June Full Moon - travel & commodities indicators

June 2015 June 2 2015 Sun in Gemini Moon in Sagittarius Full Moon lasting a lunar month.
What is already in the news?
CNN Money homepage top item June 4 2015

Neptune in Pisces prominent at this lunar period resulting in significant events involving water
A Full Moon always involves the dynamic of two zodiac signs which are at the same time positioned opposite each other, as well as sharing themes which are expressed in different contexts or different but related ways
Gemini and Sagittarius involve movement and development on the mental and physical arenas.
  • Movement by walking, cycling, land transport and local travel have relationship to Gemini energy
  • Movement over large distances is Sagittarian & therefore tends to involve foreign travel. Physical movement being involved in travel is also involved in exercise and sport –where physical development, exploration of physical limits are explored.
The mental aspect of Gemini involves day to day information and communications and includes messaging, phone calls, conversations, written communications and all the devices entailed.
Movement here means the travel of information is involved.
The mental aspect of Sagittarius involves the use of the mind covering a much larger perspective and therefore leads into philosophy and religious belief. This involves travel within the mind, contemplation, expansion of thinking, mental exploration including advanced study.

Full moon energies bring any or many of these potentials to people whose personal energy is compatible [eg born with strong attunement to Gemini or Sagittarius]
Mars in Gemini is very close to the Sun at the Full Moon, bringing energetic communications adding to Jupiter in Leo linked to Mars – a combined theme of messages that are big-hearted, loving, generous.
Trips local and far for family reasons, for communicating love are indicated by the Jupiter and Venus connections to the full moon.

Mercury & Jupiter are the planets which further express the potentials of the Gemini-Sagittarius combo.
Mercury in Gemini being in retrograde state until June 11 tends to be problematical for communications matters/devices –so messages may be lost, misunderstood –and devices mislaid or lost, problems contacting people. Travel issues also involved - confusion, wrong turns, detours.

Neptune in Pisces is positioned at right angle to the Sun and Moon: a big message about water. On June 3 2015 the city of Dunedin, NZ took the brunt of this force and experienced a once in 100 year massive flooding of the city after torrential rain.
On June 4 Christchurch NZ also reported flash flooding.
Any other global location with strong connection to the prevailing energy of this month of June is vulnerable to an intense water energy - including the waters of the world and the vessels in transit over those waters –so a June 2 report covers a sunken tourist boat in Chinese waters –on the Yangtse River where many fatalities reported.

The energies of movement are subject to significant problematical conditions: difficulties, and for some, tragedies are involved in their travel experiences under current influences – indicated by Saturn in Sagittarius opposing Mercury and Neptune at right angle to Mercury –highlighting that water transport is particularly at risk for those of strongly similar energy

Political matters are never far off the radar in this exceptional period of restructuring and discontent [2012-2016] and the current lunar period highlights the political consequences of restricted growth. The slowed-growth theme includes economic as well as the grassroots indicators from the sectors of horticulture and agriculture which are in decline. 
In New Zealand this is the dairy industry due to successive declines in the price of milk solids.
The indicators analysed* suggest a very rough period June-July-August-Sept 2015 affecting those commodity sectors across the board already showing diminishing returns –as the bigger picture involves the mismanagment of the whole gamut of Earth’s resources, the structure collapsing, leading to freefall [*Pluto-Saturn]

Updates

The death of New Zealand All Black Jerry Collins [along with his wife] in a traffic accident in France is a strong match for the prevailing energy.
Collins being a sportsman fits the Sagittarius profile.
He was travelling locally in land transport = Gemini.
As stated in the report;
The energies of movement are subject to significant problematical conditions: difficulties, and for some, tragedies are involved in their travel experiences

Update June 18

China in Decline -the past revisited




News on January 20 2015 re the decline in China's economy prompts a review of this astroblog post from 2013 re the astrological warning signs for China returning: 
The November 17 2013 post:
I recently watched Niall Ferguson's series China Triumph & Turmoil [ You Tube has 4 episodes] in order to understand the mind of the dragon nation - now as we face an increasingly easternized world - see this post also related to Ferguson's proposals for an historical shift

While watching the episode related to the famine in the years surrounding 1960 -the Great Chinese Famine 1958-1961 with mass fatalities from starvation on account of a mega failure of Maoist policy involving greatly reduced food production, coupled with drought & adverse weather I was very interested to see the astrological picture in effect at that time and the connections to the astrology of China

To select a "birth" chart for a nation is not easy because there can be many new beginnings. When the Chinese Soviet Republic chart [1931] is considered there is much more of current relevance than the People's Republic chart [1949]
 I believe the austerity, famine, drought, large scale transformational energy of this chart was activated during the Great China Famine - and that it 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

In the China Soviet chart:
  • Saturn 18 Capricorn-Pluto 22 Cancer both at 90 degree angle to Uranus at 16 Aries with midpoint of 19 Cardinal are the energy points about to be re-awakened
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-related food shortages and severe reductions in production is revisited with Saturn passing through the growth and production sign Sagittarius in the period 2015-2017

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

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 forces


In the Great China Famine:
Saturn was in Sagittarius in 1957-1958 = the decline in growth & production
Environmental factors very relevant as well as policy effects
Saturn was in Capricorn 1959, 1960, 1961 = extreme austerity phase

With Sun-Mercury-Venus in Scorpio in the China-Soviet chart - transformational periods are very natural in the course of China's modern history.
Pluto [by connection to Scorpio] is therefore very relevant and having intense links to Saturn [by opposition] and Uranus [by 90 degree square] the potential for cycles of mass disaster, death, annihilation and destruction are anticipated both in the human and natural environments

Update February 14 2014
Economist Nouriel Roubini is quoted as follows in a recent Guardian article:

Then, there are the over-hyped Brics countries, now falling back to reality. Three of them (Brazil, Russia, and South Africa) will grow more slowly than the United States this year, with real (inflation-adjusted) GDP rising at less than 2.5%, while the economies of the other two (China and India) are slowing sharply. Indeed, Brazil, India, and South Africa are members of the Fragile Five, and demographic decline in China and Russia will undermine both countries' potential growth.

The largest of the Brics, China, faces additional risk stemming from a credit-fuelled investment boom, with excessive borrowing by local governments, state-owned enterprises, and real-estate firms severely weakening the asset portfolios of banks and shadow banks. Most credit bubbles this large have ended up causing a hard economic landing, and China's economy is unlikely to escape unscathed, particularly as reforms to rebalance growth from high savings and fixed investment to private consumption are likely to be implemented too slowly, given the powerful interests aligned against them.

Moreover, the deep causes of last year's turmoil in emerging markets have not disappeared. For starters, the risk of a hard landing in China poses a serious threat to emerging Asia, commodity exporters around the world, and even advanced economies.
