Guest guest Posted January 14, 2009 Report Share Posted January 14, 2009 Dear friends, The US stock market has again taken a turn for the worse. In the SAMVA USA chart, the affliction of transit 8th lord Saturn is exact, sub-period lord Jupiter is debilitated in transit, and most of the FB's are afflicted: - transit 3rd lord Mercury (rules commerce, stock exchanges, confidence) is conjunct stationary Rahu (confusion) - transit 4th lord Venus (rules housing, aviation, autos, luxury goods etc) in the 8th house is afflicted by natal Ketu (sudden setbacks) - transit 10th lord Mars (industry, confidence) in the 6th house is afflicted by natal Rahu - and today, 1st lord Moon (self) is afflicted in 2nd house by natal Rahu. - transit 2nd lord Sun (wealth, status) is in extreme infancy in 7th house. As noted on January 8th, we are expecting more concerns on financial markets related to the conjunction of transit 2nd lord Sun with the nodal axis in late January, when transit 6th lord Jupiter (financial stability) becomes conjunct natal Mercury. In February, the concerns would continue with transit Jupiter becoming conjunct the transit stationary Rahu. Thursday, January 8, 2009 Financial concerns ahead In the SAMVA USA chart, the transits in coming months suggest increased concerns about financial stability in the USA.

JPMorgan Chase & Co., Macy’s Inc. and American Express Co. sank at least 4.8 percent after the Commerce Department said purchases decreased 2.7 percent in December as job losses and dwindling access to credit forced consumers to reduce spending. Citigroup Inc. slid as much as 17 percent as Chief Executive Officer Vikram Pandit works to unravel the financial-services empire following four straight quarters of losses. Deutsche Bank AG fell 8 percent after the lender said it had a loss of 4.8 billion euros ($6.3 billion). The MSCI World Index slid 3.4 percent to 858.34 at 11:18 a.m. in New York.

Guest guest Posted January 15, 2009 Report Share Posted January 15, 2009 Dear list members, It seems the banking stocks in the USA are under most pressure at this time due to funding concerns. With SA and the SAMVA USA chart, we can say we are not surprised by this development. Indeed, Jupiter as a key indcator of banking (along with the Sun) and the sub-period lord in the SAMVA USA chart, is now debilitated in transit at 8° 22' Capricorn and afflicting both natal 1st lord Moon at 7° 19 Taurus/H11 and 3rd lord Mercury at 12° 05' Capricorn/H7. Other afflictions were mentioned in yesterdays message. U.S. Stocks Retreat on Concern Banks Need More Government Aid By Eric Martin Jan. 15 (Bloomberg) -- U.S. stocks fell for a second day as concern grew that Bank of America Corp. and Citigroup Inc. will need more government aid, while reports showed declining producer prices and an increase in initial jobless claims. Bank of America, the biggest U.S. bank by assets, plunged 23 percent to an 18-year low. Citigroup Inc., which has already received $45 billion of U.S. assistance, slid as much as 26 percent. Apple Inc. tumbled 4.8 percent on Chief Executive Officer Steve Jobs’s plan to take a medical leave of absence. The Standard & Poor’s 500 Index retreated 1.8 percent to 827.54 as of 11:26 a.m. in New York. The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 113.74 points, or 1.4 percent, to 8,086.4. The Russell 2000 Index slipped 1.8 percent. “The economic environment and news is the most important factor for the market right now, and it’s not a positive,” said Dean Gulis, part of a group that manages about $2.5 billion for Loomis Sayles & Co. in Bloomfield Hills, Michigan. “Unemployment will continue to rise for some time. It reinforces the sense of overall weakness.” http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=20601087 & sid=abeSiWWXtxWQ & refer=home Best wishes, Thor Cosmologer <cosmologersamva Sent: Wednesday, January 14, 2009 4:29:03 PM US stock market takes a dive Dear friends, The US stock market has again taken a turn for the worse.

Guest guest Posted January 20, 2009 Report Share Posted January 20, 2009 Dear friends, The US stock market is continuing to do poorly, with the Dow Jones Industrial Average having fallen below the 8,000 level. If you will recall, it was predicted on January 8, 2009 that financial concerns lay ahead. Such concerns have indeed materialised and they are expected to continue until the second half of February 2009, when transit debilitated 6th lord Jupiter becomes conjunct the stationary Rahu in Capricorn. Venus - Jupiter period is operating in the SAMVA USA chart (Perpetual Union). Presently, the difficulty is seen also in transit 4th lord Venus in the 8th house being opposite transit afflicted 8th lord Saturn in the 2nd house. Transit 10th lord Mars is badly placed in the 6th house. Transit 2nd lord Sun and 3rd lord Mercury are widely conjunct transit 6th lord Jupiter. Transit 1st lord Moon was earlier today conjunct natal Jupiter. Jan 20, 2009 - US Market Closed NASDAQ 1440.86 -88.47 -5.78% DJIA 7949.09 -332.13 -4.01% S & P 805.22 -44.9 -5.28% U.S. Stocks Slide in Dow Average’s Worst Inauguration Day Drop By Elizabeth Stanton Jan. 20 (Bloomberg) -- U.S. stocks sank, sending the Dow Jones Industrial Average to its worst Inauguration Day decline, as speculation banks must raise more capital sent financial shares to an almost 14-year low. State Street Corp., the largest money manager for institutions, tumbled 59 percent after unrealized bond losses almost doubled. Wells Fargo & Co. and Bank of America Corp. slumped more than 23 percent on an analyst’s prediction that they’ll need to take steps to shore up their balance sheets. The Dow’s 4 percent slide was the most on an Inauguration Day in the measure’s 112-year history, according to data compiled by Bloomberg and the Stock Trader’s Almanac. “All the banks are going to have to recapitalize,” said Greg Woodard, portfolio strategist at Manning & Napier Advisors Inc., which manages $16 billion in Fairport, New York. “That’s not done. That’s in front of them, and we don’t want to try to get in front of that trade.” http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=20601087 & sid=aOYw.awwsNSg & refer=home Best wishes, Thor PS The attached chart for the inauguration time today, shows that 3rd lord Mercury and 2nd lord Sun, which is the planet representing the President, were exactly conjunct when the oath was taken (Sun 6°47' and Mercury 6° 41' Capricorn).
