In April 1861 as Neptune entered Aries and transited America’s Imum Coeli (I.C.), the Confederates fired on Fort Sumter and the Union went to war. At that moment, tariffs were funding the federal government and with the Union dissolving into war, the Union changed the make up of U.S. federal revenue and they borrowed to fund the war machine they needed to build. In July 1861, Juno Moneta introduced Greenbacks, treasuries that circulated as money, and repayment was funded by the authorization of an income tax. In March 30, 2025, Neptune returned to Aries and three days later President Trump announced Liberation Day and placed tariffs on the world. In June, America had a surprise monthly surplus which came from customs revenue.
In July, the Genius Act was signed into law and it appears that Juno Moneta has introduced a new currency called stablecoin. It appears that the US economy backed up by its military is too small to be the sole backing of the reserve currency of the world.
All money is debt. At the heart of money, is the idea that I’m owed something by someone and this piece of paper, coin, digital mark says I can go and collect it. Or I can just give it to you for this good or service I want and you can collect it. No one ever goes anymore to collect the thing that backs the money. In the US in 1971, the thing backing it stopped being gold and became the “full faith and credit” of the United States. So our economy and military backs the US dollar.
Gold was too small to back the currency of the world and the United States made the US dollar the reserve currency of the world. Now it appears that the US economy is too small and has reached the tipping point where the rest of the world is now starved of currency. Without a solid backing behind it, printing more money didn’t fill the currency gap. The underlying backing hadn’t grown and just set off inflation around the world. The economic shock of the pandemic caused output to plummet. Printing money just set off inflation and the only people who benefited owned assets which hold their value relative to the money supply.
Juno Moneta has arrived to introduce a new form of reserve currency. Stablecoins will be backed by the American dollar but also other assets. That means stablecoin can be bigger than the US economy. Stablecoin is the 15° Gemini Venus in the seventh house on the Sabian symbol “two Dutch children talking”. This symbol is about exchange; the medium of exchange.
Ruled by the retrograde 2° Aquarius Pluto, the chart has wounded solar energy, Cancer Sun square Aries Chiron. The damage that was done in the pandemic has intensified the trend of young people not forming families worldwide, having children or buying houses. Cancer was badly wounded. The 6° Taurus Moon in the sixth house is on the symbol “a bridge being built across a gorge.” In this new Arian system, a new form of money is needed just as was needed the last time Neptune entered Aries.
