Big Kids, Little Kids

What's the Market doing? Is this one of it's Swan Dives or, even worse, a Swan Song? Let's observe the astroblab of "Swan Dives" v. "Swan Songs" according to the current transits. Looks like they're nicely represented, unfortunately. Swans and Songs, for example, are both ruled by Venus, who is in Leo and dramatically singing about her loss of locomotion due to the retrograde and her restrictive conjunction with Saturn.

First there's the opposition between Saturn in Leo and Neptune in Aquarius. Venus and Mercury are conjunct Saturn right now, the Moon has just past over and now the Sun is joining. Lots of emphasis on this opposition. According to Rex Bills, Swans are ruled by Venus with sub-rulerships in (Aquarius, Neptune). That's truly creepy. Get it? Neptune in Aquarius opposite Venus? "Divers" are ruled by Neptune, Pisces. And, unfortunately at this point, "Songs" are ruled by Venus. And Venus is retrograde and conjunct Saturn in Leo. And the Markets went really high and then Venus went Retro. We could have just tried to sing a Ballad for the rest of the Summer but no we have to take Venus for all its worth. Rex doesn't mention it, but I imagine that Kissing is ruled by Venus and Neptune. So, I can't really "phrase out" "Kissing One's Money Good-Bye." Interesting how I would completely reverse attitude about all these aspects if discussing creativity and the arts, somewhere in multiple spots on the earth right now great works of immense beauty are being created.

Interesting how once Jupiter came out of Retrograde on August 8 people have sort of come out of their Optimistic Stupors and have begun to panic. That's kind of a Saggy way of doing things. Remember, though, Sagittarius is mutable and therefore Flexible and likes to bounce back. Even if the Market doesn't, you must. Saturn's in a Fixed Sign and hogging all the conjunctions, so it just depends how you're connected.

Last week, our hero Ben Bernanke, a Sagittarius, dumped a boatload of freshly minted cash into the system. Maybe he should be more like Pisces Alan Greenspan at this point and remain in denial for a bit longer. Let the chips fall where they may and then stop the markets after they drop 500 points. Just turn off the computers. The Panic is what gets the Scorpios revving their little 8th house engines. They perform best when in crises so don't protect them. All the rest of us must hope that what falls down, must come back up. Or go out and get jobs as Pizza Deliverypersons.

Jupiter is squaring the Nodes and will be joined at 11 Sagittarius by Mars on August 24. This is just how we're spending the Summer Vacation. This square to the Nodes will be imprinted on us through the Total Lunar Eclipse that's coming up at the end of August. Stress levels might be quite high. Lots of High School grads doing dumb things before going off to college. So, you know, Sagittarius first likes to expands and then at the thought of the constriction of Capricorn which comes right after it, it likes to drink. So stock up on Schlitz and go the races to bet on the ponies.

What's also interesting is the New Moon in Leo. The Mortgage mess is being sidetracked by the Toy Scandal in China. Toys made with Lead Paint. Why do all great civilizations have to repeat the mistakes of the 50s and 60s as they rise? Can't think of a better thing to give to a kid whose parents are just losing their home to Bankruptcy than a Toy that's cloaked in lead. Thank you Mattel. Actually the New Moon is just past now and the Sun is conjunct Mercury 21 Leo; Venus 27 Leo; and Saturn 28 Leo. Venus and Mercury rule the Markets and also rule Toys. Put them together with Saturn in Leo (Leo rules investment risks and kids, funny, huh?). Think of this as an opportunity to grab that ugly plastic crap out from your 5 year old's paws and tell him to quit being a brat and go get a rake and clean the yard. It's a good diversion for the Diabetes that he no doubt is developing.

Well, for once, Pluto's got nothing to do with it....heheheh, he's vacationing in the Galactic Center and told us to deal with this ourselves. The Astronomers really should never have demoted him. Big Mistake. Big Mistake. Those stingers...ouch.
