Comments on General Global Predictions of
the last month
As
predicted last month, during September, there were clear signs of declining
violence and natural or man-made accidents, and again as predicted, the
violence irrupted only during the third week of September (September 18 and
19) in the form of bus bombings in Israel and civilian killings in Kashmir. Also,
President Bush indeed announced his plans to dethrone Saddam Hussein in Iraq
during the last week (Sept 24 onwards) of the month and took his case to
Americans for winning their support.
With
retrograde Mercury delaying plans or activities till October 7, and then
beginning October 11, both retrograde Saturn and retrograde Venus poised to
turn our lives (relationships, dealings, and daily chores) into messy and
frustrating ones mainly due to either by clouds of suspicion,
misunderstandings or by happenings that are beyond our control, the month of
October for most of us, it seems, going to be a real trying one. And that
frustration will reflect in world politics. Delays which are longer than
normal and poor payoffs for painstaking efforts by world leaders to make our
world a better place are likely to become norms during October. However,
on a positive note, Pluto-Jupiter trine will be responsible for an emergence
of a new philosophy, and people will welcome this philosophy as a refreshing
change in their lives. Religious leaders who are ready to embrace this
liberal yet morality based philosophy are likely to see their popularity on
rise.
Major
planetary configurations that are going to influence news around the world in
October are: Neptune-Uranus ninefold quincunx, Uranus-Pluto ninefold (Sept
24-Oct 11) and Saturn-Mars regular squares, Pluto-Neptune (Sept 10-Oct 6),
Uranus-Rahu (Sept 3-Oct 5) ninefold and Pluto-Jupiter regular trines, and
Pluto-Saturn (Oct 7-26) ninefold sextile, and retrograde Mercury,
Venus, and Saturn. While the favorable ninefold trines and sextiles will be
responsible for world stability and prosperity, the retrograde Saturn, Venus,
and Mercury along with the squares and quincunx will likely to unfavorably
tilt the overall balance more towards pessimism and frustration.
The
countries that are likely to dominate media will be: United States, Russia,
Iraq, Israel, Palestine, and some European and Middle-East countries.
Religions around the world are likely to experience transformation that are
likely to be more inline with people's needs and creativity. However, a
possibility exists that major world religions may find themselves on a
collision course, but in my opinion, humanity will prevail in subverting the
likely disaster.
Major
news: Bali Hotel Bombing, Russian Chechnian rebel standoff and Russian troops
storming the theater to rescue hostages, Sadam Hussein's continued political
game: release of prisoners, allowing the UN inspectors, Suicide bombings in
Israel.
-
United
States
of America: Neptune-Uranus ninefold
quincunx is likely to create an environment of deception at workplaces,
social gatherings, and political rallies. It would be difficult to
separate reality from deception. The
relationship between Russia and USA (particularly Bush administration) is
likely to become more strained, and as a result, President Bush will find
himself frustrated in carrying out his crusade of dethroning of Saddam
Hussein's regime in Iraq. President Bush and his administration must be
careful in dealing with his allies, and based on his progressive chart, he
is likely to face an uphill battle both at home (Republicans) and abroad
(allies) in convincing them the need for overthrowing the Saddam Hussein's
regime, and subsequently may be forced to abandon his idea of taking
Saddam Hussein's regime out sometimes in October or November. If not, he
is destined to face a very challenging and frustrating fall and possibly
winter with a failed mission. From health standpoint, it would be
prudent of him to take extra care of his health and safety during this
month.
President Bush is still dealing with allies for the
support in carrying out his agenda of dethroning Sadam Hussein with very
little success.
During
the second week of October (Oct 12-15) the Republican party is likely to
suffer a political setback. In general, both democrats and republicans are
likely to play safe with least amount of friction between them at least
until the fourth week of the month. Extreme weather conditions and a
possibility of a severe natural or man-made disaster is likely during the
first eleven days of the month.
Hurricane
Lili (Oct 3), Washington area sniper (7 out of 9 people were killed during
the first eleven days of the month).
·
Russia:
Despite
a likelihood of strenuous relationship with Bush administration Putin
administration should have relatively easy time during Oct 7-26. The
economic progress will continue unabated. However, a possibility of a
political or social crisis during Oct 12-15 period can not be ruled out.
Moscow
theater hostages taken by Chechnian rebels and storming the theater by
Russian troops to rescue the hostages occurred during the third week of the
month and not during Oct 12-15 period.
·
Europe:
October is not going to be so bad for Europe. Besides a likelihood of either
natural or man-made calamity during the second week of the month, the
continent should experience a smooth sailing though this month.
·
India
and Pakistan:
For the subcontinent the period of October 12-15 is not favorable. During
those days the tension along the border and cross-border terrorism is likely
to rise.
·
Religion:
In general, October may prove to be a crucial month for world religions.
While a lot of progress is expected in expanding religious activities all
around the world, a possibility of religious turmoil exists, especially in
the United States, during October 18-22 period. In addition, there is a
possibility that major
world religions may find themselves on a collision course, but in my
opinion, it's likely to be a short lived event.
There
was some news about disagreement between the Vatican and US religious
leaders.
·
Natural
and
Man-made Calamities:
Except for the first eleven days, October, will likely to be a relatively
quiet month. More accident prone period, in my opinion, will be October
1-11, and perhaps October 12-15 affecting mostly United States, Israel, and
Palestine.
Bali
Hotel Bombing (Oct 9-10) killing mainly foreigners with anti-american bias,
Suicide bombings in Israel (3 incidences during the first two weeks of
October) killing nearly 20 people, hurricane
Lili (Oct 3), Washington area sniper (7 out of 9 people were killed during
the first eleven days of the month)
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, and equally intensive droughts; and
thunderstorms, earthquakes, air crashes and fires.
Comments on the last month's World Financial Markets
predictions
For
the world financial markets, October is going to be somewhere between mixed to a
bullish month. In general, the planetary configurations that are going to
affect the financial markets are: Neptune-Uranus and Neptune-Ketu ninefold
quincunx, Pluto-Uranus ninefold and Saturn-Mars regular square, Pluto-Neptune
and Uranus-Rahu ninefold and Pluto-Jupiter regular trines, and Pluto-Saturn
ninefold sextile.
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.
October
1-2: Bullish to mixed
October
3-5:
Mixed to bearish
October
6-9: Bearish
October
10-11: Mixed to bearish
October
12-15: Bearish (possibly sharply bearish)
October
16-22: Bearish to mixed
October
23-27: Mixed to bullish
October
28-29: Mixed
October
30-31: Bullish
Except
for the bearish prediction of Oct 12-15, the predictions were pretty much
in-line with actual market performance. In hindsight, the prediction of
"possibly sharply bearish" should be "highly
volatile".
