Silicon Valley Bank - The Canary

Several recent celestial events have pointed to financial vulnerability in the economy. The recent Lunar eclipse at 05 Libra when compared to the Paris chart was square the Paris Saturn at 05 Capricorn as the transiting Saturn of debt at 12 Pisces opposed the Paris Sun of government at 10 Virgo. (more on transits to nation charts)

The sign ruler, Venus was emphasized as transiting Mercury opposed the Paris Venus and transiting Venus was conjunct the Paris North Node. (more on emphasized) 

The Solar eclipse had Chiron of vulnerability at the same exact degree to the minute as Chiron was returning to the Declaration Chiron. The transiting Venus at 04 Aries in square to the emphasized Declaration Venus. Venus was in opposition to the recent Lunar eclipse at 05 Libra. (more on keywords)

The eclipses were followed by the new Jupiter-Uranus cycle at 21 Taurus square the Federal Venus at 21 Aquarius with Venus emphasized at 19 Aries, the degree of the recent Solar eclipse and joined with transiting Chiron at 20 Aries to aspect the Federal Neptune of loss at 22 Libra and Federal Jupiter of banking at 19 Cancer. (more on new cycles)

Last year when Silicon Valley Bank failed on March 10, 2023, in the largest shock since the 2008 financial crises there were several things worth noting. (making yearly event page)

First of all, the destructive Pluto was only two weeks from entering the tech ruling sign of Aquarius and the banks' focus was on tech. That day all three Pluto involved cycles were aspected, the Sun at 19 Pisces was in opposition to the Uranus-Pluto at 17 Virgo with Venus at 22 Aries square both the Saturn-Pluto at 22 Capricorn and Jupiter-Pluto at 24 Capricorn.

Second, note that Chiron of vulnerability was at the same degree as the Jupiter of banking.

Third, Mars was at 23 Gemini and square the transiting Neptune at 24 Pisces to form a transiting square. A faster moving planet brings focus to a slow-moving planet like Neptune. (more on outer planet engagement) Mars had been stationary at 25 Gemini in October of 2022 in square to the new Jupiter-Neptune cycle from April 2022.

When Silicon Valley Bank failed Mars was only days from coming out of shadow from being stationary to again square the Jupiter-Neptune cycle at 23 Pisces. 

The Federal Reserve would blame it on mismanagement and the Federal Reserve supervisor's failure to take action, with echoes of the 2008 financial crises and 1930 bank failures.1 There are many banks at risk that have had a high level of uninsured deposits, (over $250,000) and risk exposure through a drop in value of government bonds and mortgage-backed securities.2 

On March 11, 2024, the Fed ended the program used to stave off any spreading failures. The sinking commercial real estate market can be a grave danger for many banks as empty office buildings lose value.3 

When the foreign aid package passed on April 23, 2024, it allowed the administration to seize billions of Russian assets to fund Ukraine that the Treasury Secretary was pushing.4 Within days Russia seized $440 million from JPMorgan in retribution that exposed the bank to nearly half a billion in loss for abiding with US sanctions in "irreparable harm".5  

Transiting Mars is conjunct the Jupiter-Neptune cycle at 23 Pisces whereas the Silicon Valley Bank failure had Mars in square to the cycle. Note that the new Jupiter-Uranus cycle from just days ago was conjunct the Paris Chiron of vulnerability as the transiting Chiron at 20 Aries was square the Paris Jupiter of banking in a double whammy of Jupiter and Chiron. 

There is also a double whammy Mercury and Mars and transiting Venus opposing the Paris Venus. This is a big deal, expect cracking to appear in the artificially propped up banking system.

The Mercury contact to the Paris Mars is not a quick transit, it is stationary to make a deeper impression. The stationary Mercury is a thirteen-year return to the April 27, 2011, Ben Bernanke commented on weaker economy. (more on stationary returns)    

Update: The following day after this post, on April 26, 2024, FDIC seized failing bank.
