Dear Fellow Star Gazers,
Happy Full Moon!!
And hello from Costa Mesa, California where I sat on the International forecasting panel for the forthcoming US election. Though many different techniques were used, six of us – all different nationalities and with no conferring – agreed that the most likely outcome was that Hillary Clinton would be voted
in.
That said, I did explain that I couldn’t make sense of the inauguration chart (midday on 20 January 2017) and that I thought that was indicative of a non-event. You may remember that Reagan’s oath in 1985 was delayed by a day (apparently due to bad weather). If the 2017 event doesn’t go ahead, the reason may be very different.
I wasn’t alone in pointing out that Hillary Clinton’s chart is laden over the next few years. True, that could be with the burden of
office but it might equally say something about long standing health issues.
It was suggested that I look at Tim Kaine’s chart. January 20th is clearly an important day for him – though with the information I have, I don’t think that there are enough links to suggest that he will take the presidential oath that day. What is interesting is that Barack Obama’s chart for that day shows his natal asteroid Pallas aligned with Mars. Of course this needn’t be
related to the inauguration but it does suggest him being involved in ‘doing something – and, with Pisces involved – that could be for the ‘greater good’.
I also pointed out that a lot could happen in the coming weeks. The three planets Jupiter, Uranus and Pluto are locked in a tight formation. Jupiter does nothing in a ‘small’ way and Uranus and Pluto represent sudden upheaval. We could yet be amazed by the turn of events. This weekend’s Full Moon indicated shock
revelations. The next stressful period is in December – after the election but still showing potential for a political earthquake.
It could also be clear as early as the morning after the election when Mars arrives at the degree the Sun will hold at the planned inauguration that something is up. Will there be another major technical challenge - as with the chad incidents – or a variation on that theme? As always, we have to wait and
see.
What I don’t have to wait for any longer is my book. “Exploring the Financial Universe” is now available through Amazon. The first review copies have gone out. There are plenty of charts (technical and astrological) though I hope that I have written it in such a way that if neither is your thing, that you will still enjoy the contents.
Back in the UK, and as forecast so many Full Moon letters ago, the Scottish voice grows ever stronger. I
have little doubt that there will indeed be another referendum. It is probable too that as stated in my last Full Moon letter that Article 50 will be triggered around the March Equinox.
A key chart for UK PLC is for 1st January 1801. This chart has been under pressure for some years: a pressure that does not ease in 2017. The prolonged death throes of this chart include the present fall in sterling (especially in relation to the US dollar): a situation that is
unlikely to reverse for some months yet.
Many of you will know that I have concern about the period February through May 2017 as Saturn passes the Galactic Centre. If history repeats, then sharp falls in many indices are likely – especially in the Far East where Saturn’s passage through Mutable signs has witnessed difficult periods in the past. That said, these losses should recover with prolonged and sustained losses more likely from late
2018.
One of the big questions at this conference has been how best to be prepared for the rare planetary alignment at the end of the decade. The alignment suggests the need for major pruning and living within means. Presently it would surely be wise to ‘fix the roof whilst the sun still shines’. Top tip is to reduce debt and to invest in those items and services that will always be essential. That’s not always exciting of course - and it’s certainly worth considering
having at least a small investment in the industries and technologies of the future. Now that Neptune and Pluto are (roughly) a thirteenth of a cycle apart, bright new ideas should flow thick and fast. I will be looking closely at companies coming to market before the next Full Moon.
Key dates for strong market moves between now and mid-November include Tuesday 18th – Thursday 20th October. Then Tuesday 25th and Wednesday 26th.
Friday November 4th and Monday November 7th could see highs. Things then look set to turn a little volatile in the days leading into the next Full Moon. Yes, this is post the US election. As it happens, Mercury, Venus and Mars all change signs as Saturn and Pluto form important aspect between November 9th and 14th. Only experienced traders should attempt to negotiate these potential financial rapids.
Adjusting to Pacific
Daylight Time has proved a challenge too far for me. I will give myself an extra day before returning to my desk this week but please rest assured that normal service will be resumed as soon as possible.
For now,
Yours from the stars
