Money and Astrology

THE question of just what astrological indicators are pertinent arises.
Traditional astrologers, relying strongly on signs and ome cases concepts such as "rulerships", advocated quite simply ruled money, Taurus ruled the second house, Venus ruled Taurus, nus was the money planet.

Twentieth- and Twenty-first century midpoint astrologers were among the first to point us in another, more reliable direction. Midpoint astrologers, generally, lay aside the sentimental assumptions of astrological history and simply seek t o see what the planets alone indicate here and now. By using mathematically-pre cise midpoints and narrow orbs for significant angular relationships, called "as pects" in classical astrology, and "clusters" by Uranian astrologers today, they found that Jupiter was a primary money indicator, and that the Jupiter.Pluto co mbination was often a focal point in terms of large-scale wealth. This was poin ted out not only in Hamburg School literature, but also in derivative Cosmobiolo gical texts (and amply illustrated in Reinhold Ebertin's Rapid and Reliable Anal ysis). Uranian astrologers, advocates of the more recent developments in Hambur g School astrology, have long been using transneptunian planetary factors in the ir work (even before the Hubble Space telescope began verifying beyond doubt the presence of transneptunian planetary bodies), and would further consider the tr ansneptunian Apollon to indicate large quantities or abundance, and to relate to commerce. As today's global socio-political system revolves more and more around financial issues and accumulated wealth, it is interesting to look at the charts of peopl e of today and of the last century who most probably have a much stronger impact on today's world economy than most people realize, through massive wealth. The first individual whose chart we look at was once described as "the wealthies t man in the world" according to the 2002 edition of the Encyclopaedia Britannic a. You might guess such names as John D Rockefeller, Howard Hughes, or Henry F ord. The list most people would compile would likely never mention this person 's name. This man, however, was at one time the largest real estate proprietor in the most populous nation on Earth, the founder of the government-backed Cent ral Bank in his native country, and, coincidentally, the major funder of the pol itical party that held sway over that country for 38 years of the 20th century. During that time he held the office of national Finance Minister, and later of Foreign Minister. One of his daughters married the first president of the first Republican government in that country, and another of his daughters married the second and last president of the Republican government in that country. He was also the primary financial backer of the political party that put both these pre sidents into power. And when his party lost power to the Communist Party in 194 9, he took his money and relocated to the USA, in San Francisco, California. Th e man's name was T V Soong (also known as Tsu Ven Soong, or Sung Tzuwen). Other members of the South-China based Kuomintang party also came to the USA, ma ny settling in Washington DC, hoping to persuade the American government to help them to restore the Kuomintang party to power in China. Key Kuomintang officia ls became actively involved in US Republican Party politics. Soong's son-in-law , President Chiang Kai-shek (Chiang Ching-kuo) moved his government setup to Tai wan, and much Kuomintang power and money transferred to Hong Kong and Singapore. The Kuomintang actively supported American war efforts soon thereafter at the borders of China, in Korea, from 1950 to 1953, and then in Vietnam, taking over after French withdrawal in 1954 and lasting for over 20 years, until 1975, as Ch ina continued to be a major focus of American foreign policy. The influence of Soong and his family on international finance and politics has by no means been insignificant. Let's look at the chart of T V Soong to see what planetary configurations explai n his financial power and influence, and how the local Ascendants and Meridians
of the key cities involved describe his influence manifest there. The birth dat a was found in Marc Edmund Jones's Sabian Symbols in Astrology, and could not be found elsewhere. Jones did not give his data source, and indicates that Soong was born in Kiangsu, which is a province (now spelled Jiangsu in Pinyin romaniza tion). The Encyclopaedia Britannica and Barnes & Noble Encyclopedia both indica te the city of Shanghai, which was part of Kiangsu province before it was given local autonomy, as his birthplace. Whether this is the case here or not, is lef t to question. To take no chances, we will first assume that the time is rounde d off to the hour, and was recorded in the traditional method. Chinese birth ti mes were traditionally recorded as "hour of the snake" or "hour of the rat", etc , and such an "hour" actually corresponded to a 2-hour period. 04h00 would be i n the middle of the "hour of the tiger" (03h00 to 05h00). As a rule, the MC mov es approximately 1 degree every 4 minutes; thus the MC could deviate from the gi ven time by as much as 15 degrees either direction. In any case, we will first take note of pictures on Soong's planetary axes and treat the MC and AS as highl y speculative. We will still get much valuable and accurate information, since among the planets, only the Moon will vary significantly in a 2-hour period. ( At approximately 12 per day, or 30' per hour, Soong's Moon could vary by plus or minus 30 minutes of arc, or ).
