crimsoncurrentTen Trillion in Market Value Lost
We all saw this coming, if Americans put Donald Trump back in the White House - global disaster, of one form or another. Implemented on 2 April 2025, Trump's so-called "Liberation Day," a wacky tariff scheme ostensibly intended to bring back manufacturing to the US by making it prohibitively expensive to import goods, inside a week the ill-conceived policy had shed $10 trillion in value from global markets and spawned trade wars with China, America's third-largest trading partner, before Trump pulled the plug and issued a 90-day pause.
That some such mishigas would be the result of Trump 2.0 can be seen clearly in the inauguration chart, which sports Mercury (trade) opposed Mars (war), and a conjunction of Venus (finances) with Saturn (hardship, loss) and asteroid Donn (pointing the cosmic finger at Trump personally as the cause).
On the day the mass selloff began, complete with wild market swings as investors struggled to clutch at straws for hope, the Sun was trine to a conjunction of asteroids Liberati (for Liberation Day) and Plunge (for sudden, dramatic drops), and sesquiquadrate a conjunction of asteroids Markert (for "market) and Swings (for wild fluctuations), further fleshing out the picture of impending global financial collapse further fleshing out the picture of impending global financial collapse.
Celestial markers of disaster in Trump's own chart and that of the New York Stock Exhange collude to provide the perfect storm of the Mad King run amok, disseminating loss and disaster indiscriminately. With a 10% across-the-board tariff still in effect, and an insane 145% tariff on Chinese imports, it remains an open question whether a recession can be avoided in the months to come.

A Tale of Two Thomases
MASS SHOOTING + bank raid
Asteroid Thomas conjunct asteroid Requiem (named for the funeral mass for the dead) at the fulcrum of a T-square with Neptune (victims) and asteroid Lachesis (named for the Greek Fate who determines the span of life) suffices to explain the death of Thomas Elliot, murdered by employee Connor Sturgeon. Asteroid Connors, also at station and exactly opposed asteroid Gunn, with asteroid Banks squared Saturn (ancient lord of death) and Damocles (the looming threat) fills in the rest of the story.
Asteroid Thomas squared Neptune also evokes the deception routinely practiced by Justice Thomas, who for twenty years has failed to report gifts, vacations and real estate deals with conservative megadonor Harlan Crow, and income from his wife Virginia (Ginni) Thomas, totaling millions of dollars. Asteroids Crowley (for Crow) and Virginia were also at station, in trine to a solar stellium that included TNO Salacia (scandals), Jupiter (ethics) and asteroids Justitia and Themis (the Roman and Greek goddesses of justice).
