China Offers Russia Help With Currency Problems



Two Chinese ministers offered support for Russia as President Vladimir Putin seeks to shore up the ruble without depleting foreign-exchange reserves. China will provide help if needed and is confident Russia can overcome its economic difficulties, Foreign Minister Wang Yi was cited as saying in Bangkok in a Dec. 20 report by Hong Kong-based Phoenix TV. Commerce Minister Gao Hucheng said expanding a currency swap between the two nations and making increased use of yuan for bilateral trade would have the greatest impact in aiding Russia, according to the broadcaster. http://bloom.bg/1BcACrM







The event reported in the news occurred on the eve of Uranus turning station direct. A chart for the station at Moscow is shown here. Notice a powerful Grand Cross on the angles interlocked with the Admetus-Saturn opposition from the 8th to 2nd house.

Second House
The nation's assets and financial status. The treasury, the exchequer, revenue and all places and activities concerned with money-making; such as banks, the stock exchange, financial institutions, money markets and trade. [1]

Eighth House
The national debt; financial relations with foreign countries. (Note that this would include the international value of a country’s currency). [2]

Seventh house
This house shows enemies and  international warfare but also  treaties and alliances with friends [3]

In a previous post [4] we had used Martha Wescott’s  delineation of the combination Admetus-Saturn that was as follows:

Admetus-Saturn: getting stuck between a rock and a  hard place.

In that post this combination was applied literally to a cow that was stuck in a narrow rocky canyon. Here the same combination is figuratively applied to Russia’s tight financial position which in the recent past has reflected in the value of the rouble dropping considerably against the dollar.

Notice that Uranus station direct aspects Admetus-Saturn. This provides a sudden change from difficult circumstances.

Uranus [12ar] is also conjunct the stars Alderamin and  Alpheratz. This is   where the chained Princess Andromeda is freed from captivity. Readers who are unaware of the story of the Royal Family can read it here [5].


As you read the section below think of Cetus as the Monster unleashed by the USA and the western powers to devour Russia in the form of sanctions and a currency war. Russia would then be symbolized by Andromeda and its principal star Alpheratz. And finally think of China as King Cepheus – someone in a powerful position who finally comes to Andromeda’s aid. Nick Fiorenza explains the dynamics of these stars as under [6]

Cetus the Sea Monster is the techno-bureaucratic monster of collective human consciousness sent by Poseidon to devour Princess Andromeda; it represents  the human genetic condition spiraled downward into a raging, fear instilling, consuming beast--diverting us from our evolutionary path to Light.

Alderamin, the Alpha star of Cepheus, is the right shoulder of King Cepheus, father of the Royal Family and Princess Andromeda, often portraying one in an authoritative position. Alderamin imparts a quality of authoritative responsibility. With afflicted alignments, Alderamin can expresses as denial, avoidance, or turning one's head from dealing with the manipulative power plays causing our or other people's entrapment with a flippant attitude to do anything about them. Here we can live in submission to manipulative forces rather than to stand up for self and for those unjustly held in bondage, even when it is our responsibility to do so. With empowered alignments, Alderamin impels impartial and emotionally clearheaded authoritarian action to address entrapping situations in a way that provides resolution.

Alignments with Alpheratz can also express as being caught in the power plays created by the arrogance or denials of others. The stars of Andromeda articulate the struggle for freedom from the collective and tormenting forces of the psycho-emotional human world, to claim our true galactic birthright and evolutionary destiny. Alpheratz's fortuitous position ultimately brings success and reward in this worthy pursuit.

As can be seen from this and several other examples at this blogsite, astrology must  include starlore to help us understand the deeper symbolic meaning of everyday events. Unfortunately modern astrology has lost its moorings to the fixed stars and with it its connections to a source of deep wisdom.
