Dear David,

If we look to the US rectified chart, the

dasha is Ve/Sa/Ma/Ve/Ke. All the operational

planets are either placed or transit H11. The Sun transits exactly over MEP11,

giving a boost to all the other planets placed there, and confidence to the H5 of

investments. In D5 (investments), D9 (support of Nature) and D11 (gains), the

Sun is a FBP. In D6 (financial stability), the Sun represents easy gains and is

strongly placed in its MT house. Besides, transit Saturn, L4, aspects natal Saturn, and is

aspected by

transiting Moon, L9. Â

Best wishes,

Jorge

dear

vyas & friends:

can

anyone comment on the factors that helped the Dow Jones industrial average to

rise to the highest lever ever on Tuesday afternoon?

(see

article posted below my signature.)

in a

general chart for the day, Venus, Sun and Mars are ruled by Mercury,

which is considered weak, due to the debilitation of its dispositor,

Venus.

Jupiter

and Mercury are also ruled by the debilitated Venus.

Both

Moon and Saturn are in old age, so in essence, all seven of the planets are

weak on some account.

Maybe

dear Vyas can make some comment on this situation as he is well versed in the

financial markets.

thank

you,

Dow: Welcome to record

Blue-chip indicator hits

highest intraday point ever as decline in oil prices proves to be the catalyst.

By Alexandra Twin,

EDT

NEW YORK (CNNMoney.com) -- The Dow Jones industrial

average rose to its highest level ever Tuesday afternoon, taking out the record

trading high hit in January 2000 before stepping back a little, as investors

scooped up a variety of shares amid slumping oil prices.

The Dow industrials (up 73.08 to 11,743.43, Charts) added 0.6 percent

roughly 3 hours into the session and took out its all-time trading high of

11,750.28 hit on Jan. 14, 2000. The Dow reached as high as 11,754.55 before

easing.

The blue-chip indicator remained above its record

trading high of 11,722.98, also hit on Jan. 14, 2000.

The S & P 500 (up 5.16 to 1,336.48, Charts) index added 0.4

percent Tuesday and flirted with a fresh 5-1/2 year high. The broad index

topped out at a 5-1/2 year high last Thursday and has struggled since then.

The Nasdaq composite (up 9.31 to 2,246.91, Charts) added 0.5 percent.

A selloff in tech and commodities stocks weighed on

the Nasdaq throughout the morning, keeping the broader market in check.

But the tone improved near midday, with investors

betting that the steep decline in oil prices means that inflationary pressures

are diminishing and the economy is likely headed for a slowdown, not a

recession, as has been feared.

" The catalyst today is falling oil prices, "

said Peter Cardillo, chief market analyst at S.W. Bach & Co. " Oil

under $60 a barrel today is giving the Dow ammunition to make another try for

those record highs. "

U.S. light crude oil for November

delivery fell $1.81 to $59.22 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange,

after falling as low as $58.84 earlier.

That was good news for most sectors of the stock

market, with 24 out of 30 Dow issues rising. Gainers included aerospace issues

such as Boeing (up

$1.94 to $81.91, Charts)

and Honeywell (up

$0.66 to $42.01, Charts)

and bank stocks such as JP

Morgan (up $0.62 to $47.49, Charts) and Citigroup (up $0.66 to

$50.15, Charts).

However, the plunge in oil prices was bad news for oil

stocks, which slumped. Exxon

Mobil (down $0.88 to $66.12, Charts) and Valero Energy (down

$1.57 to $49.38, Charts)

were among the stocks dragging down the Amex Oil (down 20.87 to 1,053.09,

Charts) index.

COMEX gold for December

delivery fell $16 to $587.30 an ounce.

That sparked a selloff in gold stocks, with the Amex Gold Bugs (down

$13.23 to $289.64, Charts) index

losing 4 percent.

Among other movers, Marvell Technology

(down $2.71 to $16.38, Charts) shares

plunged 13 percent in active trade after saying late Monday that it will

restate financial results going back to its initial public offering in 2000,

due to misdated stock options. The chipmaker also warned that third-quarter

sales will be down 10 percent from the previous quarter, due to weaker demand

from disk-drive makers.

Market breadth turned positive. On the New York Stock

Exchange, losers beat winners 9 to 7 as 850 million shares changed hands. On

the Nasdaq, advancers edged decliners by a narrow margin on volume of 1.04

billion shares.

Last week, the major gauges finished out the best

third quarter since 1997. The S & P 500 rose just short of 5 percent in the

third quarter, while the Dow gained 4.5 percent. The Nasdaq gained 3.8 percent.

Treasury prices inched

lower. The yield on the 10-year note stood at 4.62 percent, up from around 4.60

percent late Monday. Treasury prices and yields move in opposite directions.

