As you've heard, the Fed and the Bush administration announced Sunday the much-talked-about seizure of mortgage titans Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac and the freezing of their portfolios. There'll be no more lobbying allowed for this lobbying king and queen.
And as you know, the Great Conjunction of Jupiter and Neptune occurs all through 2009 which is as good a description as any of the financial risk-taking and meltdown which the next president will be dealing with beginning with his first year in office.

Now for the Sabian Symbol for Jupiter's Direct Station degree, '13Capricorn' from Lynda Hill:
"A Fire Worshipper Meditates On The Ultimate Realities Of Existence."
Lynda says this Symbol is about being very focused, with a great passion for getting to the core or to the truth; and about new beginnings. It concerns turning inward and closely examining the situation - plus, danger and staring into the flames.
~ Sounds like accounting examinations, doesn't it? And what is said could have happened if this nationalizing bail-out had not occurred.
Plus, Fannie and Freddie's books apparently have irregularities. Umm-hmm...some of that fuzzy math, is it? ~
Lynda gives interesting Cautions for this degree - here are two of them:
overestimation of personal power and abilities and not seeing the forest for the trees.
Now for Adriano Carelli's Symbol for '13Cap'...but I warn you - it may not be altogether comforting:
"A Tartarian archer drawing an incendiary arrow"...
A thirst for absolute power; a tireless and sleepless activity; a tendency to burn one's bridges behind oneself.
An heroic courage, which is never an end in itself, as all energies are subordinate to the aim in sight. Such a character is ready to go to any lengths in order to secure his aim.
He will draw the line at no extremities, never withdraw before personal danger, even impassively watch bloodshed; refraining, however, from flinging himself into useless risks...he has a keen sense of honor, but is driven and burned by an even keener thirst for superhuman honors....the native seems born to destroy rather than to build.
If a diplomat, he will serve his own thirst for power rather than his own country; if a chief, he will love the people as the rider loves his horse.
The full measure of success will crown such an ambition provided the native knows where to stop."
Carelli notes that this is Pluto's degree in Napoleon's chart.
Well,'13Cap' is opposite US natal Sun so we may begin to feel and experience some monetary relief as Jupiter widens the orb of this restrictive transit.
Today world and US markets reacted positively to the Fannie-Freddie bail-out, so we'll see how things transpire as rich man/banker Jupiter continues forward upon his merry way through the rest of Capricorn, a sign which is an entire labyrinth unto itself!
