This is a very general post, as I don’t really have the time for any major research. The basic expectation is that the overall market trend will be down, especially towards Sep 29-30, when Venus (money) conjuncts (unites) with Saturn (restriction/conservatism). Considering some tensions around the upcoming vote on Palestinian status at UN, a cautious approach and a down trend wouldn’t be surprising.
Also, apparently, comet Elenin (or whatever is left of it) will be aligning with the Earth, Sun and the Moon on Sep 26-27. If this indeed has any impact (say increased earthquake activity), a decline in the stock market would be even more likely to occur.
As mentioned before, Mars will square Jupiter on Oct 3-4 (Mon-Tue). This is a signature for expansion & optimism, going overboard & doing risky things (this includes gambling, hence a prediction of a likely upward move in the stock market I made previosuly). At the same time, since Mars symbolically “rules” war/conflict, it may also signify an increase in military activities. Iron prices may very well go up on Oct 3-4, as Mars also rules iron/weapons.
Overall, the week wasn’t so bad, with DJI gaining 1.3%. As expected though, the mood was gloomier towards the end of the week, with DJI loosing 2.5% from Sep 28 to Sep 30, 2011.
