Happy Full Moon and Lunar Eclipse!!
PERSONAL
An interesting exercise is to look back to November 2003 when a similar lunar eclipse took place. Is there are a recurrent theme playing in your life? Though every eclipse is part of changing planetary formations, themes tend to repeat. Today's lunar eclipse, aligning with Uranus suggests patterns/habits could
be broken.
TODAY'S NEWS
The chart for this eclipse shows the Sun to be conjoined with trans-neptunian Poseidon at 15 Scorpio - the degree exactly between the September Equinox and December Solstice opposing
Uranus and both at right angle to Saturn. I anticipate market turbulence and, at COP 27, raised concern about the health of the oceans.
Uncomfortable truths are set to emerge in the coming weeks (yes, even more than is now the norm!) should emerge and more than one political leader find their position untenable.
Today is also mid-term election day in the USA. We are used to shocks and surprises connected with these events and should expect more of the same.
INVESTOR ALERT
It is now two years ago since I prepared an economic forecast for 2022 in which I stated:
‘Whilst the effect of recession and even depression could be felt across the world and investors despair that
their savings are dwindling, by the close of that year (2022) a turning point should be reached. Those cash rich and who still have investment or trading courage, should find the last six weeks of 2022 bring plentiful opportunity to buy in to the market at optimum price’.
Obviously much depends on your personal chart - and how you manage risk, but, by the end of the first quarter of 2023, Jupiter, Saturn, and Pluto will each have changed signs bringing focus to new areas for investment. My watch list includes Data mining, Robotics, Artificial Intelligence, Blockchain, Aviation (jet packs) and digital death services.
It may be too late to capitalise on the growth that should be
apparent over the next few months in Aries-connected stocks (military hardware amongst other things) but not too late to consider investment in Taurus stocks (Jupiter enters Taurus in May and does not leave until 2024). Even better would surely be to review the Gemini stocks whose prices should surge in 2 years’ time when Jupiter reaches that sign. As always, getting in early is key! This is where astrology has exceptional value. Through understanding of planetary cycles, it is possible to
determine which sectors will advance and which will be under duress.
Yes, it is true that Mars is retrograde in Gemini and presently accurate information may be hard to access. Yet there is high probability that soon after Jupiter turns direct on November 24th, that stocks (generally) will surge forward – at least until Mercury
stations on December 28th.
It is interesting that COP 27 is taking place this week as the Sun opposes Uranus. Whilst this aspect happens every year, it does not usually happen within a day of a lunar
eclipse. Expect this conference to have extra-ordinary impact and for the political repercussions to be considerable.
News from that event might initially be eclipsed by news from the US where the results on mid-term elections promise upset and further division. In 2004, when my first ‘Financial Universe; was published I included a chapter on the collapse of the USA. Whilst even now it
is hard to think of that great nation divided once more into nation states, it may be that that that is the only way forward.
With Jupiter’s arrival at the World Axis and Uranus in semi-square to it, and taking the position of the dwarf planets, the unthinkable should be considered.
Not that the USA will be the only nation that could be rent apart by political division and upheaval: the leaders of every nation are under intense pressure. Astro-history suggests present day planetary configuration to be a breeding ground for dictatorship.
MONEY, INTEREST RATES AND RECESSION
As has been discussed in these letters many times, the nature and form of money is undergoing profound change. By the opening of the next decade, the demise of cash and the growth of digital currency will be obvious to all. All governments must
have concerns as to how they will manage. Many are in the process of creating their own digital currency. China is far ahead in this with the USA not so far behind.
It is fascinating to note that two countries at the forefront of digital currency adoption are Malta and Singapore. The most recent charts for each show ‘birth’ dates in the mid 1960s when Uranus and
Pluto conjoined in Virgo. You can read more about this and my crypto forecasts in the Astro-Crypto newsletter which is issued at the Last Quarter Moon each month (next one due on November 15th). Pleasingly, last month’s forecast for Bitcoin brought expected results.
Interest rates have risen in recent weeks and theories of recession
presented by economists and journalists. It is probable that as Jupiter moves through fiery Aries (December 21 to May 17, 2023) that there will be further rate rise. Yet recession should be avoided - for now. There is a distinct planetary rhythm to these and the next is scheduled for 2026/27.
The October financial class received complimentary reviews and I will run another on Sunday November 20th at 15.00 GMT. The cost is £40, and places can be reserved by emailing office@cityscopes.com (The recording and pdf of slides used is sent to all attendees the following day). Content focuses on the upcoming month of trading, world events that might
influence indices and specific companies and commodities.
It was a pleasure to give a presentation on gold and silver trading
last month. Since doing so, I have added a few extra charts and will re-record this presentation this week. It will be available for sale next month along with a 2023 Forecast.
ENERGY
For now, priority is being given to energy- gas, oil etc. I hope to have both a chapter for the next book and a presentation completed before Jupiter leaves Pisces (December 21st).
As has become the norm, we have been beset by medical issues. However,
we averted a hospital stay (I hope) thanks to the quick actions of our super live-in carer and are establishing a good routine. Jupiter seemed to demand that I have new office space now that home has become a small hospital - a positive investment, I hope!
For now, with continued thanks for your many good wishes,
