  Several posts on this site, especially since June 2015, have noted the economic situation facing China.

In one June 2015 report here, this exact issue of commodities freefall was forewarned:

This does not mean the damage will be contained within the 4 month period of 2015. And it does not only refer to an isolated effect restricted to China, but China is significant to the world.
The commodities shock then flows into a 3 year period of inhibited growth [ in terms of produce, production, expansion, development]
After that the real austerity energies are laid in place during a 3 year period until December 2020

1924-1932 has many cycles in common with 2012-2020
Boom preceded bust in the US housing market of the 1920's.
Florida investments started to get bad press by January 1925. By 1926 the bust was clear. 
The downturn energies in play affecting material asset investments like land and real estate kicked in in late 1924 and remained strong until December 1926. 
Then the cycle of inhibited growth began, lasting 3 years, extending just past the big market crash of October 1929.
From December 1929 the austerity energies were embedded - during a period of almost 3 years.
 

In terms of another longer global cycle, in July 2015 we are at the equivalent energy point to April 1932 even though a great global economic depression is yet to unfold.
The period April 1935 to April 1942 has an energy equivalent to
April 2019 to April 2026.
1935 saw bank closures in the US, the dropping of the gold standard, economic depression was obvious. People were forced to changed their relationship with money and materialist values.
This timeline shows the US economy had widespread impact on citizens through the 1930s, only lifting with the US late entry into WW2 and the war economy uplift beginning in 1942.

A longer cycle having a powerfully transformational effect on peoples families and their homes and housing covered the period 1914-1939.
An equivalent energy exists in the period 2008-2025.

In a very globalized world environment in this millennium, the cycles of this era will contain many reflections of the early decades of the 20th century, in many diverse locations -not just China- but will not unfold exactly in the same sequence or with exactly the same outcomes.
What is clear is that globalization does have a relationship to contagion in market forces.
Climate effects are also of great significance with regard to economies: China is very vulnerable to extremes of flooding and drought as noted by authors of the study THE 1920S DROUGHT RECORDED BY TREE RINGS AND HISTORICAL DOCUMENTS IN THE SEMI-ARID AND ARID AREAS
OF NORTHERN CHINA:
"we show that there had been significant growth decline in the 1920s and early 1930s throughout a wide area of northern China. This growth depression is indicative of a severe and sustained drought in the 1920s and early 1930s.
This period coincides with the inhibited growth period noted earlier for the 1920's and so a largely agricultural effect is known to have occurred then.
Sustained drought, crop failures led to disease and widespread famine in 1927-29:

Swarms of locusts added to further losses and misery. Epidemics of disease rampaged uncontrolled. The proverbial perfect storm.
El Nino conditions in 2015 are already pointing to heat and drought with Northern China low on drinking water.

El Nino events relevant to the above study occurred in the periods 1925-1926, 1930-31, 1932-1933, 1939-1940, 1940-1941, 1941-1942.
The strongest event in recent decades was the 1997-98 El Nino.
Weak El Ninos occurred 2004-2007, Moderate in 2009-10.
The return of El Nino for 2015-2016 is potentially strong to very strong & if a run of El Nino years occurs as in 1930-1933 or 1939-1942 then the flow-on economic effect will also be sustained.

The Consequences
The scale of impact gives rise to considerations of an economic meltdown impacting the world -but which originates in China -not in the West as many expect. 
Global effects are now the consequence of globalisation & the expanded footprint China has in multiple countries

Astrological indicators in detail

Planetary positions & aspect grid for Nov 7 1931 China Soviet regime

Referencing the China Soviet chart dated Nov 7 1931: I believe the austerity, famine, drought, large scale transformational energy of this chart* was activated during the Great China Famine 1958-1961 - and because of repeating patterns, that adverse economic & environmental conditions will be activated again in the period starting in the middle of 2015, further strengthening from March 2016, noticeably as 2017 begins, throughout 2017, sustained through 2018, 2019

*[Saturn 18 Capricorn opposite Pluto 22 Cancer both square Uranus 16 Aries. All aspecting Jupiter 21 Leo. 19 degrees is a critical activating midpoint ] 

This era though does differ from 57-60 years ago due to a different economic base. This is no protection from the adverse energies. Impacts upon growth & production have relevance across all sectors from land-based productivity, to goods & services based and commodities & therefore the whole economy.

