Why are there no astrological explanations for the financial crisis?

[dynasaw]

Here we are, a bankrupt nation, millions out of work, others sliding into poverty, and no sign of relief any where.

Can you astrological experts provide a planetary explanation for the mess we're in? Do the transitions
indicate any relief?

3. Why are you assuming that there are none. . .?

There are plenty of them.

There are practitioners who specialize in financial astrology exclusively. A handful of them won't even read for individuals regarding personal issues.

Arch Crawford has been highly regarded in financial markets ever since he called the crash of '87 to the very day. Ray Merriman is another talented one.

All the outermost planets have their influence for good or ill on the financial markets.

Saturn and Pluto are notorious for bringing people and businesses to their knees if there are imbalances which there often are. Neptune can dissolve riches or delude and/or inspire people into making boatloads. Uranus can bring sudden losses and bountiful windfalls.

You may think that the realm of astrology never addresses such things, yet if you ask any practicing astrologers they'll tell you that most querists ask about only two subjects: love & money.

A colleague once sardonically joked that we could eliminate all but the four of the houses that influence those arenas of life and most wouldn't have a clue that we were marginalizing huge swaths of their lives.

More to the point, a house of cards will simply not stand. Leave it to the outer most planets to play 52-78 pick up with us all.

4. None, that is, on this group

I did get a great referral to Rick DiClemente's site with three essays on the impact of Pluto. Particularly Pluto in Capricorn for the net year or so.

Other threads reflect the wholesale anxiety ordinary people are having about the shaky financial situations families are facing: joblessness, insufficient funds to cover basic necessities or retirement, etc.

5. One big thing

is that the USA's chart has VENUS AT 2 CANCER. Venus in the natal chart is a country's economy, monies, etc.
Pluto has been all over that and will continue for 13 more years.
Uranus is all over it now.
Neptune is on it now.
It is being bombarded.

that's because it needs renewed.
also, the FED'S chart is being hit hard too
many, many reasons

I'm glad you liked the articles, then combine it all together
peace

6. Can't speak about the planetary influences but it's all about greed and superficiality/phoniness.

America has some national karma in regard to squandering such a huge percentage of the world's resources (and using the military/intelligence complex to gain even more). Capitalism has finally bred the perfect capitalist and they're just doing what such beings would naturally do-- attempting to control everything. Many know about peak oil and global warming and are moving to control as many natural resources as possible before it gets worse.

Watch for more Change along these lines. The book "Confessions of an economic hitman" is supposed to be quite good, and all DUers owe it to themselves to either read or watch "Enron: Smartest guys in the room" for insight and perspective.
