No it doesn't. Maybe the predictions come true slightly more often than chance, but the person writing them also most likely has a comprehension of world markets and how things are travelling. Especially given that they write them based on economies, they've probably got some idea without adding astrological nonsense to it. When are people going to get over the idea that the other planets have anything to do with us? This is so primitive and ridiculous. I've seen so many explanations of how it COULD have an effect but clearly by people who can't do math.
There are many things that we don't understand. Tell me , how does gravity work? More mysteriously, why do women act that way? How can an electron act like a partical and a wave? How long is the universe? How did someone like trump get to have a chance at the presidency. ? What happened before the big bang? Why aren't you rich? If I've got five apples, how many oranges do I have? Human ignorance is only matched by our arrogance.
Fed will make an important announcement at their meeting this week, scheduled for Wednesday, September 21. That is the last day of Mercury retrograde, the last day of the Sun in Virgo, and a day that highlights the moon in Gemini, a volatile placement for financial markets, especially interest-rate related markets. Jupiter, in early Libra, makes a T-square to the FRB Sun/Pluto opposition in Capricorn-Cancer. Usually, under such Jupiter transits, the Fed's position is more accommodative. If so, stocks and precious metals markets will love it. Also keep in mind that Venus in Libra often corresponds to a major low in Silver, as discussed in our Forecast 2016 Book. Mars in Capricorn is often more bullish for Gold than it was in Sagittarius. Everyone is down on metals, based on the idea that the Fed will announce a hike in its short-term rates. But in the cosmos, the story is a little different. Everything is in flux, and when in flux, investor sentiment changes. Things don't go the way everyone thinks they should go. There is a new narrative about to be rendered. This is a week to be very alert and adaptable. It will not behoove one to be stuck in a viewpoint based on the past two weeks. The bottom line for Financial Astrologers is that this is the beginning of many new cosmic cycles. Don't be surprised if it is also the beginning of a new direction in financial, economic, and banking policies. Don't be surprised if it starts a major pendulum shift in politics too. It is like the fog will begins to lift, and the surreal world around us will start to become real again. Financial markets will likely begin to move back in tandem with buy and sell technical signals.
Can you translate this please? I just want to know if the Fed is going to raise rates tonite and crash the stock market. Any risk of you making an actual prediction?
I think he's implying that rates may not go up as thought? Or that metals may not go down if rates rise? "Everyone is down on metals, based on the idea that the Fed will announce a hike in its short-term rates. But in the cosmos, the story is a little different.

"Implying" is not really the same as "Predicting" is it. Maybe the thread title should be "Astrological Implications"?
week will find the Sun in Libra conjunct Jupiter, which also recently moved into Libra. The conjoining of these two benefics will take place on Monday, the same day that Pluto ends it retrograde motion. The next day, September 27, Mars will begin its six-week journey through Capricorn, a cardinal sign. With this ingress of Mars into a cardinal sign, conjunct the Federal Reserve Board's Sun/Pluto opposition and one day after Pluto turns direct, the emphasis will be upon USA debt and taxes. This is interesting because it will coincide with the first debate between Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump. Thus we know what the two of the biggest themes will be. With Pluto involved, it will also focus upon race relations. Expect some exaggerations of facts (Sun/Jupiter), attempts to be nice to one another (Sun/Jupiter in Libra), but below-the-belt insinuations too. Pluto rules the underground, and hence can be underhanded. As far as markets are concerned, there can be reversals of minor cycles. In addition to the geocosmic signatures just mentioned, we also need to keep alert of the new moon in Libra that occurs next Saturday, October 1. This will be an especially important new moon. If markets rise into that period, they could reverse sharply into the full moon that follows two weeks later. Copied from mmacycles.com
The Sun will make a T-square with Pluto and Uranus, October 7 and 15 respectively. As well, we see Mars, Jupiter, and Uranus in aspect to one other close in time, it often coincides with large price swings. October is known for such large price movements anyway, but it may be stronger than usual this October. Once the Sun is done making its translation to Uranus and Pluto, Mars will follow with a conjunction to Pluto and square to Uranus, October 19-28. It may get very wild. If markets turn down, they could do so heavily. But there is an election coming up, and with exception of 2008, severe sell-offs in stocks don't usually happen at this time. It can be down, but not usually in a panic. It is interesting that last week's selloff in stocks was related to a financial threat to Deutsche Bank (heavy fines), which some analysts were comparing to the Lehman Brothers fallout that started the panic in September-October 2008. The aspects of 2016 are not nearly as intense as they were in the fall of 2008. Still, there are cosmic signs ahead that will require patience and forethought in order to navigate successfully.

