The first six months of the Trump administration have not been kind to the experts and the degree-holding classes.Almost daily during the tariff hysterias of March, we were told by university economists and most of the PhDs employed in investment and finance that the U.S. was headed toward a downward, if not recessionary, spiral. Most economists lectured that trade deficits did not really matter. Or they insisted that the cures to reduce them were worse than the $1.1 trillion deficit itself. They reminded us that free, rather than fair, trade alone ensured prosperity. So, the result of Trump’s foolhardy tariff talk would be an impending recession. America would soon suffer rising joblessness, inflation—or rather a return to stagflation—and likely little, if any, increase in tariff revenue as trade volume declined. Instead, recent data show increases in tariff revenue. Personal real income and savings were up. Job creation exceeded prognoses. There was no surge in inflation. The supposedly “crashed” stock market reached historic highs. July 1

In mundane astrology, the eighth house is associated with a nation’s financial obligations, shared resources, and economic matters, including trade, commerce, and national debt. The eighth house is also associated with death and transformation, which can manifest as economic restructuring, bankruptcy, or recovery from financial crises.
In the US Sibly, the TNPs Kronos-Hades have been moving over the radix Sun is in the eighth house. In her book The Orders of Light, Martha Wescott interprets Hades/Kronos as:
Hades/Kronos: leaders or experts make mistakes; to recognize humiliation through loss of authority but also leaders with a "common touch" (implying those leaders who are in touch with need of the masses).
And since this is transiting Sun (leaders) in the 8th ( trade/economics) it is no surprise to see economists got it all wrong and a leader (Kronos) in touch with the masses (Hades) was right!
Finally, the chart for the Sibly solar return (precession corrected) brings the Sun-Hades-Kronos combination to the MC square the dwarf planet Makemake [1] on the Ascendant.
About Makemake Nick Fiorenza writes:
Makemake appears to bring attention to leadership issues. Leadership is about being the protector and provider for the people and creating environmental conditions supportive of a healthy, prosperous and abundant life for all souls. In its negative manifestation we may witness the manipulative and diversionary antics of old-paradigm world politics and big-business. Makemake may also act to sort out those who are truly worthy of being in a leadership role from those who are not.
And no prizes guessing where Trump’s radix Makemake is placed! It is at [16cn] conjunct Sibly radix Sun [13] and the transiting Hades-Kron on Sibly return MC
