October/November Forecast

October 15, 2001

 

 

Review Recent Forecasts.

 

1. The September 2001 Forecast, published Sept. 7, predicted

religious fanaticism between Sept. 10 and 14. The terrorists attacked

Sept. 11.

 

2. The September 2001 Supplemental Forecast, published Sept. 17,

predicted the U S attack between Oct. 1 and 5, with "secret movement"

indicated Oct. 2. The actual attack began Oct. 7, and President Bush

made the attack decision Oct. 2. (Note: Mercury retrograde from Oct.

2 to 24 has confused communications, suggesting a delay in the

attack. Saturn's organization and focus have also been weak due to

its retrograde beginning Sept. 27, also serving to delay military

action.)

 

3. The September/October 2001 Forecast, published Sept. 22 used a

likely chart for Osama bin Laden to confirm the Oct. 1 to 5 U S

attack and predicted for bin Laden "...disruption in his home that

imprisons him." The U S attack has certainly curtailed his

activities, imprisoning him in his home, but his current situation is

unknown.

 

4. On Sept. 22, a financial clients e-mail prediction stated "....may

be a rise from a market bottom starting then - around 9/27." The

market recovery began Sept. 27.

 

Forecast for October/November 2001

 

Further predictions have been put on hold until after the results of

the U S attack prediction. Also, Mercury retrograde confusion (Oct. 2

to 24) and lack of Saturnian organization and focus due to its

retrograde (beginning Sept. 27) have clouded future results of the

momentum created Sept. 11.

 

It is also vital to understand planetary significations influence

both individuals and the world. Thus, this astrologer has not been

able to organize (Saturn) his thoughts (Mercury) to interpret

planetary influences upon the disorganized and confused world

situation. These energies affect us personally in our own individual

way, but there's a common thread - it's tough to look ahead when

these two planets are directing attention backward and inward

following the momentous event of Sept. 11 A lesson here may be that

we need first to look to the past and within ourselves to gain

necessary perspective for understanding the current world and our

place within it.

 

However, the wheel of karma inevitably turns with the planets'

movements, and there appears to be major change just ahead. Here are

my thoughts. (Note: times are EDT)

 

1. Currently, the Sun (power and government) and Mars (energy) are

weak as they both approach the edges of their respective sign

positions. The Sun enters its fallen sign of Libra and becomes strong

Friday Oct. 19, and this fearful position may bring bullying action.

Mars enters its exalted sign of Capricorn on Sunday morning, Oct. 21.

This is good because Mars is getting away from mystical Ketu, which

has brought such `seething anger" and frayed everyone's nerves. This

is also bad because the planet of war will be fully empowered to gain

revenge and wreak damage.

 

Highly aggressive action by any party is likely Sunday morning Oct.

21, and further action is indicated about noon on Tuesday, Oct. 23.

Expect creativity here relating to medicines - biological warfare?

President Bush may decide to invade Afghanistan and/or step up

pressure upon Iraq or other nations harboring terrorists. Radical

Muslims in various countries will protest with violence. Terrorist

revenge against the U S and its allies is also expected. These

choices are truthfully only guesses and are suggested to give an idea

of the range and scope of impending violence.

 

2. This elevated and escalating military, civilian and terrorist

aggression will continue until about November 4, when Mercury

(intellect) and Venus (love and compassion) move together into Libra,

the sign of balance, from which they aspect Mars' warfare sign of

Aries. This signifies a toning down of violence and the beginning of

reconciliation. However, meaningful progress will not occur until the

Sun moves out of its fallen sign and into Scorpio November 17.

 

3. The economy and its markets will continue in their uncertain

manner until after October 24, when the nature of the conflict

becomes clear and Mercury begins forward motion again, bringing

further clarity. It is anticipated that then the substantial negative

economic impacts of the terrorism war will become known and felt and

that the escalated and broadened warfare will further depress

markets. Markets, then, will tend to hold up until the last week in

October and then slide down until mid November when reconciliation

begins.
