Uranus turned direct on Saturday, November 24. Within two trading days, all the major equity markets of the world were in a free-fall and to say that panic and doomsday scenarios were gripping the headlines would be truly underestimating the fear that was present less than one week ago. But today, November 30, all these same equity markets are soaring strongly for 3-5 straight days up, and the tune being sung is completely different. There was a steepest turnaround in all stocks, currency and commodity markets.

Equally big moves were noted in Crude Oil and Gold. After posting its all-time high at 99.29 on November 21, Crude Oil was down to 88.45 on Friday, a loss of nearly 11%. Gold looked like it was going to quickly soar to a new high when it jumped from 776 the prior week to 832 on Monday. But by Friday, it was back down to 782 intraday.

On Friday, December 7, the Sun will square Uranus. It happens on the day when the Employment and Payroll reports come out, which typically leads to very large price swings anyway. Not only that but early the following week, Jupiter will make its 13-year conjunction to Pluto (ruler of debt, mortgage). The sub-prime mortgage tragedy is a perfect example of today’s Jupiter-Pluto crisis. The extent of those losses is just coming to light. The aspect soon comes to an end, and just as it has in the past, such crises will come to an end too.

All other signatures are quite positive this week. With five planets in fire sign of Sagittarius, and a new moon on December 9, you can expect extremely positive week for all. On same date, we have Mars and Saturn sextile, its extremely positive support.

In conclusion, week seems to be extremely positive. Major event of the month will be Jupiter and Pluto conjunction on December 11. At that time , you will feel excessive bullish or bearish view, nothing in between. This week could help market players to prepare for this mega event.

Venus (plant of love, and fun) will move to water sign of Scorpio on December 5. Venus in Scorpio indicates an emotionally passionate, ardent, sexually uninhibited and intense romantic life. With Venus in Scorpio your needs in love and in your intimate relationships (Venus) are intensity, depth, catharsis, power, personal growth, and transformation (Scorpio). Venus is not as comfortable in Scorpio as in Libra.

On December 3, Venus (love) is in good mood with Pluto (intensity). You will have extremely harmonious relationship near this time.

On December 5, Venus (fun) is not so happy with Uranus (shocking). So, someone can spoil your party near this date.

On December 9, we have extremely positive new moon in Sagittarius. If you are a Leo, it is a great sign for your love life. This kind of support you get once in life-time. If you are born on or near August 9, you will get maximum benefit. This also supports pregnancy, fun or child issues other than romance. So my suggestion for a Leo is go out and have fun.

The week seems to be extremely positive. The New Moon is a time of rebirth—a time when we are given a chance to start fresh. The New Moon in the adventurous, forward-looking sign of Sagittarius will occur on December 9, 2007. What does that mean for you? The New Moon in Sagittarius presents an opportune time to commit to personal goals that express the positive energies of the sign of the Archer. Five planets are staying currently in this sign. With this potent Sagittarius energy, we can find ways to transcend these details of day-to-day life and nurture our faith, hope, and vision. Because Sagittarius thinks in big terms, we may have a tendency to overdo our expectations.

On December 9, we also have Mars and Saturn sextile. It will help you to take practical decisions. If you are born on or near 9th of any month, go ahead and take the risk.

Major event of the month will be Jupiter and Pluto conjunction on December 11. That will again increase the positive mood.

Week will start with harmonious aspect between Venus (fun) and Pluto (passion). On December 5 to 6, Venus (fun) and Mercury (communication) are little stressed. But after that geocosmic energy seems harmonious.

Sagittarius is the leader of this week. If you are born between noon to 2 PM , you will see lot of action in your life.

Many equity markets of the world have fallen below their lows of last August. Many of them have lost more then 10% from their all time high. Only some emerging markets are showing strength in current volatility. There is a sense of panic across the globe for expected US recession, mortgage problems, or subprime concerns.

Crude Oil and many currencies, of course, made new all-time highs against the plunging U.S. Dollar last week. And Gold sprang bank to life smartly after bottoming at 776 last Monday. By Friday, it was back up to 825, just 25.00 away from its all-time high.

