The Story of Evergrande September-October 2021

Will October 2021 Sink Evergrande?

Update 2024

A long interim extended to late January 2024 when a Hong Kong court ordered that Evergrande be liquidated - January 29 2024

Founder Xu Jiayin aka Hui Ka Yan  was detained in September 2023 re "unspecified" crimes so the fate of the company he founded has soon followed his call to accountability.

In the founding year of the company 1996 Saturn at 25 Pisces and Neptune transiting 24-28 Capricorn both indicate weakness in the company structure planning and management. The nature of cycles is to generate either conditions for thriving or for failure.

In September 2023 Pluto was 28 Capricorn

In 2023 - early 2024 Saturn again returned to Pisces and Neptune came to the 24-28 range of Pisces.

Effectively Pluto ended the dream in September 2023 and Neptune in Pisces by late January 2024  brought the only possible outcome - dissolving through liquidation

The transits of Jupiter and Uranus by late January 2024 reach a synergy at 13º Taurus - pointing to big change in money/assets. As shown below this pattern evokes the founder's  birth indicator Uranus 15 Leo

An important cautionary tale that reminds us that the founder of a company is the source of the fate of the company - both the good and the bad -as revealed in the original 2021 post below

These notes follow from recent information released re a big potential outcome anticipated for October 2021 impacting global markets.

I have no association with markets finance or any related business.

I am an energy analyst identifying patterns that signify a convergence of forces in a given time frame.

As all energies are naturally in a state of potential it is a matter of making a jugement call regarding how multiple synergising forces are likely to manifest.

A mix of skills and attunement are harnessed to produce the gestalt.

Evergrande is a word that came onto my radar recently in September 2021…flickers of information not fully attended to consciously…but pressing for attention.

This word is a company name. The last Ever something to hit the news was in March 2021 in the Suez Canal when a massive container ship the Ever Given got stuck.

The first clue is in the word Ever.

This is a derivative of Forever meaning eternal always endless.

Ever is the pipe dream of a type of megalomania - human hubris challenging nature to try to stop it. But natural forces will always win.

Evergrande is a constructed word implying an aspiration to endless scale magnificence greatness -as many superlatives as could be imagined.

Company founder Xu Jiayin has infused his energetic DNA into both the name and the productivity associated with Evergrande.

Lacking access to an exact date of founding when trading as Hengda the founder’s profile serves well enough to see the current situation in September-October 2021

Born 9 October 1958 [Year of the Earth Dog] will give expert Chinese astrologers much interest as 2021 being Metal is exhausting for Earth.

The Western astrological picture is offered in comparison.

Clearly the heat is on Xu Jiayin - courtesy of multiple current energy matches to his birth template.

Several Libra placements at birth - degrees as follows:

Venus 6.   Sun 15.   Mercury 18.  NorthNode 22.

Venus-Node midpoint 14 degrees

Sun-Node midpoint 18.5 degrees.

Week 2 of October:  both Sun then Mars in transit active at 18 Libra.

Pluto at birth [3 Virgo] is angled to be active also at 18 Libra

The range 14-22 degrees likely to see some significant action [whether overt or covert] with 18 degrees especially [October week 2] doing some work but arguably strongest will be the North Node in the mix at 22 Libra having very strong activations by Sun then Jupiter then Mars all in week 3 October.

Under these conditions a “get out of jail” card is not likely to be the way Jupiter responds to the situation faced by Evergrande - as explained in later paragraphs. 

What is Libra? Relationships. Balance. Weighing up. Managing the finances."Balancing the Books"

What is the North Node? A signifier of what you are supposed to get right in this lifetime.

In summary:

The Libra positions 6-22 Libra have been activated by Venus since week 3 of August into September week 1.

By Mercury weeks 1,2,3 Sept 

By Mars week 4 Sept then Oct weeks 2,3.

By the Sun week 4 Sept, Oct week 2,3 

What else?

A major signifier related to money power ego greed [Uranus in Taurus] has been in range of 15 degrees of Xu’s birth Uranus 15 Leo since July and was most activated in week 3 of August -remaining still in range through September into October.

This signifies a powerful change of conditions regarding the inherent energy expression of those relationships.

To add to this it is worth referencing media quotes saying the company’s excessive borrowing has created “an enormous mountain of debt”.

To an astrologer the energetic matches are signified as follows:

Mountain = Saturn

Enormous = Jupiter

Debt/Financial responsibility =  Saturn.

