Dear Fellow Star-Gazers,
Happy Full Moon!
We are now just two Full Moons away from the last in a series of Blood Moons: a lunar eclipse on September 28th and already there are signals that all might not be well in the global financial scene. Though recent falls in markets in the Far East have not replicated in the West, and the crisis in Greece
is no longer prominent in news bulletins, from the planetary perspective, difficulties are far from over.
Early next week Jupiter and Saturn form an apparent right-angle across from Leo to Scorpio. With both retrograde Venus and Pluto part of a planetary picture with these two planets, financial matters seem sure to return to the headlines. A strong possibility is news of a banking collapse or that a country (not necessarily Greece) is unable to make a loan repayment.
True, as Saturn and Pluto are still in mutual reception (until mid-September) efforts to stabilise the situation could be temporarily effective. Once Saturn changes signs mid-September, the situation could be very different (more of that next time)
Later in August: in fact just ahead of the next Full Moon on 29th, the Sun and Jupiter make their first conjunction in Virgo since 2004. Then, the conjunction was at 29 degrees of that sign. To find the last
conjunction at 3 Virgo (as in 2015), we have to look back many years: to August 1932. There are, of course, many differences between the charts for August 26th 1932 and that of August 26th this year. Yet there are also links: in particular, Neptune will be almost exactly 180 degrees from the earlier position.
From July 11th 1932 the DJI rose sharply, declining after September 7th and continuing to slide for some months. We
could yet see a similar picture in 2015. Please bear in mind that this September could yet prove treacherous market-wise.
At this Full Moon, Jupiter is still in Leo, moving geocentrically to Virgo on August 11th.
Those born under Virgo might already sense drama pending. Jupiter rarely brings just one thing to think about. My own preference is to suggest to clients that they need to take on the role of Air Traffic Controllers: bringing ideas and
opportunities to land safely whilst under a Jupiter transit. This year I am tempted to offer that advice to all signs as the pace of change could be fast. Maintaining an eye on schedules and details will surely be wise.
Note that markets simply reflect human sentiment and that if there is quick escalation in prices in August, then correction is likely – most probably around Mercury’s station mid-September. If you’re not playing the markets, then perhaps the hot tip is to
be careful not to over-spend in August only to have to deal with a financial hang-over from September.
Currencies too are likely to be affected as first Mercury (7th), then Mars (9th) and finally Jupiter (11th) change signs. In the past, accented activity in the sign of Virgo has seen sterling experience volatility. For now, in comparison with the Euro, it seems set to hold strength – at least until Saturn changes signs in September. The
outlook for the Euro as Saturn transits the position held by Chiron (August through early September) at its launch in 1999, looks bleak. Of course there is far more to it than that –which I will cover in a webinar. This is just a brief overview.
I am sorry that it was necessary to postpone the summer webinars – but it was, I think, in a good cause! I have crossed the 80% mark of the book and should finish by end August so that the first webinars can then go ahead. Not so
good has been the in-depth look I have been giving to 2019 – 2023 which, if cycles repeat, could yet prove a torrid time across the world.
Am now looking forward to completing the final chapter where , so far, it appears there is light at the end of the tunnel. For the next couple of weeks I am taking a break from client calls whilst I conclude this work. I will be in touch with those of you who have expressed interest in classes and consultations
mid-August.
For now,
Wishing you all good health, good friendships love and the bonus of prosperity.
Yours from the stars
Christeen
