Contracts War

Bombardier versus Siemens

It has been announced that the Thames Link contract will go to Siemans and not Bombardier, sparking a row over why the contract was not awarded to a UK company. Firstly Bombardier is not a UK company it is like most large companies a multinational company and was founded in Canada. But that is not the point I want to look at today, I would like to establish why the UK government awarded this contract to Siemans and not Bombardier, neither are what you would call local businesses. It is the astrology which I would like to look at and so I took the charts of both companies and compared the Transits on the day the contract was awarded.

Transits for 16th June Contract Awarded

• Bombardier Incorporation chart 11/12/1995
  • Saturn conjunct Chiron -
  • Uranus trine Moon +
  • Pluto conjunct Mars -
  • North Node conjunct Jupiter +
  • North Node quincunx from Mars -
  • Chiron Quincunx Moon -
  • Chiron sextile Mars +
• Siemens Reformation chart 1/1/2008
  • Saturn Trine Chiron +
  • Neptune conjunct North Node +
  • Neptune trine Mars +
  • Neptune sextile Jupiter +
  • Neptune square Venus. -
  • Uranus trine Venus +
  • Uranus square Jupiter -
  • Jupiter trine Jupiter +
  • Jupiter sextile north node +
  • Jupiter sextile Mars +
  • Jupiter quincux Venus -

If you take trines and sextiles to be positive influences, squares and quincunxs challenges, conjuncts according to planets, then a simple addition of plus and minus will give the answer.

Bombardier -1
Siemens +4

Of course this is a very simple analysis and does not go into any detail, would be very unprofessional to present this as a conclusion. But is does show a very quick method of judging an outcome. It does however, beg the question what was the motivation for the choice.
