Saturn is currently going backwards at the end of Sagittarius. When a planet is going backwards (retrograde) it’s good to be thoughtful, and get things sorted for when the planet goes forwards again.
I think
there IS a fated element that astrology reveals, in the sense that it is, say, next
month not this month that it is time to address certain things. But there is
also free will and neither contradicts the other, even though they seem to. It
is one of those apparent contradictions that is good to live with, it makes our mind
more flexible, more subtle, less inclined to need everything pinned down.

A report was
issued by one of the big financial bodies a few days ago, pointing out that we
had not dealt with the underlying debt problems that the financial crash of
2008/9 revealed. Western countries are just as indebted now as they were at
that time, and the response has been to keep interest rates very low, so that
debts can be serviced, rather than corporations and individuals going bust. But
it doesn’t address the underlying problem. Since then, this problem has spread
to the East. China now has high levels of debt as well.

This problem
of debt, combined with Saturn’s final days in Sagittarius, and the end of the
Jupiter-Pluto square, points to a correction to the stock market, which has had
a long bull run. In late August, Saturn will start to move forward into
Capricorn, and there is no stronger signature for a reality check than this. Saturn,
the planet of proportionality and rectitude and responsibility, in its own sign
of Capricorn.
It will also
point to the final economic outcome of the Uranus-Pluto square, which began at
the time of the 2009 crash, revealing the problems, problems which as I say we have
still not dealt with, only delayed.
As Saturn
enters Capricorn, it will begin to move towards a conjunction with Pluto in
that sign in 2½ years time. Not long. So the stock market check that is soon to
begin will not be temporary, it will be ushering in a major restructuring over
the next few years. In the UK, people are understandably fed up with austerity.
But we have been living beyond our means ever since the last Labour government
failed to control the banks, and was forced to bail them out at huge cost. Other
governments also failed in their job. But that doesn’t excuse our government,
and the Chancellor in the years leading up to it, Gordon Brown.
So there will
be a new economic order on its way as Saturn enters Capricorn and moves to
conjoin Pluto. Austerity is not yet over. The stock market will go down, and there may be a recession. These
things often happen in a panicky way. But overall I think it will be more of a significant
correction than a crash, because that is the nature of Saturn and Capricorn. And
the bubble is not huge: the Dow Jones is only about 25% higher than it was in
the bubble of 1999.

"...the last Labour government failed to control the banks" - this is true, but given the rightward march of the political centre that has gone on for the past 30 years or so, the very idea of governments and politicians trying to control banks seems like heresy, and would be duly interpreted by the media as crazed communism were any government courageous enough to try it.
No, before the banks can be controlled by politicians, and by extension by the population, I think a serious, ground-levelling structural crash would have to happen, and if the triple conjunction in Capricorn isn't enough to bring that about, then perhaps the entry of Uranus into Taurus in 2018 might help the situation along.
I don't think we've had true austerity in the UK. We've just had a limit on the *growth* of spending. We've still been borrowing to spend. The debt has been growing. Its just been masked by the clever political trick of talking about the 'deficient' (ie the yearly borrowing) rather than the accumulated debt. I think the main problem is that there are enough people in the country who just want to stick their head in the sand and won't accept that we're living beyond our means. Its politically impossible for any government to have done the things that would genuinely have got us out of this hole.
So, as ever, if we won't consciously face up to something, we'll instead meet it as fate.
much appreciated, barry
Since the mid-2010's people have been predicting the crash, astrologers as well as financial advisors. All wrong so far. It's the combination of Saturn conjunct Pluto as you said, end 2019/early 2020, right through to the next Saturn=Pluto square in 2021 that will bring the major corrective cycle. my credentials: I predicted the exact day of the October 6, 2008 crash, published it on the net 9 months before the event. proof - luckydays.tv/stock_markets.html
