THE BOTTOM LINE: The trading week is likely to get off to a very
positive start, but dissipating volatility and mixed signals in the
markets are likely to bring some congestion and confusion as the week
progresses. Look for net gains in equities by week's end, but with a lot
less energy behind the positive push than has recently been in evidence.

COMMENT: When I wrote last week that 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," I hit the nail on the head. In
response to the eclipse activations, and on the eve of the powerful
Pluto station, stocks put in a breath-taking day of price advances.
While there were certainly fundamental reasons that contributed to the
trading enthusiasm, the event was a reminder of how much of an edge we
can get from adding astrology to our market analysis.

NEW ADVANCES IN THE FIELD
The field of financial astrology is always exciting because there is
always new research, more innovation, and exciting new tools to work
with. This spring is proving to be no exception. Sergey Tarasov of
Timing Solution in Toronto has recently announced the release of a new
advanced version of his market analysis software; it's already an
extremely powerful program that features many cutting-edge mathematical
techniques as well as tools for assessing planetary phenomena. I'll be
sharing a review of this new product once I've had an opportunity to
explore all the features included in this new version.

Meanwhile, word comes from Bill Meridian in Vienna, Austria that he has
recently completed a revision of his landmark book "Planetary Economic
Forecasting." It's being prepared for the printers, and should be
available within the next couple of months. Bill says the new edition
"includes more financial history, a 200-year study of rates, and a
750-year study of inflation rates," and "The original study of business
activity has been updated." I'll share more news of this publication as
it becomes available.

LOST WITHOUT A ROAD MAP
According to a poll released last week by CBS and the New York Times,
more Americans now believe that the country is headed in the wrong
direction than at any time since the early 1990s. 81% of those polled
now say that the U.S. is on the wrong track, compared to 69% a year ago
and 35% in the spring of 2002. What's behind the shift in opinion and
the apparent lack of direction? The transit of Neptune through Aquarius
may be at work here; it entered that sign in 1998, and will be hanging
out there until 2011.

STORIES BEHIND THE STATISTICS
Unemployment has hit levels not seen in five years, and seems to be
repeating the patterns that occurred at the start of the last recession
in early 2001, and the number of people receiving food stamps has hit a
new high. The credit crisis and the economic downturn both continue to
widen. Housing prices have yet to hit bottom, and bigger real estate
losses are undoubtedly on the way. But behind all these numbers there
are lots of individual stories that illustrate the real impact of
economic stress.

The fact is, tough economic times make for desperate people--and for
some highly unusual crimes. On Friday afternoon in Palo Alto,
California, for example, a man in his 60s with long gray hair and a
beard, armed with a black handgun, robbed the Wachovia Bank branch at
the Stanford Shopping Center, and then escaped from the scene in a
motorized wheelchair. He was last seen as his wheelchair buzzed down a
nearby street headed for El Camino Real, with both of his legs wrapped
in bandages.

Then in Orange County, Florida, the need to economize in the kitchen
provoked a violent incident on Saturday when a woman there stabbed her
husband after a fight broke out between them as she tried to serve him
hot dogs for dinner. According to authorities, during the argument Anton
Van Bladel grabbed the plate of hot dogs out his wife Alfreda's hands,
and at that point she stabbed him the shoulder with a steak knife. Van
Bladel then pointed a handgun at his wife's head and threatened to kill
her before sheriff's deputies arrested them both and charged them with
aggravated battery and aggravated assault.

Meanwhile, in Hillsborough County, Florida, Philana Skeens, 37, and her
son Timothy, 16, were arrested for felony burglary after they were
caught stealing $150 worth of frozen food from the First Free Will
Baptist Church on U.S. Highway 92. And in Ardmore, Oklahoma, 34-year-old
Jody Wayne Guinn was held at the Carter County Detention Center after
being charged with embezzlement and disposing of stolen property. His
arrest came after employees arrived at a local Pizza Hut on Thursday to
discover all the restaurant's aluminum pizza pans missing. As the
pizzeria's workers brought pans from home to prepare the day's food,
police checked out a local scrap metal shop. According to Police Captain
Tony Trudell, the business had just paid about $17 to purchase 30
aluminum pans, which were recovered and returned to the Pizza Hut.

