Comments on General Global Predictions of
the last month
The
month of February is likely to bring more violence and terrorism than
normal in the Middle-East region, particularly during February14-22 period. If
war with Iraq breaks out in February it will most likely be during February
14-22 period. However, on a positive note, Neptune-Jupiter direct
opposition will be responsible for optimism for a renewed diplomatic
effort to seek solution to the existing conflict. The same Neptune-Jupiter opposition is good
for religion as it will force the religious world to look for better
ways to deal with current issues (including morality) requiring to
abandon the old ways of doing things.
Anti-war
protest in most major cities around the world in February was a clear
indication of optimism for a renewed diplomatic effort to seek
solution as alternative for war as a result of Neptune-Jupiter
direct opposition as predicted above.
The planetary
configurations that will
influence events in February are: Neptune-Jupiter and Mars-Saturn ninefold and
direct oppositions, Uranus-Rahu and Pluto-Saturn ninefold quincunxes,
Saturn-Jupiter and Jupiter-Pluto ninefold
squares, and Neptune-Ketu, Rahu-Jupiter ninefold trines, Neptune-Rahu
sextiles, and Pluto-Mars direct conjunction.
The countries that
are likely to make headline news are: United States, western
European countries, Russia, Israel
and Palestine, Iraq, China and Korea.
President Bush and his administration:
As predicted last month, the relationship
between Russia and Bush administration will
continue to stay strained. For President Bush, January was not
an easy month
(as deceptive Neptune transits
opposite his natal Mercury and Pluto in the first house. Also, the
ninefold Uranus entered his ninefold ascendant on January 19 while
ninefold Neptune entered in the eighth house of his ninefold chart
on January 23) in dealing with United Nation's security council
and to promote his agenda of a possible preemptive war with Iraq to
remove Saddam Hussein's regime. Following is a summary of
predictions made about Bush administration and Iraq in last few
months:
Predictions made on August 31 for September
2002: "President Bush
is likely to announce his plans to dethrone Saddam Hussein in Iraq
during the last week (Sept 24 onwards) of the month. However, he
must be careful in dealing with his allies, and based on his
current progressive chart, I think he is very likely 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."
Predictions made on September 30 for October
2002: "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."
Based
on President Bush's current planetary transits, he will be
frustrated and consumed in facing his adversaries during February as Saturn stays anchored in his seventh
house. In addition, his ninefold Uranus will be in the first house
of his ninefold chart, and that Uranus will cause him a lot of
stress and agony in dealing with situation that might demand to
let his ego go. To top it all, Mars will be transiting through the
first house of his ninefold chart making him extremely hard to remain
patience and prudent. As a result, in addition to his
declining popularity both home and abroad and diminishing support
from his allies for going to war with Iraq, he very well may find
himself in a situation to fire some of his key cabinet members during this
and the next month to look for a way to exit gracefully. If he
goes ahead with war he will be in for a long and frustrating
spring with a very little success.
The
month filled with news of UN council's dealing of disarmament of
Saddam Hussein has forced President Bush to be somewhat on defensive.
Clearly President Bush has been frustrated with United Nations
and trying hard to get United Nations behind him to carry out war
against Saddam Hussein.
·
Russia: While
retrograde
Saturn will continue to create more challenges for
Putin administration in dealing with his existing domestic problems,
the Neptune-Jupiter opposition will provide him the needed optimism to push
for his domestic agenda with resounding success. The relationship with USA (particularly with Bush administration)
will continue to stay strained. The second and the third week of
February are very positive for the entire country.
·
Europe: The Mars-Saturn opposition during
the third week of February (February 19-22) is not good for the
continent. An outbreak of social crisis or some sort of natural or
man-made calamity is strongly indicated by the Mars-Saturn
opposition. Relationship with USA will remain sour.
·
China,
Japan and Pacific-rim Countries: February is going to be a
positive month for the region as a whole. Chinese government will
earn international prestige while Japan and Pacific-rim regions
are likely to experience positive economical growth.
·
Religion:
The second and the third week will turn out to be very positive for most of the religions around the
world. The last week of the month, however, is not good for
religions, especially in the United States. Religious authorities will come under severe
public criticism for the issues that separate rights from wrongs
and the way they aught to deal with them.
·
Natural and
Man-made Calamities:
While Mars-Saturn and Mars-Pluto squares are most likely to create disturbance
either in
the form of a terrorism, or perhaps a social crisis, the balancing
Neptune-Jupiter opposition will
provide positive energy to counter-act the negative energy caused
by these squares. In general, during February 14-22 the natural and man-made calamities are
most likely.
Following
are some of the headline news for February 14-22 period.
Feb
14: Bomb kills 15 in Columbia
Feb
15: Explosion kills 4 Israeli soldiers in Gaza
Feb
15: Massive storm paralyzes eastern USA. At least 20 people
were killed.
Feb
16: 21 dead in night club panic in Chicago
Feb
18: Subway explosion kills 120 in South Korea
Feb
19: Israeli tanks rolled in Gaza. 11 Palestinians killed.
Feb
19: Military plane crashes in Iran, 302 people aboard dead.
Feb
20: 17 dead in Pakistan air force plane crash
Feb
21: Fiery death at rock show in Rhode Island club,
USA. 96 dead.
Feb
22: Gunmen killed 8 in Pakistan mosque
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
During Feb 14-22
markets will be very volatile. The planetary configurations that are going to
affect the
financial markets are: Mars-Saturn, Neptune-Jupiter oppositions, Mars-Pluto
conjunction, Neptune-Uranus ninefold quincunx, Jupiter-Rahu,
and Neptune-Ketu ninefold trines, and Jupiter-Saturn ninefold square.
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.
February
1-3: Mixed to bullish
February

February

Except
for about 4-5 days ( especially during the second week and the last couple of days of
the month) the financial markets in February pretty much
followed the predictions.
