From Around the Web, Magi Astrology in the News

According to an article titled, “Britain’s biggest banks use astrology to play the markets,” some people find astrology is of value when assessing the financial markets.

One of the interviewees was Jim Porter, chief technical analyst for one of the UK’s largest banks. According to the article, he uses heliocentric Magi Astrology to predict the direction of the international financial markets.

“My attitude is that if you can test it, and it works, then it’s just another tool that you can use to predict the direction of the markets,” he says.

“I have tested it and astrology works. Used with other techniques it can give you confidence, and the more confidence you have, the bigger the risks you can take.”

The article went on to state that, “Millions of pounds worth of commodities, shares and currencies are traded on his command. His decisions may affect the value of your pension, your home, and perhaps decide whether or not you have a job tomorrow.”

Go Phillies!

Baseball season is here and, as always, this household roots for the Philadelphia Phillies. On our sister site, StarBaby paid homage to the team mascot and mentioned that the 300 pound team representative entered the baseball scene on April 25, 1978.

I simply had to look at the chart.

No wonder the Phillies Phanatic is such a popular fellow and a key member of the Mascot Hall of Fame. He was “born” with a planetary eclipse of the Sun and Chiron!

The asteroid Chiron has to do with spontaneity, impulsiveness, popularity and loyalty and what better planetary body to represent the heart and soul of a team mascot?

Not only does his chart have the Sun and Chiron conjunct, but the two are parallel in declination, so he is super popular with the public and charms everyone he meets!

That Sun/Chiron conjunction is square to Mars making him a super energetic fellow as well and a perfect fit for a baseball team since athletic sports are ruled by Mars.

Actually, the Sun/Chiron conjunction is at the center of a T-Square that involves not only Mars, but also Juno, the asteroid of fantasy. With Juno in the mix it’s no wonder no one knows exactly what the Phillie Phanatic really is—it is said he came from the Galapagos Islands but has anyone ever seen a giant green bird or two-legged animal like this one in real life?

He really gets along with humans and is quite the social animal, but that might be due to Venus and Mars both parallel in the declinations and both contraparallel Neptune accentuating his whimsical sense of fun.

This mascot has an irrepressible penchant for mischief and likes to climb in the stands with fans, takes daring rides across the ball field in his four-wheeler, dances on the dugout, and has tackled other mascots. That natal Sun square Mars brashness, however, has gotten him into trouble. Occasionally someone or something gets damaged by this 6 foot phenomenon. The Dodgers’ Tommy Lasorda lost his temper when mocked by the big green creature during a game in 1988 and assaulted the Phillie Phanatic during a nationally televised game. In May 2002 Bob Jarvis, professor of sports law at Nova Southeastern University, said that the Phanatic holds the “dubious record as the most-sued mascot in the majors.”

Apparently the Phanatic gets a bit too exuberant when mixing with the crowds and other teams. Gee, what else would you expect from a character born with a T-Square involving the Sun, Chiron and Mars and Juno?

Parting Shots from a Wall Street Muppet Master

“For the love of money is the root of all evil” (1 Timothy 6:10)

When Greg Smith publicly resigned from Goldman Sachs with a letter in the NY Times on March 14, 2012 he mentioned how callous and money-hungry the company has become. He added new words to our lexicon as he detailed how company executives called clients ”Muppets” and were told to “hunt elephants.”

After twelve years with the company Greg Smith, a Goldman Sachs executive director and head of the firm’s United States equity derivatives business in Europe, the Middle East and Africa left with his own elephant guns blazing, stating that the company had become selfish and no longer cared for the best interests of the clients.

He said, “It astounds me how little senior management gets a basic truth: If clients don’t trust you they will eventually stop doing business with you. It doesn’t matter how smart you are.”

Even in my own small way, working with my own clients, I can testify to the truth of this statement. As well as what he said below.

He said, “Make the client the focal point of your business again. Without clients you will not make money. In fact, you will not exist. Weed out the morally bankrupt people, no matter how much money they make for the firm. And get the culture right again, so people want to work here for the right reasons. People who care only about making money will not sustain this firm — or the trust of its clients — for very much longer.”

The negative publicity and the accusations of “selfishness” in senior management coincide with the transit of Saturn square natal Sun of the Goldman Sachs incorporation chart. A transit of Saturn square the natal Sun of a company chart may point to criticism to those in authority, which Greg Smith certainly offered.

But, as pointed out last April in an article posted right here  when Goldman Sachs was sued, the progressed chart has a long term Saturn square to the Earth/Moon that makes ambition for material gain to the exclusion of all else the focal point of the company. Without principles a company cannot succeed and no matter how much money employees make, they will eventually bite the hand that feeds them if that company is unscrupulous and callous to the needs of the clients.

Greg Smith may have burned his bridges on Wall Street, (one comment from another executive said that Greg Smith may need to enter the witness protection program) but he brought home exactly what astrology tells us.

Zenyatta has a Foal!

Posted on by

2010′s Horse of the Year and winner of 19 consecutive races in a 20-race career is the proud mother of a male foal born on March 8, 2012 at 10:10 pm in Kentucky.

We rarely get birth times for horses, especially race horses since their official birthday for racing purposes is always January 1.

This young colt was born just after the peak of a Full Moon and even without the birth time it can be seen that his chart has a lucky Grand Trine of Mars, Jupiter and Pluto in his chart. That he will be a charmer and the subject of much adoration is from the public is evident with the Sun parallel Chiron in his chart.

The popular Zenyatta was born April 1, 2004 and earned over seven million dollars and set many records during her racing career. She made racing history by beating an all-male field in the Breeders’ Cup Classic in 2009, becoming the first mare ever to win that race and the first horse EVER to win two different Breeders’ Cup races. She competed long after most race horses have retired, so this is her first foal. The proud “dad” (or “sire” in racetrack language) is Bernardini, named the Champion 3-year-old colt of 2006 when he won the Preakness Stakes, the last leg of the Triple Crown.

Here is the little guy’s birth chart for all my horse happy friends.

Visit Zenyatta’s official website where you will find the name of the little fellow when he receives his official name.

 

Best Wishes!