There is no major geocosmic event happening this week. We are in middle of three big events. Mars turning retrograde November 14, Uranus turning stationary direct on November 24, and the 13-year Jupiter-Pluto conjunction that unfolds December 11. Each one of these signatures alone could correspond to a collective psychological peak, not to mention a cyclical peak or trough in various financial markets.

1. Mars tends to drive one to take action, usually based upon impulse. The only problem is that when it is retrograde—as it is November 14-January 30—such impulsive action is usually ill-timed.
2. The nature of Uranus is to be more irrational. Markets can move well above resistance zones, or below support zones, and thus there is a sense of a “break-out.”
3. The Sun’s square to Saturn at the end of the month (exact on November 30 at 8º14’ Sagittarius-Virgo) gives us a reality check if we’ve gone astray of our path
4. Jupiter and Pluto come together only every 13 years, and they can coincide with a sense of urgency, even hysteria due to the nature of Jupiter. In this case, it contacts Pluto, ruler of debt and fear of the worst.

On positive side, Venus (planet of stock and currencies) is in own sign of Libra. Additionally, whole week, it is in good mood with Jupiter and Neptune (vision). Gold, Silver and currencies may not see drastic reduction in valuation.

.In conclusion, all major indicators are in favor of bears. In between these major indicators, there are small pocket of supportive pillars. Credit concerns, real estate and recession fears could remain here. Oil could touch $100 mark this week. Gold and silver could remain strong.

I wrote about global shocks near November 23, and we had blasts in India and Pakistan. Significance of Mercury and Neptune square is validated again.

There is no major geocosmic event happening this week. Last week’s events may still show their impact this week. Mars turning retrograde November 14, Uranus turning stationary direct on November 24, and the 13-year Jupiter-Pluto conjunction that unfolds December 11.

Four planets are staying in Sagittarius. This sign defiantly has special edge over others. If you are a Sagittarius, go all out to fulfill your dreams. That also shows significance of global events until December 20.

On other hand, Saturn is staying as singleton in earth signs, Virgo. There could be specific focus on ground realities for all.

The Sun’s square to Saturn at the end of the month (exact on November 30 at 8º14’ Sagittarius-Virgo) gives us a reality check if we’ve gone astray of our path

On positive side, Venus (planet of love) is in own sign of Libra. Additionally, whole week, it is in good mood with Jupiter and Neptune (vision). If you are born on or near 12 to 15, then this week could be full of fun.

http://www.thinkastro.com

Venus (goddess of love) is in good mood this week. It is in trine with Jupiter (luck) and Neptune (vision). You will see lovely support for these three planets. If you are born on or near 12 to 15 of any month, you will feel exceptionally good time in romance. It is also possible to work on any creative project. Venus is in own sign of Libra. It should help all signs. Fire and air signs will get additional support near this time.

Mars is in emotional sign of Cancer and in retrograde motion. Mars tends to drive one to take action, usually based upon impulse. The only problem is that when it is retrograde—as it is November 14-January 30—such impulsive action is usually ill-timed.

The Sun’s square to Saturn at the end of the month (exact on November 30 at 8º14’ Sagittarius-Virgo) gives us a reality check if we’ve gone astray of our path. If you are born near 29th of any month, you could feel little stressed.
Taurus and Scorpio signs are seeing long terms changes in their love and fun area. Scorpio could also see impact this week as Uranus is changing sign on November 23, especially for Scorpio born near November 6th .You could hear something really shocking about your love life.

A cyclone that slammed into Bangladesh's coast with 140-mph winds killed at least 1,100 people near November 16. Mars and Uranus are nearly stationary in middle of water signs of Cancer and Pisces respectively. I also wrote in monthly forecast that Mercury and Neptune (water) square, plus and minus six days, is linked to global level disaster related to human lives. On November 23, these two planets are making square with each other again. On personal level, this could impact people born near 11th of any month more closely. They could be little directionless about future.

