AstroEcon PART THREE Posted 12/28/2006
Prosperity in the years ahead
I think that Bible prophecy as it is being spun by the fundies is mostly hype intended to check down the ability of most people to see though the matrix that passes for reality. However as with most books on spirituality there are many grains of truth in the bible for a discerning person to gather. The 2004 tsunami was a WAKE UP CALL. It marked a time when people serious about raising their consciousness got the message and started to take steps without delay. The message to me is the spirit of the earth is very much alive and she aint gonna take it much longer. It ALSO marked a time when "the rest" went full bore into denial.. Yes even more denial than after 911 if that is possible. Even to a point of denial that global warming is real. In other words 2004 was a time when sides were chosen. The time for talking cajoling and prodding the majority who will not listen out of their slumber is over as far as I am concerned. I have been pointing to 2007 for quite a while as the economic tipping point into "consequences" so be as ready as possible for a somewhat chaotic period from now into 2012 . After 35 years of maintaining an activist mentality I now am at a point where I guess I have done my part. I see that 12/26/2004 was the tipping point for how many people are actually reachable because if earth changes don't do it nothing will. Now two years later I see clearly there are less and less every day who even want to listen and the laws of diminishing returns in being outspoken are very obvious. Those who get it already don't need me to be outspoken. Those who wont just get it just want to be more block headed the more anyone attempts to expose them to the truth. I guess the chips have already fallen where they may. NOW is the time to take care of you and your own Just because the majority are acting like suicidal lemmings does not mean we have to join them. The obvious line of least resistance for many of us from now on is to operate on the fringes of their skewed reality stream and stay only as connected to it as is necessary for day to day functionality. Here are a few thoughts on what I see as the only sensible way to proceed. *** Become very discriminating as to the input into your
lower mind. TV is the biggest culprit. I only watch a few sports and uplifting
funny shows like the "daily show" now. Even that low amount of
exposure has it's hazards because
I notice the commercials during them are quite negative promoting the
nasty kind of shows I wont watch. Commercials are sneak attacks when you
are even more "stood down" in discrimination mode than in the
shows themselves. So even being discriminate with TV means there is
still negative input being slipped in. I do NOT watch CNBC or any network news. I
have a sort of
daily info gathering round instead going though a series of web sites on the net
where other "watchers" keep up on current events. I do
not use any sound for the most part while surfing and try to limit the negatives to a need
to know basis. *** Choose the people you associate with well. If some people you are in close proximity to are dragging you down either in mentality or economically or spiritually they got to go. Yes this walking the walk can become a lonely endeavor. Believe me I know. *** Operate well below your means. Debt is the biggest mechanism of control. If you must be in debt then be sure it is a debt that you can walk away from if it becomes a matter of life or death. I suspect a LOT of Americans are so attached to those things they are in debt for they would choose death over walking away. I guess that tells ya something. *** Practice your spiritual creative powers in small ways every day to stay sharp. Overuse by thinking you should try to control every little thing around you is not a good thing because this stifles your spontaneity and can get in the way of your broader intentions playing out in surprising ways.. Constant practice is necessary but awareness of the subtlety of how things are being transformed is necessary too. Pay attention to how your previous intentions are playing out. The higher your consciousness becomes the faster your intentions will show up in the real world around you. LOLOL be careful what you ask for. I was determined not to pay any federal tax in 2006 as a war protest and succeeded in doing so. *** Maintain your ethics as best you can. I suspect there are a lot of karmic traps on the path in the days ahead and the number of "spiritual" types who are able to stay on task will be culled greatly as time goes on. It is easy to be spiritual when things are relatively good but not so easy when there are tough choices to make. My own personal experience the last few years I hope my experience can be of some use to readers. I made up my mind a long time ago that I was going to walk the walk. I had hopes of being a force in creating change in this world since age 20 and still do. However I choose not to compromise my ethics for the sake of personal gains. This turns out to be a bit limiting especially at this time. I moved to rural West Virginia last year. I wanted to build a small homestead on land I will eventually inherit but ran into resistance from my somewhat cranky father so I moved an hour south of the farm. I live modestly and in isolation. The farm will eventually be there when I need it but I wanted to leave my dad his space since he is 82. (he is a Leo) I have a nice modest