THE BOTTOM LINE: The planets are aligned for a very positive week in
stocks, but extended periods with the Moon void-of-course on Monday and
Wednesday will make it difficult for traders to read market signals
correctly. With manipulative forces hard at work behind the scenes,
there is a particular need for cautious responses to economic and market
data on Wednesday and Thursday. As a whole, this should be a week with
some healthy gains in the equities markets.

COMMENT: Once again, last week's forecast proved to be accurate and
precise, with stocks bringing a negative bias to a challenging week.
There was plenty to keep the pundits and speculators entertained, with
oil prices posting their first daily close above $100 a barrel, gold
hitting a new all-time high, banks predicting yet another round of
devastating write-downs, consumer inflation accelerating, private equity
giant Kohlberg Kravis Roberts delaying repayments on mortgage-related
debt for a second time, and the Federal Reserve pulling its head out of
the sand long enough to admit that the economy is slowing and inflation
is increasing in a classic stagflation scenario. Along the way, there
was ample evidence of stressful times in the lives of individuals and
institutions, struggling to keep up with increasing pressure, decreasing
resources, mangled communications, and a very intense burst of emotional
tension. Whew! It's a good thing we don't get Mercury stations and lunar
eclipses every week!

ECLIPSE POLITICS
Speaking of the lunar eclipse, a loyal reader in Delaware pointed out to
me this past week that it had conjoined John McCain's natal Sun, just in
time to trigger the New York Times article about the presumed Republican
presidential nominee's relationship with a telecommunications lobbyist
and his subsequent efforts to influence an FCC ruling while he was head
of a Senate committee. Whether or not this will erupt into a bigger
scandal remains to be seen, but it's oddly reminiscent of the heating up
of the Monica Lewinsky affair 10 years ago after a solar eclipse hit
Bill Clinton's natal Sun. By the way, this lunar eclipse also conjoined
the transneptunian planet Zeus in Barack Obama's natal horoscope, the
planet Alfred Witte described as symbolizing "leadership, direction, and
irresistible force."

WHERE'S THE MONEY?
In spite of the Fed's efforts to stimulate economic action through lower
interest rates and in spite of promises from Congress and the White
House of rebates on the way, the economy seems to be tightening
inexorably. The lower rates don't mean much, since the banks simply
aren't lending in the face of collapsing collateral and uncertain times
ahead.

Here in Sarasota, Florida, there has been a sudden halt to new condo
construction as the funding has dried up. In the downtown area alone,
the city has granted permits for the construction of 20 new high-rise
condominium projects that would add about 2,400 new residential units.
But right now there are more than 350 existing condos up for sale with
no buyers in sight, and last week one of the developers scrapped
construction plans and put the lot on the market in an effort to recoup
some of his money. On top of that, 11 other downtown construction
projects have stopped all activity because they are waiting for new
financing to come through, and several other projects are being
redesigned in the hopes that scaled-down versions of the original plans
will stand a better chance of breaking even.

The prospects for new financing coming through for these projects seem
increasingly slim right now, and what we're seeing here may be just the
start of some even more drastic belt-tightening in the months and years
ahead.

FAREWELL TO LEGG
I got word last week that my old friend Herb Legg of Olympia, Washington
had died in late January at the age of 86. Herb was a political
activist, community organizer, economic commentator, and indefatigable
liberal gadfly. He and I first met about 35 years ago in western North
Carolina, and since that time he followed a relentless program of
"staying in touch"--a phrase that epitomized his personal and political
philosophy.

Several times a year I'd get envelopes from Herb that were almost
completely obliterated with scribbled marking, rubber stamp impressions,
and colorful stickers. A typical one included the messages that read
"This Account Is Overdue," "Good Effort," "Support the Lions Hearing
Foundation," "Junk Mail," "You Can't Win. You Can't Break Even. You
Can't Even Quit The Game," "Approved," "Never Ask A Barber If You Need A
Haircut," "Super," "One Nuclear Bomb Can Ruin Your Whole Day,"
"Confirmation," "Just Because You Are Paranoid Does Not Mean They Are
Not Out To Get You," and "Sexually Explicit Material Enclosed," plus
picture stamps of a cat, an apple, a rhinoceros, and a unicorn. And that
was just the front of the envelope--there was even more on the back, and
it was a wonder that the postman could find the address hidden in a
corner and get the thing delivered!

