Eurozone pulling USA down

The Eurozone crisis continues to escalate with Italy’s ratings now down even further, putting pressure on their banks; France and Belgium having to prop up the failing Dexia bank; and Greece facing an EU loan delay since they missed targets and now at a halt with another one day general strike. The tremors are being felt in the USA with transiting Uranus rapidly approaching the square to the Federal Reserve Bank Saturn Pluto by next week.

This is running over old ground again but just for a catch up. The EU 31 Dec 1957 chart now has tr Saturn into the low profile first quadrant for several years ahead and heading for the really-short-of-cash 2^{nd house by late this year which is also when tr Saturn is conjunct their Jupiter, another sign of cash cutbacks. Tr Neptune trines the Midheaven for the final time next Jan/Feb – so this is generally a phase of disappointment and drift. There’s a financially frozen Solar Arc Saturn conjunct the EU Venus late 2012 and a car-crash Solar Arc Sun square Mars in early 2013 which is when tr Pluto and tr Uranus both start to batter the EU Capricorn Sun.}

The European Central Bank (ECB) 1 June 1998 chart is likewise in a major Neptunian swamp with tr Neptune square Mercury and sextile Saturn into early 2012, followed by worse as tr Neptune is sextile Venus and aiming for the failure-ridden square to Mars by 2013. Tr Uranus is also jolting and jangling its way in trine to Pluto and sextile Mercury Mars through 2011/12/13. With a high tension, very stuck and jangled Solar Arc Saturn square Uranus in 2012.

The two Euro charts – 1 Jan 1999 and 1 Jan 2002 – both have 10 degree Capricorn Suns like the EU since are facing their most difficult time in 2013. The 1999 currency chart has a seriously blocked and aggravating tr Saturn conjunct Mars at the moment; an undermining tr Neptune trine Solar Arc Mars in 2012 plus a jolting Solar Arc Saturn square Uranus plus a dreary, deprived-hard-times tr Pluto trine Saturn in 2012/12.

Nothing that looks remotely good, indeed will get a good deal worse in the next two years.