home on 4 acres near a natural playground and consider myself very lucky. My problem to solve as far as employment from here on is the moral hazard of doing finance work with my intuitive skills and keeping integrity balanced with my personal needs. My personal transits until June 2007 are not all that much fun with Saturn crossing over my natal Pluto. I am 54 and this Saturn transit was an issue to many of the boomers a bit older than me back in 2005. Those younger with Pluto in early Virgo will have this same transit in 2007 - 2008. This is rather austere life lessons being dealt out by Saturn so if you have had them or they are ahead be as prepared as you can to get the lessons from them as painlessly as possible. Saturn rewards preparation.. . I just have to hang in until Saturn is done concentrating my Pluto energy in mid 2007 and learn whatever lessons I can from him. Saturn's intention is not to harm but make a lesson clear. A big reason I have pared the site down at present is I am sitting with the situation rather than pushing myself recklessly into making too much noise which I believe is a mistake. Inner guidance tells me lay low, do good work, and be patient. Mundane stuff The stock market situation this year In brief the 2007 period is the tipping point. Past this tipping point beyond 2007 long term equity investing in the USA will be a losing proposition in general until a final low due in 2011 occurs. The high mark of the rally since 2002 could come in January 07 if the "dam breaks open too soon" and if not then it is hard for me to see the illusion of prosperity getting much past the incredible astro in September 2007. I guess what I am saying is be defensive starting on new years day. January may be the first signs a serious LONG TERM equity divestment out of the USA and into Asia. The currency issues may become more acute in January then a second round of problems in the fall. Seems as though the Euro is the favorite currency to escape the USD now but I don't see it as fundamentally all that much better than the USD. An astute person could take some advantage of the shifting sands by rolling into and out of HOLDERS in Europe and Japan equity that are priced in local currency as the year rolls on.
Housing bubble and what to do about a place to live This problem of housing cost/debt and liquidity is a long time in the making and will not go away soon. Laws of supply and demand can only be suspended for so long. If we are astute the structural problem in real estate in the USA can work to our advantage. Too many housing units are occupied by single people. Americans live in houses that are WAY too big.. There are too many second homes lying vacant much of the year too. This adds up to a hidden OVERSUPPLY which is not taken into account in many housing equations. No where but in America does so much unused housing square footage exist. Essentially this excess is made possible by the labor of people in places like China and the third world who may not even occupy an 8x8 single room for themselves. They labor for slave wages while the USA takes advantage by making loans based on "so called low inflation" they provide at rates below what the fundamentals suggest is fair. This feeding off the poor enjoying our bloated lifestyle has fueled a great amount of borrowing against real-estate and has created the excess square footage. Home equity loans and exotic lending practices enabling living beyond one's means are long term issues as well. In the next year or two I believe the crunch will leave even more homes vacant. These homes will then have to be rented at WELL BELOW what the previous monthly mortgage costs were creating a feedback loop of price declines (at least in real terms). I saw this phenomena in the early 1980s with homes being rented for a negative return sometimes at close to 50% discount over buying. Of course the real interest rate was high back then. So for practical purposes we all need a place to life. Renting from a landlord who assumes the risk is OK as long as YOU the renter are getting the long end of the stick. HOWEVER there is more in play here than just dollars and cents. There is the lifestyle part of the equation and your personal safety and also down the road the survivability of the locality issues as well. If you must work in a metro area to make a living it seems the best way to handle this based on many factors such as price risk and RE tax and that sort of thing is to rent modestly in your employment vicinity but OWN something in a more stable low cost rural area. If you are lucky enough to have job portability where you can work and be safe well outside of a metro area that seems to be the best of both worlds. Not all of us can do that. Please note that the federal government has been moving assets to outside of what they call the "blast zone" at least 70 miles outside of DC. This is mostly a strip on the east side of the Shenandoah mountains in Virginia.. I guess the main reason I am well west of that and on the other side of the mountains from there is I want a formidable barrier between me and them. I love the beach but wont live near one now. Three floods in three years while in Carolina enough for me. I want elevation. Small towns with good community atmosphere do exist. If you don't own any real-estate you need to consider that it IS a hard asset and you don't want all your eggs in USD cash. Balance is a key. If you just rent having some hard asset is smart.