It happens to be that we are newly into a long cycle that doesn’t like debt.

When Jupiter and Saturn made a conjunction in December 2020 - an event which has at least a 20 year imprint - they converged in the collective/community energy of Aquarius -sending a communication through the field saying rein in your excesses, control your expansion, limit your growth.

Only some have listened.

Those who have not listened are due to meet obstacles forcing their ears to hear.

For some weeks Sept-Oct 2021 Jupiter and Saturn have a midpoint in range of 15 degrees Aquarius. As noted Wu was born with Uranus at 15 Leo. 

The forces are closing in - intending to contain [Saturn] what needs to be limited [Jupiter] -these 2 planets are always - as in all natural contexts  - seeking the right balance of growth and consolidation.

As the presence of Uranus in transit hovering near 15 Taurus is automatically captured by the paired balancing forces it seems highly probable that the gates are reaching full closure on Wu’s big experience in October 2021

{Leo Aquarius Scorpio and Taurus are the big energy theme of this story: the four fixed [determined stubborn arrogant entitled] dispositions which are both the success and failure of this empire and of the key player

 - expressed in Xu’s mottoes “ Never Admit Defeat. “Stronger through Frustration” 

There is also a saying: “Pride comes before the Fall”.

And the voice of the collective is saying: “A huge Black Hole of debt”

“Fears of Contagion” “Most indebted Developer”

Clearly it was not easy for Evergrande to pay any attention to the shift in energy when the founder has a very strong impulse to expand forever.

That strong impulse comes from another pairing of 2 forces: Jupiter and Neptune which at birth hold a midpoint of 5 degrees Scorpio.

This combination does not have a balancing factor but at Wu’s birth the Scorpio energy pair at 5 degrees were connected [semisquare angle] to Saturn at 21 Sagittarius which is intended to deliver opportunities during the lifetime to recognise limits.

Jupiter and Neptune together are Big Dreams or Big Fantasies/Delusions if there is no spiritual dimension in the life to awaken the consciousness to impermanence and ignorance.

The role of Scorpio here is to utilise the dream mentality to inflate personal power and dominance.

Saturn is a moderating force when the advice given is heeded or when setbacks or obstacles are met.

Saturn in Sagittarius literally asks a person to set limits and learn lessons around excesses.

When ignored the energy is fed back to the Jupiter-Neptune oceanic expansion mentality in the form of discipline applied to try and contain the state of psychological delusion caused by Neptune being amplified by Jupiter.

Lessons of this type but of less magnitude will have arisen before in the life and empire-building of such a person.

But failure to learn the lesson is the reason the dreams have to end.

What factors signify that?

In addition to what has already been detailed -it is clear that Wu’s birth Saturn nearly 21 Sagittarius is resonant with 6 Aquarius.

Saturn in transit is especially activated in week 2 October at nearly 7 Aquarius. Saturn at birth meets Saturn in transit producing Saturn. 

The great leveller is in play.

Then to add the final flourish: Neptune in transit [21 Pisces week 2 October] is extremely close to a perfect 90 degree angle to Wu’s birth Saturn.

Neptune in full water mode here acts as the big dissolver of the Big Corporation [Saturn in Sagittarius].

If these interpretations follow the trajectory of potentials anticipated then the following scenario already outlined on Sept 21 is here republished:

The potency of Uranus holding the range 13°-15° for so many months points to the economic instability underway & further shocks.

Locked into a sequence of New Moons for several months October famously is the month of reckoning... but September at the Libra ingress & within the waning Full Moon carries some Uranian weight in week 4.

Full Moon Uranus in Taurus Sinks Cattle Transporter

 The distress call came at Full Moon on Wednesday September 2 in high seas between Japan and China. Typhoon Maysak was in full rage but the 139 metre long multi story sea transporter Livestock 1 was persevering towards its destination in China. 5867 cattle beasts had been sold and were heading for a new life after the last port of call in Napier New Zealand. The sea travel was planned for around 17 days but no one factored in a potent full moon and extreme weather factors that had been born in August 2020.

Only one survivor has to date been located and few possible remnants of a vessel he saw list sharply and then submerge after a failed engine left the ship prone to a monster storm driven wave.

