Rubber Baby Buggy Bumpers - The U.S. Car Companies

The Bankers, the Mortgage Lenders, Wall Street. They always do themselves in because of Greed and, like Lawyers, they are simply going overboard on behalf of their clients who are also greedy.

The American Car Manufacturers did themselves in for more interesting reasons. They refused to innovate. It seems they may have been sort of led to the slaughter by Opec which gave them gas, gave them gas, gave them more gas on which to build huge ugly clunkers that they could charge a whole lot of money for. The temptation was just too great. Bush avoided having to admit to a financial crisis for most of his Presidency by fighting for Oil for most of his 8 year term. Then along came Neptune and Chiron to the North Node in Aquarius and Opec raised the price of Gasoline to beyond American's wildest dreams and the car companies tanked. No Blammo to the Destruction, the Leaders of OPEC finessed this War in subtle, socially acceptable Uranus-Neptune ways, the Car Companies just became Wounded and Dissolved. I don't know if in the end this is great for OPEC because those big fat vehicles need their only product but it has convinced Americans finally to get off of their oil. I guess the OPEC countries have a good 10 years left to play with us. Meanwhile the U.S. is desparate to raise a new Henry Ford but we were too busy driving our kids to Soccer Practice than to just let them run off and play and innovate on their own.

The United States. Land of Opportunity. In need of an energy efficient, environmental friendly way to get around. The answer is Viktor Schauberger (spell?).

But I guess we don't need answers here. We need problems. Plus, in California where alternative energy businesses are blooming the car industry is buzzing and people are hiring. So it's probably ok to let the Midwest go. They should have raised their kids to appreciate weirdness I suppose, because weirdness is the future. That's Uranus' territory and Neptune will instutionalize whatever and whomever goes overboard.

Just a quick, look at the car companies.

General Motors was founded in 1908. This is a Pluto in Gemini (Pluto 23-26 Gemini) company. I don't have a date beyond that but Cars are ruled by Gemini and 3d House and Transportation is ruled by Gemini and Sagittarius. So the U.S. was right on track in getting its biggest industry going in a field of which Pluto was hankering to express himself anyway. The founder of General Motors was William C. Durant, a Sagittarius born Dec. 8, 1861, Boston, Mass. I haven't looked at his chart beyond his birth date because I don't have time right now but the Sun Signs are definitely showing a lot of information anyway. It looks like Durant built the Company while Pluto was opposing his Sun. And the Company is falling apart just after transiting Pluto passed those points. Sometimes you rise up out of what seems like ashes with Pluto transits. My own personal saying is that if Pluto doesn't make you stronger it will kill you, though. (I'm not a real healer type.)

The current CEO of General Motors is in deep doo-doo. He says that the failing car companies are a sign of the times (OPEC getting powerful). Yahhh----Raiiiiiggghhhht. G. Richard Wagoner, Jr. is an Aquarius, b. Feb. 9, 1953, Wilmington, DE. Aquarius is one of the Fixed Signs and is one of the signs that rules Resources. Aquarius rules innovation but I guess this is one of the weirdo Aquarians whose not in touch with his Creative side. This guy seems to be expressing the part of Aquarius that rules Political B.S., and Determination (why doesn't this guy just quit?). And, besides, t.Neptune passing over your Sun is tough. You can't see straight. You can't shoot straight. Well, Dick Cheney aimed and still managed to hit his Bullseye Lawyer while Neptune was on his Sun but he's a born killer and aims to always shoot straight. (He was aiming straight into the setting Sun, do you know how difficult it is to see anything while looking straight into the Sun? Another Weird Aquarius Story.)

Chrysler is also planning on going Bankrupt I guess. The Tax Payers are lending money to these Companies so that they can fire their employees gently but once they go bankrupt they won't have to pay off their loans (????????). I really don't have the faintest clue what's going on here.

Chrysler is a Gemini Company founded June 6, 1925. It was founded by Walter Chrysler, an Aries, born Apr. 2, 1875, Namego, Kansas. I wonder where he's buried. The ground must be swelling and churning all over the place.

Interesting that both GM and Chrysler are both Gemini-Sadge companies founded by Fire Signs. Now that's what I call the Va-room Factor. The current CEO is another Fixed Sign. He's a Taurus. Boo Hoo. Robert Nardelli, born May 17, 1948 Old Forge, PA. Good with money but probably best for selling bumper cars or golf carts. There's some other guy in charge, a committee, that explains a lot. This guy, Thomas La Sorda is another Fixed Sign, a Leo born July 24, 1954 Windsor, Ontario, Canada. Well at least he's a Fire Sign but, really, the Canadians don't understand how to make anything move.

Ford is the only company that seems to be able to make it through this. If they can keep their suppliers in business after the other two tank they should be ok. Their timing was good. They borrowed money a couple of years ago and got good interest rates and supposedly can hold out for another couple of years.

Ford is a Gemini Company, founded on June 16, 1903. It was founded by Fire Sign Leo, Henry Ford, born July 30, 1863 Dearborn, Michigan. Current CEO is Alan R. Mullaly, also a Leo (and also a Fixed Sign, but at least he's Fire). Mullaly's birth date is Aug. 4, 1945, Oakland, CA.

Interesting that Ford was founded with a Sun-Pluto conjunction in Gemini. I'd imagine that's a pretty good combination for making a Company that builds Cars. It has survived the opposition from transiting Pluto so far.

But, really, I don't understand why we can't all set up a UFO factory in Roswell and take our civilization to a better level.
