Abstract:
The most powerful astrological aspect to the USA’s horoscope since 1776 occurs
21 April 2014 and combines
energies of sudden, unexpected, overwhelming transformation especially in the
areas of the US’s relationship with partnerships, authority, personal finances
and other people’s money.
The US has been under the thralldom of powerful
astrological energy for some time already, this energy will increase
significantly as 2014 begins, will continue throughout 2015, and will take many
years after that to fully equilibrate.
My concluding prophesy is that by the end of the Twenty
First Century America will have paid back most of its karmic debts of empire
and will rejoin the ranks of the 8 to 10 most prosperous countries at about the
midpoint of the prosperity scale.
Predictions[2]:
- US dollar no
longer used as world reserve currency and even refused for some
transactions [gold]
- Hyperinflation in
the US as overseas dollars return [up to 50% of US dollars are overseas]
- Conflagrations
regarding US housing
- Problems with
food supply
Overview: Previous work[3]
has delineated a significant recurring disruptive astrological aspect affecting
the entire world with recent occurrences in the periods:
- 1960-1972 [midpoint 1965];
- 1928-1937 [midpoint 1932];
- 1898-1907 [midpoint 1902].
The current aspect of major discord occurs from
2007-2020 with peak energy in 2012 thru 2015 and an aspect on 21 April 2014
that overwhelmingly impacts the natal horoscope of the US. Only slightly less powerful astrological aftershocks
occur to the US 15 December 2014 and 17 March 2015.
Solutions:
“One of our clients grew up on a farm in
Germany. Years ago he told us about what happened in 1921. His parents had a
large mortgage on the farm. One day, at the peak of the hyperinflation, they
took ten dozen eggs to market and sold them. With the proceeds they went to the
bank and paid off the mortgage.” Other instructive stories here - http://www.investmentrarities.com/best_of_jim_cook05-24-05.shtml
”…the
paper mark totally collapsed in value against foreign currencies and gold,
which encouraged wild speculation on the foreign exchange and stock markets,
during which smart operators and large industrial groups accumulated large
fortunes at the expense of small savers and the working class.”…
“…..In the
meantime, an index of German share prices (1913 = 100) rose from 126 in January
1918 to 531,300,000 in September 1923, and to 23,680,000 million in November
1923 amidst extremely high volatility. (In dollar terms, because of the
currency depreciation, the same index (1913 = 100) fell from 101.55 in January
1918 to 2.72 in October 1922, before recovering to 39.36 in November 1923.) The
extremely high volatility of the stock market is a typical feature of
hyperinflating economies.”

Singapore
will be subject to STRONG changes during this
period and will be meeting “attacks of fortune.” [4]
In March 2015 Pluto will transit Singapore’s Capricorn
Moon in the first house and transiting Uranus will square the Moon from the 4th
house. All throughout 2014 and 2015 Singapore will experience many
transformations with what appears to be a significant increase of other
people’s money as Jupiter transits the 8th house from September 2014
through May 2015.
People
[and entities] born in the period late 1965 and again April 1966 through 15
July 1966 were born with a
natal conjunction of Uranus and Pluto in Virgo. All these will be STRONGLY
subject to the upcoming square of Uranus and Pluto during the next 3 years
ESPECIALLY during the period of March 17, 2015 when the Ur/Pl square comes
exact. Overall the changes suffered by these nativities could be considered
positive as Pluto will be in Capricorn, harmonious to the Virgo placement of
Uranus and Pluto natally. BUT, with friends like Pluto who needs enemies? Uranus
during the square will be in Aries, quincunx Virgo.

