Astrological Prediction for US Market

Crawford says A lunar eclipse and an opposition of Saturn and Neptune combined with bearish market fundamentals could keep Wall Street under a cloud Configurations between Saturn and Neptune may have precipitated a crisis in the Mexican peso in December 1994 and accompanied the crash of 1929 Saturn and Neptune, opposed by Jupiter, coincided with the bankruptcy of the Soviet Union and timed the fall of the Berlin Wall Think Wall Street has seen the worst of the sell-off ? Not if the stars are right. That is the prognostication from financial astrologer Arch Crawford, who predicts the direction of financial markets using a mix of technical and fundamental analysis paired with close examination of planetary cycles.

His current assessment: a lunar eclipse and an opposition of Saturn and Neptune are in the cosmic cards this week. Combined with bearish market fundamentals that should keep the world’s biggest stock market under a cloud, the stargazer told clients.

After Wednesday’s short break, US stocks slipped again on Thursday, joining swooning peers in Europe and Asia. It all began on Tuesday, when stocks slumped as a rout in China sent a ripple around the globe, and the Dow Jones slid 546 points in the worst slide for blue chips since the days following the September 11 terrorist attacks.

But Crawford — whose achievements include warning clients to get out of stocks before the 1987 crash, in part because of a rare alignment in the heavens — now says days ahead may be even more gut-wrenching than Tuesday, when some $600 billion in US stock values evaporated.

Why is he so decidedly bearish? Well, for one, Crawford told clients that he sees an ominous sign for the mar kets in the skies: Saturn opposed Neptune on the New York City horizon at the New York Stock Exchange close at 4pm local time (2100 GMT) on Wednesday (That would . be 2:30am on Thursday in India; but since India is in the east, the face-off could be on Wednesday itself.) “But that’s not all,” mused Crawford, whose clients include top Wall Street hedge fund managers who subscribe to his newsletter for $5,000 a year. “March 3 contains a lunar eclipse and a Saturn/Neptune opposition in apparent right ascension (as astronomers measure the sky),” he said
