The Wrong Things Froze

I remember back in the Good Old Days while speculating about how to speculate on the upcoming Pluto in Capricorn transit's effect on the Stock Market I was thinking that Ice would be a great commodity. Don't know if due to Man's Invention or Nature's Intervention but things were sure to freeze back up. I remember telling somebody that anything that had to do with Freezing would be a great place to invest in and thought that this would be a Great Thing for Global Warming. I could only see it in terms of the environment.

Things are getting Frosty, that's for sure. But it was the Financial Markets that Froze. Namely the lending markets. Just listened to a great show on NPR about the Freeze. Saturn and Pluto working together like to express themselves in Business terms. I think they might be a little bit too "Human Centered" to be worried too awfully much about "Nature and Environment." They are actually nature's best defense because they represent Humankind Choking on its own spew. I should look up the astrology for the Mad Max movies. I know that Mel Gibson is a Capricorn.

Emotionally Saturn and Pluto pretty much work through repression and through terror. Just watch a couple of Alfred Hitchcock movies (I think he had a hard aspect between the two planets) in order to get an idea of Saturn and Pluto working together.

So according to the NPR Show, This American Life (http://www.kqed.org/radio/programs/index.jsp?pgmid=RD47#R810041200), the thing two weeks ago that set everything off was the fact that the Mortgage crisis spilled out into the real world when Lehman Brothers went bankrupt. Money Market Funds had made their money lending to Lehman Brothers and they suddenly didn't have an income and were paying 97 cents on the dollar. That's not supposed to happen except in very dire times because these funds are so conservative that they are so conservative. The Government stepped in and guaranteed the funds. But now I pretty much have the story behind the story of why Paulson got down on his knees and begged Nancy Pelosi to pass the pass the Bill. (Nancy Pelosi said she agreed on passing the Bill, the decision wasn't hers to make). But when one Aries gets down on his knees to beg another Aries, you really know something's up.

I'm working on some interesting projects but am having trouble with both Internet connections and Concentration so am bogging down.

Today's little project was to look at yesterday's Market according to the different charts of the New York Stock Exchange in New York, the Federal Reserve Bank in Richmond, Virginia, the U.S. Senate in Washington, DC and the House of Representatives in Washington, DC. It's a Bug's Eye view of the situation, sort of a Kaleidescope vision due to Ascendants and Locations. I'm not sure that I've found correct times for any of them. I've emailed the Feds and asked what time they open their doors but I also suggested that they ring a Bell and televise some Celebrities in order to pump up their image so I'm not sure I'll get a response. Right now they have bigger fish to fry anyway.

Here's what I've got so far. I'm trying to give minimal information. The Charts as is are very interesting just to watch who's got what conjunct the Ascendant at these various times and places. Remember that the progressed U.S. Mars is Retrograde somewhere in Libra. People are saying things like "Wall Street is Dead." Ben Bernanke said on Thursday that the U.S. won't have an Economy on Monday if the Bills isn't passed and the Funds aren't passed on.

Two planets are on the last degrees of signs and will move into new signs over the Week-end. The Scorpio Moon was Out-of-Bounds. It is passing through Sagittarius this week-end and will pass over Pluto and into Capricorn by Opening of business on Monday. Mars is on the last degree of Libra and will be in Scorpio on Monday.

Pluto is a singleton in Fire in H2 of most of the charts. It is ruler of most of the charts while Libra is still ruler of some. Either way, Venus is in the 1st House in all the charts. This is a really interesting time to understand how complicated a planet Venus is. The Politicians are in overdrive trying to cooperate with each other and resolve mistakes of the past with how they will destroy the future. And of course, Money, Money, Money. And nobody is saying that this Bail-Out is a completely good thing. And I sort of doubt anybody thinks it will be a complete answer.

Mars is now conjunct the Ascendant in many of the charts at opening of business. That shows our Aries buddies, Paulson and Pelosi. We're acting. Everyone seems to know that we're bluffing.

I'll try to take a look at Monday's Charts quickly as well as I seem to remember that NYSE's for that day was a bit scary.

**************

MONDAY'S Opening Charts The Sun will be conjunct Mercury Rx within a degree and will be squaring Jupiter to the degree. Jupiter rules the 2d House of most charts and is now in the 2d house in most charts. Good time to invest in mattresses because if anyone can get their money out that's where they're going to be sticking it. This Leo Midheaven sort of sucks because it disposits to the Sun and the Sun is conjunct the Mercury Rx and squaring the Jupiter-2d House stuff in most charts. Has Congress convened? Maybe they aren't even going to work on Monday. What do I know? I just watched a video on CNN where an Elephant was told to choose between voting for Obama or McCain and chose his trainer instead. That's what I'm watching on the News.