The September 2 Full Moon with Sun and Moon at 10 mutable [Virgo-Pisces] joined forces with Uranus at 10 Taurus. Pisces identifies the maritime environment: a ship at sea. Taurus bears ancient archetypal symbol The Bull & all cattle species. 

Cattle are creatures of the earth, born to be standing with all four feet on the soil and consuming grass. The first error in this story is the trauma induced by placing these animals in a metal prison in a watery environment -basically an alien environment.                                 

Uranus angled to the Pisces full moon is one indicator of an expected maritime incident. The Taurus factor not only describes the cattle but also the financial value [around $4,000 dollars each] and the value society places on animal welfare is again a question to be aired. 

As usual more than one indicator is in the picture.

The lunar nodes reached 27 Gemini Sagittarius in August 2020 which is the current position of the center of our galaxy - 27 Sagittarius in astrology - and astronomically named Sagittarius A. This is where the famous Black Hole exists, pouring magnetic field streams into our space environment. Personal research over several years posted on this site continues to put the 27 mutable energy in a high alert category in terms of the step down effects activated on our planet when 27 mutable is being channeled by significant factors including eclipses, lunar nodes and planets from Jupiter outwards to Pluto.

 Even strings of monthly lunations that keep a 26-28 degree position in any sign or mode can be factored in regarding an increased potential for high potency atmospheric conditions that manifest as extreme or severe weather events -especially wind power and rain intensity - fire risk too is intensified as the consequence of resonating with galactic center energies is an all elements amplification

[More details and examples are found in the archives on this site under "extreme weather" or "galactic center" search]

The lunar nodes in August resonated at 27 Gemini Sagittarius. Everyday expression of these signs involves movement travel and transport. when Sagittarius is involved it is large scale large distance. 

By September 2 the nodes had retrograded to 26'14 Gemini & Sag and clearly close enough to fall within the effective field of Uranus at 10'34 Taurus. The potency of the hidden angles is proven time and again. 10 degrees fixed resonates with 25 degrees mutable -10'34 = 25'34 so clearly the effective engagement of these forces was at high potential on September 2 - aided by the extra field provided by the Full Moon.

Nodal events tend to have a globally significant high profile and involve a mass event. This one fully complies: 43 crew 5867 animals is a global news story.

Pressure now accumulates to halt suspend or ideally terminate a practice that has repeatedly shown to be fatal injurious or at the very least highly stressful for animals.

Stormy Ireland: the links between Ophelia & Debbie

Hurricanes Ophelia and Debbie -lashed Ireland decades apart but had specific and easily identifiable energy patterns in common

Hurricane Debbie - the 1961 event unleashed on September 16th. 

Hurricane Ophelia brought its fury on 16 October 2017

Both events share commonly found indicators of very volatile atmospheric conditions brought about by specific planetary combinations and positions.

The recent report on wild forces expected for October 2017 anticipated the sheer intensity of effects from natural forces because such patterns have been seen before and can be anticipated again in the future

The recurrent patterns 

• Eclipses precede and create the intense atmospheric conditions required.
• August 1961 had the precursor eclipses for Debbie
• August 2017 had the precursor eclipses for Ophelia
• 27 degree positions funnel Galactic Centre  forces through earth due to the current GC located at 27 degrees
• 1961 = lunar nodes+Jupiter+Uranus all at 27 degrees in September 1961
• 2017 = Jupiter+Uranus at 27 degrees exact opposition on Sept 28 extended the energy patterns of the August 21 total eclipse. Mercury +Mars+Uranus combined forces from October 14 -16 reaching a combined midpoint of 27 degrees.
• The next period Oct 19-20-21-22 then involves Sun+Mars-Uranus combining at still potent 26-28 degrees
• Jupiter and Uranus in close connection -conjunct, opposite and right angles are particularly frequent offenders in major environmental events. In 2017 this includes large scale wildfires and potent hurricanes. In early 2011 it was major quakes and the Japan tsunami. Different energies at different times give clues to the outcome. In 2011 it was Pisces water energy that brought water over land and liquefaction through soil. In 2017 it is fire-air imbalance needing correction. Imbalance is the keyword. Fire and wind out of control with this Aries-Libra positioning of Uranus and Jupiter in opposition.
• Another linked storm event for Ireland was the Feb 12 2014 Storm Darwin. Again Jupiter and Uranus were involved. Again in the effective period of a prior eclipse [especially the Oct 2013 lunar eclipse at 26 Aries.] By Feb 2014 Mars was spot on 26 Libra and the Jupiter-Uranus forces were offset at a right angle in the 10-11 degree range [these positions are in a fixed angular relationship to 25-26 degrees and often planets at 10-12 degrees will be in the mix by their activation of anything at 25-27 degrees [semisquare & sesquiquadrate angles]
• There remained a lot of energetic potency in the atmosphere in the period Feb 8-18 2014.
• Where an energy is earthed is another specialist field but generally nowhere on the planet escapes the disturbed forces when they are very intensified..severity of effects expressed depends on degrees of separation from the focal location so if Ireland is having a hurricane, the other side of the world is likely to get increased wind.

