Your Moon Phase Mission: engaging your contribution to the collective

Moon Phases are Solar-driven opportunities

 to contribute to the whole of life. 

By identifying your lunar mission

 you can work with every New Moon

to strengthen that level of engagement

Renowned astrological figure Dane Rudhyar  (1895-1985 ) had a lot to say about phases of the Moon as a signifier of inherent potentials to live a meaningful life

Rudhyar considered that we are stamped at birth with the energy of the solar-lunar phase. He placed more emphasis on this than zodiac signs.

Though as explained the Moon alone has no independent phase - it is a phase relationship with the Sun.

From reading Rudhyar the significance of his insights can be expanded into the territory of spiritual meaning underlying these two major cosmic influences.

On that basis an extended context of interpretation and explanation has been added here in some respects to his fundamental work.

The Sun is King in our little cosmic zone and the Moon is responding in service to the impulses dispatched by the Sun. 

It is a Yin Yang dynamic interplay because the contributions enabled by the activity of the Moon are fed back into the collective realm of consciousness that the Sun can be seen to orchestrate. Therefore a feedback loop is in effect.

Rudyhar says the solar energy is being released into and through the Moon as a new life impulse.

The Moon itself has no true phases so it is a term of convenience. The Moon is a reflector of light and the light reflection shape and quality varies through the lunar month. The change in light reflection is 100% relevant to the type of solar impulse carried.

With there being 8 lunation types - related to the illumination state of the Moon varying from New Moon to New Moon.

New Moon

Waxing crescent

First Quarter

Gibbous

Full Moon

Disseminating

Last quarter

Waning Crescent

Each of us responds to a particular lunation type -and at each New Moon we have our distinct way of responding to the the type of life impulse generated by the Sun at New Moon.

Each period lasts around 3.5 days.

Because of the pulling power when the sun and moon align it is resonable to expect that someone born within around a day before New or Full Moon will manifest the impulse related to that period -so the boundary line in those contexts is likely to be more fluid than 100% fixed - example: a person in the last day of the waning crescent could show New Moon qualities in addition to those for the waning crescent

The sign energy at New Moon provides factors relevant to a natal chart [where and how]  the solar impulse wants to express. The timing of that expression may peak in the person’s natal moon phase period - but the qualities identified for the moon phase are likely to be engaged as the Moon strengthens -from the window opening 3 days before exact New Moon. Then the following polarity [Full Moon] energy is likely to integrate impulses developed at and during the New to Full moon period.

We each have a Lunation Birthday worth noting withing the period of around 3-4 days - when our birth phase repeats during each lunar month - and this can be calculated more precisely to match how many degrees of separation existed from the prior New Moon before the Solar birthday.

In this context of the solar-lunar dynamic the Moon is in charge of managing everyday world functioning in our physical material dimension.

On that basis the Moon is a regulator of tidal forces that permeate the physical and electrical/energetic/ethereal bodies affecting all of our ins and outs ups and downs in mental emotional hormonal nutritional overal body-chemical environments as well as the chakras and spiritual layers.

The lunar body is intended to serve the solar purpose.

The solar purpose is collective evolutionary and based on spiritual consciousness regarding our common source: our inherent connections to all beings, all of life.

The Moon functions to enable greater awareness of that underlying dimension of reality and therefore to behave and engage with the whole of life -people animals nature knowing we are connected. 

Each lunar type is therefore given a programme to follow to contribute to the Whole.

Some examples: 

New Moon: Queen Victoria of England

Waxing Gibbous: Joe Biden Hillary Clinton Queen Elizabeth Prince Charles

Full Moon: Donald Trump

Disseminating/Waning Gibbous: Diana (Princess) Hitler

Waning Crescent: Oprah Obama Elisabeth Kubler-Ross

Waxing Crescent Lukashenko

(more may be added where found based on high quality data)

The phase types from New to Full Moon are primarily around the motivators of personal behaviour.

At Full Moon the results of that behaviour are ready for assessment - have the results been fruitful or detrimental?

Full Moon qualities begin to emerge at the Gibbous period which activates outreach which Full Moon expands even further into relationship building (or termination if appropriate)

The Full to New Moon range is much more strongly involved in behaviours that impact the larger collective.

