BITCOINS

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.
