Earth Wind & Fire rock markets
Week beginning October 6, 2014
Like all good fireworks spectaculars, the cosmic energy explosion should hit a stunning climax this coming week.

But wait ... there's more! The Sun and Venus are in Libra, squaring Pluto and opposing Uranus ... that long-running Uranus/Pluto square which we've discussed many times as the rebel forces going to war with the plutocrats determined to maintain control at any cost.
Libra is Cardinal Air ... it's the Wind, now fanning all that Fire energy into an global wildfire. Pluto is in Capricorn, the Cardinal Earth sign. "I have the power and no-one will take it from me!"
And on top of all that, Mercury has just gone Retrograde and will stay that way for most of October. Nothing anyone says should be believed or trusted ... because what they think they know is likely to be only part of the story.
The trigger is likely to be the lunar eclipse Full Moon in Aries happening on Wednesday.
It's conjunct Uranus, currently being trined by Mars in Sagittarius and Jupiter in Leo. That's already a lot of Fire sign energy and it's about to get a boost from the lunar eclipse Full Moon.

As an astrology buff, it is fascinating watching all this unfold ... just in the past week alone. Student protestors take to the streets of Hong Kong, shutting down the government quarter. They're well-behaved, sitting down to do their homework when not manning the barricades, and putting up signs apologising for the inconvenience they're causing.
It is a beautiful mix of Uranus in Aries demanding social change, balanced by the good manners of the Sun and Venus in sociable Libra.
Of course, the plutocrats in control have no intention of giving up any of their power. Along come the triad gangs to provoke a bit of violence and instill some fear into the demonstrators. Pluto, in his natural underhanded scheming guise, working secretly to maintain the status quo that Capricorn is always obsessed with preserving.
But, there's an even bigger picture to all of this. Who stirred up the students? Do we think it just might have been those same secretive agents who stirred up trouble in Kiev? Is it coincidence that both Russia and China find themselves under "popular" protest right at the time they're making long-range smoochies with each other to thwart the political/economic power of the nation which considers itself the world's top cop?
Meanwhile, the top cop has put together a posse of sheriffs and deputies to unleash "firepower" ... Fire. Power. ... on the nutbags running around the desert displaying the very worst symbolism of Uranus in Aries, a combination of Fixed Air, where nothing new and useful enters the brain, and Cardinal Fire, which is armed aggression.
Astrology also tells us how this is all going to end, by the way.
But, but ... we did expect all these cosmic games to have a volatile impact on stock markets over these few weeks and a couple of weekends ago I published a series of charts for the exact price targets to watch on various world indices.
So, enough with the mystical mumbojumbo for the moment and let's have a little look.
First up is the SP500 which slipped out of Pollyanna mode into Chicken Little mode ... and made it down to the first Trine Target.
Toronto, too!
London's FTSE crashed through the previous week's boundary and broke another two before bouncing.
We discussed the FTSE's technical condition a few weeks back and noted a horizontal price consolidation happening with a weakening Big Bird oscillator. Not looking good for new Highs.
Pollyanna's primary planet prices are still in play ...
And the ASX200 continues to play with its Weekly Planet prices ...
Odd, non? Nevermind. The Old Gods have been around for a long time and humans have been studying them for thousands of years. See a sabre-tooth, run away, sit around staring at the night sky.
Anyway, this Uranus-Pluto square thing we've been waffling on about for the past few years still has longer to run. The last "hit" doesn't occur until next year and, even then, the whole period ... in terms of "history" ... is usually only the start of a large-scale socio-economic upheaval.
Right now, we can't be certain who will "win". But, we do know who will NOT win. And all of you readers living between the Rio Grande and the Lakes might want to stop reading right now.
The fast-greying current temporary resident of that antebellum mansion at 1600 is destined to become one of the last emperors. This conflagration we're seeing unfold is the beginning of The End Times.
Like all empires, it doesn't want to die. But, the simple fact of astrological life is that Progressed Mars in the USA's birth chart turned Retrograde in 2006.
Symbolically, the USA's personal God of War no longer supports its outward ambitions. When it ends, we don't really know. Certainly, it will drag on for as long as Pluto remains in Capricorn.
How it ends is easier to see. It ends with a desperate last helicopter fleeing the roof of the US Embassy as opposition tanks crash through the gates ... it ends with Marines pushing helicopters and fighter jets overboard from the decks of the carriers as the ships turn back to the safety of the homeland.
And it's not that far away. And this time, it's global.