On November 24, we have two other important geocosmic aspects. Uranus (planet of surprise) is technically stationary in water sign of Pisces. Uranus is the planet of the maverick, the radical, the alien. Matters seldom go as expected when Uranus is strong, and it has a penchant for surprises. If you are born on or near 6th of any month, expect the impact more closely.

On same day, we have full moon in Gemini. Mercury, ruler of Gemini, is in bad mood with Neptune (vision, water). Gemini is also known for duality. If you are born on or near 23rd of any month, you could be stuck between two options. You could see urgency to finalize one.

This week will begin with Venus (planet of fun, love) forming a waxing square to Mars (planet of energy) on Monday. This is stressed aspect, and linked to physical love. Venus is in own sign of Libra (sign of mental balance). If you are born on or near 4th , you could feel contradiction between physical and mental fun.

This week, we have Pisces, Gemini, Scorpio and Sagittarius most impacted signs.

It was a bearish start of the week, bullish in middle and then a weak ending. There were some sharp changes near Mars retrograde period, November 14. In the United States, the Dow Jones Industrial Average broke slightly below 13,000 for a weekly low of 12,975 early Tuesday. It then rose nearly 400 points into the high of the next day, Wednesday.

Gold fell over $60.00, from a high of 848 the prior week to a low of 784 on Thursday. It was indeed a steep fall. Silver fell nearly $2.00, from 1627 the prior week to a low of 1435 last Thursday. Even Crude Oil pulled back about $8.00/barrel into its weekly low last Tuesday.

This week will begin with Venus forming a waxing square to Mars on Monday. This is stressed aspect. And it could lead to bearish start of the week. With Venus in its home sign of Libra, the completion of this aspect might release Venus to do what it would normally do in Libra, which is to give support to equity values. But the bigger signature occurs on November 23, when Uranus ends its retrograde motion in mid-Pisces. Uranus is planet of surprises and it works differently, prices will go lower or higher than anyone is prepared for. Its impact could be seen near November 23 or plus or minus ten days.

On November 24, there is a full moon in Gemini. Mercury, ruler of Gemini, is in bad mood with Neptune (rumors, over ambitions, frauds). This aspect indicates a difficulty with an overactive imagination interfering with rational and logical processes of thoughts. It will amplify the impact of Uranus’s stationary motion (surprises).

In conclusion, the week could follow same sinusoidal trend of last week. Volatility could increase drastically near November 23. Interestingly, expert could hear something shocking near Friday on sub prime concern, credit issues, or write offs.

http://www.thinkastro.com

I wrote about the week of miscommunication and uncertainty. The Federal Reserve lowered its FED funds rate by a quarter percentage point on Halloween, October 31, as Neptune turned stationary direct. Housing report, job report, economy growth rate and fed rate cut gave mix indication about health of US economy during last week. It created huge volatility in world markets.

Crude Oil now approaches our $100.00/barrel, and as Gold climbs back above $800.00/ounce for only the second time in history (the last was in early 1980). Mars will turn retrograde on November 14, something it does every 25-26 months. We note that the all-time speculative high of $850.00/ounce in Gold occurred in mid-January 1980, just a couple of days past a Mars retrograde. Gold touched $ 630 within days of the Mars retrograde. Is history going to repeat itself in gold prices?

In addition to the soaring prices in Crude Oil and Gold, the Dollar continues to fall to record lows against the Euro currency. Investors enter November with some considerable doubts about corporate earnings, inflation, the continuing credit turmoil, the Federal Reserve's next move, and whether the U.S. might plunge into a recession.

On Tuesday, November 6, Venus will form a waning square to Pluto. The next day the Sun forms a waning trine to Uranus. The next day is also important (November 8), for Venus begins its 27-day ingress through Libra, one might anticipate this being bullish for equities. It also has a strong correlation to a low in Silver prices. Scorpio is hosting new moon on November 9. First aspect is indicating for bearish market while remaining aspects are indicating towards bullish market this week.

In conclusion, markets could remain volatile throughout the week. As both Neptune and Mercury are in forward motion you could see clarity in market direction now. Gold and Silver prices could show downward trend in next two weeks, especially after November 15.

