THE BOTTOM LINE: Horrible fundamentals, a weak technical picture, and
mixed signals from the astrological front combine to suggest a week of
market turmoil and increasing downward price pressure for stocks. The
challenge here is finding clear trading opportunities, even on the short
side, in the midst of a choppy and volatile trading environment.

COMMENT: Last week I forecast "an increasingly bearish scenario
unfolding for stocks," and a trading week "that begins with some
positive price energy" that was likely to "get cancelled out altogether
by traders' trepidations." That's exactly how things turned out, with a
week that featured just one positive trading day and losses that have
made 2008 the weakest start to a trading year in the past three-quarters
of a century. We closed out trades in the Model Portfolio for a profit,
and are looking for fresh opportunities on both the long and short sides
at this time.

SITTING IN THE DARK
I love movies. In decades past I studied film in an academic setting,
wrote movie reviews for an entertainment publication, worked on movie
screenplays, acted in a couple of feature films, and served as an
executive in a film production company. Today movies are still a
favorite entertainment choice, and I've never found an adequate
substitute for sitting in a darkened theatre for a couple of hours,
watching larger-than-life images and inhaling the smell of buttered
popcorn. In fact, for a number of years Patty and I have engaged in an
annual ritual during the first couple of months of each calendar year:
once the Oscar nominations have been announced, we begin a frenzied
effort to see as many of the nominated films as we can before the date
of the Oscar ceremonies. This routine provides a welcome break from the
usual tendency to work too hard, and trying to squeeze four or five
movies into a single weekend is a lot of fun. Along the way, we also
sometimes get to see some pretty good films.

Of course not all of our viewing is limited to the pre-Oscar season. In
the past couple of weeks, we've seen two movies that were both superbly
entertaining and quite thought-provoking as well, especially as
reflections of shifts in social mood and economic circumstances.

"Mad Money," featuring Diane Keaton, Queen Latifah, Ted Danson and Katie
Holmes, is a caper movie about three ordinary women who get connected in
an unlikely friendship and decide to do something quite
extraordinary--rob the St. Louis Federal Reserve Bank. The film depicts
characters struggling to deal with tough economic circumstances in
creative ways; Bridget Cardigan (Keaton) is in danger of losing her home
and her upper-middle-class lifestyle when her husband (Danson) is
downsized from his job. She is forced into an unfamiliar labor market
with little if any useful job skills, and winds up with a janitorial
position cleaning toilets at the Federal Reserve Bank.

Bridget discovers that she has some common bonds with her coworkers and
the women cook up a heist of the worn-out currency that's slated for
destruction, and the comedic results are marvelously entertaining. But
what' remarkable about this film is not just its depiction of characters
struggling in an unfavorable economic environment; it's also one of
those rare pieces which recognizes the bogus nature of the U.S.
currency, backed not by gold but empty promises. The message of the
movie is that yes, with fiat currency it really doesn't make much
difference whether money continues to circulate or whether it goes into
the incinerator.

The second film, "Miss Pettigrew Lives For A Day," features Frances
McDormand, Amy Adams, Lee Pace, and Ciaran Hinds. Set in 1939 London,
the movie depicts the unlikely adventures of Guinevere Pettigrew
(McDormand), an out-of-work governess who seizes an opportunity for a
job that's a bit of stretch and finds herself as the "social secretary"
for American actress Delysia Lafosse (Adams). Within a 24-hour period,
she is transported from a soup-kitchen existence into the heady
high-society milieu of London's upper crust. "Miss Pettigrew" is not
only a wonderful vehicle for McDormand's incomparable talent; it's also
a bit of Great Depression nostalgia, a throw-back to the kinds of movies
Hollywood produced in the 1930s to help keep the masses' minds off the
grim realities of bad times. As such, it's an interesting commentary on
the social and entertainment trends of today.

If you don't find these films at a local theatre, then I'd suggest
looking for them on DVD during the coming months. Whether you're looking
for a richer understanding of some of the psychology behind the current
market trends, or whether you'd just like to forget your trading for a
few hours, they both come highly recommended.

A BOOMING BUSINESS
Not all economic news right now is bad, at least if you live in
Afghanistan. Since the U.S. invasion of that country in 2001, the opium
business has been skyrocketing. According to figures from the
International Monetary Fund, 2007 was the first year in which Afghan
farmers made over $1 billion from opium production. The crops of opium
poppies have increased by more than 4332% since 2001.

