The Economy



Last month’s transits of Venus and Mars in optimistic Aries that were sextile Neptune (illusion), Jupiter (optimism), and Chiron (healing) led to Wall Street overlooking the facts and figures and continuing the Bear Market Rally.  A few economists publicly stated that the recession has “bottomed out” and may end later this year.  I would ask: “’What are they smoking?”  This month, as Mercury goes direct in Taurus, joined by Venus and Mars, the accountants and the realists will win the day.  Gold rose considerably the last week of May, as I predicted last month, as the dollar fell with fears of hyperinflation on the horizon.  More nations are trading in a “basket of currencies”, which I also predicted in this newsletter.  Timothy Geithner is scheduled to go to China to discuss “God knows what” as they smartly announced recently that they have been buying gold for some time.

The fall of the dollar as the global currency continues, as planets in Taurus form squares with Jupiter, Neptune and Chiron.  My take is that several catastrophic tsunamis are ahead:   1) the interest rate swap derivatives market with the potential for unlimited losses, 2) the credit default swap derivatives market counter-party losses, 3) the Feds creating massive currency inflation in bailouts and their buying U.S. Treasuries because nobody else is buying them.  Countries like China, Russia, India and Saudi Arabia who were prior strong holders of U.S. bonds, are no longer buying our debt.  In the case of J.P. Morgan Chase in particular, it is likely that their interest rate swap book is so large that there is  probably not going to be enough U.S. government bonds issued or in existence for them to adequately hedge their positions.  As I have said above, my take is that people will be trading in a basket of currencies, including gold.

Although the “cabal” will be hard at work trying to manipulate gold, ultimately they will lose control and gold will make new highs, toward the end of this year.

Last month’s Bilderberg meeting of the most powerful people on earth has been reported on a number of blogs.  My take, as an astrologer, is that with Pluto in Capricorn, they will attempt to create a global treasury and a global currency, giving the financialists control over the world economy.  We would say “good-by” to sovereign nations, constitutions, the rule of law determined by legislators, and most of all, any notion of real democracy.  The only hope is decentralization of power, not centralization of power.  The writers of our constitution understood that a balance of power among different parts of the government was the only hedge against tyranny.  As Pluto moves into a square with Saturn and Uranus in the next several years, my take is that their plans for this will be shattered.  Nations will move into revolutionary modes, institutions will be toppled, and the “masters of the universe” will lose their footing.

Weather and Nature:



Watch for storms between June 8th and June 10th.  These dates could symbolize earthquake activity as well, ( along with July 2nd through July 7th).  Mercury is square Saturn between the 25th and the 26th, which may inhibit travel due to weather conditions

Foreign Affairs:



The Israeli/Palestinian issue will be front and center this month and is a priority for the Obama administration.  The planets in Taurus strongly activate Israel’s chart and rules the issues pertaining to wars over possession of land.

North Korea is experiencing Saturn transiting their Sun, which hits exactly the week of July 19th.  Something will have to be done to deter their recent nuclear tests born of desperation on the part of their government.  The U.S. cannot do this alone, but must lead the way.

Iraq and Afghanistan continue to fight our forces of occupation.  The primary reason for these wars is not the so-called “war on terror”.  It is to control the flow of oil long enough that a transition to alternative energies will be less of a catastrophe.  For years, our policy has been to dominate oil reserves in the Gulf States.  As our money runs out and people here are seeing the human toll taken in these wars, there will be an escalating movement to get out of these nations. 


The Obama administration is back-tracking on promises and I am beginning to believe there never was a real intention to change these policies.  Just as the President is keeping the same financialists on board, who presided over the crashed  economy, he is continuing the wars he promised to end.

Final Thoughts:



Transitions from one great historic era to another are never easy.  They involve the collapse of systems, institutions, and belief patterns that have engrained themselves within the collective human psyche.  The twin meltdowns of the global climate and the global economy are, oddly, related to a certain amount of success.  Thus, the global population has increased to presently unsustainable levels.  It will likely be reduced either voluntarily or the “hard way” by the spread of poverty and disease.   We will be moved to contemplate a change from unrestrained greed and consumption that excludes the majority, to careful and thoughtful ways to prosper through restraint and a larger vision for the greater good embracing all.

As we move through a very dark and painful era, the constellations light the way as the promise of the sages and prophets through the ages is fulfilled.

 

Stay Tuned!

