Easy come, easy go

Since its discovery in 2006, the SAMVA USA chart has been consistently tested with predictions for events far into the future. Amazingly, these predictions have come true.

The predictions discussed here have to do with the planet Saturn as 8th lord of easy gains and obstacles and endings in the chart. It is linked to both that which is achieved with little effort and that which is lost, in one sense it is a case of easy come, easy go.

Let's look at some of the predictions
The following predictions were made in late 2007 or early 2008 for things to happen in late 2008 and early 2009

More financial market volatility in 2008
“November 2008 until February 2009: transit Saturn in Leo H2 under aspect of natal Saturn in Scorpio H5. This aspect threatens a serious setback to easy gains and other indications of Saturn.”

Now, let´s look at what happened
Several investment scams came to light from December 2008 to February 2009 revealing the destruction of hundreds of billions dollars of assets of private investors and public funds. Investors were lured with their funds into schemes promising easy acquisition of additional riches. What turned out was the destruction of the assets entrusted to high profile scam artists. Moreover, a significant portion of the assets lost were ‘easy gains’ as reported in the monthly statements the investors received. One elderly couple told they "invested $700,000 in Bernard L. Madoff Investment Securities LLC, which informed them that their assets appreciated to about $1.8 million." Now they "don't expect to be getting any [of the money] back." Such revelations have resulted in a run on banks operated by one of the fraudsters. This is a tragic state of affairs for those involved, a quality linked to the 8th lord of endings.

On top of that the US stock market took a dive and more banks went bankrupt. In total, trillions of assets in the US economy have been wiped out last year. This was also predicted as explained in the articles More accurate stock market predictions and Crisis in the fall.

The following news stories report some recent cases involving significant amounts of wealth of private investors or public funds being destroyed in recent months, involving the evaporation of also what were thought to be easy gains.

In addition we should note that the recent conjunction of Jupiter and Rahu in Capricorn, with Jupiter ruling finance and Rahu ruling manipulation, was associated with a number of these frauds being revealed at this time. Also this has been predicted on the SAMVA discussion list.
