Time is of the Essence

This morning through the road noise of my car I heard a wonderful English Financier being interviewed on PBS. He has a completely different idea of what the Fed should do with the Markets than what they are probably going to do. The one thing they all agree on is that "Speed is of the Essence" in making a Decision.

I pulled out Rex Bills and found that rulership of Speed is given to Mercury and Uranus (in parentheses). I would have included Mars but maybe Mars is related too much to rashness.

Decisions themselves are ruled by Uranus. I would have thought Saturn or Pluto.

Then by coincidence I surfed over to Jonah Lehrer's blog The Frontal Cortex and saw that he is discussing the neurology of what it takes to make a quick decision. He uses Football Quarterbacks as examples.

Three and a half seconds: that's how long, on average, a quarterback has to make a decision about where to throw the ball. So, how does he make sense of his options in such a short amount of time, while a swarm of humongous, angry men attempt to pancake him?

I decided to look at the charts of great Football Quarterbacks who are listed by Lehrer along with some others to see if there is a strong connection between Mercury and Uranus which could account for their lightening quick decision making talents. It turns out there is a strong relationship in most of the charts. Mercury-Mars is also almost always present as well.

Then I decided to look at the charts of the Feds, Ben Bernanke, Henry Paulson, and Christopher Cox to see if the Stars have bestowed upon them this great gift of Instantaneous Decision Making Ability.

The Quarterbacks are listed below.

The Feds are listed below them.

Looks like the Fed needs desperately to hire some Quarterbacks.