The sequence from Full Moon based on Rudhyar's ideas is :

relationships, then the spreading of ideas, the building and structuring of societal networks and systems and the elements of service to groups.

Eclipses serve to place stronger exclamation marks around your personal contribution:what you can do and how.

There is much material online and in hard copy from Rudhyar. Hopefully this interpretation and expansion of his contribution can illuminate for readers a deeper level dynamic we can easily overlook.

Every New Moon we can look at the personalised impact of the sign and house placement in our chart -but we can utilise this knowledge on a deeper level to  know what our phase energy is and how our behaviour in the world can bring a contribution to the whole.

What A Full Moon Means for Relationships

 

The Full Moon is an outcome of stages of growth that emerge from the New Moon.

The Sun and Moon are in a relationship - a cosmic dance. 

At the New Moon they are together unified blended One.

At the Full Moon they experience the effects of taking space separation or distance upon that relationship. 

It is the Moon moving away from the Sun

The Inner reality and Feeling state are given sanctuary behind Earth in order to be uncovered without the obscurations or domination exuded by the Sun

A different perspective is on offer: still connected but with clearly different identities.

This solar-Lunar cycle has implications for how we as humans manage our close relating contexts.

First it is worthwhile to look at the two key elements in the cycle.

We understand the New energy as a beginning and the Full energy as a completion but it is useful to explore the integration of these two energies - and not see them as distinct or separate.

As astrologers we are dealing with an inherently wholistic cosmic environment in which humans are embraced. Any non-wholistic approach is inherently flawed and incomplete. The Phases of the Moon - in particular the 2 major phases discussed here provide an insight into the relationship between these two luminaries as well as the implications for our human interactions.

As with all astrological factors a range of keywords is essential to provide a variety of refinements and potentials that are on offer for different people at different stages of growth or development - and in respect of different contexts.

                 May 26 2021 Full Mooon Supermoon 5'26 Sagittarius

                          around 5 hrs before exact in New Zealand

New Moon keyword-phrases:

Beginning. Conceiving & setting intentions. Preparation. Initiating focussed goal-oriented actions, gradual supportive development.

Full Moon Keyword-phrases:

Conclusion. Ending, settlement, agreement, termination, the end result, the product or outcome, the harvest, resolution, finish, completion.

The Full Moon potentials clearly resonate in the context of how we relate -  how we function in close human to human dynamics - whether privately or in professional roles and what dynamics accumulate over time between people. 

Where does the balance lie? How strong is the imbalance?

Considering input, contributions, power sharing. 

Is the issue control? Or emotional contribution or labour sharing or the communication channel? Is it time? or distance? or space?

Too much? Too little?

Honesty? Integrity? Greed? Selfishness? Too independent? Too clingy?

The list is long. This is an introduction. A worthwhile starting point checklist to clarify the State of the Relationship with X.

Don’t feel too disheartened. Imbalance is the inherent factor in relationships. You just need to identify name and discuss it and work on it if you want a happier result of being in a close dynamic.

The life span of a relationship or partnership varies so it is totally realistic to accept endings as well as to to apply rescuscitation.

This identification of what Full Moons are basically about for humans reflects back on the keywords and phrases that get activated by the Solar-Lunar standoff when in opposition phase.

With clarity already arising at the New Moon phase regarding Self in relationship to Other the Full Moon is primed to work in ways that offer an end product - that end product could be the establishment of the relationship on a stronger footing - or the end product of being resolved to terminate the relationship.

Processes at the waxing crescents and first Quarter Moon are critical in determining the nature of the end product.

If there is no growth, if the interim phases introduce further dis-ease or dysfunctional qualities into the relationship the harvest will be a rotten apple.

Conversely if there is supportive work done to regenerate the relationship - protect and nurture it  -the end product at Full Moon is a more fruitful harvest.

Not only is a dynamic that is set to pass away likely to decline at the Full Moon phase - the Full moon also carries the seed of the renewal or replacement energy - born from that death.

The energy is able to be transmuted into the antidote cure or new hope - if the old outlived energy that was implicated in the failed dynamic is recognised and released consciously.

So when the Full Moon delivers the ending of an unhealthy relating dynamic the only pathway to growth is to harvest awareness from that event -awareness that there is an end product to carry onwards into future relating - it is the recognition of being energetically released from a pattern of relating that has no further place in your life. It’s like carrying an emotional antidote or vaccine.

