The Monthly inflection points

 

Predictions and why we need to focus attention on them as potentials and not fate

Quantum physics has finally caught "science" up with the real world and how it works. Watch the movie WHAT THE BLEEP DO WE KNOW. You will hopefully grasp after seeing it that we are co creators and what we focus our attention on MATTERS because this focus of attention is how creation works. Consider that as an individual begins to wake up to this new/old reality he also becomes a much more potent as a co creator. This is a very simple truth and is written all over the pages of the New Testament so this is not a new concept. "Pray as if your prayer is already answered" or something like that. The way I see current application is you have more responsibility now in how your perception interacts with the "matrix" of the mass mind the higher your awareness of the rules of creation becomes. 

The moral hazard for all of us is this. If you can see into the "future" .. that which is unmanifested" ...then you have to be aware that YOU can be an influence on the possible outcomes. This is where it gets very tricky for me. I "see" a lot of things that are in the "pipeline" because of the masses matrix mind creating it there. If I am not 100% tactful about how I report what I see germinating there I consider myself to be reinforcing it. And readers of my work over the years know tact is not always my strong suit. This coming year ahead is particularly difficult to report on for this reason.  Why I needed to delay posting my read about it is I am doing everything possible to report without being a reinforcer of the worst case scenario. 

As I see it from this time frame in 2006 maybe (hopefully) 2% of the population is aware of this "way the world works" in daily life. The 2% who are in the know are seemingly too small a group to have enough effect to create major change at least at present. That may be about to change in 2007. Either a larger group of awake people will emerge or or the 2% will increase their ability to create change. Something has to give. 

What I see going on in this world especially over the last two decades is the use of mind bending psyops and hypnotic suggestions attempting to control the awakening of the 98%ers so as to keep the number of people aware enough to catalyze change below a tipping point where centralized control of "reality" becomes impossible. Nothing new here because manipulation of the mass beliefs has been going on a long time by a combination of religion and oppression by fear but the effectiveness of it recently it is alarming. Over the last few decades the mass media has become concentrated and the amount of truth emanating from it is down to a trickle. The internet is now going through a similar process of being dumbed down. The sites that have acquired a good amount of traffic with enlightening content are constantly under attack. The amount of "noise" on the net which is half truths and intentional disinfo has reached a point where it frustrates almost anyone who does not have the experience to sift though it. These are challenging times indeed.

This dumbing down of the mass mind does not have to be an organized plot with the exception of those very few way all the way up at the top of it.   I believe there is indeed a group of elites who are very conscious of doing it. Most of the implementation of the dark side however is the result of unconscious behavior of middle level people who have a vested interest in making the world a slave state because they benefit even if they are themselves slaves to it.  They personally get what they want and don't really care about the consequences. They don't care to know the rules of creation themselves they simply understand how to manipulate the minds of others (marketing/propaganda) to their advantage. Ya you could call it "human nature" but to me this is simply an excuse for bad behavior. The more you wake up the more it is obvious it is that this world is chock full of self absorbed creeps willingly pursuing a self destructive path for short term gains while the bigger picture continues to become no win for the collective population.  

The reality is that a war is ongoing especially since 1979 over who is allowed to be able to inspire people to focus attention on changing consensus reality. The controllers of the media simply want to create a majority of compliant consumers who are willing to live out their lives at service to their masters.. You think this is a joke? Watch what happens to the internet over the next few years because the internet as we know it now is a threat to the people who want to be the masters. 

What I do here is NOT intended to be a stand alone service. 

While working for an institution for 5 years I got very used to adding my part of a whole picture. I do my work independent of the opinions of other astrologers and the methodology of others such as the Bradley index and play my strong suit which is intuition. When I see something brewing in my own way and others with their own high quality independent methods are seeing something similar it then becomes more actionable in terms of asset positioning. I got very used to doing things this way and saw the tremendous benefits provided to the trigger pullers when ideas converge and see no reason to change it. Now that DOES make it difficult to sell a service here because I am most suited to a think tank process and not having my every word taken as gospel. If I express frustration from time to time that my current situation is massively underutilizing my talent you will understand. 

I restarted the service here trying to work with the 2% who get it right now. This is a very small group. How many in that 2% are trading? Not many..  And how many of that still smaller group understand the astrology concepts I speak in?? Not many. So those of you very elite people who read this and grasp what is being said here need to find some way to fund what I am doing here. I am not asking to get rich just be able to operate near peak potential with enough resources at my disposal to max out my ability to be a part of the solution.  I am hanging in waiting for something more useful to the greater good to develop in the near future than only putting out a newsletter.  I have no intention of quitting the newsletter which I would do even without pay, I simply want better utilization of my talent and experience than I what have been doing at present. Any ideas let me know. 

 

The 2006 experience
2006 will probably be looked back a few years from now as the last of the good ol days.

March 2006
During March the USA entered an agreement with Canada and Mexico that smacks of forming a North American union. I see this as a precursor step to an AMERO currency. The USD is not backed up by anything other than military might and our decider seems determined to run that strength into the ground. A combination of cheap labor to the south and resources in the north seem the eventual outcome forced on this hemisphere where ultra competitiveness outside of the USA can dominate world markets. 

May 2006
During May the Dow topped and appeared to be headed into a serious correction. The lunar nodes were lined up in exactly the same position in May after 19 years where they were in the 87. Had this not been an election year I suspect that May would have been the major high water mark for the year. A sharp enough correction then would have reset risk aversion back to reasonable and preserved sanity which may have had a dampening of the negative effect on aspects ahead in 2008 - 2011. Financial engineers had other ideas which was quite predictable. I consider the reestablishment of the Plunge Protection Team (PPT) power in mid 2006  will be a reason why 2007 turns into a tipping point thus setting in motion a much longer term correction problem lasting into 2008 - 2011. 

June - July 2006. 
Paulson in as Treasury Secretary and his old company GS "adjusts" the weighting of gasoline futures in it's commodity index. Like magic this forced dumping of gasoline futures by balanced commodity funds which cascaded into a crash in retail fuel prices just in time for the election. Hey it worked to adjust prices at the pump but these sort of manipulations are so obvious now even the hillbillies in my locality saw through it. A consequence of this was an over leveraged Amarant hedge fund went belly up in the largest bust since LTCM in 1998. Not a surprise GS came in to gobble up what was left of Amarant. 

July August. Fear runs rampant as Israelis pound Lebanon stirring fears the Syrians or Iranians might be entering the fray and fears about nukes flying any minute went through the mass mind. A very well publicized liquid bomb terrorism plot emerges in August too (which turns out later have zero credibility) and then all of a sudden NOTHING. ... Stone quiet.. Israeli war machine stops in it's tracks...  I believe this sudden quiet was another pre election manipulation. I don't think this burning out of fear well ahead of the election one was picked up by very many people. Fear can only be maintained for so long then people get numb and ignore it. I don't think the timing of events in July and August were an accident. 