The Galactic Centre factor 

This is referenced in many blog posts on this site particularly in Extreme Weather from the Galactic Centre - a hypothesis conceived by the author in 2011 in observing the frequency of the 27 degree position being highly activated during severe environmental events including weather, seismic shifts - and human generated disturbances such as the bombing of Hiroshima & Nagasaki during WW2 - examined in this 2011 post re 27 degree activation

Jacinda & Winston or Bill & Winston

Examining the potential coalition options emanating out of the nationwide general election of 2017 the question arises as to how much inherent compatibility exists between the third party leader and the leaders of the traditional political Right and Left
The key figures as at late August are Jacinda Ardern [Labour], Bill English [National, Winston Peters [NZ First]

Energy analysis based solely on 11 energy factors* in effect on the date of birth for each participant gives a distinct picture.

Jacinda with Winston
Jacinda Ardern  born 26-7-80 and Winston born 11-4-45 are both Fire signs -an immediate capacity for bold assertive conduct. She is a Leo -sign of the heart and known for their sunshine quality and he is that most masculine of signs Aries. This fire compatibility creates a basic level of energetic comfort.
Both have the water sign Cancer in a significant role -housing and family matters are important. The capacity to care about people underlies their motivation.

Both have the earth sign Virgo trait of being hard-working.
Both are strong personalities and this could result in some standoffs, jockeying for power but Jacinda is likely to be quite diplomatic and compromising towards Winston's renegade qualities. Her soft side will be quite calming for him. She is comfortable working in partnership. His natural instinct is more stand-alone but he can respond to the benefits of co-operation.
She has the capacity to balance out his rough edges
He will respect Jacinda when she reveals her depth of focus and commitment even if her strength is a challenge to him.
Overall an 8/10 compatibility rating

Bill with Winston
Bill -born 30-12-61 is a Capricorn -an earth/practical sign and his backstory is very typical of the sign of the Goat..rising out of the lowlands of agriculture slowly, steadily into the lofty peaks of the Beehive to attain the role of Prime Minister.
You would therefore think Aries [the Ram] would get on famously with Capricorn - but the ram is the young blood in this contest [despite Winston being the Elder statesman.] Aries is forceful, pushy and impatient where Capricorn is slow, restrained and steady. These two signs are regarded as having fundamentally incompatible energies.
And where Winston is loaded with Aries energy [Sun, Mercury, Venus] Bill is loaded with Capricorn [ Sun, Mercury, Venus, Mars, Saturn] Slow and Steady. Mr Family Man. This is the No Thrills package with only one Fire quality [the ego quality that likes the fame & public acclaim re his status as PM ]
The story does not improve when other key indicators are considered.
There is no love lost between these two because they are ill at ease with the extreme differences they detect in each other, all capable of creating mutual significant distaste, frustration and dislike if placed in a forced political marriage. Caution is on one side with risk, unpredictability, spontaneity on the other. Though Bill may occasionally secretly wish he could be as loose independent, quick on his feet and unpredictable as Winston is.
These two will truly battle for control, a battle of wits.
If they choose to ignore all the obvious warning signs gleaned from years of personal observation of each other the likelihood of falling out will become even more apparent at close quarters.
Overall compatibility shockingly low ..even 2/10 may be optimistic

Let the games begin

update October 24 
On September 23 National assumed they had won an MMP election when it was patently clear that an alternate option was viable.
Negotiations proceeded from September 24 to October 19 with Winston Peters, leader of NZFirst seeing which policy alignments would work with either a National or Labour-led government. Labour already had a support agreement with the Green Party.

