    Milton Black "KEEPING ABREAST OF THE TIMES WITH ASTROLOGY"..... TRENDS FOR 2016.


    http://www.miltonblack.com.au/thismonth.htm

    This is how the planets may influence the trends in this cycle ahead!

    THE 2016 ASTROLOGICAL FORECAST :)

    The New Year for 2016 commences with a negative waning Moon in the zodiac sign of Libra (balance) together with a conjunction of the Sun (energy) and Pluto (destruction) in the business sign of Capricorn. With an array of both positive and negative planetary aspects influencing the global economy and political events this year we can expect a year of surprise, slowing global economy, high US dollar, increased global debt, a flurry of market speculation and investment, rising hedge and future funds, increased bank interest rates and new taxes together with a higher cost of living for consumers. With Jupiter (development) clashing with Saturn (impossibilities) there will be plenty of winners and losers this year, the winners will be the United Nations Security Council and the United Nations appointed international banking fraternity, various petty dictators, authoritarian regimes, despots and all their cronies. The losers will be mining, environmentalists, manufacturers, transport industries, businesses, utility companies, farmers, agriculture and the everyday hard working consumer.

    With the Paris climate change conference still fresh in everyone's mind, many of the delegates would not have been aware of the adverse planetary aspects happening at the time of the conference. These aspects have now set in motion the cosmic clock that will lead the way to a disappointing outcome for the 195 countries in the future. The signed agreement to lower emissions to around 1.5 -2.0 Celsius within the next five years is predicted to fail. With Jupiter (large amounts of finance) clashing with Saturn (fate-debt) the hundred billion dollars per year in the future to be paid to the United Nations climate fund, to assist undeveloped countries is pure fantasy.

    Reason, firstly, Neptune (ruler of fossil fuels, liquids and gases) is comfortably at home in a zodiac sign of Pisces and will be unaffected by any major adverse planetary aspect for the next 12 years. Neptune will be quite snug in transit as the world continues to use fossil fuels to their hearts content until at least March 2026 and the lowering of carbon and CO2 to around 2 degrees by this time period will be shot out the window. Secondly, with Pluto (self-destruction) in Capricorn (long range projects) and the trillions of dollars of debt that countries owe around the globe and to the IMF etc., governments will find it incomprehensible in 2016 to find any form of monetary surplus. With increased fiscal debt predicted for most countries over the next five years, especially undeveloped countries, where on earth is the UN agreement for one hundred billion dollars a year going to come from?

    Although, there has been a climate change compromise agreement made, Uranus (Kilowatt) in Aries (construction) there is no signed legal mandate for countries to follow this agreement and big polluters will be seen to continue as normal with the building of coal and gas fire facilities over the next four years. With Pluto in Capricorn (infrastructure) until 2025 and Uranus (radioactive) moving from Aries (construction) to Taurus (money) by 2019, expect to see nuclear power on the top of the budget list for countries to build and supply clean energy electricity for industry and consumer use in the future. New dam constructions, Hydroelectric and geothermal power will also be a big winner over the next 25 years. The capturing of surplus waters that presently flood the globe during wet seasons will be put to good use, rather than waste.
    Wind farms and massive solar energy panels (as we know them today) will not suffice the demand for manufacturing and consumer energy in the future, these devices will be too cumbersome and expensive to build and inefficient to operate on a mass economic scale for industry and consumer use. For the USA and leading Western countries to lead the way for climate change success is all very well, however with the Jupiter (expansion) Saturn (limitation) Uranus (opposition) and Pluto (indifference) connecting powerfully during 2016 to 2025, any hinted threats and sanctions prompted or proposed by the UN over noncompliance of the Paris agreement by independent countries will falter. Shifting of responsibility from the northern hemisphere to the southern hemisphere will not be on either. Jupiter (ethics) Transparency is the name of the game throughout this year as Jupiter continues its transit through the statistical and analytical sign of Virgo digging out all the political complacency, corruption, untruths, mysteries and puzzles until September 9, 2016.
    From 2016 to 2030, as Uranus (electronics) forms a positive aspect with Neptune (synthetic) sand mining and will be the big winner in the future for clean energy investment. Expect to see the development and manufacturing of extremely High Yield Conversion from Low-Cost Sand to High-Capacity Si Electrodes for Li-Ion Batteries and low cost mass produced wafer type solar panels. This together with solar particle energy battery charging is predicted to be of greater value rather than wind farming and the old solar panels stuck on your roof. There is multitrillions tons of sand sitting around the globe waiting to be used and with the increase of solar wind particles happening more frequently, this is predicted to encourage prospective investment in this area for the years ahead. This type of energy starter and storage will certainly make consumer costs for electrical power cheaper in the future.

    Interesting to note, climate change fanatics are forgetting that the Earth's axis completes one full cycle of precession approximately every 26,000 years, causing various climatic cycles to occur on its journey. Sun spots activity causes increased solar winds that in turn affects global weather patterns and global satellite communications. The Moon also is continually shifting away from the earth approximately 10.16 centimeters per year and it's no wonder we have always had in the past and will always continue to have in the future variable weather patterns and unusual tidal changes.

    During the three months either side of the Solar eclipse March 9, and a Luna eclipse March 23, 2016 we can expect seismic activity, unusual weather patterns, electrical storms, fires, cyclones, tornados, snow falls, droughts and floods, especially during January, February and March. Another solar eclipse on September 1 and a Luna eclipse September 17, will bring more adverse weather patterns without any sign of a drop of 1.5- 2.0 degrees Celsius in the making. Also don't forget about the combined 2,000 active volcanos above and below sea levels that are continually bubbling away and spewing out CO2 and Carbon that causes climate and ocean temperature changes?

    This whole climate change scenario in Paris was all about money, future carbon price trading and scaring the human race that the planet is going to die? Perhaps if governments could stop corruption and deforestation, plant and grow more trees, build more infrastructure, dams, distribute clean water, educate the masses and put them to work in their own countries, then the undeveloped countries would survive, trade and grow. Neptune (oceans) secure in transit through Pisces (water) during 2016, sea water levels are not rising, some islands countries are sinking due to undersea seismic activity.