November 2006
The 2006 midterms had what looked like a change of leadership arrive but I am suspicious not nearly as much change as the US public has been lead to believe occurred. As I see it the same power brokers are in charge as before. We may in fact be in a position where a Democratic congress jams through new ways to water down the constitution that republicans could never get away with. Hate speech laws are one development I am watching carefully for passage.  If this occurs the internet blogasphere will be turned into a place that will be like one of those "free speech zones" we saw for the 2004 republican convention. Surrounded by fences and far away from the ears of anyone with a mind that can be changed. It is already bad enough in this way but could be much worse. 

December 2006
The post election polonium incident is a VERY significant event. It was a terrorism event and it is looks like it was intended to bring on a vague fear of an unseen contaminant. It may also be part of a blackmail plot between criminal elements operating above and outside governments using this event as a demonstration. Apparently polonium 210 is used as a trigger for suitcase nukes and maybe THAT is what this incident is all about. The net effect on the public in the shorter term however is similar to the anthrax attacks that were so effective in cowing the press and the congress. The message of we can get you is aimed at anyone who is critical of authority in Russia or anywhere for that matter and who is willing to expose what is going on. Fingers pointed at Putin are a smokescreen. I ask you to think about who benefits from this incident. Not Putin for sure. 

The wrap up of 2006 
The Mercury Jupiter Mars conjunction on December 10th stands out in many ways as a prelude to 2007. . A LOT of interesting Blustery verbal notable events occurred on and around 12/10/2006. Iran host a holocaust denial conference.. Humm way to go Iran you just made ME peace harder. The week or so leading up 12/10  had the new Defense sec Gates admit to defeat in Iraq and also reveal in public that Israel has a nuke arsenal. This was a faux pas of major proportions or so it seemed. Then exactly on Dec 10 Olmert made another apparent faux pas and admitted it himself. Hummmm. I looked up both of these guys natal charts and there was no indication of them being mistake prone at those times and in fact just the opposite. Something is going on here we don't know about. I hope it is not a precursor to the actual use by Israel of what was only thinly veiled before. Was this "admission" and then no action from US congress on the legality of aiding Isreal under conditions established in 1978 about proliferaters an end run around the law?  By setting a precedent of non action in congress this maybe will just fade away as another "oh well"? We shall see.

Featured MAJOR aspects and implied themes for the year

Keep in mind that the astrological influences are manifested world wide. The USA slowly being drawn down into a state of irrelevance and the positive effects of the good aspects in 2007 may show up mostly in markets elsewhere. 

Featured Hard angle aspects for the year 

I consider hard angle aspects to be many times more powerful moving markets around than soft aspects. The reason is hard angles tend to produce MISTAKES and mistakes are where money is made and lost in trading. Hard aspects tend to produce VOLATILITY.

Jupiter square Uranus

Jupiter and Uranus in square is a boom bust aspect. The principles of expansion and chaos combined stressfully should bring huge increases in volatility near the exact aspects and that tends to generate loses for the less astute such as J.Q. Public. . The exact aspects are January 21. Retrograde back to a 2nd square on May 11th, and the final square on October 8th. 

This is one of the more reliable topping aspects for equity markets. There are THREE of them in 2007 which complicates matters this year as far as timing a top. It is almost a sure thing that ONE of these aspects will produce the top of the Nasdaq retrace from 2002 with an ideal target at QQQQ 60 or better. Which one does this is not set in stone. 

Of the three squares the more ominous one for serious selling after the aspect kicks is in October. The second most significant is January. The May square falls in a time space where there could be selling associated with it but other aspects involving Saturn and Neptune will be counteracting it to a greater degree which should cut down volatility so less bust is expected then. The first in january has a violent prone Mars Pluto conjunction exact in front of it so violence may precede market angst. The last square has a similar tone but is even stronger with a solar eclipse squared mars exact on 9/11/2007 which is then followed up by a Mars Pluto opposition.  

Based on what is showing on the table in the late December 2006 period it looks like Bush is going to attempt to "double down" his losing bet in Iraq with a surge in US military activity to win in January 2007. This certainly has implications for October as the January offensive may then come back to haunt in the fall of 2007. 

We need to consider that current markets are LINKED both in international sense and also across asset classes now. Speculative losses will spread by forced liquidation. Normal balances between counter cyclical markets may not show up and deflation may be the result of the spec busts I expect to see from these squares. The 2006 calmer volatility period is NOT going to continue in 2007 with the speculative squares dominating the year. Selling volatility in just about anything may be the single biggest mistake made by hedge funds during 2007. 

Saturn opposed Neptune

This is a fear producing aspect affecting the mass psyche. Saturn is restriction and fear and Neptune is the vast sea of the mass unconscious. The first opposition was in late August of 2006 and we saw it manifest early but very clearly some events occurred intended to bring on fear of the unknown. a cynic would see this as purposeful. The retrograde opposition will be in late February 2007 (think January if it is early) and the last aspect will be exact in late June 2007. This is a VERY slow forming aspect and should not be viewed as one would view and aspect exact for a few days. 

We have already seen the first one exact on August 31st 2006.  The Israeli war in Lebanon with a million refugees fleeing is reminiscent of a previous hard aspect between Saturn and Neptune during the time the Albanian refuges in the Kosovo conflict were living in a sea of mud in tents in winter. In another strange twist seen last August there was fear of water translated into fear of water bottles on airplanes The now discredited liquid bomber plot absorbed a LOT of Saturn Neptune energy then. I think you can see the theme here. 

There are still two more to go in 2007. Keep in mind that we are in a PERIOD between now and June 2007 when manifestations will occur. 

This may translate to actual CONSEQUENCES in the form of restrictions of WATER or sort of like consequences of a damming up of water.. Drought in one place causes floods another. Potential as well that ocean water level rises begin to become real enough to see. I notice that the insurance industry is now making a lot of coastal property uninsurable and thus not mortgage eligible. OUCH!! This translates into many vacation homes that cannot be sold. No insurance means it might not even be ac rentable property. 

There should also be some taking back of liquidity in markets that was excessive during the pre election 2006 period when Jupiter and Neptune were squared. This may simply translate into a refusal to cut rates in the first half of 2007 in spite of many domestic reasons to do so. The last opposition in late June may be a release pint (cut in rates) and thus may have implications for markets later in the year. A rate cut or series of them going into September looks like it could be a catalyst for an overshoot to the upside in the summer and then in September - November a bust from the Jupiter Uranus square. 

Another feature of Saturn Neptune is credit defaults. Right now this problem is being dealt with in derivatives markets with all kinds of exotic methods. The end of that game is the counter party risk problems from credit risk derivatives. I would pay attention in mid winter to this one. 

 

Featured Soft angle aspects for the year 

Soft angle aspects are less mistake prone and generally have much less influence on market prices than hard angles. HOWEVER if there is a ganging together of multiple soft aspects at the same time it can create enough excess of behavior to mark an important turning point. Example was the powerful grand trines seen in early May 2006. 

Saturn trined to Pluto
The first exact trine is early August 2007. The second and third trines will be in 2008. 
An easy relationship between restriction of Saturn and Pluto creative destruction. I view this as slipping into a more fascist total control by centralized power. Political control by the time these are past exact in 2008 should be at about a maximum. I think this is conducive to more losses of constitutional rights and importation of invasive snooping techniques now being used in the UK to the USA and elsewhere.. 

