Astro-Success is temporarily down while I devote some necessary time and energy to some other projects; this week is rather insignificant in terms of peaking aspects anyway. More current article and cycles info to come soon. Curtis Burns
The London FTSE stock exchange took quite a hit as 60 billion GBP vanished from sight, and as I write this blog US futures today are at a very ominious -560. Basically the world is having pre-shivers on the state of the global economy and its current world reserve currency, the US dollar.
There is very little confidence in the Bush plan unveiled last Friday giving tax rebates to US consumers, is mainly seen as an act of desparation. As this is all hitting the collective consciousness, it is not surprising that the stars are reflecting the sharp pangs of fear throughout the global economy. There is a unique line-up of malefic planets: the Sun is exactly bisecting Mars and Saturn in the sky today.
One of my favorite astrology books, The Combination of Stellar Influences , refers to this particular combination of planets as "...weak vitality, the inability to meet all demands or to master all situations."
Tomorrow, when the US stock market opens after its Martin Luther King Day holiday, it will be afflicted by the conjunction of Mercury and Neptune. This will most certainly have the effect of producing false, misleading, or abjectly delusory perceptions of the state of affairs. The US stock market of course has its Plunge Protection Team as its ace in the whole, which either massively sells off stocks or buys them up to maintain the perception that all is well in the American economic scene.