TUNE IN ON THURSDAY
Once again, I'll be featured as a guest on the "Commodity Classics" show
this Thursday, April 10, at 4:30 p.m. Eastern (3:30 Central) at
www.Yorba.tv to talk with host Michael Yorba about the astrology behind
current market trends. You can also view streaming videos of some of my

FIREWORKS FORECAST IN THE NEW ECLIPSE REPORT
On Tuesday evening, after the explosive run-up in stock prices, I was
re-reading my comments on page 18 of my latest monograph, "The Solar
Eclipse of February, 2008: Its Impact on the Markets." I had written
there about the Lunar Return to the Solar Eclipse which was set to take
place last Tuesday, April 1. I had noted in the monograph that the
configuration for that day was "an extremely active horoscope" which
"indicates major fireworks in the markets! There's a lot of emotional
energy at work, with imagination-driven risk taking" driving stock
prices up.

While it was good to see how accurate this forecast was, the experience
was also a reminder of how truly useful this monograph still is, even
though the eclipse itself took place two months ago. You can get a copy
of "The Solar Eclipse of February, 2008: Its Impact on the Markets"
right now available at a reduced price. When you order now, you'll save
over 90% from the original publication price--and you'll get your copy
right away as a downloadable pdf file, so you can read it immediately!

This report is loaded with highly valuable information that you can put
to work in understanding upcoming market trends and profiting from
special situations connected with the eclipse. It's 51 pages long and
has dozens of charts and illustrations, plus details on specific stock
picks that offer special trading opportunities following the eclipse.

THE ECONOMIC CALENDAR
This week we will be watching for the economic news on Consumer Credit,
Pending Home Sales, Wholesale Trade, ICSC-UBS Store Sales, MBA Purchase
Applications, Chain Store Sales, International Trade, the EIA Petroleum
Status Report, the EIA Natural Gas Report, the RBC CASH Index, Import
and Export Prices, Consumer Sentiment, Jobless Claims, and the Money
Supply.

Monday will bring the dedication of the new Federal Reserve Bank branch
building in Seattle, with San Francisco Federal Reserve Bank President
Janet Yellen introducing Federal Reserve Vice Chairman Donald Kohn at
the event. On Tuesday the Fed will release the minutes of its March
meeting. On Wednesday the Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas will be hosting
a community luncheon in San Antonio, Texas, with Dallas Federal Reserve
Bank President Richard Fisher talking to the crowd. On Thursday there
will be interest rate announcements from the European Central Bank and
the Bank of England.

ASTROLOGICAL DYNAMICS
In sharp contrast to the explosive astrological dynamics week, the
celestial activity right now is a good bit calmer. Even so, the factors
at work will have an impact on the trading environment that's definitely
worth paying attention to.

The stage gets set for the week's trading activity with a waxing
Venus/Pluto square on Sunday evening. That astrological event has
brought the S+P up fairly dramatically about 71% of the time during the
past few decades, and I expect the positive energy to get an extra boost
this time because of the aspect's proximity to the Pluto station. So the
overall tone for the trading week is a bullish one, with an especially
strong likelihood for a positive opening to the week during Monday's
trading.

Having said that, we need to approach the remainder of the week with
considerable caution. On Tuesday the Vulcanus direct station produces a
positive, but very volatile, market bias, while the waning heliocentric
sextile between Venus and Jupiter brings a somewhat more sedate positive
influence. Along with some modest positive support from the heliocentric
Mercury/Uranus conjunction and a very strong boost from the Mercury/Zeus
opposition, this should produce an up day for stocks, but there's a big
caveat here: a void-of-course Moon kicks in less than two hours after
Tuesday's opening bell, and stays in effect for the remainder of the
trading day. This is not the time to trust the market signals, and it
will be especially important not to get carried away if the Street looks
ready to move into rally mode.

In any event, Wednesday will be a day for sobering up, with a waxing
Sun/Chiron sextile that is likely to bring prices down somewhat. This is
a fairly weak configuration, but I expect the residual effects of the
Venus/Pluto square earlier in the week to be dissipating enough that the
Sun/Chiron influence will make a noticeable difference in the market
temperament.

Thursday is a difficult day to call, thanks to the waxing Sun/Jupiter
square (signaling choppy market action with a positive bias) and the
waning Mercury/Mars square (a very weak but steady positive influence)
competing with the heliocentric Mars/Neptune opposition (a sharp move
down into the close of the week) and the heliocentric ingress of Mercury
into Aries (also a negative influence for stock prices). The outcome is
anybody's guess, and it will definitely be a guess, too, since we will
once again get a void-of-course Moon making an appearance in the middle
of the trading day and then sticking around until well after the closing
bell.

