"Frankly, Miss Plackett, you have a slight overlapping of the lunar returns, but cheer up and this goes for all you Capricorns. You have Saturn conjunct Mercury, which deepens the mind, and you have Venus, the love planet in trine with Pluto, which really gives you the go-ahead provided, of course, the new earth satellite doesn't come along and gum things up."

Thus in 1930 - things were getting rough, and due to get rougher. The Era of Mergers stopped short; in their place was to come the 77-B reorganization. There was a loss of industrial mastery; a host of governmental alphabetical agencies would soon confront the business executive with a world he never made. But the technology of a newer era was all this time being slowly and inconspicuously laid down.
