Full Moon puts pressure on the US Federal Reserve

 

The minutes of the September Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meeting on September 21 and 22 made it clear that tapering would happen despite headwinds from the Covid-19 Delta variant and disappointing recent U.S. jobs data… The most popular starting date for the policy reversal was in the next month or two. “The tapering process could start in either mid-November or mid-December—we still think November but one month isn’t going to matter to markets at this point,” said Lawrence Gillum, fixed income strategist at LPL Financial.

The Fed is unlikely to raise rates this year as the U.S. economy continues to recover from Covid-19. In fact, the Fed could wait until 2022 or beyond to increase borrowing costs following its announcement to let inflation run a bit higher than its 2% target.

 

Bill Meridian in his excellent article The Horoscope of the US Federal Reserve wrote:

The Fed's horoscope is dominated by major axes or groupings:

1) Mars and Neptune rising opposite Jupiter.

2) The Sun opposite Pluto, both squaring the zero Aries Midheaven.

The first grouping is descriptive of the Fed's tendency to inflate the currency. How could any entity with a hard Mars-Jupiter-Neptune aspect be expected to exercise restraint and maintain a stable currency?

 

I have added the TNPs Kronos and Zeus to the Fed’s horoscope and this completes a T-square (Mars – Zeus  – Neptune – Jupiter – Kronos).    The Fed Chairman  Jay Powell (b. 4 Feb. 1953) has Saturn [27li] – Neptune [24 li] completing a Grand Cross with the Fed’s T-square.  With transit Pluto now opposing the Fed’s Neptune a catharsis is demanded. Deceptive financial arrangements may come crashing down.

Pressure is  likely to run high on the Oct. 20 Full Moon at 27° 26’ Aries since it activates the composite Grand Cross  mentioned above . The biggest contributing factor is a cardinal T-Square created by the Aries Moon opposing the Sun and Mars in Libra with both squaring Pluto in Capricorn. The square between the Libra Sun and Pluto is exact on October 17 while the Mars-Pluto square is exact on October 21. Something has to give, the Fed may be forced to make changes its policy now!