Each envelope from Herb contained a full ounce of Xeroxed newspaper
clippings, colorful slips of paper, handouts, copies of letters to
editors, slogans, and information about his latest community causes and
efforts to expand the consciousness of those around him. There was
always something thought-provoking inside, whether or not I happened to
agree with Herb's point of view, and there was always a stamped postcard
with Herb's address on it, along with the admonition to "Stay in Touch"
myself.

As life accelerated and the age of email took over, I must confess that
I got less attentive to that admonition. Even so, the envelopes from
Herb kept arriving at irregular intervals, and each time one of them
showed up I was reminded of what this amazing and gentle man stood
for--a profound understanding that the highest value in life is our
ability to touch each other with love and understanding, no matter how
much the distractions of daily life surround us. I'll miss Herb, and
I'll miss getting those wildly colorful envelopes in my mailbox, too.

THE ECONOMIC CALENDAR
This week we will be watching for the economic news on Existing Home
Sales, the Producer Price Index, ICSC-UBS Store Sales, MBA Purchase
Applications, Consumer Confidence, Durable Goods Orders, New Home Sales,
the EIA Petroleum Status Report, the EIA Natural Gas Report, the
preliminary GDP Report, the Help Wanted Index, Personal Income and
Outlays, Consumer Sentiment, NAPM Chicago, Jobless Claims, and the Money
Supply.

On Monday and Tuesday Federal Reserve Governor Randall Kroszner will be
speaking at the Global Association of Risk Professionals convention in
New York, and on Monday Federal Reserve Governor Frederic Mishkin will
be at East Carolina University in Greenville, North Carolina to speak on
"Stabilizing Inflation" for the Beta Gamma Sigma Distinguished Lecture
Series; Mishkin will also be appearing at the National Press Club in
Washington, D.C. on Wednesday. Tuesday will see Federal Reserve Governor
Donald Kohn at the University of North Carolina in Wilmington to speak
on "The U.S. Economy and Monetary Policy" for the Business Week Program
at the Cameron School of Business. On Friday there will be three key
presentations by Fed officials, with Boston Federal Reserve Bank
President Eric Rosengren joining Federal Reserve Governor Frederic
Mishkin in a discussion of leveraged losses at New York monetary policy
forum jointly sponsored by the University of Chicago and Brandeis
University; Atlanta Federal Reserve Bank President Dennis Lockhart
talking to the Commerce Club in Atlanta about the subprime crisis; and
St. Louis Federal Reserve Bank President William Poole discussing moral
hazard at the University Club in New York.

The week's biggest economic news, however, is likely to be focused on
Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Shalom Bernanke, who will be in the
nation's capitol for his semiannual testimony before Congress. Dr. Ben
will be in front of the House Financial Services Committee on Wednesday
and will appear before the Senate Banking Committee on Thursday.

ASTROLOGICAL DYNAMICS
The trading week gets underway within the aura of Sunday's Sun/Saturn
opposition, a planetary dynamic that sometimes depresses market activity
for a day or two but in general works to reinforce an upward bias to
stock prices. In any case, the trading day on Monday begins with the
Moon void-of-course, so I will be viewing any apparent trend with
suspicion and will refrain from active trading at least until after the
Moon enters Scorpio Monday afternoon.

By Monday's closing bell, however, the stage will have been set for an
extremely positive week for equities. The upward trend should be clearly
in evidence by the time trading gets underway on Tuesday, and that day's
Mercury/Venus conjunction, heliocentric Venus/Kronos opposition, and
heliocentric Mercury/Poseidon conjunct all point to higher stock prices.

