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.
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.
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.