But it has to be done with full consciousness or the opportunity for protection is missed.

The old relating energy has to die and be recognised as dead before there is space and an energetic capacity for the new to manifest.

A full moon that is also in position to enable a lunar eclipse [ the proximity of the lunar nodes is relevant ] is at its strongest when closest to the nodes and when a Total Eclipse.

Connections to that event in time can arise weeks before as well as months after the official exact event. 

Look for other planets pre-activating - especially if there is a link between the issues set to arise from the eclipse and a relevant planet such as Venus or something in Libra reaching the eclipse degree some weeks earlier.

Effects afterwards - in the wake of the elipse are similarly able to be triggered by planets angled to the eclipses degree in the period up to the next eclipse season

Supermoon :Travel alert for December..

Multiple indicators of extreme environmental events and extreme weather have begun to accumulate since November 4th Full Moon and then continuing to show prominence at the November 18 New Moon, then the December 3 Full Moon

latest: landslides in Philippines; numerous road transport deaths; Bus crash India; Pedestrians mowed down in Melbourne; ferry sinks in Manila; Seattle train crash at New Moon
scroll to end for updates

November 4 set the scene for extreme weather and significant environmental events.

The signature was Saturn Uranus and Neptune all triggering the potency of the 27 Sagittarius current position of the Milky Way's Galactic Centre.

This observation is covered in detail in various Profiler posts including Extreme Weather from the Galactic Centre

scroll to end for news updates

The November 18 New Moon has sustained this with Sun Moon Saturn Uranus Neptune all in activating positions

The December 3 Full Moon sees the build-up intensify:

Sun Moon Jupiter Neptune all synergised and collectively activating Saturn Mercury Mars Uranus

Each lunar phase signature carries forward til the next lunar phase of that type - new to new, full to full and lunar phases begin to kick in days before the exact mathematics of conjunction or opposition to the sun
The signature is the qualities of the stand-out energies present at that phase  - especially the dominant interconnected forces acting in synergy.
December 3 is a visible Supermoon - closer than normal & with stronger potentials.

The Meaning

Extreme forces have accumulated over a period of weeks in the energy field and atmosphere of earth, with high probability of significant outcomes in weather and environmental events.

Mt Agung in Indonesia is one relevant example - the volcano began signs of renewed activity on November 21 then began erupting on November 25 

As the days progress towards the end of November then come in effective range of the December 3 full moon, the potential for a significant eruption is definitely at high alert level - if the eruption has not already occurred by the 30th of November.

The December full moon carries themes of extreme water events [could be rain/flood/inundation, mass deaths, travel restrictions or any number of problematic issues around travelling.

The Mars and Aries energies are amplified = heat and fire

All forms of transport are vulnerable -land/sea/air but international travel is most vulnerable and when masses of people are collected together.

Boat people/refugees at higher than usual risk -masses on boats in water.

If ash cloud closes a number of airports we will again see a travel log-jam as witnessed when Iceland's volcano blew in 2010 [multiple planets and moon phases activated in the critical 25-29  degree range in March- April 2010]

This is a high-risk period for certain people in certain places

Local conditions will reveal whether the extreme effects are expected to manifest as weather; quake and volcano monitoring should show any uptick in energy.

The effects are restricted to certain locations, certain people - always depending on the physics of resonance. Energies are always attracted to certain places or people.

Your astrological chart is the only way of seeing if you are a match.

Use your instincts and take precautions if your circumstances potentially place you in the path of environmental extreme events or destructive weather in the period leading up to New Year.

