The Dragon’s Debt pinpoints specific time periods when debt burdens within China are likely to affect global markets and gives scenarios of how a financial and political crisis will unfold.The Saturn-Pluto configuration in Capricorn of late 2019 and 2020 will have a profound effect on China and the Chinese Communist Party. This configuration was last formed in 1284, ushering in a time of financial crisis and social upheaval across Europe over the following decades. Marie Schoeppel shows how this configuration affects China’s corporate debt, property market and currency in particular, with its effects spreading across the global financial system.At the same time, China will experience a cluster of the same influences that slammed the currencies of Southeast Asia and Russia in 1997-1998, collapsed the British pound in 1992, and deflated the currencies and economies of Brazil and Mexico in the 1980’s. For those who use astrology to trade the markets, this crisis in China offers the trading opportunity of a lifetime.Highlights of the Book•How the Saturn-Pluto configuration in Capricorn of late 2019 and 2020 affects the financial and political systems of China and the leadership of the Chinese Communist Party.•Separate chapters devoted to analyses of severe currency devaluations in the last half of the 20th century, deriving a set of astrological conditions found to indicate such devaluations. •Timeframes and specific dates from 2019 through 2022 when China will experience a cluster of these same astrological conditions.•A detailed trader’s timeline (in its own chapter, with no astrological jargon) that gives specific dates when debt burdens within China are likely to affect global markets and gives precise scenarios of how a financial and political crisis will unfold. •75 charts illustrating the astrological configurations involving national natal charts, secondary progressions, and transits.