This month's New Moon, which also marks Diwali, the Hindu new year, occurs in Scorpio, on November 9, 2008.If you are born on or near 9th of any month, it’s a powerful geocosmic energy to start something new. Luckily, Uranus, planet of surprises, is strongly supporting this new moon. There will be favorable surprised for you this diwali. Scorpio is the sign that explores beneath the surface of things, focusing on healing and transformation. In terms of healing, whether it is psychological or physical, we are able to dig deep to find the causes of our problems. This is the sign that explores beneath the surface of things. If there's anything that needs to be investigated, Scorpio is the sign to do that, rather thoroughly. This is a time of reflection. We are investigating ourselves, our lives and the situations that surround us.

On Tuesday, November 6, Venus will form a waning square to Pluto. A conflict that you encounter during it is that of chasing your desires, or chasing your needs. This will impact the birthdates of 20th of any month more closely.

The next day is also important (November 8), for Venus begins its 27-day ingress through Libra.. Libra is an "Air Sign", which is why Venus in Libra expresses herself more through the "mind" - thinking and communicating - and is thus more "mental" than "physical" in her appreciation for love and romance and beauty.

Most active Sun – ascendant signs this week are Sagittarius, Scorpio and Pisces. It indicates Sagittarius (born between 12 PM to 2 PM and 6 AM to 8 AM ) and Pisces (born between 12 AM to 2) will see high activity than any other signs.

New moon is happening in water and emotional sign of Scorpio. For all Cancer, this will be excellent opportunity. Romance could easily consume you in the days and weeks that follow the new moon November 9. Not all new moons are glorious like the one that will fall on November 9. Mars in Cancer, Uranus in Pisces, the new moon and Sun will be in Scorpio - all these are water signs - and they will work together to open you up to a beautiful romantic encounter. Cancer, Scorpio or Pisces should get benefited from it. If you are born near 9th of any month, expect the positive surprise near this date.

November 8 is also important, for Venus begins its 27-day ingress through Libra.. Libra is an "Air Sign", which is why Venus in Libra expresses herself more through the "mind" - thinking and communicating - and is thus more "mental" than "physical" in her appreciation for love and romance and beauty. This is great news for all Gemini.

If you see the current attached chart, Scorpio and Taurus are currently in long term love and creativity, thanks to eclipses in Virgo and Pisces combo.

Most of the markets ended in green this week, after seeing huge volatility throughout the globe. In typical Mercury retrograde fashion, equity markets around the world gave mixed messages last week. It is typically a time of mixed messages from political leaders and economic data and it often times results in such large price swings and fake outs. In other markets, Crude Oil and the Euro currency continued their torrid advance to new all-time highs. Gold also advanced strongly to its highest levels since the all-time highs of January 1980. There seems to be no end in sight to these “blow-offs.” T square formed between Venus , Uranus and Jupiter could be a reason of this. You can expect this trend for this week too as Venus is still in this aspect.

Last week, we also heard about recession in housing market. In astrology, this could be explained by Saturn presence in earth sign of Virgo, and its conjunction with South node. Some astrologers linked the north node with property prices. That should continue in 2008 as well when Saturn will be in retrograde.

In this coming week, Neptune turns direct on Wednesday (October 31) and Mercury follows with the same pattern the next day, November 1. That means a Mercury-Neptune theme will be strong in the world for a few days surrounding these days. Since Mercury relates to mental processes and the disbursement of information (like news), and Neptune’s nature is to hide, or retreat, we might anticipate a lot if misinformation to be released. It can be a very confusing time for investors. It is interesting that the FED will make an interest rate announcement around this time. Neptune also rules oil, gases, chemicals, pharmaceuticals, and fluids of all kinds. Jupiter is making great aspect with technically stationary Neptune on October 30. The sextile between Jupiter and Neptune shows imagination and much hope about the future. That can make investors extremely bullish, especially in gold and currency, as Venus is not supportive to this aspect.

