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.
