Just as it is easy to see whether or not an individual will be coming into a time that indicates bankruptcy the same is true for the chart of a country. The USA chart is showing bankruptcy and the extent of our problems will be apparent by beginning of April 2009. The wheels of the zodiac were set into motion September 2008, but the extent of many problems will be apparent in March and April.

Astrologers may try to explain the phenomenon of the coincidence, but in reality why it works is a mystery that perhaps will be solved some day in the future. All we know is that everything is connected and the symbols from the planets help us understand our circumstances and what we can do to avert and heal the situation.

The USA chart is under stress from all of the outer planets, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto (yes I know that Pluto has been demoted). When one of the outer planets is impacting a chart it is more easily handled. There is a singular problem to focus on and we know that we need to handle it. When additional outer planet transits impact a chart life becomes increasingly overwhelming.

Since the chart of the USA will be dealing with all four of the outer planets it will be difficult to know which problem to fix first. We are in a planetary war zone and not enough resources to handle all the problems. Pluto is the planet of death, destruction, and rebuilding, it is decimating the planet of money and values. It is the
symbol for bankruptcy when it is position the way it is (in an opposition and along with Neptune that has hidden, deceived and eroded finances over the last three years).

Pluto will be exactly opposite Venus the last week of March 2009, this is when the state of the economy will be revealed further. Neptune has been dancing over the progressed solar arc Venus of the USA the last couple of years indicating deception and hidden truths about the state of money. This will continue throughout 2009, expect to see more fraud revealed from the financial institutions and businesses hiding or manipulating money. If the only transit for the USA was Pluto, the bankruptcy of the USA and subsequent rebuilding of her wealth, then this transition would be completed in December of 2010, unfortunately we will be dealing also with Saturn, lack and restriction, and Uranus, shifting money from one place to another, and sudden and unexpected situation that demand money.

What is the solution and how can we use this knowledge to help us? Understand that it will take many years for the economy to recover. The housing prices show that they will stabilize by the end of 2009 yet that will not fix the other problems that have transpired. Look for the opportunities that surround you. The restructuring of values collectively will also impact us that will turn to what is dear and precious in our lives. We may be in collective shock and denial for a few more weeks, yet coming out of this energy is the uniting of the public, albeit angry, and finding new avenues of joy and happiness.
