Hello dear list members,

 

Following the SAMVA USA chart, we can see that the applying conjunction of transit JUPITER, as 6th lord of DISPUTES, and natal 4th lord VENUS, the general indicator of the ARTS, is increasing tensions surrouding a WAGE DISPUTE involving CINEMA ACTORS.

 

The conjunction aspect will peaks around July 6th but remains in close or effective orb for the remainder of July.

 

Moreover, transit VENUS is now in the 12th house of losses and coming under the aspect of natal KETU in the 4th house (ruled by VENUS). This applying aspect would be increasing the tension fast and can lead to some sudden developments.

 

This aspect peaks around June 28th, but VENUS remains in the 12th house until July 8th.

 

We could therefore expect the strain from this dispute to increase in coming days or weeks but then begin to dissipate as JUPITER separates from the conjunction with natal VENUS.

 

Best wishes,

 

Thor

 

 

Cut! Actors' strike threatens to bring Hollywood to a standstill

 

By Guy Adams in Los Angeles Tuesday, 24 June 2008

 

Tom Hanks recently took a full-page advert out in Variety urging both sides in the dispute to mend their differences.

 

To have one trade union paralyse Hollywood was strange; two doing it in quick succession feels like carelessness. A threatened walkout by actors, which could begin as early as next week, is throwing major film and television studios into chaos.

 

 

The contract dispute, this time between the Screen Actors Guild (SAG) and their white-collar bosses, the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers (AMPTP), is causing what industry experts have called a "virtual strike".

Production deadlines for dozens of major projects have been scrapped amid growing signs that the SAG, which has 120,000 members, will fail to resolve its dispute before a deadline for industrial action on Tuesday next week.

Most major film shoots are now either being put on hold, or wrapping-up early to avoid disruption.

"No one is doing anything that finishes after 30 June, and nobody's starting anything now," one lawyer representing actors told The Hollywood Reporter. "This is the impact of a strike already."
