Astrology of Now: How Are You Being Robbed?

"Why you're nothing but a pack of cards."
Alice solves the banking crisis

"It would be so nice if something made sense for a change." - Alice in Wonderland. 

One day, many years down the line, we'll know what to label the upheaval we're living through right now. It all began, of course, with the banking crisis back in 2008 when the planet of drains, Pluto, went into the sector of corporations. Was there a loud sucking sound as all our money just sort of vanished in a debt-hole?

We've been lurching along ever since, trying to stay upright and even make curtsies as we whizz down Alice's rabbit hole. You probably know that 2012 is the year we may actually reach Wonderland (aka rock bottom, crunch time, you name it), so we have to stay upright for a whole year more if we want to land on our feet.

The banks still haven't been transformed; banking still hasn't been fixed. They are still robbing us. Until reform happens, we'll just have one implosion, explosion, meltdown after another. Pluto demands reform of this sector. The world has until 2017 to get it right.

Over the next few days Venus, the planet of money, will oppose Pluto. Venus in Cancer (among other things) is associated with personal savings, family money. This is your money.

Each of us (and each country) will have these planets at a different point in the chart, nevertheless the fundamental story affects all of us. The questions about money are pretty fundamental this summer. Will the euro exist next year? Can we trust the banks? Is the dollar a hard currency any more? How little does your cash buy?

Ask yourself these questions now how is my money draining away? Inflation? Taxes? Debt? Extravagance? And how can I hang on to more of it? Under the mattress? In the bank?

This opposition will focus attention on how public policy, big corporations and financial institutions are getting hold of your cash. How are you being robbed?
