The Federal Reserve on Wednesday cut interest rates for the first time since March 2020, as the central bank lowered the benchmark federal funds rate by 50 basis points amid progress in the fight against inflation....So why did the Fed pull the trigger on such a dramatic move on Wednesday?
Right now, we are less than 50 days away from the election, and this was the last opportunity that the Federal Reserve had to influence the outcome. A 50 basis point cut is inevitably going to provide a short-term economic boost, and the financial markets were thrilled when it was announced. In fact, it was being reported that stock prices were “exploding higher” on Thursday…Of course the Fed insists that cutting rates by 50 basis points had nothing to do with the election. But don’t let Fed officials fool you. They knew that a rate cut of this magnitude would cause stock prices to surge. And they waited until just the perfect moment to pull the trigger.The “sugar high” from this enormous rate cut should last for at least a month or two. And at this moment we are less than two months away from November 5th.
The horoscope of the Federal Reserve (23 Dec 1913; 18:02 Washington DC) has a Mars and Neptune rising opposite Jupiter ... 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? Inflation, is a Jupiter-Neptune phenomena - the illusion of wealth.
Perhaps the most important aspect in 2024-25 is the Jupiter-Saturn square. This combination requires that we use Jupiterian optimism to craft big plans of freedom from restraint while balancing these with Saturnian realism to carefully look for any flaws in those plans.
Here is the Fed’s lunar return chart. Notice that the Sun - Saturn - Jupiter T-square significantly placed on the horizon suggesting the balancing of optimism with realism is crucial for the Fed. But unfortunately it appears that gung-ho optimism has got the better of good judgement.
Confirming our conclusion is the Sep. 18 diurnal chart of the Fed, the date the announcement of rate cut was made. Notice the Sun-Neptune opposition on the horizon.With its link to deception, Neptune is connected to “mirages” or appearances that belie reality. When we take decisions that favor the “mirage” the world around us begins to decay but in the beginning this is not obvious to most. The author of the article above has rightly compared it to a “sugar high”.
More information can be gleaned from the chart for the exact Sun-Neptune opposition at Washington DC. Here we find the Venus (finance) -Pluto (secret/ulterior motives) square straddling the horizon.
On Oct 11, Pluto stations direct at [29cp] within two degrees of the Sibly Pluto [27cp] and the Fed’s Jupiter[27cp]. Steven Forrest describes aspects between Jupiter-Pluto as below:
Jupiter-Pluto
Under hard aspects between Pluto and Jupiter, faith is embattled. Perhaps someone has gone down a road for the wrong reasons…Comforting but phony elements of your life must be released and new possibilities seized under less than auspicious circumstances.