The long term Nasdaq bear The "market for the next hundred years" is going to
dominate trading psychology for at least the next 20 years which is about when I
expect the Nasdaq composite to actually exceed the old highs at the 5000 level. Yes
that translates to 2024. It may take another 10 years past that to give investors
long at the
2000 highs any return of consequence. Underperform is an understatement
to say the least if you went long the Naz at the wrong time and still
hold out hopes. This creates a LOT of overhead selling on rallies and
forced liquidation on drops. The demographic of who went overboard in
the late 90s says forced selling out of IRAs wont go away soon either.
In the final analysis when the Naz becomes as unpopular as gold was
during the mid 1990s it may be time to dip into a bit of buy and hold
tech again. The Japan long term cycle low Japan started the bear in late 1989. Thirteen years duration was 2002. The Japan HOLDER EWJ dropped 80 plus percent from top to bottom. In the duration of the bear the EWJ is a decade ahead of the US equity market pattern and offers the only long term buy and hold position even at this dangerous juncture in 2007. In fact I suspect 2007 will be a second dip to buy there with the first coming in 2002. January or after September is the obvious choice there. I suspect EWJ will experience 2 drops in 2007 . I would be a buyer in Jan - Feb. in EWJ on a drop down into the 11s. Yes this is a PRICE thing not so much a timing thing. It will be headed up to at least 25 at some point before the 2011 time frame because it consists of Japan equity priced in yen. So when the yen rises the EWJ gets a currency boost even if it is flat. A diverse approach going forward makes a lot of sense so no eggs in one basket please. My intention is to show that there are still a few places to hide. The gold cycle NEVER put all your eggs in one basket. Many gold
bugs are getting smug and talking like this is a sure thing. But some of
us are not fooled so easy. This is like a steel cage match with brass
knuckles. Gold is the enemy of paper. The bull cycle in gold is coincident with what I expect to be a continuing bull market in other commodities as well. Barring nuclear or biological warfare wiping out growth of world population the supply of basic commodities will be less than the demand going forward indefinitely. Combine what seems to be inevitable from attempts to increase production at the expense of long term environmental damage and there is an almost sure thing bull market for anything grown or mined lasting for as far as I can see into the future. A complete deflationary collapse in the USA could be a setback but the population factor is the driver. Please note that around year end 2007 Jupiter and Pluto will conjunct near the galactic center. This is as best I can tell a point in time that gold may have reached a CRITICAL JUNCTURE... HUMMMM will that be the all time highs at some astronomical levels are seen or will it be the bargain of the century.. Unfortunately it is not possible to tell which side of the coin will be showing then.. As I said it looks like gold bulls are a bit smug. If gold is extremely high at that point it will be time to use some of it to prepare for the 2008 - 2011 period... Ironically if gold is pushed into a hole by manipulation before late 2007 then it may still be time to do the exact same thing except deploying CASH and not using the gold you hold. Hey it will either be cash is king or gold is king in late 2007. It appears that this late 2007 period is a time to recycle financial assets into PRACTICAL AND USEFUL THINGS. You cannot eat gold or heat your home with it or do anything with gold except look at it. Paper money even more a joke in reality if you come to thing of it. The astro in the late 2007 - 2008 period is VERY VERY clear. Survival for a few years is the message. I would never go without some gold kept in reserve but there may never be a better opportunity to load up on what really is important for everyday security than late 2007.
