Click on chart to enlarge.


DATA:  APRIL 25, 2013 @ 3:58 PM EDT - WASHINGTON, DC

The major focus is on the financial scene for not only do the Moon and Sun occupy the financial houses, but the financial signs, as well.  Add in the Moon conjoined Saturn in Scorpio and the Sun conjoined Mars in Taurus - the two malefics Mars and Saturn opposing one another - and you have a scene wherein the excrement hits the oscillator.  Run, Spot, Run.

Saturn in Scorpio in the 2nd house (the financial state of the nation and its purchasing power) and Pluto in Capricorn in the 4th house (living conditions of the population) are in mutual reception and provide hidden resources for each other.  Saturn rules corporations and the administration in power.  Pluto rules tyrants and dictators; plutocrats and their secret agreements between businesses or corporations that enable them to defraud the public.  Expect the DHS to move against the people as the situation of the country's financial state is revealed and to protect the thieves attempting to sneak away unscathed.  They may not be successful this time around because Uranus in Aries in the 7th house square Pluto may stage a grand surprise to the jack-booted thugs (JBTs).

Now for some good news...for Jupiter conjoined the Gemini Midheaven promises that the truth shall come out, that mad dogs of industry and mad dogs of military and police aggression are to be restrained for the protection of all.

BITCOINS

Click on chart to enlarge.


TRUTH is dual.  It is a correct mental relation to some energy, law, or condition.  It is the conformity of cognition to reality.  Only if we are aware of reality can we act in the proper manner.  One of the functions of astrology is to delve below the truth of appearances and uncover the truth of reality. 

DATA:  January 3, 2009.

Bitcoins are supposedly the invention of a man who called himself Satoshi Nakamoto.  The name is a pseudonym.  He who is called Nakamoto mined the first 50 bitcoins on January 3, 2009 and virtual currency was born.

In October 2011, the New Yorker writes:  "There are lots of ways to make money: You can earn it, find it, counterfeit it, steal it. Or, if you’re Satoshi Nakamoto, you can invent it. That’s what he did on the evening of January 3, 2009, when he pressed a button on his keyboard and created a new currency called Bitcoin. It was all bit, and no coin. There was no paper, copper, or silver—just thirty-one thousand lines of code and an announcement on the Internet."

Before the debut of Bitcoin there was no record of any coder with the name Satoshi Nakamoto.   The e-mail address and  Web site used were untraceable.  In astrology the father - giver of seed - is represented by the Sun.  On January 3rd the Sun is in the sign Capricorn, ruler of  government officials, representatives and activities. 

Digital currency is governed by the planet Uranus, ruling all things electronic.  Uranus in this horoscope is on the 20th degree of the sign Pisces.

Of Uranus, astrologer Barbara H. Watters writes:  "In consideration of Uranus and its influence, remember that its action is extreme and of a back-lash type.  It brings benefit from disaster, and disaster from what seems like incredible good luck...Its promises are noble, but when fulfilled they turn, mysteriously, into their opposites.  Be wary of Uranus bearing gifts."

Uranus - in the Bitcoin chart - is opposed by Saturn, indicating a lack of stability or security because circumstances over which there is no control may unexpectedly cause deprivation of whatever is depended upon. 

Pisces, natural ruler of the 12th house, represents bondage and involuntary servitude when a planet thus located is afflicted, as Uranus in Pisces is by an opposition from Saturn.  Neptune, ruler of Pisces, is closely inconjunct Saturn, dispositor of the four planets in the sign of Capricorn...government.  With Neptune in adverse aspect to things denoting government, it is safe to assume some degree of deception, delusion, or fraud is operating, and that it is connected with the sign in which Neptune is placed...which is Aquarius, ruler of electronics and which among people signifies people engaged in mass marketing.

The 20th degree of Pisces, as noted by astrologer Martin Goldsmith, speaks to getting caught up in an intoxicating shared illusion and then suffering a sobering moment when one catches a glimpse of a more authentic level of reality.

Surprising external events wait in the wings to upset the course of Bitcoin action in late May, in June and July of 2013...a well-planned trap to be sprung that may sever connections resulting in no access.

The lesson to be learned:  Saturn, the teacher, is retrograde in the sign Virgo...discrimination, discrimination, discrimination.

