Dear Fellow Star-Gazers,

Happy Full (Scorpio) Moon!

It may well be that the old adage of ‘sell in May and go away’ is linked to Full Moon is in this sign. It’s quite possible that the present ‘bull run’ won’t conclude for at least another week. Fact is that given the planetary picture involving the lunar north node, Saturn and Uranus, the general trend is still up. It’s even possible that new highs will be reached on Friday May 19^th.

Yet given the scale of global debt, the brakes will eventually need to be applied. As I’ve written elsewhere, my main concern is for the fourth quarter of 2017 and for much of 2018 when, if the past is indicative of the future, a downward trend should be apparent.

For those who are watching the markets daily, then before the next Full Moon (June 9th), dates to watch out for include May 29th to 31st  and June 2nd. The May dates should see a downward turn whilst the June 2nd date see a marked swing (though I won't be so bold as to suggest the direction in this letter). The following week with Mars, followed by Venus followed by Mercury, is likely not for the faint-hearted as this could be a truly active trading epriod.

I’ve been making clear to anyone who will listen, that an imperative should be to be as free of debt as possible by the winter solstice 2017. That date happens to coincide with Saturn’s arrival in Capricorn. Interest rates are likely to rise post this ingress. Even if they don’t, banks are likely to be even more stringent in their approach to borrowing, - making it very hard for those requiring cash support. Since this tough trend should continue through the early part of the next decade, being as free from cumbersome debt ahead of this ingress would be wise. I would urge all to take stock of their position and, where possible, have a financial safety net in place before the end of 2017.

Since last writing to you, I’ve taken part in what’s being termed an Eclipse mastery course. This is a six-week course presented by esteemed colleagues. This next solar Eclipse will be visible across America and has been entitled by some as the Great American Eclipse. I was asked during the panel discussion on Facebook recently whether or not I felt that being directly underneath the path of the eclipse would make the effect any more special. (It will perhaps be beneficial for hoteliers in many US cities!). Certainly being under the path and therefore experiencing particular alteration in the geomagnetic field should have marked effect on those particularly sensitive to the cycle. (Your personal chart should be considered).

However, if the molten centre of our earth is affected, it could be that there is earth movement thousands of miles away from the actual path of this eclipse so that I am not sure that it will only be those in the US who feel to be part of events related to this ‘Sophisticated New Moon’. It is an important cosmic punctuation mark. If you want to learn more about the course and what it offers, the link to the promotional material and enrolment information is given at the end of this letter. Any difficulties, please email me directly.

In preparation for my presentation for the above, I used an ancient timing system that yielded some interesting dates. The first happened to coincide with Prime Minister May’s shock General Election announcement. Another date from the same list was June 8^th – the date of the election itself. Some feel that the outcome is a foregone conclusion. Certainly with the election coming near a Full Moon and Jupiter’s station, there could be a landslide. Yet I wonder. The close of polls chart is curious. I am even wondering if there will be legal challenge to the outcome.

Today, May 10th also showed by through this technique: signalling the potential for shock announcement. As I understand it, the FBI Director has just been sacked.

Using this same technique it struck me that the Treaty of Rome chart (European Union) will be markedly affected by the August eclipse. The most intense pressure (and probable collapse of this Treaty) is indicated for 2024/25. This summer’s eclipse is exact on Pluto’s position in this chart – as will be the case for many born in 1956. This suggests the beginning of a period of regeneration. In the case of the EU, reviewing the cost of administration (as Saturn squares Jupiter in Virgo) may be paramount if they are to retain cohesion among the remaining members.

As for Brexit: that ‘show’ is set to run and run with the next crisis surfacing at the end of 2017 (and perhaps a contributory factor in financial brakes being applied in the UK – though not confined to that country).

As will be mentioned in many astro-articles, this coming eclipse ‘scores a direct hit’ on Donald Trump’s chart. Given other factors I wonder if he will be at the centre of a constitutional crisis in the USA. As always we shall see. I will talk about this in more depth in the events in Canada in July.

I am delighted to say that I will be speaking in Montreal on Sunday July 8^th ahead of the events planned for Toronto (July 13^th – 16^th). This will be a special event for me as it coincides with the centenary of my great-grandfather’s death in that city. A chance to make pilgrimage as well as speak on the subject I love.

For now am returning to the completion of an e-book for the eclipse course and my on-going research for an astro-portfolio of suggested companies and currencies to invest in. Will keep you all posted.

For now,

With all good wishes

Yours from the stars

Christeen
