Wall St. Journal on a New Leash This Week

Rupert Murdoch will take over as owner of the Dow Jones Corporation this week as mentioned in this Yahoo article: http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20071209/ap_on_bi_ge/dow_jones_murdoch. He's spending something like 5B to control The Wall St. Journal and to possibly expand it to include International Markets.

Is this a sign of Jupiter and Pluto hitting each other just as they move over into Capricorn? A little Aries Point Action on the Corporate, Business Front maybe? A Newspaper (Sagittarius) Mogul from overseas taking over the U.S. Stock Exchange (Capricorn).

Murdoch's chart is lit up by the transits like Rudolph's Red Nose. The Jupiter-Pluto conjunction will be in conjunction with his natal Moon at 25 Sagittarius and Ascendant at 2 Capricorn. This mirrors his Natal Jupiter-Pluto conjunction in Cancer in the 7th house. The natal conjunction also includes a conjunction with Mars in Cancer and an opposition to Saturn in Capricorn in H1. Strong willed gentleman. And I guess he supports conservative politics and religion and was the driving force behind the Bush Administration. Pluto in Capricorn is obviously making its 1st ultra depressing debut.

Please note more major transits: t.Saturn is close to conjunction to natal Midheaven and t. Uranus is close natal Pisces Sun.

Interesting to compare Murdoch's chart with Ben Bernanke, Federal Reserve Board Chairman. Bernanke is a Sagittarius Sun with Pisces Moon and Murdoch is a Pisces Sun with Sagittarius Moon. Bernanke's Sun is at 21 Sagittarius is conjunct Murdoch's Moon. Due to lack of birth time I don't know if they are in conjunction. Also, Murdoch's opposition between Saturn and Mars c. Pluto is laid over Bernanke's Nodal Axis. Bernanke may feel controlled by Murdoch's newspaper.