The full outline of how Jacinda Ardern came to take the top job is detailed in depth in a dedicated post

September 2016 Full Moon Eclipse

    further eclipse info at timeanddate.com

1. A week of tense, nit-picky, hair-splitting, impatient activity precedes the Sept 16/17 full moon lunar eclipse.

2.The eclipse itself is no less complicated - with high-energy activations amplifying eclipse potentials beyond the focal polarity of the Virgo Sun and Pisces Moon. These signs when strongly emphasised are often implicated in extreme weather events. The added forces tagging along also place strain on the earth's crust = more potential for seismic activity in vulnerable locations.

3. This eclipse perpetuates the purification aggression theme identified as being a persistent theme in recent months....
All people intent on promoting separatist beliefs and claiming greater purity than others [human or any species] are aggravated further by this eclipse to feel an entitlement to eliminate those they see as inferior, impure or pest species or people – and so an aggressive drive is activated to kill or attack physically or symbolically –with weapons or words, those believed to pose an impurity threat.

This manifests clearly in fundamentalist faith-based acts of murderous aggression but the compulsion is not limited to the most high profile sectors in this era. Inter-racial discord is another manifestation as well as faith vs faith, men vs women, humans vs animals – any sector where belief inspires a hatred of another category of life form.

In one-to-one conflicts, this theme of superior purity of ideas is easily channelled into   

a tendency to be too direct, too blunt, be too assertive or aggressive in pursuing an idealistic or overly correct/purist personal agenda, a risk of appearing too selfish, impatient – but of course there are consequences – being too driven by your own agenda could result in the other person being emotionally wounded and suffer significant loss of self esteem.
Purification aggression is clearly not limited to human interactions: our species is populated by many with a domination gene, a mindset of totally superiority over all beings. The desire to eradicate certain biological species or variants and create a perfect natural ecology is also part of this disease of imbalanced perspective. The domestic cat species is on the eradication list globally, especially feral variants on account of the purification agenda. The sense of human entitlement to order natural balances is a deeply flawed position.

People affected strongly by this eclipse will have planets positioned in the range 22-25 degrees –especially if in water or fire signs

Eclipses have wide ranging periods of influence - can be triggered in advance -[eg August 2016 for this eclipse] and during at least 6 months ahead by activating planets.

Sept 15

Typhoon Meranti, so far the strongest storm of 2016 on the China coastline and with impressively low air pressure -890 millibars

Questions continue to arise in NZ about an apparent racial bias both in charging and sentencing criminal offenders. This echoes claims by other indigenous cultures in Western democracies -the US, Australia, Canada - who say they experience the harder hand of justice compared to whites, especially when privileged white males seem so often to escape significant penalties for serious offending.

This issue is highlighted in current times as a purification issue

update Sept 16 -eclipse day was marked in Pakistan by a suicide bomber
updates Sept 17 - a bomb blast in Manhattan, New York injures many, but labelled unspecified terrorism
A separate blast in New Jersey was eventually linked to the Manhattan bomb and a suspect arrested
IS claims a soldier of their faith committed multiple stabbings in a Minnesota mall
update Sept 19 - a humanitarian convoy in Aleppo Syria is bombed, destroying 32 vehicles and with multiple deaths and injuries
updates Sept 30 recent events show activation of eclipse potentials. The extreme storm hitting eastern Australia beginning Sept 28 featured twin tornadoes in an"unprecedented event" resulting in damage and widespread power outages. People used "end of world" and "apocalyptic" references regarding the forces of nature -severe winds, torrential rain, sea surges and no electricity.
New York train crash with multiple injuries see note 4 for analysis 
A significant geomagnetic disturbance affecting earth since Sept 27 is a relevant triggering device for extreme events/behaviour

Notes re analysis

1. [Sun conjuncted by Mercury both squared by Mars trined by Uranus] 

2. The eclipse itself is no less complicated - with high energy activations

[from Mars and Uranus] applying to the Sun-Moon-Chiron mix.

3. Most of the energy is mutable – meaning all energy expressions related to Virgo-Pisces and Sagittarius-Gemini are made prominent.

