Researching the Equinox by Ursula

Hi Kaye,

I have been practicing on a lot of different things, still think I got a long way to go, but ever since our discussion with Ted about the hypothetical planet Lilith, I have been looking at this planet. I wanted to run this past you to see if you think there might be something in it or if I am way of track.

I checked a few times when our index started going down and Lilith and the Sun seems to be in hard aspect many of these times. Also I got the book that Pat Hardy mentioned "the key to speculation on the New York Stock exchange" and checked out some of those degrees. Sometimes the degrees were on important parts, sometimes not.

I also googled critical degrees to read up more info about them.

Many of the technical indicators are showing a turn in the market so I started looking when and why.

This is what I am finding and wondering if the trend won't change around this time. Jupiter and Uranus no longer conjunct. would love your opinion.

14 march - Lilith 29 Pisces (29 deg = weakest point)

20 March Lilith conj Sun in Pisces at 29 degrees, I also read about a Moon Wobble (major environmental damage) when the Sun forms a T square to Nodes, this happen today as well. This is also the day of the Spring equinox, but it is on a Sunday.

The Moon will be at 29Virgo opposing these planets. (Moon in either Pisces or Virgo, can cause disasters that effect the stock market - same book).

21 March - Sun Uranus 0 deg Aries

26 March - Mars squaring Nodes = high volumes - selling.

Either a change in trend or a major decline for a few days. I have only looked at Lilith and what was around it not really any other planets.

Maybe I'm looking at unimportant things? What is your take?

My Take:

Lilith is an important astrological point and very little research has been devoted to the study.

My take is that the signs of change at this Equinox abound. The Super Full Moon on the 19th heralds a tremendous amount of earth changes. The Sun conjunct Uranus says capitalize on your ability to think out of the box. Uranus returning to Aries ignites the inventive spirit of everyone. There is so much to say about the 2011 Spring Equinox that my Spring Equinox article will only be able to cover about 1/10 of the changes we are about to experience. However, the markets anticipate change ahead of the exact aspects, therefore be aware of the favored sectors, watch for bubbles, and keep your stops firmly in place.

The Aries Point is important in every chart. You all are invited to share your astrological observations. OK? This equinox is a big deal.

Keep well,

Ursula

Ursula has been an Astrological Investing student for the past year. She is a trader living in South Africa. She had just enough knowledge of Astrology to see that there was a relationship between ups and downs in the markets and sky patterns she knew from her study of Astrology. She ordered the Textbooks, printed the monthly calendar (be sure to print March) and a few weeks later signed up for classes.

Challenge Find the Bubble

The Tulip Bubble and the South Sea Bubble have one common astrological signature. Jupiter and Uranus are in Aries.

2011 from March until June, Jupiter and Uranus will transit Aries.

This is the challenge: Find the Bubble.

Somewhere in the market place a bubble is forming. Could it be one of the 12,000 stocks listed on the New York exchanges? Could it be a whole sector? Could it be a commodity, a currency, an index, or an entire exchange?

History tells us that when Jupiter and Uranus get together in Aries a bubble forms and bursts toward the end of Jupiter’s transit of Aries, Historians love to site the Tulip Bubble and the South Sea Bubble as examples of foolish investors caught up in the euphoria of making fortunes buying a selling worthless investments. Simultaneously the Mississippi Bubble burst.

From January through June 1928 Jupiter was in Aries and Uranus transited Aries from zero to 8 degrees. No popping bubbles however the markets were soaring and ordinary folks were learning all about margin calls. Eighteen months later the markets collapsed. Since this transit is similar, it could be that nothing will happen and markets will soar while bears keep telling investors keep your stops firmly in place.

Jupiter has transited Aries a few times since 1928. Notable is Oct 19, 1987 when he made an exact trine to Uranus in Sagittarius. The Dow fell 23% and the S&P fell 20%. Jupiter transited Aries again from Feb 15, 1999 to Feb 15 2000. The peak for the Dow Jan 14,200 was 11,733 and the NASDAQ high of 5048 March 10,2000 signaled the bursting of the Dot.Com bubble.

Eyes Wide Open

Jupiter in Aries says open your eyes, snap out of it. Uranus in Aries takes the lid off the box and forces you to stop look and listen to your instincts. Suddenly every investor sees the same bubble and they scramble to the exit losing fortunes as they rush to the sell button on their computer. Will it be a flash crash?