                                                             Power Struggles


                                                          Summer Solstice 2009






June 21, 2009
Washington DC

The signature energy for the Summer Solstice/Ingress of 2009 is a Power Struggle. The aspect that jumps out is the Cancer Sun forming an opposition to Pluto. The next three months will be flavored by the struggle for power. The type of struggles that make you take a stand for your position. The Persian people come to mind. The push and pull of lobbyists, powerful interest groups think AIPAC, AMA, Wall Street, and We the People pushing back.


With the Suns entrance into the Cardinal signs it sends a message,and a new moment of experience commences. The Solar Ingress chart is potent in its ability to foreshadow what a nation can expect to develop over the next three months, yet we may not see its completion for several years as events play out, to paraphrase Starcats.


We can already sense the next three months are going to be chock full of excitement and drama. The Solar Ingress Sun is forming an opposition with Pluto adding excessive punch to the aspects they make. Venus and Mars in Taurus with Saturn in Virgo trine each other with the Taurean earthy sensuous Venus adding passion with a touch of refinement to this earth power play. The Moon conjunct Mercury in Gemini can be easily exemplified with the cell phone, Twitter, Tweet, ReTweet of the Iranian election and uprising of the Persian people and the Nation of Iran as it is today, as they all collectively experience their first Saturn return.

On the American stage "Closing Gitmo', the "Supreme Wise Latina", "DADT Don't Ask Don't Tell", "GLBT Equal Rights", "Health for All", the "Wreckage of Wall Street", "Bye Bye California, So Long Michigan", with trailers of soup lines and tent cities are playing to an audience of millions. Hurricane season is upon us, El Nino teases the Pacific waters, volcanoes grumble, earthquakes rumble, the winds howl, and the Swine Flu sniffs at our doors. We can be certain the GOP will crank up is Whine Machine as right-wing whack jobs screams fill the night air and morning air waves.


I cannot imagine how it feels to hear the singing calls of the Persian resistance at night from their Tehran roof tops. Nor the creativity they have used in circumventing their governmental communications blackout.


I find it intersting at how easily we forget the police brutality done to protestors here in California, Los Angeles comes to mind. The images of peaceful marchers and the brutal baton wielding, taser firing crazed cops brutalizing old men, women, children as camera men rolling film for the 6:00 o'clock news catchs it in living color. Quick look at Iran, how cruel they are, how soon we forget "Shock and Awe". Obama is wise to tread carefully before boasting of our self righteousness. The violence brought down upon the students of Kent State who marched against the war in Vietnam, the bloody bodies of the Civil Rights marchers from the 60's, the cries that rose world wide begging George W. Bush not to go to War, but the bloodlust was upon him. Yet we see the Republicans beat their chests spouting patriotic platitudes, and they are the perpetrators of violence and war.


The Gemini tango of the Moon and Mercury team up on the US natal Uranus losing all sort of sprites from Pandora's box as they whirl on past sparking ideas, raw emotions, transmitting world wide.


The Summer Ingress Venus/Mars passion play in Taurus is in a trine with Saturn in Virgo. Lord Saturn is mired in jello, hung up on details and tripping the inconjunct trigger of the Summer Ingrees 15 Aries Ascendent, twine that with passion and power, all set to get up and go, ah go, ah...glob, glob, glob. The Gemini dynamic duo is inconjunct the US natal Saturn in the 10th House as Obama goes nowhere quickly though his ideas, passion and energy strives to push forward the GOP with their Blue Dawgs say stop..glob glob.


The US natal Moon (the People) has the Chiron/Neptune/Jupiter trio creating brain storms in the National psyche as we the People are transformed by the events surrounding us. As Summer progresses we need to be the Ant not the Grasshopper, prepared to meet what lies ahead.


Namaste.

                                                    The Magical Kingdom






Somewhere, deep within us, lives a vision of a more perfect, more peaceful world. In religious terms, it might be called the Kingdom of Heaven on Earth; in political terms, it might be labeled a utopia; astrologically, it is designated as the coming of the Age of Aquarius. But whatever one’s frame of reference, there exists an inner longing for a world where we recognize our kinship with all humanity, where our diversity becomes our strength, and where our swords can finally be turned into plowshares.

