THE BOTTOM LINE: This is an extremely intense trading week that we are
facing, with a good likelihood of strong volatility and stocks running
up to fresh highs early in the week in spite of negative economic news
and market fundamentals. By the end of the week, however, the stage will
be set for a solid move back to the downside. Whether that will unfold
dramatically before the week is out, or whether it will emerge more
gradually following some sessions of more congested trading near the end
of week, remains to be seen.

COMMENT: The market action last week was not entirely consistent with
the astrological indicators, or at least with my reading of them.
Although the week got off to a negative start just as I had expected,
and although the news from the financials was not particularly positive,
that news was still not quite as bad as it could have been, so the
analysts interpreted the losses as a positive surprise and the markets
obligingly went wild and shot up to new highs on Friday.

There was definitely some strong Uranian energy at work in all of this,
and while the positive pop toward the end of the week's trading caught
me by surprise, it probably shouldn't have. After all, why shouldn't
declining earnings from big banks be great news for the markets? We just
have to put this news into the proper perspective, and then the drama in
stock prices becomes much more understandable. You see, at least those
banks were still around to actually report their earnings, which is more
than we can say about some of the other financial institutions that have
been in the news recently.

All in all, it was a week that brought to mind the words of the ancient
Greek philosopher Heraclitus, who reminded us about 2500 years ago to
"expect the unexpected, or you won't be able to find it!"

MERGER ASTROLOGY
Transits of Neptune and the True Lunar Node are often prominent when
corporate mergers and acquisitions are in the works. That was certainly
the case this past week when the $3 billion merger of Delta Airlines and
Northwest Airlines was announced.

The connections showed up most strongly in the Delta First-Trade
horoscope (04/17/1957; 10:00 a.m.), with transiting Neptune sextile
First-Trade Admetos and quincunx the DAL First-Trade Jupiter/Apollon
conjunction. At the same time, the transiting True Lunar Node was
sextile the DAL First-Trade Sun, trine First-Trade Vulcanus, and in
opposition to First-Trade Pluto. These configurations suggest that in
addition to removing a competitor from the industry mix, the merger is
likely to bring some transformative possibilities--and some big
challenges that may be difficult to overcome--to Delta.

MORE AND MORE MILLIONAIRES
In spite of the challenges presented by the global credit crisis and the
headlong rush toward recession during the past six months, there has
also been an increase in the ranks of the world's wealthy.

According to the 2008 global wealth report just issued by Citi Private
Bank and Knight Frank, 2007 brought a 4.5 percent increase in the number
of "high net worth individuals," defined as those with at least $1
million in investable assets, excluding primary residence. As might be
expected, the report shows the strongest growth in the number of wealthy
individuals in India and China, along with countries like Kazakhstan
with access to natural resources. Riding on the global commodity boom,
Russia, Canada, Australia and Brazil also each added more than 8,500
wealthy residents in 2007.

The United States, however, is still the country with the most high net
worth individuals, which make up about 1 percent of the population.
According to the report, there are currently about 3.1 million
millionaires in the U.S., along with 460 billionaires.

The report also notes that the rate of growth of high net worth
individuals has outpaced both the overall growth in gross domestic
product and the growth in per-capita GDP, suggesting that the rich are
getting richer relative to the average net worth of the population as a
whole.

MARS AND JUPITER IN THE MARKETS
Be sure to take a look at the archived video from my guest appearance
last week on the "Commodity Classics" show. I spoke then with host
Michael Yorba about this Thursday's Mars/Jupiter opposition and its
likely impact on current market trends. You can find the archived video,

THE ECONOMIC CALENDAR
This week we will be watching for the economic news on Existing Homes
Sales, ICSC-UBS Store Sales, MBA Purchase Applications, the State Street
Investor Confidence Index, the EIA Petroleum Status Report, the EIA
Natural Gas Report, Durable Goods Orders, the Help Wanted Index, New
Home Sales, Consumer Sentiment, Jobless Claims, and the Money Supply.