This type of aspect tend to favor those already in power. More of the management of the economy by direct manipulation to stem the markets desire to correct imbalance should be seen. I assume this will only make matters worse down the road when Saturn and Uranus and Saturn and Pluto hard aspects dominate in 2008-2011. 

Jupiter Sextile Neptune
This is a spiritual aspect that should be of some assistance to truth seekers  But a sextile implies making an effort so is not a given for everyone to benefit from it. . The first of these will be exact in late November 2007. 

From a markets point of view will probably be a reliquification force counteracting the Saturn Neptune opposition and the bust I expect to see in the fall from the last Jupiter Uranus square. I think the soft aspect message of reliquification as an assisting force may be very welcome. 

Jupiter trined to Saturn
This is a "good for business aspect or a business as usual condition. The first of these trines is in mid March 2007. Jupiter goes retrograde in April still within one degree of a trine to Saturn and the second exact tine comes in early May. . This is a long time in duration for an aspect to be in orb and coming as it does around Tax time is an indication of a LOT OF EFFORT MADE TO MAKE PAYING TAXES POSSIBLE. Post May is a removal of the business as usual energy.. We can speculate that first half of 2007 market conditions will not be chaotic enough to completely derail the economy right away. This is another reason to look at the fall of 2007 as the tipping point of the year. 

Jupiter conjunct Pluto
This is a VERY interesting aspect. It will be exact in December 2007. It will be exact on the galactic center. It will be exact WELL PAST the very significant problems I expect to see start in September 2007. Once you read more about the alignments in September 2007 you will understand what I am saying. It looks to me like massive political forces are in play at the end of 2007. Combine the Saturn Pluto trine here  with a Jupiter Pluto conjunction and it looks to me as though absolute power corrupts absolutely as the theme. Potentially a crisis in the fall results in some readjustment of the basic political structures. Now one might hope this will result in the principles the USA was founded on returning. I am focusing my positive energy on that outcome. 

CONCLUSIONS 
On the major aspects in 2007

First quarter
The most clarity obviously is the nearer term conclusions.
I see some danger in January for a premature equity high for the year. If so it appears to be well BELOW the QQQQ retrace target of 60-70 and sooner than would be an ideal time frame for a high which is in the fall. The Election results in 2006 may have something to do with this by pushing forward in time some things that might have been held back until nearer to election of 2008. I have not come to an absolute conclusion yet but it does not appear that those in power behind the scenes actually intend on leaving power in 2008. If that be the case then only a few more legislative chess moves are required so that any crisis ahead be it natural. political, or economic can be used as an excuse to suspend our previous form of government. Be wary during times when the new congress appears to be in the process of taking back some of the totalitarian rules put in place in October 2006. If fear is a motivator then fear may be deployed to keep things as they are and even add more layers onto the control mechanisms. in terms of markets this should be a heads up on a higher odds of anomalous events showing up. 

So with that in mind this January period is potentially catalyzed by a terrorism event in early / mid January. Also in play is an acceleration of USA military actions in Iraq to snatch "victory" from defeat.. Maybe a carpet bombing return to the shock and awe tactics in Baghdad is the result.  If either of these occurs it may take a good many months late into winter to recover a sense of stability ..  maybe all the way into August with markets hunkered in a trading range 5-15% below the January highs. Considering that there is such a huge and vulnerable derivative bubble under the surface that will continue to grow exponentially this outcome may become the preferred path for the PPT managers trying to keep a lid on it as long as possible. If the USD is backed only by military force then this is a main reason the BushCo's don't look at a pullout without "victory" as an option. If we pull out without first completely destroying the place it will mean the emperor has no clothes and the rest of the world will fear the USA a LOT less.. 

Alternate scenario for the first quarter. 
If the astro plays out at par (like it used to do) the highs for the year should arrive August September 2007 and make the trek all the way up to the ideal targets on the QQQQ at 60-70. This will require the January - February corrective period to manifest a much lower level of violence which allows markets a needed breather from overbought in the first quarter.  Holding support levels in winter is the springboard for the final ascent in the Fall to new highs. Of course this is the way I would like to see things. 

The high no matter when the top occurs in 2007 it is the LAST CHANCE EXIT for getting COMPLETELY out of the US equity market. Buy and holders in US equity past 2007 are going to experience a disaster of capital losses it seems. The outcome is unknown in specifically how it will play out but the message is clear. Sort of like "if the thunder don't get ya the lighting will" 

Beyond the first quarter
I will of course be working well ahead and will be doing addenda on the last three quarters as they approach. Seeing beyond January is problematic due to the context changes I expect. I would say it looks like a recovery in early Spring and a sense of stability returning by mid summer and then in the fall another round of chaotic change on a much larger scale than seen in the first quarter. 

Based on rhyming we have with the 1932 - 1937 period the highs in 2007 will be erased by a sharp drop and a weak recovery that does not allow for any viable exit once being trapped long. Avoiding this will require selling just when things seem to be looking good and I just don't see most Americans being willing to do that... In fact most Americans will be the bagholders in the coming year for those who want out of equity. 

The astro in 2008 does not ramp up again to an extremely negative stress level after 2007 until near election day but by then I believe the die has already been cast and it will be easy to see by then there will be a global depression in 2008 - 2011. The post 2007 bear market lows are not actually due until 2011. Keep in mind that a company that goes bankrupt takes equity to zero but bond holders still get something back. 

A rule of thumb is that markets run into a LOT of trouble during a hard Saturn aspect period. We are in one from August of 2006 until June 2007. If the PPT guys some how manage to avoid a big correction in the first quarter the September - October period looms as extreme danger of an anomalous event to force a correction down to levels it may have been gently sliding into if there had not been interference. 

Monthly astro points of interest for 2007 

The inflection points below are the significant clusters of aspects that I think are important market movers which include the faster planets. Not all aspects that occur during each month are listed because for this type of bigger picture report which looks way ahead in time the themes are more the key. The aspects that are detailed each month hint at a storyline and the focus when looking this far ahead of the present is how one thing leads to the next.  

This read of the months during 2007 is intended to give subscribers an OVERVIEW of what the general themes and points of interest are. I go through every day of the year and try to pick up the story line based on the sequence of the aspects. Some of the turning points are listed but my attempt is not try to call something in advance that is best suited to real time decision making.

January 

Context
New CONgress take power in early January.  Warning bells are ringing even now because if the new congress starts to operate outside of the planned agenda handed down from the unseen controllers of our government a lot of pain is going to be needed to bring these newbies in Congress back in line. 

Inflection points / themes... Violence and speculative excess with potential bust

Violence
The early part of January has Mars and Pluto working up to a conjunction on January 13th. This is a very violent energy and has been present during a lot of terrorism alerts since 2001. Falling as it does after Christmas and at the start of the new congress it stands to reason we should at least have one significant violent incident of enough magnitude to send a message. I consider the polonium incident to be a precursor of something else.. January 2nd has Mars at 19 Sagittarius in opposition to the moon which falls on a sensitive axis for mass manipulation. January 9th the moon will be squared the Mars and Pluto locations approaching the conjunction. January 16th the moon will pass over Pluto and then Mars. I consider these dates listed are high odds of incidents and a time to be cautious of risks. The situation in Iraq seems to be very prone to extreme violence during January and it looks like the post December 10th message is one last push for a victory in Iraq is where we are going. . If so it will be brutal and bloody. It will also raise the anger to create a revenge factor that could linger into the fall.