It's very clear to me why everything is at their current level. I have been anticipating and predicting the rise of the DJIA if you've been keeping up. Unless I am the embodiment of the 'free will' that you speak of, it is likely that the planets are doing their jobs on que. Study financial markets indepthly and focus on core SA principles of planetary strength, signs, nature of planets etc and the context will be obvious. I have discussed the principles that I use in financial astrology at length, it would be wise to study that for better understanding. The study of this area requires greater effort and attention than human affairs and one cannot expect that being a good SA astrologer for human affairs grants one a natural leap to financial astrology.

Re: stock market

Dear ListIrrespective of what a chart is saying, there is always the matter of free will. The chart doesn't really support the stock market going up with the planet weaknesses as indicated by David. As evident, gold is going down. The free will factor in case of the stock market is Saudi's very friendly relationship with the Bush gang. Saudi increase oil production, then oil price goes down. Oil price goes down, stock market goes up. High stock market makes have happy public to keep the Republicans in place during November elections. Bush and Republicans need all the help they can get with all the recent bad press. A deal was cut between the Bush and Saudi buddies. After elections, stock market will go down with another up before the next US Presential election. Simple politics overriding the chart characteristics based on free will.

When they fall, there is optimism and people put their money in other areas... pull out of energy, put it into other sectors. As the Moon gets weaker, we can expect a further decline in Oil prices.

Dear Jorge,

If you have the time, please comment on the following negative configurations apparent in this rectified Sc chart in the context of the stock market rise:

1) natal Ketu is exactly aspecting tr Sun LO10.

- very troublesome, problems are compounded by a badly placed natal Sun

2) Tr LO12 Ve close to MEP11

- causes a fall in the 11H significations, its lord and all planets placed there

3) LO11 Me in H12 of losses

- losses to all planets in 11H, weakness of 11H

- natal Mercury is weak slightly by age and combustion

4) LO6 closely conjunct (almost exact) natal Saturn LO4

- accumulation of debts in 4H issues (assets, fortune, luxuries etc)

5) Tr Ra L5 natal Me

- Ra can cause gains yes, but not in this situation as natal Me is weak and tr Me is weak and badly placed and we are not in any Ra sub period or sub sub sub period etc

- Fluctuations would be observed with this Ra on na Me.

This Sc chart indicates that a huge fall is coming on the sole power of points 2 and 3 above.

My idea is to see a sustained rise this week. Certainly as all the planets move out of Virgo or get weak, we will see dips in the SM - I have recently discussed this as withdrawal of support causing a fall in price. Let's see what happens.

Best regards,

Vyas Munidas

Dear

Vyas,

The great challenge of predictions is that

it is a dynamic process, involving 12 houses, 12 signs and 9 planets already

placed in certain houses in rashi, simultaneously moving in transit and

evolving in dasha. That is why we tend to look at separate aspects of it, but everything

interacts at the same time and nothing exists independently. It is like adding

vectors in physics. That said, let us look to the aspects you have mentioned:

1)

Ve/Sa/Ma/Su/Su begins on October 4, at 8:15 AM UT. The orb of the affliction of natal Ketu over transit Sun would be more

than one degree, but its effect is still there and it would bring unexpected

decisions concerning easy gains (natal Sun in H8), as natal Ketu is placed in

H3 (initiatives) and transit Ketu, in H11 (gains). Â

2)

Transit Venus over MEP11 after October 7, would weaken H11, all planets

placed there and H5 (investments), as well.

3)

Transit Mercury in H12

weakens Mercury (confidence) and H11, but the losses can be avoided with good investments.

The money is spent now to be regained in the future.

4)

Transit Mars over natal

Saturn would be felt very strongly as both planets are operational in dasha,

but Mars is the less functional malefic planet in rashi, and it also represents

financial stability. However, some losses are seen as it rules H12 in D4, D5, and

D11.

5)

Transit stationary Rahu over

natal Mercury is bringing all these problems in schools. It will bring some

fluctuations but not necessarily all bad, as Rahu is associated with benefic

houses in most of the divisional charts, and the orb of affliction is more that

two degrees.

We have not considered the transit Moon,

which is also an important factor as you know. Let us see how it will develop

during the week.

I will be conducting a meditation retreat

till October 9, so some delay in future messages may happen.

Best wishes,

Jorge

Dow: Welcome to record

Blue-chip indicator hits

highest intraday point ever as decline in oil prices proves to be the catalyst.

NEW YORK (CNNMoney.com) -- The Dow Jones industrial

average rose to its highest level ever Tuesday afternoon, taking out the record

trading high hit in January 2000 before stepping back a little, as investors

scooped up a variety of shares amid slumping oil prices.

The Dow industrials (up 73.08 to 11,743.43, Charts) added 0.6 percent roughly

3 hours into the session and took out its all-time trading high of 11,750.28

hit on Jan. 14, 2000. The Dow reached as high as 11,754.55 before easing.

