Global: Sep 2015 – Dec 2017: Focus on oil, water, drugs, lies, religion, higher education, immigration, foreign connections, and long distance travel with a new sober/realistic perspective — the mood may be that these areas got out of hand, went over board, and need discipline/restrictions/regulation. Immigration control, control of religious ceremonies, structured approach to higher education, limitation on foreign currencies/connections/long distance travel, etc. This new perspective will strengthen over upcoming months and will remain till about the end of 2017.

USA: Feb 2015 —  March 2016 (esp. late March/early April 2015, and Sep 2015 through Feb 2016) — Major changes in international relationships. This is a very slow gradual change with the ultimate effect of dissolving old ties and alliances. In the process, there will be a lot of confusion and possible deception and disillusion (e.g., partners fail to follow through on agreements). There will be a strong spiritual or religious element to these ties — some alliances may spring up or disappear because of similarities or differences in ideals and vision for the future. Other important areas that will affect partnerships are common views/goals related to oil, healthcare, and water/navy. This week, this influence will peak around Sep 7.

Astrologically, this influence relates to the transiting Neptune (religion) squaring US Descendent (marriage/partnerships). It is interesting that the Neptune transit to the US Descendent coincides with the first ever Pope’s visit to the USA. The last time this aspect was in effect was in 1851-52, which corresponded with important activities related to the LDS Church.

USA: Mar 2015 —  Apr 2016 (esp. April 2015, mid-Aug 2015, and mid-Feb 2016) — Major changes in transportation and communication industries as well as retail sales (related mostly to web-based and electronic transactions, which require data transfers). This is a very slow gradual change with the ultimate effect of dissolving old ways of doing things (e.g., commuting, communicating, shipping, traveling, and buying/selling) and coming up with new ways. This is likely to involve dissolution and mergers of transportation and communication companies, incl. companies that process payments electronically (e.g., Western Union).

Other affected areas will be aerospace, telecoms, IT industry, electric engines, electronics, gadgets, and similar industries. The changes will likely have to do with oil (e.g., oil prices affect shipping and flights), healthcare (e.g., spread of some contagious disease affects travel), water (e.g., floods, rains, etc. affect transportation; travel by water becomes much more or less popular; new cable is laid under water; etc.), navy (e.g., there are some problems with or confusion about aerospace projects, island bases, submarines, ships that carry planes over water, etc.), chemicals/pollution (e.g., shipping accidents resulting in pollution or poisoning may increase), movies/music (e.g., developments in the entertainment industry will lead to reorganization of the media companies or push these companies to implement new hi-tech approaches for signal transmission), and spirituality/religion (e.g., some people’s beliefs will not agree with new technology like robots and autopilot). Ideological battles over new technology may manifest as increased arguments over what is healthy, spiritual, and how to prevent pollution. New controls to prevent infectious diseases from spreading through travel may be invented or implemented.

Astrologically, this influence relates to the transiting Neptune (religion) squaring US Uranus (high tech, sudden change) in the 7th house of partnerships, ruler of the 3rd house of transportation/communication. The last time this aspect was in effect was in 1851-52, which corresponded with outbreaks of cholera and flu.

China: Jan 2014 —  Jan 2016 (esp., Mar-Jun 2014, Dec 2014 – Mar 2015, Jun-Dec 2015) — Major transformation of financial system, approaches to accumulating wealth, investments, rates, taxes, insurance, managing stock market and any gambling or risky activities. Some governmental or corporate controls will be placed to regulate matters so that they remain in balance.

NOV 9, 2015 (MON): Medium influence; market may possibly go up (60%).

USA: Increased probability of positive news related to loans, debt, taxes, insurance, nuclear power, immigration laws, long-distance travel or transportation, and/or higher education. The nature of the news could involve improved communication or discussions about some agreement, increased sales, increased ease of travel/transportation, improved opportunities for transitioning between schools or applying to college, simplified application process to obtain a loan or file taxes, etc.

China: Increased probability of a power-asserting move by the leaders (of the country or some important entity). The move may not be welcome by the partners or put pressure on some agreement (to either reach it or to break it up). The move/decision may relate to debt/loans, insurance, taxes, and/or have some aura of secrecy (as in applying pressure indirectly).

NOV 10, 2015 (TUE): Medium influence; market may possibly go down (55%).

USA: Increased probability of news about the workforce and/or healthcare. The nature of the news will likely be slightly negative or stressful — for ex., some initiative didn’t work out as well as expected, resources were wasted, something was overpriced, the returns were not as high as anticipated, etc.

China: Increased probability of mildly stressful news about the stock market and/or military (e.g., miscommunication, disagreement, argument, or disruption in some activity because of problems with communication/transportation).

NOV 11, 2015 (WED): Medium influence; market may possibly go up (55-60%).

Nov 11-12: Some new (possibly military) initiative involving aerospace, telecommunications, and/or high tech equipment, will likely receive greater attention than usual. It will probably receive support, boost, or at least will be in the center of discussions (e.g., whether to expand it or not).

China: Increased possibility of news highlighting some financial situation in a positive way. The focus will likely be on banks (how much they have in savings), real-estate (e.g., the value going up), food/farming (e.g., increased profits from these industries), or some domestic issue (possibly related to a union of some sort, balancing some situation, or the institution of marriage).

NOV 12, 2015 (TH): Medium influence; market may possibly go down (60%). Increased likelihood of a public announcement (at some conference or a large gathering) about a military campaign. This initiative would have a strong effect on the balance of military powers and ability to achieve a balanced/diplomatic resolution. The military solution may not be the most beneficial or successful at this time (e.g., it may lack the necessary intensity, there may be too much indecisiveness, parties may disagree on the nature of the union, etc.) Other possible events may include important news about athletes, Mars, and any sort of “macho”/aggressive leaders.

USA: On Nov 12-13, there may be increased news about overspending, overconfidence, or overdoing something — this may be related to long distance travel, immigration, and/or higher education.

China: Increased probability of mildly stressful news about relationships with other countries — this may be due to some negotiations not going well and/or negotiations involving too much manipulation/pressure (by all sides).

NOV 13, 2015 (FR): Medium influence; market may possibly go up (60-65%).
