Income Inequality In US Getting Worse

According to researchers at the Economic Policy Institute (EPI), a Washington, D.C.-based liberal think tank, the top 1 percent of American families took home approximately 26.3 times as much income as the bottom 99 percent in 2015— a 4 percent increase from 2013. The report titled “The New Gilded Age: Income inequality in the U.S. by state, metropolitan area, and county,” is authored by Estelle Sommeiller, socio-economist at the Institute for Research in Economic and Social Sciences in France and Mark Price, an economist at the Keystone Research Center in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, who warned about the alarming trends in income inequality spreading across the country. https://www.zerohedge.com/news/2018-07-24/researchers-warn-income-inequality-us-getting-worse-it-was-intentional

In mundane astrology, the cardinal ingresses of the Sun have a traditional reputation as the most important mundane event. Each cardinal ingress of the Sun oversees a three month period. The Sun entered Cancer on 21 June 2018 so that the current period is under the influence of the Cancer ingress chart.  At Washington, DC where the Economic Policy Institute (EPI) is based, the Cancer ingress chart has the Sun-conjunct theTNPs Kronos-Hades  on the Ascendant opposite Saturn on the descendant.

The TNP Kronos rules people in high places for example the top 1% mentioned in the report. The TNP Hades, on the other hand, rules the poor and underprivileged, which in our case here would be the bottom 99%. The Sun shining its light on the conjunction is highlighting the contrast while Saturn opposite is forcing a recognition of this depressive reality.