Jupiter
transiting the US Sun in the 8th house – “This is primarily a house
of crisis and refers to those points in life where the emotional ties to others
force a man to the realization of some vital area of his own feeling nature
which must be recognized, examined and purified. Here money becomes the symbol
of emotional dependence or freedom…” thus, a crisis of TOO MUCH. Saturn, Liz Greene, pg. 24
·
Saturn
in the tenth house is generally considered to symbolize ambition, a slow climb
to power with many setbacks and delays, and, if he is afflicted, a subsequent fall from power. Saturn, Liz Greene, pg. 49 [The
US’s Sun is “afflicted” by Saturn.]
·
Pluto
redresses imbalance. The US has severely overreacted to threats such as Pearl
Harbor and 9/11 by compulsively lashing out internationally. The strong
destructive/recreative energy of Pluto will force the US to confront its fears
of poverty, hunger, homelessness, and destruction in its own lands where we
have for many years foisted these same problems on others.

“The
only way we find out we have the capacity to survive our own ego-death is to go

Beginning March 2014 Pluto and Uranus make a series of
hard aspects to each other and to the natal Sun/Saturn square of the US. As
aspects of the outer planets Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto are slow moving the
transits begin to take effect long before the exact aspects occur. Thus, the US has been under the thralldom
of powerful astrological energy for some time already, this energy will
increase significantly as 2014 begins, will continue throughout 2015, and will
take many years after that to fully equilibrate.
Previous periods of Pluto’s hard aspects [0, 90, 180
degrees] to the US Sun are: 1835, 1925, 1977 and now in 2014. These dates are
the midpoints of about a 4 year strong action of Pluto transiting the Sun/Saturn
square of the US’s horoscope with a hard angle. [Pluto made hard angles to the
US Saturn in 1978, 1927, and 1836.] At these previous times there was NO
interaction of other outer planets, Uranus or Neptune as there is now with
Uranus.
Uranus transits the zodiac every 84 years making hard
aspects to the US’s Sun every 21 years [84/4]. Uranian energy is strong in the
US’s horoscope and its constitution as can be noted from the following
sequence:
1776+84=1860, +84=1944, +84=2028
I have ALREADY, 5 years ago, predicted US involvement
in a major war with many casualties in 2028. Be prepared. One hypothetical could be the attempt by China to
expropriate Alaska and the US forced to unite with Mexico and Canada as a
single nation. Past periods of this energy have a major theme of UNIFICATION.
2. Pluto/Uranus is an explosive combination. The US has a
lot of “bombing karma” which is as yet unrequited, and mostly unacknowledged.
An extra-terrestrial event centered on the US would certainly satisfy the
energy of this aspect. Note the numbers of people leaving the US as expats. Consider
also a major quake.
I did receive one reply to a preliminary version of this blog entry:
“Once upon a time, walking around
shouting “The end is nigh” got you labeled a kook, someone not to be taken
seriously. These days, however, all the best people go around warning of
looming disaster. In fact, you more or less have to subscribe to fantasies of
fiscal apocalypse to be considered respectable. And
I do mean fantasies.” http://nyti.ms/1eOtEib
Well, we will see. At least I can classify myself as one of
“the best people” even if no one else does. Normally one would not think to so
roundly oppose the views of a Nobel Prize winning economist – Krugman, the
author of the “all is well” view, but, clearly, things are not ‘normal’.
PLUS, he’s got badges and “We ain't got no badges. We don't
need no badges! I don't have to show you any stinkin' badges!"
However, it is
clear that America is ALREADY dealing with all the issues pointed to by this
forecast such as:
·
Other people’s money – foreign investors are
afraid they will not get back their money as the dollar slides in value
·
Domestic investors are afraid of upcoming
bail-ins and IRA conversions to worth-less paper [MyRA accounts!]
·
We are dealing with issues of excesses of
‘money’ – and I use the term loosely as there are many questions of our money’s
value
·
You may have noticed America’s power in the
world being questioned. We have failed to prevail [lost, actually] our last two
conflicts against a bunch of ‘towelheads’ in Third World countries. In addition
to failing to prevail in Vietnam and Korea.
·
Pluto deals with the Underworld. We have a transit
– increasing Pluto energy – affecting the Sun of the US which sits in the
natural house of Pluto, the 8th, and both transiting Pluto and the
natal Sun of the US interact inharmoniously with the Saturn of the US in the 10th
House of authority, all of this energized negatively by Uranus, ruler of the
unexpected and revolutionary change. What more perfect representation could
there be than a Western ‘towelhead’ suddenly exposing America’s worldwide
spying campaign.
·
Noticed any problems with food supply in America
lately? A seventh of the US’s total population – 46 million! - is currently
receiving food stamp ‘benefits’ and substantial cuts are coming.
So, astrology ALREADY accurately points to the issues in the
fore right now AND I am predicting that these and other issues have only begun for the US.
More predictions and comments on the USA:

My concluding prophesy is that by the end of the Twenty
First Century America will have paid back most of its karmic debts of empire
and will rejoin the ranks of the 8 to 10 most prosperous countries at about the
midpoint of the prosperity scale.
An Apocalyptic
Addendum
We’ve all become to numb to the A-word! http://www.salon.com/2014/02/26/americas_apocalypse_obsession_partner/
It’s called “psychic numbing” – we’ve all had so many prophesies come at us of
doom that we go numb when some “towel head” astrologer trots out another one.
It’s understandable; HOWEVER, I argue we are, in fact, in the grip of an era of
great changes in civilization that occurs infrequently in human history. My
major predictive themes in the past 10 years have been:
1.
A great event causing death to hit the USA in
September 2005 – Katrina
2.
The demise of the Federal Reserve and the US’s
current method of financing itself with a debt kiting scheme called US Treasury
Bonds – an on-going debacle
3.
The end of the American empire – beginning about
2005 also.

CHALMERS JOHNSON: Nemesis was the ancient Greek goddess of revenge, the
punisher of hubris and arrogance in human beings. You may recall she is the one
that led Narcissus to the pond and showed him his reflection, and he dove in
and drowned. I chose the title, because it seems to me that she’s present in
our country right now, just waiting to make her — to carry out her
divine mission. Nemesis: The Last Days of
the American Republic
Lao Tzu, a 6th century BC poet observed, "Those who
have knowledge don't predict. Those who predict don't have knowledge." Well, we’ll just see about that!
And the lot of those who prophesize.
The Death
of John the Baptist
This is John the Baptist; he is risen from the dead; and
therefore mighty works do show forth themselves in him. For Herod had laid hold
on John, and bound him, and put him in
prison……he would have put him to death, [but] he feared the multitude, because
they counted him as a prophet.
But when Herod's birthday was kept, the daughter of
Hero'dias danced before them, and pleased Herod. Whereupon he promised with an
oath to give her whatsoever she would ask. And she, being before instructed of
her mother, said, Give me here John Baptist's head in a charger. And the king
was sorry: nevertheless for the oath's sake, and them which sat with him at
meat, he commanded it to
be given her. And he sent, and beheaded John
in the prison. And his head was brought in a charger, and given to the damsel:
and she brought it to her mother. And
his disciples came, and took up the body, and buried it, and went and told Jesus.
From
Plato re: Attacks of fortune
The
law would say that to be patient under suffering is best, and that we should
not give way to impatience, as there is
no knowing whether such things are good or evil; and nothing is gained by
impatience; also, because no human thing is of serious importance, and grief
stands in the way of that which at the moment is most required.
What
is most required? He asked.
That
we should take counsel about what has happened, and when the dice have been
thrown order our affairs in the way which reason deems best; not, like children
who have had a fall, keeping hold of the part struck and wasting time in
setting up a howl, but always accustoming the soul forthwith to apply a remedy,
raising up that which is sickly and fallen, banishing the cry of sorrow by the
healing art.
Yes,
he said, that is the true way of meeting the attacks of fortune.
Yes, I said; and the higher principle is ready to follow
this suggestion of reason?
Clearly. And the other principle,
which inclines us to recollection of our troubles and to lamentation, and can
never have enough of them, we may call irrational, useless, and cowardly? http://classics.mit.edu/Plato/republic.11.x.html
