Comments on General Global Predictions of
the last month
As
predicted last month, the first half of April was dominated with the
Middle East conflict that continued through the first half of April with no
letting up in terrorist activities in that part of the region
(Israel and Palestine). Also, the
first two of weeks of April were overwhelmed with news
in the area of bio-technological and computer technology research,
and almost the entire month of April was plagued with morality crisis
(sexual conduct of cardinals and bishops in the churches of the
United States) in the religious world, especially in
the United States.
The
major planetary configurations that are likely to influence the world events during
May are: Uranus-Saturn (May 14-19), Uranus-Jupiter (May 4-7), and
Rahu-Jupiter (May 25-27) ninefold trines. However,
the evil Pluto-Mars (May 7-10) and scary Pluto-Saturn (May 19 - June
1) oppositions and destructive Uranus-Rahu/Ketu (May 18-31) ninefold squares
will likely to
become cause for another round of a fresh terrorist activity in the
Middle East, United States, and to some extent in Europe.
In
retrospect,
I should have considered the influence of Rahu-Pluto opposition and Ketu-Pluto
conjunction and included India-Pakistan conflict in my last month's
predictions.
The countries that are likely to make headline news
are: USA, Israel, Palestine, European countries. Expect some sudden outbreak of
war-like climate (particularly in the Middle East), and possibilities of man-made
calamities (terrorism).
-
United
States: The
last half of the month (May 18 - June 1) will turn out to be very crucial as
either a new wave of terrorist activities are likely to hit the
shores of the USA or USA getting deeply involved in the Middle
East conflict and perhaps with military commitment as the
Uranus-Rahu/Ketu
squares will intensify the Middle East conflict. The conflict and
the deep US involvement is likely to overwhelm the country and
(perhaps) likely to manifest into hot political debates over the
Middle East conflict as the third and the fourth week are
certainly unfavorable for the entire country.
For President Bush this is the time of test of his Presidency as a serious regular and ninefold
Pluto-Saturn opposition along the first-seventh house axis in his
progressive ninefold chart will dominate this month causing him a
lot of anguish. Bush administration
must deal with difficult and serious issues and clearly define the
course of action. Regardless of the outcome, President Bush will
never forget the summer of 2002, perhaps the most difficult period
of his career. In a nutshell, United States and particularly
the President Bush and his administration should take extra precaution in
dealing with foreign matters. Terrorist activities are very likely to occur in
the United States besides the volatile region of the Middle-East (Israel and
Palestine).
Except for the
first two week of the month, Republic Party will be facing tough
political issues and frustrating experiences.
For Democratic Party, the second half of the
month is not favorable. The party must deal with the potential
negative consequences of the issues that it has been riding with.
·
Russia: No serious news are likely to come out
of Russia that will significantly impact the world events during
this month.
·
China, Hong Kong, and
Pacific-rim countries: For China, the entire month
is a bag of mixed results as on one hand she will find it
difficult to reconcile with her neighbors but on the economic
front China is likely to do very well along with the other
Pacific-rim countries.
·
Europe: For the entire continent the
second half of the month doesn't look good. Economical conditions may
suffer due to likelihood of outbreak of potential man-made terrorist activities.
·
Religion: The world of religion is likely
to enjoy the return of stability, and the current positive
planetary forces will manifest into further expansion of the
ongoing religious activities. However, the American churches
will need some more time to heal from their recent morality
crisis.
·
Natural and
Man-made Calamities: The
days that could bring such calamities are likely to be: May 7-10
and May18-31.
The areas that are going to be affected will be the United States,
Israel, Palestine, Europe, and also some of the other Middle
Eastern countries.
In
addition to on going suicide bombing activities in Mid-East
(Israel-Palestine region) and Kashmir regions, China -Air crash,
collapse of interstate bridge in Oklahoma, USA, and Arizona wild
fires are other notable events.
While
man-made calamities may manifest themselves in terrorism, unrest,
violence, and accidents, the natural calamities are likely to
include extreme weather conditions such as severe cold winters in
the northern hemisphere, and equally intensive droughts in the
southern hemisphere; and thunderstorms, earthquakes, air crashes
and fires.
Comments on the last month's World Financial Markets
predictions
For the world financial markets,
second half of the month is likely to turn out to be bearish to very bearish.
With that backdrop the markets are likely to finish up with losses for the
month. In general, the planetary configurations that are going to
affect the
financial markets are: Saturn-Pluto, and Pluto-Mars ninefold and regular
oppositions, and Uranus-Rahu/Ketu ninefold squares will influence markets to
become very volatile and bearish. Although Uranus-Saturn ninefold trine will provide favorable atmosphere for the world financial
markets to rise the negative influence of the squares and oppositions will
overshadow markets with bearishness.
It must be noted that the basis for the following predictions
mainly includes the influence of the planets Saturn, Jupiter, and Mars along
with the slower moving modern planets Uranus, Neptune,
and Pluto. For the ninefold analysis, the fast
moving planets like Mercury, Venus, Sun, and Moon can also influence the outcome
of the world markets. However, these influences, although usually insignificant,
are difficult to account for as the analysis then becomes too complex to make
market predictions. Therefore, should it
become necessary to account for the influence of fast moving planets the timely advanced updates whenever
appropriate will be provided.
May
1: Bullish
May
2-3:
Mixed to bearish
May
4-7: Mixed
May
8-9: Mixed to bearish
May
10-12: Bearish
May
13: Mixed
May
14-17: Bullish
May
18-23: Mostly bearish
May
24-31: Bearish (few of these days likely to be
sharply bearish)
Overall
the world financial markets predictions for the month of May were inline with
the actual market performance. The month ended up with losses for financial markets around the world as
predicted.