The mutables are, on one level, Mind signs –Virgo is the picky, analytical, critical, upholder of the faith of purity – but taken too far = purification-aggression - identified as a persistent theme in recent months

Pisces is the most tolerant, inclusive, compassionate mental perspective but is prone to blind faith

Sagittarius is the philosophical and belief-focussed mind – Mars in Sagittarius further energised by impatient, aggressive Uranus in Aries creates a force at odds with Pisces and Virgo – producing more negative outcomes

Gemini becomes activated automatically through being part of the dominant energy pattern of the eclipse

4. A reminder that all forms of transport -road, sea, air, rail are vulnerable under a mutable energy eclipse of potent moon event - mutable events feature any of the signs of that group - Pisces-Virgo-Gemini-Sagittarius  due to all having a correspondence to the flow or movement of forces. Our transport systems are simply an outer world re-creation of the flows of the four elements in the body 

The Most Popular Months to be Born & their astrology

Is your birthday one of the most popular in New Zealand or one that most avoid?

Do you know the month when most Americans are born?

Is the UK the same -or different?

Official stats for the period of recent decades show some patterns of great interest to an astrologer and because there are differences in the NZ data versus that of other countries.

Animal species have much more specific breeding cycles than humankind.

In effect, most women have the choice to plan a pregnancy or to just roll the dice and see what happens. Under these supposedly more random conditions the results are actually not random at all.

NZ stats show that most birthdays in the data period occurred in September

• only one of the Top 10 most popular birthdates was in October – October 1^st

• This Top 10 was squeezed into a fortnight from 19 September-October 1^st

and

• The Top 20 occurred within the 4 weeks September 16-October 14

• The Top 21-30 places were also all spread over September-October

A very statistically significant pattern
So New Zealand is loaded with Virgos and Libras.

Does this obviously mean most Kiwi women conceive in the mid December-mid January period which is mostly Summer Vacation time?

The urge to sexually reproduce, mate, conceive is stimulated by planets in the zodiac sign Scorpio and when the energies of Venus, Mars and Pluto are prominent – so more people will feel more sexy during these periods.

The Sun is the dominant force affecting Earth because we are in orbit around it and we are part of the massive solar system network involving many other planetary influences that Earth cannot avoid.

The Sun is approximately in the same position in its cycle year after year so we know in mid December the athletic, outdoorsy, sporty Sagittarius energy is being emphasised through the Sun's position.

A few days before Christmas, the Sun moves into the sector in space associated with the sign Capricorn – and is there for the period through January until the 3^rd week.

Capricorn comic actor Jemaine Clement

Capricorn is earthy, grunty energy, basic & goaty -more neolithic caveman versus the toned Sagittarian gym bunny – but both are suitable enough to stimulate romping in the hay, the sand, under the trees... you get it.

Because these energies coincide with the southern hemisphere summer and more relaxed free time away from the chain gang, it is a great mix for one plus one makes 3.

When the usual suspects in terms of sexy planets are activated in the NZ holiday period the lights flash Green for Go even more brightly.

In December 2015 for example:

Venus joined the party by being in Scorpio from Dec 6-Dec 30

Mars in Libra was very keen on relating all through Dec and into January, especially when Jupiter boosted the hormones in the week before Xmas. Mars went into Scorpio on Jan 4 2016 for a long stay til March 7 2016. Whew. Feel the heat.

Pluto was in the sign of the goat, Capricorn, all through the vacation period, being in a long, very long orbit through this sector, since 2009 until 2024. More people feeling grunty for longer.

The kinky influence of Uranus in January makes Pluto want to extend into some unconventional practices. How many shades can you get?

So the 2015-2016 holiday period may increase the Sept-Oct 2016 birth stats even higher – which means we will end up with even more Virgos and Librans than currently rule the data over the past 34 years in New Zealand.

Is this a good thing?

So if NZ is over-abundant in people born under Virgo and Libra what personality aspects does that highlight in the population? :

Virgos are in their essential state [aside from other birth planet influences] the keepers of the Protestant Work Ethic. These are the people who live to work, day after day, week after week, year after year,. Keeping the system efficient is their mission in life, they love order, categories, classifications, analysis, nitpicking, can be highly self critical as well as critical of others.

They value perfection & purity, appreciating the mantra My Body is a temple” - and so careful reading of product labels, a keen interest exists in nutrition, superfoods, optimum health.

Virgos are the most mentally active Earth sign, lots of thinking of an analytic type and proneness to worry are traits that play havoc with their digestion and cause related health weaknesses.

