What with the Christmas season and all, recently there hasn’t been much in the way of economic news. Seemingly, no news was bad news: (more…)

So, Keyser was just posting yet again about the impedning devaluation of the dollar as the result of the refusal of anyone in the US to face the reality that you can’t go on buy shit on credit forever, and now the Fed is intentionally going to “flood” the world with dollars. Well, unless they’re planning on getting the whole planet to adopt the US dollar as their sole currency, this sort of thing has go to come to a bad end.

Well, when Keyser was strolling around the Intrawebz on the hunt for quality material for you, Keyser’s esteemed viewers (because, as we all know by now, customer satisfaction is Quantifiable Indicator of Output Quality Number One for Keyser Söze, just as it is at the Treasury Dept.), Keyser found this image, which seems to encapsulate the foreseeable result of borrowing untold trillions of dollars: (more…)

So, yesterday we were pondering the implications of designer vaginas. A bit weird maybe, but one can at least wrap one’s mind around the idea (so to speak). But now we have some huge guy wallowing in his sexy so much that he wants to have people buy calendars of his girth to admire it in erotic awe: (more…)

Holy bummer, Batman! This is from a week ago, but it’s not like the prediction is now out of date (particularly with the DJIA losing nearly 500 pts. today and finishing below 8000 for the first time in five years):

The economy faces a slump deeper than the Great Depression and a growing deficit threatens the credit of the United States itself, former Goldman Sachs chairman John Whitehead, said at the Reuters Global Finance Summit on Wednesday.

In an earlier post over at the Lair, Keyser ruminated on the question of whether the financiers who got us into this financial mess and now want the government not only to bail them out but to keep paying them huge bonuses for the privileging of having them continue to mismanage those corporations are liars or imbeciles. Well, now it would seem that the question arises as to whether professional economists are certifiable idiots. And sadly the answer seems to be yes if Paul Krugman is anything to go by.

Keyser just read a piece about the origins of the disaster on Wall Street that’s enough to freeze the blood of even the most sanguine Hungarian. The piece is written by a guy who apparently wrote an exposé book about his experiences on the Street in the ’80s. Here’s how he describes his background:

To this day, the willingness of a Wall Street investment bank to pay me hundreds of thousands of dollars to dispense investment advice to grownups remains a mystery to me. I was 24 years old, with no experience of, or particular interest in, guessing which stocks and bonds would rise and which would fall. The essential function of Wall Street is to allocate capital—to decide who should get it and who should not. Believe me when I tell you that I hadn’t the first clue.

So, some Holy Woman named Cindy Jacobs over at the 700 Club graciously volunteered to go to Wall St. on October 29 and pray in front of the big Golden Bull there for divine intervention to prevent a repetition of the stock market crash of that date in 1929. Very proactive of her, Keyesr would say. But does anyone say thank you? Of course not.

A new perspective on the American credit crisis from an Indian call center:

In the past, debt-saddled customers were often annoyed by Chaturvedi’s calls from the open-air office at Aegis BPO Services. But now they seem depressed, defeated. Even the men sob into the phone, several agents said. (more…)

Summoning is the drawing down of some person, thing, or situation that the client deems to be needful. The corresponding operation of banishing is the removal of some person, thing, or situation.

To perform the operation, you need to have a concrete visualization of what it is you want. And by concrete visualization, I mean just that. The more details the better. This means that writing stuff down is more effective than not, that creating an art work is more effective than writing, and that having a bunch of friends over for a ritual enactment of what you want is more effective than art.

Timing. Look to the moon. When the moon is increasing in size, your summoning event is effective; correspondingly, when the moon is decreasing, the banishing operation is effective. Now, to minimize strange results, you should also look to the direction and location of the planets. If your operation involves something ruled by Mars, say, then you would want Mars direct and in a propitious sign. As some operations are complicated, you may have some timetable issues. Given this, you may wish to simplify the object of your operation into something without extra planetary complications. Consult your astrologer if needs be; even better, learn astrology yourself to figure out this stuff without arousing suspicion.