The positive energy continues into Wednesday, with some amplification
coming from the lunar apogee, but there's an important caveat. The Moon
goes void-of-course less than half an hour after Wednesday's opening
bell, and it stays void throughout the remainder of the trading day. The
information we will be getting about economic and market conditions is
not to be trusted that day, especially since a rare Neptune/Poseidon
parallel is underway--the fondest hopes and the grandest dreams are
likely to be pure and deliberate deception. With Ben Shalom Bernanke
beginning his testimony before Congress and with the final week of
campaigning heating up before the primary contests in Ohio and Texas,
there will be plenty to suspicious of!

On Thursday we may be ready for a brief breather as far as stock prices
are concerned, but the heliocentric Venus/Jupiter conjunction brings a
positive bias to the mix. That's also true of the waning heliocentric
Jupiter/Uranus quintile, which is an extremely rare event--it last
occurred in late May, 1994. While I expect Friday to be a positive day
that caps off a positive week, there's also the possibility that some
profit-taking will level off the action a bit, especially since the
Venus/Pluto parallel may calm down the speculative energies. That same
planetary aspect will be triggering some powerfully optimistic energy
during the following week, however, so a short-term bullish bias is
definitely justified by the current astrology at work.

Throughout this trading week I will be tracking heliocentric
fourth-harmonic planetary lines (H,90,N,-2) for Mercury, Venus, Jupiter,
Chiron, Kronos, and Poseidon, using the Fibonacci/Galactic Trader
software from P.A.S. to follow the active planetary support and
resistance in real time. For more information on this software as an
astro-trading platform go to

Have a great week!

SPIRITUAL FOCUS FOR THE WEEK
Many of history's most successful traders have clearly understood that
emotional equilibrium is the key to effective trading. Through Practical
Spiritual Astrology we have an opportunity to restore inner harmony,
enhance emotional balance, and make wiser choices in the markets.

When we awaken in consciousness and begin to feel more alive ourselves,
when we get in touch with our own divine vitality, we are doing more
than just adding to our personal spiritual growth. Consciously or
unconsciously, we are also accepting responsibility for others--for our
families, for our communities, and for our planet. Knowing that the
individuals in any group embody many stages of awareness and evolution,
we can open our hearts to serve more humbly and appropriately.

"Since nothing we intend is ever faultless, and nothing we attempt ever
without error, and nothing we achieve without some measure of finitude
and fallibility we call humanness, we are saved by forgiveness." --David
Augsburger

GLOBAL EQUITIES MARKETS
Although there were some bright spots in Europe and Latin America, with
Amsterdam and Sao Paulo leading the way, for the most part the markets
around the world spent last week treading water, with a clear bias to
the downside. Most of the strength in Europe was connected with surging
prices in the precious metals, and with the U.S. dollar hitting a
three-week low versus the euro.

Dow Jones Industrial Average -- up 0.27%
Dow Jones Transportation Average -- down 0.47%
Dow Jones Utilities Average -- down 0.57%
S+P 500 -- up 0.23%
NASDAQ Composite Index -- down 0.79%
Russell 2000 -- down 0.87%
London FTSE-100 -- up 1.74%
Amsterdam Index -- up 3.87%
Paris CAC-40 -- up 1.11%
Frankfurt DAX -- down 0.38%
Mexico Index -- up 1.86%
Sao Paulo BOVESPA -- up 5.45%
Sydney All Ordinaries -- down 0.62%
Bombay SENSEX -- down 4.23%
Tokyo Nikkei Index -- down 0.90%
Shanghai SE Composite Index -- down 2.82%
Hong Kong Hang Seng Index -- down 3.49%

U.S. EQUITY TRENDS
U.S. stocks spent another week essentially going nowhere, but with a
significantly negative bias. While some of the large-cap issues managed
to close the week in positive territory, the picture was not very rosy
at all for the small caps and tech issues. Right now we are watching the
astrological indicators of a possible turn back to the plus side, but
from a purely technical standpoint our bearish trend indicators for U.S.
stocks in all time frames remained confirmed.

The NASDAQ Composite closed the week at 2303.35. The NASDAQ is now on a
January 22 long-term sell signal, with a daily close of 3044 or higher
needed to resume long-term bullish expectations. This index remains on a
November 8 short-term sell signal, with a daily close above 2735 now
needed to reverse our technical trend assumptions back to the buy side.
We are now also on a January 8 intermediate-term sell signal, with a
daily close above 2861 currently required to flip this indicator back to
the buy side.

