High Finance and the Federal Reserve

The G20 summit along with a raft of downward figures across the globe for trade, housing etc is focussing the minds of the economic high IQs on the malodorous prospect of the next great dip. The credit chief at RBS (Royal Bank of Scotland) says in a note to investors:- “We cannot stress enough how strongly we believe that a cliff-edge may be around the corner, for the global banking system (particularly in Europe) and for the global economy. Think the unthinkable." Societe Generale's top dog said the Fed Reserve and other central banks will be forced to print more money whatever they now say, given the "stinking fiscal mess" across the developed world. The Bank for International Settlements warns, sovereign debt crises are nearing "boiling point" in half the world economy. Uncheerful though it is, for once they may be right since the astrology is certainly all pointing that way. Ben Bernanke of the Fed Reserve is a firm advocate of quantitative easing (printing money) to keep the economy stimulated tho’ he may not win the argument in the US. His chart certainly indicates that the major and panicky pressures which picked up on his chart in 2008 won’t disappear for another two years and he’s got quite a jolt coming in 2011/12 as his Solar Arc Uranus squares his natal Sagittarius Sun. His natal T square of Uranus oppoisition Moon’s North Node in Capricorn square Mars Neptune has been moving by Solar Arc Direction to have first the panicky, undermining Solar Arc Mars Neptune conjunct his Sun in 2008 and Solar Arc Uranus is now moving to complete the four year worst-ever shake up in his chart and life. He’s also got a really tough, slog-on tr Pluto conjunct his Solar Arc Saturn this July/Aug and Oct/Nov which tr Saturn also squares in late Aug 2010 and then tr Uranus opposes his Solar Arc Saturn in 11/12 with considerable tensions ensuing from that. The Fed Reserve chart itself tells much the same story with its’ very central Saturn Pluto in Cancer having been under pressure from tr Pluto since 2008 and it now facing another dose of a discouraging tr Saturn square Saturn Pluto across this summer; and then tr Saturn conjunct Midheaven and conjunct Solar Arc Saturn Pluto – which is a serious reality check requiring tough decisions. The Fed Res Saturn Pluto is tied into a Water Grand Trine of Saturn Pluto trine Mercury Moon in Scorpio trine NNode in Pisces. Into 2011/12 tr Uranus is adding another huge jolt in a square to that natal Saturn Pluto and pulling at all of the Grand Trine; with tr Pluto adding pressure and intense arguments with sextiles to the Mercury Moon. By 2012 tr Pluto square tr Uranus hits the Midheaven if the 9am start is accurate, but even if not will catch the Solar Arc Saturn Pluto through 13/14. And just to add to the Fed Reserves’ woes – as if Saturn, Pluto, Uranus wasn’t enough – tr Neptune into Pisces will start an undermining conjunction to the Pisces North Node and trine Saturn Pluto in 12/13. Definitely grit teeth for a bumpy ride ahead.