    From January 1 to September 9, Jupiter the planet of (judicial matters, finance, budget and supply) will be in transit through the service and benefits sign of Virgo. During this nine month cycle, Jupiter at times will connect favorably and unfavorably with the Moon's node (social standards) Mars (urgency) Saturn (discretion) and Pluto (reconstruction). Many matters relating to new legislation, technology projects, banks, loans, interest rates, taxation, budgets, superannuation, retirement plans, hedge funds, debt management, health, hospitals, pharmacy, disability and welfare, libraries, education, correctional institutions, rehabilitation, charities, secret organizations, defence forces, police, utility companies and trade unions, will be continually in the news throughout this period as governmental economic and legislative changes take place. Expect to see a year of interest rate hikes, money manipulation by large companies and organizations, taxation changes and increases. Welfare costs, higher education and health fee increases, and a legislative reorganization of the prison system and parole methods, customs and excise and border security will also be seen. 2016 will be a difficult year for the consumer due to greater economic debt, a slow global economy tough budget, legislative changes and interest rates that influence a higher cost of living for all. The coalition government will not be popular because of their expenditure and debt plan. There is no astrological indication the goverment will curb substantial federal spending in 2016.

    Mars (aggression) from January 4 will be in transit through the zodiac sign of Scorpio until March 6, then re-enters Scorpio again from May 27 to August 3. During these cycles global expenditure will sky rocket and inflationary trends will be seen. The country's debt level will increase and interest payments on mortgages and credit cards including the overall cost of living will begin to bite the consumer. Property sales and mortgages will begin to slow during these cycles and many will find balancing the books and family budget difficult. Same sex marriage debate will also be on the agenda during this cycle.
    With Uranus continuing in transit through Aries in the world horoscope until March 6, 2019, immigration will become an ongoing headache for many countries and their borders. With the adverse aspects of Mars/Jupiter/Saturn, Saturn/Neptune, during the first six month of 2016, this will set the stage for riots, assemblies, strikes, union disputes, stock market confusion, refugee and immigration problems, drug and weapon seizers, fraud, intelligence operations and crimes of violence.

    Defence forces, police, security and intelligence agencies will be seen to increase their activities From the New Moon January 10, terrorist activities will expand both internationally and nationally throughout 2016. Major crime will be on the increase including road, rail and sea incidents. Unusual event will also surface throughout 2016, such as chemical spills, explosions, epidemics, animal and crop diseases. Care should be taken with overseas travel throughout 2016, always we prepared for the sudden or unexpected especially between January 16-21, 29-31, February 6-8, March 4-6, 16-25, May 14-June 5, July 11-30, August 22- September 2, September 16- 23, October 1-8, 15-17, 27- 30, November 18-20, 25-30, December 1-8, 24-30. If you are thinking of ship cruising during June 5 to July 6, do take care as Saturn (disappointment) and Neptune (sea travel) are clashing and your travel may not be the holiday you bargained for.

    With Mars in Scorpio (action - warfare) for four months of this year, the war on terrorism will seem to be a substantial win for the coalition throughout 2016 as ISIS loses ground. Troop movements on the ground will be seen by coalition Special Forces and any UN proposed political solution does not appear to favor events until after October and into 2017 when Jupiter moves into the balanced zodiac sign of Libra (political compromise).

    Expect oil prices to stay low during the first six months of this year with OPEC still pumping excess into the market place especially during January 16th-20th when Mars (energy) and Neptune (oil) favorably connect. Stock Markets during January will be mixed as the last degrees of the Uranus/Pluto combination that took a bite out of the global crises from 2007 - 2014, is now coming to an end by April this year. However, with the solar eclipses in March, care is advised with stock market speculation up until September 2016, several market corrections are predicted especially during March 16 to April 6, May 15, to June 4, June 16 to July 14, August 6 to September 19, October 1 to 17, October 27 to November 30, December 2 to 28.

    Throughout this year financial markets will be volatile, especially the US Dollar, Chinese Yuan and the Euro. Gold and silver are still good investments for 2016. There appears to be a stronger global economy building from October 7, as Jupiter moves out of the zodiac sign of Virgo and enters the balance sign of Libra for the first time in 12 years. With Jupiter (expansion) in Libra (arrangement) from October to December, this will certainly help boost free trade agreements, deliver more exports, create more jobs and lower certain commodities prices. The last three months of 2016 will show a gradual improvement in the business and employment sectors, due to a positive growth cycle during November when Mercury (trade) and Venus (incomes) moves into the mid-heavens (positive) of the Global horoscope. With Jupiter connecting positively with the Moons node during January and February, then linking with Pluto in March and all re-linking again in June and July, good news or a breakthrough in the scientific and technology fields will be seen. Investors would be advised to check investments in the Biotech and scientific industries throughout 2016, big opportunities will be available for profitable investments.

    Planetary Warnings for countries on the astrological watch list for 2016

    Tanzania, Syria, Liberia, Afghanistan, Micronesia-Federation, Iraq, Mozambique, France, Great Britton, Germany, Japan, Mauritius, South Africa, Eire, Slovakia, Czech-Republic, Yemen, Guatemala, Bolivia, Albania, Sierra-Leone, Bhutan, El-Salvador, Uganda, Sudan, Venezuela, Bangladesh, New Zealand, Danzig, Nepal, Peru, United Nations New York, Equatorial-Guinea, Greece, Switzerland, Swaziland, Russia, Lithuania, Mexico, Uzbekistan, Latvia, Namibia, Egypt, Turkey, Rwanda, Buganda, Saudi-Arabia, Zimbabwe, Belize. Singapore. Hungry, Brunei, Philippines.

    On the Australian political scene 2016 is the federal election program and it will be Hello Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull (Scorpio by 33 minutes) and Goodbye leader of the opposition Bill Shorten (Taurus). Although not a landslide victory for Turnbull, he will have a comfortable win for the coalition with a reduced majority. The coalition will be tempted to run to the polls between March 5 and May 30, when Mars (action) moves into Sagittarius (independence) however, due to the eclipses and national and international activities happening at the time, Mercury (communications) /Uranus (sudden and unexpected) Turnbull may decide to delay and run during September 17 or 24. Of course it will be up to him and his advisors to secure a date?

    Malcom Turnbull throughout 2016 will experience a successful year as he generates new initiatives and projects into play, together with education, technology, innovation, invention and modernization heading his list of priorities. He will show greater competiveness in parliament and will achieve his objectives in spite of a strong opposition. Turnbull will be more determined and will show much insistence in sharing his ideas with others, which will bring him greater popularity within the parliament and the electorate from September 2016 to November 2017. The most progressive months for Turnbull will be January, February, June, July September and October. Turnbull's biggest nightmare for 2016 -18 will be "federal expenditure". Transit Uranus classes with his natal Uranus and Jupiter in his horoscope for most of 2016. One of his biggest downfalls will be investing public money in subsidies for windfarm and renewable energy construction. Interesting to note, according to the Liberal party's Horoscope, Tony Abbott would have won the election with the coalition party, even though his popularity may not have been as strong with the electorate as Turnbull's.