Turn up the volume on your intuitive sense, it is your personal spiritual guide that will see you through the exigencies of our times.



May the forces of evil become confused on the way to your house.

ASTROLOGY AND HEALING: STRESS


Fight = Mars..................Flight = Saturn

Stress is the organism's response to external or internal (self-generated) conditions or stimulus, the body's manner in which to react to a challenge.  External causes of stress can be major life changes, relationship difficulties, financial problems, children and family.  Internal causes of stress can stem from lack of assertiveness, unrealistic expectations and inability to accept uncertainty.

In today's world, stress is so commonplace as to become a way of life.  Stress isn't always a negative if occurring in small amounts as it can motivate a person towards achievement.  An overdose, however, will exact a heavy price on your mind and body.  Depending on the stressful event, the response will become either fight or flight, impacting a person's mental and physical well-being.

Our nervous system responds to a perceived threat by releasing a flood of stress hormones which include adrenaline and cortisol, so as to prepare the body for emergency action.  These hormones are ruled by the planets Mars and Saturn.  The physical changes - heart beats faster, blood pressure rises, muscles tighten, breath quickens, senses sharpen - increase strength and stamina, speed reaction time, and enhance focus - preparing you to either fight (Mars) or flee (Saturn) from any danger.

Chronic stress disrupts nearly every system in our bodies; long-term exposure can lead to serious health problems as it suppresses the immune system, increases the risk of heart attack and stroke, speed up the aging process, and rewire the brain so that one is vulnerable to anxiety and depression.

SOLUTIONS FOR MARS: 

The adrenal glands should be kept strong and vigorous through affording them a diet including Vitamin A, Vitamin B-1, Vitamin C, Iron and a variety of proteins.  They will then have at hand the materials from which they can manufacture adrenalin and cortin, and not be called upon to do the impossible.

The thought-cells of Mars has a strong desire to perform some constructive work that this inner-plane work will absorb so much of their energy that they will have insufficient left with which to attract negative events.

This is best accomplished by using the Domestic thoughts, ruled by the Moon, as an antidote.  These are thoughts that relate to helping the weak, the helpless and the unfortunate.  They should be substituted for the Mars thoughts whenever these begin to enter objective consciousness, and they should be cultivated through forming some plan, project or work in which pleasure can be experienced, having to do with the comfort of the family, or which contributes to the welfare of the aged or young or those otherwise helpless.

Typical negative Mars thoughts are those of anger, irritation, lust, and those which accompany the feeling of antagonism and the tendency to strife, undue haste, or the undue expenditure of energy.  Whenever any such states of consciousness begin to be felt the attention should be resolutely turned to some constructive effort that will assist those who are unable to help themselves.  And to give more energy to these thoughts and feelings, Moon planetary energies may be tuned in on and used as Rallying Forces.  To tune in on the Moon planetary energies the feeling should be induced such as a mother feels for a babe in her arms, but this feeling should be towards the weak or helpless individuals to whom help is being given.

SOLUTIONS FOR SATURN:

Saturn tends to weaken through deficiency, the diet should also contain variety of the mineral salts and vitamins.  While variety of protein is recommended, too much meat tends to produce an acid condition of the blood stream, and this in turn places an additional burden upon the adrenalin supply, one function of which is to neutralize the acids.  The blood stream should be kept slightly alkaline by eating lots of fruits and vegetables.  Additionally, make up a mixture of apple cider vinegar, concentrated cranberry juice and fresh squeezed lemon juice, dilute with spring water and add Stevia to sweeten.  Your liver will be most grateful.

To prevent the Saturn thought-cell activities from exhausting the adrenalin supply, through deficiency of mineral salts from giving an acid blood stream, and through vitamin or protein deficiency lowering the physical energy, whenever thoughts of anxiety, fear, greed, selfishness or disappointment start entering the mind, these should be displaced with pleasurable thoughts involving the affections or social interests, and by maintaining the Sun feeling that the energies are slightly pressing outward and holding the Sun attitude of power, poise, vitality and self-respect.

Additionally, you can boost your serenity with regular relaxation techniques such as yoga and meditation that will increase your ability to stay calm under pressure.