A further post will cover the indicators for the Dec 18 New Moon which also occurs with some significant factors on board.

next post : the New Year vacation period brings extreme conditions

Historic precedent for Mt Agung
The March 17 1963 eruption saw over 1000 people killed

The Sun and Jupiter were conjunct at 25-26 degrees
The lunar nodes were at 28 degrees
Pluto and Chiron in opposition were at 10 degrees

Mt Agung in 1963 & 2017 
The Milky Way's centre is positioned at 27 Sagittarius in the current era [new millennium]
An effective range from 25-29 degrees can be considered relevant when determining whether a solar system luminary [sun or moon] or planet holding a position in that degree range is effectively acting as a step down transformer of potent forces from the heart of our galaxy. Earth is just one body in space where effects can be monitored and regular observation consistently confirms this process is occurring, with resultant severe environmental consequences -expressed both as weather extremes with associated atmospheric disturbance and terrestrial unrest expressed as seismic/volcanic activity outcomes.
Land sea and air are all collectively impacted and particular locations always show the most obvious outcomes. The complexities of where are left for others to specialise in. The issue of when is much more easily focussed into recurrent and perpetual periods when several planetary/luminary energies combine forces in the 25-29 degree range and as typically found when the angles* in the range sitting at 10-14 degrees are also occurring synchronistically. [semisquare - 45 degrees ]
The 1963 Mt Agung event has 25-26 degrees and 10 degrees - a total of four factors all in tight synergy. The lunar nodal axis at 28 degrees tags on to the Sun at 26.

The 2017 Mt Agung context:
The December 3 Full Moon  - which begins to strengthen from the last day of November - reveals:

• Sun-Moon-Neptune-Jupiter ALL at 12 degrees
• 12 degrees is the semisquare of 27 degrees
• Uranus-Mars-Saturn-Mercury sit in the range 25-29 degrees -with a midpoint degree of 27
• this tags on 4 potent forces to the four involving the full moon = total of 8 very tightly connected
• this type of combination is high potency and high risk in any context where the fuse blows.
• indicators regarding transport risks [Saturn-Mercury conjunction in Sagittarius] are high probability
• indicators for volatile explosive activity [Uranus-Mars in opposition] are high risk in terms of volatile materials, weaponry, destructive damage including accidents/crashes
• Jupiter in Scorpio: mass deaths due to large numbers of people in the target zone when the forces are unleashed
• Neptune-Jupiter connection - water danger/death or transformational change due to contexts where rain flood inundation affect land areas or sea vessels. Large seas, big waves in some locations. Big waves of compassion re major tragedy.

Many of these themes have been sustained for several weeks but keep being activated by the same energies remaining significant. The December full moon looks to be the strongest indicator of major outcomes.

A full moon's signature themes can be expressed in days before, on full moon day or afterwards -depending on which of all the current factors acts as the trigger. Often it is the fastest one -the Moon - but not always. Each full moon can be triggered at multiple times and expressed by multiple events in the time until the next full moon.

This is a Death Chart - astrological indicators of a violent event

This is a Death Chart - astrological indicators of a violent event

Planetary positions at Universal Time 04.15 on 25 October 2016.
One high profile event [details withheld out of respect for the tragedy] is known to have occurred on this day at the indicated time, involving multiple fatalities.
An energy is earthed at a particular place and time
due to a synergy of the locational, prevailing and individual/personal energies being in resonance.
What is found commonly with events of significant impact is that planetary positions are very clearly potentized at the time of the event.

• An astrological chart has two power axes - the vertical axis labelled MC-IC and the horizontal axis labelled AC-DC. 
• One or both of theses axes are commonly found to be strongly activated - more accurately the planetary factors especially in close conjunction to either axis - are strengthened, made more significant -when high profile events occur.
• Depending of the signatures of the planets involved -this can work positively or negatively in terms of outcomes.

• This chart has Saturn and Venus in the most powerful position of all possible points around the chart circle -the most elevated point in the circle.
• Saturn is a bond, Venus is a relationship
• Next look to the left of the horizontal axis: 
• Neptune in Pisces and the South Lunar node in Pisces are in close range of the ascendant energies in Pisces
• Pisces is water
• Saturn and Venus are the apex of energies radiating left and right -as shown by the red lines. The north and South lunar nodes are shown completing the triangle by their exact opposition. Multiple stress energies generated by this arrangement.

water surrounds an event involving loss of relationship, separation, confusion, anxiety, grief 

• A tightly grouped collection of energies -all within the range 8-13 degrees intensifies the conflicting forces

• The Sun and Mercury closely connected in early Scorpio  [0-2 degrees] link to the suspected trigger -the Moon at 0 degrees. 
• Scorpio and the 8th house where they were positioned at the event time concern issues of transformation and death.
• The Moon not only activated the Scorpio forces but also the Mercury energy of transport  - death in motion
• The Moon also triggered the 15 degree position of Pluto [Scorpio's representative planet] [sesquiquadrate angle]

Pluto forces are commonly present in violent events.
Here Pluto sits in range of Mars [15 & 19 degrees].

