Greece’s exit from EU–what does astrology say?

Posted on May 24, 2012 by

Am waay too busy (& tired) for a truly coherent post, but I found it curious that some analysts predict Greece’s exit from EU on Jan 1, 2013. Astrologically, the date makes sense–actually, Dec 30, 2012, morning Athen’s time, looks like an important date for Greece. Important aspects to Greece’s natal chart will be fairly precise at the end of Dec.

Greece-democracy natal chart (07.24.74, 4:00am EET, Athens)

In particular, Pluto (transformation, death) will be conjuncting (joining of the energies) Descendent (relationships, partnerships) in Greece’s natal chart.Symbolically, this means change in relationships (if Greece were a person, I’d say they are gettng a divorce). The exit shd boost national identity (Jupiter opposes Greece’s natal Neptune-ruler of 10th house arnd Jan 10, 2013).

More fun to come for Greece in 2013 and beyond. :) A very cursory look indicates that March and May may be extra difficult for Greece (there’s plenty more in between & to follow later too, am just narrowing the scope here). There may be feelings of being oppressed by others (other countries)–with Pluto opposing Greece’s natal Saturn-ruler of 7th house during those times.

March will also see a square from transiting Mars to natal Saturn, while in May, transiting Uranus will do the honors… riots/violent outbreaks r more likely in March (2nd half, esp. last week), while May events (2nd half, again, looks “heavier”) may bring more drastic changes of sorts–some abrupt decision possible (if Greece hasn’t exited EU by then, May 2013 looks like another likely time)–and May events will likely have more widespread effect on the world (cos Uranus-Pluto square is more potent than Mars-Pluto)…

Stock market predictions Quarter 2, 2012: Financial Astrology

Posted on April 10, 2012 by

Ok, so here are 2nd quarter 2012 astro financial predictions (after Apr9; for Q1 and some notes on early April, see Q1 predictions post-n-comments). These are based on simple reading of ephemeris (as one would read music off of a sheet), no other methods were considered. This is not an exhaustive list, but what jumped at me as some key dates; the direction is my best guess based on previous market direction changes under similar conditions. For Q2, I also tried to elaborate on how strong I think the influence will be & how certain I am about the direction. [All calculations are for NYC, times are in EST; by “market” I mean mainly DJI and entities with similar trading pattern.]

2nd QUARTER 2012

————-

APRIL = Overall, may not be too bad; not too many strong bad aspects, but nothing I see that would drive market up strongly. Also, ongoing opposition between Mars & Neptune (1-2 degrees separation), lasting virtually all April, will likely prevent market from taking off.

April 16 (Mon): Weak influence, market likely going down, especially pm. There could be some negative news on Sun (Apr 15) —if so, some harsh realizations may dampen the mood on Mon morning.

April 23 (Mon): Weak influence, market possibly going up, mostly am. There could be some news on Sun (Apr 22) about IT/space/airlines/networks/communications/ commerce—these could influence trading on Mon morning.

April 30 (Mon): Weak influence, market possibly going up a bit.

————-

MAY = Overall, likely conservative approach to investing predominates; carefully evaluating all financial decisions; serious/long-term investments being more in focus; maintaining status quo or constricting/pulling back resources (especially, May 10-24, and within that frame, May 16-21)—that’s how I read the long-lasting/slow-unfolding Venus-Saturn trine happening in May.

May 7 (Mon): Weak influence, market possibly going down. On May 5 (Sat), there could be some sad news or news about lack/restrictions, unsuccessful communications. This news may possibly influence the market on Mon, but it’s also possible that the influence will dissipate by then.

May 10 (Thur): Weak influence, market possibly going down, especially at the end of day. Likelihood of some vague news and/or news about religion; there may also be a brief feeling of an inspiration, being able to deal with difficulties.

May 14 (Mon): Weak influence, market possibly going up am, then down pm. On Sun (May 13), there could be some positive news coming out that will inspire optimism and could spill over into Mon morning, supporting an up move.

May 16 (Wed): Medium-strong influence, am pretty sure the market will be going down/reach a low.

May 21 (Mon): Weak influence, market possibly going down.

May 22 (Tue): Medium influence, market possibly going up, especially am/at opening. There could be some pre-market news in am about some expansion or something positive, like some ruling, and/or international news.

May 23 (Wed): Medium influence, am pretty sure the market will be going down, especially pm/at closing.

May 25 (Fr): Weak-medium influence, am pretty sure the market will be going down, especially pm. Possibility of some news at the end of day influencing the market—something may be vague/unclear/lies/confusion.

