Plutonic-Uranian and Mystic Talk About The Economy

So the Plutonic-Uranian Career Advisor and I have been emailing about the economy. I was going to do a post on the Grexit & all but actually, these emails say it all and the PUCA has a view (from his eyrie in Manhattan corporate beauty industry HQ central) worth sharing also.

Mystic:

Hey you don’t think we will get a Grexit do you? And how do you feel about A Plutonic Uranian Guide To The Economy

Or not

AND I feel that Saturn square Neptune in Nov has ALL the hallmarks of a bubble bursting. Sagittarius is the prick to the Neptune in Pisces bubble.

Here in australia we have an insane bubble. Like ludicrously priced houses – shoeboxes beside a railway line going in excess of 1.1. Million…

People whose only financial achievement is to get themselves so massively in debt they are able to claim their weekly losses off tex consider themselves financial geniuses.

The Chinese Stock exchange seems to be on acid.

I had dinner with a sapphire miner last night who says exchanging bit coin for gemstones is ALL the rage right now. Also that mining companies accustomed to the glut of incoming money from the Chinese buying their ore – all gone now as they stopped building ghost cities over there – are trying to reinvent themselves as tech companies to maintain the $$$, selling vapourware. Apps that could not, will never work etc.

What do you think? X

Dear Mystic,

China is one big trip, an amoeba that the rest of the world keeps feeding. Hot money is surging in and out as columns of liquid in search of vitality/turnover/yield, but with little to be found, we see misallocation as the rapidly solidifying tendrils latch on to just about anything that moves.

Life goes one way.

The world has never seen the likes of this. The snapback will be epic. I believe in Humanity. Solutions will be found.

I like to read about your wildly diverse connections and I think others like it too.

It could indeed be Saturn that does it in November yes, however preceded by Jupiter opposing Neptune in September (the “big blow-off top”; Bang, then Bust). Venus and Mars will be awkward-ing through the Virgo nabe around then as well, and I see North Node beaming through 0 Libra – so, South Node on the 0 Aries Cardinal Inflection Point. That’s a shake-up of the collective Comfort Zone. All fans of the Bat-Winged and the Horse-Hung must know that Lilith (in Libra) and Chiron (in Virgo) are in that mix as well.

Mystic:

So Plutonic Uranian, what is the New Safe Haven for investors, for PEOPLE, for positioning, to be beyond resilient, to be Anti Fragile even? Does ANY government have a clue? How will this affect the sale of cosmetics (Plutonic Uranus is the financial controller for global beauty firm) – don’t they say sales of lipstick go up in recessionary times? Or is that outdated? Did you not once tell me that the bottom end of the market would thrive (budget) and so would luxury (quality, endurance) but the the masstige market – faux luxury, petro chemical crap masquerading as prestige but in fact mass market – would be dead? I had breakfast with an Aries trend forecaster and he said Paganism/Pantheism is going to be huge. That could be UrANUS IN TAURUS!!!!! An extension of environmental concerns – remember that pantheists believe the world IS a divine deity.

Plutonic Uranian Career Advisor:

Dear Mystic,

“Safe haven” in the modern parlance is an illusion (although any career that feeds any of the 7 Deadly Sins has a very good chance of seeing you through, so, yes to lipstick). Truly, in and of themselves, investments can’t be truly termed “safe”, not ever. In the alarming case of yet-another-incarcerated-genius Navinder Singh Sarao, you’re not even safe in your Mom’s basement pulling down millions of dollars from what you thought was legal play.

Still, Jamie Dimon, Warren Buffet, George Soros, et. al. live on borrowed time. Weekly blood transfusions from poor young pretty boys will not change this fact. Freezing your head in nitrogen will not change this fact. Insinuating yourself into every industry on the face of the Earth will not change this fact. Minus’ing out the “you die now, go bye bye” gene and inserting slug sperm immortality effusia will not change this fact. Your existence ends at arm’s length.

What is often considered “safe” (such as rent-yielding equity parked in mixed-use real estate in a stable market) is normally a giant egg that you must sit on that you may not live to see cracked. The riskier stuff – shares of stock, for example – leaves a trail of bodies, as a rule. The “best” traders spend most of their time one decision away from The Abyss, sometimes literally. This is why many seek comfort in the dissipation of their livers, their kidneys, or their libidos. Emotional pollution. It is very important that I envy no one. I’ve known a Wall St. trader or two quite closely and they fly close to the flame as a rule. If they do not sacrifice themselves to the all-consuming energy requirement of their pride, vanity, or ambitions, they sacrifice the relationships to their wives, children, friends, or parents. These are chemical bonds that they crack open in order to make their karmic margin calls, often mistaken as some materially-driven event. Or, they simply trade love for numbers. It is very important that I judge no one. Regardless of my moral framing, I have no doubt that the ones that “make it” are extraordinarily well-connected.

Now, one thing that I highly value is a relationship. Relationships are the essence of trade, the underlying logic of civilization in its fruition. If you try to understand how you relate to others, you will have a deeper pragmatism regarding what you may provide to them (and what they can do for you). You are not able to fully comprehend or predict another, but in seeking to understand another, you leave the door open for mutual opportunity. This is the essence of trade, which is a bond of mutual possession. You seek stability in mutual advantage. My friend, Venus will rule Wealth always, of course, and Venus finds its safe haven through the assurances of others and only through the assurances of others.

There is a long and formal process in building a stable relationship. Any human experiencing even the shadow of the love of another instinctively knows every step of that process. A kiss is packed with light.

Lately I’ve picked up Al Biruni, an astrologer of antiquity. Of course, knowing that I have latent skill in military assassinations but should avoid deserts, wild baboons, Babylon, canteloupes, and magnesium is always handy. Seriously though, he associated Taurus (ruled by Venus) to Earth, thus Wealth and material fortune, specifically to “pastures lying fallow or as grazing land”. There is the implication of needing others to till and sow and harvest, or husband the animals that graze, or sub-let. You must lend others those parts of you which you could not use yourself.

Mystic:

Okay so what about GREECE?

I have always been thinking Zap Zone this and Zap Zone that but what if Uranus square Pluto merely gave us a more modernised from of revolution – you know, like when terrorists have p.r agents and all – but the real deal with the economy is our friend Saturn. Think about it PUCA – Jupiter square Saturn at the end of July – a historic cycle that began in 2000, arguably the start of the financialization of everything, juiced up assets, decline of saving, stock market un mooring from real value, derivatives (Warren Buffets weapons of mass destruction) and is now culminating.

One could argue that Jupiter IS “irrational exuberance” and a “faith based market” and now Saturn is saying forget it – you cannot ignore the fundamentals. The economy has been trying to get its teeth laser whitened when it needed a root canal. A spray tan when surgery was required. And so if the Jupiter Saturn square at the end of July is not enough to bring about the over due return to earth – surely Saturn square Neptune is like a prick to a bubble?

Plutonic-Uranian Career Advisor:

Greece is a another square on the chess board in the electronic wars (Uranus in Aries) of the financial elite (Pluto in Capricorn), just like Cyprus and Ukraine. I’ve followed your Zap Zone coverage since day 1, it’s been an epic ride. It won’t end for a while. Neptune in Pisces will be surging contagion, which was forestalled back in ’08 when Neptune was in Aquarius, with Uranus in Pisces offering a containment field. Now, Uranus is too busy beheading rival currencies in the electronic markets. Neptune will dominate with oceanic might. Jupiter square Saturn is the peak-to-trough shock wave. Saturn will be flooded by Neptune. Damn this is too exciting.
