Comments on Global Predictions for the last month

There are several planetary configurations, both positive and negative, that will be influencing the world events in September. 

The positive ones are: Neptune-Uranus (through the entire month), Pluto-Neptune (Sept 8 - Oct 2) and Saturn-Rahu (Sept 1-4) ninefold trines; Uranus-Saturn (Sept 23-26), Neptune-Saturn (Sept 24-28), and Pluto-Saturn (Sept 25-30) ninefold sextiles. These will be responsible for world political stability and economic growth.  Also, advances in technology and science will be more prominent as they manifest through remarkable breakthroughs via research in biotechnology, medicine, high tech industry and engineering sciences.

The negative planetary configurations include ninefold squares of Uranus (Sept 1-5) and Pluto (Sept 4-15) with lunar nodes Rahu and Ketu, direct Uranus-Mars (Sept 2-5) square, Pluto-Uranus ninefold conjunction (Sept 12-25), and Neptune-Rahu (Sept 1-11) ninefold quincunx. These will manifest in the form of both natural and man-made worldwide calamities, escalation of violence in Middle-East, particularly in Israel-Palestine and Iraq region, rise in covert activities in Europe and Russia, and breakdown in diplomatic efforts between the United States and Middle-Eastern countries.

The countries that are likely to make headline news will be:  United States, Russia, some of the European countries, Iraq, Afghanistan, Israel, and Palestine, and Pakistan.

• United States of America:    

President Bush and his administration:  

His operating planet Uranus quincunxes his natal Moon through the entire September and therefore, President Bush will certainly likely to flip-flop many times in his decision making process. As a result, he will continue to look to be a weak and exhausted president responsible for his own downfall. In addition, the current position of Rahu quincunxes with his natal Neptune makes him practically blind in seeing the reality and therefore, he will become the victim of his own deception and continue to be a stubborn and isolated man. September (as it was in August) may turn out to be yet another extremely stressful and depressing month for him in dealing with foreign and domestic issues. And again, if he doesn't yield to his opposition on Iraq war issues, he will continue to do worse in coming months.

Sept 3: Iraq troop cuts may no longer be taboo for Bush

On a positive a note, with Neptune's trine with his natal Rahu and Uranus might bring him some relief from continuous pressure from his adversaries.  It may come from an event that will temporarily take him off from the public spotlight.

The Country:

During the first week of the month Uranus-Rahu and Uranus-Ketu ninefold squares, and Uranus-Mars direct square will certainly very negative for the country as their manifestations will be reflected in political confusion, a large scale violence that might include terrorism, and natural calamities. Pluto-Uranus ninefold conjunction (Sept 12-25) may manifest in extreme changes in social and political environments. On a positive note, the Neptune-Uranus ninefold trine will be very auspicious as advances in technology and science will be prominent as they manifest through remarkable breakthroughs via research in biotechnology, medicine, high tech industry and engineering sciences.

For democrats, the first half of September will prove to be a very challenging month.  However, the last ten days of the month looks to be great for them.

For republicans, the first week of the month is positive. But the third week may prove to be disastrous in dealing with Bush administration as well as with democrats on foreign and domestic issues.

·        Russia:  In general, the first ten days of the month are not positive for the country.  During this period the covert activities will be on rise and man-made and natural calamities are likely. However, the relationship between the USA and Russia is likely to improve during this month. The last third of the month is very positive for the country and for the Putin administration, and it will be reflected in the economic growth and political stability..

·        Europe:  In general, first week of September is going to be very unfavorable period for the continent from economical growth and political stability standpoint.  The disagreement of the European Union with the United States on several political and social issues will be prominent.  However, during the third and the fourth week the continent is going to enjoy prosperity and peace. 

·        China, Japan, and Pacific-rim countries:  For most of these countries the first weak of the month is not positive from economy and political stability standpoint. During this period natural and man-made calamities are likely. The rest of the month is likely to witness prosperity and economic growth in the region.