Thousands of rules and regulations have been written to assure investors that bubbles will be discovered before they burst. However in the age of instant communications they could appear one afternoon and burst before daylight. One will be clever enough to make spectacular headlines.

Sector Please?

Maybe we could find some clues from the recent conjunction of Jupiter and Uranus in Aries on June 8, 2010. Summer 2010 and both planets made a two month foray into Aries. Uranus hovered at zero degrees while Jupiter moved all the way to 3 degrees before it turned retrograde and returned to Pisces September 10, 2010.

Summer of 2010 the Dow Jones Index average cruised below 10,500 .and remained there until Sept 13. June 10, 2010 Jupiter and Uranus made a conjunction at zero Aries.The Dow Jones Industrial Average dipped to 9816. Uranus continued to move forward through the zero degree mark and then turned retrograde July 5 and the Dow dipped to 9743.. Everyone expected the Dow to dip further. However Uranus moving retrograde kept the Dow steady hovering around the 10,000 mark until it finally returned to Pisces August 13, 2010.

I suspect that during the summer a bubble began to form either in one sector of the market or among several stocks. During the next month you will see that a number of stocks have increased more than 50% to date. Financial News headlines last summer did not suggest any bubbles were starting to form. Look for a migrating high that does not make sense.

If you have a good idea as to where to look for a bubble, add it to the comments space. Our prize for the best guess is cookies. We e mail the recipe.

Chinese Currency

Yuan as Reserve Currency?

With the G20 meeting the IMF has announced a plan that would make China the third-strongest member. The position will allow China to take more responsibility as well as greater power.

The North Node and Pluto are conjunct the Jupiter Mars conjunction of the chart for the Chinese Currency. Pluto has been near 3 Capricorn since 2009 and finally achieved its goal of bringing the Yuan/Renminbi as one of the reserve currencies for the world market.

The Yuan has risen 3% since July and over the past 5 years it is up nearly 25%. notice that in 2006 Jupiter moved across the Venus South Node conjunction of the Yuan and as it passed each planet through Sagittarius and Capricorn the Yuan gained value against the Dollar, Euro and Yen.

The transit of Saturn to the natal Pluto gave the currency power to its structure. It's Saturn return kept the Yuan on its path. Saturn moving to a conjunction with Neptune may provide the opportunity to allow the Yuan some flexibility with interest rates in China allowed to rise to prevent a bubble in real estate or stocks. As Saturn reaches the MC the Yuan should become fairly valued however that will be 2012. The Saturn transit will allow the Yuan to remain a reserve currency for about 10 years.

The IMF has made a valid decision as to the future of the Chinese currency and its ability to take responsibility for the value of the Yuan. But what about the IMF?

Currency Bubble?

Are we headed for a world wide currency bubble? Jeremy Grantham suggests it is a possibility in his interview on CNBC, Nov.11, 2010. Bubbles usually occur when Jupiter and Uranus are in Aries and that will occur March-June 2011. This blog will discuss sectors where bubbles might occur during the next few months. Charts for the dollar, and euro appear in The Textbook for Financial Astrology. Stay tuned to this blog.

November 7 Neptune Direct

Throughout the Textbooks for Financial Astrology I discuss the deceptions of Neptune identifiying its aspects to various planets as a Red Flag. These deception are usually very costly and cruel. The Sibley chart for the USA has the Moon at 27 degrees Aquarius and during the past few months Neptune retrograde has passed over this critical point. Neptune is now stationed at 26 degrees Aquarius and during the next two months Neptune will turn direct and pass over this point in the USA national horoscope for the final pass.

As Neptune turns direct it will reveal one deception after another.

Swindles will be revealed. Thieves will be arrested. Liars will be caught. One economic bubble after another will burst. And you thought the bail outs were enough economic chicanery for one decade. Neptune direct will allow its creative side to find excellent answers and hopefully allow the problems of deception on the American public to be solved.

2009-2011 The Bubble Bursts and bursts and b u r s t s
Two Big Banks J.P. Morgan Chase and Bank of America are part of the Dow and their charts are in The Textbook for Financial Astrology . Big Bad Banks and some smaller ones have deceived their customers and their investors. Not good for a business dependent on the concept of 'trust' The public has been hoodwinked by the banks and mortgage companies at every level. It is an impossible mess. The contract laws meant to protect the investor on both sides of the equation have been flagrantly violated.