May 28 (Mon): Weak-medium influence, market possibly going down. There could be some news on Sun (May 27) about IT/space/airlines/networks/communications/ commerce—these could influence trading on Mon morning. There is a small possibility that market will actually be going up a bit am, and then goes down pm.

May 30 (Wed): Weak-medium influence, am pretty sure the market will be going down. There could be some upsetting news, unresolved argument/fight, someone can’t work together/not reaching partnership agreement.

————-

JUNE = Overall, pretty much a down month for the market; greater than usual likelihood of bad weather and/or some disaster even—likely related to nuclear power/radioactivity/energy and floods (separately or together).

June 1 (Fr): Weak influence, market will possibly be going up. Could be a brief respite & good news day; at least, some increased talk about money—this may increase hope about more $ coming in.

June 4 (Mon): Weak-medium influence, market will likely be going down. Rather busy at the opening—possibly opens at a low (lower then closed on Fr). There could be some news on Sun eve that are rational and make everyone aware of how things “really” are—practical approach/attitude prevails over “rose-colored sunglasses.”

June 5 (Tue): Medium influence, market will likely have a mixed day. Mixed feelings may drive market up-n-down throughout the day, some decision may be reversed or contrary evidence may be introduced, or, there are both positive and negative news. More positive mood may manifest toward the end of the day.

June 7 (Thur): Weak-medium influence, market will possibly be going down, but may not be too bad. Or, it may not even go down—it could also just be that the volume is higher and investors are a bit more aggressive than usual.

June 8 (Fr): Weak influence, market may possibly be going up (or at least not falling down abruptly)—an easier/lighter day for the market. Alternatively, the direction will remain the same, uninhibited—so no special events and/or reversals, but rather a smooth continuation of the previous pattern (so if it was down the day before, it could continue down steadily, without major unexpected swings).

June 11 (Mon): Strong influence, am fairly certain that market will be going down. Looks like some bad news, distress.

June 12 (Tue): Medium influence, am fairly certain market will be going down. At 2:04pm—this could be a low point for the day, or, a reversal point signaling a sudden drop.

June 13 (Wed): Weak-medium influence, market will likely be going down.

June 20 (Wed): Strong influence, am fairly certain that market will be going down. Some negative news likely—practical/realistic thinking over “rose-colored glasses.” Although, the market may possibly go up at the end of the day.

June 21 (Thur): Medium-strong influence, am fairly certain that market will be going down.

June 22 (Fr): Medium-strong influence, am fairly certain that market will be going down. May not be as dramatic of a down move as on June 20-21, but market continues going down slowly.

June 24 (Sun): Strong influence, important day. Possibility of some really bad weather and/or disaster—[nuclear?] power unleashed/radioactivity out of control and/or floods/rain/storm—too much water!! It flows & flows & flows… Also, spirituality comes into focus—possibly some religious undertones to the situation (religious war? praying to stop disaster?).

June 25 (Mon): Strong influence, am fairly certain that market will be going down, probably influenced by [likely continuing] events from June 24.

June 29 (Fr): Strong influence, am fairly certain that market will be going down, especially am. Likely due to fear/concern about something (e.g., safety); increased communication/news about international things and/or religious issues and/or weather (water/floods/etc.); some optimism about being able to resolve this is also possible.

As always, check astro aspects (e.g., transits, progressions, etc.) to YOUR chart to see if a particular time is favorable for engaging in trading activities for YOU (or for your company, etc.). Above all—we are always in charge of our destiny, so ultimate outcome of any activities is up to us.

Greece natal chart–a few more observations

Posted on February 13, 2012 by

Given that transiting Pluto (major transformation/massive power/destruction-n-rebirth) and Uranus (unexpected upheaval/radical change/demanding freedom) will be making strong negative aspects to important points in Greece’s chart for a while, especially square and opposition, respectively, to Saturn (old/responsible/boundaries/restrictions) in 12th house of isolation (ruler of 7th house of partnerships/fairness/balance), I’d say the trying times will continue at least till arnd April 2014. (Btw, that month looks important for the stock market in general–could see a strong direction swing.)

There is lots more to be analyzed in Greece’s chart, but Pluto + Uranus transits to Saturn are noteworthy by themselves—they indicate major & radical transformation occurring through struggle (negative aspects) and restrictions imposed by its “partners” (Saturn in 12th house of limitations, rules 7th house of partnerships). The old ways (Saturn) about approaching how Greece enters into agreements with others [countries or entities] will need to be reformed. The lesson is likely about becoming more responsible (Saturn) about their commitments to other countires/entitites (Saturn rules 7th house).

