W. Longfellow
NEW YORK — James "Jimmy" Lee, the
JPMorgan Chase banker who helped arrange some of the biggest corporate deals
for companies including General Motors, News Corp. and Facebook, died Wednesday.
He was 62 years old. JPMorgan Chase & Co. announced Lee's death, saying he
passed away "unexpectedly." The bank did not give further details. Lee
was among the best-known dealmakers on Wall Street. If a company wanted to go
public, sell a business or merge with a competitor, Lee was often in the middle
of it. The fact that Lee was advising on a deal was a stamp of credibility, in
and of itself. June 17 http://www.nytimes.com/aponline/2015/06/17/us/ap-us-obit-james-jimmy-lee.html?_r=0
The
mysterious death (or is it killing ?) of
J.P Morgan bankers has reached a new
height with the “sudden death” of their Vice Chairman and high powered deal
maker Jimmy Lee. More than a dozen JP Morgan bankers have died recently under
mysterious circumstances. James
Bainbridge "Jimmy" Lee, Jr. (October 30, 1952 – June 17, 2015) was an
American investment banker, notable for his role in the development of the
leveraged finance markets in the U.S. in the 1980s. He is widely acknowledged
as the architect of the modern-day syndicated loan market. At the time of his
death, Lee was vice chairman of JPMorgan Chase & Co. and a member of the
bank’s executive committee. He was also Co-Chairman of JPMorgan's investment
bank. Lee died on June 17, 2015, unexpectedly after experiencing shortness of
breath while exercising.
Is there a
deeper principle working behind these deaths than is superficially obvious? To
answer this let us recall that in the US Sibly, transit Pluto opposes the radix Sun in the 8th house
(bankers). Pluto in astrology acts as a
force for creative destruction. This term, creative destruction, was coined by
the Viennese economist, Joseph Schumpeter. Schumpeter described creative
destruction as, a “process of…mutation that incessantly revolutionizes
the….structure from within, incessantly destroying the old one, and incessantly
creating a new one.”
Pluto
transits work very slowly and over a long period of time. Other mundane events
like eclipses or ingresses and their progressions can be used to identify
events that are activated by the transits of slow moving planets like Pluto. As
an example, let us look at the lunar eclipse of October 8, 2014. A chart for
the eclipse at Darien, Connecticut, where James Lee died, is shown here. The
eclipse is prominently placed on the horizon activating the Uranus-Pluto square
on the angles. If we progress the eclipse chart to June 17, 2015, the day James
Lee died, we find that the angles once again activate the Cross.
Broadly
speaking as Pluto transits the Sun-Saturn square in the US Sibly, it raises a
fundamental dilemma. Is the US going to be a nation of social justice and equal
opportunity for all (Saturn in Libra), or will it remain a nation dominated by
the ambition of a few to amass personal wealth through success in business (Sun
in 8th ).
