Pluto's Shot Across the Bow

Editor's Note: I just got a hopeful chill to hear that the House voted down the 700 Billion dollar bailout today. The commentary below on today's news is from Eileen Grimes, Plutonian detective and author of Titanic Astrology.

It's Pluto's shot across the bow in Capricorn. And Pluto’s last gasping in Sag. As we now know, the house of reps has rejected the economic bailout bill that would have rescued the US of America. Now what? What we’ve got here is a massive failure, and as Pluto moves fully into Capricorn, we’re now seeing what the issues are going to be during Pluto’s time in Cap. It's not now just the mortgage market - its how that overextention has placed this country in severe financial peril.

This does appear to be the beginning of the end for the US Government’s way of spending money. It appears that the element of accountability now falls on the US’s shoulder to buck up and handle the problems its gotten itself into, without any rescue from our internal governmental structures.

Here we have a very scary scenario to most people: however, I will say this - this system is now antiquated and NEEDS TO FAIL. The stand that our House of Reps has taken has sent a very clear message, and that is that the President isn’t being given carte blanche this time - we have to own what we’ve created in our financial markets, and how we deal with money in this country.

But it also signals that the structure is losing strength.

The failure of Washington Mutual (from my own area, by the way), is the shot across the bow, and the ripple effect is now being felt around the world. When we’re operating as a full world order, other areas in the world are affected by the way the US does business. This perhaps must change too, because independence from each other is healthy and although maybe the rest of the world is falling apart, our own little part of the world remains secure and safe.

During Pluto’s moving through the sign of Cancer (the opposite to Capricorn), the prime directive was finding security and safety within the family confines. Here now, we have the opposing point - perhaps what we accomplished during that time, before WWII, is now needing some review and how we define security is changing.

I’m not a doomsayer, but this situation will likely get more intense before we regroup and start to rebuild. Remember that life is a process, and this is the next bunch of issues that need to be dealt with.
