General Motors just emerged from Chapter 11 Bankruptcy with statements by the CEO Fritz Henderson that the revamped automaker will be faster and more responsive to customers than the old one, and it will generate cash and repay billions in government loans ahead of a 2015 deadline. The big question is with all the changes that have occurred is the transformation of GM complete, or are there more difficulties in store for them?  When looking at the GM chart using the founding date of September 16, 1908 there are some astrological aspects that can explain what is going on.
The first aspect was when Pluto conjoined the North Node and opposed the South Node which began in January 2006 and will last until October 2009. Under this influence they are facing issues from the past in order to move forward in the future. These issues are the result from decisions made in the past that seemed like good ideas at the time, and the company to be prosperous for awhile; however, today we facing the flaws of those decisions. The legacy costs (health insurance and retirement costs) for the well being of the employees, and giving in to the unions to avoid a strike and maintain production were a good ideas at the time and help to make a lot of money for the company; however, the downside is now GM is not able to manufacture a vehicle that is cost competitive with foreign manufacturers.
The second aspect that GM experienced Pluto squares Saturn began on March 2009 and will last until November 2012. This influence will cause a transformation of the structure of the company. We see this with GM going into Chapter 11 Bankruptcy reorganization from which they are just emerging, but because of the Pluto/Saturn influence this transformation will continue. The good news it the hardest part of the transformation is over with and from now on the changes will not be as devastating as what has recently occurred. We are getting an idea of what GM will look like after the transformation is complete, and the worst of the transformation is over with; however they still have another two and a half years before the difficult times are over.