THE ECONOMIC CALENDAR
This week we will be watching for the economic news on Wholesale Trade,
International Trade, ICSC-UBS Store Sales, MBA Purchase Applications,
Quarterly Services, Survey, Treasury Budget, the EIA Petroleum Status
Report, the EIA Natural Gas Report, Retail Sales, Import and Export
Prices, Business Inventories, Consumer Sentiment, Consumer Price Index,
Jobless Claims, and the Money Supply.

Officials from the Federal Reserve and the U.S. Treasury will be
unusually silent this week. Even so, the Fed will be auctioning off $50
billion in 28-day credit as a part of its frantic effort to increase
liquidity. The auction will take place on Monday, with the results
announced on Tuesday morning.

ASTROLOGICAL DYNAMICS
The week begins with some positive astrological indicators, including
the Mercury/Neptune conjunction on Sunday, and Monday's mid-day
heliocentric Mercury/Cupido conjunction. By Monday's closing bell,
however, we will have the heliocentric Venus/Vulcanus opposition holding
sway, and I expect that negative energy to hold sway over any tendencies
toward market optimism for most of the remainder of the trading week.

Tuesday's eclipse activations by the Sun and Uranus may add to the
bearish tendencies, but by Wednesday afternoon, with its Mars/Kronos
conjunction, we may see some bargain hunters moving in to boost the
action in blue chips. The possibility of a bullish mood that day gets
some positive amplification from Wednesday night's conjunction of
Mercury with the True Lunar Node, but the entry of Venus into Pisces is
likely to slow thing down for a couple of days. (Ultimately, however,
this passage of Venus should have a positive effect, but it probably
won't make its influence felt until the start of the following trading
week.)

The market energies are fairly confusing for most of the day on
Thursday, but the entry of heliocentric Venus into Aquarius on Thursday
is a generally negative indicator--I'm expecting it to add to the
overall choppiness of trading on Thursday and Friday, and then provide
support for bearish assumptions as we move into the following trading
week. That tendency toward choppiness will be underscored by Friday's
entry of Mercury into Pisces.

The weekend brings a mixed bag, with Saturday's Venus/Saturn opposition
and heliocentric Mercury/Pluto conjunction both bringing strongly
positive energy, Sunday stations by the transneptunians Cupido and
Kronos adding to the positive blend, and the entry of heliocentric
Mercury into Capricorn signaling a downward trend. In short, this is a
trading week with many contradictory indicators from the astrological
perspective, and when the signals are mixed, the best assumption is
always the bearish one. It's far better to err on the side of caution in
this kind of situation than to take on additional risk in the absence of
confirming bullish indicators.

Throughout this trading week I will be tracking heliocentric
sixth-harmonic planetary lines (H,60,N,-2) for the Earth, Mercury,
Venus, Neptune, Chiron, Cupido, Admetos, Apollon, and Vulcanus, 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.

Maintaining spiritual vision requires clarity of thought, regularity of
meditation, and an unswerving willingness to trust divine inspiration.
While this need may awaken a desire to protect ourselves from negative
influences, it is far better to bring in the light of pure consciousness
than to develop strategies for keeping darkness away. If we are willing
to give spontaneously without considering the cost, we will discover
that fearless love brings its own unique rewards.

"When you grow up, you have to give yourself away. Sometimes you give
your life all in a moment, but mostly you have to give yourself away
laboring one minute at a time." -- Gaborn Val Orden

GLOBAL EQUITIES MARKETS
Last week I said that global equities were likely to experience "some
nasty spills and chills," and that's what happened in the bourses on
most continents. Stocks around the world intensified their tumble last
as the negative economic news from the U.S. added its force to the
energy of the New Moon. The losses were especially strong in Asia and
the Pacific, with Mumbai, Hong Kong, Tokyo and Sydney all dropping more
than 5%. The losses in Europe were not quite as dramatic, but they were
nevertheless substantial.

Dow Jones Industrial Average -- down 3.04%
Dow Jones Transportation Average -- down 1.33%
Dow Jones Utilities Average -- up 0.28%
S+P 500 -- down 2.80%
NASDAQ Composite Index -- down 2.60%
Russell 2000 -- down 3.80%
London FTSE-100 -- down 3.13%
Amsterdam Index -- down 2.56%
Paris CAC-40 -- down 3.58%
Frankfurt DAX -- down 3.47%
Mexico Index -- down 3.53%
Sao Paulo BOVESPA -- down 2.55%
Sydney All Ordinaries -- down 5.39%
Bombay SENSEX -- down 9.12%
Tokyo Nikkei Index -- down 6.03%
Shanghai SE Composite Index -- down 1.10%
Hong Kong Hang Seng Index -- down 7.52%

U.S. EQUITY TRENDS
With the big sell-off in U.S. stocks last week our technical trend
indicators for U.S. stocks in all time frames continue to confirm our
bearish expectations.

