Mars Marches into the Trouble Zone

 

Last Monday a federal judge ruled that Microsoft violated the Sherman

Anti-Trust Act, and now possible sanctions include breaking up the world's

largest software company. Japan replaced its Prime Minister, and the Celera

Corporation announced it had finished sequencing the humane genome. The stock

market crashed and recovered, and Juan Miguel Gonzalez arrived in Washington.

 

Across the political, economic, and social spectrum historic events have been

arriving at a stunning pace. Last week's events coincided with the

conjunction of Mars and Jupiter, and made momentous from transiting Saturn's

square to the U.S. Midheaven. All three of these planets are in Taurus and

heading toward epochal alignments in May.

 

Many astrologers are watching and anticipating major events around May 3 when

a seven planet alignment takes place in Taurus. While we may certainly

experience unusual and spectacular situations around then, it's important to

recognize that these planets are involved in a process. Genetic research,

anti-trust lawsuits, and political tension between the U.S. and Cuba have

been incubating for years.

 

The transit of Mars is the activating agent. Watch Mars make his contacts to

the outer planets for the long-term processes to reach climactic turning

points. Last week Mars was conjunct Jupiter; next is the conjunction to

Saturn (April 15), followed by the square to Uranus (April 19-20). Mars

square Uranus is an extremely dangerous anarchy vibration since it takes

place on the anniversary of the Waco, Oklahoma City, and Columbine

catastrophes.

 

NASDAQ's First Saturn Return

 

The Nasdaq composite index completed a wild ride last week, as technology

stocks suddenly collapsed and then roared back. Monday's record loss of 349

points was surpassed by a 574 panic sell-off on Tuesday, only to close with a

record 179 point gain on Friday.

 

Tuesday's panic selling coincided with some beautiful astrological

signatures. While "beautiful" is not often a term used to describe huge

financial losses (Bill Gates lost $12 billion), the poetic symmetry apparent

in the support price of 3650 is something only astrologers could appreciate.

 

Last week's roller coaster swings were expected since transiting Uranus, the

planet of volatility, was conjunct Nasdaq's Sun. But when the Nasdaq began

falling on Tuesday, no one knew how far it would go. After accelerating

through successive technical support levels the market finally reached bottom

at 1:20 pm ET at 3650, a level not seen since early January.

 

Another key astrological signpost of last week's plunge was Saturn. The

Nasdaq was experiencing it's first Saturn Return, a time for a major reality

check. Fundamental analysts have long warned of a Tulipmania.com situation,

where internet exuberance is paralleling a situation much like when the

bottom fell out of Holland's raging tulip market in 1637.

 

When the Nasdaq fell to 3650 last week, transiting Mars and Jupiter were

conjunct at ten degrees Taurus, the identical location where Saturn turned

direct in early January, and which marked the previous 3650 support line.

Undoubtedly, the wild gyrations are not over, and it's worth noting that the

Tulipmania catastrophe occurred under the auspices of a Saturn-Uranus square,

the same astrological signature we're entering over the next two months.