There is an extreme speculative energy in the air this month from Jupiter forming a square to Uranus. This Jupiter Uranus stress energy is boom to bust. The square gets into orb about January 9th and is exact January 22. The square does not move out of orb until the second week of February. My assumption is there is a continuing tendency for markets to react to astro early so the focus should be on early January for the first signs of a potential bust in the air. The bust may be due to a paradigm shift because of the violence. It may also be a revenge act against the USA for some act outside the bounds of civilized world opinion as well. Potential is a withdrawal of economic support for usa war making potential as well. 

The top of the Nasdaq retrace rally from the 2002 low is due in 2007. I think it is unwise to have a 100% fixed opinion in advance on when in 2007 this will happen. HOWEVER we should be able to know it when we see it. The planets will line up with the technicals and the nay sayers speaking about insanity of the levels in markets will have been be fully silenced. The aversion to risk will be morphed into arrogant assumptions of this time is different and the VIX will be at extremely low levels before the bust takes form. 

If these conditions exist in early January it will be possible to see the first leg down of the 2007 - 2011 bear start with a clap of thunder then a very fast move down of maybe a 15% plus head slap sort of thing. This may very well be triggered by some unfortunate "anomalous event" .  The change would be so fast that if a trader is not pre positioned for it by getting on board preemptively a little it may be he will be frozen out of being able to take advantage of it. 

Conclusions on the month 

As I said the point here is to know it when you see it. The potential of getting a short trade off in January and making a HUGE trade is what I am watching for. I want to be clear I have been a steadfast bull since the 2002 lows. I have not advocated being short for any length of time since the 2002 lows. I have been holding long term bull side unhedged positions since then. I am going back into bear mode during 2007 therefore I am not advocating being long US equity for any significant time periods going forward. Buy and hold US equity will be a bad idea from here on out. 

The problem with the new bear emerging is that this is a final leg bear leg from 2007 into 2011 of a 2000 to 2011 bear. This new leg  will be very different in character than the first leg down from 2000 till 2002. During this next phase there will be very sharp down moves that will be hard to get on board in advance and then not much bounce. Seems that the triggers will be anomalous events.  Think anvil dropping.

February

Context
Mid winter. Consumers have all the Christmas and heating bills piling up and weather tends to be disruptive of consumer spending. If January has had an unfortunate incident occur either from terrorism or acceleration in Iraq and the stock market has experienced a sobering up from unawareness of downside risk this month stands to reason to have priced in reality at some point. This may be a deflationary month indeed. 

Inflection points / themes. Sobered up by a cold shower. 

The main influences here are going to be Saturn slowly moving into the second opposition with Neptune. I do mean slowly too because Saturn is retrograde here and this will be the longest lasting of the three Saturn Neptune oppositions in time duration in close orb. This one will remain in orb until 3rd week in March..  You remember the first one in August of 2006. Yes the manifestation of that one came on early. Considering the astro in January we cannot discount a repeat of that early manifestation. Saturn and Neptune in opposition is fear producing and VERY taxing on the souls of the awake ones. It is a direct conflict between empathy and what passes for the reality of human nature. It may be we are seeing an all out blood bath in Iraq. In any case I think it is important to a trader to focus on when fears are priced in and thus expect a low in February. 

Saturn and Neptune stress is symbolic of a bad dream. In the context of what we know what is left of the American dream it is being employed and paying bills.  Is that maybe to become the bad dream. Yes central to this also would be the housing bubble which has been used to pay bills by way to many. Prior to the election the manipulators took the starch out of the first Saturn Neptune opposition by pile driving Gasoline prices lower. And that then took long term interest rates into a neutral zone for a while allowing some refis out of exotic adjustable mortgages.. If mortgage rates have already started to rise again by this month (due to risk aversion by investors) the pressures on home owners who did not lock into a fixed rate will become severe. The Fed may control short term rates but they do NOT control the risk aversion element of investors in debt except by indirect means.  

February 8th has a Sun Neptune conjunction in opposition to Saturn. The consequences of the January astro may very well show up early in the month as some form of cascading defaults or a massive withdrawal of overseas money. Feb 14th has a potent alignment called a YOD focused on Saturn in Leo. This Saturn position is particularly problematic for baby boomers born in the early 1950s. 

The exact Saturn Neptune opposition will occur February 28th. By then I assume most fears are priced in.

And also during this month Pluto will be sitting on the galactic center. Pluto in this context could very well be signaling a huge problem in the gold market. Based on what I know there has been a lot more gold sold than exists above ground. This at some point this could create a squeeze of major proportions or some sort of deflation scare to get gold holders to lighten up. . And a default on DERIVATIVE PAPER holdings of gold either on the long or short side of it be in play too. Don't underestimate this.  Pluto is very slow moving and will be knocking on the galactic center door many times over the next 2 years so this could be a rolling wave of problems in gold not just a single event. I am bullish on gold but in on the longside from 2002-2003 so not leveraged. Leverage can get ya even if you are correct on the bigger trend. 

Conclusions on the month 

Wow this is not going to be all that fun. Seems to me that the rug may have been pulled out from under the middle class and the repercussions will be long lasting. If cascading defaults are in play it may be that the so called elite have decided to call in a lot of loans and take control of the assets that backed them. A cynic would say they set the public up to put everything including the kitchen sink at risk. Welcome to strong hints of the new feudalism of the 21st century emerging. Don't forget the USA is in hock to overseas investors also. Calling in loans may manifest THAT way as well as domestically.

March 

Context
As you can see I am not painting a rosy scenario for the first part of the year and hope it will be milder than it looks. I feel bad it had to come to this with such a fragile situation hinging on a few acts of stupidity being enough to dislodge everyday stability for the average person. And maybe with a bit of luck and grace from above the consequences will be delayed and the potential for the scenarios described turning into just another warning shot and not the climax of consequences for the general public. I do however see VERY CLEARLY how the law of the land has been changed under the nose of the public the last few years and bankruptcy is not as much of an alternative since 2005 to escape the crushing debts. And the freedom to complain and get active politically to force the government to respond with relief has also been diminished. 

Inflection points / themes for the month. Struggle for survival

The Saturn Neptune psychological swamp will be in play most of the month but should be a lighter shade of gray in March than February. Once a tipping point back away from fear has occurred markets may be able to get a rally going to at least get a focus back on biz as usual which I do expect to see later in the spring and summer. 

Based on the behavior during the first Saturn Neptune opposition in August of 2006 I suspect that there is a sudden QUIET in the negative energy manifestation and this may be seen as all of a sudden the problems seem to go away. Could be the reaction by government is push mortgage rates lower and roll out the BERNAKE helicopter but I suspect not quite yet. I see this countermeasure as more possible April - May and very likely post June..  There is income tax to pay in a little over a month so something has to be done to rejuvenate the public ability to pay taxes. I can see the commercials in my mind..  go to diteck.com and refi with a second 120% of your equity second mortgage to pay tax.  

