The Economic Melt Down    

    At the time of this article Wall Street seems to be on the
    mend.  However, even if the economy seems to be
    improving, we must recognize that at the core of the US
    economy are some very disturbing concerns, such as the
    unimaginable government debt, the cumulative loss of
    manufacturing jobs, the trade imbalance, reliance upon
    Chinese investments, and limited energy resources.  I suspect
    that the events of the past weeks are an indication of further
    changes to come.

       I am not a mundane Astrologer, but the recent melt down
    of the US investment system concerns me because of the
    tremendous impact it has upon so many people. A quick
    comparison of the horoscope for the September full moon
    and the US horoscope (Gem ASC) indicates a number of
    amazing insights, suggesting that the current crisis in the US
    market was to be expected. Transit Jupiter was in exact
    conjunction with the US Sun, suggesting tension resulting
    from excessive expansion of financial obligations (2nd house).
    The North Node transit is also conjunct the US Moon,
    suggesting the driving need of the US government is to re-
    focus on the public sector. The transit Sun applying to a
    conjunction with Neptune would also suggest a time of great
    confusion. However I suspect that this process actually began
    back during the Reagan presidency, and an Astrological study
    of that time period would probably also yield interesting
    results.  

    Neither psychic or a mundane Astrologer, I hesitate in
    suggesting how the world wide financial concerns will be
    resolved. However, I can not help but note that the events
    of September and October may be related to a series of
    horoscopes leading up to the year 2012.  This end date for
    the Mayan calendar seems to correlate with many Astrological
    indications of large scale systemic change.   I find personal
    horoscopes much more reliable and predictable, but who can
    ignore these amazing indications of dramatic change?





















    In mid July 2009, Neptune and Jupiter (in Aquarius) are
    conjunct and square Mars.  In very general terms this suggests
    large scale potential change related to spiritual or
    philosophical perspective.  I must say that I was quite
    amazed to see the resurgence of traditional religion in the
    late ‘90’s and during this first decade of the 21st century.  
    However, in the past year it seems that large non-
    denominational churches have been struggling to maintain
    their membership.  My over all impression is that people in
    general are becoming more open minded and willing to
    consider other less restrictive forms of spiritual practice.  I
    suspect that the July horoscope, and other dates, suggest
    that the winds have changed, and that people will
    progressively see spirituality in more humanistic terms and
    practices.  Wiccan type practices seem to be increasingly
    popular, because of demand, even the US military is being
    forced to recognize Wicca as a spiritual discipline.  I am not
    advocating Wicca, but because of its deep respect for nature
    and considering the terrible mess the human family as made
    of the earth, I would suggest that a focus on any practice that
    respects the earth may be a good thing.

    Successfully adapting to a changing world should be an
    objective for all people.  Ideally,  individually and
    collectively we will use energy and other resources in such a
    way as to not only protect nature but perhaps even help
    restore nature to its natural wonder.  Astrology at it’s core
    represents each man as an integral part of the natural world,
    and I suspect that as we are willing to live holistically, we
    will find a deep connection to nature and a great satisfaction
    with life.  

    Although as we study the earth we can see that mankind has
    inflicted massive damage and numerous Astrological events
    suggest the world is moving to a point of crisis, there is also
    a suggestion that many people are becoming more conscious
    and aware, perhaps humanity will awaken sufficiently in
    order to do the necessary housekeeping and repair.
