Brainstorming Monday - part 1

1. This weeks astro pattern is very unpleasant and will not change next week - the basic assumption is whatever has or creates problems right now will have/bring more going forward that will be even messed with as mercury retrograde motion starting today - which means communication will be messed up delays and even des-information will be a dominant factor for 3 weeks. Technical equipement will not work as usual ( privately you should stay away from signing new contracts) and market signals might be flawed as well. Nevertheless the Uranus Saturn opposition being exact on the 26th had the market drop the last 2 out of 3 in the last 14 months by 20 % shortly after the exact position. Other planets had their influence as well and they have changed - but basically its save to say that this pattern is not a good one for stocks. I discovered is another not pleasant parallel which is was very harmful back in June 1783 and brought a deadly outbreak of an Island volcano event with it as 2 other planets were aligned with Saturn ,Uranus in a very similar pattern. Which brought famine death rather a big disaster over the whole world ( an earlier post 'acid rain' tells you the details) - lets hope airline trouble is all we have by this one.

2. Sentiment has improved to a level confirming my assumption that the correction has started and quite some way to go as the Goldman (rather Wallstreet bankster pattern) is now in the open and the way they make money is now revealed and no way to hide this pattern anymore. It will be a big bonanza for the other group of greedy bunch of lawyers to go for the billion law suits - SEC has opened the floodgates and the bank lobbyists are suddenly all out of ammunition. Any rally Goldman earnings might deliver is rather a selling opportunity.