March 8th a date of interest for stable stats reporting (true or not) that the economy is doing fine due to a grand trine forming between Venus Saturn and Jupiter. Lets just say some sort of relief from fear may be in the pipeline already and a rally in equity may be able to get some legs in March.  At some point in this winter mess a huge bond rally may be presented on a platter and this grand trine seems to indicate that LT rates may be ripe.

Jupiter and Saturn will move into a trine mid March which probably is an indication the situation is perceived to have stabilized and things are back to biz as usual. One thing that seems obvious is the speculative fervor seen in early January is a dim memory. 

March 19th is a solar eclipse. Keep in mind the 14 days before and after a solar eclipse are time windows where volatility can increase in a surprise move. I would look at both sides as a potential trading opportunity but if one happens on the prior time slot the other will be rather tame. March 5th has a sun Uranus conjunction. chaotic energy shift. March 31 has Mercury conjunct Uranus so a new focus is present with a chaotic change theme as well. 

Late March Mars will begin to move into a conjunction with Neptune and then an opposition to Saturn. Possible this is a dirty trick time period and a glitch in suckers rally. March 22nd is the opposition to Saturn and March 25th the conjunction to Neptune. Lets just say a setup for paying taxes is in the works and the psychological ploy is to give hope the worst has past. It may be if a person needs to withdraw to pay up it needs to be with late March in mind because as we saw in 2000 during a similar  year the pre tax time can have a few violent cough ups before April 15th. 

Conclusions on the month 

I see March as crawling out of a crater (OR A BUNKER) . Those who stick their heads up too far and too fast out of that crater may be simply getting themselves vulnerable again. 

 BTW Pluto is just sitting in a location near the galactic center hanging there in the 28th degree of Sag from the end of January and will stay in that 28th degree all the way into June. This is very relevant to gold. And by implication to the USD. The USD is fundamentally unsound WHICH EVERYONE KNOWS.  I see the battle between gold and the dollar as the underlying issue of issues for 2007 and I do not underestimate the volatility this can produce in both directions. Anyone attempting to get a late start on building a viable gold hedge against the USD fundamentals better be very prudent in doing so. The possibilities of 100 dollar a day swings in gold could become regular occurrences in 2007. Not gonna be for the faint of heart. If you like volatility the Pluto station on the galactic center should provide it.

April 

Context
The public may be stunned in January by something but has been allowed a reprieve at least long enough to take care of the all important function of citizens by being fattened up to pay tax on the 15th. At least for the first two weeks a sense that a hard winter has now passed should be apparent. 

Inflection points

Ok citizens pay up. April 7th has a grand trine between Sun Saturn and Jupiter. I think this may be some sort of recovery high / plateau because after this date there could be a massive withdrawal from markets to pay up for the gains during 2006. Note this may be a second shoe drop from the first shoe in late March. Keep in mind that if 2006 is going to rhyme with 1999 then 2007 should rhyme with 2000. And yes there was a bit of nasty price action in Aril 2000 before tax day with twin mini crashes that month. Those who were trading in those days are VERY aware of the shut down of equity markets due to circuit breakers for a half day in April 2000. 

Saturn ends the retrograde period that backed him out of the second Saturn Neptune opposition on April 20th. So now is the start to working up to the last and final these fear producing aspects that will be exact in June. 

April 25th is a day of interest. A Moon Saturn conjunction will be exact and a Mars Uranus conjunction will be ramping up nervousness. April 27th a very potent astro day for panic with a grand cross forming. April 29th a climax day of sorts. If selling after tax day has been gaining momentum it should last till very near the end of the month. Keep in mind that from this far away the technicals are an unknown. There may be a sense of desperation present that brings in the sound of the BERNAKE helicopters in the distance again. I think at least rate cuts are being priced in but may not be a reality yet. 

A little inflection point present on Aril 17th related to Pluto and a new moon so be aware that there could be a sort term high in gold around then and maybe some metal selling after April 15th. 

Conclusions for the month

After mid month a resumption of destruction of the middle calls might resume. Late in April Mars will go over a sensitive area at 20 Pisces. I have noted previously that transits of planets through this Virgo Pisces 20 degree zone bring with then a higher potential for nasty events. 

~~~~~

 May 

context
May is often not kind to equity but can also be a time that bargains are at hand. I assume that maybe damage has been done already before May 1st. 

Inflection points 

The second Jupiter Uranus square is going to be moving into orb late April but should be apparent in early May as well. Although this is bust energy this is a retrograding Jupiter now and it is very possible that a low forms around the end of April or beginning of May that presents some upside opportunity going forward.  Maybe a retest low in May is a decent setup for a safe bounce trade and enjoying a summer rally which I do expect in mid 2007. . 

There is by now a separation of the persistent Jupiter Saturn trine stability energy and a shift back to speculation from Jupiter Uranus. I get a sense of I GOTTA GET IT BACK as a gambler would think.. Maybe double or nothing betting following our presidents example of his way of dealing with a losing situation going on here. 

May 10th is the exact Jupiter Uranus square.. the second of the three during 2007. 

May 21 might be significant as the second Jupiter Uranus square moves out of orb and the reasoning of the gambler begins to lose it luster.. again.  The amount of selling after a May high is going to have to do with how much lift has been seen early in the month. I would not consider May a month to make money on the downside unless it is day trading sort of mentality. I sense a failed attempt to test lows in may. 

Conclusions on the month 

 May seems a calm before another storm of negative emotion I expect in June. As sense of "do I hear thunder in the distance but I don't see the clouds yet. The next and final Saturn Neptune opposition is approaching in June. And we all know that big who oil gave up profits for the last election and will probably be making up for that way around end of May for driving season. Unless there is a move above the 2006 highs however people may not make a lot of it however. At least not yet anyway. 

My read is May is a month of attempted liftoffs and tests of support in equity. 

~~~~~

 June 

Context
The public has a short memory. Summer and being busy and all that makes it easy to dream dreams and lose track of what is actually important. I suspect gasoline has started to come back near the painful levels seen in 2006 by the end of May. The stock market may have retested the winter lows in April or May but will be shrugged off as long as it holds there. This may be a fear month but also a NUMB month. 

Inflection points 

Saturn and Neptune begin to get back in a two degree orb for the last opposition on June 5th. Jupiter Uranus square now fading and I suspect an air pocket will have been seen at some point in sobering up investors from speculative urges and a typical summer will be in progress of getting underway. One byproduct of the continual Saturn Neptune opposition is to create an escapist mentality where "I don't give a shit" is a lifestyle choice. By this last Saturn Neptune opposition this may be very apparent. 

The last of the three Sat Nep oppositions will be exact at end of June on the 25th but I expect this to once again be early and by now the public is less reactive. Venus moves into a conjunction with Saturn and opposition to Neptune right at the end of the June taking a bit of luster off maybe a death of someone notable absorbing the bulk of the negative energy. I am not very bullish for June but I don't expect much market damage either. 

