THE BOTTOM LINE: There are some solid astrological factors at work this
week promoting bullish activity in the stock market, and they should get
some help from the latest round of efforts by the U.S. Treasury and the
Federal Reserve to settle fears of borrowing and avert financial panic.
While the actions of the government probably shouldn't be trusted, and
while we are staying extremely cautious in our approach to trading right
now, there are nevertheless a few opportunities emerging that are likely
to set up profitable trades, so for the time being we can perhaps best
be described as reluctantly bullish.

COMMENT: I said last week that "even though I'm expecting the upward
trend in stock prices to continue, I'm also aware of the need for
extreme caution in this incredibly volatile market environment." As it
turned out, caution was definitely the watchword, at least in U.S.
markets. While most of the rest of the world followed the astrological
lead and posted higher prices in equities trading, the large-cap stocks
in the U.S. started off the week with a bias to the upside as expected,
but then struggled for the three final sessions of the week. Perhaps it
was just a reflection of how unconvinced the smart money is that the
current troubles are really under control.

NEW POWERS FOR THE FED?
It certainly seems a little bit strange that the Federal Reserve is
being granted vast new powers in the Bush administration's
much-ballyhooed plan for revamping the financial system. The plan,
which will be detailed by Treasury Secretary Hank Paulson in a special
announcement on Monday morning as the Sun conjoins the antiscion of last
September's solar eclipse, is apparently an attempt to grant official
policy status (by executive decree) to the wild actions that the Federal
Reserve has been taking in recent weeks, such as massively devaluing the
currency by pumping staggering amounts of cash and credit into the
system and assisting one presumably private bank in the forced takeover
of another.

The reason for all of this, according to the preliminary bits of
information that have leaked out prior to Paulson's announcement, is the
fact that existing regulations on the banks and the markets are just too
confusing and disorganized. According to this logic, it was actually
those naughty regulations that created the current financial collapse in
the first place.

But is the best answer here really to issue an edict granting the
Federal Reserve broader powers? After all, aren't Fed policies really
behind a lot of the problems in the first place? And since the Federal
Reserve is a private corporation, and not an official branch of
government, what are the implications of handing it more authority? Is
that something that can legally be done with a stroke of the president's
pen?

Maybe this is the wrong time to be asking these questions, given the
fact that the current crisis is so big. After all, dire times call for
drastic actions. But the current crisis is eerily reminiscent of the
scenario that created the Federal Reserve in the first place back in
1913, as a response to the panic of 1907. So it's easy to wonder what's
really going on here. Perhaps it's time to reread some of the history
books--I would suggest starting with The Secrets of the Federal Reserve,
by Eustace Mullins.

O'NEILL'S PERSPECTIVES ON THE CURRENT CRISIS
With so much attention being focused on Federal Reserve Chairman Ben
Shalom Bernanke and on current Treasury Secretary Hank Paulson right
now, it was especially interesting to see some comments from former
Treasury Secretary Paul O'Neill find their way into print in the New
York Times. When interviewer Deborah Solomon asked O'Neill how the
subprime mortgage crisis has managed to trigger a financial crisis that
has now reached global proportions, O'Neill replied that "If you have 10
bottles of water, and one bottle had poison in it, and you didn't know
which one, you probably wouldn't drink out of any of the 10 bottles;
that's basically what we've got there."

O'Neill, who assessed his time as Treasury Secretary in the Bush
administration by saying that "I'm thankful I got fired when I did, so
that I didn't have to be associated with what they subsequently did,"
was also especially candid in his comments about Bear Stearns, refusing
to call the actions of the Federal Reserve a bailout.

"I would say they didn't save Bear Stearns," he said. "They saved the
financial system from a panic collapse. I reject the notion that they
helped Bear Stearns. Bear Stearns was destroyed." He added that "the
institution of Bear Stearns has been destroyed. They've gone from $158
to $2 of equity. It's wallpaper. It's not even good wallpaper. It's
butcher paper."

INSURING THE SMELL OF SUCCESS
Ilja Gort, the Dutch owner of Chateau de la Garde in Bordeaux, which
produces Tulipe Wines, says that his nose is truly extraordinary. He
claims that it can distinguish between millions of different scents and
is thus essential to guarantee the quality of his wines.

And so Gort has had his nose insured for 5 million euros, covering it
both for the loss of the nose itself and for the loss of the sense of
smell. Lloyd's of London put together the insurance deal, working with
Allianz Nederland and the British reinsurance broker Benfield to write
the policy, which was co-insured by Watkins Syndicate. According to
Jonathan Thomas, the lead underwriter at Watkins, "The nose and sense of
smell of a winemaker are as important as the fingers of a chef."

Although the policy which Ilja Gort has just purchased is certainly an
unusual one, his is not the first nose to have been insured by Lloyd's.
That honor went to the great Schnozzola, the entertainer Jimmy Durante,
who made his large nose a personal trademark.

NEWSPAPERS REPORT RECORD REVENUE LOSSES
According to a new report from the Newspaper Association of America, the
newspaper industry has experienced its worst drop in advertising revenue
since the organization began tracking the data nearly 60 years ago.

