The Moon is in a tight application to the square of Saturn through signs of short ascension which converts to a sextile. So dampening news (slow down of job creation) is given a positive interpretation. The Moon and Saturn are also in mutual reception, which adds strength and dignity to the configuration. Some consideration may be given to the fact that Saturn is ruler of the 10th house, dispositor of the Moon and located in the 1st house in sign with Jupiter. Both Luna and Saturn are in sign with the fortunes.

Markets world wide rallied. At its intraday high the Dow rallied 2,7%!!