Take note that as this last Saturn Neptune passes I a sense of fear lifting should be felt. I think once that lifting begins it gets contagious and a viable supportive low should be seen as already having occurred.  I see this as the start of the ramp up that could last into August - September. 

Conclusions on the month

Seems to me a lack of interest in the market and high oil prices or just about anything of substance could combine into a sort of  "comfortably numb" sense in the public this month. This may indeed be a low point in spirituality for the year.  I believe pros will jump on this inattention and I expect at least some summer rally coming out of it. At this point July and August look to be the best astro months of the entire year as far as a general sense of well being. 

~~~~~

July 

Context
The passage of the last Saturn Neptune opposition should be quite noticeable. . Probably as sense  the worst has passed as July gets into the second half. Even housing should be looking better. . 

Inflection points

Seems to me this is about the least eventful month so far in 2007. 

The only astro I see of much significance is Mars square Neptune at the end of the month. Mars in Taurus and in square to Neptune could bring a volcano / tsunami problem.

I also see higher odds of a rate cut starting now. Ironically if they have been priced in it may be hard to see any results in the longer maturities.

Conclusions for the month 

Don't know about you but it looks like the best month to just take off and do something special. This is a breather month ...  especially good to take advantage of a time like this. Either finish getting ready for fall or enjoy a bit of peace. 

~~~~~

August 

Context.. everyone out having fun. Hummm . I see this as a time a thief may be doing a few break-ins in the constitutional dept. If there is something nasty in the pipeline for the fall there should be subtle signs of it emerging this month

Inflection points 

Saturn Pluto trine as best I can describe it is like a fascists best friend. This aspect will be exact in August on the 5th but will come into play near the end of July. 

August 13th seems like a day to watch out for in terms of slipping some new rules into the mix. 

I also get a sense of a rally sneaking up on investors during this month. It may be contrived yes but who cares the higher the better as far as being able to get positioned for September.  

August 22nd a Sun Saturn conjunction. This is something I believe may be especially significant because it marks the end of the Saturn in Leo sojourn the last 2 1/2 years and a shift over to Saturn in Virgo which is VERY different energy for Saturn. Saturn was in Virgo in the late 70s (1979) . Saturn In Virgo may have some grave consequences for employment starting to show. 

There is a big chance that one of the things that occur this month is some revisions in retirement rules mostly effecting the Pluto in Virgo generation. 

Mars will oppose Jupiter on August 24th. Bulls may be getting rammy and sense another speculative surge is building.  Watch this as this has the potential of the final leg up in the summer rally enthusiasm. 

Conclusions on the month 

Saturn Pluto trine was in play before the election and late 2006 but was a near brush then and not exact. The damage done to the rights of Americans and the cruel joke of the 2006 election is at least one obvious manifestation and it should be obvious now too. Pay attention this month because once we get into September the 2008 election season really begins.  Rules changes while everyone was at the beach this month may not look so nice down the road. I would expect the damage done may be taxes rules changes on retirement and other "niceties" that voters are expected to forget about in 2008.  

~~~~~

September 

Context. 
Back to work. Back to politics. Back to an accelerated lifestyle. Back to being busy with the new TV shows and getting the kids off to school. One reason 911 happened when it did was because this was a time of year when people are too busy to get a good grasp of what was happening by being so distracted. 

Inflection points 

NOTE I have to call this as I see it for this month and hope I am wrong about the goings on. Just the same if I sit by and say nothing I am not doing my job. I would ask everyone reading this to be keenly aware of being part of the solution not the problem and use whatever means you have within you inner self to undo what seems like is a lot of negative energy built up in the ethers waiting for an opportunity to manifest. When the September 2007 astro window is opened the dragon will hopefully be tamed well before he is given the open door.  

~~~

Mars squares Uranus on September 3rd. This is a panic aspect. And an anniversary date from 1929 highs.  I expect a nervous frenetic energy to be present. It may be a that lot of people have their "antenna" up and are uneasy. 

 Sept 11th 2007.  As I have noted in the update already I see some evidence that there are astro locations of significant sensitivity in the Zodiac at 20 Virgo / Pisces and 20 Gemini / Sagittarius.  Mars is going to be located at 20 Gemini on September 11th 2007. AND MARS WILL BE IN A SQUARE to a solar eclipse at 18 Virgo that day.  PAY ATTENTION PLEASE. This has terrorism written all over it.  Since we don't have any real reason to know who the REAL perpetrators of terrorism are I ask you to keep your eyes open. I contend  that events on or around this date are directly connected to something to influence election day 2008. I am not going to speculate exactly what might happen just yet but I don't like what my intuition is picking up already. One thing about a solar eclipse is it is not a normal one month  influence on a new moon... it tends to last for 6 months at least. In the case of the August 1999 Nostradamus eclipse It suspect it was when 911/2001 was set in motion. 

Saturn will be in the first degrees of Virgo this month. Saturn was in Virgo in 1979 when a lot of the corpo/fascist elements took hold of power this country. This is the start of a Saturn return having to do with the 1979 manifestations. One would hope that the consequences of what went on in 1979 would be about to arrive. Saturn is a tough task master. On the one hand the consequences might fall on the people who I believe took control of this country then. On the other it may very well be the consequences are about to fall on the vast majority of Americans who ENABLED what happened by being complacent, unempathic, and just plain self absorbed assholes. This is going to be decided by what goes on in the time between now in late 2006 and this month of 2007. 

Please understand that it is likely that the market have managed to claw it's way back to some level of relief from January and May problems and then a hammer looks to come down. One reason I am so concerned about rule changes we may see in final form in August is the presence of the follow up alignments on Sept 11th 2007.  Will all the ducks be in a row for a final assault on the middle class in this country? From my perspective here in late 2006 momentum is going in that direction and the Saturn Pluto trine in effect since election 2006 has the signature of a continuing tightening of up citizens rights. 

The Sun and Mars will remain in orb of squared from September 11th until September 21st. This rather long lasting square has potential of producing uncontrollable anger over a considerable time period. On September 20th Sun Mars and Pluto form a T square which is a trigger for some revenge which may very well be related to events that have taken place in January 2007. On September 21st Mars opposes Pluto which is brutality inflicted on "others". Can I be blunt.. F@%king nasty.  And it could very well be there is martial law seen here in the US of A regarding what goes on in Mid September. 

This set up is one of the more ominous alignments I have seen since the Nostradamus eclipse in 1999. There was a massive quake only a day or so after that August 99 eclipse that killed 40,000 people in Turkey. There were similar but less potent aspects around for Ivan and a year later Katrina so the manifestation can be through natural events as well as man made. I know my buddy over at halfpasthuman.com has picked up some events lying latent in the time currents about a massive quake effecting the west coast and the pacific rim and the astro signatures in September 2007 fit what he is seeing with his technology more than any other time frame in 2007. 