The Russell 2000 closed the week at 695.43. The Russell is on a January
4 short-term sell signal, with a daily close above 799 now required to
return to short-term bullishness for the Russell. Our August 3, 2007
intermediate-term sell signal for the Russell 2000 remains in place at
this point, with a daily close above 824 currently required to
reactivate intermediate-term bullishness. The Russell is now also on a
November 26, 2007 long-term sell signal, with a daily close above 856
needed to move our long-term indicator for the Russell back to the buy side.

The S+P 500 closed the week at 1353.11. The S+P is on a December 17
short-term sell signal, with a daily close above 1436 needed to reverse
this signal back to the long side. The S+P 500 is on a November 26, 2007
intermediate-term sell signal, with a daily close above 1499 needed to
reverse it back to the buy side. For the long-term, the S+P is on a
January 17 sell signal, with a daily close above 1552 now need to flip
our long-term trend expectations back to bullish assumptions.

S+P 500 -- Long-Term Bearish; Intermediate-Term Bearish; Short-Term Bearish
NASDAQ -- Long-Term Bearish; Intermediate-Term Bearish; Short-Term Bearish
RUSSELL 2000 -- Long-Term Bearish; Intermediate-Term Bearish; Short-Term
Bearish

METAL MARKETS
GOLD -- I noted last week that with "astrological support for the yellow
metal noticeably weaker over the next couple of weeks, it's certainly
likely now that we will see a more substantial correction get underway"
in Gold. That certainly didn't happen last week, with the metal hitting
yet another all-time trading high. Even so, the astrological and cycle
indicators remain in place and the outlook for Gold is increasingly
toppy, if not completely bearish. Protect profits here and be ready for
opportunities on the short side in the weeks ahead.

SILVER -- Although it backed off a bit after an aggressive start to the
week that took it to its highest level in 27 years, Silver also finished
up in positive territory. Like Gold, this metal brings the potential for
increasing downside pressure right now. The lunar apogee after the
closing bell on Wednesday could be a major trigger of a significant
corrective move, so I'll be watching the price action particularly
closely toward the end of the trading week.

First Trade Date: 07/10/1998; 09:30 a.m.
Amsterdam-based Core Laboratories provides reservoir description,
production enhancement, and management services to the oil and gas
industry around the world. This stock has just started to break out of
the trading range that has confined it during the past four or five
weeks as transiting Saturn has hovered near the CLB First-Trade
Ascendant. As that aspect fades the stage will be set for even higher
prices for CLB, and with transiting Jupiter semisquare First-Trade
Cupido and sesquiquadrate the First-Trade True Lunar Node there's a good
possibility that the next breakout for this stock will be significant.
We plan to add a long position to the Model Portfolio toward the end of
this trading week; our initial stop will be set at 106.50.

McDermott International Inc. (MDR)
NYSE; optionable
First Trade Date: 11/29/1982; 10:00 a.m.
With transiting Jupiter crossing the MDR First-Trade Ascendant, it's not
surprising to see this stock challenging recent price resistance. In
fact, with transiting Apollon conjoining First-Trade Poseidon, things
may seem unusually rosy. However, transiting Saturn is moving into
position to square First-Trade Uranus and sextile the First-Trade True
Lunar Node. That means a short position is in order. We will take one
during the first part of the trading week, with an initial buy stop set
at 50.75.

The Shaw Group Inc. (SGR)
NYSE; optionable
First Trade Date: 07/11/1991; 09:30 a.m.
Based in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, the Shaw Group provides a variety of
waste management engineering, technology, construction, fabrication,
environmental, and industrial services to companies around the world.
SGR is just getting ready for an upside breakout, and transiting Saturn
is crossing its First-Trade Midheaven. Along the way, there are plenty
of positive aspects for this stock, including Jupiter square First-Trade
Mercury, quincunx First-Trade Hades, semisquare First-Trade Pluto, and
trine First-Trade Venus. Our plan is thus to add a long position in SGR
to the Model Portfolio around the middle of the trading week; our
initial stop will be set at 54.00.
