Easy Predictions with Solar Returns

Easy Predictions with Solar Returns.

The chart pictured above is the Solar Return for the Dow Index's birthday May 27. It will be 115 years old. For its 2010 Solar Return the planets were scattered in every house of its chart making every aspect possible. The Dow had a low of 9600 and a recent high of almost 13,000. Wild and crazy all over Wall Street. With a stellium in the 12th trine Saturn it looks like they will be cleaning up a lot of garbage and muddle through all the challenges to their authority. See if you can make a prediction. OK ? Then share your thoughts.

If the horoscope has an accurate time of birth then calculating and reading a solar return is an excellent way to find some interesting information about your year ahead. Four planets in the fifth house suggests I will have lots of fun in 2011. Who knows maybe I will sell some stocks and buy new ones. That would be fun. As a matter of fact I've already made a 10% profit selling one stock and buying another. After all my birthday was six weeks ago.

Corporate Solar Returns
OK the idea works with my chart and it definitely works with friends and family charts, but what about the charts of companies. One problem we have with very old companies is an accurate time of day when they were incorporated. Without a good time then the Solar Return is not very useful. However, companies incorporated in Delaware are given a time stamp and Mike Munkasey has recorded these times in his Company Data Base. Let's take a look at a few Dow stocks and quickly back test their Solar Return.

Boeing
Boeing had Jupiter Uranus conjunct in the second house of it 2010 solar return. They had a record amount of orders and tested their Dreamliner 787. In 2011 they are set to build a new facility in South Carolina and Saturn is in the 4th house of the 2011 return suggesting that this will be a difficult situation throughout the year ahead.

Caterpillar

Caterpillar had Saturn in the 4th house of its 2011 return and they are steeped in controversy with the high taxes in their home state Illinois even threatening to move. 2011 promises to be an exciting year at Caterpillar with 5 planets in the 10th and Venus in the 8th promising pending orders will be completed and money paid. During 2010 Caterpillar had a first house stellium in its solar return and the company became well known in the marketplace with its ability to sell earthmoving equiptment. Pluto in the 11th said the stockholders were very happy as the price of the stock went up 50% and their dividends increased.

Dell

Dell has spent most of its 2010 Solar return working at home getting its house in order with Saturn, Sun Mercury and Venus in the 4th. Advertising has been good with Jupiter and Uranus in the 9th but Moon in the 10th shows leadership at all levels constantly changing. 2011 looks a lot better with planets in each of the money houses. Their sales will improve and finally they will take new product risks.

The Textbook for Financial Astrology Book 3 has all of the Dow charts included. Dell, Boeing and Caterpillar are Dow stocks. You may even purchase just the charts for the Dow in a separate book.

Easy Predictions with Solar Returns is written for the charts of humans not companies, but if you read the suggestions for each planet in a house thinking how would a company use this energy it will help you see the year ahead for some of the Blue Chips you may own or maybe the company where you work.

Guess my 5th house Solar Return stellium is working overtime. This was a fun blog to write. If you are an old timer at Financial Astrology and the numbers are bluring before your eyes, take a minute and give the Inc. chart for your companies a Solar Return.

The New Moon in Aries

Read this New Moon report in it's entirety at www.astrologicalinvesting.com/html/newsletter.html
New Moon forecasts show the general trends and financial outlook for the month; here is what Kaye Shinker has to say for the month ahead:

New Moon in Aries in the 12th House
The New Moon concentration of planets in the 12th house suggests that public institutions are under intense pressure. Budgets must be cut. No public employee wants to lose their job, but lack of tax receipts insist that whole agencies disappear. Elected officials will be required to make tough decisions. These decisions will be made behind closed doors.


Mercury in the 12th house
This Mercury, while direct, continues to discuss laws concerning helping the poor/disabled and institutionalized. Opinions are forcefully expressed and stubbornly held.

The real problem is when Mercury goes retrograde in Taurus. The media on both sides of every scandal will discuss them, but no one is able to agree on a solution. Don't ask anyone to make a decision any further into the future than an hour.

Venus in the 12th house
Institutions and governments try to increase their budgets by asking for donations and grants. Some are able to increase their budgets and benefits. Parks and recreation will gain more receipts than expected since they are the least expensive of recreation options.

Mars in the 3rd house
Auto sales are slow because of Mercury retrograde. Folks are anticipating future machines with better mileage than what is currently available. Recreational vehicle sales are also slow.

Commodities markets have problems. Commodities prices are all over the place. News reports concerning weather will cause volatile grain prices. Erratic demand for metals will keep traders extremely busy. The underlying problem is currency and their floats.

Pluto in the 8th house
Pluto is at home in the 8th and happily collecting taxes and insurance premiums. Tax collections are higher than expected. The party in power takes the praise and the blame for higher everything. You may begin to recognize the cultural shift will in attitudes toward personal responsibility. Folks are considering new ways to incorporate their businesses into a desirable lifestyle.

Neptune in the 10th house
Employment continues to be elusive especially at the managerial levels. Creative and ingenious personnel is the need. Folks with the talent to manipulate audio, video and the written word in an attractive setting are the desired employees as advertising returns to the media. Opportunities abound for those behind the scenes and producing creative material.

Jupiter in the 11th house
Jupiter is rapidly moving to a conjunction with Uranus. 80% of their conjunctions have produced a high in the market. The same is true for transits of Jupiter to the Uranus on a Corporation. Therefore corporations formed during the 1920's and still operating on their original incorporation documents should do well during this transit. Dividends paid this month will be excellent and higher than forecasted. Double check your research and try a few stocks in the materials and machinery sector.

Uranus in the 11th house
Tech stocks have outfoxed us. Note the ones with cash on their balance sheets. (See the topic, "New economy? Stocks with cash and no debt" in the community bulletin board) They have survived this crisis and learned the magic lesson of how to do it again.  In the 11th they may chose to reward their shareholders with dividends. Unlikely,  but possible with Uranus the planet of unexpected changes.

The Spring Equinox, March 20, 2009

This is the chart set for Washington D.C.

In her report on the Spring Equinox, Kaye Shinker writes, "May you live in interesting times is an ancient Chinese Curse. Interesting times are promised as we work our way to the Summer Solstice and the planets move out of a very tight stellium and spread across the zodiac."

In her report she discusses what we can expect over the next three months from the point of view of this Washington D.C. chart.

Notice the 12th house emphasis. Whenever the Sun is in the 12th house it illuminates all 12th house things. In other words, as Kaye points out, "The Spring equinox finds the Sun shining its light on all things hidden." Read the report on the Astrological Investing web site...