Unfortunately, this enlightened jewel deeply nestled into the essence of humanity’s soul is most often drowned out in the cacophony of volatile emotion, manifold need, and overwhelming struggle that make up our daily lives. Like the sunlight peeking out from behind the clouds on an otherwise rainy day, there are moments when we remember this buried truth about our shared humanity and its congruent strivings, but mostly, it is forgotten amid the din.

Of late, this sunlight has been more visible, thanks to the Jupiter/Neptune conjunction that remains in effect from mid-May to mid-July 2009, and offering a brief encore in the third week of December. Highlights of this visionary and optimistic configuration that came while the conjunction was waxing toward the US Moon (27Aquarius12) include the speech given by President Obama in Cairo and the initial response to the choice of Judge Sonia Sotomayor for the Supreme Court. Most recently, as the Jupiter/Neptune conjunction waxes toward an exact semisquare with the Iranian Sun (11Aries06) through July 10, Iranians have taken to the streets calling for fair elections and standing against the demands of their oppressive regime. This movement has excited the world’s imagination (Jupiter/Neptune) and unleashed a guarded hope that Iran’s people might reclaim their country. After July 10, however, this exalted energy will rapidly diminish, and it remains to be seen what will be left after a more realistic perspective takes hold. With Uranus turning retrograde on July 1 and once again moving toward its conjunction with Iran’s Mars (25Pisces37) through August 24, we may see the mood of rebellion, aggressiveness, and repression increase as the idealism and expectation deflate.

Back in the US, pressure and criticism are being ratcheted up on President Obama as Pluto waxes to its exact opposition with his Venus (1Cancer47) as of July 1. The Plutonian laser-like focus is being applied to Obama’s tendency to compromise and conciliate (Venus). Many on the Left would appreciate more Mars-like assertiveness on key issues such as health care, financial regulation, and gay rights. Unfortunately for Obama, some significant obstacles, frustrations, and possibly lower poll numbers are likely through July 19. With Saturn opposite Venus in the Inaugural chart (17Pisces47) from July 4 through July 16, criticism of and restrictions on his administration and its policies will grow during the coming month. Effecting him more personally, Saturn will be sesquiquadrate his Mercury (2Leo20) from June 28 through July 11 and quincunx his Ascendant (18Aquarius03) from July 6 through July 19, suggesting some personal stresses, restraints, and difficulties, including the possibility of a minor health issue (Saturn/Ascendant). From July 25 through November 5, Obama’s fortunes will once again be on the upswing, with the likelihood of many victories, increasing popularity, and a general mood of success. His progressed Moon will be in opposition to progressed Venus/progressed Uranus (28Leo07) in August, followed by a long station of Jupiter on his Ascendant from September 8 through November 5.

As of November 5, however, the mood of the country will shift dramatically, as enormous difficulties erupt and Obama faces hurdles and criticism far more challenging than seen up to that point. November 2009 through August 2010 will be very burdensome for the president and the country, as Saturn moves into its square with Pluto, impacting the US Midheaven (1Libra53), US Venus (3Cancer06), and Obama’s Venus (1Cancer47). April through July 2010 will also see the final three Saturn/Uranus oppositions that pit the innovation needed to move toward the future against the obstructionism and recalcitrance of the status quo, a general theme of this entire administration indicated by the Saturn/Uranus opposition in the Inaugural chart. Those ten months may be the most difficult of our president’s four-year term.

                                    Comments for the Week Beginning June 15, 2009 






Written by Raymond Merriman     
Review and Preview


 Since our last column two weeks ago, many of the world indices have gradually risen to new multi-month highs. In Asia and the Pacific Rim, new highs were noted late last week in Australia’s All Ordinaries, India’s Nifty, Japan’s Nikkei, and the Hang Seng Index of Hong Kong. By far, this section of the world experienced the most bullish equity markets. In the United States, both the NASDAQ Composite and the Dow Jones Industrial Average posted new cycle highs last Thursday. However, the same was not true in Europe where the German DAX and Netherlands AEX could not take out their highs of June 2 and June 3. Likewise the rallies in Switzerland’s SMI index and London’s FTSE index could not even exceed their highs of May. By far, the European markets were the weakest of the world equity indices that we track.

 Like the European equity markets, Gold and Silver posted rallies last week that failed to take out their highs of the first week in June. In fact, precious metals fell sharply last week, as the U.S. Dollar posted gains. Crude Oil soared to a new high for 2009 when it touched 73.23 on Thursday, representing a gain of 125+% since its lows of December. That new high is happening as we enter the middle of the time band of the first two out of three passages of the Jupiter-Neptune conjunction, in effect May 27 through July 10. Jupiter and Neptune co-rule Pisces, the sign of Crude Oil.

