Venus Direct

Venus Direct April 17,2009 3:24 p.m. EDT

Venus is now stationary and will hover at her station, 29 degrees of Pisces, until she turns direct April 17. Venus is exalted in Pisces and so she is quite comfortable and generally speaking making all of us feel attractive, confident of our abilities and actually nice to our friends and neighbors. It is a case of the world feeling like it is doing what it is supposed to do. Rescuing Captains, chasing pirates, letting leaders rant, and sharing the good news of Spring with the neighborhood. Venus in Pisces is very benevolent. Enjoy the moments.

Financial Markets and the Venus Station at 29 Pisces
In the financial markets a Venus station is the indicator of a reversal. Usually it takes about a week before the impact is noticed in the averages. If we look at the Dow Industrials, 29 Pisces falls in the ninth and the emphasis is on foreign markets and shipping. Folks abroad just can’t help looking at the Blue Chips and saying, it looks like they are behaving and some are actually earning money. Traders are looking at foreign stocks and saying there are some great opportunities in the emerging markets. Traders looking at transportation Blue Chips are saying, we could actually see some mergers. Maybe the shippers will find some economies by cooperating. Maybe if they work together they could eradicate pirates and bring down their insurance premiums.
? Other Markets ?
Techie folks at the NASDAQ are saying wait a minute, what about security issues? You all are looking at the world through rose colored Pisces glasses. The traders in London agree and say there is money in insurance. Remember that is how our exchange started. These traders start looking at the insurance companies that insist on high tech surveillance and say look we can make some money here. The folks at the Tokyo exchange agree.

Let me explain the charts I’m looking at in The Textbooks for Financial Astrology I have charts for the various exchanges. Venus will be at 29 degrees of Pisces for two weeks. In the Dow Industrials chart this degree is in the 9th house. In the charts for the FTSE and the Tokyo exchanges 29 degrees Pisces is the 2nd. Think about shipping and making money and who is going to make it. A short term trade is possible, if you are alert and watching April 21st when Mars and Venus make a conjunction. A long term investment would need a few passes of Venus over Pisces. However the return would possibly out pace government bonds.

This is a fun way to look at the overall markets. It only takes a few minutes to check the charts of the various exchanges. You are looking at the degrees of a planet’s station. Saturn will be next at 14 degrees Virgo.

OK Spring is in the air. Say nice things to your friends and neighbors. Take a moment to stop a smell the flowers.
