Chiron (the planetoid which deals with self-care) continues to conjoin

Neptune (the planet of spirituality and illusions/misperceptions). The

Chiron/ Neptune conjunction will continue until March 2012. There

are a lot of economic difficulties we are dealing with, and because of

the Chiron /Neptune influence anything we do will be flawed because

we do not and will not fully understand the extent of the problems

and how to deal with them. Under this influence there is big potential

that we will make very bad decisions because we will not understand

how detrimental these decisions are to our well being until it is too

late. It is interesting that we saw a lot of chaos associated with the

financial institutions (Lehman Brothers going into bankruptcy and

Merrill Lynch is being bought by Bank of America), and other sectors

of the economy (the auto industry). Bailout packages were passed by

Congress to help the financial institutions, the Big Three Automobile

Manufacturers, and a massive economic stimulus package was also

passed through Congress. Also, there was the “Cash for Clunkers”

program that benefited the foreign manufacturers more that the US

manufacturers, and now that the program is over the automotive

sales have plummeted. Because of the Neptune influence people are

reacting out of fear instead of evaluating the situation to determine

exactly what really needs to be done. We were under a Jupiter

influence when these programs were implemented with helped us to

feel a great deal of optimism that this is what we needed to do;

however, in the end all these massive bailout and stimulus packages

will end up pushing us into a deeper recession/depression, and it will

last longer than it could have if we were more prudent. Another

example of this is that right now we are hearing that the economy is

coming back; however, the unemployment rate is higher than is been

in a long time.
