Universe July Full Moon letter

Published: Fri, 07/15/11



Dear Fellow Star Gazer,

A very happy Full Moon!

 This Full Moon has also been called the Thunder Moon. Certainly from the news perspective, the war of words is louder than usual: one might even wonder if 'The Times' newspaper here in the UK (aka the 'Thunderer') will yet be caught in the eye of this storm.

Rupert Murdoch was born as Vesta was rising in the sign of Capricorn - a clear sign of a trader with big ambitions. Astrologers will know that Pluto has been passing over this degree and will therefore not be surprised that the Murdoch empire is under pressure. That all this should have blown up so quickly can be seen by Uranus' right angle to his Ascendant and Vesta positions. Since neither of these planets move quickly, it is likely that this story has a long way yet to run.

I'm expecting more fun and games in the days leading up to the August Full Moon (13th) when shares in News Corp could suffer even more than they have already. I'm not sure that I see this as a buying opportunity though. If I were to be holding these, I'd think about enjoying any gains made since purchase and selling by close of trade on Wednesday, July 27th.

In preparing material for several talks scheduled between now and the end of the year, I've been looking very closely at charts for Wall Street. Two dates in August standout: both Monday 9th and Tuesday 24th could be particularly volatile. I am expecting sharp moves on both dates. Again, I'll be writing fully about this in the subscription letter.

This time last year I was writing about a Grand Cross forming in the sky in the early part of August (Moon-Mars-Jupiter-Saturn-Uranus and Pluto). Variations on this Grand Cross will appear several times over in the coming years. Initially, I was surprised that there was not more dramatic action in the marketplace. I am now of the opinion that there has been considerable manipulation but the cracks are now showing and that it will be at another of these Grand Cross moments when the pack of cards collapses.

For some time now, the Eurozone has been on the brink of financial disaster. In the subscription newsletter I have stated that the Euro itself would need to be redefined by September 2012. Reviewing the planet pictures of the next few weeks, it is clear that pressure is growing. The Grand Cross is particularly prominent mid August. As this coincides with other aspects - decisions taken then may be defining. This is not the moment for traders to be away from their desks! The July eclipse will be activated and currency moves could be strong.

Of course, it is entirely possible that this Grand Cross is having effect on the Earth's crust. Natural disaster - perhaps in the form of volcanic eruption - seems likely.

Mercury is retrograde from 3rd to  27 August. The particular degrees of the zodiac involved suggest this could be a time of high volatility in foreign exchange markets. It may be that sterling heads the volatility index - especially between 3rd and 7th August (please note, the echo from last year's Grand Cross on the latter date).

Mars moves into Cancer on August 3. If the past is anything to go by we should see the US dollar start to fight back around this date - though I'm not sure that this will be successful. The grand Cross continues through August and around the next full moon August 13, pressure may be considerable. I am writing more about this for the subscription letter, which will be mailed on July 30.

Quick tip for now, though: sterling could increase against both the dollar and euro over August 22-25.

With commodities, the cotton price could rise in the days between August 13th and 16th: again, more of this in the subscription letter. I'll mention silver here too: to remind the subscription readers that I am expecting strong movements in silver prices in the second week of August. I think it likely that silver will reach over $56 before the year end - most likely in November.

A few other things to mention: as you may remember, the webinar for UK property cycle was oversubscribed and I took the decision to record this and make it available through the website. I got rather carried away in the preparation but  it's now looking good and I hope to write to you before the end of the month to announce its availability.

I've also been busy making arrangements with two big trips: one to Toronto in November and in early January to Florida and Boston. My Sagittarian Moon couldn't be more delighted that these trips are on the horizon. I'm very much looking forward to meeting some of the people with whom I've had correspondence in the last couple of years. More details on the website soon.

For now,

Yours from the stars


Christeen
