Pluto moves into Capricorn and the markets shake

Written on January 28, 2008 by Bernadette

Hi Everyone,

Pluto has now just entered Capricorn, and many of us have been saying for years that the markets would go into melt-down or the world economy would have to find a different way of functioning as Pluto moves through the sign of the establishment and money markets. So I opened a paragema for firstly Paris, where the SocGen $5 billon loss has just occurred and also New York (for if the markets are going to go through a shake down and a reform then of course Wall St will be in the lead). I ran the parapegma just for this month and selected the date shown for Pluto moving into Capricorn (this is a really fast way to construct an ingress chart). I then had a look at the mundane parans for Neptune and Pluto and found the following: (Pluto because it is ingressing and Neptune which is currently forming an opposition to its position when the first company was listed on a stock market in 1602 in Amsterdam)

For the latitude of

Neptune - The Hopes and Fears of the Nation         
Culminating when Sadalsuud is Culminating orb 00 mins 48 secs -                   Sanctuary is lost, a group lacks the basic needs of life 

Pluto - The Crises or the Changes that Occur         
Setting when Facies is Setting orb 00 mins 38 secs - 
The end of one era and the beginning of another    
     
Setting when Castor is Rising orb 01 mins 57 secs -                  
A powerful orator or author takes the spotlight - Curtailed passage 

So the reputation of the French bank Societe Generale is seriously damaged, and indeed the bank may not even survive. (Neptune to Sadalsuud). One senses with this event at the time of Pluto’s ingress into Capricorn that this is not an isolated event and indeed that it is really just a warning shot. The whole  matter of trading financial derivatives, only done so since the 1970s, yet a practice which has rapidly becoming one of the foundations of the modern markets, could come under serious question.  Also Facies to Pluto does suggest the end of an era but hopefully a solution found by some brillant economist that suggest a whole new approach (Castor to Pluto).  Remember, Jerome Kerviel was simply betting on the share price indexes, he was not investing in actual companies and goods and his losses for the bank were larger then the GDP of a small nation.    And the stars for the latitude of New York, and thus Wall St

On Nadir when Hamal is Setting orb 01 mins 15 secs -   
Upheavals over matters to do with oil or chemicals 

Pluto - The Crises or the Changes that Occur         
Setting when Fomalhaut is Culminating orb 00 mins 05 secs -                  
Dreams or follies, idealism abounds         

On Nadir when Markab is Setting orb 00 mins 28 secs -                  
Inventions which change the way we live       
  
Rising when Vindemiatrix is Culminating orb 01 mins 04 secs -                  
A cyclone, literally or metaphorically  So the rapidly increasing price of oil, the stress on stock markets, huge losses and the collapse of respectable banks – it will take until 2024 before Pluto leaves Capricorn, but generally it seems to be that once a planet gets half-way through asign, all the major events have occurred and then the repair work begins. So between now and 2016 I think we can expect a world shake up on a scale never seen before. However, in a brief look at these parans it implies that new solutions are found, not just to oil but also to markets. Pluto with Markab in the saddle of Pegasus does suggest a better way is found.   Whatever the outcome, we now have Pluto in Capricorn.Bye for now
