Warren Buffett,
The Richest Man in the World
NewsScope for October 6, 2008. In 2008 Warren Buffett replaced Bill Gates at the top of the Forbes 400 wealthiest people list. While most of America went into panic mode over the Wall Street meltdown, Buffett invested $3 billion in General Electric and $5 billion in Goldman Sachs. "You want to be greedy when others
Hedge Fund Investors - Hidden and Dangerous
NewsScope; October 13, 2008. President Bush said last week that "In an interconnected world, no nation will gain by driving down the fortunes of another." Of course, had he realized this a little earlier (or had the Democrat-controlled Congress), we may have avoided the credit crisis. Under his watch, American hedge fund investors – using complex financial tools (OTC derivatives) – over-leveraged the world's capital assets in what has been called the most significant regulation failure in history.
In the U.S. Scorpio Rising horoscope, Mars has progressed from its natal position in the eighth house of capitalism into the twelfth house of secret or hidden activity. Mars progressed into this shadowy
Neel Kashkari, Financial Stability Czar
NewsScope; October 20, 2008. Although he's not likely to hold the position after W. leaves office in January, Neel Kashkari was appointed by Treasury Secretary Paulson to head up the new Office of Financial Stability, where he'll oversee the strategic distribution of the $700 billion bailout fund. Critics point out his inexperience and youth, and that he's from Goldman Sachs – like so many of Paulson's appointees.
NewsScope correspondent and data sleuth Romy Ransom tracked down Kashkari's birth time (July 30, 1973; 11:06 pm; Stow, OH), so astrologers can form their own opinions. With his Sun and Moon in Leo, Kashkari
Wall Street's Turning Points: Celestial Roadmap to Market Timing
NewsScope; October 20, 2008. A NewsScope reader came across an old newspaper from October 1987, and noticed how similar the headlines were to today's news. "It had all the doom and gloom of the current stock market activity. Is there any correlation to what's going on with the U.S. Venus at that time?" she asks. The simple answer is "No", but there are similar astrological patterns.
The Crash of 1987 took place on October 19 when transiting Pluto was conjunct the U.S. Scorpio Ascendant and transiting Neptune in the second house of money opposed the U.S. Jupiter. The taskmaster Saturn was also in the U.S. second house where it formed a precise quincunx to the U.S. progressed Jupiter (orb 0º00'). From these transits, one gets the impression of a financial bubble suddenly deflating, which was exactly what happened.
The Social Paradigms of Jupiter in Aquarius
NewsScope; October 27, 2008. Uranus – The Great Awakener – is shattering our models of reality, as represented by Saturn. Case in point: Alan Greenspan made a remarkable admission last week while being grilled by a Congressional committee. Greenspan said he's greatly distressed because he found a flaw in his ideology – the risk-management paradigm that he had used so successfully for 40 years, and that he's in a state of "shocked disbelief".

The Credit Crunch Chronicles
This diagram is a section from a triwheel, which features the U.S. horoscope on the inside wheel. The middle wheel is the U.S. progressed chart to October 10, 2008, and the outer wheel is the transits for that date. Mercury, Venus, and Mars (circled in green) formed a triple conjunction on the U.S. progressed Mars on September 15, when

Wall Street.
Buffett was born with his Sun in analytical Virgo (August 30, 1930; Omaha, Nebraska; time unknown). According to Forbes, there are more Virgo billionaires than any other Sun sign, perhaps due to their hardworking, perfectionist natures. Buffett's Sun is given an intuitive advantage by its conjunction with visionary Neptune, and the business-oriented, practical Virgo qualities are underscored by a close trine to Saturn in earthy Capricorn.
Many of Buffett's natal planets are in close aspect to planets in the U.S. horoscope. Chief among these is his Jupiter at 13º Cancer, which is exactly conjunct the U.S. Sun. This Jupiter squares Uranus at 14º Aries, which in turn is precisely opposite the U.S. Saturn. If we think of the U.S. Sun-Saturn square as America's leadership and institutional framework, Buffett's Jupiter-Uranus square becomes a progressive, innovative push to the American system.
Buffett's Mars in early Cancer is conjunct the U.S. Venus, which describes his driving interest in American monetary policies. With Buffett's Mars squaring his Mercury, he has developed an ability to communicate complex financial matters in vivid, simple terms. Over the next few months, as transiting Pluto aligns with the U.S. Venus and Buffett's Mars, we may expect that he will assume a larger role in shaping America's economic make-over.
are fearful, and you want to be fearful when others are greedy," he explained.
Buffett's philanthropic actions have previously corresponded to the beginning of a bull market.