    Bill Shorten's popularity will show a slight improvement with the electorate as from mid-January into February as Mars (action) links favorably with his natal Uranus/Pluto. During this year he will be more focused on his ambitions and goals. With Mars (industrious) opposing his natal Sun during the first four months of 2016, he will employ a stronger performance in parliamentary debate. Although his leadership will be on shaky ground, his determination and union backing may hold off a challenge from members of the Labor party prior to the 2016 election. When this year is over, he may find himself alone and considering a new direction. Labor overall will show positive polling in 2016.



    January 2016 Astrological Forecast

    During the last quarter of the Moon on January 2 to the New Moon January 10, Mars (impulsive) will commence a two month run into the financial sign of Scorpio. Retail sales profits will be through the roof and New Year bargain hunters and holiday makers will be spending willy-nilly. Banks and credit card companies will be rubbing their hands with joy, people will not be able to help themselves with the big spend.
    Southern hemisphere medical practitioners, hospitals and pharmacies will be in demand over the January cycle, due to summer heat conditions. With Mercury (sales) linking with Jupiter (medical) the selling of sun tan lotions, burn creams, skin lotions and first aid will be frequent. Be prepared for a mixture of hot dry windy weather conditions, together with humid thunder storms also in the making. The summer cycle will be an assorted climate with infrequent weather conditions, but mainly hot.

    The Northern hemisphere doctors and pharmacists will also have a busy month with prescription drugs to beat off the winter illnesses as snowfalls, floods, road closures, cold gusty windy conditions are predicted. Mars (heat) combining with Neptune (oils-gas) in Scorpio, heating bills will be high for consumers in the north and air cooling and conditioning costs for the south. For those anticipating a ski holiday, northern ski resorts should have a bumper snow season. January is also predicted to be an accident prone month, so care should be taken with all sporting activities, adventurous outdoors ventures, and travelling on roads, especially the 5th, 6th, 14th, 17th, 18th, 19th, 20th, 21st, and 30th.

    With Mercury (communication) in retrograde (negative) during the 5th to 25th, don't be at all surprised if some sporting and social events, competitions, amusements, outdoor musical festivals, get-togethers with clubs, groups, organizations or with friends are cancelled or postponed due to weather conditions, electrical failure, fire or security reasons. Travel plans could also be interrupted and if you intend travelling, then check and re-check your travel and accommodation bookings before embarking, as mistakes will be easily made in January and forgetfulness or errors will be on everyone's mind. There will also be long delays and interruptions at airports, shipping, bus and ferry terminals so be prepared.

    Stock markets appear to have more of a bearing month overall. Markets will be in for a few surprises around the 5th, 6th, 8th, 11th, 14th, 15th, 17th, 20th, 21st and 29th. Being a leap year, we may see financial markets have that extra boost of the dollar on the 29th as the Moon joins forces with Mars in the financial sign of Scorpio.

    January will see Mercury (communication) in transit through the zodiac sign of Aquarius from the 17th to the 29th. During this cycle, thousands of people will be on the move, especially refugees and illegal immigrants. Authorities will find it difficult to control the flow of those who are displaced and seeking asylum from war torn countries to the western alliance. The refugee problem will escalate and be a continuous and expensive issue in 2016, unless countries take action and close their borders. There is no doubt with Mars in Scorpio (secrets) certain terrorist cells will be among those looking for asylum. We have not seen the worst of terrorism yet and during the first six month of this year, alertness is essential.

    With Venus (enjoyment) in transit through the sunny sign of Sagittarius through most of January and linking adversely with Jupiter (extreme) the warning is there for those sun worshippers who wish to burn and tan on the beach. January will be a deadly skin cancer month and all care should be taken to protect your body. Jupiter will also connect with the Moons node throughout January and record temperatures could be seen.
    Mercury (documents) and Jupiter (expense) will meet from the 14th and Mercury will also connect with Uranus (sudden and unexpected) during the 20th and remain in contact until early February. Insurance companies will experience major pay-outs during this cycle for life assurance, fire and property damage, mechanical and automotive repairs, electrical appliances and public liability.

    With Uranus in transit through the eager sign of Aries (building) and the Sun in transit through the commerce sign of Capricorn until the 21st, January will be the beginning of municipal amalgamations and reconstruction of city council changes and expenditure for 2016. Mars will also influence the money supply for municipal bodies, with indications of future increases of land rates and service fees for the 2016 -17 cycle.

    With Jupiter (political) adversely meeting Saturn (restriction) from March onward, 2016 will be a year for those holding political office to re-evaluate their image, policies and place in their community, otherwise lose their seat in elections this year. The electorate will keep politicians and council members on their toes due to Mars in a long transit through the signs of Scorpio (money) and Sagittarius (policy making).
    With a full moon on January 24 in the signs of Aquarius and Leo this will set the stage for Australia Day celebrations on the 26th. Fortunately Mercury (celebrations, get-together) will commence its direct motion (positive) on the 25th, in Capricorn (organization) making Australia Day 2016 a positive, controlled and enjoyable occasion for most. We are a lucky country.

    Favourable dates: 1, 2, 3, 4, 8, 9, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 23, 25, 26, 27, 31.
    Cautious Dates: 5, 6, 7, 10, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 24, 28, 29, 30

    February 2016 Astrological Forecast

    On 1st February, the Sun will form a downbeat aspect with the Moon (last quarter) and Mercury (news) and will also create a hostile aspect with Uranus (unsettledness). You could say the starting key to this month, tends to initiate more of a negative trend regarding the overall global economy with indications of a continuation of international debt rising. However, during the next few weeks there will also be at times a moderate balance of favourable planetary aspects that will create a few positive corrections that will assist some sporadic bullish tendencies at the marketplace. Mercury (communication) is now moving in a direct motion and this should bring a more optimistic outlook for many investors in February especially during the 6th - 11th and the 17th - 19th Gains can be made during this period.

    With Mars (energy) in full swing through Scorpio (money) during February, there is no doubt the global debt explosion will continue to rise, with no sign of governments doing anything about the problem except through hypothetical economic rhetoric. Inflationary trends will also be seen to rise and it is unlikely that Reserve bank interest rates will be lowered throughout February.

    Land and housing sales are predicted to slow from February through to July and interest rates will start to rise, throwing the economy sideways. Those who have large mortgages may find difficulty paying back loans and credit card debt in the future. Wages and incomes will continue to be low in February and the cost of living will start to rise from this month onward, making it tough for the average consumer.