The Russell 2000 closed the week at 660.11. 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 NASDAQ Composite closed the week at 2212.49. 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 S+P 500 closed the week at 1293.37. 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 -- Gold prices consolidated a bit last week, but continued to show
strong bullish tendencies. While the push toward consolidation may
continue a bit during the week ahead, by mid-month it looks like another
strong bullish phase will be underway for Gold, with another leg up for
the yellow metal taking us into early April.

SILVER -- After Silver's powerful surge in recent weeks, it may now be
time for a little bit of profit-taking. However, if we do in fact see
Silver prices pull back a bit in a consolidating move, I don't expect
that kind of action to last for more than six or eight trading sessions.
By the time we get to the Spring Equinox l anticipate another big upward
move in this metal; in fact, the gains we see in late March and most of
April may even be stronger than the positive picture we witnessed in
February!

STOCKS TO WATCH: ORB, SGY.

Orbital Sciences Corporation (ORB)
NYSE; optionable
First Trade Date: 07/10/1998; 09:30 a.m.
Transits of Saturn to the angles of First-Trade horoscopes typically
bring buying opportunities for stocks, but in the case of this
Virginia-based manufacturer of aerospace equipment, Saturn will be
hanging around for a while to intensify the negative potential, backing
up to make a station and conjoin the First-Trade True Lunar Node and
then slowly moving forward to pass over the First-Trade Ascendant yet
another time. So we plan to sell ORB short early in this trading week;
our initial buy stop will be set at 25.25.

Stone Energy Corporation (SGY)
NYSE; optionable
First Trade Date: 07/09/1993; 09:30 a.m.
In the case of Stone Energy Corporation, however, we expect Saturn's
influence to manifest itself in a more conventional way. The company is
involved in the acquisition, exploration, development, operation, and
production of oil and gas properties located in the Gulf of Mexico
shelf, the Rocky Mountain Basins, and the Williston Basin in the United
States, and is also participating in an exploratory joint venture in
Bohai Bay, the People's Republic of China. With the fundamentals for oil
and gas continuing to suggest higher prices ahead, this is certainly the
right industry to be looking at, and with transiting Saturn currently
crossing the SGY First-Trade Ascendant this looks like as good a buying
opportunity as is likely for the near term. Compared to ORB, this
First-Trade chart responds quite differently to the current transits;
once Saturn gets out of the way there will be several strong positives,
including transiting Jupiter conjoining First-Trade Neptune and
First-Trade Uranus, transiting Uranus sextile First-Trade Neptune and
First-Trade Uranus, and transiting Neptune trine First-Trade Kronos. Our
plan is thus to add a long position in this stock by the middle of the
trading week; our initial stop will be set at 21.50.

By providing a source of independent market analysis, the purpose of
FINANCIAL CYCLES WEEKLY is to foster the growth of person-centered
business and investment astrology; to enhance the development and
dissemination of financial literacy and prosperity consciousness; and to
explore the use of technical analysis and financial astrology in
promoting an esoteric spiritual understanding of economic trends,
geocosmic cycles, geopolitical events, and market movements. FINANCIAL
CYCLES WEEKLY is a general interest publication which is prepared from
astrological information, news reports, cycle projections, and market
observations which are believed to be accurate and reliable, but which
cannot be guaranteed. Portfolio and trading reports in this publication
do not include taxes and transaction fees, which should be taken into
consideration by prospective traders and investors. Even with accurate
information, past performance is no guarantee of future results.
Speculation in securities and commodities involves considerable
financial risk, and readers who plan to invest or speculate in
securities or commodities mentioned in FINANCIAL CYCLES WEEKLY have the
complete responsibility for making themselves fully aware of all the
risks involved before they invest. The editor may or may not have
positions in the securities and commodities discussed in this
newsletter, and the information in FINANCIAL CYCLES WEEKLY should in no
way be understood or construed as a solicitation or an offer to buy or
sell any products or securities, nor should the material published in
this newsletter be considered buy/sell advice.