Short-Term Geocosmics



 The huge run up in precious metals and currencies against the U.S. Dollar ended June 2 and 3, right after the transit of heliocentric Mercury in Sagittarius ended. As stated in our last column of two weeks ago (written May 29), “If the correlation to this strong surge was heliocentric Mercury in Sagittarius, then any market that has rallied sharply since May 19 may be in for a rude fall in the next ten days, as this planet will now enter the more sobering sign of Capricorn until June 9. Whereas the influence of Sagittarius can be very optimistic and speculative (some might say it is the sign of “the gambler”), Capricorn can be more demanding of hard evidence to support such sudden price increases.”

 The next days are very critical, and filled with Jupiter-type of signatures. On Monday, Jupiter turns retrograde. On Wednesday, the Sun trine Jupiter and Neptune occurs, as mentioned above. Next Sunday, June 21, Venus and Mars will be in conjunction, and both will trine Saturn the next day, June 22. If you are looking for love or agreement, this is the time to find it. If you are looking for a top in stock markets, this may also be the time to find it. Just don’t get married to your position. The attraction is more of an infatuation – or the result of an “irrational exuberance” – than reality, as will likely be discovered once the bloom of Jupiter and Neptune fades away.

Longer-Term Thoughts



 Speaking of Jupiter and Neptune, and its correlation to dream-like infatuation and bliss, combined with the romantic urges of Venus and Mars in conjunction in the affectionate sign of Taurus… one might think that this is a love affair with the market (and certain public figures) that will never end. Neptune is the principle of dreaming, Jupiter the principle of exaggeration. What happens when the cold, hard, reality of Saturn comes in? We may get a glimpse of that in the next two weeks, for the Jupiter-Neptune principle may peak this week, followed by the trines involving Saturn the week after. We may be in store for a see-saw between hope and reality, which will be preview of the longer-term periods of the first half of 2009 and the last quarter of this same year. Right now, the 13-year Jupiter-Neptune conjunction is at its most powerful, for we are right in the middle of the first two passes of May 27 and July 10. There will be a couple of more times we may feel this wonderful, uplifting energy in July and August as both Venus and Mars will “translate” in soft aspects to the Jupiter and Neptune conjunction. But then what happens when the third (of five) Saturn-Uranus oppositions unfolds in mid-September, with the Sun conjunct Saturn no less – a situation very much like what happened in mid-September 2008?

 There is a warning the heavens are giving us right now. Everything may look good and feel good. And you may be tempted to jump in, get on board, and ride this wave to riches and success, since the stock market doesn’t seem to want to come down. Who wants to be left behind? But whenever you buy on a new high under Jupiter and Neptune, you have to understand: not everything rises forever, especially with Saturn and Uranus still in opposition through mid-2010. It’s like love and marriage. At some point, someone has to pay the bills. Maybe its time to think about cashing in the chips before they become worth less, or even worthless.

Written by Raymond Merriman     

Review and Preview


 Three more weeks.

That’s how much time is left in this unusual continuation of the first two passes of Jupiter conjunct Neptune. The first passage of this 13-year cycle took place May 27 and the second takes place July 10. But since both planets turned retrograde during this time band, it seems as if they are conjunct the entire time. In fact, the midpoint of these first two passages is happening right now, June 18-19. And in typical Neptunian fashion, the investment community acts like it is totally confused or paralyzed. It can’t decide which way to go. It is not usual to see distribution tops form under such Neptune aspects. That is, the market trades in a rather narrow range – but mostly near the top of that range – until the Neptune effect passes by. Think of Neptune as “fog” and the midpoint as being right in the middle of “the fog.” You know you are close to something, but you are not exactly sure what it is. In this case astrology can be helpful to the investment community. What you may be close to is a top in equity markets. What you may be close to is economic data and political reality that is a little harsher than you were led to believe, or wanted to believe. It is nearly impossible to make a well-informed decision right now. This is to say that rumors and intentionally misleading information can have a powerful impact. Facts and convictions, on the other hand, may be in short supply.

