Bernard Madoff Arrest
by Dorothy Kovach on Dec.16, 2008, under Financial, Traditional Astrology
Welcome to the new Blog on World Astrology Network. As many know, I am not exactly what you call a techno whiz. Anton has been marvelous in getting our website moved over. Hopefully, we will have many of the old articles, ebooks and links back up and running.
Notice that grandfatherly gentleman, above? Bernard (Bernie) Madoff is one of the founders of the NASDAQ. Doesn’t look like somebody who would bilk his best friends, fellow country club members, and some pretty big hedge funds out of a cool $50 billion dollars, does it? As Anne Woolner points out, in today’s Bloomberg, “ — Kind to employees, generous to charities, devoted to regulation of the financial services industry, Bernard Madoff was a much-admired man whose oldest, dearest friends are among his biggest victims.” http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=20601039&sid=aRkt3IRpzH0c&refer=home As above, so below is a time honored phrase to explain that the sky will reflect everything on the earth Today’s chart is to illustrate what it looks like when potentially history’s biggest ponzi operator dressed in his blue jammies, was arrested. When looking at charts, always look to the left side because it is the beginning of the chart. With Capricorn rising, Saturn, the planet of age, is quite fitting, for this refined septuagenarian husler. We see Saturn in the 9th house, but only 8 degrees from entering the house of the authorities, the 10th. Don’t miss the 4 planets in the 12th, the place of self undoing? Bernie had kept this game up through other downturns, but this one was so severe, that too many of his clients wanted their money back. The client is always the 7th house. His or her money, will be the 8th house. Notice the thing that looks like a hang man’s noose? That is the Dragon’s Tail. . Where the Dragon’s Tail is, drain and loss follow. The very opposite of the Dragon’s Tail is the Dragon’s Head. Notice it in the area on the right side of the chart? Hmmmmm…. Barry Ritholtz makes some pretty sharp observations when he says it is pretty hard to run a $50 billion ponzi scam. http://www.ritholtz.com/blog/2008/12/madoff-story-smells-funny/#more-12920
Given, that three of the nicest planets are sitting right there at Bernie’s own moolah house, one has to wonder about his ‘losing it all.’ You decide.In mean time, so that folks who visit will not be disappointed, I will be uploading some charts of moment, some, like today’s will be from, the news, and some from our marvelous list, Angelicusmerlin http://groups.yahoo.com/group/angelicusmerlin

Hi Dorothy … glad to see World Net is alive an well, you guys had me worried when Anton’s Right Ascension table disappeared 🙂
The two partile aspects are quite interesting: Neptune opp Saturn across the 2nd/8th axis and Mars sqr Uranus between the 12th and 2nd.
Amazing he managed to get away with it for so long; can’t decide whether I think he’ll keep it or not although I wonder if the police can hold him; Mercury ruling the 9th (courts? or is that judges?) in Sag in the 12th disposited by Jupiter in the 1st…does he escape justice?

Good Morning, Jane! Merry Christmas! How absolutely marvelous to hear from you!! I hope you and yours are well. I am still very low on the learning curve on this, but I wanted to have something up here, as we figure all this out.
>>>The two partile aspects are quite interesting: Neptune opp Saturn across the 2nd/8th axis and Mars sqr Uranus between the 12th and 2nd.< << Good points. I think this shows that he never saw it coming. He is Saturn, and with the two egotistic planets, Mars Sun conjunction in the 12th, with Mars so tight to Uranus in 3rd, quickly brought this house of cards, that was running for so long down. Now, the Neptune, is something, because did you hear that there is an article from 2001, saying, that his numbers just don't add up. Because Saturn, (Bernie) disposes Neptune, I suspect that Bernie, and they don't see one another (disjunct) what I can gather, from the exactitude of it is that old Bernie, really thought he could pull it off. He always had before. >>> Amazing he managed to get away with it for so long; can’t decide whether I think he’ll keep it or not although I wonder if the police can hold him; Mercury ruling the 9th (courts? or is that judges?) in Sag in the 12th disposited by Jupiter in the 1st..does he escape justice?<<< D I tend to see the 9th for justice, the angels and all that, but here on earth, I give the 10th to authorities. With Scorpio on 10th, we see Mars is combust, the SEC turning a blind eye. I doubt he acted alone, given the practicalities of running a ponzi scheme of such magnitude. Notice, he is in double bodied, so those that helped him, if there are such, may get away with it. Perhaps we could look at ruler of the 12th so placed in the first, as to mean the prisons system will be in his pocket, perhaps, if he is found guilty, he may wind up in acountry club prison, like Lampoc. Great to hear from you, Jane. 🙂

Merry Christmas 🙂 Doing fine, hope you and yours are all well.
I didn’t notice the combustion, good point. The SEC could easily try to avoid digging too deep; things are such a mess right now they may decide they’ve got enough on their hands. Also describes what happened to his ‘friends’; they got burnt 🙁 And you’re right, he probably didn’t see it coming, he’s been doing it for so long and by all accounts was well respected.

Glad to hear it! We are, thank you! 🙂
I think perhaps since Mars (the Gov) is coming out of combustion, what you describe is exactly how the Cox SEC worked. They literally looked the other way, when it came to Madoff. There were several complaints, stretching back to 1992. Also, Wall St & DC are ‘its not what you know, but who you know’ places. The US AG had to recuse himself, because his son is representing one of Bernie’s top employees. I suspect that Mars’ coming out of combustion, and heading into exaltation, that the Obama administration will make cleaning up the SEC, its poster child.

Hi Dorothy:
“Spot on” as you say.
And to add, using your recommended Table of Dignities,Saturn is in ‘Fall’ to Venus (Money) in the first house of Self. Also, Venus is square Midheaven suggesting that Money cut off his ultimate Pontifical annointing.

Hi Saparish (is this okay?), Sue, Sue, Caro, Johnnie, Reese and All,
Thank you so much for your encouragement. I am still on a stiff learning curve, here… I tried to send a more detailed reply, yesterday, but it went ‘poof’ and disappeared (Moon was applying to opposition Uranus). Saptarishis, I did rectify Bernie’s chart, using the methods of Jyotisa, and when I can figure out how to get a Vedic chart up there, I will share it with you.
Love to All!
Dorothy

I REALLY liked your post and blog! It took me a little bit to find your site…but I book marked it. Would you mind if I but a link back to my site?

Hi Dorothy,
Thanks for your reply. Unfortunately we are not so technically savvy so presumed that your kind reply would come to email id. If you have rectified the chart, would you like to share the details at admin@saptarishisastrology.com . A bit old fashioned here and would love to learn your rectification and if you can write an article on it for Saptarishis Astrology it would be great.
Kind regards

Thanks for your reply, as well. Not sure I follow on the ’email’ id, but I am not so technically savvy, myself. I will gladly send you my rectification of Bernard Madoff (not so mad Bernie). I did it in both western and eastern methods. Thanks for writing.
