[Several times on this blog I’ve quoted financial astrologer Ray Merriman, whose readings are familiar to a number of financial institutions and analysts, and who has an uncanny ability to evaluation and predict economic trends. That’s why I was pleased earlier this week to see the financial website Bankrate.com feature Ray (photo below) in an article by reporter Jay MacDonald. Here are some excerpts.]
Wouldn't you have liked a little advance warning about the great market meltdown of 2008?Ray began writing about it in 1991.
In astro-lingo, it's called a Cardinal Climax. And it's a nasty bugger.
"A Cardinal Climax occurs when three of the four outermost planets (Saturn, Uranus, Neptune and/or Pluto) enter different 'cardinal signs' and thus form what are known as T-squares to one another," Ray says.
"Cardinal signs are the signs that begin each season -- Aries, Cancer, Libra and Capricorn. Since these far-out planets move so slowly in their orbits around the sun, such a pattern is quite rare. It occurs every 80 to 90 years."
You've probably guessed by now that the last Cardinal Climax occurred in the 1929-to-1934 time frame. Hmmm, Grandpa did mention something about breadlines back then.
But before that, it occurred in 1841 to 1852 and 1759 to 1778.
"Each of these coincide with severe economic downturns and heightened social, even revolutionary, tendencies," Ray says.
If you're keeping an astro-scorecard, Pluto entered Capricorn in January 2008, Saturn will enter Libra in late October 2009 and Uranus will enter Aries in late May 2010. They will be making "hard aspects" to one another through 2015.
"I've been forecasting this period 2008 to 2015 as a daunting challenge for the economy since then, and of course, we now see that this astrological cycle and its correspondence with the same historical themes is once again occurring, right on time," says Ray.

gosh!
but i should admit that this is true... i'm experiencing it closely on both personal and social planes...
now this reamains for us to devise new ways to go on... to adapt... to live gracefully inspite of all this...
it's a tough task... really tough!
thus we become human...
Welcome back, HB. Your phrase "to live gracefully in spite of all this" is the essence of our lives.
Whether the difficulties arise from this particular astrological alignment, a troubled economy, or a contentious romance, finding the graceful and compassionate path helps us and our fellow humans to continue down the paths of our lives with joy and dignity.
As you say, "thus we become human."
Peace to you, HB.