    With a New Moon on the 9th in the zodiac sign of Aquarius and Mercury (announcements) also entering the sign of Aquarius on the 14th this will create concern for many regarding currency values as international currencies fluctuate on the 1st, 2nd, 8th, 13th, 14th, 27th, 28th and 29th. During this month's cycle, Venus (spendthrift) and Jupiter (large amounts) will be enjoying a gallivanting time together and this should influence governments to increase federal debt to their hearts content and printing money as if it is going out of fashion. This will eventually bounce back and bite many governments when their international credit rating is re-assessed. The price of gold has nowhere to go but up after a four-year slide to $1,045 an ounce in December from a record $1,923, a 46 percent decline. Silver should also be considered as a long term good investment for the future.

    Economic recovery for global governments will just be an illusion in February and the global horoscope points to a critical period ahead. Unless governments rein in their spending, the global economic train will be derailed. Business security is heading into an insecure cycle, similar to the 2008-9 period. During February to April, the global landscape will continue to be duped by the Uranus (extremes) and Pluto (impelling) combination to borrow more and more, without thinking of the future consequences. This is a critical time, which will have major consequences for the banking system and economies from this month onward. Roughly $2.5 trillion of stock market value has been wiped out in the past month and future losses are imminent unless governments change tack.

    With the Sun and Uranus forming a strongminded aspect in the zodiac sign of Aquarius and Aries, together with Mars in Scorpio during February, the refugee crises and immigration problem will be under financial pressure as countries begin to close borders and deport a number of detainees. With Mercury, planet of negotiations and decisions, entering Aquarius from the 14th, the United Nations, human rights and the legal system will be in tatters as countries endeavour to solve their refugee crises.

    According to China's horoscope, Pluto (breakdown and rebuilding) is in a protracted transit through the business and professional sector of the country's horoscope until 2024. Economic growth will continue to be slow during February and the government will be struggling to regain investors' confidence. With Mars in Scorpio (impatience) and clashing with China's natal Moon (people) and Mars (action) during February, China may consider devaluing the Yuan again to step up the local economy, which will basically affect the US dollar and global markets in the months ahead. Commodity consumption growth in China will remain lethargic throughout 2016. Rising corporate debt, aggravated by a slow domestic economic growth and natural disasters, will generate further risks and delays to the reform process of China's immediate future.

    However, overall and considering positively China's horoscope, the country is looking intact for 2016, especially from September 12 onward, despite the country's present slow growth. It appears with Pluto (reform) slowly forming a positive relationship with Uranus (nuclear) over the next five years, many nuclear power station plans for cleaner energy for China's mainland and their offshore facilities and establishments will be set in place. China's need for metals, coal and gas will continue to slide between February and April, hence mining, oil and gas prices should remain low, including petrol prices at the pump for consumers. This is good news for importers and distributors globally.

    With Saturn (scrooge - limitation) now in transit for the next two and a half years in the traveling sign of Sagittarius, many tour opportunities will prove to be expensive due to the fluctuating Australian dollar value. Unfortunately, airlines although capitalising on cheaper fuel through lower costs, will still be slugging the consumer for high prices flying from one destination to the other. Discounted fares and frequent flyer points will be limited for many travellers, with the occasional carrot offered, just to keep travellers interested. Airlines will be showing greater profits for February and pounding the consumer's wallet at the same time. Greed will be accelerated during February, so shop around.

    Venus (balance) will be in transit through the business sign of Capricorn until the 18th and meet with Pluto (reform) during the 5th and 9th. This will be a busy time for the federal government setting and meeting goals regarding health, education, superannuation, insurance, taxation, industrial relations and preparing defence budgets. National business and job opportunities are favoured during February and there are indications of increased business and company registrations. Religious issues could also be a problem this month for both government and various sects.

    Terrorism and bombings will still be alive in February, especially up to the 8th. However there appears to be less incidents compared to past months after the New Moon rising in Aquarius on the 9th. With Venus (peace) forming favourable aspects with Mars, Jupiter and Saturn throughout this month, intelligence agencies, defence and law enforcement should be on top of extremist situations in most cases before they get out of hand. Incident days 3rd, 6th, 7th, 9th, 17th, 18th, 27th. This period will also include drug arrests, major crime and accidents. Seismic activity and unusual news events are also prevalent around these dates. Bush fires and property losses should start to subside after the 19th when the Sun enters the zodiac sign of Pisces.

    February weather patterns should improve gradually from the 9th onward, however with Mars (stimulate) connecting with Jupiter (quantity) in a gusty aspect, inclement situations with rain, electrical storms and floods will still be hovering around throughout February, together with humid hot conditions in the south and cold damp, wet and flood conditions continuing in the northern hemisphere. When Mars moves out of Scorpio in the first week on March, settled weather conditions can be expected.

    During February, the Sun (spotlight) connecting favourably with Uranus (utilities) in Aries (engineering) new trends and marketing techniques will be introduced for computer and electronic devices that should assist and shorten work efforts in the office and on the production line. New motor vehicle models, machinery, labour saving devices, office automation, modern production methods, protective product packaging, hydraulic or electrical labour saving devices will be released onto the world stage. This planetary combination together with Mars in Scorpio (money) will also show an increase in sales for February in marketing and employment, earth moving equipment, farm machinery and implements, large construction programs, chemical products and consumer products that makes life easier and more efficient for the consumer. The need for further improved fibre optics, cloud computing, streaming services, and the omnipresent demand for faster download speeds will also hurry along the NBN service and expansion in February.

    With the Sun (spotlight) moving into Pisces on the 19th, the remainder of the month will be full of news and talk about intelligence matters, mysteries, private and confidential matters, activities that are carried on behind the scenes, places of confinement, such a hospitals, prisons, nursing homes, schools, universities and treasury speculation regarding budgetary matters and economic issues. Don't take too much notice with the political leaks and gossip that will be floating around in government circles and media this month, most of it will be pie in the sky. February will bring many surprises especially on the 3rd, 4th, 6th, 7th, 8th, 10th, 11th, 12th, 14th, 16th, 25th and 28th.

    Prime Minister Turnbull can expect a stressful month for self-expression and debate as Mars, Jupiter and Uranus form a determined aspect regarding finances and Australia's debt and deficits. Parliamentary communication, negotiations and debate regarding the country's overall economic future, shared assets, investments and property is likely, as he endeavors to find solutions on how to cut spending and create new ways of increasing income through budgetary cuts and heightened future taxation. His most stressful period in February will be during the 22nd to 29th. This is a time of considerable obstruction by the opposition parties and his desires or efforts to get ahead appear to be thwarted or at least delayed. Also, he may have more self-doubt than usual. This is a good time for Turnbull to take stock of his life, to see how he is limiting and holding himself back, and to determine his next steps. His economic plans and ideas are subject to radical revisions, significant changes, and forced adjustments as the Australian federal debt increases daily.