Their interests in being great workers and looking after their health bolster

capitalist society and reduce the state health budget. Bravo you 8-6ers

Librans are in their essential state [aside from other birth planet influences] those who really really have to be half of a couple. 
Their mission in life is to pair up and stay there, so this usually means some form of commitment. Balance, harmony, beauty, are the ideals they seek. Looking good, the body beautiful [outside] a fabulous wardrobe, a ring and someone to hold hands with. Of course this can end up in identical outfits and velcro patches joining them 24/7. Enough is never enough when you are just a half needing another to be whole. But not all Librans end up this way. Some are serial wives/husbands, who prepare the next dish before the last one is fully devoured.

Librans will adore the era of the selfie -not as much for ego reasons like those shallow Leos -but more on aesthetic grounds. They adore culture, fine art, fine anything and if they attain a beauty that is essentially sculptural then all the better.

Being peacemaking, compromising, mediating types who hate conflict, Librans play a role in calming rough waters, keeping things civil and gentile. Their partnership drive can extend beyond their personal life into business or sporting partnerships and many successful examples exist across all these type of fields so in the areas of family, business and sporting life, Librans can perform as a very positive part of the societal structure.

Other than that they pay a fortune into the fashion, makeup, footwear, handbag and hairdressing industries. Fabulous.

So these two profiles constitute to a significant degree the most common personality types in NZ society in this era.

But

Astrology acknowledges that each zodiac sign is actually one part of a paired polarity – like twin energy -so each of us can oscillate or swing between the sign we were born under as well as the opposite sign . This adds another layer onto the personality.

• Virgos oscillate with Pisces. Librans oscillate with Aries

• [Taurus-Scorpio, Gemini-Sagittarius, Cancer-Capricorn, Leo-Aquarius]

• When Virgos are not suited to really be Virgos -in the ways explained above and on account of the other planets in their individual birthday makeup, those people will act more like Pisces -whose qualities are in many ways the opposite: work is not regarded as the dream: dreaming is the dream. Different from the machine-like work focus of Virgos, Pisces work flow is more sporadic, organic, going with the flow of prevailing energies. Where Virgos focus, Pisces zone out. Too much detail. Pisces sees the bigger picture not the micro details.

• Instead of the pure body goal of the Virgo, when in Pisces mode they are more likely to load up on toxins -alcohol, tobacco, drugs, medicines or at least any form of escapist or intoxicating experience.

• When Librans flip into Aries they abandon partnerships, they engage in conflict, they go for a warrior or masculine look instead of girly or metrosexual fashion, they rely on their own courage and strength instead of drawing it from their support person.

So these polar opposite profiles are also very likely to enter into the framework when considering those born in the mid September-mid October time frame of any year -and therefore to be statistically relevant amongst New Zealand personality types.

For all those dedicated workers there will be an equally dedicated number who think life has different paths to follow.

For all those binging on superfoods and probiotics there will equally be those who binge on alcohol & reality altering addictions.

For all the gentile refined polite co-operative and well dressed fashionistas there will be the impatient, selfish pushy ME types who love a battle

Because these extremes operate within a person

And this recognition helps resolve the dilemma of how the astrology zodiac can possibly work in the southern hemisphere -because the signs describe the seasons from a northern hemisphere perspective -the reverse of life south of the equator.

The polarity oscillation -the psyche's capacity to swing between 2 related but opposite expressions explains how the zodiac can work in both hemispheres.

The same principle covers the seasonal aspects.

As for rare or unpopular birthdates in NZ

Data shows that Public Holidays are way down the rankings.

Xmas Eve, Xmas Day, Boxing Day. New Year's Day and Jan 2, Waitangi Day, Anzac Day, take up most of the Top 10 lowest ranked birthdates.

Feb 29 is automatically the least ranked due to it occurring only in Leap Years

Apart from these dates, March, April and June have 2,3,2 dates in the lowest 20

US data from 1973-1999 also found September to be the most common birthday month
so late December or January is likely to be main conception time = Capricorn, with also the November-December period = Scorpio and Sagittarius influences upon the sex drive.
Top September birthdays in the US = the 16^th, 9^th & 23^rd

The biggest spread of birthdays covered July, August and September, with July the lesser of those 3.

This means most US births are in the northern summer period.

The signs Cancer Leo and Virgo operate in this 3 month period .

Their polarities Capricorn, Aquarius and Pisces are also evoked.

Cancer is family values, Leo is the entertainment industry

In the UK, data for live births 1992-2013 favours July for most birthdates -also summertime.
July is Cancer -family and tradition are strong values with Leo beginning in the 3rd week - the entertainment industry.

