Astral Finance June 2012-June 2013

In General: From June 2012 to 2015, there are seven exact Uranus/ Pluto squares sandwiched between the spontaneous, self-motivated and ambitious Cardinal signs of Aries, Capricorn, Libra and Cancer. These stressful aspects will signpost sudden changes and disruptions. Therefore for the next five years we should be experiencing a major generational upheaval.The changes we've been observing for a while (including the world financial crisis) reflect the influence of Uranus in Aries and of Pluto in Capricorn. These planetary aspects will bring some restrictions in Global economics, business practices and employment opportunities. On June 11th 2012, Jupiter enters Gemini, where it'll stay for about 12 months. Jupiter in Gemini highlights education and communication of all kinds. In early October 2012, Saturn will move from Libra to Scorpio, a sign firmly associated with finances. As a result for the next 2and ½ years we’ll be seeing much reshuffling and reorganisation in the financial sector. If we are smart and choose to go with the flow of this dynamic if at times challenging time we will be embracing our own changes and refining our own financial processes! Perhaps it’s a wise time to consider that Money is only a tool. It will take you wherever you wish, but it will not replace you as the driver. Ayn Rand