 As we look around the world, we see a very mixed picture. All equity markets we track fell last week, bottoming on Wednesday or Thursday. They rallied after that, but not above their highs of the previous week. In some cases like Europe, these lows – and the weekly closes - were below the 25-day moving average, which is bearish. In other cases like Hong Kong, Japan, Australia and the NASDAQ, the lows did not take out the moving average, which is more bullish. Since the lows occurred during the Jupiter transits (June 15-17), there is reason to think the market could now rally again. But because several are still well below their 25-day moving average, it can also be argued that the decline is not yet over and the rally may be minimal. The fact is that these declines have not been very substantial (less than 4%), and most markets are still within striking distance of their highs for this year recorded earlier this month. In other words, the pattern may very well be that of a “distribution top,” as opposed to a “climatic spike.”

Like the equity markets, crude oil and grain prices also fell last week from their highs of the prior week. Gold and Silver, as well as currencies against the Dollar, bottomed early last week and staged a modest rally, but still closed well below their 25-day moving averages.

Short-Term Geocosmics



 Last week was an illustration of the difference between the principles of classical astrology versus those of financial astrology. Classical (or modern) astrology tends to think of trines – especially those involving Jupiter transits - as positive, and coinciding with crests in equity markets. But financial astrology postulates that markets don’t care whether it’s a soft aspect (like a trine) or a hard aspect (like a square or opposition). In either case, it will reverse whatever the trend is going into that signature. On Monday of last week, Jupiter turned retrograde, which highlights the principles of hope and optimism. On Wednesday, June 17, the Sun formed a trine to both Jupiter and Neptune, as well as a square to Uranus. One would think the two trines plus the Jupiter station would coincide with a crest. But to the contrary, it was the low of the week in many markets, like equities and precious metals. 

 On Monday, June 22, there will be a new moon on the Summer Solstice (the first degree of Cancer). This also happens to conjunct the USA Venus-Jupiter, which could be a harbinger of some good news for the country. However, it is also a New Moon on the natal Pluto of the Federal Reserve Board chart, and opposite its natal Sun. It may not be a good period for the FED, which is about to come under some intense investigation (see Longer-Term Thoughts). Venus and Mars will also be in conjunction, and both trine Saturn, on June 21-22. This too highlights governmental concerns about financial markets, and especially those that influence interest rates and currency prices, such as the FED. Once these signatures pass, there is nothing remarkable in the heavens until July 1-10. And the signatures of that time are quite remarkable, just in time for America’s 233rd birthday.

Longer-Term Thoughts



 “Related, in Jackson’s mind, was the issue of the national debt (the money owed by the federal government). To him debt was dangerous, for debt put power in the hands of creditors – and if power was in the hands of creditors, it could not be in the hands of the people, where Jackson believed it belonged.”

This is a quote from “American Lion: Andrew Jackson in the White House,” by John Meachem (Random House, 2008). Andrew Jackson abolished the Second National Bank, the central bank of the USA, and created the first surplus in the history of the U.S. Treasury in 1834. Then stock market roared to new all-time highs. But within 8 years (1842), the United States was mired in the worst Depression of that century with a new record debt. And it wasn’t until December 23, 1913 that a new central bank, in the form of the Federal Reserve Board, was re-established in the United States. At that time, the Sun and Pluto were in opposition, at 0-1 degrees of Capricorn and Cancer – the same degree where the new moon will take place this Monday. The theme of this new moon, therefore, will be the transformation of the role and power – and even survival – of the entity itself.

 The past few days have seen an amazing amount of activity regarding the recent actions by the FED, as well as a major proposed overhaul of financial regulations. On June 11, the House of Representatives passed House Resolution 1207, the Federal Reserve Transparency Act, sponsored by Congressman Ron Paul. This bill is intended to audit the Federal Reserve Board’s financial dealings. As stated by Ron Paul on rawstory.com, “To understand how unwise it is to have the Federal Reserve, one must first understand the magnitude of the privileges they have. The have been given the power to create money, by the trillions, and to give it to their friends, under any terms they wish, with little or no meaningful oversight or accountability.” Pretty strong words, but entirely consistent with an entity about to be questioned under a transiting Pluto it its Sun, in opposition to its own natal Pluto.

