MMA COMMENTS
FOR THE WEEK BEGINNING AUGUST 5, 2002
I should clarify something I stated last
week, when I referred to a great T-square forming between Saturn, Uranus,
and Pluto in 2008-2010. These three planets never come into an exact
T-square with one another. They come close, and it can be considered "in
effect," if the orb between these planets does not exceed 10 degrees. In
fact, they get within 3 degrees of hard aspect to one another by 2010,
which is close enough to be effective, in my opinion. But what is perhaps
more important, as alluded to in last week’s column, is that each of these
planets will ingress (enter into) a cardinal sign during the 2008-2010
period. Hence the term "Cardinal Climax" to describe this time
frame.
The last geocosmic "Climax" was between
1988-1993, when the Moon’s North Node, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune all
formed successive conjunctions to one another in the sign of Capricorn,
hence the term "Capricorn Climax." That is remarkable, because each of
these bodies has an orbit of greater than 18 years. In the case of Uranus
and Neptune, the orbits are 84 and 168 years respectively. And like the
"Capricorn Climax," the "Cardinal Climax" too can be expected to correlate
with a major shift in collective consciousness. In other words, the world
as we know it will likely change, and the economic, social, political, and
cultural areas of human activity will be impacted dramatically. You may
remember that during the "Capricorn Climax," the Communist nations of
Eastern Europe were allowed to enter the free market economy. The Berlin
Wall came down after 45 years (Saturn conjunct Uranus). 300 million new
consumers for world goods gave rise to the greatest bull market in the
history of many world stock indices. It also coincided with the advent of
technology (home computer and Internet) as a major economic force. We
changed the way we did business with one another.
I referred to this period (2008-2010) as my
"best guess" as to when the problems encountered during the Saturn-Pluto
opposition of August 2001-May 2002 might peak out. In previous report I
also pointed to this as the time when I believed the "Terrorists" of the
world would likely gain access to, and/or expertise, of using weapons of
mass destruction to effect great havoc on the planet. The threat of
terrorism coincided with Saturn in opposition to Pluto. The reality of
greater destruction from terrorism could increase substantially when
Uranus enters the Saturn-Pluto equation in 2008-2010.
But I also pointed out a geocosmic signature
suggesting a powerful peace movement as well, taking place between
2003-2010. This peace movement would be related to Uranus (mass
consciousness) entering Pisces (urge for peace), in 2003. It will remain
there until 2010. During that same period, Neptune (planet signifying the
wish for peace) will remain in Aquarius (sign correlating with the
principle of mass consciousness), in what is known as a mutual reception.
A mutual reception occurs when two planets are in one another’s ruling
sign. The principles of each are very strong. In this case, Uranus rules
Aquarius and Neptune rules Pisces, so they are in each other’s ruling
sign. So this decade will prove to be very interesting from this
perspective: who will win? The forces of peace (Uranus and Neptune in
mutual reception) or the forces of destruction (Saturn and Pluto joined by
Uranus)? The battle looms large at the end of this decade. The "Peace
Generation" (Neptune in Libra) has their ultimate challenge coming up, and
with it may determine the destiny of humanity as we enter the "Cardinal
Climax."
OK, but what does that have to do with world
financial markets, you might ask. A lot. Typically economies and stock
markets top out around the time of Saturn in opposition to Pluto.
Governments achieve budget surpluses, and prosperity reigns, and every one
eats and works. But after Saturn opposes Pluto, deficits begin to arise,
debts increase, and excess gives way to scarcity, until at least the
waning square between these two powerhouses (2008-2010), and oftentimes
right into the conjunction (2020). As an interesting study, you might go
back and look at the alignment of planets between 1834-35 and 1842. In
1834-35, Saturn was oppose Pluto, Uranus was in late Aquarius about to
enter Pisces, and Neptune was in early Aquarius – same as now. The U.S.
has just balanced in budget, paid off all its debt, from the Revolutionary
War of 1776. But by 1842, as Saturn squared Pluto, the U.S. had a huge
deficit again – so huge, it defaulted on its debt for the first and only
time in history. See any similarities to the past year?
In inflation-adjusted terms, equity markets
tend to perform extremely well between the conjunction and opposition
(1946-1966, 1982-2001). Interest rates tend to go from a high to a low,
which helps stock markets. But between the opposition and conjunction,
debts increase, and so too do interest rates. First the stock market
falters, then as debts increase, the bond markets suffer. This is followed
by problems in the housing-mortgage sector, which is then followed by
problems with banks that can’t collect on loans (usually related to real
estate busts). Equities markets are not stable during the downward part of
the Saturn-Pluto cycle, although there are numerous instances of sharp but
short-lasting rallies. It is just not the gradual rise for many, many
years that was evident from conjunction to opposition. Making money
through the financial markets is much more challenging now. But, it can be
done.
Shorter-term, the U.S. stock market may be
readying for one of those sharp rallies within the down phase of a greater
bear market. It will appear like a new bull market, and I am certain that
many analysts will in fact call it a new bull market. The 4-year cycle is
due to bottom. It either bottomed back on the full moon of July 26 (one of
the possible dates for a bottom discussed at the time in this letter), or
it will bottom with the next primary cycle low, due between
October-January coming up. After this 4-year trough is in, look for a
minimum 5-8 month rally in stock indices around the world.
One reason why July 26 could have been that
low is because it occurred between the July 3-August 10 period, which we
previously identified as a the completion of a bottom from which the
market would commence a minimum 10% rally. This was the time frame in
which Sun, Mars, and Jupiter all formed conjunctions to one another. Sure
enough, on the full moon, the Dow Jones Industrial Averages bottomed at
7500 area, and have since risen over 15% in just one week. Along with this
rise, currencies like the Euro have fallen against the Dollar. So has Gold
and Silver. The key aspect in that cluster is the Sun conjunct Mars, which
actually takes place next Saturday, August 10. There are more 10% or
greater moves in U.S. stock indices related to this signature than any
other that involves planets within the orbit of Jupiter. This conjunction
also corresponds to hot weather, as in droughts and crop damage, which is
certainly affecting the recent sharp run up in grain prices.
Geopolitically, it can also correspond to aggressive, war-like moves by
various nations in the world. Perhaps Saddam Hussein and Iraq could be
targeted in the next two weeks. Such aggression may lead to a temporary
and sharp 2-3 week rally in precious metals, and maybe even crude oil.
However, each of these markets appears headed lower yet into the end of
the year after the drama settles. Gold’s 56-week low is not due for at
least 10 more weeks, and crude oil’s 4-year cycle low is not due until the
first quarter of next year, and below $17.00/barrel. Both bottoms will
likely occur nearby to one of the three passes of Jupiter in opposition to
Neptune, which begins September 11, 2002.<SPAN
