Taurus New Moon and
the theme is Agriculture
Agriculture is the theme of Taurus, and the
New Moon is ready to give the farms too much
erratic weather to complete planting. The weather
will be the tale for the commodities markets.
Financial institutions fall
under Taurus and the New Moon will highlight
their difficulties and thus create a pessimistic
equity prices for some.
Governments and their institutions
are able to enjoy less pressure and demand for
service. Folks are pleased with their work and
unlikely to complain. Hospitals have fewer patients
and have time to improve their facilities.
Spending earned income
and rebates
Mars is busy forcing folks to work and earn
money. A tremendous amount of individual energy
is devoted to deciphering bank and credit card
charges. Folks will protest and change institutions
if necessary. Others are spending money to make
money. This Taurus New Moon I'm sure folks will
approach the IRS refund checks as free money.
With Mars in Cancer the rebates are spent on
home improvements.
Weather is a problem
From the east coast through the mid-west, dry
winds will not help seeds spread broadcast or
blossoming trees. Commodity speculators are
very busy. Their exchanges will make a good
profit.
Fourth house Saturn is in a
wide out of sign opposition to Neptune and at
the end of this series. Neptune represents interest
rates and appears in the ninth. The sub-prime
mess continues bringing in the final groups
of foreign investors. It continues to be difficult
for banks and investment houses to show a profit
and write downs continue to make headlines.
Pluto in the seventh
This appears to be an excellent forecast for
international relations and treaties. Protectionist
issues will be resolved and advantageous fair
trade agreements will be signed. Reality economics
is more powerful and the international trade
online will add to the reasons to clarify treaty
agreements.
Economic gurus focus
on foreign trade
Neptune is at the top of the chart and the focus
is on foreign trade. Oil is probably the number
one topic, but it is to the point of being impractical
and the paradigm energy shift is required. Businesses
that notice the required need to find alternate
energy sources will have the edge on successful
pricing power or pricing of power. Neptune is
in Aquarius and it is creative with things that
plug into electricity. Example: My Ranch supply
store has half an aisle devoted to portable
solar panels to electrify fences. Last year
they had three samples. Price points $80-$170.
My electric for fences, about $20 per month.
Management plays Musical
chairs
Every earnings miss signals corporate officials
and managers are being asked to seek opportunities
elsewhere. There is a need to change the governance
of companies since shareholders are unhappy
with results and communications concerning results.
This theme has been present since February.
Executive Search service companies will be busy.
Uranus is in the Tenth and insists on change
Dividends will be paid
Venus is in the eleventh suggesting that companies
will continue to pay dividends and many will
surprise investors who believe business is in
recession. Look closely at the earnings per
share history of any stocks you might choose
to buy.
Goldilocks has been corresponding
with Dick Whittington. His cat story enchants
her. Ferdinand lost in the Bull ring but won
his life and will return to the pasture. Goldilocks
can't afford flowers in Euros. Dick is looking
better every letter even though he is a politician.