Jupiter and Uranus will be in orb of squared for the last of the final time around months end so on top of the violence and anger likely mid month there is speculative bust energy present following up the solar eclipse. Potential is present of a massive drop in equity related to an anomalous event..    If we use 9/11/2001 as a market behavior template there could be a market shutdown after an event and then the reality of the situation will have to be priced in by delayed unwinding due to derivative problems.  This is NOT a time to be playing with options that may expire in September and other forms of speculation that rely on counter party risk. 

Conclusions on the month 

Dealing with this month had a lot to do with the delay in putting out this report from Dec 10 to later in the month. At first I wanted the report to be as loud a warning as possible about this month but after careful consideration I decided that this warning should be as toned down as possible as far as the extent of the reach. I know that I could have "made hay" with what I know by putting it out during astro that would have been an amplifier.. and could have profited personally from what I see in the form of money. I cant do it. I am empathic. I know that the vast majority of people are not and will not be prepared. I know that my alarming them in advance about something that they wont be able to be prepared for anyway is cruel and so this report is only going out to my very small list of subscribers.  

Worst case is September 2007 may very well be the beginning of the for the USA of A as we knew her. Themes of violence early in the year and a clamp down by Government before September in a worse case scenario means that we witness game set and match as far as the democracy we once knew.  Potential here is to have an incident so potent occur this month that there may not even be a 2008 election. 

Best case is there is some natural disaster of a level high enough amplitude to absorb the negative energy present and give civilization a reprieve by giving a warning. The problem as I see it is there is a massive amount of negative energy there in the time location which must be tamed. This window opening in September does not HAVE to have this build up of a negative outcome present but it does now as best I can tell. If you don't want to see a negative outcome it is time to start NOW to use your mind and spirit to defuse this. 

Lessons from 1999. 
The so called Nostradamus eclipse in August of 1999 was touted by a few astro pundits as the end of civilization.  I saw this too and also saw the Turk quake happen and understood right away that the quake had absorbed a great amount of negative energy. I also took note back then in 99 that there was a very high likelihood that some things were set in motion at that time may not show up for a while. 911 was almost exactly 2 years after the 99 eclipse. If not much happens this month on the surface it is not over but may be a setup for things to come is set in motion. Frankly the longer a manifestation of the September eclipse can be delayed the better the odds that a manifestation can be modified into something more benign. This is work best done by advanced people who grasp the creative process and not those who don't have enough insight to be just being a loudspeaker warning that a terrorist incident might happen. .

October 

Context

As you can see maybe everything has changed in September. This is one of those months that makes it hard to do this work. Sometimes it is not easy to see past certain points in time and September 2007 is one of those times. 

Inflection points 

October 9th is the exact Jupiter Uranus square. The bust energy is focused here but the astro may have already manifested early and this date could simply be be the result of it being a known.  

October 13th is a Venus Saturn conjunction in Virgo. This is an interesting date. Exactly 700 years ago from this date was the first black Friday 10/13/1307. Maybe one of the top 10 atrocities of all time occurred on that date.  I am going to be blunt and say that the day the Templars were massacred was maybe the day an evil force took control of a occult secret that is still very much in play today and is being used by a certain group of elite and evil people to avoid the ascension process which is what 2012 is really about.  The events a month previous to this date may be directly related to a misuse of that secret. 

The bulk of October appears to me to be sober and stunned and there is not much of an indication of a bounce back in sentiment. This dead cat may not bounce even an inch. 

The October 29th has Jupiter at 19 sag and Venus at 19 Virgo. This hopefully will be a recovery of some sort but based on some research I am not optimistic about this. The implication of the planets aspects late in October could very well indicate a massive inflation problem as the governmental response to whatever happened in September. 

Conclusions on the month 

At best this will pass by without the violent event I see as possible on September 11th. If so there will be a lot of emotional amplitude and if it is just focused on markets has a crash/correction signature. 

At worst you had best be prepared with food / water and a place to get away from the fray.   And yes I have understood in general terms what fall of 2007 means because I looked into this time period many years ago. Knowing this I think you can see why I live away from cities and a fairly self sufficing rural community.

There is a lot I cannot say about who I see working behind the scenes pulling the strings here and making bad things happen. Suffice to say if you read up where there is smoke there is fire. 

~~~~~

November 

Context.. a bitter harvest. prepare for winter. 

Inflection points

It is hard to look much beyond September and October. Looking at the general astro in November it looks like a tremendous withdrawal to defensive mode with Mars located in Cancer. Jupiter will be sitting at 20 Sagittarius early in November and this may be an indication of success by the dark forces who seem to benefit from transits through the zodiac axis at the 20 Gemini/Sagittarius. 

There are not a lot of significant aspects exact this month which seems to me to indicate not much change or rebound from whatever has gone on in September / October. The 37 - 42 market pattern model that is very much in play as I write this in late 2006 suggests that the markets will suffer 3 drops from 2007 -2011 and will not recover much on retraces after those drops. My read from a market perspective for 2007 is the September / October period has all the earmarks of being a wave 3 panic down stroke of wave 1 of C. Wave 4 of 1 of C will be rather weak and flat lasting into winter with the final 5th of wave 1 of C probably hitting it's bottom in March 2008. 

Jupiter will be moving into a conjunction with Pluto at the end of November and in essence this may represent a move in gold to the stratosphere. I would be careful with gold however. Have enough to be a hedge but not so much that in a deflation or a confiscation or something along that line it would hurt you too much. Cashing in some gold for USEFUL ITEMS / TOOLS at some point in 2007 may make some sense as well. 

Conclusions on the month 

UGG!! What additional can i say. If September goes by without incident and October November are uneventful I would be happy about that. 

~~~~~

December 

Context. Unknown. 

Inflection points

December 10th is a Jupiter Pluto Moon triple conjunction in Sagittarius at the galactic center.  This is the one year anniversary of December 10th 2006 triple conjunction of Jupiter Mars and Mercury. The obvious manifestations of the Dec 10 2006 alignments had implications if a nuclear sort and this is maybe another shoe dropping in that regard.  

December 20th. Sun Mercury Pluto conjunction on the galactic center. Some sort of announcement of significance. 

Winter solstice 2007 December 22nd. Sun Jupiter conjunction at zero degrees of Capricorn. This is a precursor for alignments in early Capricorn leading to Dec 21/2012. 

Christmas eve. Moon Mars conjunction in opposition to Sun Jupiter conjunction. Ammunition under the Christmas tree? 

January 1 2008. Mars opposed to Pluto. Keep in mind Mars has retrograded back to form a second opposition from the post 9/11/2007 opposition. The third and final Mars Pluto opposition will March 7th 2008 occurring just past the time that Pluto enters Capricorn for the first of many years there. My comments on the Ewave pattern should be understood as a low point of wave 1 of the C wave is likely March 2008. 

Conclusions on the month

I don't want to be negative. These things don't have to happen. I am reluctant to even talk about this in a way which may increase it's probability. 

Gold certainly has a potential to go through the roof and top in December 2007. It also has the potential to be declared illegal to hold and trade as money. A suggestion. Based on a write-up by an Argentine fellow who had to live through some hardship in his country he suggests that junk gold jewelry is better as a barter tool that gold coins are. There may be better bargains in 2007 at pawn shops to acquire some gold assets for a potential barter economy than at coin shops. 