Neptune's final pass November 2010-April 2011 means that the public will finally know what is happening and how various banks intend to fix their problems. The deceptions have been cruel to yield hungry investors looking at mortgage backed securities as a safe investment and average folks who wished to secure their retirement with home ownership. The USA Cancer Sun explains why these citizens cherish their home. This pass by Neptune over the moon has stirred the emotions of the populace.

A quick look back in history tells us that Neptune was discovered by astronomers in 1846 at 26 degrees of Aquarius, the position it now occupies. The previous pass of Neptune over the USA Moon stirred the emotions of the public in various forms of land grabs. In the USA Gold was discovered in California, railroads were starting to crisscross the country and the Mexican-American War was being fought.

Uranus and Jupiter in Aries
Maybe their transit of Aries will help the bankers clean up the mess with some unusual pioneering ideas. They are ready to spend a few months together in Aries. However, experience tells us that when they are together in this sign, ' A Bubble Bursts'. Problem is there are a lot of candidates for bubbles. There are 25 Dow stocks with planets in early degrees of cardinal signs. Currently the bond market has expressed an interesting in bursting its bubble. Next in line is the commercial real estate business, and right behind is currency, and agriculture. Almost anything could happen. Fasten your seat belts.

Breakdown=Breakthrough

Heliocentric chart for the Lunar Eclipse June 26, 2010

From the Sun's point of view this is the arrangement of the solar system. Note: the planets applying to squares, also the circle with the plus sign in the center is the position of the earth and the moon.

Astrologers are Scared Skinny.

Astrologers are looking at every chart for the next few months and there is no good news out there. Planets are swarming all over the early cardinal degrees forming squares and oppositions.

We cannot find another time when the planets have formed so many squares and oppositions in this short of a time frame. Some think maybe 1,000 years ago, others 10,000 years ago and of course they know once every 25,000+ years every aspect is repeated because of the precession of the equinox. The heliocentric chart for the Lunar Eclipse is very dramatic as it shows the earth/moon conjunct Pluto.

Speaking about the April 1986 Lunar Eclipse conjunct Pluto and the Chernobyl nuclear accident; financial astrologer, Arch Crawford explains: "Pluto “rules” nuclear power, debt, interest rates, and the use of force, say the astrologers. Maybe June 26 is the de facto start of the Cardinal Climax. On August 1, give or take a week, we’ll have the most five-planet alignments in perhaps thousands of years. Known as the “Cardinal Climax,” this is the meanest, nastiest, most challenging and most transformational of any planetary phenomena in all of written history!"

Here We Go

June 6-8 and here comes the first major conjunction Jupiter and Uranus soon to be followed by oppositions and squares and all sorts of major mischief from Saturn. The phenomena line up is incredible. The battle is zone is early cardinal suggesting something new born is about to arrive in the lives of everyone. It is supposed to be painful, but at the same time extremely exciting.

June 5th Spaceweather.com has a video of the first salvo in the battle where Jupiter is wounded by an asteroid. The second photo of the Sun demonstrates what appears to be the second salvo in the solar system battle. During the next few days we will experience the Sun's pain as the solar wind stream from these coronal holes flows in the direction of earth.

Question? What does this mean for the economy?

The usual indicators seem to say nothing.

History of the Dow states that it predicts the economy by six months. Therefore if we look back at the general trend of the Dow six months ago or December 2009 we see of the economic indicators generally moving up then down in February, then up again and now down and all within the 10,000-11,000 range. The conclusion would be that it stagnates.

The history of unemployment says that it is a lagging indicator. The percent of unemployed hasn't changed in 18 months. The conclusion would be that it stagnates.

The history of inflation is that interest rates spike. Nothing has really moved in that market for several years.

Question? What is going on?

It looks like currency. It is fiat money. It looks like central banks whose printing presses are spitting out nonredeemable paper. It looks like debts at every level of the world economy. No one is able to pay.

Back to the Sun

Solar flares have a tendency to break things electrical. Intense flares even melt copper. Previous experience indicates that when planets swarm they tend to set up conditions conducive to generating solar flares. Flares love to zap radio communications, kill satellites and melt electric wires. The activity could wipe out your computer, and mine as well as the world's merchants.

My article Sunspot Explosion 2010 in the Llewellyn 2010 Sun Sign annual explains the mythology and the history of previous solar events.

Are we ready for a breakthrough?

6/5/10 Listening to Coast to Coast and Katherine Austin Fitz discussed the economy in a 5 minute sound bite that concluded with the "bigger the breakdown the bigger the breakthrough"
