On Wednesday February 14th, the day after Sun entered Aquarius, as Moon transited in kendra to Mars, the U.S. Treasury Undersecretary for Terrorism and Financial Intelligence Brian Nelson stated that “terrorists still prefer, frankly, to use traditional products and services.” He said this in a hearing at the House Financial Services Committee, when prompted by a question by Republican Representative to Minnesota, Tom Emmer. Emmer had asked him “to be clear, Hamas is using crypto in relatively small amounts compared to what's been widely reported.”
This was an important statement because there had been a lot of false statements made by Democratic Senator to Massachussets Elizabeth Warren, about crypto funding terrorists, even after data firms Elliptic and Chainalysis had proven this to be factually incorrect.
Moon at the moment of Treasury Undersecretary Brian Nelson’s statement transited in almost exact degree-wise kendra to Mars, in Mars’s sign of Aries. Aries is where Sun is exalted. When Sun is powerful, I have observed that it helps the crypto industry. Powerful Sun transits typically create this type of regulatory news items that offer clarity and show that leaders are strong and well-informed, and bitcoin and ether respond bullishly to the confidence that that brings.
Mars was activating Moon, the consciousness, from the Pisces pada of Uttarashadha Nakshatra. This Nakshatra is known to give a longstanding or permanent type of victory, but only when it is acting in an ethical way, informed by intentions for the greater good. It is also ruled by Sun and for this reason represents the banking sector. Surya Dev rules the banking sector.
Mars Himself represents people undertaking types of warfare such as soldiers or terrorists. Undersecretary Brian Nelson stated “terrorists still prefer, frankly, to use traditional products and services.” Traditional products and services relate in the present day much more to the banking sector than to crypto.
