On SA mundane astrology predictions

[Guest guest]

Hello Sam and list members,

 

It is helpful to reexamine predictions. Here are some recent predictions by with regard to the US financial market and economy and an attempt to evaluate the outcome. In some cases the verdict is still out.

US FINANCIAL MARKET

On July 12, 2009 said:

"The tough decisions by US in October, 2009 and November, 2009, may prove to be incorrect decisions for economic and international scenario."

 

This suggests the decision by the government to allow CIT Group to enter into bankruptcy protection is the wrong one. The health care reforms, which are in the process of being enacted, are highly controversial. While seemingly well intentioned, they are being criticised by the political opposition for their impact to e.g. reduce the efficiency in the provision of health services and to increase the public debt. The US foreign policy activities of the USA to mediate in the Iran nuclear crisis have been highly controversial, with Israel being especially critical. The recent UN plan to resolve the crisis has also yet to be accepted by the Iranians and the USA and Israel have mentioned that the military option "is still on the table". So, we have perhaps yet to see how that story ends.

 

made the following prediction on September 22, 2009:

"There is a possibility of threat to easy gains and setback to financial markets around first week of October, 2009."

 

The outturn in financial markets in the first week of October was mixed. While stocks performed better than expected given the significant amount of concerns expressed in the media (a "threat"), the dollar was extremely low and interest rates were edging higher. The number of bank failiures continued to increase at a fast pace during the month.

 

On September 26, 2009 said:

"As already said the volatility will continue upto the end of the year."

 

 

The year isn´t over yet, but in late September and in October the trend of the stock market was slightly positive but with the last week turning negative (see attached graph). Certainly, the intra day volatility increased again in October, suggesting increased uncertainty about the market direction going forward. This week the market is reacting to the CIT news in a rather favourable way, suggesting that market participants 'in the know' already discounted the outcome last week.

 

made the following prediction on October 12, 2009:

"October 2009 is going to be a difficult time. Financial markets are likely to have setbacks."

 

The media discussion of a CIT failure seems to have reemerged in the second half of October. Moreover, a decision seems to have been in place on Friday, October 30 to allow the bank to fail. Accordingly, this setback in the financial market could be considered to have taken place within the month of October as predicted.

 

US ECONOMY

 

On July 17, 2009 replied to the question of how quickly he saw things turning around after the new year of 2010:

"Generally, this will be gradual as Jupiter in transit would be in the eighth house. Some declines are also not ruled out. Predictions on this will be made from time to time."

 

 

On September 22, 2009 he said:

"During the Saturn sub period things are likely to improve to a good extent once the persisting transit afflictions are over towards the end of the year. The sub period of Mercury will also prove to be helpful barring some transit influences. The economy will be on sound footing in long run with taking care of the extra vaganza like aggressive / risky marketing and huge perks drawn by top bosses of the companies which was prevalent and contributed to the economic setbacks."

 

These predictions are broadly in line with what has been predicted and as discussed in the article Nailed it! from October 27, 2009

http://cosmologer.blogspot.com/2009/10/nailed-it.html

 

In general, there is therefore good reason to be confident about the ability of SA mundane astrology to accurately predict, based on authentic mundane horoscopes, with 'broad brush strokes' what types of strains and events lie ahead.
