Comments on General Global Predictions of
the last month
As
we enter in April, Neptune-Uranus ninefold opposition
which
began on March 14 will continue to provide fuel for friction (at
least until April 10) between conservatives and liberals in
the United States.
The Pluto-Rahu ninefold opposition (April 8-23) will likely
to accelerate terrorist activities (including those originated by
Al-Qaida organization) not just only in the Middle East attacking
western interests (particularly those of US and its allies) but also
in Europe and Asia. During the same time a new crisis in Europe and
the occurrences of natural and man-made calamities all around the
world are very likely. However, on a positive note, terrorist
may come under pressure and some of them are likely to be captured during April 16 -
May 9 period.
April has been the worst
month for mounting US casualties in Iraq with different factions of (Shiites
and Sunnis) Iraqis and others simultaneously fighting against US army and
marines in cities of Fallujah and Najaf.
At home 9/11 hearings,
abortion, Iraq war justification provided more fuel to conservatives and
liberals to get at each others throat.
April 19: British police
foiled a series of bomb attacks at a Manchester United Soccer match with the
arrest of 10 people in anti-terror raids.
A terror plot to bomb
Jordanian intelligence building and US embassy in Jordan was foiled.
For science and
technology until at least up to April 10 is a very favorable
period. Acceleration in research activities resulting in
innovations and discoveries in modern medicine and biotechnology
will continue to take place. Innovations in other fields such as high-tech
and information
technology will also make the headlines.
The countries that
are likely to make headline news are: United States, major
European countries, Iraq, Middle Eastern countries including Israel and
Palestine, and Russia.
President Bush and his administration:
For
President Bush during April
Saturn will be squaring his natal Neptune at least until April
15 and the lunar nodes will be squaring natal Pluto from the
last week of the month to the first couple of weeks in May.
As a result, I expect a lot of smoke and mirror type of activities
coming out of Bush White House in defending their position against
the charges brought up by Mr. Clarke as well as on going Iraq
crisis. There may be some changes occurring in the existing White
House cabinet during the same time. But... it's the three
week period beginning the last week of April ..that will prove to
be very crucial for the President. Personally, it's
certainly going to be extremely frustrating for him as the
likelihood of some of his very close associates deserting him or
forced to leave him becomes high. In addition, some of the
key republican leaders are likely to be disappointed with his
performance and more importantly with his
stubbornness.
President
Bush has been frustrated with daily attacks on US army and marines
in Iraq and is under severe pressure from both democrats and
republicans to answer a lot of questions including the Iraq exit
strategy. During the last week President has been having
close meeting with military commanders and key cabinet ministers
for dealings with terrorism in Iraq.
The
Country:
For
the country in general, April is not that bad a month. April 7-19
is really positive period for the country. Positive news with
respect to terrorism related activities are likely after April
16. However, a possibility of either man-made or natural
calamity does exist during April 8-23.
April
21: Over 80 tornadoes swept in Illinois.
For
the Democratic Party April 7-19 is a favorable period to score
some political gains over its rival Republic Party. During the
same time the party may go through a surprise transformation (I
can't really predict what exactly that transformation will be) to
enhance its position for the upcoming presidential election. For the Republic
Party the third week is positive but the last week indicates frustration.
·
Russia:
April
24 through May 2 will certainly be a challenging week for the
Putin administration. More covert activities are likely to
be on rise. However, over all, the country will do just fine.
·
Europe: April 8 through 23 is not
positive for the continent as a major shift in political or in
social arena is very likely to happen causing an irreversible change in
European politics. It may have to do with violence or fighting
against terrorism.
·
Religion:
Religions or religious leaders will come under social scrutiny and
political pressure as traditional norms will be challenged by a new
wave of living demanding more individual freedom and less dogmatic
pressure.
·
Natural and
Man-made Calamities:
April 8-23 is likely to filled with events related to both
man-made and natural calamities.
In
addition to daily bombings and attacks in Iraq (especially during
the first three weeks of the month) there were severe tornadoes in
Illinois and a train collision in Korea causing hundreds dead and
thousands wounded.
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
World
financial markets in the first half of April are likely to be mixed to bullish, then
mixed to bearish and as we approach the end of the month are likely to turn bullish.
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.
April
1: Mixed to bullish
April
2-6:
Mixed
April

predictions pretty close.