When you perform your summoning (or banishing), you are effectively creating a parallel universe wherein your desired result manifests. You are moved into this parallel universe. To the extent that your desires are stable and compatible with wishes of the Great Librarian of the Universe, so too will the parallel universe into which you have parked yourself will be stable. If this is not the case, you will be shifted back into a steady state universe, but this inevitably involves some sort of release or consumption of energy. The energy differential is proportional to the amount of energy expended to shift yourself, along with any disruptions you may have caused. Which leads us back to the importance of visualization of your result, and timing in tune with the ebb and flow of the universe.

Specifically, some people will use the tarot to describe the operation they wish to occur. Perhaps a simple cast of three cards can describe the outcome, or a more complicated spread to detail guideposts, external energy sources, likely and possible outcomes, as well as your desires. Other descriptive methods include a descriptive essay or a photo mosaic.
Like any scientific experiment, keep a journal of your work.

I, Sargon the Magnificent, wrote this.

Yes, it is the year of the Rat.

Rats in our modern world are a little different than what the wise ones of the ancients were thinking about when they choose the Rat as symbolic of what is going to happen this year.

In the ancient world, Rats are associated with plague, disease, and illness. Also, bureaucratic waste, bad management, and ships sinking at sea.

So, for you ..

Aries: you will come to realize that your signifigant other values the house cat more than you. In this, you are the ‘rat’. Check the help wanted ads on Thursday, there is a good job for you there.

Taurus: Rats love to eat the wealth that the hard working Bull has accumulated. Taurus hates the year of the Rat. Expect to be audited by the government, and expect your auditors to be hired based on skin tincture, not ability. You will escape based on a spelling error in an arrest warrant.

Gemini: Not such a bad year for the twins, who have some things in common with the ‘big family’ approach of the Rat clan. There are lots of spilled bags of grain around … which is really a metaphor for easy pickings.

Cancer: Nothing like listening to your sainted grandmother scream when a plump rat runs over her quilted comforter just before she finishes her tea before bed. The year of the Rat means domestic uproar for Cancer.

Leo: Mmmm, rat. Leo eats rats. This will be a good year for you, the predator of choice of the zodiac. Expect a big income tax refund and a few bank errors in your favour.

Virgo: The year of the Rat is one of filth and pestilence for your sign. Expect the toilet to back up (surge and gush is more likely), and someone you know will get typhus.

Libra: Social Libra rather likes the busy den or warren, or simple rat’s nest of intrigue that is Year of the Rat for Libra. There is too much food lying around, you will get fat. Rats also are messy in the later stages of their life cycle, so there is some cleaning up to do, which Libra will get to do, and usually hungover, too.

Scorpio: The year of the Rat is nothing special to this sign. Rats are a standard menu item at the fast food restaurant of life that Scorpio goes to. Will there be fries with that? What drink? It is just that rat meat is on sale this year.

Sagittarius: Rats make good hunting for the horse archer that is Sagittarius. And, they make good bar-b-que. More white meat than squirrel. Its a good year for this sign … but look to being prepared for next year, when the sign of the Ox sends an army of barbarians in the season of the blossoming persimmons.

Capricorn: You are doomed. Doomed to die of over eating! Rats and Capricorn have a natural affinity, as between shrub eating rodents (goats) and ground eating rodents (rats). Your biggest expense will be new clothes to replace the ones you have forgetten in some whorehouse or gin joint.

Aquarius: Your sign loves rats, and rats love Aquarius. Unfortunately, being the Willard of the Zodiac is not an unmixed blessing. You may find that your once popular opinions are now bringing the plague down on your head.

Pisces: At least one person you know will confide in you secrets that will alter your comprehension of space and time. That person will be born in the year of the Rat.

I, Sargon the Oppressed, wrote this under duress. I am being kept a slave on a locked floor in an office tower in Toronto. Fenris is forcing me to do his data processing. There is only food court food for food. I have gas all the time. It wakes me up when I am sleeping. Thank you for your support, but I still need 2,545 dollars before Fenris will free me. Send him your money.