• Mars then responds to the sudden violent force coming from Uranus in Aries [22 degrees] 
• Uranus is the usual suspect in accidents and it is part of the picture here but most significantly is the role of karmic interpersonal dynamics - signified by the outright prominence of Saturn-Venus at the time of the event and the very karmically* relevant lunar nodes sitting so noticeably across the horizontal axis -the energy point that is all about Self and Other -close relationships and relationship with the Self -and how forces related to past and future lives all came to fruition in a very sudden life-changing event.

No single cause is evident in disastrous events. There is always a trigger [usually the Moon, being the fastest moving factor] then like a series of co-ordinated explosions, the energies merge in a domino effect, cascading into chaotic outcomes.

November 2015 - the problems arising: astro analysis

A major planetary pattern with significant global implications builds through November 2015 and recurs significantly in 2016. [June-Oct]
November sees Saturn's energy at odds with that of Neptune.
When any planets are offset at 90 degrees a stressful incompatibility is generated in their energy fields. 

Saturn

This is Part 2 of the November 2015 analysis
For Part 1 which covers the energies in effect for the Paris attacks on November 13 go to Pluto on the Rampage

November 2015: Saturn is in Sagittarius and Neptune in Pisces when this square angle stress occurs.
Effectively from November 25-November 30 in particular forces will be locked into patterns that both manifest outcomes within that time frame but also set in motion patterns that were born in that time frame. 
Related effects are listed later in this post

A consideration of a range of related keywords gives some definition to the range of outcomes that will be recorded across diverse locations and contexts.
In all prevailing influences, people and locations do not equally experience the same intensity of impacts.
In order to strongly experience a related effect, the signature resonance of each place and person must match or have near correspondence to the type of pattern that is generated by planetary wave emissions.
Those lesser affected will simply read about, or view/listen to related news reports.


At the time of writing [November 12 2015] the two planets Saturn and Neptune are less than two degrees off their exact square angle - 7 degrees 2 minutes which occurs on 26/27 November [timezone dependent] 
This proximity of the two planets is enough to generate effects.

When Mercury also reaches 7 Sagittarius on November 25 conjoining Saturn and when the Sun reaches 7 Sagittarius on the 29-30th November, conjoining with Saturn -  in both of these periods the forces will be at right angles to Neptune so the Saturn-Neptune effects are amplified in the period 25-30 November and even into early December 2015. 

Here are some manifestations of the Saturn-Neptune-Sagittarius-Pisces energies involved.
Note that mostly challenging, difficult conditions arise with these combinations.

• Clash of beliefs - expect strongly opposed beliefs, repressive philosophies and rejection of religious or spiritual  perspectives
• Drought - Saturn restricting Neptune's water = declining soil moisture
• Damaging deluge or flooding - Saturn brings damaging effects after water initiates breakdown
• Restricted growth - Sagittarian expansion limited by Saturn's restrictive effect on water
• Maritime disasters - Saturn causes malfunction, restrictions, problems for vessels and people when travel by water is involved
• Insomnia - Neptune and Pisces are related to sleep. Saturn causes inhibited/restricted sleep
• Oil slump - Neptune's relationships include water, oil, chemicals, drugs, medicines, alcohol. Oil is heading downward and likely to be depressed on international markets whenever Saturn in Sagittarius is conflict with Neptune in Pisces.
• Economic downturn - e.g. a restricted growth cycle has once again resumed in China, with global implications.
• Reality versus Dreaming contrasts clearly the mindset of Saturn versus Neptune. Unrealistic schemes for business growth will fail.
• Legal problems due to alcohol/drug abuse or excess
• Liver problems from drug/alcohol abuse or excess
• Over-extension problems eg risk taking, excess physical effort due to poor judgement, confusion, being unrealistic
• Arthritic pelvic conditions due to toxic overload, dietary-induced inflammation.
• Paint, gas, chemical and oil related problems also includes biological problems from related toxicity, any negative outcomes from the use of such substances. Problems with painters, paint quality.

