World Predictions

Updated Jan. 2007
Delays in Communication: The next Mercury retrograde period is from 14th February untill 8th March 2007. Mercury retrograde is excellent for research and being in the sign of Aquarius, we can expect many new inventions in the hi-tech world. However, many problems with computers and electronic equipment also occur during this period.

Any strike during this period will not be successful and peace efforts in the Middle East will be up in the air. Any war or military operations started during this period will fail and backfire. This is the reason why we feel that the neo con push towards attacking Iran and the U.S. eagerness to do so will fail completely.

During this period, be very careful of all forms of delays including mixed messages, keys getting lost or misplaced (make backups!), forgetfulness, missed appointments, mail being lost or misplaced, false alarms, indecisiveness, wrong diagnosis,. erasing of e-mail addresses by mistake, and communication gadgets not working properly. Buy the products before or after this period.

Make sure that you back up important data on computers and keep copies of important letters being mailed. Give yourself extra time between meetings and take into account any delays due to communication and transportation problems. However, this is an excellent time for research and to go back over existing leases and other important papers.

Try not to travel during this period as you may have a lot of unexpected delays. If you have to travel, make sure all your documents are with you; and make photocopies and leave them safely at home. People will be more forgetful, will run out of time, change their mind and be very indecisive now. Just avoid signing new documents or initiating new projects. This is a good time for re-evaluating existing work rather than taking on new projects.

Nightmare Period for Different Age Groups (20's and 60's):
End March till beginning of April. 2007

This is a very stressful and an obsessive month for the 20's and 60's age group. You will be prone to mental stress, false conclusions and even danger if you are not careful. Your immune system will feel depleted so pace yourself and avoid dark alleys.

Mars adversely affecting your Neptune during this time indicates you need to be very careful of kidney related problems (heart for the 20s age group) and avoid dark alleys or underhanded activities. If you need any checkups or treatment, recognize that your body does not behave normally during this transit and it is better to have checkups and treatments before or after this period. Of course, the actual time in your particular case will only be for about a week and varies according to your birthdate (consult your astrologer for the exact dates!).

Close Encounters with Iran: End of February and beg. March 2007 is a nightmare period for Iran's Ahmadnijad and the whole 60s age group (including Lebanon Hezbullah's leader Nasrullah). We can expect America to step up its dangerous rhetoric against Iran during this period and possible even some air force activity. However, the air force forecast is due to Mars in Aquarius making adverse aspect with Neptune. This stellium in the sky is being opposed by Saturn indicating suffering of the masses, deep insecurity, major scandals and subversive plans and deception (sounds familiar?!). Events will be planned around end of Jan. 2007 when Dick Cheney and George Bush's charts show underhanded activities and not being able to separate truth from fantasy.

The danger to Iran becomes less after beg. of Mar.2007. However, Ahmadnijad will be very defiant in the first two week of April 2007 as well. The next dangerous dates are end of June and beg. July 2007, but is seems some global event happens which always helps Iran at the last minute!
 
Ahmadnijad's sense of fairness has been violated and that is the only time Mercury in Libra reacts. His position is "why should Iran not have nuclear power when others do" and he has never changed it. His chart, like Putin of Russia, shows the ability to make positive changes in the lives of the masses and 2007 is one of the best years for both of them for long term strategies. Both the Iranian and the Russian leaders have Mercury in Libra conjunct Neptune and play every move like a chess game. They are both intellectual (Ahmadnijad has a PhD in civil engineering) while Bush is just action oriented and not into discussions at all. With a democratically controlled senate, Bush is going to be more and more desperate and consequently more dangerous as he tried to push the neuron agenda in expanding the war.
The U.S. has no business being in the Middle East and they have made Iraq much more dangerous place than it was in Saddam's time. As we had mentioned even before the first Gulf War, Iran will become much stronger and have closer ties to the Southern part of Iraq. George Bush has Saturn coming down in his chart and will leave the office in disgrace and in bad health. His policies (or rather the neo con policies) will not be successful and as we have predicted before, the troops will be out by end of 2008.

Glen Beck, whose chart is similar chart to Rush Limbaugh and both have had similar drug problems and outdated, anti-Muslim views, will try his best to put fear mongering in the hearts of Americans and by bringing in Netanyahu to fool the public in believing that the world is about to end if they don't act against Iran! 

Neptune in Aquarius for many years: Hypoallergenic white cat created! The color white is Aquarius and Neptune represents small animals and pets! Some fascinating inventions combining the analog and the digital world (Steve Jobs chart) will be coming in the market very soon. Morphing technology to take any actor's movements and synch them with any actor is the next big invention just on the horizon. I made the prediction about digital actors around these few years in my predictions several years ago. Another fantastic invention will be in speech technology. With Jupiter in Sagittarius, we will have some of the best educational games coming out in the market and gadgets ranging from the revolutionary iPhone to film cameras available to any young director, to home videos flooding Google and Youtube.

The Stock Market: The most volatile dates for the stock market are exactly the ones laid out for Iran above (end of February through March 2007) are also very stressful for Apple's Steve Jobs, who is getting some very favorable transits from Jupiter which will bail him out. However, we feel that he know about the stock options as he was getting a Mars-Neptune transit in Oct. 2006, which makes people get into scandalous situations and sets themselves up for betrayal and disappointments. He has to be very careful of legal matter from mid February until mid March 2007 when Apple's stocks may also be down.  However, generally, even with Saturn opposing Neptune and feelings of mass insecurity, Jupiter in Sagittarius promises an optimistic market, even though it may not be realistic.

Laura Bush has Mars in Scorpio which is getting touched off by transiting Saturn until Aug. 2007. This is an accident configuration which happens every seven years and points to surgeries and strife relating to self and especially her husband (Mars in her 7th house of marriage). We mentioned this in Oct.2006 and they discovered that she had to have a minor surgery for cancer. She is still not out of danger and may have to have more surgery.

George Bush Sr.: George Bush Sr. belongs to the age group with Neptune in Leo and is in a major accident configuration until Aug. 2007 (Saturn opposed to his Mars and conjunct Neptune). This is a classic aspect of frustration and anger leading to heart problems or stroke. It may also be pointing to his son's disastrous policies which were initiated by himself in the first place!

Astro-Insight: It is interesting how famous people born close to each other have show similar timing for fame. Ted Kennedy (22 Feb.1932), Liz Taylor (27 Feb.1932) and Johnny Cash (26 Feb.1932) were born very close to each other and all had to deal with intoxication and escapist tendencies. However, Liz Taylor and Johnny Cash were born within a day to each other and had many parallels in their lives. Ted Kennedy has Mercury in Aquarius and is very intellectual and very articulate.
