Dormition of Ever-Virgin Mary: U.S. stock market tumbles today (Wednesday) on the Forefeast of the Dormition of the Mother of God (Orthodox, new calendar). First foray into financial side of astrology was a few months ago with new take on overlooked Vesta which is personally significant as natal Vesta conjoins natal Midheaven and garners fleeting feeling of endorsement for long lost calling as a trader (albeit zilch literate). Until then, personal interpretation of Vesta at Midheaven has been of unrealized inner nun. Or in UU moods (and otherwise nones), as a Frank Lloyd Wright type architect who would have emphasized interesting angles of light and hearths built from local stone.
