Why
Is The US
Treasury Suddenly Concerned About "Loss Of Market Access"
Summarizing the story so far: after years of never
even once contemplating how much cash the US Treasury has on eht books,
suddenly, 5 years into the "recovery" the Treasury is suddenly very
concerned about the level of statutory cash. Why? Fears over loss of
"market access" such as those during a "glitchy" 4 week
bill auction in December 2003 (implication: malicious hackers) or September 11
(implication: domestic terrorism accident). And what is probably most
disturbing is the TBAC's ultimate answer to the TSY's question whether it
should hold more cash:
The Committee concluded that it would be cost
effective and prudent for Treasury to hold a higher cash balance. Just in case,
surely. Still, one wonders, do they know something we don't, and just what was
unreported during the "framework discussion" phase, and just how long
until the Treasury tests out its increased cash retention strategy, and most
importantly: just what upcoming event could lead to the Treasury "losing
market access"?

writing about the US Sibly and how it reflects the coming economic crisis says:
With Uranus moving into opposition with the USA natal Saturn, and Pluto moving into
opposition with the USA
natal Sun, and with both these axes aligned at right angles, something’s got to
give. The USA
chart is 237 years old. It has been through many major multiple-planet transit
alignments over those two-plus centuries. But the USA chart has never been through
any multi-planet transit configuration this precise, powerful, or disruptive.
Uranus opposes the USA
natal Saturn every 84 years, so that’s happened twice before in the country’s
history (in 1847-48 and 1930-31, with severe economic disruption occurring each
time. By contrast, Pluto — the archetypal symbol for death-and-rebirth through
eruptive convulsions — has never been opposite the USA natal Sun. This will be the
first time that astrological event has occurred in American history. Not only
is that transit unprecedented, but it’s happening simultaneously with the
Uranus opposition to the USA
natal Saturn, and while Uranus and Pluto are square each other. Friends, that’s
off the scale. The argument can be made that this is most important crossroads
ever faced by this nation, every bit as important as the Civil War or the Great
Depression.
With such
powerful transits taking place in the US chart, the daily angles of the
progressed solar return can be great indicators of events. Shown here is the progressed
solar return (precessed) for August 6, the
date of the news item. Notice the perfect alignment of the horizon axis with
the Pluto-Uranus square. If we recall that Pluto is transiting opposite the
Sibly Sun in the 8th house – a house concerned with debt and
financial crisis, this news doesn’t come as a surprise.
P.S. Factor
in the chart for the upcoming lunar eclipse at Washington which once again highlights the same
crisis.
