Inflationary Jupiter-Neptune: All Bubbles Must Burst
by Jude Cowell
Back in July 2015, we discussed the activation of the New York Stock Exchange May 11, 1869 Reorganization Horoscope's YOD, a crisis-laden planetary pattern which includes a timing element based on the apex planet or planets when conditions reach a crossroads and the time has come to take action. And naturally, the NYSE's 1792 Buttonwood Horoscope has been previously featured in a SO'W post as well. In fact, the 1792 chart of that first handshake shows the Jupiter-Neptune Conjunction of speculation, get-rich-quick schemes, and grand promises, with both planets retrograde in 4th house: Jupiter Rx @22Lib57 and Neptune Rx @27Lib42. My view has always been that the Wall Street Casino was a bubbly affair in 1792 and has remained so through the years until this very today. But you do you.
Meanwhile, CNN is reporting that stocks are mixed if you want to check it out. Things have certainly been up and down all through 2022 what with Covid shutdowns, ill employees, supply chain issues, oil prices squirrely (thanks to global conditions such as Saudi Arabia closing spigots and refusing to deal with President Biden), and the purposeful inflation of prices thanks to greedy corporations exploiting the situation at the public's expense. And you can probably think of other causes, even without blaming a politician or a foreign dictator.
Then if we consider the April 12, 2022 Jupiter-Neptune Conjunction @23Pis59 - shady, secretive Pisces, ruled by Jupiter and co-ruled by higher octave planet Neptune with its links to oil and gas, and fraud, we find a curious cosmic time link of a sort. Because the Jupiter-Neptune Conjunction of April 2022 lands directly upon the Midheaven ('MC': the Goal Point) of the 1792 Buttonwood Horoscope. Significant? To me it seems to be, considering the market volatility of 2022, although you may, of course, disagree, dear reader.
Political and Legal Conflicts: Jupiter-Neptune
Well, here are potentials of the midpoint picture that the 1792-to-2022 time link forms:
Jupiter-Neptune = MC: 'fortune hunters, visionaries, squanderers, spendthrifts, philanthropists; harm or damage through thoughtlessness' (R. Ebertin). However, finance isn't the only realm of life affected by the Jupiter-Neptune cycle of approximately 13 years. From Michael Munkasey comes this: "The role of politics as a means of gaining in stature or standing in life," with stature and standing relating to the most visible point of any horoscope, the Midheaven. Add to this, 'hypocrisy as a form of internal politics; scandals about growth, values, or belief systems; a legal system based on favors and pay-offs; and/or foolish or unfounded legal situations'. This sounds like the way our society has been trending the last decades which I must time by the beginning of the Reagan administration.
Now we should also consider the Sabian Symbol of the rounded-up degree of the April 12th Conjunction: '24Pisces' = "An Inhabited Island"; "Keyword: CULTIVATION; positive expression: achievement through a creative opportunism or inventiveness of exceptional order; negative expression: snobbish complacency and self-indulgence" (Jones).
Hmm. Wonder if Wall Street gentry are 'snobs' and if the 'inhabited island' could be Manhattan, home of the New York Stock Exchange?
