USA Debt Crisis


There are two critical transits affecting the United States right now:

  • A – Saturn Return – Saturn takes 27 to 20 years to orbit and has, since early 2010, been hovering around Saturn in the USA chart.

    Saturn transits, particularly the Saturn return, represent exactly what has been created on the physical plane. This is reality with a capital ‘R’ and the effects will be felt for another month.

    A Saturn transit feels heavy and even depressing. It is not possible to lapse into false optimism. The gift of a Saturn transit is that you can see very clearly what needs to be adjusted.

    Saturn squares the Sun in the USA ‘birth’ chart so there is almost a doubling of the effect and a dampening effect on everyone, particularly the leadership.

    Saturn brings up unresolved issues from the past and presents another opportunity to make corrections.

    From Astrological Musings! by Lynn Hayes:
    The last US Saturn Return occurred in 1981-1982. Ronald Reagan was president, and his hardline posturing (Saturn) in the world (tenth house) created new alliances (Libra) with the new Russian leader Gorbachev. Although he had signed the Economic Recovery Tax Act of 1981, reality (Saturn) set in under the US Saturn return in 1982 and he was forced to admit that the nation was in a recession, and that balancing the budget was “not possible.” As transiting Saturn made an exactly conjunction to the US Saturn, unemployment reached a six-year high and Reagan’s promises of a balanced budget were deemed by his own Budget Director to be a “rosy scenario.”

  • B – Pluto Opposite Venus/Jupiter:

    Pluto’s orbit is approximately 250 years. Its effect on any point in a chart lasts for a period from one to three years and represents a ‘death and rebirth’ process that eliminates structures that are no longer working and plants the seeds for dynamic new growth.

    Pluto transits, particularly the opposition, involve power struggles and a period of severe testing. Pain is caused by trying to maintain old patterns instead of harnessing the powerful energies that are currently available to make exciting transformations.

    The Venus/Jupiter part of the opposition shows what areas will be affected. Venus represents what you love, value and possess. Pluto opposite Venus is often a time of dramatic changes to financial conditions. Pluto opposite Jupiter is often a period of legal struggles.

    Astrology of an Address ~ Dayel Kirk

    July 8, 2009

    Dayel Kirk has a fun freebie on her site, The Reluctant Astrologer. She gives you the astrology of your address. She takes only the number from your address (no street name) and assigns it to the 360 degree zodiac. If you live in an apartment, only the apartment number is used, not the street number.

    If you are a numerologist, you will find using the zodiac degree a very interesting addition to your number meanings.

    My address number corresponds with 14 Pisces. Dayel describes this as:

    A Pisces address is a place for rest or escape, relaxation, regeneration, creative expression, spiritual pursuits or solitude.

    At this address, I have cared for elderly parents, started a small theatre and this blog, studied various religious texts, delved into spirituality, and found a great deal of solitude. It’s much more relaxing than my previous address (perhaps too much so) and has recently been certified as a wildlife habitat.

    Thanks, Dayel! Please visit The Reluctant Astrologer to get the astrology of your address, along with some other freebies and some excellent posts on current astrological trends and personalities.