In conclusion, this could be the week of miscommunication and uncertainty. If you feel something fishy happening in market, you can expect this to come out in open. Gold and currencies could continue the same volatile run.

http://www.thinkastro.com

An aura of confusion will flood the atmosphere during this week. Neptune turns direct on Wednesday (October 31) and Mercury follows with the same pattern the next day, November 1. That means a Mercury-Neptune theme will be strong in the world for a few days surrounding these days. Since Mercury relates to mental processes and the disbursement of information (like news), and NEPTUNE rules the imagination, and what is happening psychologically is that your creative perception of what is occurring in your world is beginning to change. If you are born on or near 11th and 16th of any month, you will see this uncertainly , confusion and lack of clarity more. Neptune also rules water, oil, gases, chemicals, pharmaceuticals, and fluids of all kinds.

Retrograde Neptune is a time to reassess these guiding visions in our lives. . Jupiter is making great aspect with technically stationary Neptune on October 30. The sextile between Jupiter and Neptune shows imagination and much hope about the future. Venus , lord of fun, is not supportive to this aspect that could make you little unsettled.

Most active Sun – ascendant signs this week are Virgo and Sagittarius. It indicates Virgo (born between 12 PM to 2 PM and 6 AM to 8 AM ) and Sagittarius (born between 12 AM to 2 AM and 6 AM to 8 AM) will see high activity than any other signs.

Major event of this week is full moon in Taurus on October 26.On personal level, this will impact area ruled by Taurus in your chart. The full moon in Taurus (Exact on Friday, October 26th at 12:51 a.m. EDT) is a celebration of the senses, a time to enjoy the earthly pleasures. Taurus stabilizes the lunar moodiness, lending the focus of fixed sign, so you can get things done in a calm, grounded way. This full Moon inspires actions that bring stability and comfort. Venus and Saturn are present in fellow earth sign. Venus, ruler of Taurus, is in bad mood this time. It is opposing Uranus (planet of surprises). So you could hear some surprise news near this time. This full moon will be beneficial for all water and earth signs. Romantically, this time could be little difficult for Virgo, Sagittarius, Gemini and Pisces. The T- square between Venus, Uranus and Jupiter could make it happen.

If you are born on or near 22-30th of any month, you will be most impacted near this time. Additionally, Saturn and North node are making conjunction with each other on October 23 for you. On personal level, this aspect creates isolation. In order to overcome it, you must learn to co-operate with the ideas and the methods of their society.

Keep in mind that Mercury is now retrograde through November 1. You could feel frustration in communication. When Mercury is retrograde, everyone's thinking is more introspective and we tend to think about issues and concerns which relate to the sign involved. Mercury retro in Libra suggests trouble by lawsuits through partnerships or an unfaithful marriage partner. Art and music tend to be a focus, but be sure to keep track of the tickets and make those bookings carefully. All areas of communication are affected, especially in matters related to the family, business, particularly home business, travel, domestic relationships and real estate purchases in general. So it is advisable to crosscheck information provided twice.

Most impacted Ascendant and Sun combinations are Taurus, Pisces and Sagittarius

It was a very significant and very volatile week. I wrote about it in last week’s column “The major planetary cluster in effect was centered on October 11 of last week. It involved the third and final waning square of Jupiter-Uranus (October 9), the Libra New Moon and Mercury retrograde station on October 11, and the third and final conjunction of Venus and Saturn on October 13. Impact of these aspects will also be felt this week as well”. It looks like that all markets reversals were centered around that crucial point, October 11. That was additionally amplified by Moon in Sagittarius. Let’s discuss them one by one.

Mercury retrograde is still going on. That is creating miscommunication, misinterpretation of P- note issue in Indian market. Subsequently, there was huge volatility in stocks. This issue will keep its impact till month end.

Saturn, Venus and South node conjunction made people to be realistic in their expectations in currencies, T- note, silver etc.

Jupiter – Uranus square amplified oil prices to nearly $90. We also note that the all-time highs of the stock market occurred with the New Moon in Libra, when the lunation in Libra coincides with a high, stock prices can fall sharply into the Full Moon two weeks later. he Full Moon occurs this Friday, October 26. I would suspect that if stocks continue down into the end of this week.