This year, as you contemplate your New Years Resolutions, I suggest you move the timing of your resolve to Saturday, January 26, 2008. For on that date, Pluto transits into Capricorn. And you will find that your resolve will be iron, your vision clear, and your heart forthright.

In order to know the future, let us look at the stars on that auspicious date:

Sun, 5 Aquarius 23: This first bit of delaying news for our Capricornian friends, who will profit so much from this Pluto transit! Some of the treasures of Pluto will not manifest in Capricornian hands (and those of their allies, namely Virgo and Taurus) until the Sun perambulates back into Capricorn in December of 2008. Projects initiated will not bear fruit until next year. For Aquarians, however, they will enjoy some sort of early warning; metaphorically speaking: The last ship to leave the city before the plague * strikes will be captained by an Aquarian.

Moon, Virgo: The moon is cranky in Virgo. The mob, the common people, the proletariat (call them what you will), will be focused on pedestrian concerns. The entry of Pluto into the same element as Virgo (Capricorn and Virgo both being earth signs) means that the mob will have some cause for hope: A great leader raises his banner on a burning mountain.

Mercury, 23 Aquarius: Hmmm. The moon will be applying two obscure aspects to Mercury, a Bi-quintile (144 degrees), and a Sesquiquadrate (150 degrees). Having obscure aspects, and two of them, between these two most mobile influences gives us a short-lived and scandalous effect: Four leaders raise their banners. I would not expect them to last very long, much like the successors to Nero (Galba * * , Otho * * , Vitellius * * ). No doubt, this will add to the discomfit of the mob.

Venus, 0 Capricorn: Oh my. Venus has just transited into Capricorn; Pluto is in conjuction to Venus! Venus is, however, slightly ahead of Pluto, and is now separating. A Queen steps over a rivals body to be closer to the throne.

Mars, 24 Gemini retrograde: Far away, going backwards, and out of aspect to Pluto, we are free of the prospect of war. Mars will not be influencing Pluto until March 6, 2008, so the War God will be keeping his war chariots and war elephants back in the barn until then. And even then, he will be in opposition to the powerful Pluto, so: Imperial prestige delays the Great War. Pluto, and Capricorn, being great fans of armed conflict, do have military designs, but not yet. And the timing of this is outside the scope of this post.

Jupiter, 8 Capricorn: Jupiter does not much like being in Capricorn. This is the sign of his youth, when he was a babe living in a cave on Crete, not yet the ruler of the universe. Jupiter transited into Capricorn back on 19 December 2007, which would be the date of the first downfall for the corrupt Sagittarian academic and judicial order. Of course, Pluto leaving Sagittarius strips the whores and heretics of their last rank of divine protection. In essence, the Titans return to dominate the earth. Also, expect the beginning of a purge of the Jupitarian rulers of political correctness. Jupiter did send the Titans * to Hades, and they are vengeful. Purges being ruled by Mars, and Mars either silent or having his trigger finger held back by Pluto (see above), there will be not much blood letting until later.

Saturn, 7 Virgo, retrograde: Saturn, who, on this day of January 26, 2008, has domination over Pluto, is applying the favorable aspect of trine to Pluto (and Jupiter!). This is very auspicious for several signs, but in different ways. For all, it implies the seed of a golden age is placed in your hands. Saturn makes things visible, tangible, and material. Those signs so favored are going to be Virgo, Scorpio, and Capricorn. Virgo would get the bourgeois gifts of fame, Scorpio gets wealth, Capricorn gets power. Pisces, a sign ruled by Jupiter, would have access to the wealth and fame, too. The closest aspect that Saturn and Pluto get is on 3 May, 2008. Circle that day on your calendar.

Uranus, 16 Pisces: This planet does not play much part in this event. So, his effects are limited to tormenting Pisces with strange electrical phenomena, alien contacts, and lovers with a taste for tartan themed underwear.

