Everyone is asking, when will this ECONOMIC DOWNTURN turn UP????
Looking at current charts, we’ve just hit a low point (this past weekend as Heliocentric Earth made a conjunction with Heliocentric Saturn). But Helio Venus is approaching Helio Saturn (exact March 16), which makes immediate economic (or romantic) recovery next to impossible. The entire Earth is going through a time of restriction.
Why Heliocentric charts and what are they? Heliocentric is from the Sun’s perspective. And it works for financial matters.
However, using the usual Geocentric (normal) or the Heliocentric chart, Saturn and Uranus are opposing this year, and that has been at the root of this economic downturn. The last pass of this opposition is in September 2009, HOWEVER….
Saturn and Uranus will continue to oppose in Aries-Libra. With a CARDINAL GRAND CROSS. This could not be more of a call to action. If we do not figure this out, massive problems more intense than we can currently imagine, can get very real. In other words, if real estate can only go UP and never DOWN, that will make most of the world’s population homeless. Only the few wealthiest people can afford to purchase homes and apartments. Or rent them. What about all the rest of us? Who can barely afford their rising utility bills, let alone rent??? Where is more and more money supposed to come from? Loans? That wild and crazy concept of living on credit didn’t work out so well. Kind of put the world in a hole. Where else? The stock market. Another questionable venture. Your job that’s in jeopardy, gone, or now brings in less? So seriously, where? We are supposed to pay more and more and more. Everyone is. All the time. Every year. More! That is NOT sustainable, and if you’ve been reading my posts for the past few years and listening to any media, you will know, this is a time of sustainability.
In these difficult times, we need something to uplift us. We do not need MORE bad news. So people shy away from astrology, which has the potential to give bad news. Tough things do happen in life, and to pretend they don’t takes away the power you have to make changes. But we know that. But it’s still true. The way I look at astrology is like a map of wise clues that help you to get from the tough times to better times in a way that serves your highest good and best interests. Because it comes directly from you, from your own inner wisdom, which comes directly from Source.
The current economic situation can last well into 2010 as the Saturn-Uranus opposition continues on into Aries-Libra, with an exact opposition at 0 degrees Aries-Libra on July 26, 2010. Not only is this NOT going away any time soon, in Aries-Libra it starts to have a lot of ACTIVE aggressive potential that is just getting started…. 0 Aries represents the starting point of cycles, the very beginning of all that is. And a major aspect on this degree signifies a cycle that is JUST STARTING.
As the NYTimes (yes, i read it daily) reports on Saturday, March 14, in this jobless market, more people are awakening to their “inner entrepreneur” and thinking of ways to make $$$ by doing things people need and want. NOW. Romance novels are through the roof in sales. Not my hot little cup of tea pursed to my luscious red lips, but for those who are comforted by it, great! My grandfather did well during The Depression of the 30s because he owned a movie theater, family biz back then, yiddish theater and all. As more people enter the entrepreneurial market, perhaps there will be more understanding of how business works and more support for the small business owner.
Astrology is not a volume business. People are offended that it has to be a business at all, it should be something people who care just do in their “spare” time.
We want the rewards of astrology that has the funding of Wal-Mart, yet we resent that it’s a business.
We want it both ways, whether or not it’s rational, sustainable, or realistic. Hopefully, we will get to the point where we just want to be conscious and have understanding so we don’t have to carry around heavy burdens and loads of unnecessary stress. Because that is exactly what’s hurting us most.
All my best,

Saturn exalted in Libra indicates contention, and Uranus in Aries- wow! However I see the battle between the two old men of the Zodiac as a possible return to reason. Libra is an Air sign, seeking to equalize, and we will be leaving Virgo, probably the worst of all signs for Saturn. Aries is the sign of freshness. 2012 is a good case for a bottom. 2010 is the disturbance.