We also note that transiting Venus will translate the Jupiter-Uranus square of October 9, from October 25-29. I would expect that to be close to the end of this sharp sell-off. It will be approximately T- square between Venus (planet of currencies), Uranus (planet if sudden swings) and Jupiter (planets of big swings). Other negative sign is Saturn and South node conjunction peaking out this week. That will lead to fear in currencies, T- node, P- note, and silver etc. That Emotionality will be high near full moon in Taurus on October 26. And, Mercury (planet of commerce) is also in retrograde. So platform is set for any major correction in market.

In conclusion, geocosmic energies are indicating a very volatile week ahead. Dow has shown some sign of fall on Friday for it. I will suggest not panicking, and crosschecking information before taking any big decisions. Ideal way will be to be away from this volatility as November 9 to 13 may be right time for taking any major decision.

I wrote about sharp price swings in last week’s forecast. Subsequently, the U.S. stock markets made new all-time or multi-year highs last Thursday, as did Gold and Crude Oil. New all-time highs were also registered in India’s Nifty index, Australia’s All Ordinaries, and Hong Kong’s Hang Seng. Japan and all European indices rallied smartly into Thursday as well. It happened when most of technical experts were expecting a correction. Uranus works opposite to majority and loves independence. Its square with Jupiter (big swings) makes this mood dramatic.

The major planetary cluster in effect was centered on October 11 of last week. It involved the third and final waning square of Jupiter-Uranus (October 9), the Libra New Moon and Mercury retrograde station on October 11, and the third and final conjunction of Venus and Saturn on October 13. Impact of these aspects will also be felt this week as well.

This week Venus could play crucial role this week. Venus (planet of stocks, currency, gold) is ruler of Libra where this new moon happened last week. It is making conjunction with Saturn, south node of moon, and sextile with Mars on October 15 and 16. This aspect is correlated to market reversals. So there is a possibility of market reversal at start of this week. Other than this market is placed well this week, as there is no major aspect pending at weekend.

Keep in mind that Mercury is now retrograde through November 1. This is typically a time when technical studies become most unreliable. It is happening at the time corporate earnings. It indicates that results could give you mixed signal.

In conclusion, the week ahead is not that great as last one. It could be consolidation time in stocks. You could see high volatility to continue at start of the week, but weekend aspects looks positive.

It could be a week of relaxation after a hectic last week. There is no major geocosmic event happening this week. I would expect that this week’s activity would be a reaction to those signatures that peaked last week. It could be eventful week for people born near 8th , 26-30th.

Venus applies to a conjunction to Saturn all week, and the influence increases as the week goes on. Venus and Saturn aren’t a terribly good combination. If you are born near 26th of any month, you will feel this aspect more closely. The aspect challenges us to examine our love relationships to determine how real and solid they are. There can be a tinge of depression about relationship or a tendency not to feel worthy of love. It’s important to keep that in perspective all week, because this energy affects us all. Additionally, moon’s node is also making opposition to this aspect. It will amplify the negativity of this aspect. This week, it could be little relaxation as Mars and Mercury are making sextile to Venus.

If you are born on or near 8th of any month, Jupiter and Uranus square peeked last week for you. During Jupiter and Uranus square, you may be restless and eccentric, and you can feel discontented with, or unenthusiastic about, life in general. You may become obsessed with being independent, to the point that you reject help when it’s offered.

Keep in mind that Mercury is now retrograde through November 1. If you are born near 30th of any month, you could feel frustration in communication. When Mercury is retrograde, everyone's thinking is more introspective and we tend to think about issues and concerns which relate to the sign involved. Mercury retro in Scorpio creates a skeptical, cynical mood, with mental and emotional confusion arising through an undue fixation on secrecy and the hidden side of things.

Attached figure shows, Sagittarius, Virgo and Pisces are main eventful ascendant and sun signs.

It is a productive week. Venus applies to a conjunction to Saturn all week, and the influence increases as the week goes on. Venus and Saturn aren’t a terribly good combination. The aspect challenges us to examine our love relationships to determine how real and solid they are. There can be a tinge of depression about relationship or a tendency not to feel worthy of love. It’s important to keep that in perspective all week, because this energy affects us all. Additionally, moon’s node is also making opposition to this aspect. It will amplify the negativity of this aspect. If you are born near 26th of any month, you will feel this aspect more closely.