 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The concise read for 2007

My feeling is the election results may have pushed forward in time a few things and look at early 2007 as a point in time that the exuberance of the public slugging the BushCo's with the nay vote earns them a payback. 

I am going to use Elliot terms to describe the moves I see in 2007 and beyond into 2008. Keep in mind that I use NASDAQ for counting. The crash of 2000 to 2002 was wave A of an ABC pattern bear market not due to finish until 2011. The rally we have seen since the 2002 lows is wave B due to finish in 2007. From some high point in 2007 the bottom of wave C is not due until 2011. 

The 2007 bear emergence is the start of the big wave C down that should last into 2011..  Best read for now is it works out as a big drop in January but not a terminal drop maybe 15% or so and then a sideways churning back up until late August / early September (maybe even a new high on some indices for the year) without making a lower low before September. It is possible even that some indices like Nasdaq take until fall 2007 to run out the string to achieve retrace targets. 

The wave 1 of C of the bear leg may have three waves down printed by November 2007 and wave 4 and 5 of C play out into about March 2008. 

 The wave TWO of C denial phase retrace rally out of a March 2008 hole may take us up to somewhere near psychological relief  near the November of 2008 election.  The wave TWO signature should be a full blown denial of the significance of wave ONE mostly seen in 2007. Know it when you see it. Once denial is fully priced in the wave THREE of C down begins which I have god reason to expect to be DIRECTLY connected to the 2008 election. (or lack of) 

At or around the 2008 election is when I expect the wave THREE of C to get going. In the context of the bigger picture this wave THREE will be oddly sharp at the starting gate with little or no sub wave two within it but as it progresses will also be constantly decelerating in a pattern that is created by forced liquidations. This deceleration phase will just crush anyone attempting to trend trade during it because derivative decay will equal price movements down in the direction of the trend. Counter trend moves cut short of any logical price moves by overhead panic sellers will make that hazardous also. In other words don't think you are so good as to be able to beat this sort of market. Not unless you are in a position to sell the volatility during the terminal phase of the Wave C down. Take a good look at the post 1980 gold bear wave C pattern and you will see what I mean. 

When the bottom of 3 of C does arrive some time in 2009-2010 it will be accompanied by an absolute aversion to owning USA equity. Again think what occurred in the terminal phase in gold. AND Japan. 

best case scenario for 2007

A mild correction in January and slow recovery into late summer with a retest low in September. America continues blissfully unaware of the tenuous nature of the big picture and the managers of the American illusion of wealth continue to keep the mirage alive. Hey it IS possible. 

Worst case scenario

A terror event rocks the foundation of the western world in January. A deep and fast correction follows and a slow flat recovery lasts only into September when another shoe drops and that one has a potential to be worse than 911. 

Other stuff

There are of course other themes playing out such as environmental damage. It is very possible that 2007 is the year when more actual realization of where environmental damage momentum is leading . Here is a link about the arctic ice shelf disappearing by 2040. This projection is based on greenhouse gas AND DOES NOT EVEN FACTOR IN THE FACT THAT THE ENTIRE SOLAR SYSTEM IS HEATING UP FOR SOME UNKNOWN REASON. 

http://www.itv.com/news/index_2177deee67b49aa6812d45daf76025d4.html

Now if true this will raise sea levels and change the map of the world by 2040. Supposedly a rise of up to 200 feet. And of course the effect on agriculture is an unknown but it seems almost for sure places where things grown well now wont be viable by then. When this is enough of a known it will produce some chaotic shifts on a geo political level. Hummm maybe a reason why there are moves afoot to merge the USA with Canada and Mexico? I think the last thing we should expect is for our governments to own up on what they may know might happen. After all they want their cronies to take advantage first. 

Long term astro past 2007

 The red highlight area below was from the 2003 year ahead update.
 Saturn and Neptune in stress is an indication of debt problems. Suburban Real estate in proximity to large cities particularly vulnerable in 2006 - 2007. 

In 2008 Saturn will oppose Uranus for the first time. The last opposition is out in 2010. 
Jupiter will conjunct Neptune three times in 2009. 
Saturn will square Pluto from late 2009 until summer 2010.  

If the USA is to suffer what could be called a depression it seems the 2009 - 2010 period is the general time location for the climax. The way the astro appears to set up seems to indicate an inflationary problem at the root. There is not much letup of overriding AND VERY DIFFICULT long term aspects until very late in 2010.

Long term conclusions based on available info as of Dec 2006

The biggest picture in the long term 200 plus year cycle available using historical data indicates that the USA is now in a confirmed long term slide out of empire status. The rotation of power is now swinging to favor Asia as the next dominant world power in 2050 or so. The problem with this assumption playing out as a continuation of "normal" historical cycles is the population of the planet as of now already in conflict with the resources required to allow this rise in Asia to occur. Something has to give. Either a new way of living with nature is needed in combination with energy use/ production changes or the population will be dramatically cut back to something sustainable by mother earth herself. Even maintaining population at current 2006 levels seems not possible with the current mindset unchanged. 

Unfortunately population declines are the result of either war and pestilence or changes in the environment. It is very possible we see a combination of both in play during the "lean years" BETWEEN 2008 AND 2011. 

It seems one way or the other a crisis of major proportions is where momentum leads us as mankind runs into inevitable consequences of non cooperation with nature and common sense during 2008 - 2011. Hopefully this will play out as a forced technological advance that allows sustainable energy production without environmental impacts and this results in mankind finally being able to expand it's population to beyond the confines of the earth to places where resources are unlimited. Based on some studies I have seen the far side of the moon may contain EVERYTHING necessary to accomplish this expansion beyond the confines of the earth. 

Consider this. Right about the time a shift to full corpo/fascim occurred in 1979 there was also a move away from manned space science and exploration of the moon to a militarization of space instead. MAYBE JUST MAYBE the crisis starting in 2008 will result in a full effort to stop the warring and get on with the dreams of future generations. 

So what is stopping us

My read is mankind is heading into a crisis that appears to be self induced stupidity but may not be that at all. More and more it appears that the crisis ahead is manufactured and scripted and for what purpose? 

In my research I have found vast quantities of references to the time period we live in. Many stories of catastrophic changes. I am beginning to more than suspect that the so called powers that be have known about this time frame a long time. The only way I can explain the inhuman behavior I see from the top down is they know something is coming and are looking to protect their own and their blood lines and screw the rest of mankind. I read about the possibility of massive secret underground cites being built for this purpose. And then I see why the corruption has been so massive and seemingly without any great concern about being caught.  Maybe they are so arrogant they don't see that what they do is a known.  

The wonderful technology available to us has been perverted to enslave the minds of everyday people. Encouraging submission out of fear and to funnel human talent into areas of self destructiveness is not something that should be a part of modern civilization. This cannot go on forever. The earth is a living being making us humans a bit less significant than fleas on an elephant. . I don't think she will allow much more of this. 

Those of us who see clearly need to get the rest to understand the only way out is UP. Both into space and into higher consciousness. Anything else is just a waste of time.