The blue-chip indicator remained above its record

trading high of 11,722.98, also hit on Jan. 14, 2000.

The S & P 500 (up 5.16 to 1,336.48, Charts) index added 0.4

percent Tuesday and flirted with a fresh 5-1/2 year high. The broad index

topped out at a 5-1/2 year high last Thursday and has struggled since then.

The Nasdaq composite (up 9.31 to 2,246.91, Charts) added 0.5 percent.

A selloff in tech and commodities stocks weighed on

the Nasdaq throughout the morning, keeping the broader market in check.

But the tone improved near midday, with investors

betting that the steep decline in oil prices means that inflationary pressures

are diminishing and the economy is likely headed for a slowdown, not a

recession, as has been feared.

" The catalyst today is falling oil prices, "

said Peter Cardillo, chief market analyst at S.W. Bach & Co. " Oil

under $60 a barrel today is giving the Dow ammunition to make another try for

those record highs. "

U.S. light crude oil for November

delivery fell $1.81 to $59.22 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange,

after falling as low as $58.84 earlier.

That was good news for most sectors of the stock

market, with 24 out of 30 Dow issues rising. Gainers included aerospace issues

such as Boeing (up

$1.94 to $81.91, Charts)

and Honeywell (up

$0.66 to $42.01, Charts)

and bank stocks such as JP

Morgan (up $0.62 to $47.49, Charts) and Citigroup (up $0.66 to

$50.15, Charts).

However, the plunge in oil prices was bad news for oil

stocks, which slumped. Exxon

Mobil (down $0.88 to $66.12, Charts) and Valero Energy (down

$1.57 to $49.38, Charts)

were among the stocks dragging down the Amex Oil (down 20.87 to 1,053.09,

Charts) index.

COMEX gold for December

delivery fell $16 to $587.30 an ounce.

That sparked a selloff in gold stocks, with the Amex Gold Bugs (down

$13.23 to $289.64, Charts) index

losing 4 percent.

Among other movers, Marvell Technology

(down $2.71 to $16.38, Charts) shares

plunged 13 percent in active trade after saying late Monday that it will

restate financial results going back to its initial public offering in 2000,

due to misdated stock options. The chipmaker also warned that third-quarter

sales will be down 10 percent from the previous quarter, due to weaker demand

from disk-drive makers.

Market breadth turned positive. On the New York Stock

Exchange, losers beat winners 9 to 7 as 850 million shares changed hands. On

the Nasdaq, advancers edged decliners by a narrow margin on volume of 1.04

billion shares.

Last week, the major gauges finished out the best

third quarter since 1997. The S & P 500 rose just short of 5 percent in the

third quarter, while the Dow gained 4.5 percent. The Nasdaq gained 3.8 percent.

Treasury prices inched

lower. The yield on the 10-year note stood at 4.62 percent, up from around 4.60

percent late Monday. Treasury prices and yields move in opposite directions.

Dear Jorge,

Thanks for your reply. I tend to view things at their most obvious and rarely delve deeper. In this case the triple transit considerations I have pointed out, in my very humble opinion, do not paint such a fruitful picture of gains in the stock market.

Best regards,

Vyas Munidas

RE: stock market

Dear Vyas,

The great challenge of predictions is that it is a dynamic process, involving 12 houses, 12 signs and 9 planets already placed in certain houses in rashi, simultaneously moving in transit and evolving in dasha. That is why we tend to look at separate aspects of it, but everything interacts at the same time and nothing exists independently. It is like adding vectors in physics. That said, let us look to the aspects you have mentioned:

1) Ve/Sa/Ma/Su/Su begins on October 4, at 8:15 AM UT. The orb of the affliction of natal Ketu over transit Sun would be more than one degree, but its effect is still there and it would bring unexpected decisions concerning easy gains (natal Sun in H8), as natal Ketu is placed in H3 (initiatives) and transit Ketu, in H11 (gains).

2) Transit Venus over MEP11 after October 7, would weaken H11, all planets placed there and H5 (investments), as well.

3) Transit Mercury in H12 weakens Mercury (confidence) and H11, but the losses can be avoided with good investments. The money is spent now to be regained in the future.

4) Transit Mars over natal Saturn would be felt very strongly as both planets are operational in dasha, but Mars is the less functional malefic planet in rashi, and it also represents financial stability. However, some losses are seen as it rules H12 in D4, D5, and D11.

5) Transit stationary Rahu over natal Mercury is bringing all these problems in schools. It will bring some fluctuations but not necessarily all bad, as Rahu is associated with benefic houses in most of the divisional charts, and the orb of affliction is more that two degrees.

We have not considered the transit Moon, which is also an important factor as you know. Let us see how it will develop during the week.

I will be conducting a meditation retreat till October 9, so some delay in future messages may happen.

Best wishes,

Jorge
