Moon in Leo, August 9, 2010 at 11:08 pm EDT Washington, D.C.

This is a Super New Moon, meaning
that the Moon is perigee (closest to the earth). Super Moons
usually activate the Ring of Fire and, in this case, the area
south of the equator where the July 11th eclipse was visible is
the most vulnerable. It is a time of super high tides and
earthquake activity or volcanic eruptions that may quickly initiate
a tsunami.
The New Moon appears in the fifth house and
promises everyone the opportunity to relax and enjoy the music,
the theater, the youngsters, sports events, gambling, and even
a flyer into the speculative markets. It is a time to resurrect
your hobbies and adopt a few new ones.
The
New Moon is unaspected, therefore it appears the public is oblivious
to all the economic changes taking place.
There are a few more scary aspects to survive, but we are prepared.
The past few weeks have kept us alert and restored our self
confidence. We have met the challenges offered by the squares
and oppositions of some pretty heavy weight planets. Nothing
can scare the intrepid readers of astrologicalinvesting.com.
They have filled piggy banks, made a few excellent investments
and our entrepreneurial spirit prevails!
August
14 Uranus returns to Pisces
(link
to Uranus in Aries article on the web site)
Uranus returns to Pisces for the next six months to give us the
creativity to invent our way out of the oil, chemical and pharma
problems. His deadline is March 12, 2011.
There
are so many needs to fill and so many things to improve. New
inventions are required in every Pisces sector. ( The
Textbook for Financial Astrology discusses what sectors are
ruled by Pisces.)
Some
sectors are phenomenally difficult, like content for the iPad
and the Kindle. Some will be very simple. Example: a glue
to keep the inner sole of a shoe in place.
Uranus
is ready to complete his Pisces assignment. It is your job to
keep an investor's eye open for the extraordinary work being accomplished
by ordinary folks who are finding a need and filling it.
August 16 Jupiter opposed Saturn
at 2 degrees Aries/Libra
This is the classic W.D.Gann aspect Victor Ledeboer explains in
his book, The
Master of Time, An Epos of W.D. Gann's Master Time Factor
The
aspect also has a habit of increasing Sun Spot activity. Spaceweather.com
is the web site you need to watch daily. You are looking for Solar
Flares that form an arc. These are the ones with the power to
kill satellites, electrical grids, and ignite Auroras. Weather
is a primary factor in all markets, therefore keep your investments
in areas where general needs are the greatest.
August 20-September 11 Mercury Retrograde
at 5 degrees Virgo (Turns Direct September 11)
If you can take a vacation, now is the time. If not, use your
days off for fun with friends and family. The usual warning to
avoid buying anything that costs more than $15. It is a
good idea to repair, read and relax. Lock you credit cards
in a vault and research all major purchases you plan to make.
August 21 Saturn square Pluto at
2 degrees Libra/Capricorn
The pressure is beginning to subside on some markets, but it is
still difficult to make money. Corporations are changing their
cultures rapidly. Many leaders are retiring as quickly as their
resignations are accepted. Earned income is a problem throughout
the country and dollars are stretched. This is the mid-point of
hurricane season in our neighborhood (South Louisiana, Houston)
We have been prepared for weeks. I recommend everyone consider
our lists. Double check your reserves and hopefully none of it
is required in your neighborhood. We had snow here last
winter. Local wisdom predicts winter snow is a sign of a difficult
hurricane season.
The
New Moon in the 5th house
(see chart above)
Schools are always in the spotlight at this
time of year and the New Moon in the house of children highlights
that sector of life. The discussions of children and their education
will be a major topic of conversation. Local tax revenues say
cutbacks are required. The unaspected New Moon says that no one
is willing to pay more taxes.
Speculation
in commodities will return as traders notice this market seems
to promise better profits. Also the materials sector of the economy
remains promising for traders looking for quick profits. (Please
be aware - commodities are a tough market to trade.)
Mercury in the 6th house
Mercury is thinking about organizing the work place. Office
supply retailers will benefit. Since many new employees
are forced to work on contract, they will be required to stop
by these retail establishments and purchase basic supplies.
Software suppliers as well as community colleges will also see
a demand for training in basic accounting.
Saturn in the 6th house
There continues to be irritating situations in maritime affairs
concerning the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico. Information concerning
the wells continues to leak to the media as well as the underground
and internet press.
To
quote my favorite book, Mundane
Astrology, by Manik Jain, “An important subordinate
may abscond with papers relating to the sea-enterprises which
give the ruler a red face”. There must be quite a few secret
papers and directives awaiting exposure by whistle-blowers. Official
bureaucracy will continue to be exposed for failure to perform
their tasks.
Venus in the 6th house
This position for Venus forecasts hurricanes and damaging windstorms.
At least one of these storms could stir up a hidden treasure.
Folks
who enjoy cleaning up messes will have little trouble finding
work and extra income. These workers need to vigilantly observe
the safety rules.
Mars in the 6th house
Summer colds plague the population. Nothing serious, but annoying.
Employment in the uniform services will be under stress. Employers
continue to hire part-time and temporary workers. Agriculture
will provide some temporary jobs. Employment in the transport
industries will increase throughout the month.
This Mars position will spark wildfires, and air accidents.
The
USA east coast will tend to attract hurricanes.
Pluto in the 9th house
In spite of the challenges presented by the squares to Pluto in
the ninth house, this month should be very favorable for the new
economy. The internet will continue its pervasive outreach
to the citizens of the US each day making it easier and easier
to do business with the world. Education will be forced
to rethink the focus of their programs and adapt most of their
classes to the new media. Sudden resignations and/or retirement
of education and religious leaders will challenge the boards of
these institutions to find replacements.
Neptune in the 11th house
Corporations continue to hoard cash. Most of the cash is
earned from sales abroad and they are not interested in paying
a double tax on it. Therefore, boards of directors will not increase
dividends or order stock buy backs. Many will suggest that
research is a better way to spend money. Shareholders will
not be happy.
Uranus in the 12th house
Folks are restless and impatient. They are easily distracted and
vulnerable to accidents.
Along with Mars in the 6th, Uranus in the 12th is also an indication
of wildfires as well as explosions. TV news prefers the color
red, therefore expect these events to lead their reports.
Jupiter in the 12th house
Scandal after scandal pours out of public institutions. Fraud,
deception and embezzlement are the usual problems, however many
clever criminals on the public payroll will have stories unique
enough to find headlines. Secret documents will find plenty of
space on the internet.
The July 11th eclipse on the USA dollar's moon will continue to
stress the public's disapproval of its value. The
Textbook for Financial Astrology Book IV will help you understand
the details of the problem.
