Economic adversity

When the signs in the sky herald economic adversity

by DW Sutton

Events on the Earth have their astrological markers and when the planets in the sky form unfavorable alignments they herald unfortunate events and adversity. And in September, October and November 2015 there are 3 unfavorable alignments.

Jupiter is opposition Neptune September 17; Mars is conjunction Jupiter October 17 — see featured article; and Saturn is square Neptune November 26. And these aspects come hot on the heels of Jupiter square Saturn which was at its peak power and discord on August 3. It brought The Greek-debt crisis; Russia’s financial crisis and the Chinese stock market crash. On July 27 the Chinese stock market crashed 8.5% - the biggest one-day fall since 2007 — and on August 11 The People’s Bank of China devalued the Chinese yuan in an attempt to boost the economy. So these upcoming Jupiter/Neptune, Mars/Jupiter and Saturn/Neptune aspects are operating in a global environment that has big economic and financial problems. Every country has its own Jupiter opposition Neptune chart and Saturn square Neptune chart — four of the more important charts are featured.

Jupiter is the financial planet. He oversees the world’s finances, currencies and banking systems and exerts his influence through the bankers, finance ministers, financiers and treasurers. He rules capitalism and wants growth, expansion and higher profits. On the share market Jupiter rules bank/financial stocks and bull markets. Jupiter manages the world’s money, but are the Central Banks losing control of the situation?

Saturn is the mining and farming planet. He’s economical, hates waste and buys at the cheapest price. His desire for safety and security easily expresses as selfishness and greed. Saturn is the planet of poverty, hardship, unemployment and debt; and the world’s mountain of debt is beyond comprehension. On the share market Saturn rules mining stocks and bear markets.

Neptune is the utopian planet. He imagines idealistic conditions and dreams of utopian wealth and a lifestyle free from hardship and discord. He’s easily confused, causes uncertainty and unless rigidly disciplined descends into chaos. On the share market Neptune rules oil stocks, the investors and booms and busts. So with Neptune — the planet that’s happy to believe anything — the share market swings wildly up and down. But with Saturn — the planet who’s easily spooked and frightened — the direction is always down.

Jupiter opposition Neptune will reach peak power and discord September 17, 2015 and will end November 16.

The world in 2016

Jupiter and Saturn are in the business of buying and selling the goods that Mars manufactures and business trends can be forecast by their movements in their cycle charts and the sky.

On January 9, 2016 Jupiter turns retrograde and moves to form a square aspect with Saturn on March 23. And this Jupiter-Saturn square aspect will be a prominent feature in the 2016 Sun cycle that commences March 20. The third and final Jupiter-Saturn square — a high-discord energy merger that marks for recessed business activity and lower profits — is formed May 26, 2016.

On March 26, 2016 Saturn turns retrograde and moves to form a square aspect with Neptune on June 18, 2016. The third and final Saturn-Neptune square aspect reaches its peak power and discord September 10, 2016.

Jupiter is square Pluto November 24, 2016 and opposition Uranus December 26.

Throughout 2016 Uranus and Pluto remain within orb of a square aspect. Uranus rules technology stocks and the computer technology that the traders use when placing their lightning fast sell and buy orders. Pluto rules computers, crime, computer hackers and cyber crime.

There are 3 Mars conjunctions in 2016. Mars is conjunction Saturn August 24, 2016; Mars is conjunction Pluto October 19; and Mars is conjunction Neptune January 1, 2017.

Saturn square Neptune, Uranus square Pluto and these 3 Mars conjunctions are the outstanding influences on global affairs during 2016, but whatever eventuates will be triggered by events occurring in September, October and November 2015.
