Economic Forecast for first half 2009. How We Got Here..Where We are Going
(Mods..I didn't post this in the Astrology section, although it is based on Astroogy, it has an uncanny feel for economic issues and current events facing our country in the first half of 2009.
Move if forum is inappropriate)

(snip)

One does not have to be an economist to see that the government bailouts have not worked. After investing four trillion dollars in an attempt to lubricate the wheels of lending, the only result is the enrichment of the wildly reckless speculators who caused the crisis in the first place. From a metaphysical point of view the economic crisis is a purgative, an unpleasant but necessary precursor to healing. As the Neptune/Moon transit suggests, beneath America’s panic about the economy is a malaise that has nothing to do with the material world. Clients who visit an astrologer these days and insist that all they want to talk about are “practical” issues like their 401ks are missing the point. As distressing as the financial facts are, the deeper issue is that of psycho-spiritual health.

The abyss of difference between the stories American-dreamers tell themselves and the statistical realities of their economic lives is reaching the point where there will be either an unprecedented mass revelation or a mass psychotic breakdown.

The cosmos is using this “recession” (the act of receding or withdrawing) to force us to reassess the role played by material issues in human experience. How much does matter matter?

2. If material possessions are so overrated, I recommend to all who think that way
1. Get rid of their possessions
2. Log on to a public-use computer (from a library or bar) and tell us all about it

3. Astrology = 100% utter BS crap.
and anyone who believes that crap deserves being mocked and humiliated for being stupid.
