November 2015 - the problems arising: astro analysis

A major planetary pattern with significant global implications builds through November 2015 and recurs significantly in 2016. [June-Oct]
November sees Saturn's energy at odds with that of Neptune.
When any planets are offset at 90 degrees a stressful incompatibility is generated in their energy fields. 

Saturn

This is Part 2 of the November 2015 analysis
For Part 1 which covers the energies in effect for the Paris attacks on November 13 go to Pluto on the Rampage

November 2015: Saturn is in Sagittarius and Neptune in Pisces when this square angle stress occurs.
Effectively from November 25-November 30 in particular forces will be locked into patterns that both manifest outcomes within that time frame but also set in motion patterns that were born in that time frame. 
Related effects are listed later in this post

A consideration of a range of related keywords gives some definition to the range of outcomes that will be recorded across diverse locations and contexts.
In all prevailing influences, people and locations do not equally experience the same intensity of impacts.
In order to strongly experience a related effect, the signature resonance of each place and person must match or have near correspondence to the type of pattern that is generated by planetary wave emissions.
Those lesser affected will simply read about, or view/listen to related news reports.


At the time of writing [November 12 2015] the two planets Saturn and Neptune are less than two degrees off their exact square angle - 7 degrees 2 minutes which occurs on 26/27 November [timezone dependent] 
This proximity of the two planets is enough to generate effects.

When Mercury also reaches 7 Sagittarius on November 25 conjoining Saturn and when the Sun reaches 7 Sagittarius on the 29-30th November, conjoining with Saturn -  in both of these periods the forces will be at right angles to Neptune so the Saturn-Neptune effects are amplified in the period 25-30 November and even into early December 2015. 

Here are some manifestations of the Saturn-Neptune-Sagittarius-Pisces energies involved.
Note that mostly challenging, difficult conditions arise with these combinations.

• Clash of beliefs - expect strongly opposed beliefs, repressive philosophies and rejection of religious or spiritual  perspectives
• Drought - Saturn restricting Neptune's water = declining soil moisture
• Damaging deluge or flooding - Saturn brings damaging effects after water initiates breakdown
• Restricted growth - Sagittarian expansion limited by Saturn's restrictive effect on water
• Maritime disasters - Saturn causes malfunction, restrictions, problems for vessels and people when travel by water is involved
• Insomnia - Neptune and Pisces are related to sleep. Saturn causes inhibited/restricted sleep
• Oil slump - Neptune's relationships include water, oil, chemicals, drugs, medicines, alcohol. Oil is heading downward and likely to be depressed on international markets whenever Saturn in Sagittarius is conflict with Neptune in Pisces.
• Economic downturn - e.g. a restricted growth cycle has once again resumed in China, with global implications.
• Reality versus Dreaming contrasts clearly the mindset of Saturn versus Neptune. Unrealistic schemes for business growth will fail.
• Legal problems due to alcohol/drug abuse or excess
• Liver problems from drug/alcohol abuse or excess
• Over-extension problems eg risk taking, excess physical effort due to poor judgement, confusion, being unrealistic
• Arthritic pelvic conditions due to toxic overload, dietary-induced inflammation.
• Paint, gas, chemical and oil related problems also includes biological problems from related toxicity, any negative outcomes from the use of such substances. Problems with painters, paint quality.

A positive outcome for Pisces/Neptune dominant people:
Saturn is the reality factor offset against Neptune's illusions, delusions, fantasies, escapism.

This can being Pisces/Neptunians down to earth in a beneficial way, bringing back structure, goals, plans, ambitions, managed growth, career focus -as a counterpoint to the dissolute, aimless, drifting, unfocussed existence that is likely to have preceded this new opportunity for balance.

A good time for sports people [Sagittarius] to abandon drugs and alcohol [Pisces] and make a commitment to attain mastership in their field [Saturn]



Looking forward to the bigger picture in 2016 because only some of the Saturn-Neptune issues will arise in late Nov 2015, or they will begin and not be resolved or completed until late 2016:

• the year sees repeated Saturn-Neptune combined effects
• June 2016 expect to see many themes arise during this month especially in the first week as detailed below-  
• [when 12-13 degrees also involves the Gemini Sun and 14 Virgo brings Jupiter into the picture meaning al1 4 mutable signs activated - Pisces opposite Virgo, Gemini opposite Sagittarius and form the mutable cross at the June 5 Gemini New Moon -energies flowing into July, August and September.

• The involvement of the Moon's lunar nodal axis becomes highly relevant from mid-June 2016 [when Jupiter in Virgo merges with the Virgo-Pisces axis in the 15-16 degree range while Saturn and Neptune occupy  12 degrees.]

• The 9 Virgo solar eclipse New Moon at the start of September occurs opposite Neptune in Pisces with these factors all at odds with Saturn in Sagittarius. 
• Soon after, Sun, lunar nodes, Mars, Saturn and Neptune will collectively amplify mutable sign energies relating to water -extremes of drought in places, extremes of deluge or flood in others with mass effects. Growth and production from the soil environment to the factory production line are equally affected.
• Economic effects are inevitable including rising unemployment, declining company values, national GDP impacted negatively.

• If you think these indicators hold the potential for global recession you could be correct.

• September 2016 as well as November 2016 are 2 months to watch in these respects both environmental/climate related and economically.

Neptune

Update Nov 14
With the mass attacks in Paris late on Friday Nov 13 the Saturn-Neptune energy brings another expression to the fore:
It is likely that public sentiment will strongly converge around a Saturnian or negative/severe/restrictive response to migrants/refugees in addition to the perceived threat from radicals driven by religious fundamentalism
Saturn in Sagittarius translates as fear/rejection, dislike of foreigners. 
This energy will be at odds with the compassion or sympathy/humanitarian response typical of Neptune in Pisces.


This is Part 2 of the November 2015 analysis.

Part 1 on Pluto in November 2015

Notes:
Saturn is detailed in depth on this site* and many references to Saturn in Sagittarius as well as Neptune and mutable energies .
To look at the combined effects means finding what sort of synergies are possible with Saturn and Neptune. This process looks at the keyword combinations that express the inherent Saturnian and Neptunian qualities as well as the relevance of their current passages through Sagittarius and Pisces.

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]

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]

source

 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.