realm can be directly correlated to the overly aggressive hedge fund investors who have discreetly risked American capital assets (notably, pooled mortgages) without government oversight or regulation.
Any activation of this progressed Mars leads to major developments in the financial markets. The most recent example took place last week when the transiting Sun was conjunct progressed Mars, bringing the worst plunge in Wall Street history. While the Sun is conjunct this point every year, at the moment transiting Uranus is quincunx progressed Mars, thereby sensitizing this extremely volatile combination to the slightest planetary influence.
The next major activation of the U.S. progressed Mars arrives on November 12, when transiting Jupiter in Capricorn squares this position. This will probably coincide with major bankruptcies, the first tranche from the $700 bailout bill, and another huge move in global financial markets. The most extreme moves in unpredictable directions will likely be within days of when Uranus turns direct on November 26 while only 0º03' from its exact link to the U.S. progressed Mars.

naturally prefers to look at the big picture. Since he has an Aries Ascendant and Mars strongly placed in Aries, one might suspect that he's all ego, but the Sun opposite Jupiter in Aquarius makes him a team player.
With Mars opposite Uranus, Kashkari enjoys being on the cutting edge. He's a natural pioneer, especially in technology – as is his background in NASA and his experience building solar cars will attest. Kashkari was born during a unique outer planet configuration (involving Jupiter, Saturn, Neptune and Pluto) that shaped the geopolitical atmosphere throughout 1973. That watershed year brought the entire restructuring of the global economy when OPEC quadrupled the price of oil.
While everyone born in 1973 carries this planetary signature, it's especially strong in Kashkari's chart since Saturn and Pluto are angular. This combination has been referred to as a "crisis of authority", and in 1973 corresponded to the beginning of Watergate. Currently, transiting Pluto is nearing Kashkari's Midheaven as it activates his natal Saturn-Pluto square, giving him the political power to re-shape, re-structure, and transform the American economy.
Dot Com Crash (2000 to 2002)
During the dot-com crash, the NASDAQ lost nearly 80 percent of its value between the top on March 9, 2000 and the bottom on October 9, 2002. The key transits that marked the bottom were transiting Uranus conjunct the U.S. Moon (orb 0º17') and transiting Neptune square the Scorpio Ascendant (orb 0º22'). As in the 1987 trough, outer planets were also making close aspects to each other to signify the trend reversal.
The peaks and troughs of the U.S. stock market all correspond to outer planet aspects combined with major hits to the U.S. Scorpio Rising horoscope. The biggest crashes have several simultaneous, precise indicators.
Two weeks ago, when the Dow plunged a record 1900 points, transiting Chiron was right on the U.S. nadir (orb 0º00'). Mid to late November (with Jupiter and Saturn trine, and Uranus turning direct) looks like a bottoming point.
Reverently referred to as the "Oracle of Wall Street", Greenspan (March 6, 1926; New York , NY; time unknown) has his Sun in visionary Pisces empowered by a trine to Pluto and a sextile to Mars in ambitious Capricorn. Jupiter in Aquarius reflects his interest in social models, and with its close aspects to Pluto and Venus, his focus on vast sums of money.
Albert Einstein (March 14, 1879; 11:30 am; Ulm, Germany) shares many of Greenspan's natal dynamics, including a Pisces Sun supported by close aspects to Mars and Pluto, and Jupiter in humanitarian Aquarius. In each case, the personal vision eventually transformed the geopolitical, scientific paradigms of the day. While much of Einstein's
paradigm remains intact, the transiting Saturn-Uranus polarity to Greenspan's Sun has revealed a flaw in his paradigm.
Barack Obama, with his Sun square visionary Neptune and Jupiter in Aquarius, has this same capacity to replace the old paradigms with his personal vision. Now that his election seems inevitable, and global capital is finding a safe harbor in U.S. Treasury notes, the world awaits his paradigm. The plan begins on Inauguration Day during a Sun-Jupiter conjunction in Aquarius.