 Then on Wednesday of last week (June 17), Barack Obama “… proposed sweeping ‘new rules of the road’ for the nation’s financial system… the greatest regulatory transformation since the Great Depression,” according to an associated press story written by Jim Kuhnhenn and Martin Crutsinger. “The Obama plan would give new powers to the Federal Reserve to oversee the entire financial system.” But not everyone is on board about giving the FED these new powers. In addition to Ron Paul’s bill to audit the FED (and eventually end it), Senator Christopher Dodd, chairman of the Senate Banking Committee, has “advocated an alternative plan to strip the Federal Reserve of its regulatory role entirely and create a new consolidated bank regulator….” It appears that we are about to witness something not only as sweeping as what happened after the “Great Depression,” but perhaps more sweeping than the days of 1834 when the original Central Bank of the USA was abolished. We are about to witness one of the cornerstone events that will mark this “Cardinal Climax” period of 2008-2015, a period described in great detail in the Forecast 2009 book and also the lead article in this month’s “Mountain Astrologer” magazine, written by Yours Truly (www.mountainastrologer.com). We are about to witness the power of Pluto in Capricorn, as the midpoint of the Saturn-Uranus opposition, which will peak October 2009 through August 2010. We haven’t seen anything quite like this in our lifetime. I expect the financial markets to respond accordingly as a result of this “shake out.”

                                   Comments for the Week Beginning June 29, 2009 






Written by Raymond Merriman   

 
Review and Preview



 Last week’s new moon in opposition to Pluto was filled with classical issues related to the principles of Mundane and Financial Astrology. In these studies, Pluto pertains to debt, financial crisis, scandals, death, and the threat of removal. The new moon was conjunct the USA Venus (loved ones), and with transiting Pluto in opposition, the country grieves over the death of two of its most famous entertainers of the past 30 years: Michael Jackson and Farrah Fawcett. In politics, South Carolina Governor - and former 2012 GOP Presidential hopeful – Mark Sanford disappeared for several days, only to reemerge with a confession of an affair with a woman from Argentina. And the financial world experienced a jolt when the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform (how’s that for a Plutonian title?) took the venerable Federal Reserve Board chair to task for his alleged cover-up and abuse of power in the handling of the financial crisis where Bank of America “took over” Merrill Lynch, supposedly against BofA’s will (but because of the strong arm tactics of Ben Bernanke and then Treasury Secretary Hank Paulsen).

 Yet all of these profound and disturbing events did little to roil the equity markets of the world as they continued to behave as if relaxing in a floatation tank, gently gliding up and down in the soft breeze of the Jupiter-Neptune conjunction. “What me worry?” Most of these markets fell to new two-three week lows last Tuesday or Wednesday, which was well within three trading days of the June 19 three-star geocosmic critical reversal date. But these declines were not steep enough to fulfill the usual price targets for primary cycle lows. By the end of the week, most indices were near their weekly highs. Crude Oil and precious metals followed the same course, bottoming early in the week, and then rallying modestly into the end of that same week. It is classical Jupiter-Neptune: “big fog,” wondering when the landscape will become clear. Talk about “climate control.” Two more weeks, as the second passage will be completed on July 10. The big question is what the social, financial, and political landscape will really look like after that fogs lifts. The realization is sinking in that this is not the same world we once knew, for better or worse. We are already realizing that the “green shoots” of economic recovery don’t seem to be continuing. Was it all a mirage and “wishful thinking?” Jupiter and Neptune.

Short-Term Geocosmics



 The peak of the Jupiter-Neptune experience may be most evident in the next two weeks – not that anything involving Neptune is ever too evident. Well, let me correct that. The feeling of “love” may be evident. But it is not likely to be real, except insomuch as one “feels” it. Neptune rules infatuation, not necessarily the “real deal.” And with Jupiter involved, infatuation with something may be way over the top, for these two in combination is not considered a dynamic of good judgment. For this week, we find Venus making a waxing square to the Jupiter-Neptune conjunction on July 1, followed Mars doing the same on July 6. The second Jupiter-Neptune conjunction itself takes place on July 10. So the first ten days of July are a lot of Jupiter and Neptune, or exaggeration of dreams and tears. There are going to be at least two high profile funerals. And with Uranus changing directions in Pisces also on July 1, there may be another sudden shock to the world during this period. Uranus rules high winds, tornadoes, and earthquakes. But taken within the context of Jupiter and Neptune, the symbolism is more like a tsunami. It may be way off from land as it starts. People may not be aware of the power that is about to be unleashed. But by the time it ends (say the second half of the month, or even second half of this year), the force of a tidal wave may be too great to ignore. For now, we can only observe the decisions being made and hope that they are well-thought out and wise.