Although July did not come out on top in every year it was either 1^st, 2^nd or 3^rd in 20 out of the 22 years of data.
The only year that July slipped out of the top 5 rankings for numbers born that month was in 2012, when it came 6th
The only other months to rank repeatedly in the top 3 were May, August, September, October -but they only featured in 9,10,12, 11 times respectively -way less significant than the high scoring July at 20 times.
Therefore In the UK the favourite conception time is October - the going indoors time, when Autumn in underway - in order to produce so many July births.
The October mix of partnership time [Libra] and sex hormones [Scorpio] proving too heady for the Brits to resist.

But he most definite UK data relates to the month of February.

February produced the least live births in the UK in all 22 years calculated, differing from 5,000 to 10,000 compared to the number in the top ranked month.
Though the UK is known for eccentrics, they are rarer than you think if few choose to be born in the Aquarian-Piscean month.
The July record was 63,002 live births in 2011

Australia's favourite birth month is March
according to data for the period 2001-2012 inclusive
March led the stats overall twice as often as next favourite October.
March births mean winter conception
October births mean summertime conception
Pisces & Aries are born in March
Libra and Scorpio born in October.
The polarity for Pisces is Virgo, for Aries is Libra,  for Scorpio is Taurus

With NZ births predominating strongly in the Spring - which in the Northern latitudes is equated with Aries initiating type energy, it is not surprising if the Aries polarity of Libra is strong in the New Zealand psyche.

We even have a Rugby League team called the Warriors, we delight in the battle challenge ritual called the haka, face and body tattoos are very popular, boy racers use our roads as Playstation game scenes, mothers speed around our cities in monster Sports Utility Vehicles, road rage, speeding... traffic-light running is a national sport and we're very competitive.

As for the Pisces polarity of Virgo -dare I mention the drink, the drugs, the substances that have increasingly flooded the land since colonization. Yep too much of a good thing makes us flow back to our inner opposite.

EL FARO victim of Supermoon Hurricane Joaquin

The ill-fated cargo ship El Faro left Jacksonville Florida on Tuesday September 29, in the wake of the strongest Supermoon of 2015 -the full moon total lunar eclipse that was still in effect. 

Latest: October 14 2015 Jordan family seek $100M compensation

El Faro was declared on October 5 2015 to have sunk in 15,000 feet of water, after passage into Hurricane Joaquin in the Bahamas, the last transmission from the ship sent on October 1st

  
Joaquin was termed a tropical depression on Sept 28 and a tropical storm on Sept 29, hurricane strength on Sept 30 and major hurricane on October 1

• Hurricane warnings were issued for the Bahamas on Sept 30.

• The southern Bahamas islands were battered for two days suffering extensive damage

• The distress call from El Faro was received at 7.30 am on Thursday October 1.

• Joaquin was already a Cat. 3 Hurricane and worsening.

• The ship had lost propulsion, was listing at 15 degrees and had taken on water.

• Searchers located a large debris field that included life rings, life jackets, as well as discoveries deemed related to El Faro: one cargo container, one unidentifiable body in a survival suit.

Liability issues now hinge upon arguments that include negligence and perils of the sea 
The legal dimensions of a case such as this are ripe for the inclusion of:

• a very significant indicator of extreme conditions was in existence - namely the strongest eclipse of 2015
• evidenced by the known potential hazard Joaquin 
• being in the location relevant to the El Faro's route, heading for San Juan Puerto Rico 

 If the forecasting of extreme weather conditions was given its due significance, integrating the highly relevant indicators given by eclipses, lunar perigees and the planetary signs and positions, then El Faro would never have sailed.
The knowledge of the ancient mariners has been dismissed and devalued in favor of economic imperatives and vastly inferior knowledge bases that lack human insight. 

Believed sank 35 nautical miles N/E of Crooked Island southern Bahamas

For Astrologers

Uranus and Pluto ominously on the 2 main axes of the chart at 7.30 am Oct 1

Jupiter opposite Neptune bringing big seas, big swells, flooding.

Uranus activating the Aries-Libra axis speaks of unbalancing and capsize

Pluto is known for catastrophic destruction.

Sun, Mercury-Node all in the Pisces domain, all responding to the pull of Neptune in Pisces

As seen above this event occurred exact on the full moon.
The chart for El Faro was timed re the time of the last transmission and so captures conditions close to the final demise of the ship.