Neptune, 21 Aquarius: This planet does not play much part in this event. So, his effects are limited to tormenting Aquarians with strange mystical urges, fortutious meetings in the fog, and mysterious voices in the presence of large bodies of fresh water.

So,

This is the passing of an old dynasty, turned corrupt by the infiltration of the greedy, the lazy, and the incompetent. While the employment of dullards and parasites appealed to the bleeding hearts and soft eyed sensibilites of those with other peoples money to spend, the rise of fresh barbarians on the frontiers and new domestic rivals, calls for methods that work. The common folk are disgruntled. A Queen draws closer to a throne. The Titans return, but hold back their revenge.

December, 2007. This is the last full month that will see Pluto in the sign Sagittarius. Next month, Pluto transits into Capricorn. This month will see what appears to be the high point of Political Correctness. Actually, the apex was some time ago; this is the gilded paper tiger version, ripe for invasion. As an amusing diversion, here is how you can experience remote viewing for yourself.

Find a place that is quiet and calm. Usually, this is your bedroom. Sit or lay down, and close your eyes.

When you close your eyes, you will see not ‘blackness’, but actually a grainy pattern of bits. These will have a random pattern of motion.

Concentrate your attention upon the bits. Then, visualize looking backward. While this is physically impossible, it is possible to visualize. Attempt to look backward into your head.

Some people find that holding or being near to an object of silver is helpful.

When the pattern infront of your eyes changes to one of order, you have entered the state of remote viewing. The pattern will then become one of an infinite regression, with plates of dust falling away from your point of view.

At this point, you have the ability to travel through space and time as an observer. It requires a little practice to go where you want to go, to stay where you want to stay, and it requires discernment to understand what you see.

Now, you can judge for yourself about remote viewing.

Some people have a gift for remote viewing. Like the twelve hypnotic abilities, everyone is capable of remote viewing, but some are better than others.

Learn, Dare, Be Silent

Do realize that Fenris forced me to write that piece under duress. I am not responsible for my actions. He was holding hostage some books of mine that he acquired from me in a rigged poker game.

It is obvious that UFO’s do not crash so frequently because they use a Windows based operating system.

Using Astrological Accounting methods gives you the edge … here Sargon the Magnificent, renowned Canadian Financial Astrologer, continues his discussion of The Pentagram Strategy:

After the establishment of the five organizations, a suitable candidate to act as front man should be selected. This person has an important role to play in advancing our agenda. This person is to be known as The Founder. As soon as possible, The Founder should be elevated to divine status. This can be accomplished by The Friends, using skimmed taxpayers money from The Enemy and Acme, all under the covert direction of The Order. The divine status to The Founder is to be established through:

1) Strictly controlled access to The Founder. An early exercise of strength and terror is called for to establish a mindset of fear in the minds of the media.

2) Encourage positive information - The Founder should always be seen in simple, Christ like clothing. Numerous photos (using photo shop and green screen technology) should be available depicting The Founder in acts of saintly humanitarianism, such as working in a ‘food bank’ (keeping those young organ donors healthy), free health clinics (keeping those young organ donors disease free), helping old ladies across the road (to the Biolife clinic for new parts), working at blood donor clinics (and tissue typing at the same time), and performing ‘free’ surgery (organ extractions), and rescuing stray kittens.

3) Discourage negative information - The Founder should never be shown doing anything disturbing to anyone, such as smoking a pipe, drinking expensive liquor, screwing whores, or eating food.

4) Critics should be stalked and either turned to our purposes or turned into organ donors.

5) Supporters should be rewarded both openly and secretly. They should be elevated to positions of influence and power in whatever institution they are working in.

6) We should have damaging evidence on everybody. The greater the evidence, the greater we can trust them, in that they will obey the agents of The Order. This applies to both critics and supporters.

7) The Founder will have several expendable assassination doubles to handle dangerous and tedious chores. In the last resort, a double can be dispatched to face trial, imprisonment, or martyrdom while the real Founder continues to enjoy the fruits of shareholder value.

Corresponding to The Founder are the three leaders of Acme, The Enemy, and The Friends.

