Comments on General Global Predictions of
the last month
First
two weeks of March are not good for the world in general, and the
United States in particular. It's going to be a very intensively
anxiety-filled period. There will be more violence and terrorism in the Middle-East
as well as in other regions of the world, and United States will somehow
get tangled with these events. A new wave of attacks by
terrorist organizations like Al-Queda and others are very likely to
occur during the first two weeks of the month. Although from
planetary perspective the possibility of war with Iraq in March is
very low, if it should occur in March, it would be in the first two
weeks of the month. And, as I have been predicting for last few
months, President Bush and his administration would have very little
success with this war and it wouldn't be surprising to see them end up
with a failed mission.
President
Bush during his visit (March 16) with Tony Blair and others in an Atlantic
island decided
to go to war against Iraq's Saddam Hussein. While first few days of the war
were very positive for the coalition forces, Iraqi forces began resisting the
coalition forces as the latter were approaching Baghdad.
While
the third week of March is not positive for Western Europe the last
weeks of the month are not good for Russia and China. A possibility
of a social or political crisis in any one of these places can not
be ruled out.
The planetary
configurations that will
influence world events in March are: Rahu-Saturn ninefold
opposition, Mars-Rahu direct and Pluto-Saturn ninefold quincunxes,
Pluto-Uranus and Neptune-Rahu/Ketu ninefold
squares, Rahu-Uranus ninefold trine, and Saturn-Jupiter and Uranus-Ketu
sextiles.
The countries that
are likely to make headline news are: United States, Russia, China,
Western Europe, Israel
and Palestine, Iraq, and North Korea.
President Bush and his administration:
As predicted last month, President Bush had
been frustrated and consumed in facing his adversaries during February
as Saturn has been remained anchored in the seventh house of his
progressive chart. In addition, his ninefold Uranus has been in the first house
of his ninefold chart and it will stay there till March 18, and that Uranus
has been a cause of stress and agony in dealing with foreign
matters, especially with NATO and western European allies with
respect to disarming Saddam Hussein of Iraq and
anti-war sentiment that was reflected in huge demonstrations of
anti-war protest in major cities all around the world. In addition,
we have seen during February President Bush's declining popularity both home and abroad and diminishing support
from his allies for going to war with Iraq.
Based
on President Bush's current planetary transits, he will continue
to be
frustrated and consumed in facing his adversaries during March too
as Saturn is going to stay anchored in the seventh house of his
progressive chart. In addition, his ninefold Uranus will be in the first house
of his ninefold progressive chart till March 14. The Uranus-Pluto ninefold
square (March 2-15) will certainly cause him a lot of anguish in
carrying out his foreign policy agenda. As it has been repeated
before if he
goes ahead with war he will be in for a long and frustrating
spring with a very little success.
The
second week of March (March 8-13) is good for the country,
especially in mending its strained relationship with western
European countries. Also, optimism about a possible solution in
disarming Saddam Hussein without having to go war against him will
be on rise during this week. However, in my opinion, Pluto-Uranus
ninefold square (March 2-15) will make it very difficult for Bush
administration to reconcile with countries that oppose his
approach in disarming Saddam Hussein. In addition to on
going Iraq situation, a fresh wave of terrorism in
Israel-Palestine area as well as new Al-Qaida suicidal attacks
around the world are very likely, and United States will be
involved in attempting to quench those situations.
Note
that during March 2-15 period despite opposition from major allies
and anti-war protest all around world President Bush ignored UN
consensus and went ahead with his ultimatum of war to Saddam
Hussein on March 17.
During March 2-15 period, the Pluto-Uranus ninefold square could
bring a unique change in the way the current US administration deals with other
nations with respect to its war against terrorism agenda, and also with its domestic matters. There will be a
transformation of a political strategy that might become responsible of a change
in the current political agenda, and foreign policy matters of the Bush administration as the planet
Pluto with its tremendous energy has a power of irreversibly transforming the
field of politics to a new level or setting with a new set of
norms. Expect some serious issues that the Bush administration could get
tangled with.
While
the first two weeks of the month are not favorable for the
Democratic Party and the democrats the last two weeks of March are
unfavorable for the Republican Party.
·
Russia: Saturn-Rahu
ninefold opposition and Neptune making ninefold squares with lunar
nodes will bring new challenges (and probably a social crisis) for
Putin administration in dealing with his domestic as well as
international problems. The relationship with USA (particularly with Bush administration)
will get better. The covert activities in Russia and neighboring
countries will increase. Especially the last two weeks of
March will certainly be very challenging for the entire country.
·
Europe: The Rahu-Saturn ninefold opposition
(Mar 18-24) is not good for the
continent. An outbreak of social crisis or some sort of natural or
man-made calamity is strongly indicated by this opposition. Relationship with USA
is likely to improve. Political covert activities will be on rise.
·
China,
Japan and Pacific-rim Countries: March will not be a favorable month for
China as new (social or political) crisis are likely to take
place. Perhaps the North Korea may become the center of this
crisis affecting the region.
·
Religion:
The entire month will turn out to be very positive for most of the religions around the
world.
·
Natural and
Man-made Calamities:
Except for a few days in the month (Mar 15-18) the entire month is not
favorable. Both the natural and man-made calamities are very likely to
occur as a new wave of disturbance
either in
the form of a terrorism or fighting and extreme weather conditions
are very likely.
Followings
are some of the news headlines that reflect calamities:
March
3: Israel arrests Hamas founder; 8 die in clashes
March
4: Deadly blast in Philippines; 19 dead and hundreds hurt
March
5: Bus bombings kill 16 in Israel
March
5: Blast kills seven in Columbia
March
6: 102 killed after jet crashes in Algeria
March
8: Hamas leader killed in Israeli bombing
March
11: A black hawk helicopter crashes in New York, 16 killed
March
17: Ten Palestinians die in Israeli raid in Gaza
March
19: Iraq war begins
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
In
general, the second half of March will be bearish. The planetary configurations that are going to
affect the
financial markets are: Saturn-Rahu ninefold opposition, Mars-Rahu and
Pluto-Saturn ninefold quincunx, Uranus-Rahu ninefold trine, and Pluto-Uranus and
Neptune-Rahu/Ketu ninefold squares.
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.
March