The bond bear I see 2007 as significant inflection point in the inflation/ deflation maelstrom. More than likely the weak USD will keep pressure on the fed to maintain real interest rates high enough to hold back the tsunami of USD building up off shore in 2007. Eventually this holding off of the inevitable cashing out of the USD will fail and with that comes a spike in interest rates at the same time as the USD is breaking through any and all support. Think 1970's here at some point in 2008 - 2011 period. I consider the game has been fixed against the overseas dollar holders who are being encouraged (bribed) to wait too long and at some point when they are forced by need to cash out they will be offered only what the US government wants them buying. Think insolvent real-estate assets and US Government debt that is in technical default. By then all the highways and bridges and ports and whatever is worth anything will have been sold already to the more astute overseas investors. Energy prices. The first of three Saturn Neptune oppositions in 2006 was very instructive. The manipulation of gasoline prices for the fall election may have been a good ploy but in the long run maybe some nasty unintended consequences of having forced production cuts by producers who need to protect themselves from "shenanigans" . The drop in gasoline and crude in 2006 may have set up supply problems down the road. My understanding is alternate fuels such as coal liquefaction require some price stability at 50 or better a BBL. So far this is the case but there is recession risk ahead which may make investors reluctant to invest in something that would take years to pay off. Everyone knows that alternate energy is the only long term way out. And there is also a need for energy production and its consumption to become LOCAL. That is against the policy of the controllers who benefit from centralization so we see any sort of localized energy initiative such as solar or small scale hydro not being encouraged. Global warming is denied.. Stay the course and by that SUV you hardly ever need in 4x4 mode because it does not snow where it used to. I expect the global warming issue to be in play in 2007. I consider the high likelihood of PUNITIVE TAXES to be in play starting in 2007 with global warming an excuse. Global warming at least in the shorter term is real but taxes don't change the amount of carbon already in the atmosphere. The presence of winter hurricanes hitting the northwest USA is a STRONG indication that HELLO WE HAVE A PROBLEM... Although there may not have been many hurricanes in the Atlantic last year the HEAT EXCESS existing in the oceans as winter approached had to come into balance. One reason the Atlantic season turned tame in 2006 may have something to do with the gulf stream slowing down because of the melting glaciers in the artic changing the sea salinity. The heat in the water is still present but it was cast off in other ways... like at Seattle. Or tornados in London in winter.. One reason I don't live on the coast anymore is I got a spooky feeling watching the ocean. My read is mother earth is perfectly capable of taking care of
this human created warming problem. The long term threat to civilization is
COLD not warming. In fact the very mechanism of the warming in the near term
may create the eventual balance by increasing the number of volcanic
eruptions. And yes indeed the same up trend in volcanism and increase in
carbon in the atmosphere shows in stats. A big enough blow of one of those
like Yellowstone and it is painfully clear that about 90% of the population is
at great risk of freezing or starving. Google little ice age caused by if you don't
believe me.