Looking at the most immediate future, March 5 and March 23-25, 2012 (as well as a few days immediately preceding these) will likely be rather uncomfortable for Greece:

(A)   On March 5, transiting Uranus will square Venus (money/pleasures) in 12th (rules 11th–social groups).

(B)   On March 23-25, tr. Uranus will oppose Pluto+Moon conjunction in 4th house of home/domestic issues(Pluto rules 5th house of creativity-n-fun, Moon rules 1st house of self-identity and symbolizes nurturing, including via food & emotional support).

Basically, I’d expect spikes of rebellion (Uranus) and/or some unexpected sudden events that have to do with

(A)   March 5th:  Social groups (11th house ruler is aspected), such as restructuring of the party (parties) w/in the country or change in Greece’s status among its “peers” [other countries and/or group of countries] for the worse—so that it feels isolated (Venus is in 12th); and

(B)   March 23-25: Domestic upheavals (planets in 4th house are aspected) due to massive fear (Pluto) of being provided for (Moon). Pluto+Moon conjunction (uniting of energies) is an intense one and typically symbolizes a deep-seated fear of being annihilated by improper nurturing, or, “dying” because of lack of nurturing—so real or perceived lack of basics (e.g., food, shelter, etc.) is extremely scary. Also, for Greece in particular, since Moon rules 1st house  of identity and Pluto rules 5th house of fun/creativity/self-expression, the issue of country’s image may also come up—[some Greek] people may feel like rebelling, because they may feel  that Greek people are being asked to change who they are and how they express themselves.

p.s. The chart I am referring to is the one given by Nicholas Campion in his 1994 “The Book of World Horoscopes” = Greece-democracy, July 24, 1974, Athens, 04am EET. Great book–tons of info. I don’t make a dime, am just recommending.

I see it on Amazon http://www.amazon.com/Book-World-Horoscopes-Nicholas-Campion/dp/1898495017/ref=cm_cr_pr_product_top

p.s. Ok, here’s the chart, for your reference Greece-democracy natal chart (07.24.74, 4:00am EET, Athens)

Dream about accident, 10 people & monks

Posted on January 13, 2012 by

Not sure if this has anything to do with anything, but I thought I’d share a short excerpt from my dream last night:

I dreamt I was passing by a road where apparently an accident has happened recently (it was not scary, no one was stressed/crying/rushing/etc.; I was very calm & simply observing). Apparently, 10 people died in it; their bodies were lying around, moved to the side of the road, covered with white cloths. The number 10 was of some significance, but am not sure why exactly. I was surprised that so many people died, as the accident didn’t seem severe–there were no debris, no destruction, and no other signs that anything has happened.

My understanding was that a group of monks had organized some celebration ceremony in the middle of the road (because it wasn’t busy normally), and many people gathered. So, when a car came unexpectedly, many found themselves in the wrong place at the wrong time. The leader of the monks was in a wheel chair, and there may have been something wrong with his eyes.

In all, not sure of the meaning of this, but 10 was significant in some way.

Stock market predictions 2012: Financial astrology

Posted on December 30, 2011 by

Ok, so here are 1st quarter 2012 highlights in more detail & some important points to consider re the rest of the year (or at least through the end of Oct; that’s as far as I’ve gotten :) ). This is based on straight-up reading of ephemeris, no other methods were considered. This is not an exhaustive list, but what jumped at me as some key dates when market reversals are very likely; the direction is my best guess based on previous market direction changes under similar conditions.

1ST QUARTER 2012

January 9 (Mon): Greater than average likelihood of upsetting/unexpected news; may affect the market by sending it lower.

January 13 (Fr): Low, reversal up (the next trading day).

February 10 (Fr): High, reversal down (the next trading day).

February 14-15 (Tue-Wed): Low, reversal up (the next trading day).

February 23 (Thur): Low, but may not be too bad; greater than average likelihood of upsetting news and/or news about some military activities (also about weapons, iron, etc. things ruled by Mars).

March 2-5 (Fr-Mon): Low, reversal up (the next trading day). Likely some news will be expected on Fr—confirmed over the weekend (possibly upsetting and/or news that instill fear about restrictions/lack of money or not enough progress, etc.)—and may end up sending market even lower on Mon.