    Bill Shorten, Leader of the Opposition, will be under pressure to perform during February. With Pluto clashing with this natal Mars throughout this month, his ambition and drive to succeed will be incredibly strong. He will go to any lengths to achieve his goals, and he will have the energy to do it. Shorten will be driven by a compulsive need to achieve, and he may often find it difficult to stop. He could be a workaholic during this month, to impress the electorate of his leadership abilities. He may become easily stressed worrying about his leadership popularity, leading into this year's federal election. This is certainly a time in his life to make important changes and buckle down to the tasks at hand, but at the same time trying to keep a sense of proportion and balance in your life and raise his popularity with the Australian public. Same sex marriage will set the stage in federal parliament from February onward.

    Best astrological advice this month, watch your investments carefully and no impulsive spending!

    Favourable dates: 3, 4, 5, 6, 10, 11, 12, 14, 17, 24, 25, 28, 29.
    Cautious Dates: 1, 2, 7, 8, 9, 13, 15, 16, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 26, 27.

    March 2016 Astrological Forecast

    Be prepared for global industrial, economic unrest and corrections during March. There will be a variety of extraordinary happenings in the world as defiant Mars moves out of the financial sign of Scorpio into the global communications and diplomacies sign of Sagittarius from the 6th, followed by a New Moon solar eclipse on the 9th and a Luna eclipse on the 23rd.

    Also from the 10th inflationary Jupiter will explode with the rogue planet Pluto creating much impatience and unsettledness in global politics and financial markets due to the US Federal Reserve leaving interest rates low for too long? This will not be a month to take financial and industrialised matters too lightly, as Jupiter (excess) will cop a broadside with Saturn (limitation) from the 16th to the end of this month creating important policy changes, trade union disruption, unemployment concerns, government upheavals, economic mayhem, increasing debt and pushing up living costs. The Reserve Bank of Australia appears to show a stay in interest rate changes for March, but could consider a change in April.

    Solar and Luna eclipses usually take around three months to shake up and upset the system, so expect this month to be the commencement of a three month cycle of readjustment that will interrupt global economies until May 27. Global currency, stock and commodity markets will continue to be under fire and markets will be facing a crisis. Investors need to be very cautious due to this month's overall planetary aspects. The Australian dollar should stay around the 70-72 mark.

    However, the month does have some good news: the first few days of March will see stock markets trading quite well until the 6th and some gains can be made during this cycle. NASDAQ, media, energy, utilities, agriculture, Biotech are stocks to watch during March and some retail market shares will be on the way up, together with transport and communications. March is a month where administrators will have a field day restructuring companies that have recently experienced a downfall, bringing more market competitiveness that will benefit consumers as the year progresses. With Mars in Sagittarius, gold and silver could see a slight increase throughout March.

    Mercury, planet of information gathering, planning, discussions, negotiations and agreements will commence transit the zodiac sign of Pisces during the 5th until 22nd this will influence positive secretive defence talks regarding war theatres, military strategies, intelligence and peace negotiations. When Mercury and Pluto (eradicate) connect during the 15th and 16th matters relating to terrorism, organised and major crime, mob violence, cartels, corruption, robberies, kidnapping and assassination threats will keep agencies on the alert throughout the next three months. There is predicted to be some serious issues for security agencies to solve during March.

    Eclipses usually bring unexpected happenings on the political scene, including natural or manmade disasters. March could see an increase of volcanic and seismic activity around the globe, together with unusual damaging weather patterns. The next three months is also a cautious time for travel and care should be taken. Terrorism will be rife over the March April, May cycle as terror groups consider targeting hotels, resorts, shipping, trains, buses, aircraft, power grids, oil installations, government buildings, shopping centres and crowded venues. Global security will be tight throughout April as intelligence agencies and police forces gather and disseminate information.

    With the sun moving through Pisces and Aries during March, much government business will be directed to budget preparation, for infrastructure, science, health, education, welfare pensions, electoral boundaries, candidates, taxation reforms, defence force recruitment, arms and equipment purchases, hospitals, corrective services, legal, security, nursing homes and age care.

    The Solar eclipse in Pisces and the Luna eclipse in Aries and Libra and Venus (beauty) moving from Aquarius (different) into Pisces (creativity) should bring some welcomed news and greater profitability for the "Rag Trade" and fashion industry, with new styles, labels and colours. Beauty products and hair cosmetics will be bursting out with a new range that should prove popular with professionals and consumers alike. Good news also for the television, film and music industry with increased funding, new artists, releases and series that will boost the industry's profitability. Don't be at all surprised if Australia becomes a popular mecca for film makers over the next two years, especially when Jupiter (expansion) moves into Libra (arts/music) first time in 12 years, later this year.

    March will also be a big competitive month for sport as Mars (action) enters the sports sign of Sagittarius and forms a few rugged combinations with the Sun, Mercury and Venus. Major competitions should get off to a positive start, with some surprise teams reaching a quick rise up the ladder. 2016 should be a reasonably trouble free drug year for sports athletes. Unfortunately, this will not be one of Australia's best years for Olympic victories; competitiveness will be lacking.

    With Prime Minister Turnbull in a "catch 22" situation with budgetary matters, he will be behind the eight ball during the first two weeks of March regarding certain economic matters. Overall, March is a positive month for the Prime Minister, we should see a stirring up of his personality and a more cordial relationship around him with back-bench party members. However, he should not allow himself self to become dogmatic and sectarian in his opinions and beliefs. At times he will say a lot and yet mean nothing. His professional ethics will be in the limelight during this month and he should enjoy greater popularity with the Australian electorate especially between the 16th and 23rd of March. Overall this is a supportive month for the PM which brings serious thinking and important economic concerns successfully to the fore.

    On the US Scene, Donald Trump (Gemini) will be more tenacious and persevering in pursuing his dreams to become the republican presidential candidate of the USA. March will be a positive month for expanding Trump's creative and communicational talents. However, during the 7th 12th he will get involved with scenarios and acrimonious ego disputes which will create tension, jealousy or obstruction from competitors for his determination to win over them as the republican candidate. His objectives will be far-reaching, progressive, and positive, immaterial of the opposition he receives. His popularity and activities related to groups of people, clubs, organisations, associations, committees, etc will bring him much popularity and cooperation that will benefit him and he will win over a large percentage of the American public as they sway to his values and policies. March will also attract help from influential or powerful friends of Trump's and he will receive support from the public in general, which will increase his prestige and popularity.