With the Bank of England making some very insistent noises about dumping
more cash into the system in an effort to encourage more borrowing, it
will be a very good time to keep an eye on central bank activity in
general. The only scheduled rate announcement will be by the Bank of
Canada on Tuesday.

ASTROLOGICAL DYNAMICS
The week ahead of us is one of the most powerful weeks the market is
likely to see this year, at least from an astrological perspective.
Several different cycles combine to create a lot of positive potential,
especially during the first part of the week.

Even before the week's trading gets underway, highly energetic planetary
interactions suggest that we will see a powerfully volatile, potentially
explosive week. Sunday's Full Moon offsets a Grand Trine pattern that
ties the Sun, Pluto, and Jupiter together--a positive indicator
especially strengthened by the waxing Sun/Pluto dynamic in the
configuration. And on top of that, Sunday night brings the entry of
heliocentric Venus into Aries, which is one of the most powerful and
consistent planetary indicators of rising stock prices, triggering
strong upward moves about 75 percent of the time it occurs.

While this positive energy should carry over into the first couple of
trading days in the week, the fact that Pluto is involved means that we
are dealing with some very strong dynamics that can easily transform
themselves into a negative market spin, especially in the fact of weak
market fundamentals or stressful revelations in the news. The entry of
heliocentric Mercury into Gemini on Monday evening supports the positive
bias to the action in blue chips, but if prices advance that day the
gains may be stressful.

Tuesday brings a Mars/Uranus trine that carries a slightly negative
bias, but is more likely to produce a tendency toward choppy and
congested trading. This is especially true since there's a
void-of-course Moon throughout the trading day on Tuesday, making it a
good time to step aside from active trading and watch from the sidelines
as the market trends unfold.

Wednesday brings some more positive indicators in the form of a waning
Venus/Mars square and a waxing Venus/Jupiter square. Both of these
planetary aspects come late in the day, however, so their influence is
likely to spill over into Thursday morning's action as well. And it's on
Thursday that the really big astrological event of the week occurs--a
geocentric opposition of Mars and Jupiter. The last couple of times this
has happened the blue chips have risen nicely prior to the event, and
then pulled back afterwards.

Friday is likely to see a return to choppy, indecisive market energy,
especially because the weekend astrological environment suggests
congested trading--Saturday's heliocentric Mercury/Hades conjunction and
geocentric Venus/Apollon opposition both trend to bring choppy trading
with a slight positive bias, and a long void-of-course Moon on Sunday
makes matters even more indecisive.

In short, this looks like a week with powerful potential for a strong
market trend to emerge, with a generally positive bias during the
initial trading sessions giving way to some congestion as the market
gathers its energies for a big move to come.

Throughout this trading week I will be tracking geocentric
fourth-harmonic planetary lines (G,90,N,-2) for the Mercury, Venus,
Mars, Jupiter, Vulcanus, 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 astro-trading
software as an analysis and trading platform go to

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.

There are especially sacred times when we have peak experiences, when
the divine power of the Universe makes itself known in exciting and
remarkable ways. While these mountain-top events are energizing, they
leave us with a question: what do we do next? If we allow ourselves to
get swallowed up in the limited paradigms and petty thinking that
surrounds us, we will miss an opportunity to compound the power of
Spirit by articulating higher aspirations and clearer ideals.

"Most people never run far enough on their first wind to find out
they've got a second." --William James

GLOBAL EQUITIES MARKETS
Markets around the world put in a sharply positive performance as the
week drew to a close, with higher prices generally accompanied by higher
trading volume. Amsterdam and Mumbai showed some of the greatest
strength, while the week's results were decidedly negative in Hong Kong
and Shanghai, with Australian issues ending the week flat.

Dow Jones Industrial Average -- up 4.25%
Dow Jones Transportation Average -- up 5.95%
Dow Jones Utilities Average -- up 3.16%
S+P 500 -- up 4.31%

U.S. EQUITY TRENDS
Even though U.S. stocks put in a very strong showing at the end of the
trading week, the strength they exhibited wasn't enough to change any of
our technical trend assumptions. We remain cautious in the markets at
this time, waiting for further strength to confirm a bullish stance. In
the meantime, the U.S. equity markets look like ripe candidates for
short sales.