These three persons, called The Trinity, are not to be elevated to divine status. It is possible for them to migrate from organization to organization, as opportunity arises.

1) Scandals involving Acme are to be controled by The Order. Their purpose is to make Biolife shine, but not bring about the collapse of Acme.

2) Bad news about organ brokerage is to be controlled by The Enemies. Sufficient news is to be released, but never enough to actually cause a decline in cash flow. The Enemy exists merely to keep a legitimate opposition out of this ecological niche. If needs be, the head of The Enemy can be shown to be a disreputable scoundrel, and can bring disrepute on the otherwise legitimate flaws that may exist in the organ transplant industry.

3) Good news about organ brokerage is to be controlled by The Friends. Healthy propaganda is to be generated by operatives of The Order, but fed out in strategic amounts.

The identity of the person who leads The Order is to be secret. Those wishing to invest in The Pentagram Strategy and, ultimately, meet The Secret Chief should attend a seminar at The Fenris Badwulf School of Telemarketing Excellence. You will find out more there, proportional to the amount of your investment and enthusiasm.

Strategy Concepts

As mentioned in the post The Pentagram Strategy *, there are several subsidiary tactical motifs used by todays modern, post-Christian business person. Drawing upon the business scenario of the Human Organ Broking industry, Sargon the Magnificent, Financial Astrologer to the Captains of Canadian Capitalism, now expounds the details …

The Ebola Kidney Strategy
Acme is the incompetent compettitor of Biolife. This incompetence will serve to:

1) make Biolife shine in comparison. Biolife will supply matching organs in a timely fashion, with no quality assurance problems. Acme will supply substandard organs. They might not even have a tissue match, they do not have to be fresh, and they do not even have to be human!

2) draw criticism away from Biolife. While Biolife may have a few blemishes (high fees, questionable sources of human organs, mysterious dissappearances of critics), Acme is alot worse!

3) discipline critics of Biolife. Critics of Biolife can find themselves with an organ from a primate research lab (infected with Ebola * ), by ‘mistake’, by Acme. Likewise, medical professionals that do not sign onto the Biolife organ transplant bandwagon can also find themselves in a surgical theatre with an Ebola Kidney. Critics, recipients, doctors, or meddling do-gooders, can experience for themselves the shoddy quality that subjugation to Biolife can prevent. Criticising Biolife is both dangerous and unprofitable.

4) act as a receptacle for incompetent Biolife employees. Malcontent and subversive staff from Biolife can be lured to Acme, and then eliminated in some horrible fashion. I suggest some variation on the laboratory ‘accident’ or ‘faulty’ elevator scenario. Incompetents, hostile legal counsel, and irritating people could even be used as organ sources. In the end, the profitable Biolife avoids lawsuits and maximizes shareholder value.

The Back Door Strategy.
Acme management is so incompetent that nobody actually knows ehere their money goes. Acme money will be used for:

1) Fund research projects that will line our pockets

2) Embarrass our critics (real critics, not the pretend ones under our control). Imagine the scandal when some politician is exposed taking ‘human organ bootlegger’ blood money … from Acme.

3) Reward our supporters. Imagine the favors granted when a politician is flown to our ‘research center’ in Thailand for a few days of narcotic soaked sexual debauchery. Imagine the gratitude from scientists and academia when they get a research grant, scholarship, or donation (funded by Acme, but administered by Biolife).

The Hammer and Anvil Strategy.
It does not matter which telemarketing campaign calls you, they all work for us. We can use The Enemy and The Friends to promote our agenda:

1) Curtail motorcycle helmet laws - we can use bike gangs both as a source of organ donors and goon enforcers

2) Support orgon donor card signing drives and legislation to make organ donation mandatory

3) Tissue typing drives of donors (children, young adults), paid for my government and community service labor

4) Curtail harmful science: any alternatives to organ transplants are bad, and should not be studied. Also, those meddling ‘healthy lifestyle’ do-gooders, which reduces long term demand for human spare parts.