strength in the U.S. Dollar had a chilling effect on Gold and Silver, which fell sharply on Tuesday and continued lower the rest of the week. The prior week, Gold was testing 1350. On Friday, it was testing 1240. The carnage was similar with Silver, which started the week trading as high as 19.38. By Friday, it was testing 17.00, the low of the day, before closing near 17.50. These are the lowest levels for each since June. The volatility in the currencies is not only related to the issues of Brexit. The greater concern is that the Federal Reserve Board has backed itself into a corner. The only way out seems to be that it must raise its short-term interest rates. It got a little relief when Friday's payroll reports showed a less than expected gain in the jobs market. The shortfall was not enough to damage the claim that new US jobs still continue to show gains. That's good news for Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton. However, the continued strength of the US Dollar going into this election resurrects the 16-year cycle correlation that favors a Republican presidential victory. That is, every 16 years the U.S. Dollar makes a high within 9 months of the presidential election when a Republican wins. This is that 16th year (as was 2000 with Bush Jr, 1984 with Reagan, 1968 with Nixon, and 1952 with Eisenhower). Every 16 years, the US Dollar makes a low too, and a Democrat wins. That was the case for Obama in 2008, and before that, Bill Clinton in 1992, Carter in 1976, Kennedy in 1960, and Roosevelt in 1944. Copied from mmacycles.com

, they (Germans) worry about what a President Trump would mean to Europe. They are worried that America will elect Trump. More worried than what America would be like under a President Hillary Clinton. This was the question they asked of me: "Who will win the election" I answered, "Based on the selection of running mates, it is a choice between candidates whose birthdates (Sun position of Clinton and Kaine) make a grand trine to the USA Venus/Jupiter, versus candidates whose Suns make a conjunction to the USA Mars, square Neptune (Trump and Pence). My belief is that the USA will choose Venus/Jupiter over Mars, and probably in a landslide." MMA Free Weekly Column, August 15, 2016, recounting meetings with Europeans during my month-long tour of Europe July-August. ------------
Two weeks ago, 12 notable international and national astrologers at the ISAR 2016 convention unanimously forecasted that Hillary Clinton would be the likely victor in the 2016 USA presidential election. I also arrived at the same conclusion back in early August. Of course, many polls have recently shown the same probability. But those polls are tightening now amidst all the new WikiLeaks releases pointing to possible irregularities (and maybe even illegal behavior) on how the Clintons intertwined their non-profit foundation with political activities, which is not permissible under law, and then possibly covered this up and obstructed investigations by both Congress and the FBI. Could the polls and astrologers be wrong? If so, this will be the most stunning upset since the Truman-Dewey election of 1948. However, it is possible. Copied from Mmacycles.com
November 24, the first of three passages of the Jupiter/Pluto waning square will take place. This will bring back themes that were present when these two planets were in conjunction in December 2007, which was the first month of the official Great Recession. It pertains to the four D's: debt, deficits, default, and downgrades, plus taxes. These themes are apt to be present through all three passages, which will last until August 2017. Along the way, this square will be part of a cardinal T-square with Uranus, which will be at its strongest in March 2017 +/- 2 months. This type of cardinal T-square is often in effect when sudden financial crises, or stock market selloffs, occur. There is also a Venus translation occurring next week. Venus will conjunct Pluto and square Jupiter on November 25. Four days later, Venus will square Uranus, forming yet another cardinal T-square. These are all powerful geocosmic reversal signatures, as is the Sun/Neptune waning square of November 30. Many financial markets are vulnerable to reversing their recent moves, as new and sudden information and events unfold that change the financial and possibly political outlook of the masses. However, it is a new primary cycle, so any reversal, although steep, may be short-lived. Copied grom Mmacycles.com
look forward to the year 2017, I see a great deal of excitement because there is new leadership in the United States. With it comes a heightened awareness of the unknown, the unexpected, which is shown by the developing cardinal T-square between Jupiter, Pluto, and Uranus. In fact, that started this week with the first of three passages of the Jupiter/Pluto waning square, and will last into the summer, with a huge peak February 22-April 21. On Christmas Eve, December 24, 2016, the first of three Saturn/Uranus trines will take place, followed by the first of three Jupiter/Uranus oppositions on December 26. That is a lot of Uranus the unexpected, the sudden, the disruptive, the new awareness and new ideas for a new future. And of course, it is a reflection of the new USA President, Donald Trump, who is born under a lunar eclipse in which the Sun is conjunct Uranus (there he is again) in the easily distracted and changeable sign of Gemini an extremely original but unpredictable and quite probably disruptive geocosmic force.

http://new.mmacycles.com/index.php?route=blog/category&category_id=1completed the Forecast 2017 Book, I was impressed by how connected the next year is to Donald Trump's own horoscope. It appears that 2017 will be a year dominated by Trump. What happens to him affects the entire world, and vice-versa, for better or worse, and probably both, for nothing is ever "normal" or "average" about him or the year 2017. All attempts by the press and others to "normalize" him will fail. His Sun-Uranus conjunction, which is part of his natal lunar eclipse in Gemini/Sagittarius, is a signature of brilliant insights, but also erratic, unexpected, unpredictable, and even disruptive behaviors. Remember, Uranus doesn't like boundaries or rules. They exist only to be broken, again for better or worse, and oftentimes both. The same may be true with promises made on the campaign trail, which may begin to morph into newer ideas that will appear to contradict those promises. In his mind, he will not breaking promises, but rather coming up with a "better idea." It is all about "better ideas" for a Gemini, that and being allowed to be flexible when a "better idea" is hatched. The reason 2017 is very much like Donald Trump is because there is a cardinal T-square between Jupiter, Uranus, and Pluto, November 2016 through August 2017. It is Uranus again. There are three peaks with this T-square and two will happen very soon: December 19-January 12 and February 22-April 21. The world may get a real dose of how the new president will work during those times. More important to many of us, the world's financial markets may react accordingly and in a similar erratic and/or explosive action at those times, with powerful breakouts to new highs or severe declines in equity markets that rattle the world financial system.

