USA
2015-2016: During this time, transiting Pluto (major transformation, life-death, rebirth, [nuclear] power, dictatorship, terrorism, violence, etc.) will form a tense square aspect to Saturn in the US chart, where it sits in the 10th house and rules the 2nd. The 2nd house relates to financial matters and banks, while the 10th is the house of government and large corporations (for expanded meaning of houses in mundane astrology see http://www.moonvalleyastrologer.com/the-houses-in-mundane-astrology/ for example). Thus, we can expect a major change in how banks and financial institutions operate and save their profits. On the dates when the aspect is exact (listed below) as well as 1-2 weeks before and after, expect important events or regulations that put stress on banks and affect their ability to make or keep money. Since Pluto is passing through Capricorn, the source of stress/pressure will be government and/or large corporations. Financial institutions will likely perceive the events or regulations as drastic and restrictive (e.g., banks may be required to keep tighter control of funds).
2015: Feb 20, June 15, and Dec 24
2016: Sep 26
Jan – Feb 2015: Increased probability of unexpected and likely distressing events related to taxes, insurance, investments, banks, debt, interest rates, as well as international relationships (incl. travel and immigration), higher education, and publishing. The types of events include sudden start or ending of a project/relationship, passing of an unexpected ruling, or even death of some leader. This influence peaks around Feb 1-2, but will be strongly felt 1-2 weeks before and after.