March 12-14 (Mon-Wed): High, reversal down (the next trading day). Likely a MAJOR market max for months to come. There may also be some reversal on the decision and/or follow-up on the news that came out over the weekend of March 3-4—perhaps more time is granted, something is postponed to further re-assess the situation, etc.

Week of March 19: May see more news than average (possibly ongoing communication about and/or the same issue from March 3-4 is being revisited). Market will probably be going down progressively, esp. on Thur-Fr (March 22-23).

—————————————————–

BEYOND 1ST QUARTER:

Summer-fall will likely be rough times for the market and there will likely be some worrisome news in other domains (e.g., weather; some other instability; accidents, incl. nuclear-related fears; etc.). End of May through end of Oct seems especially troubling. Specifically, some dates to look out for are:

June 22 (Fr), July 16-17 (Mon-Tue), and the week of August 13 (esp. beginning). I expect these to coincide with MAJOR market lows, esp. the week of Aug 13. Am not sure about reversals up right after—if there are, they will likely be not of great magnitude and/or short-lived.

 

As always, check astro aspects (e.g., transits, progressions, etc.) to YOUR chart to see if a particular time is favorable for engaging in trading activities for YOU (or for your company, etc.). Above all—we are always in charge of our destiny, so ultimate outcome of any activities is up to us.

Phobos-Grunt launch chart shows poorly aspected Mars–bad choice of timing for a probe on the way to the red planet!

Posted on November 17, 2011 by

As we know, Russian space probe Phobos-Grunt has “failed to depart Earth orbit” shortly after lift-off (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fobos-Grunt). Apparently, attempts to contact it have been unsuccessful & it may end up falling back to Earth in the upcoming weeks (http://www.astro.cornell.edu/news/russia-still-trying-to-contact-stranded-mars-moon-probe.html).

For fun, I took a look at the astro chart for the time of the lift off: Phobos-Grunt probe launch astro chart (11.08.11, 20:16GMT, Baikonur).

It is clear that whoever scheduled the launch didn’t check to ensure that Mars (fire, iron, weapons, action, engine, moving parts) was well-aspected that day. In fact, considering that the probe was on its way to Mars’s moon(!), it would have been highly desired. Instead, what we see is a very tight (less than 1 degree) opposition (tense aspect, push-pull energy) with Neptune (confusion, mystery, dissolution, drugs, liquids, oil, water, drowning). Further, Mars is positioned in the 12th house (end of life, isolation, prison, hiding, confinement). In addition, Moon (nurturing, feeding), positioned in the 8th house of what else—death :) , is in close opposition (1 degree) to Saturn (old, non-moving parts, steel, rock, rigid). Neptune is in the 6th house (work, service); Saturn is in the 2nd house (stable, rigid things).

At the same time, Mercury (communication), in the 4th house (home, family) does not have negative aspects to it. On the contrary, it is in a very tight [4 min] conjunction (merging of energies) with Venus (comfort, satisfaction, pleasure, ease) and in a lose [7 degrees] trine (smooth flow of energy) with Uranus (unexpected, astronomy, flying, computers, super fast communication), also in the 8th house.

To sum this up, although Uranus in the 8th house does indicate a likelihood of a sudden/unexpected death, it seems unlikely to me that the initial failure to leave the orbit was caused by the breakdown in communication. It is more likely that some feeding pipe (Moon) broke/died, perhaps because of an old/rigid piece malfunctioning (opposition to Saturn), AND/OR, some liquid (Neptune) can no longer get to/service some hidden/isolated moving parts or has flooded them (opposition to Mars).

November 16, 2011–likely an up day for the market

Posted on November 15, 2011 by

I expect Nov 16, 2011 to be a neutral (steady continuation and/or flat) or an up day for the stock market, as Mars (energy, movement) will be forming a positive trine aspect with Jupiter (expansion, abundance). Given that Pluto (massive power) is still in a lose trine with Jupiter, Mars will be tying this configuration for a lose grand trine in the earth signs (practical, down-to-earth matters= favorable for real-estate, farming, construction, etc.).

The energy of a trine favors smooth flow, rather than drastic changes. So, it’s not so much that I expect sudden positive news to bring the market up, but rather I expect fewer negative news, removal of obstacles and generally favorable conditions for existing positive initiatives to unfold in a more fruitful way.

Things should be moving easier and faster, in a harmonious way, with more energy and less friction/effort than usual (e.g., mechanical parts of an engine, new projects, travel, exercise, etc.)