sights, however, are set on the last two weeks of the year when more powerful reversal signatures are present. As described last week, "The next important three-star CRD will not unfold until Mercury turns retrograde on December 19, which begins a heavily populated period lasting through January 12. There are 11 major geocosmic signatures unfolding then, including the first passage of the long-term waning trine between Saturn and Uranus (December 24, 2016 through November 11, 2017), which has a nice track record of corresponding to long-term cycle highs in U.S. stocks, as described at length in the forthcoming Forecast 2017 Book, due out in less than 2 weeks. This time band also includes the first of three powerful intermediate-term geocosmic signatures of Jupiter in opposition to Uranus on December 26, followed by Uranus turning direct on December 29. It looks like the holiday season will be explosive, instead of its normally quiet period for financial markets and world politics." There is actually a second important time band of powerful geocosmic signatures that occurs February 22-April 21, covering Venus retrograde, which begins March 4, 2017. This might be the most important geocosmic period of 2017. We describe this period in greater detail on our YouTube video at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_LOEop2Hcr8three that was just released on Thursday. Venus retrograde occurs every 19 months. However, every fifth time or every 8 years it occurs in the same section of the zodiac. This one will take place at 13 Aries. This last happened 8 years ago, on March 6, 2009. You may recognize that this was the bottom of the stock market crash, when the DJIA fell to 6469. That ended the bear market in which the DJIA lost 54.4% of its value. It has been in a bull market ever since, with prices now up 205%. Will it reverse again under Venus retrograde and start a new bear market then? This is how financial astrology often works. This is why we are focused on early 2017. This is why we did the video, outlining this part of the Forecast 2017 Book. This is why we planned the MMA 2017 Investment retreat in San Diego for this time in early March. We want to be aware of major changes coming up that will affect long-term investments, and we want to be prepared to act upon those changes in banking and economic policies that we believe will have a strong influence on financial markets.

potential volatility during this Mercury retrograde could be further exacerbated by the abundance of geocosmic signatures involving Uranus. Mercury retrograde with Pluto is confusing enough, but Uranus signatures are like Mercury retrograde tripled in strength (and mischief). On December 24, Saturn will make the first of its three trine passages to Uranus. Two days later, Jupiter will make its first of three opposition passages to Uranus. On December 29, Uranus will end its retrograde motion as it turns stationary direct. Although all are important, it is the opposition between Jupiter and Uranus that stands out most, for it is the highest ranked of all planetary aspects correlating with primary or greater cycles in the DJIA, given an orb of 12 trading days, as reported in our studies of The Ultimate Book of Stock Market Timing Volume 3: Geocosmic Correlations to Trading Cycles. In every instance analyzed since 1934, at least a half-primary cycle has unfolded in this time band, and in over 83% of those cases, it has been a primary or greater cycle that culminated. This is the reason for writing the special stock market report Thursday night, in which the history and projections for the next three weeks was examined. The December 19-January 12 period is the first of two important geocosmic time bands coming up shortly, that involve the cardinal T-square of Jupiter in Libra, Pluto in Capricorn, and Uranus in Aries. The second one involving this cardinal T-square occurs February 22-April 21. This includes the very important Venus retrograde, which begins March 4, 2017. As stated last week, "This might be the most important geocosmic period of 2017. We describe this period in greater detail on our YouTube video at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_LOEop2Hcr8three.

http://www.gold-eagle.com/article/gold-trump-will-make-gold-great-again Athe markets don't move much during the next week or two it won't be due to a lack of geocosmic signatures. If they do make substantial moves, it will be in accordance with the abundance of 12 geocosmic signatures that are in force, December 19-January 12. This is a time when traders tend to go on vacation, volume is light, and price activity tends to be subdued. However, this is also a time of intense geocosmic activity that in normal markets would have a high correspondence to major reversals of trends, as well as unexpected and possibly disruptive conditions in the natural and/or geopolitical world. We are already witnessing another bout of increased terrorist activity related to these signatures, most notable the Jupiter/Uranus opposition, combined with the change of direction of Uranus in Aries, as it moves from its retrograde to direct motion on December 29, with an orb of influence up to 12 days either side. Uranus in Aries can be dangerous. It can also be very exciting and filled with new ideas, new hopes, and new visions for the future. The ideas may be radical, but they can also be brilliant. Thus, we enter 2017 with a sense of both excitement and trepidation about "What will happen next?" With a cardinal T-square now in effect late November through January 12, and then again February 22-April 21, we need to get used to the idea that it is impossible to get used to anything.