Random thoughts and observations Negative motivation and the psychology of fear is more than meets the eye Negative fear based motivation of the masses to an extreme approaching satanic is a tried and true control mechanism all through history. I see a huge iceberg of negative energy that only psychic sonar is capable of grasping. What lurks below what most people can see is so nasty that their belief systems will not allow such things to exist to them. As long as the rest of the iceberg is hidden for the vast majority of the public things will be tame to them as if there is nothing to worry about even though the fear is thick under the surface. I find it is increasingly difficult to discuss much of consequence with most people. Sadly the bigger the lie the easier it is to get away with it. I consider Bush Jr only the talking head of a monster. Sort of like
Ronald Reagan except a LOT more annoying. The real problem is and has been daddy
Bush. If
you want to take the time to understand what I am saying here watch the Alex
Jones video on how far back the HW problem goes. And after watching this it becomes obvious who
has been really running things all along since the early 60s. In my research I have found a VERY SENSITIVE astrological axis of spirit located in a zone stretching from 18-21 Virgo though 180 degrees over to 18-21 Pisces. People with strong positive natal alignments focused in this zodiac zone are almost always working at the cutting edge of the task of transforming human consciousness up to the next evolutionary level. An axis of evil I at 20 Gemini and 20 Sagittarius also seems to exist which is at a 90 degree square angle to the Virgo Pisces axis.. People with strong negative natal energy focused on these Gemini Sag lines are just as active in dampening the human spirit. HW has natal Sun at 20 Gemini in a tight square to Uranus at 20 Pisces. I did a lot of back checking on this before I made the above statement. I am working on this axis discovery as ongoing research. So far I have to conclude there are way too many coincidental events occurring along the two axis lines during transits to not have a sense that there are scripted events being forced into the affairs of this world during times when the effects are most damaging to the mass mind. Keep in mind that Prescott Bush was a nazi financial backer. Hitler employed astrologers to time his moves which required the US/UK to hire it's own astrologers. When the CIA was formed after WWII a lot of "former" nazis were brought in to help organize it. When Reagan was president he used astrologers to plan most of his actions. HW was vice president and the defacto president during the Reagan years. DO NOT THINK IT IS FAR FETCHED THAT ASTROLOGY IS BEING MISUSED IN THE PRESENT DAY. It has been misused all during history so why not now . Internet freedom RIP. 1994 - 2006. Layer upon layer of new laws are either on the books already or are about to become law intended to limit what can be said and seen on the internet. Hate speech laws are just the tip of the iceberg. Enjoy your free speech while you can. I figure that the Saturn opposition to Uranus during 2008-2010 will be the darkest period for many freedoms we have taken for granted at present. The wolf in sheep's clothing will be a Pelosi lead move to make us all nicer. And this will be touted to protect children.. and sexual orientation and ethnic groups and gee wiz about anyone who might be "offended" by what someone says will be able to get a lawyer and make someone pay or just be subjected to legal thrashing. Yes hurt feelings will become a very profitable cash cow suing for hurt feeling injury lawyers. By the way the USA is one of the last places laws of this kind are being deployed. THE REAL REASON TO SUPPRESS THE NET... My sense is that a LOT OF criminal stuff in DC (well about everywhere) that has gone on very a LOOOONG TIME is being dug up by too many internet researchers pooling resources and the real reason the internet is being strangled in a thousand ways already is to keep a lid on the spreading of truths about what has gone on. The problem for the controllers is I expect the more evolved types will stay one step ahead using whatever means is available. Ipod casting an example. LOLOL eventually maybe we have to resort to telepathy. ~~~~ Bush is a Sun in Cancer male. A basic theme is Bush sees the world around him as his private domestic domain to be defended. As Bush himself has admitted he is instinctive and this is consistent with a moody, feeling driven Cancer personality. A usual flaw of the Cancer male personality is a tendency to swing from bully to crybaby. I expect he was deeply hurt by the election rejection in 2006 and I consider him as vindictive enough after a snub to have even less sympathy for common Americans than when he was when he was happy before Katrina. My point here is don't expect any help from Washington when the S%#t hits the fan later in 2007. Let them eat cake maybe mild rhyme in comparison. The rules have been changed right under Americans noses these last few years and government no longer has to be nearly as responsive to public needs. The Bush style is not unlike a protection racket. Make the public afraid then offer to protect them at a price. And the price for way many is to give up their souls. Take this to heart in the first half of 2007 and get your own house in order.
The Flu pandemic The Spanish flu in 1918-1919 was during a Saturn Neptune conjunction in Leo. Saturn is in Leo again and in opposition to Neptune. The bird flu memes seem to be have been on hold since before the election but in the last few weeks are on the upswing again.. Now we can look at this two ways.. Maybe the opposition aspect holds off the reality and it simply manifests as fear and not manifestation of a flu problem. So far is the case. HOWEVER there are two more oppositions in the series and the entire episode wont be over until mid 2007. I don't take a non flu pandemic event for granted. Now here is a horrible thought but one I must mention. Science has gotten to a point where bio WMD can be targeted at specific ethnic groups. Possibly even aimed at specific demographic groups. This is a relevant topic for 2007 with the Saturn Neptune opposition in play. Genocide involving millions is not a figment of the imagination it has occurred in the worst way during this century even in the 1970s. Up to 25% of the population of Cambodia died under the rule of Pol Pot and his social "experiment". There was a specific aim to eliminate even the memory of how modern life was before 1975 by killing (or working to death) as many of those who remembered it as possible. This left a country of mostly pliable young people who had their reality arranged to suit their masters. The USA stood by and watched this take place.