·        Middle East:  The violence and suicide bombings in Iraq, Afghanistan and Palestine-Israel regions will accelerate during the first half of the month. Covert activities and killing behind the scenes will continue to dominate the news. The last week of the month is less negative. The notable dates for violence related activities are: Sept 1-15, 19 - 25.

·        Religion:  The entire month seems to be either neutral or positive (especially during the last ten days of the month) for the religious activities all around the world. 

·        Natural and Man-made Calamities:  The likely notable dates are: Sept 1 -15 and Sept 19-23.

Sept 12: Tsunami warning issued as big quake hits Sumatra

Sept 16: Thai plane crash kills 88 in Phuket

      Earthquakes: Based on our earthquake prediction model, the earthquake(s) of magnitude 7 or higher, if occur, are likely to occur on Sept 3, 9, 10, 13, 20, 25, and October 2.

Sept 2:  Region: SANTA CRUZ ISLANDS, Geographic coordinates: 11.623S, 165.566E, Magnitude: 6.9 Mw,    Universal Time (UTC): 2 Sep 2007 01:05:32, Time near the Epicenter: 2 Sep 2007 12:05:32

Sept 9/10: Region: NEAR WEST COAST OF COLOMBIA, Geographic coordinates: 2.913N, 78.147W, Magnitude: 6.9 Mb, Universal Time (UTC): 10 Sep 2007 01:49:10, Time near the Epicenter: 9 Sep 2007 20:49:10

Sept 12: Region: SOUTHERN SUMATRA, INDONESIA, Geographic coordinates: 4.369S, 101.557E, Magnitude: 7.9 Mb, Universal Time (UTC): 12 Sep 2007 11:10:24, Time near the Epicenter: 12 Sep 2007 18:10:24

Sept 12: Region: SOUTHERN SUMATRA, INDONESIA, Geographic coordinates: 4.517S, 101.381E, Magnitude: 8.4 Mw, Universal Time (UTC): 12 Sep 2007 11:10:26, Time near the Epicenter: 12 Sep 2007 18:10:26

Sept 13: Region: KEP. MENTAWAI REGION, INDONESIA, Geographic coordinates: 2.223S, 99.563E, Magnitude: 7.1 Mw, Universal Time (UTC): 13 Sep 2007 03:35:26, Time near the Epicenter: 13 Sep 2007 10:35:26

Sept 20: Region: KEP. MENTAWAI REGION, INDONESIA, Geographic coordinates: 2.040S, 100.203E, Magnitude: 6.6 Mw, Universal Time (UTC): 20 Sep 2007 08:31:15, Time near the Epicenter: 20 Sep 2007 15:31:15

Sept 26: Region: NEW IRELAND REGION, P.N.G., Geographic coordinates: 4.880S, 153.407E, Magnitude: 6.9 Mw, Universal Time (UTC): 26 Sep 2007 12:36:23, Time near the Epicenter: 26 Sep 2007 22:36:23

During September there were three earthquakes that were of magnitude greater than 7.0.  Two occurred on Sept 12 and one on Sept 13.  Although September 12 (and to some extent Sept 26) was not a date of prediction, since the model does not include influence of Moon (Moon practically makes angles to all the planets during 24 hour period and therefore it's influence was assumed to be the same everyday) it's not at all surprising to experience the prediction date to be off by a day.

For most of the other predicted dates, earthquakes were closed to 7.0, ranging from 6.6 to 6.9.

     While man-made calamities may manifest themselves in terrorism, unrest, violence, accidents, and air crashes, the natural calamities are likely to include extreme weather conditions such as severe cold winters, and equally intensive droughts, hurricanes or typhoons, thunderstorms, earthquakes and fires

Comments on the last month's  World Financial Markets predictions

World financial markets for September will begin with a bearish tone and stay that way through middle of the month with intermittently mixed days of market. Then in the latter half of the month it will turn mixed to 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.

September 1-6: Bearish

September 7-18: Bearish to Mixed

September 19 - 30: Mixed to Bullish

Except for a few days, the world financial markets seem to follow the predictions pretty close throughout the month.