Total print advertising revenue in 2007 plunged 9.4% compared to 2006,
to $42 billion, making last year the worst since 1950. The drop beat the
previous record loss for a year, which was in 2001. Revenues fell 9%
that year.

Newspapers are increasingly turning to online advertising as a revenue
source to help offset the losses in advertising revenues from print media.

THE ECONOMIC CALENDAR
This week we will be watching for the economic news on the National
Association of Purchasing Managers in Chicago, Motor Vehicle Sales,
ICSC-UBS Store Sales, MBA Purchase Applications, Construction Spending,
the ISM Manufacturing Index, the Challenger Job-Cut Report, Factory
Orders, the ADP Employment Report, the EIA Petroleum Status Report, the
EIA Natural Gas Report, the Monster Employment Index, the ISM
Non-Manufacturing Survey, the Employment Situation, Corporate Profits,
Jobless Claims, and the Money Supply.

San Francisco Federal Reserve Bank President Janet Yellen will be in San
Francisco on Monday to talk about foreclosures, and then she will going
to Palo Alto to talk about the U.S. economy at Stanford University. This
week's big news, however, will be coming from Treasury Secretary Hank
Paulson, who will be speaking on Monday morning about giving wider
powers to Federal Reserve, and from Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Shalom
Bernanke, who will be testifying before Congress on Wednesday.

ASTROLOGICAL DYNAMICS
I noted last week that "The Venus/Uranus conjunction and the
Jupiter/Uranus sextile on Friday evening are both sharply positive
indicators, however, so we can look for an upward surge in stock prices
as the week comes to an end, with the planetary influence most likely
carrying over into the start of the following trading week." Those
planetary dynamics on March 28 certainly helped most markets around the
world, but U.S. blue chips were a notable exception. Even so, the
carry-over from these planetary patterns from the end of the last
trading week definitely sets the stage for what is about to unfold in
the week ahead of us.

Right now we have an interesting situation. Almost without exception,
the astrological indicators support the notion of higher stock prices at
this time, yet at the same time the fundamental factors in the economy
as a whole make it quite clear that we are potentially a long way from
the end of the current recession. That economic uncertainty is bleeding
over into the markets as well, especially in the banking and financial
sectors.

While the astrological factors are always at work behind the scenes in
the activity of the markets, they don't operate in a vacuum. The
planetary influences tend to win out over time, but for the short run
they can occasionally be overshadowed by other market and geopolitical
forces, not to mention by the outright attempts to manipulate market
action that we have seen of late, in the interest of averting widespread
financial panic and economic collapse. On balance, then, my expectations
for the immediate future are that the market action will mainly follow
the positive lead suggested by the astrological structure, but with a
lot of tempering from economic realities and gun-shy investors.

Having said that, what are the astrological factors at work? The
Venus/Uranus parallel on Sunday should act as most Venus/Uranus
combinations do--as a trigger for positive price action. That push gets
a little bit of reinforcement on Monday from the Sun/Zeus opposition and
the heliocentric Mercury /Chiron conjunction, which both promote
positive prices in equities, although their impact can be somewhat
choppy for a day or two. That's hardly the case with the heliocentric
Mercury/Mars opposition, however, which is a strong enough factor in and
of itself to drive stock prices higher for the remainder of the week.
Since it comes during the last hour of Monday's trading on the NYSE, I
expect the close that day to be marked by a surprising rally.

We get two eclipse activations during the trading day on Tuesday, and I
expect both of them to have a positive influence on stock prices. The
activation of the solar eclipse from March 2007 is especially
significant, since U.S. equities moved into a fairly sustained rally
after that eclipse occurred. After Tuesday's closing bell we get two
additional rally-supporting factors, the heliocentric Mercury/Neptune
conjunction and the ingress of heliocentric Venus into Pisces.

Wednesday's Pluto retrograde station could prove to be a surprisingly
significant event, and I'm expecting its influence to help move stock
prices up for about ten days. The positive bias picks up some extra
strength from the movement of Mercury into Aries just prior to the
closing bell. There's a void-of-course Moon throughout the trading day
on Wednesday, however, so there's a need for considerable caution if
you're participating in the market action. My personal choice will be to
delay initiating any new trades for that day and just watch things from
the sidelines.

The heliocentric Mars/Uranus quincunx on Thursday morning should
energize the market action considerably, but this may be a day in which
we see some profit-taking and a bit of price consolidation. Thursday
evening's passage of heliocentric Mercury into Pisces is a surprisingly
powerful trigger for higher prices, but since it comes so late in the
evening I don't really expect its influence to be felt until Friday,
which is likely to be an extremely positive day, thanks as well to the
heliocentric Venus/Kronos trine and the 24th harmonic alignment
heliocentrically between Venus and Uranus.

The weekend brings the heliocentric Mercury/Saturn opposition, which may
tend to flatten out the price action for a few days. By the time the
following week's trading gets underway I expect to see this energy
dissipating considerably. A more important factor during the weekend
will be the passage of Venus into Aries on Sunday, which will set the
stage for some very aggressive bullish action at the start of the
trading day on April 7.