Luckily, Mars and Mercury are making great aspect with this conjunction. This is highly favorable for hard work in business and in the world. Not a flashy time, Saturn and Mercury focus on applied, practical mental work, while Mars and Saturn promote detailed physical achievement. So, you can expect some productive decision making during this transit.

The New Moon in Libra presents an opportune time to commit to personal goals that express the positive energies of the sign of the Scales: Because Libra rules all forms of relating, it's worth beginning with the most important of all human relationships: our stewardship of this planet. Because the Libra New Moon rules love and relationship, this is the most powerful New Moon for bringing new love into your life. This year, the Libra New Moon has a lot of help from a sextile with Jupiter (joy) in Sagittarius (generosity of spirit), a trine with Neptune/Chiron in Aquarius (a revolutionary shift toward healing the suffering of others).

Only negativity attached to it is Uranus and Jupiter square is on peak. Jupiter continues to square Uranus all week, and the Sun applies to a sextile to Jupiter starting mid-week. This continues to be favorable period for speculation and for physical development and growth. During Jupiter and Uranus square, you may be restless and eccentric, and you can feel discontented with, or unenthusiastic about, life in general. You may become obsessed with being independent, to the point that you reject help when it’s offered If you are born near 8th of any month , you will feel this new moon more closely.

Virgo, Pisces and Libra are most active Sun and ascendant combination this week.

Mercury will be stationary near October 11. This may create communication mess and delays. Plan things in advance as some past events could demand your energy. Near this new moon, its impact will be at peak.

Just as recession fears have eased in recent weeks, concerns about global liquidity have slowly receded as investors show an increasing willingness to bet on another interest rate cut from the Federal Reserve. Stronger-than-expected jobs data and a deep revision of August's paltry numbers sent stocks higher on Friday. Now, all markets are moving around their all time high levels while most of financial expert expecting a correction in market. This is typical feature of Jupiter and Uranus square.

Geocosmic energy equation suggests a very active week ahead at all front, as we approach the final waning square of Jupiter-Uranus, new moon in Libra, Mercury turning retrograde, and the third and final conjunction of this season between Venus and Saturn. It could be the first one to unfold that causes the reversal. The New Moon in Libra is especially important in stock markets, while its leader Venus is in Pain with Saturn, and it could lead to market reversal.

This week negative aspects are Venus ( ruler of currency, stocks) conjunct with Saturn (depression) and South node, Mercury (planet of commerce and communication) stationary in motion, and Jupiter square of Uranus. While supporting aspects are Mars and Mercury support to Saturn and Venus.

In conclusion, the week ahead is extraordinary. It could be too bullish or too bearish. As this is start of earning seasons, corporate quarter earning could give mixed indications during Mercury retrograde motion. However, other political and financial indicators could drive this market madly in some way. There is no doubt that this will be week of three or four digits fall or gain. Overall, it could be the week that experts are waiting for market correction.

For this week, the major geocosmic indicator will occur on Friday, September 28, when Mars moves into Cancer. Mars will stay in this emotional sign until May 9, 2008. It is very long time for Mars in a house. This position inclines toward passive-aggressiveness. This position will impact all signs. It makes you to resist change and to shy away from direct confrontations. As a result, you can appear rather slow at times. Your motto is "The best offence is defense". Mars in Cancer strengthens your domestic nature. You assert yourself through a kind, passionate, protective, emotionally-sensitive and caring nature.

Another big event of this week is full moon in Aries; Aires is the first sign of the zodiac and rules new beginnings. On an Aries Full Moon your intention is best released with these qualities in mind: spontaneity, wonder, curiosity, adventurousness, and innocence. If you are born on or near 26th of any month, you will feel this full moon more closely. It could be emotional event for you if you are born as Aries, Sagittarius, Gemini and Virgo. Other than these signs, Uranus in Pisces is active too, so some emotionally surprising event could come up for you.
