With US unemployment rising and the Obama Admin locking horns with the Republicans over the national debt with talk of a possible and unheard of US debt default the July Cancer Eclipse effect is clearly biting. There certainly look to be ripples of real unease and confusion on the USA, Obama Admin and Timothy Geithner’s charts come August. The USA chart has a financial bubble-bursting tr Neptune conjunct Solar Arc Jupiter then. Plus the approaching rather scary and very trapped Solar Arc Pluto square Mars falling exact in Oct but usually stronger in advance. It normally accompanies a complete deadlock which is frustrating, trapped, risky. It could be a physical disaster of sorts or indeed running off the edge of the precipice because of Rep intransigence. Plus of course the discouraging, facing a cold reality tr Saturn square Sun in later August. The Obama Admin chart has tr Neptune square that 7th house Scorpio Moon in August which is anyway natally square Neptune – which never felt that decisive in the first place and looks fairly floored at that point. There are great pressures late Aug to early Oct and a complete upheaval/turnaround come Oct from tr Uranus square the Admin Pluto. Obama’s own chart has tr Neptune square the Midheaven (birth time being accurate) and that runs Sept to Jan 2012 which suggests a lack of direction career-wise, undermined by events and not putting up a pro-active stance. The US Federal Reserve Bank chart is facing real difficulties come Oct to mid Nov as tr Uranus makes a disruptive square to their formidably unyielding Saturn Pluto in Cancer. So something will have to shift. Timothy Geithner is muddled thro’ August with tr Neptune opposition his Mercury and at the same time tr Saturn is in a sobering and jolting conjunction to his Solar Arc Sun and SArc Uranus.
