Ban Against Short Selling

Short Selling is where an Investor is anticipating a decrease in the market and buys Stocks with money he/she doesn't have. Explained here:

The SEC today has extended a Ban it placed on Short Selling in something like 800 financial companies so that they couldn't make things worse than they already are. The original Ban went into effect on September 18, 2008 and can by law only be kept in effect until Oct. 17.

I looked back at the Sept. 18 Opening Bell Chart to see what may have indicated the idea of authorities doing something to keep monkeys under control.

Sept. 18 was the day that the Moon in Taurus made an Earth Grand Trine to Jupiter (H3) and Saturn (H11). What a great use of a Grand Trine. The G.T. relates to the chart strongly as the Moon (Public) disposits to Venus which conjunct the ASC. Jupiter disposits to Saturn from its 3d House position in this chart. In addition, Capricorn (Controls like Bans, Cautionary Measures, Gvmt. & Authorities) was intercepted in the 3d House. Government (Saturn) containing the Monkeys/Traders/Short Sellers (H3, Containment indicated by the Grand Trine and the Interception in the 3d House of Trading/Selling). I'd definitely give Mercury Rulership of Short Selling to Mercury, 3d House. The upcoming Mercury Retrograde couldn't hurt with this as well although the Short Sellers are probably watching this market and feeling very repressed.

Good work to whomever (whoever?) timed this. The SEC must have an Astrologer. Speaking of Monkeys, I wonder what they did with the media that day.

The Feds did this just before Scorpio began to Rise on the Ascendant at Opening Bell. It was at 29 Libra. Pluto had just begun to stick in the 2d house of Money on that day as well and was squaring the Sun.

The Head of the SEC is Christopher Cox who is a Libra Sun. I briefly mentioned him in the post on the Horsemen of the Apocalypse. His Libra Sun is conjunct Saturn & Neptune. He's apparently very intuitive. Neptune-NN is opposing his natal Pluto. That's the "psycicist" transit vibe on the planet. But, he's probably going through serious black outs right now.