The most notable dynamic on Friday is likely to be a reduction in
volatility during a trading day that brings a slight positive bias laced
with plenty of uncertainty. Overall I expect the week to wind up on the
plus side, but the general tone for the week seems to be one of forced
optimism while we are waiting for the other shoe to drop.

Throughout this trading week I will be tracking heliocentric
fifth-harmonic planetary lines (H,72,N,-2) for the Earth, Mercury,
Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Pluto, Apollon, Admetos, 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

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.

And so we must renew ourselves, we must begin again. In our willingness
to start anew in our spiritual work and in our pursuit of material goals
alike, we have an opportunity to return to innocence, to rise above
emotional turbulence and claim our birthright of enlightenment and
gratitude. If we accept our failures and mistakes as positive steps
toward our ultimate spiritual goals, we are likely to discover that we
have actually gained far more than we thought we lost.

U.S. EQUITY TRENDS
With U.S. stock prices posting some solid gains for the week, it's very
tempting to start looking for more bullish signals. Even so, the current
trading levels don't justify a change in trend assumptions. In other
words, what we have going on here is a bear market rally, and a great
deal of caution is needed with any positions to the long side.

The Russell 2000 advanced to close the trading week at 713.73. 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 2370.98. 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 at 1370.40. 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 -- While we may see an attempt at a rally in Gold getting underway
late in this trading week, the bias for this metal is to the downside
until early May. Longer-term investors may want to hold current
positions in this environment, with traders who are willing to embrace
some risk looking at short positions. Once Jupiter goes retrograde in
May, I'm looking for a healthy rally in Gold that will run through most
of the summer months.

SILVER -- Silver's performance should parallel that of Gold fairly
closely during the coming weeks. I expect any attempt at a rally right
now to hit significant resistance in the 18.55-19.20 range, with another
leg down to follow. The big difference between Silver and Gold is that
the Silver market is likely to turn back to the upside a little bit
earlier than Gold as we approach the end of April and the beginning of May.

STOCKS TO WATCH: OI, TMO.

Owens-Illinois, Inc. (OI)
NYSE; optionable
First Trade Date: 12/11/1991; 09:30 a.m.
Founded in 1903 and headquartered in Perrysburg, Ohio, Owens-Illinois
manufactures and sells glass containers in North and South America, Asia
Pacific, and Europe. Jupiter will be crossing the OI First-Trade
Ascendant in about 10 days, and we can expect the price of the stock to
get some favorable treatment as we move into that event, with a top
coming shortly thereafter. Along the way, transiting Mars will be
activating a number of points in the OI First-Trade horoscope, with a
sextile to First-Trade Jupiter, a sextile to First-Trade Admetos, an
opposition to First-Trade Neptune, a trine to the First-Trade Midheaven,
a square to First-Trade Apollon, and a conjunction with First-Trade
Vulcanus. At the same time, transiting Vulcanus is sesquiquadrate
First-Trade Mars and transiting Kronos is sesquiquadrate the First-Trade
Moon. That's enough action to suggest that OI is a good candidate for a
short-term long position; we will add one to the Model Portfolio around
the middle of the trading week, with an initial stop set at 55.00.

Thermo Fisher Scientific, Inc. (TMO)
NYSE; optionable
First Trade Date: 08/27/1980; 10:00 a.m.
A provider of scientific and analytical instruments and related
services, Thermo Fisher Scientific was formerly known as Thermo Electron
Corporation and was founded in 1956. The price of this stock hit a peak
early last week just as transiting Jupiter was crossing the TMO
First-Trade IC; it has pulled back about 2% since then. As the current
trading week gets underway, however, transiting Chiron goes to work on
the First-Trade chart, with a sextile to First-Trade Neptune and a trine
to First-Trade Pluto just as transiting Uranus forms a trine to the
First-Trade Midheaven. This suggests that a price pull-back for this
stock right now may be a good buying opportunity, especially with
transiting Mars moving in at the end of the week to form a sextile with
First-Trade Jupiter before aspecting First-Trade Chiron, First-Trade
Zeus, and First-Trade Venus early the following week. We thus plan to
enter a long position in TMO this week, with an initial stop set at 55.25.
