Summer has arrived - and its time for a vacation!

Mercury is retrograde, and that is always a great time to rest, relax, slow down and take a vacation.  Previous to this New Moon,  Americans celebrated July 4th  - the USA's Independence Day- typically a time for family vacations in the USA - a time for picnics, celebrations, and grand fireworks displays.

In fact, as I write this newsletter I am on a family vacation!

AN ASTROLOGICAL TRIP AROUND THE NEW MOON IN CANCER CHART

SEEING THE WHOLE PICTURE
A mundane horoscope for the lunar month using the longitude and latitude of the NYSE gives us a broad picture of the astrological landscape we expect to encounter in the financial market during the month.

Financial astrology is a useful timing tool that gives us a "heads up" on what to expect - knowing the potential energy how the market is affected by various planets and the aspects they make, in addition to what technical charts tell us, helps us to reduce the risk we take in the market.

Astrological Investing's Associate Randall Ashbourne's Eye of RA weekly report sheds additional light on the markets - I urge you to read these weekend stock market reports. They are published on his web site, The Idiot and the Moon, as well as on Astrological Investing's blog.

The week of July 1, 2013 is particularly informative as Randall discusses "The Dangers of Trines" !

NEW MOON IN THE SECOND HOUSE WITH MERCURY RX

Trade, money matters, increasing national expenditure, and legislation in Congress is the focus of attention for this lunar month. (Mundane Astrology: The Astrology of Nations and States by H. S. Green) With Mercury Rx, media may be reporting corrections of previous reporting on all these topics!

Markets are usually volatile during Mercury rx, so if you are in the market trading, "take profits too soon!" as Raymond Merriman likes to say. Mercurial Mishaps may occur to shake up the market. Stocks may suffer from false or incorrect reporting.

It is a time when normal price support and resistance lines fail, especially a few days before and after the stationing periods (when Mercury changes direction). Kaye Shinker always taught that usually about half way through the retrograde cycle you will see a change in the direction in the market only to return to where it started 90% of the time. Raymond Merriman says that "sharp swings of at least 4% tend to happen within only 4 days trading days , and usually within only 3 days of this signature." (From his book, The Ultimate Book On Stock Market Timing, Geocosmic Correlations to Trading Cycles.)

New Moon forecasts show the general trends and financial outlook for the month; below is some of what Kaye Shinker predicts for the month ahead.

The New Moon appears in the 1st House (refer to chart) Non USA members can set up a New Moon chart for the capital of  their country.  Textbook 4, page 30 of the Textbook For Financial Astrology, will help with interpretation the New Moon chart.  (Note the house position of the New Moon in the chart in the capital of the country.)

With the New Moon in the 1st house, folks are in a happy mood feeling very patriotic. They are sharing their experiences over the past few years and evaluating the changes required on a personal level. Managers are examining their business plans as they reorganize how they present their products/service to the public. Expect change at every level of the retail sector.

The Cancer New Moon is a Solar Eclipse at 9° Cancer
This eclipse is the beginning of Saros cycle #156.   A Saros cycle is a period of about 18 years between repetitions of solar and lunar eclipses.  The Wikipedia link gives an animated illustration of a Saros Cycle. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saros_cycle

It is said that events and attitudes initiated during the first eclipse of a cycle carry through whenever an eclipse for the numbered cycle reappears. In financial astrology we watch for a Nodal Return and expect that technology associated with the particular company will change thus a crisis in the company concerning new personnel or machinery. A new series means this is the moment of the paradigm shift we are expecting. Expect change.

The eclipse falls across the South Pacific hugging the Antarctic.

Venus appears in the 1st HouseSummer fashion is quite remarkable.  Folks are adding scarves and hats to add drama and change their summer wardrobe.  Wearable art kiosks will find new customers anxious to add a touch of unique to their summer outfits. Traditional retailers will find their customers purchasing the basic plain clothes with the idea of enhancing the outfit later.

Mars appears in the 12th House
Competition is hiding in the background ready to pounce on any weakness.  Mars in Gemini would rather talk and prefers not to be involved in any conflicts.  Expect warrior type behavior to decrease.

Jupiter appears in the 11th House
(Finally initiating his transit of Taurus, Jupiter will increase the supply of corn, beans, copper, and bling.  He will increase the supply of financial institutions as new styles of banking form start-up companies.  Private investing will continue to be the source of capital for new business.  The Internet is initiating various new financial opportunities for venture capitalists.

Networking rules the summer.  Folks are practical and will find opportunities to earn money with social networking as well as the traditional venues.  Businesses will continue to benefit from social networks, therefore new ones will appear. (link to article, Jupiter in Taurus)
