$3353 time for a nibble.....

The point I'm getting at is that people are already, and have been since QE started after the 2008 Crash, looking for the best place to store and protect their Wealth.

Gold ? Silver ? Property ? etc ....

And remember Currency started back when people bartered or swapped things.

In 1933, the US Government set a price for gold and required Citizens to sell most of theirs. This could happen to anything including Cryptos.

"Governments and central banks for almost a century have done whatever they could to keep citizens from using gold as a way to hedge their economic futures against the taxation policies of the government and the inflation policies of central banks.

The war escalated a few days after the outbreak of World War I in August of 1914. At that time, central banks authorized commercial banks to cease redeeming paper money for gold at a fixed rate of exchange.

The United States government forbade American citizens from owning gold, beginning in 1933 and extending to the end of 1974."

Please note that when a big planet like Uranus changes signs it goes thru a set of Will It? Won't It-s ?

First it has to cross the 27? point in the exiting sign. Then it has to cross into the next sign temporarily. Then it has to cross into the next sign permanently.

There is a beauty in this. In 2006 loads of people were crying about a Debt driven Crash.

If I remember in March 2007 we got a hefty panic driven Sell Off but we bounced back and loads of people mocked the doom sayers.

What is complicating the current ingress to Taurus is Saturn's trine to Uranus, that plays out across the transition till early Sept 2018.

Is Saturn holding Uranus's hand so the upheaval is limited, or will the upheaval of Taurus be even worse when Saturn leaves Uranus?

But Uranus still has 6 months till March 2019 to complete the ingress.

What'll happen in the late Summer of next year is that all the Governments and Central Banks will be congratulating themselves on preventing another Crash, but come early 2019 when Uranus finally sets of to complete the journey we'll hold our breaths as to what is coming to Wealth storage.

In the 1930s Uranus moving onto Taurus did the same On Off Dance. Uranus crossed the 27? line around the 1st July 1933 but it wasn't till April 1935 that it was permanently in Taurus. Even in 1936 it crept back very close to returning to Aries.

So the ingress varies in length.

PS Now in this Predictions game making these Calls right is how you make the big money.

Will the transition to Taurus be smooth ?

Will Uranus totally upset Taurus ?

Will a good job be made of smoothing the transition within reason ?

Could we argue the latter ?

At the risk of re-activating the Taurus debate, I just want to add my view.#

Taurus is about agriculture but ( aside from the modern association with the second house) this does not preclude financial issues entirely.

Taurus is a fixed sign, it is therefore accumulative. Land and property are long term assets which generate steady (or steadyish) income. Taurus likes this security and continuity as much as it likes the land itself.

I remember well the first Sunday Times Rich Lists back around 1990 when a large proportion of those listed had inherited their wealth and were landowners. A disproportionate number of them were Taureans.

So following from this Taurus will like other forms of steady income producing assets. However currency is a different matter altogether: it's primary purpose is to trade not to hold as investment(*), so currency is far more likely to be associated with air or mutable signs.

That said, Uranus going into Taurus is likely to disrupt wealth in the form of land, property and other long term income generators. And as it will square and oppose the other fixed signs this will extend to gold (leo), insurance (scorpio) and crypto currencies( aquarius) so far as these are held as Investments to make money rather than as currency for trading.


(*) yes it is described as a store of value, but this is only to store the value between the trade when you receive it and the one where you spend it. It is NOT an investment per se.

# luckily I am just about to go off grid for 2 weeks so won't be around to see whether it all kicks off again!

According to Ray Merriman
" Stocks ruled by Taurus include Banks, financial institutions and investment management, holding companies, packaging and containers.

Amelia,

For me Taurus is all about feeling Secure and Comfortable, and personally when I've got plenty of money in the Bank that's how I feel. It is No 1.

However, if rules begin to appear that control the use or value of that money I have in the Bank then I'd begin to look for other ways of storing my Wealth.

Gold ?

I think the Cyrptos have grown up because the Criminals we getting squeezed on laundering and then also all the QE made people worry about their own Currencies.

The USA owes what $T30 and the ECB owns 40% of the EU's Debt. Japan has massive Debts and the UK too.

I think it is all about Wealth Storage which I think is Taurus, and then we have Uranus entering which should bring new and revolutionary and technological ideas.

The question people need to follow is what happens after Saturn lets Uranus's hand go in the Autumn of 2018.

Will we/ Uranus have made a smooth transition ? What happens when the World realises that Uranus is free in Taurus ? Upheaval ?

Because the 2008 Crash was really all about Pluto transiting into Capricorn from Sagittarius.

Uranus is up there too.

Uranus, that well-know planet of trade and commerce is about to move into the sign that's apparently famed for it's connection to trade and commerce, Taurus.

Why then, are there so many stories of genetic mutation in animals and crops in the news nowadays?

Because you read boring articles, perhaps.

Taurus has many forms, we may see a breakthrough in throat cancer, innovative gardens, a few animal diseases, new currencies and many more, it will evolve in more than 1 form.

Even if you break Taurus up into the 3 decans, Venus Mercury singing, Venus Mercury Gardener, Venus Saturn banker, only a small part of Taurus will relate animal/crop genetics,
unless you are suggesting that all Taureans are genetic farmers

Because you read boring articles, perhaps.

Probably.

But I've just read that "Cheshire's most eligible bachelor 2013" wants to own a farm one day.

Final question Professor

What is the ruling Planet of Taurus?

wants to own a farm one day.

That's why I'm invested in Cryptocurrencies, its paying for my 1st Acre.