The Timing: 
late May 2015  Uranus reached 19 Aries -a trigger of change in the economic balance. 
Jupiter in China Soviet chart is 20’58 Leo 
Jupiter at end of June 2015 was 21 Leo

Jupiter’s link to the Saturn-Pluto-Uranus trio in the Soviet chart identifies the potentials for swing from feast to famine.

Nodal axis in China Soviet chart is 4’58 Aries-Libra.

Nodal axis at start of July 2015 is 5 Libra-Aries

The nodal axis is a significant societal indicator and Libra is the scales needing to be balanced

The Energy Re-visited:
The process begins from 2015 with Uranus, Pluto and Saturn all activating the 16-22 degrees of the cardinal signs Aries and Capricorn
The spectre of drought or crop failure-related food shortages and severe reductions in general production is revisited with Saturn passing through the growth and production sign Sagittarius in the period 2015-2017 then austerity related effects with Saturn in Capricorn 2017-2020.
This era though does differ from 57-60 years ago due to a different economic base. 
This is no protection from the adverse energies. Growth & production impacts have relevance across all sectors from land-based, to company based & therefore the whole economy.
 
The Deeper Meaning:
Activations of the cardinal signs Aries, Libra, Cancer, Capricorn signify gross imbalances come to light and must be corrected.
Humanity faces the agenda preprogrammed by natural and collective forces

Transformations:With Sun-Mercury-Venus in Scorpio in the China-Soviet chart, transformational periods are very natural in the course of China's modern history.

2016 Updates
After a dramatic market slump in China mid 2015, considerable government intervention was put in place to try to staunch the bleeding.
The massive loss of capital overseas has also led to Chinese restrictions on the outflow in the latter part of 2015 into early 2016.
Market turmoil resumed globally at the New Year -even before the economically shaky Year of the Monkey was ushered in.
No stability has been witnessed in the first 5 weeks of 2016. Volatility is the name of the game and the next period of deepening threat arises in March 2016 when multiple factors could spell trouble.
2016 has the same eclipse positions as in 1997 when the last Asian economic crisis occurred.
Both 1997 and 2016 have a total solar eclipse on March 9 .
Events in March will be precursors to the Sept-Oct 2016 events.
In October 1997 markets dropped in the range 2%-7.7%.
Let's see what happens this time.
The Saturn to Jupiter angle of 90 degrees is indicative, in late March 2016 of constrained growth, restricted freedom, restricted movement.
Unemployment spikes, mass job layoffs, closures, travel restrictions, borders tightened. Economic implications are unavoidable under these conditions. These themes will affect all of us in some way to some degree in the March, April, May, June 2016 months leading into further restrictive situations strongly arising in September, October  

GREECE says NO - astro analysis indicators for July

 

REUTERS report

GREECE says NO - bailout conditions rejected by 61%.
Astro analysis indicators for July indicate a month of extreme events - plus extending even longer due to aggravating effects:
Issues impacting upon families, on homes and housing, on government, on finance & economics and an activation of the energies of war and peace, make this month very potent.

 The period 13-19 July surrounding the Full Moon, is critical:
Devotional patriotism is strongly stimulated.
Loss of wealth, loss of assets, restricted access to money.

By late July
The overriding theme is that cruel, austere, brutal and cold hearted urges will be in conflict with the energies of big-hearted love and generosity. Helping those in need versus abandoning those who are struggling is a relevant consideration. 

 The full July report covers various optional expressions for the prevailing energy. 
Two major indicators analysed in the July report and forewarned in the June report, suggest a very rough economic period in store for many June-July-August-Sept 2015.
This will not just be limited to the domestic situation in Greece

Update July 15

On the eve of the New Moon the Greek parliament has passed measures to introduce the austerity conditions imposed by Euro creditors. The IMF has strongly criticised the extent of these measures. Too tough? or just right?
The astrological indicators are on the side of the IMF -that the conditions are too extreme - and that an implosion is the likely outcome as opposed to a recovery. 
The very rough economic period in store for many June-July-August-Sept 2015 is calling the shots - but this period is not the end of a longterm trend...read China and World economy indicators
