Saturn In Virgo: Amid Market Turmoil, Some Journalists Try to Tone Down Emotion

Outtakes and various other sundries…

With Saturn in Virgo, I am not the only one very careful what I say. From the New York Times:

Richard Perez-Pena writes:

For most of the country, the financial crises of the last few weeks have offered an education in economics. For journalists, they have been a lesson in semantics.

Some newspapers reported on the pitching markets using highly charged language. Other organizations feared such word choices could contribute to the financial system’s instability.Each day presents new evidence that finance companies are uniquely vulnerable to a loss of confidence among creditors, trading partners, investors or customers. As a result, rumor, speculation and fear can cripple a bank with shocking speed. That has reporters and editors, so often accused of hyperbole and sowing alarm, parsing their words with unusual care…”

Thanks, Gen, for the tip!

Anyone else watching their mouth?

I was talking about this with a friend of mine a week or two ago, and yes. I’ve been very carefully choosing my words of late, and I think it’s by far for the better but it’s … well … weird.

*grin*

I haven’t been more careful about what I say, but it’s been harder to decide if I should say anything at all. *smile* I’ve got natal Saturn in 3rd/Virgo conjunct Mercury in Leo, so this is like a triple (or would that be quadruple?) whammy for me.
