The Toyota Recall

The World's Biggest Automaker, Toyota, seemed for a while to be escaping the problems that this recession has had on automakers worldwide. That is until last May (2009) when they posted a drop in sales and had to ask for a loan from the Japanese Government to continue. The drop in sales may have been from the aggressive sales campaigns that the U.S. car companies used to unload their inventory.

Now Toyota is struggling with massive recalls for many of its cars in both Europe and the U.S. The company which is known for introducing reliable quality control is suddenly messing up? Is this a conspiracy from competitors? Wow. Maybe the Japanese are performing the ancient art of self-flagellation out of some sort of PTSD reverb of Little Boy? Wait no, I've got my civilizations mixed up as usual. The Pope does self-flagellation, not the Japanese. The Japanese do Hari-Kari. We all do PTSD, Thank God we've got something in common... (OMG!)

In January 2010 there was a major recall in Europe and the UK due to problems with the Accelerators. That seems like a Mars Retrograde issue to me.

In January 2010 (and earlier in 2009) also there have been huge recalls in the U.S. due to brake problems. Brake problems could be due to the Mars Retrograde as well. Also, Saturn rules anything that has to stop and wait and right now Saturn is squaring Pluto. At the beginning of January The Sun-Venus-Saturn were in conjunction in Libra. Venus and Saturn were in mutual reception. And, of course, they were connected with a square between the Sun and Pluto. The two power trippers of the zodiac.

I couldn't find an actual incorporation date for Toyota although it probably exists. It seems the company was founded in 1937 just as Saturn was moving into Aries. So, obviously the company is being affected by the current square of Saturn-Pluto in Libra-Capricorn. Interesting that Saturn in Aries means that Saturn is in the sign ruled by Mars and a common phrase used to describe Mars and Saturn working together is "driving with the brakes on." Don't know who made up that term.

Toyota was created as a spin off company by a Son-Father team in the early-mid 1930s.