The Russell 2000 advanced nicely to close the trading week at 721.07.
The Russell remains on a January 4 short-term sell signal, with a daily
close above 799 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 saw some big price swings, but closed the week in
positive territory at 2402.97. The NASDAQ is 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 1390.33. 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 -- As I noted last week, the bias for Gold remains to the downside
at least until the Mars/Jupiter opposition on April 24, which could
prove to be an excellent time to cover short positions. Although the
possibility remains for Gold to move back up in late April and the first
few days of May, the cycle analysis for the next few trading sessions
suggests the likelihood of a fairly sharp pullback right now. We won't
see real bearishness in this market unless we get a couple of
consecutive closes below 850, but a retracement now could lay the
foundation for a very aggressive move upward after Jupiter goes
retrograde on May 9, with a rally in Gold quite possibly running well
into the summer months.

SILVER -- With Silver backing off a bit toward the end of the most
recent trading week, I think we are ready for a fairly strong move back
to the upside, although the rally may be fairly short-lived. The first
positive sign I'll be looking for will be a daily close back above the
10-day moving average, which is likely to come early in the week ahead
of us. This is still a very volatile market, however, so long-side
positions will need to be watched quite carefully, since a reversal back
to the downside could unfold quite rapidly, especially if we don't see
Silver trading back above 19.50 in the meantime.

STOCKS TO WATCH: ANDE, TROW.

The Andersons, Inc. (ANDE)
NASDAQ; optionable
First Trade Date: 02/20/1996; 09:30 a.m.
The stock for this agricultural transportation company is currently
trading about 10 percent below its February highs, which is especially
interesting since transiting Jupiter has recently crossed the ANDE
First-Trade Midheaven. Ordinarily we might look at this configuration as
a hint that the stock has short side potential, but in this case we have
transiting Saturn in opposition to the First-Trade Sun, so there's an
astrological reason for the price pull-back. As Saturn returns to direct
motion and pulls away from that opposition during the coming weeks,
there will be a weakening of its restrictive influence, and at the same
time transiting Uranus will be semisquare First-Trade Mercury,
energizing some fresh interest in this stock. The final kicker comes as
Jupiter goes retrograde and makes another pass over the ANDE First-Trade
Midheaven in the absence of any Saturn constraints, a dynamic which is
likely to push this stock back into more positive territory. Our plan is
thus to add a long position in ANDE at 42.50 or better when we can get
it at that price during the next couple of trading weeks; our initial
stop will be set at 40.00.

T. Rowe Price Group, Inc. (TROW)
NASDAQ; optionable
First Trade Date: 04/02/1986; 09:30 a.m.
The transiting transneptunian factors are having a field day with the
TROW First-Trade horoscope, making this investment manager worth a
little special attention, along with fresh consideration for a place in
the Financial Cycles Model Portfolio. Transiting Kronos is in opposition
to First-Trade Mars, transiting Vulcanus is sesquiquadrate First-Trade
Saturn, transiting Poseidon is semisquare First-Trade Zeus, and
transiting Hades is conjoining the First-Trade Ascendant. That's a lot
to reckon with, especially with transiting Saturn getting ready to make
a direct station in conjunction with the TROW First-Trade IC. And yet
that's only part of the story. We also have transiting Apollon
sesquiquadrate First-Trade Jupiter and transiting Cupido sesquiquadrate
the First-Trade conjunction of Venus and the True Lunar Node, along with
transiting Jupiter getting ready to make a station as it conjoins the
TROW First-Trade Moon. There's plenty of cause for caution here, but on
balance it looks like the positive energies will prevail and we have a
good possibility of a breakout carrying TROW past the resistance it has
encountered during the past few months. If we get a daily close in this
stock above 56.00 we will be ready to enter a long position, but if we
do so we will set our initial stop at 53.75 and then trail it
aggressively if the trade advances in our favor.