    Overall, March will be a month to watch your affairs carefully, this is an accident prone month for many, so keep alert at all times. New stories will be rife on TV screens throughout March and remember that old saying "Beware the Ides of March" especially the 4th, 5th, 6th, 7th, 14th, 15th, 16th, 18th, 25th, 26th and 30th.

    The rest of the days in March seem to be reasonable, but avoid risk taking and impulsive speculation, this is a month to prepare for tighter times to come over the April, May period.

    Talk Soon.

    April 2016 Astrological Forecast


    With the continuous after effects of the two March eclipses, April will be seen as an extreme vigilant month for governments, global economies, investors and security agencies. The Sun (energy) Mercury (communications) and Uranus (sudden and unexpected) all presently in transit through the zodiac sign of Aries (impatience) the world will be tested in extreme ways this month especially when Jupiter (expansion) and Saturn (limitation) rehash and clash between now and June. Be prepared to take counter measures regarding care of your financial securities, savings, stocks and bonds, employment, health funds, travel, real estate and the general cost of living. Tough times are ahead during April/June due to budgetary decisions and a slow economy, caution is the key word.

    With the Sun (energy) bombarding Pluto (bamboozle) and Uranus (strange) the global stock market is predicted to embark on a questionable and uncertain journey from the 1st to 11th due to the Sun (energy) and Pluto (inscrutable) clashing. This combination will also affect the aftermath and continued side line discussions of the Nuclear Summit talks in Europe regarding efforts to prevent nuclear terrorism and the smuggling and proliferation of nuclear materials, especially in the Middle East and Pakistan. According to North Korea's horoscope there appears to be no immediate planetary aspects that indicate a direct threat or global conflict through North Korea's nonstop impulsive and reckless missile nuclear testing program. China's planetary horoscope indicates China will be cautious and unwilling to impose punitive measures on North Korea that might cause instability between the two countries in the future.

    Therefore it is predicted China will continue to apply a positive balance between the two countries and this will avoid serious confrontation between North Korea and the western world. Kim Jong Un's horoscope (Capricorn) does not appear to show any over-daring methods of actual threat, apart from making a grand, impressive spectacle of his dictator leadership leading up to this year's Congress of the Workers' Party in Pyongyang. Kim Jong Un is an extremely defiant thug with a strong fanatic personality, and has more front than "Buck Rogers" in space without rocket fuel. However his huff and puff should not be taken too seriously, as his horoscope shows hidden enemies amongst his peers who appear more compromising in the event of an international emergency. According to Kim's horoscope, he has an ever increasing personal problem worse than war to contend with and that is "gout". Maybe he should watch his diet?

    From the 12th, Venus (balance) connects favourably with Mars (initiative) improving the market place temporarily until the 19th. There could be some welcomed opportunities for quick procurements through the Dow, NASDAQ and S&P during this period, however some caution should also be considered, especially commodities. Financial markets will also be on the move when Mercury (trading) enters the money sign of Taurus from the 6th and locks in favourably with Jupiter (banks) and Pluto (concise) for a brief period up to the 18th. The Australian dollar should be steady throughout April until the 28th, when global finances appear to weaken against the US dollar due to Mercury (trading) going retrograde and the Moon's node in station (awaiting to change course on the 30th). Apart from the USA Horoscope (growth indications) global developments for most countries during April look rather dismal due to political instabilities, corruption, rising debt, low oil prices and China's slow recovery. The Federal Reserve may have reservations regarding an adjustment in interest rates during April.

    With the waning Moon connecting with Pluto (secrets) from the 1st and Mercury (meetings and conferences) conjoining Uranus (acute), governments, intelligence agencies, defence forces, police and emergency services will be on full alert regarding terrorist activities and extraordinary events. With a new Moon (new beginnings) on the 7th, in the zodiac sign of Aries, clashing with Pluto (destruction) an all-out effort will be seen throughout April by coalition forces and individual countries with an offensive against terrorism. Islamic state casualties are predicted to be heavy throughout April as special operations forces together with combined troops make headway in Iraq, Syria and Pakistan. With Mercury (information) and Jupiter (lawful) forming a confident combination from the 14th, April will be a constructive month for the arrests of terrorist suspects, activists and the breaking down of secret organisations around the globe. With Mercury (intel) and Pluto (crime) forming a positive connection, April is also a win-win month for agencies and police as key drug cartels and smugglers are successfully apprehended and bought to justice.

    Although the crime rate appears to be more stable throughout April, the Sun, Mercury, Venus, Jupiter, Saturn and Uranus will be running hot so we can expect a sequence of corporate and sexual crimes, domestic violence, robberies and arson. Chemical spills or explosions could also be seen throughout this month and emergency services could be busy. With Venus in Aries, avoid impatience and impulsiveness with love affairs and relationships, otherwise suffer the consequences.

    Mercury (media), from the 7th, will be rousing popular opinion regarding political scandal, corruption, pre-budget, rumours, taxation, consumer concern over rising costs, employment matters, industrial unrest and uncertainty concerning the global economy. Unfortunately, most news broadcasts will be focusing on over the top commentating and innuendos that will smother April news comments with overloads of opinionated media hype. Mercury/Jupiter (over-exaggerations) may have many investors exhibiting a touch of nervousness and anxiety about where the country is heading and how to invest their hard earned savings. Well, here could be a solution, with Mercury (think-tank) and Pluto (secrets) in a favorable aspect on the 17th , if you have a large mattress or a secret safe buried in your back garden, this is a good month to stash your cash for a couple of months, until things settle down after the 23rd June. At least you won't have any immediate monetary losses that way and you'll be able to sleep at nights.

    April will be a preliminary month for budget organising and finalising and although there will be a few hints of no direct taxation that will affect Mr. and Mrs. Average, there will however be whiffs of indirect taxation that is predicted to increase the cost of living for everyone after May as Venus (money) and Pluto (squeeze) clash on the 20th and will influence prices in May. With the last quarter of the moon in Pisces opposite Jupiter in Virgo, when the budget is bought down on May 2, taxation, health, education, service industries, infrastructure, renewable energy, age care, welfare, disabilities, pensions, banks, security, defence, correctional institutions, relief agencies, charities, arts, trade unions and consumer commodities will be the main targets set down by the Treasurer. This will not be a popular budget in the long term as it will be loaded with borrowed money that will increase the federal deficit twofold well beyond the means for constituents to repay in the future.

    Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull
    Astrologically, according to his horoscope for April, Prime Minister Turnbull has an array of mixed planetary aspects that are predicted to steer him into a puzzling month. He will be full of passionate contemplated thought bubbles and "Turnbull Talk" but not really accomplishing anything constructive. He will endeavour to show much innovative (his favorite word) potential, however he needs self-discipline and control to activate his ostensible policies and issues that are cramming his head. Turnbull is excessively self-indulgent, so many of his political dreams he creates, never have the slightest chance of being realised.

    Unfortunately, he is easily influenced by others to adopt their opinion, especially in matters to do with innovative, creative technology, global warming and renewable energy projects, funded by tax-payers' subsidies.
    The PM does not like to upset the electorate, so playing the balancing act and diverting much of Australia's taxation challenges back to state governments for them to figure out the country's revenue problems, makes it easier for Malcolm. This way it opens a smoother path for him to win over the electorate and secure a federal election win, rather than take the bull by the horns and try to rectify the present complicated federal income tax and distribution system himself. His lines of reasoning this month can in many cases be somewhat distorted and his vision clouded especially on the 4th, 5th, 7th, 12th, 15th, 17th, 21st and 30th. Turnbull's higher mental faculties are in good order, but he doesn't want to face reality and responsibility for his personal actions. That's why he has a tribe of ministers to pass his ideas and thoughts to and let them hold the fort and take the blame when things go wrong. Smart move?

    Donald Trump
    Viewing the US Republican candidate Donald Trump's horoscope (Gemini) you either love him or hate him, but there is one thing you have to give him credit for and that is his business acumen and financial success. He knows how to make money and he knows where the money is and how to get it and use it. With Jupiter (expansion) connecting positively with Saturn (stability) and Venus (popularity) in his horoscope, Trump is leading the Republican band wagon well ahead of his rivals and will stay that way until September 9 when Jupiter (luck) will move into the zodiac sign of Libra, forming a positive aspect with his natal Sun (achievements). He will be the voted candidate for President, providing the Republican Party executive, back his candidacy. His clash with Ted Cruz (Sagittarius) can be overcome if Trump calls a truce and offers Cruz a ticket for running mate. Both of them are suited and could work very well as a team and undo the economic mess that Obama has left the USA in.

    Trump has a few problems on the stability front, Mercury and Neptune in his horoscope makes him extremely sensitive, superficial problems become exaggerated and his imagination often gets away with logical thinking. However, communication is one of Trump's biggest assets; he has talent to express and this is why he attracts younger voters with his pop culture dialogue and unorthodox, gutsy, straight-up approach to debate with no holds barred. With his Sun (energy) and Mars (strength) forming a positive aspect, this gives Trump a double dose of vitality that would frighten most people. He is firm on his opinions and forceful in projecting them. He is an avid reader and likes to keep up to date with political and contemporary affairs.

    Trump is very pro economic, defence, select immigration, manufacturing, business, housing, anti-abortion and getting people employed. He is controversial but always straight to the point and has no time for liars and negative people. He is not the usual presidential type, with a soft approach to diplomatic protocol that adheres to government procedure. Trump is inclined to rebel against existing codes of ethics and will challenge authority in his efforts to find a more positive way to realise his goals for everyone to benefit. Trump loves wheeling and dealing, lives for the moment and avoids looking back. He is a remarkable man, self-made, patriotic, with a vision that would change the direction of the USA considerably if he were made President. No, he would not start World War III, he is too sensible for that.
    I believe those who don't vote for Trump should consider voting for his cap that reads, "Make America Great Again" that's definitely worth a vote.

    Favourable days: 6, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 28, 29
    Cautious Days: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 20, 21, 27, 30

    Milton Black May 2016 Astrological Forecast :)

    With the Sun (sumptuous) and Venus (incomes) in transit through the financial sector of Taurus (finance) during the first three weeks of May, this aspect will pressurise matters involving extravagance, borrowings, debt, greed and financial wastefulness on a global scale. This will certainly be an out-of-the-ordinary and surprising month directly affecting global financial transactions, international trade, bank loans, insurance, financial brokers, health, pharmaceutical, education, wage earners, pensioners, real estate investors, stocks and bonds. This month could be classed as the calm before the storm and daily signals will concern many from the big end of town to the small investor.

    The reason for this surprise trepidation in financial circles, Mercury (trading, meetings, negotiations and decision making) is now in retrograde until the 21st followed also by Mars (energy, action, impatience) in retrograde for the next two months. When planets turn retrograde, in most cases it influences the negative and initiates a general slowdown or re-think of plans and policies. With the Sun (wasteful) Venus (cash) and Jupiter (stocks) all connecting on a grand scale until the 16th, the world economic outlook this month is loaded with many extravagant blow-outs that may have the International Monetary Fund in damage control due to most countries increasing debt or facing financial depression, corruption, economic downgrades and political upheavals.

    Jupiter (banks) will clash with Saturn (restriction) from the 17th. These two planets are arch enemies. Reason? Jupiter (expansion) will be held back by Saturn (limitation) forcing banks to tighten up on charges, lending and non-performing loans. Viewing many of the top countries' horoscopes, Germany, Japan, USA, UK, France, Italy, China, South Korea and Saudi Arabia, Australia, all appear to be heading into deeper debt, triggering significant concern for the global economy especially from 22nd May to 3rd August 2016. Debt will escalate globally and become more difficult to manage from this month onward and a restructuring of debt will be required by governments and cutbacks will be utmost in budgets. Extravagance needs to be restricted and this could be difficult due to the combinations of Venus (spendthrift) connecting with Jupiter (luxury), Pluto (greed and corruption), Neptune (incomprehensible). This combination will put pressure on governments, banks and currencies. If financial restrictions are not adhered to by governments, the world will be in recession over the June-August quarter when Mars enters the financial sign of Scorpio and the trading sign of Sagittarius, clashing with Saturn (limitation) and Neptune (confusion) on the way.

    China's horoscope continues to show a slow recovery, however the Yuan will hold its value due to China's foreign exchange program spreading its currency around and not relying wholly on the US dollar. The influx of Chinese capital into Australia is predicted to rise considerably from May through to September, with many agriculture and mining properties and leases being bought by Chinese investors. With Jupiter (expansion) in Virgo (statistics) and Neptune (secrets) in the zodiac sign of Pisces (pretenders) opposing each other, care should be taken by governments that the Chinese do not position themselves and their foreign investments near top secret establishments, for this could create concern for security agencies in the future.

