There is no reason to expect October to be slow and uneventful, just the opposite. This month will percolate with unprecedented events. The countdown to the election takes center stage, of course. The distractions from this will be the fuzzy math going on between the White House and Wall Street.
Wall Street’s meltdown came just after the change of direction of planets that represent power, big money, and super corporations. This change of direction has the effect of a rubber band pulled taunt and released. Changes occur rapidly. What we are witnessing is the deflation of the expansive greed of these powerful entities, which went out of control during the years since 2001. That was the full moon phase of two important planets that govern structure and the growth of power figures.
We all remember the World Trade Center disaster. This marker will identify many levels of experiences that ended one way of life and began another. This was the peak of the cycle that began in 1982 (Reagan was President) and ends in 2020. Just as the moon begins to shrink through the waning phase of its cycle, we see the waning in the financial growth cycle. Panic and fear are elements of this phase similar to the third quarter moon. This is a harvest phase that will wane further into the winter (dark) of the growth cycle. No one feels prepared for this coming phase.
The first half of October is an unstable period with much discussion “up in the air.” This time of review and reorganization will focus on financial issues mainly, but will include issues of trust in all forms of relationships. There is so much to be revealed in this two week period that it is hard to imagine who, what, and how in these scenarios.
The second half of the month will bring some conclusions, but undoubtedly, more questions as well. The likelihood of a Congressional agreement on the Wallstreet bailout plan looks to be much later in the month, perhaps as late as the last week of October.
Tension will be high by the last weekend of the campaign. I expect some event that will be very challenging to everyone. This period will reflect past events of the mid-60’s. The events of this period will call out the generation born in that time to come to leadership. The voices of these people will call for many changes. Things that will benefit all the people will be the key issues, like health care and energy alternatives. We can expect a revolution of society to be the historical stamp of the 2008 election.
