BEIJING—China’s central bank devalued its tightly
controlled currency, causing its biggest one-day loss in two decades, as the
world’s second-largest economy continues to sputter. Chinese authorities said
the change would help drive the currency toward more market-driven movements.
The move also signaled the government’s growing worry about slow growth. A
shift toward a weaker currency could help flagging exports at a time when many
other efforts to boost the economy haven’t proven very effective. Aug. 11 ; http://www.wsj.com/articles/china-moves-to-devalue-the-yuan-1439258401
The
People's Republic of China was formally established on October 1, 1949, 3:01:36
pm CCT, Beijing, China [1]. The national
horoscope of China is shown above. There is a
Mercury-Neptune conjunction in the 8th house, connected to “financial
relations with foreign countries”[2]. The asteroid Hera [19cn] squares Neptune
[14li] in the radix chart. Martha Wescott links asteroids Hera/Juno to “tallying
($$$ & fairness)” so that it serves as a good symbol for currency exchange rates
that may have needed correction because they were unrealistic (Neptune).
Pluto
[14cp], the planet astrologers connect with a return to “truth”, “integrity” or “the core self”, has been in a long term transit square to radix Neptune.
But being a very slow transit it works like a symbolic cosmic “hour hand” that
awaits activation. Early this month on August 2, Saturn stationed direct [29sc]
in an exact semi-square aspect to radix Neptune [14li] bringing a reality check
or correction in a monetary policy that had been unrealistic for a while
(Neptune). This served as “minute hand” of the cosmic clock. Finally transit
Jupiter [29le] on August 10, just a day
before the announcement, acting as the “second
hand” completed the picture.
To
understand this development from the current mundane charts, I quote an extract
from a previous post [3] in which I linked the crash in gold prices to the Cancer
Ingress chart.
The crash in gold started today at the
Shanghai Gold Exchange. A chart for the Sun’s entry into Cancer at Shanghai is
shown here. The Sun makes a hard aspect to the conjunction of Venus-Jupiter in
Leo, the sign ruling gold, in the 5th house linked to speculation. Among events
connected to the stars that form the
backdrop to Venus-Jupiter, Diana Rosenberg includes, “the collapse of extreme
speculations” and gives the following examples.
There was a solar eclipse here in 1636,
three months before the collapse of the “Tulip Mania” that had held Holland in
thrall from 1634, with wild outrageously high prices for bulbs, and a solar
eclipse in 1720 one month before the collapse of the “South Sea Bubble”
speculation mania that caused financial collapse and utter ruin to thousands.
Mars in Scorpio, squared these stars at the 1929 Stock Market crash.
Progressing the Cancer Ingress chart to July
20, the date of the gold crash, brings Venus-Jupiter to the IC triggering the
event.
The Cancer
Ingress at Beijing has Sun-Hades on the IC semi-square Venus-Jupiter in the 5th
house. The Sun-Mars conjunction is in a hard aspect to Saturn in the 8th
house which, as we mentioned before, rules international finance and by
association currency exchange rates. Progressing the chart by the PSSR method to
August 11 brings the Mars-Sun-Hades to the Ascendant triggering the combination
and its aspect to Saturn leading to the decision to devalue the yuan.