    Strange as it may be, although the planetary aspects for May seem basically positive on the surface due to government conservatism and some bullish market speculation especially in commodities that will influence the Dow on a positive note. Inside the financial and parliamentary circles it will be all smoke and mirrors, so be careful with your finances and overall investments this month, for there will be difficulties by the Full Moon May 22nd. Bank shares could also be in for an adjustment between May and September. The European Banks are predicted to be hit the hardest during May to August through the lowering of interest rates. With the fatal Jupiter/Saturn combination connecting this month, many banks will fear that depositors will withdraw their savings in favour of stashing their funds in a home safe or under the proverbial mattress and this would naturally affect future bank profits. European banks are heading into dangerous territory, however Germany's horoscope appears to hold its own through the wake of fierce interest rate competition and legislative adjustments.

    The Australian federal budget will be bought down on the 3rd at 7:30 pm AEST by Treasurer Scott Morison and, according to Australia's horoscope, the budget appears to be well thought out and the fiscal policies appear to be acceptable to the Australian public as the theme will be conservative growth. At the time of the budget the Sun (confidence) and Jupiter (beneficial) will be in a favorable trine position in the zodiac sign of Taurus (money) and Virgo (welfare and services). Although welfare benefits and some general services will be tightened there appears to be no direct taxation apart from high company earners that should not affect constituents to any large extent. However indirect taxes will increase and this adjustment during May to August is predicted to pressure an increase in the cost of living for Australians. With Mars (action) in the zodiac sign of Sagittarius (communication) we could see an increased budget allocation for new innovative technology and defence programs, security, research, renewable energy, infrastructure and incentive business programs. It appears small business and those who save funds through bonds will be winners in this year's budget. Superannuation and pensioners will be stable with the introduction of new incentives for taxation, work practice and savings. Be extra careful with real estate this month. If you are purchasing, go for a fixed term for the first few years, as interest rates will start to rise once the banks begin to feel the pressure of the next few months.

    The New Moon on the 7th in the financial sign of Taurus should see the markets encounter some bullish tendencies with many commodities showing an increase. Exports and the Australian dollar should be running high during most of May and with Mercury (information) and Pluto (research) we could see breaking news in the Biotech and renewable energy industry. As previously predicted "sand" will be big business for our global future and this investment technology could triple in value in the future. The Saudi's horoscope indicates millions of dollars will be invested in sand technology and High Yield Conversion from Low-Cost Sand to High-Capacity Si Electrodes for Li-Ion Batteries and low cost mass produced wafer-type solar panels for housing and industry.

    Pushing the global financial markets aside, there will be some happy moments this month for travellers and holiday deals will be plentiful. Weather patterns due to the continuous El Nino effect could boost tourism in those areas that have previously experienced a downturn in profits in the past due to adverse weather conditions and immigration issues. Cruise lines and flight packages combined with budget type accommodation appears to be advantageous and competitive, so shop around you could buy yourself a great holiday deal. There is a warning for travellers, with Mercury (mind), Mars (impatience) and Jupiter (complacency) all in retrograde; it is important to check and recheck bookings and accommodation before embarking on your travels. You can expect delays, cancellations, mix-ups, disappointments, distraction, losses, misplacements of goods, communication or internet problems, transport breakdowns, accidents or health problems. You may also become forgetful where you left things. Some good advice, don't travel without health insurance during May.

    With Mercury (intelligence) forming a positive connection with Pluto (underworld), May will be a breakthrough month for police and drug enforcement, especially during 7th - 10th, 12th -17th and 25th -31st. Many arrests are indicated, especially individuals and criminal gangs that have been under surveillance for some time by authorities for terrorist activities, scams, corruption, tax evasion, robbery, fraud and money laundering. Fire and electrical hazards appear high on the list of incidents in May and emergency services will be busy. With the after-effects of the solar and Luna eclipse of last month, further seismic activity can be expected around the far Pacific Rim. Venus (love) connects with Jupiter (legal) this month, bringing to conclusion many family separations, divorces, settlements and compensations. The magistrates and family courts are predicted to be overloaded with civil cases during May and with Mercury (communications) in retrograde, many appearances will be postponed, set aside for a future date or held over due to the lack of evidence or a requirement for more time to gather the facts of the matter. If you are expecting a settlement, inheritance, probate, insurance claim, loans, extended credit or agreement over an important issue, then expect to wait a few weeks before you receive it. Communications this month will be slow or delayed.

    From the 21st the Sun (achievements) will enter Gemini (media) and with an array of planetary aspects favouring a boost in media, theatre, show biz, film, TV and stage performances. This is a month that could bring wonderful surprises to those who wish to enter the entertainment industry or follow a career as a screenwriter, producer, artist, performer, editor, journalist, photographer, sound production, recording artist, or road crew. May will also be a month full of surprise media and news stories regarding future media ownership and amalgamations from May to August 3 onward. Expect to see reforms and much media diversity with new players entering the arena.

    Prime Minister Turnbull's popularity polls will start to climb once again from the New Moon of the 7th, as the budget begins to sink into the minds of the Australian community. When the Sun enters Gemini on the 21st it will align favourably with his natal Moon and Mars helping to boost his popularity and acceptance as Prime Minister. Turnbull's horoscope indicates a win for the coalition on July 2 as the moon (emotions) transits through Gemini (news) and Mars (victory) links positively with his natal Jupiter (luck) and Uranus (freedom). Turnbull will win with a reasonable majority; it will not be a hung parliament. However it appears he will not hold the balance of power in the Senate.

    Turning to the USA and Donald Trump (Gemini), the month of May will be a winning month for Trump as Venus (popularity) moves towards his apex of his horoscope from 21 May onward. His planetary aspects for the month are becoming stronger by the day. Trump will be hard to beat for the Republican presidential candidate. Love him or hate him, there is one thing for sure about Trump, he is twofold more honest than Obama and Clinton, he does not like liars. Trump has business acumen, fortitude and he likes to say what he thinks, and try new ways of doing things, hence his success in leadership and business. He is also extremely patriotic and wants to see the USA deficit reduced, a bigger military, better health system and an upturn in employment for all Americans. His horoscope indicates he will be good for America, immaterial what other world leaders say about him. His strong Leo/Virgo ascendant and Moon in Sagittarius make Trump a determined leader. This is perhaps what the USA needs, after the Obama era of disarray.

    Favourable days: 1, 2, 3, 6, 7, 8, 10, 11, 12, 14, 15, 16, 20, 21, 24, 29, 31

    Cautious Days: 4, 5, 9, 13, 17, 18, 19, 22, 23, 25, 26, 27, 28, 30

    The fact that someone took the time to write so much nonsense makes me confused; take a walk, learn a language, see old friends, help someone in need, invest, build something, learn an instrument... do SOMETHING that isn't trying to find causation from celestial bodies in world events, there are none.