Long term post 2012 I cannot really "see" much past the 2011 period. I do know that for many years after the dominant big picture aspect will be Uranus in Aries squaring Pluto in Capricorn. My read is this is screaming a message of an upheaval resulting in a new way of organizing civilization. The NWO crowd seems to be very busy making sure this energy turns out favoring mostly themselves. We shall see on that one. The square angle suggests that things may not go as they plan. It is obvious that massive change is required but this change has to start at the core problem of unevolved behavior and not toward further enslavement. This aspect has the potential to bring on the extremely fast evolutionary changes required to pull off a return to Eden. What happens between 2007 and 2011 has much to do with exactly how that change takes place. In other words there is a choice. Advanced spirituality Some of us born in the 40s and 50s have been passionately at this a long time.. many since the mid - late1960s when Uranus and Pluto were conjunct in Virgo. There is another quite large advanced group who were BORN at that time in the 1960s who display a tendency to get up to speed on such matters too. There are still other groupings of people born even later in the 1990s when Neptune and Uranus were conjunct in Capricorn with similar tendencies called Indigo children. As of this time in late 2006 there are more people on the earth who have DIRECT EXPERIENCE in BEING in a higher consciousness than at any time in the last 12,000 years. Uranus is the higher power of Intuition that is required for the mind to break free of the restraints of words. . Neptune is the planet of empathy and true spirituality is not possible without an empathic breakthrough. Unbeknownst to most "Christians" empathy is the basis and the core message of their religion. Pluto is the power of live and death. In the 1990s Pluto was inside of the orbit of Neptune for a period which to me is representative of a time when death overshadowed life. I think that the reality is that the so called "second coming" started then and is in gradually accelerating every year. What is interesting about the time period during the Uranus Pluto conjunction in the 60s is that was when the use of psychedelic dugs and ethogens such as peyote and magic mushrooms were rampant. I lived though this time as a young adult and handled it relatively well having the good sense to get into such things but with some good training beforehand. I am here to testify to what was seen by MANY of us then and this is still possible for anyone who cares to see above the simple mindedness. limitations, and din of earth based slave reality. In our current time period Ayahuaska shamanism is becoming a cutting edge movement. The words of Jim Morrison's from song called THE SPY are
more eloquent than any I can come up with.... The battle has been raging for some time at least since the 60s . That battle is over emerging consciousness and is being countered by the forces which don't want a "freeing up of the mind slaves". If you open your eyes you will see this battle is still taking place and is accelerating. Yes there have been casualties in this battle. John Lennon a notable example. You can think what you want of the likes of Hendrix, Morrison and the rest of us back in the 60s but I will tell ya they knew they were putting their lives on the line back then by saying what they did.. and they did so without fear. There are many of us left who feel the same to this day. The 2012 period is the beginning waves of that persistent Uranus Pluto square which will last well beyond 2012. Squares are stressful and even forceful manifesting aspects. My read is that those who lag behind prior to 2012 will be in for a VERY RUDE AWAKENING when this aspect kicks in. In a very real sense those who do not move up to meet the rising tide NOW and without delay will be "left behind" and this will be a KNOWN when the squares kick in. The truth is very simple indeed http://www.redicecreations.com/article.php?id=242 ~~~ ~~~~ http://www.redicecreations.com/article.php?id=186 ~~~ Pole shifts ~~~~~ Adult indigos http://www.indigohealings.com/page/page/1706811.htm http://www.indigohealings.com/articles/article/2663028/41057.htm