5) Embarass our critics: use our telemarketing assets to undermine our real opponents.

6) Reward our supporters: use our telemarketing assets to support friendly politicians, medical professionals, and social activists.

The Cookie Jar Strategy.
Accounting records and disloyal staff have acted as an unending source of embarassment and unjustified expense. The paper trail will be eliminated through:

1) Location of accounting record storage facilities in areas of military conflict. Currently, the servers for our ‘records’ are located in the hill country of Pakistan * , the insurgent controlled area of Peru * , and Detroit * .

2) Exclusive hiring of incompetents according to employment equity laws. In most cases, taxpayer money is paying the salaries and benefits for these dullards, bunglers, and academics.

3) Selective hiring of persons with communicable diseases (Leprosy, Scabies, anti-biotic resistant Tuberculosis * , and Bubonic Plague) to handle accounting paperwork. These documents are now bio-hazardous, which either deters or infects nosy meddling do-gooders.

4) Use of Computer software to generate vast amounts of important looking but incomprehensible reports and data. Currently, our operation in Waterloo, Ontario can produce a railway car a day of meaningless information.

5) Selective hiring of ex-felons to create a pool of people to blame when the inevitable Congressional inquiry sticks its snout in where it does not belong. Currently, our chief financial officer and his staff were hired right out of prison. A grateful government is giving us wheelbarrows of taxpayers money to hire these cut-throats and give them an employment opportunity.

The Pentagram Strategy.
Everyone who gets the gift of life from Biolife knows that when a gift is given, a debt is incurred. Using hypnotic techniques, we can implant suggestions and commands into the subconscious of our organ recipients, engendering feelings of gratitude and financial generosity. Most people who get organs from Acme are going to die quickly, so there is no need to hypnotize them, unless they are being used for an assassination hit or inside job robbery in the time that remains to them.

To control the four organizations, we can use a secret society. Members of this society will be bound together with suitable secret rites, regalia, and methods of identification. Hypnotic techniques can be used on all employees, to the extent that rank in the organization is equivalent to hypnotizability (according to the Stanford scale * ).

The Cult of the Personality *

Astute accountants know that astrology will give them the edge they need in todays business environment. Your competitors are supplementing Generally Accepted Accounting Practices with Crystal Ball Management Accounting … so should you!

The first basic principle of Astrological Business Practices is The Pentagram Strategy. This is the gist of the investment seminar I gave this last Friday at the Mitchieville Public Library which revealed this ancient business model:

The Pentagram is a five pointed figure. In this model, it refers to the five organizations that make up an alchemically perfect entity. For the sake of argument, I shall look at a business that I am currently working with in the Human Organ brokerage sector. There are five organizations:

1) Biolife, a virtuous organ broking entity
2) Acme, a second rate organ brokerage, which is the competitor to Biolife
3) The Friends, a non-profit charity that seeks to promote organ donation
4) The Enemies, a non-profit charity that seeks to oppose organ donation
5) The Order, a secret society that controls Biolife, Acme, The Friends, and The Enemies.

Discussion of the Five organizations

Initially, there would be Biolife. This would be the start up firm, which soon establishes market share, loyal customers, and dependable suppliers. However, other corporations, regardless of the nobility of their corporate missions, have soon found that their activites were under attack from competitors, malcontents, and self-serving dissidents. I suggest that we create and control our own competition.

The second of these organizations is Acme, which is the competition to Biolife. I envision Acme to be a cut-rate, poor quality, and second best supplier of human organs that will serve to make Biolife shine in comparison. Acme will be plagued with poor business practices, incompetent staff, and sloppy transplant protocols. The constant bungling of Acme will make the organ buying public, our customers, realize that the premium rates charged by Biolife are really a bargain. I call this The Ebola Kidney Strategy. Acme will still be a profit center, certainly harvesting a full measure of government money for employment equity hiring based on anything but ability. The profits generated by Acme will be funneled into our hands using The Back Door Strategy.

