Land Ahead Opening Bell Chart

The Financial Experts announced on Tuesday that the end is in sight for the current Recession. Land Ahead! Or at least they can now at least see the Real Estate through all the Foreclosure Signs.

If this prediction is true then the U.S. will have endured a 24 month Recession which is the worst since the Great Depression of the 30s. According to the expert the Stock Market is at its bottom, or close to. Unemployment should peak out at the 1st part of 2010 at around 10 percent. Real Estate will bottom out in Summer and then should begin to rise but won't return to peak levels. Someone just told me that her financial advisor said that there will be another wave of Foreclosures this Summer as the recently unemployed start losing their homes. I'll look at the opening bell charts of these later but this sounds about right.

So the financial experts are rejoicing and celebrating their job security. Turns out that Tuesday's Opening Bell Chart had an unaspected (ptolomaic aspect) island configuration of joyful, positive Jupiter and Neptune together up in the 10th House of Government. This represents in literal terms my Magic Federal Reserve Chairman Boyfriend who is a Jupiter/Neptune person. He's actually looking quite gaunt these days and could use about a week's worth of lunches at the Dairy Queen. Sadge's aren't supposed to get too skinny. Must be the addition of Chiron to the Jupiter-Neptune conjunction.

Opening Bell Chart for Happy Announcement
Mar. 24, 2009 9:30 am New York, NY

Sun 5 Aries; Moon 9 Pisces; ASC 2 Gemini; NN 7 Aquarius; MC 9 Aquarius

This is a very positive, hopeful chart. The Gemini Rising of course can certainly indicate an Announcement or Communication. The Nodal Axis is aligned with the MC/IC line with North Node within 1 degree of the Midheaven in Aquarius. Midheaven represents the Government, North Node is the part of Destiny to which one aspires. Aquarius is hopes and wishes. This shows a light, mental attitude of the Government which is taking the long view. For a while there they weren't telling us the morbid public anything too positive so there wasn't any real leadership in this regard until this announcement.

This energy is further developed in the chart because the rulers of the ASC and the Midheaven are Mercury and Uranus and these two are in conjunction with the Sun in the 11th House of Hopes and Wishes. It's also a signature for innovation and doing what's never been done before. The Sun adds an element of Confidence. I was wondering if things would take a more positive turn as Saturn was passing through the 5th House of the Opening Bell charts where it has been for about a month. Now we just have to endure April (cruelest month) as Saturn spends a month down in the bottom of the chart. Maybe this means "Fire Sale" or Bargain Basement shopping opportunities in the Stock Market. The Groopers and the CatFish will be mopping up.

The Sun in this chart is conjunct Venus in Aries. Venus is still Rx until Apr. 17 when she will have briefly passed back into Pisces. She will touch Mars and Uranus at this point which should be a fairly lively period. Mars will then escort her back into Aries and they will play around with each other for about a month. She will hit the spot where she went Retrograde around May 21 at 15 Aries. She will be inconjunction with Mars and the Moon on that date. Then full steam ahead into a Summer's worth of foreclosures. The Moon is conjunct Mars in Pisces in this chart. This might mean that the Feds aren't giving us the Full Picture but really have our interests at heart. They know that Saturn is about to route out the bottom of the chart.

There are two Island configurations in this chart which demand attention. One is the Jupiter-Chiron-Neptune conjunction in Aquarius which I spoke about before. This is in the 10th House and indicates the Feds. The Second is Saturn which rules the 10th House which again represents Government and the Fed. Saturn in this chart is the Handle figure to a Bucket shape. Saturn is widely opposing Mars in Pisces and is otherwise unaspected by major aspect. These two working together want to both build but Saturn likes to plan and Mars just want to get the hammer and dive in. They are in opposition which creates a Wall to get through. It usually also gives the desire to break through the wall. All the other planets in the chart are up in the top of the chart which gives most of the energy to those in public positions. They might actually be feeling held down by this Saturn energy which is cautious and conservative and also by the South Node on the IC which is tradition.
