Dear Fellow Star-Gazers

Happy Full Moon!

Code Red: As you may well have read elsewhere, March brings the last of a series of aspects which, as expected by astrologers, has coincided with significant political, social and economic upheaval. Though the last of these aspects takes place on March 17^th, echoes will surely be heard for some time.

The last aspect occurs within days of a solar eclipse (19^th) and the Equinox (20^th). On 17^th, Venus moves into Taurus whilst on 18^th, Mercury and Neptune align. Then, on Saturday 21^st, there is a Mars occultation: all of which points to a very important week.

In the past, such concentrated activity has coincided with strong market movement.

On March 19^th, the Moon is also at perigee (closest to Earth). Of course it’s possible that this clustering of activity will have extra-ordinary effect on weather patterns or on the Earth’s crust – so natural disaster must be considered. This might not occur on cue: it could take some days for pressure to build. The danger period is between the solar eclipse (19^th) and the lunar eclipse on April 4^th.

The last pair of eclipses in October 2014 brought significant market drama. The Dow Jones index fell over 1000 points between the two events. The forthcoming eclipses could bring similar shocks and surprises . The question, as always, is the exact timing.

The days leading into the solar eclipse on March 19^th should be considered ‘Code Red’ though both today and tomorrow (March 6^th) are also likely to bring significant activity.

Post the Equinox (20^th), other aspects suggest recovery and, perhaps, new heights. The run into early April looks promising.

It’s then though that things could come unstuck yet again. I’ll write more about this in the next newsletter but essentially, I think April 8^th- 11^th could be yet another Code Red period – this time with focus on commodity prices.

War: The April 4^th lunar eclipse is termed a Blood Moon – one of a series that concludes in September. This series is noted for coincidence with wars in the Middle East. Whilst every day seems to bring news of atrocities, unprecedented actions could yet take place bringing further shocks and surprises and underlining the need for peace talks and increased humanitarian assistance.

Forex: As many of you know, I have a fascination with currency exchange. Intra-day moves here often resonate with planet alignments. This last week I have been looking closely at the Euro whose fortunes are likely to change. For me, this is unlikely before the Sun’s move into Taurus on April 20^th. This could be a significant date for the Canadian Dollar – I will cover this more in the next newsletter.

Graphene: Investment-wise I am still focused on Water – its supply and quality. To that end I am interested in graphene which can be used to desalinate seawater making it drinkable. Companies working with this substance could see fast growth.

Fashion: London Fashion week is just behind us. It’s been interesting to see how some astro-driven ideas have resulted in new fabrics on the cat walk. This weekend I will be developing ideas for probable trends Autumn/Winter of 2016-17. This is the fun side of astro-forecasting! By then Jupiter will be moving through Libra whilst Pluto continues its stately move through Capricorn and Saturn arrives at the Galactic Centre. Just how garments communicate messages will surely be a very big theme.

Several clients all asked for work on investment areas covering the African continent. So rich is the material here – and so much work required, that I couldn’t see a way of delivering helpful reports without at least a year of research. The cosmos as always, had a plan.

Following my recent (and wonderful) lecturing trip in Florida, I met a wonderful ‘fount of knowledge’ from Ghana who sent me a copy of one his dissertations. This, together with hints from clients, has narrowed the focus for research. Hopefully I’ll be able to offer a few comments about this in the May newsletter.

The trip to Florida was indeed amazing: from experiencing the Full Moon at sunset/moon rise at the top of the Jupiter lighthouse to an amazing trip out on the bay, it really was the trip of a life-time. Thank you again to all who made it so, so memorable.

For now, reminding you that the best investments are in health, family and friendship.

Yours from the stars
