2) Tim Bost – Barron’s MagazineWe have received the following from Tim Bost. It is always gratifying when astrology receives fair treatment in the media.
And a quick reminder: Every week, Tim Bost submits his newsletter for the ISBA member’s area. The newsletter contains investement tips and astrological background material.
We hope you are already reading this – otherwise may we recommend you start doing it – it is an absolute goldmine of information – check out the Member’s area. Thank you Tim!“Just wanted to let you know that the current (July 12) issue of Barron's magazine features an extended excerpt from the July 4-10 issue of FinancialCyclesWeekly.
The excerpt, which is included in the "Market Watch" column in Barron's, highlights some of the comments I shared with FinancialCyclesWeekly readers on the geopolitical situation in the Pacific, the political posturings in the U.S. presidential campaign, and the challenges we face when we try to put economic reports into an understandable perspective.
Although the passage quoted in Barron's doesn't specifically mention the role that financial astrology plays in the forecasts and perspectives that the readers of FinancialCyclesWeekly get each week in their email, it's nevertheless encouraging to see this mainstream business publication continuing to pay such close attention to developments in the realm of financial astrology!
This isn't the first time that Barron's has quoted what I've put in the newsletter, of course. Earlier this year they reported on comments from FinancialCyclesWeekly on the economic impact of rising oil prices. Back in August, 2000, Barron's also featured our forecast for the stock market, which correctly predicted the exact date a month later that the big bear market sell-off began.

It really is a very difficult question to answer, as we have members from more than 30 countries ranging from very poor to very rich. Therefore the prices vary enormously, even though the people who seek our type of advice often are financially well off. But for this reason, ISBA has no price policy.I (Karen) can tell you that the average price level in Scandinavia is an hourly fee of USD 200 – 500. If any member would like to contribute their experiences, we would love to hear from you, ans we will publish any comments in the upcoming newsletters.

5) Questions in the newsletterA new member has asked, whether it is possible to send questions about business astrology and financial astrology to the newsletter, as it appears that the Discussion Forum is rarely visited.The answer is: YES. Please send your questions to: info@businessastrologers.com, and we will publish them in the following newsletter.

6) Article from Paul Nipperess
And finally we have another article from Paul Yogi Nipperess in Australia: Business Cycles – Part 4. The article can be read on the ISBA web. Thank you, Paul!

Best wishes
Karen & Hannah