Throughout this trading week I will be tracking heliocentric
sixth-harmonic planetary lines (H,60,N,-2) for the Earth, Mercury,
Venus, Mars, Neptune, Pluto, Chiron, Cupido, Hades, Zeus, Apollon, and
Kronos, using the Fibonacci/Galactic Trader software from P.A.S. to
follow the active planetary support and resistance in real time. For

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.

From time to time we are obliged to confront a fundamental question in
our search for fulfillment: are we going to emerge from the limitations
of our old habits and patterns and step forward into a fuller expression
of our divine nature, or will we simply allow ourselves to slip back
into the chaos of selfishness and ego-driven fears? If our personal
pettiness transforms itself into violent discord, we risk losing much of
our progress on the spiritual path.

GLOBAL EQUITIES MARKETS
Unless you happened to be trading U.S. blue chips or Chinese stocks, it

Mumbai led the way with exceptionally strong gains, followed by Pacific
Rim issues and solid advances in European equities.

Dow Jones Industrial Average -- down 1.17%
Dow Jones Transportation Average -- up 0.99%
Dow Jones Utilities Average -- down 0.90%
S+P 500 -- down 1.07%

U.S. EQUITY TRENDS
Although the week showed some clear gains for small-cap issues and tech
stocks, there was enough back-pedaling in the blue chips to convince us
that our cautiousness about equities is still well justified. Even the
gains that were posted for the week weren't enough to flip our overall
bearish assumptions based on our technical trend indicators for U.S.
stocks in all time frames. For the time being we remain cautious about
U.S. issues, but are willing to take advantage of the opportunities that
present themselves in this bear market rally.

The Russell 2000 advanced to close the trading week at 683.18. 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 also moved up, closing the week at 2261.18. Despite
the week's gains 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 down slightly at 1315.22. 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 -- Although we are likely to see Gold begin another downward leg by
mid-April, I'm expecting rising prices for the coming week. Longer term,
we can look for Gold to continue to rally into the summer months, with a
fairly substantial sell-off in late July or early August.

SILVER -- This should also be a positive week for Silver, with prices
rising at least until the New Moon on April 5. By the time the following
week gets underway, however, we may see some fresh weakness in this metal.

STOCKS TO WATCH: ANDE, CCK, BGC, SPN.

The Andersons Inc. (ANDE)
NASDAQ; optionable
First Trade Date: 02/20/1996; 09:30 a.m.
A provider of diversified products and services for agriculture and
transportation, Andersons is headquartered in Maumee, Ohio. This stock's
price dropped by more than 10% during March, and with transiting Saturn
applying to a quincunx with First-Trade Uranus that price consolidation
is likely to continue for at least a few more trading days. Once Saturn
moves, on however, transiting Mars will light up more than a half-dozen
factors in the First-Trade horoscope, culminating with the passage of
transiting Jupiter over the First-Trade Midheaven in mid-month. ANDE
thus looks like a stock to consider for a long position; we plan to add
one after the middle of this trading week, with an initial stop set at
40.50.

Crown Holdings, Inc. (CCK)
NYSE; optionable
First Trade Date: 05/09/1929; 10:00 a.m.
Headquartered in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, Crown Holdings, Inc.
engages in the design, manufacture, and sale of packaging products for
consumer goods. A glance at this stock's First-Trade chart shows that
transiting Saturn is keeping out of the way for the next six or seven
weeks, providing a clear field for Jupiter as it approaches the CCK
First-Trade Descendant. During the next few weeks transiting Jupiter
will also be sesquiquadrate First-Trade Apollon, trine the First-Trade
True Lunar Node, square First-Trade Venus, and trine First-Trade
Jupiter. We thus plan to add a long position in CCK early in the trading
week, with an initial stop set at 22.00.General Cable Corporation (BGC)
NYSE; optionable
First Trade Date: 05/16/1997; 09:30 a.m.
General Cable Corporation provides copper, aluminum, and fiber optic
wire and cable products in North America and internationally. As is the
case with CCK, transiting Jupiter is approaching the BGC First-Trade
Descendant, but the similarity ends there. BGC also has transiting
Saturn sextile First-Trade Poseidon, Mars square First-Trade Saturn, and
Saturn trine First-Trade Mercury. Our plan is thus to sell BGC short
early in the trading week, with an initial buy stop set at 67.00.

Superior Energy Services, Inc. (SPN)
NYSE; optionable
First Trade Date: 05/15/2001; 09:30 a.m.
A provider of oilfield equipment and services, SPN has transiting
Jupiter conjoining its First-Trade Descendant and trine First-Trade
Admetos. Within about 10 days, however, this stock will feel the impact
of transiting Uranus activating the First-Trade Ascendant, First-Trade
Vulcanus, and First-Trade Admetos, while transiting Saturn forms a
quincunx to the First-Trade Midheaven. With a lot of extra supporting
action from transiting Mars, we think SPN will make a good candidate for
a short sale once Jupiter gets out the way. We plan to sell this stock
short near the end of the trading week, with an initial buy stop set at
43.25.