The third entity will be the critical public interest group which I call The Enemy. Looking back at the automotive sector, how much better would the industry be today if they had the foresight to control Ralph Nader and his pesky organization? I say we can learn from this experience and establish this entity ourselves. It is going to exist anyway, so let us utilize the wisdom of George Orwell in his utopia, 1984. The Enemies will mainly direct their justified ire at Acme, and will be financed through taxpayers money, through some non-Government Organization bunko scheme, which is quite common these days. The Enemies will also draw out any sort of malcontent Biolife employees, suppliers, or recipients. We will be able to use the influence of this lobby group to manipulate the legal process into the direction that serves our personal gain. I call this The Anvil Strategy. The Enemies will also be a profit center, funneling cash into our hands using The Cookie Jar Strategy.

The fourth entity will be the supporting public interest group which I call The Friends. This organization will support organ transplants, raise research money, organize donor card signing drives, scholarships, and tissue typing advances. It will be completely funded by taxpayers; research funds will be funneled into Biolife. We will use the influence of this lobby group to manipulate the legal process in our favor. I call this The Hammer Strategy. This organization will also be a profit center, funneling cash into our hands, where it belongs, using the same Cookie Jar Strategy mentioned above.

The fifth entity will be a command and control element. I suggest that it would best be a secret society. As the four other entities cannot be seen publically to be co-operating with each other, corporate expediency dictates that they co-operate secretly. I suggest that this organization be called The Order. This entity will be a profit center as well, harvesting spin off profits from related organized ‘crime’ activites.

This is, therefore, The Pentagram Stategy. Five organizations, of which two are companies, two are taxpayer funded lobby groups, and the last is a secret society, which controls them all. One company is good, one company is bad; one lobby opposes, one lobby supports; but of the two sets of publically opposing dualities, there is but one secret group that controls them all. Indeed.

This model utilizes the complete alchemical meanings of the number five, in the aspect of the unifing power of unity (The Order), with respect to the dueling chaos of the two sets of opposed pairs (Biolife versus Acme) versus (The Enemy versus The Friends).

The Cult of the Personality *

Only two transits come at you unprepared, and Pluto is not one of them.

With the movement of Pluto direct into the sign Capricorn the wise Investor has the opportunity to prepare. And, in preparation, profits. Wealth making has been rather slim with Pluto in Sagittarius; in Capricorn, one of the money grubbing earth signs, better. However, Pluto’s rulership over the sign of War, Scorpio, and the exaltation of Mars (more War) should have astute investors gloating with slaked greed, even if they do so in the air conditioned comfort of their private, personalized bunkers.

To understand how Pluto will effect you over the next two decades, merely be observant of your present life. This requires the ability to be objective. Be observant for both the problem and the solution. Pluto uses the volcanic eruption model of change. Pressure will build, steam will escape, then the mountain will blow up. So, watch for the bulging earth, the vents of steam where none were before; this will give you the idea where the landscape will erupt; and a good idea of where not to build your house. That is just an analogy, of course.

If I didn’t already have a campaign manager, I’d consider hiring The Guy From Boston. With Sargon’s aid, I will figure out his price and enlist him to to distribute my campaign literature.

The Perplexing problem of Yes and No.

If the answer is No, the spread will contain the Ace of Swords and the Nine of Swords. If these cards are side by side, then the ‘no’ is very strong. The farther apart, well, the more complications. If located in the upper left or upper right then there is the option to wiggle out of the ‘no’.

If the answer is yes, then the Nine of Cups will appear.

If both the ‘yes’ and the ‘no’ cards appear, then the answer is no, but in the end you will be glad this is so.

Recognition, Acclaim, and Fame.

In business, it is important to have good ideas, for these ideas to be recognized, and to get paid for them. The Nine of Wands shows ability, the Nine of Cups shows recognition, and the Nine of Pentacles shows getting paid. Not all three of these elements may be present, just like real life. Dullards get highly paid positions and geniuses get ignored or have their ideas stolen. The permutations of recognition, acclaim, and fame are shown by the presence or absence of the nines. The inclusion of the Nine of Swords will show infamy.
