Under the Mundane Section I have a thread running on 'Skeletons falling out of the closet' in conjunction with Saturn departing from combustion in Virgo with the Sun disposing the Moon's South Node.

The News just hit the wire in Norway that Lehman Brother's, the World's 5th largest investment bank, claims bankrupcy. This should creat a riot on the worlds's financial markets today. This present financial crises has its origin in the real-estate market, ruled by Saturn.

The news of Lehman's collapse comes on the same day as the Full Moon appears with Uranus in Pisces. The first report was released in Oslo, Norway at 06.23 LST, which provides an ascendant of 18VI05. This puts the Moon at 20PI10 on the cusp of the 7th applying to Uranus at 20PI35. Uranus is within 2 degrees of the opposition of the Sun, which is an indication of destruction. Wait for the tremor as this one washes its way around the globe!

You've nailed this one, Andrew. Now AIG is also in the hot spot. Meltdown all around. Asian markets are affected; Lord knows what will happen here in England because of it. Barclays was thinking about buying Lehman and pulled out.

I must admit a certain smug pleasure in watching the mighty fall; it makes for interesting television.
