Opinions on the US stock market plunge which began Feb 5 are variable - including computer-programed trading, concerns about a coming rise in inflation and interest rates and maybe even the Federal Reserve sell-off of assets.
The Guardian calls it a "mood swing" and even a "fat finger" mistake..as well as...
It is puzzling to analysts that the money coming out of the markets is not necessarily going into government treasuries or other safe havens. That suggests investors are also simply taking out profit after an intense market rally at the beginning of this year.
Curiouser and curiouser is the situation with analysts proposing a handful of reasons and no one really sure which led the charge.
Here's another take on it:
The amount of Chinese money fuelling the global economy has to be factored in.
Chinese are strong believers in predictions regarding the good luck/bad luck cycles.
On February 4 2018 the start of Spring occurred in China.
This denotes the new annual cycle
2018 is the Year of the Dog.
2018 in the cycle of elements is an Earth year
Dog is an Earth element energy.
This makes 2018 a "double earth" year.
Double always indicates some kind of double trouble - some people and some aspects of life have a tougher year than usual.
The earth element is associated the planet Saturn which also indicates positive and negative outcomes.
Stock markets and economies are seen by the Chinese to have an energy like water, the undulating waves.
The earth element is regarded as a negative for the stock market and in economic matters.
Double earth means significant difficulty.
Strong earth energy sucks up water in this battle of the elements..meaning less liquidity, drying up [also drought]
So 2018 under Chinese astrological indicators for economic matters has an energy of conserving, saving, fiscal restraint - not rampant spending, not risk-taking. [ this is consistent with the indicators in Western astrology under Saturn and Pluto in Capricorn and Uranus in Taurus.
Did Chinese New Year panic play a role?
2018 is also forecast to be tough for Donald Trump as being born in the Year of the Dog with lots of fire and earth energy. When more earth energy occurs as in a double earth year, Trump is left even more unbalanced as excess of an element is always detrimental. October is when the extent of his difficulties peak according to
Woody Chan's outlook for 2018.
China sees itself as the centre of the world and with a difficult outlook foreseen in the East direction [from China] this could indicate political & socio-economic conditions deteriorating in the US in the year from Feb 2018.
The total lunar eclipse of Jan 31/Feb 1 remains in play until August so the stock market issues have also been activated under the complex array of conditions involving the range of planets in tight angular connection to that eclipse.
With current factors in effect and knowing what factors are unfolding in the short term next few years it would seem more likely than not that market "corrections" will not be unusual and could tend towards significant as our relationship with money and materialism continues to be altered.
Financial astrology is another specialist field and not the one known best to the author.
One such specialist Ray Merriman considers this period the start of The Great Reset -and whatever factors he is using for that conclusion...the writing is generally on the wall as we all collectively head towards the end of a 200 year socio-economic age which officially ends just before the close of December 2020 allowing the new 200+ year cycle to be in place as 2020 concludes.
For some years we have been in the transition period -where two contrasting idealogies run alongside each other..so the new is in fact already identifiable as more and more virtual and digital artefacts replace the solidly physical...as people begin to declutter and have a smaller terrestrial footprint..these are everyday examples of a massive conceptual shift [one the world of fine arts embraced decades ago]..this is the shift from earth-focussed [physical, material] energy to dematerialised, miniaturised, conceptualised, digitised air energy - which will create a very differently lived lifestyle in the many decades until the new transition period arises from 2160, heading towards the water cycle fully embedded by 2219 - another long cycle -this time bearing the themes of our shared humanity..our connection to the breadth of existence. It seems a long way to go to reach home.
