Good day to everyone on this thread. A tip of the hat to Otoh, who managed to get an excellent discussion going that combines two of my favorite things in this world: Bitcoin and astrology.
I do astrology readings on the side. Been doing this for more than a decade now. It is an activity that appeals to both hemispheres of my brain and gives me extra benjamins to put into Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies.
What I want to do is contribute to this thread a few experiences I have had with clients who frequently ask me about Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies. Whenever possible, I will provide charts to make it easy to see what I'm talking about.
http://i.imgur.com/HYJKkOQ.jpgBitcoin hit a peak price of $1242.00 on Mt. Gox on November 29, 2013. Shortly after the event, a client asked me to check if charts for that day had appropriate planetary symbolism for the event. I drew up a quotidian (progressed) chart for 12 pm UT of that day:
http://i.imgur.com/qGJF3Hd.jpgThe inner wheel is the BTC solar return, dated January 3, 2013, 6:53:39 pm UT, progressed to November 29, 2013, 12 pm UT. The middle wheel is the BTC natal chart, dated January 3, 2009, 6:15:05 pm UT. The outer wheel is the transit chart for November 29, 2013, 12 pm UT. All charts have been relocated to Tokyo, Japan, where Mt. Gox is headquartered.
As can be seen from the chart, transiting Uranus came into partile (within one degree) opposition to progressed solar return BTC Moon, which hinted at a refreshing change. This transit took on special meaning because it was foreshadowed by solar return BTC Uranus partile conjunct natal BTC Moon. A double whammy of Moon/Uranus meant a doubly pleasant surprise was in the works. Simultaneous to this, transiting Sun came into partile opposition to solar return BTC Jupiter, which pointed to a celebratory mood.

http://i.imgur.com/ihcGKn2.jpgOn December 16, 2013, after days of fluctuating between $800 and $1000, the BTC price took another hit on speculation that the People's Bank of China had issued a new ban on third-party payment processors from doing business with Bitcoin exchanges.

I have many more readings to share with the forum. I will post these on this thread over the next few days as time allows.