A positive outcome for Pisces/Neptune dominant people:
Saturn is the reality factor offset against Neptune's illusions, delusions, fantasies, escapism.

This can being Pisces/Neptunians down to earth in a beneficial way, bringing back structure, goals, plans, ambitions, managed growth, career focus -as a counterpoint to the dissolute, aimless, drifting, unfocussed existence that is likely to have preceded this new opportunity for balance.

A good time for sports people [Sagittarius] to abandon drugs and alcohol [Pisces] and make a commitment to attain mastership in their field [Saturn]



Looking forward to the bigger picture in 2016 because only some of the Saturn-Neptune issues will arise in late Nov 2015, or they will begin and not be resolved or completed until late 2016:

• the year sees repeated Saturn-Neptune combined effects
• June 2016 expect to see many themes arise during this month especially in the first week as detailed below-  
• [when 12-13 degrees also involves the Gemini Sun and 14 Virgo brings Jupiter into the picture meaning al1 4 mutable signs activated - Pisces opposite Virgo, Gemini opposite Sagittarius and form the mutable cross at the June 5 Gemini New Moon -energies flowing into July, August and September.

• The involvement of the Moon's lunar nodal axis becomes highly relevant from mid-June 2016 [when Jupiter in Virgo merges with the Virgo-Pisces axis in the 15-16 degree range while Saturn and Neptune occupy  12 degrees.]

• The 9 Virgo solar eclipse New Moon at the start of September occurs opposite Neptune in Pisces with these factors all at odds with Saturn in Sagittarius. 
• Soon after, Sun, lunar nodes, Mars, Saturn and Neptune will collectively amplify mutable sign energies relating to water -extremes of drought in places, extremes of deluge or flood in others with mass effects. Growth and production from the soil environment to the factory production line are equally affected.
• Economic effects are inevitable including rising unemployment, declining company values, national GDP impacted negatively.

• If you think these indicators hold the potential for global recession you could be correct.

• September 2016 as well as November 2016 are 2 months to watch in these respects both environmental/climate related and economically.

Neptune

Update Nov 14
With the mass attacks in Paris late on Friday Nov 13 the Saturn-Neptune energy brings another expression to the fore:
It is likely that public sentiment will strongly converge around a Saturnian or negative/severe/restrictive response to migrants/refugees in addition to the perceived threat from radicals driven by religious fundamentalism
Saturn in Sagittarius translates as fear/rejection, dislike of foreigners. 
This energy will be at odds with the compassion or sympathy/humanitarian response typical of Neptune in Pisces.


This is Part 2 of the November 2015 analysis.

Part 1 on Pluto in November 2015

Notes:
Saturn is detailed in depth on this site* and many references to Saturn in Sagittarius as well as Neptune and mutable energies .
To look at the combined effects means finding what sort of synergies are possible with Saturn and Neptune. This process looks at the keyword combinations that express the inherent Saturnian and Neptunian qualities as well as the relevance of their current passages through Sagittarius and Pisces.

• Economic growth indicators continue path of decline

• Financial restructuring

• Assets, financial position, markets, face further downturn

• Drought fundamentals embedded & worsening

• Extreme weather in vulnerable locations

•  The eclipses of September 2015 remain in effect for 6 months so further indicators of war and peace, enhanced aggressive military activity and violent individuals acting out are in the October news - more US mass shootings, bombing in Turkey, Syria situation 

NEW and FULL MOON in October

The solar-lunar events of the month emphasise ongoing and emerging themes.

The key lunar phases build in strength from 3 days before exact and have viability within the full lunar month until next month's new or full moon, due to other planetary triggers potentially activating the locational position of the new or full moon and/or the nodal axis of the moon.

FULL MOON October 27

An unusually pervasive web of closely interconnected energy involving all planets.

Issues of material and physical survival raised by adverse conditions

Material/financial wellbeing dissolved or diminished

Suffering due to a sense of disempowerment, loss of control

Supply issues unbalanced: too much or too little

Social inequalities highlighted regarding the dysfunctional degree of focus on self versus awareness of others.

If the worst-case scenario arises and there is a noticeable globally significant economic shake in October - rather than just further volatility - this month will be of considerable importance as a marker of the long overdue and widely predicted - even by conservative financial forecasters - onset of another global financial meltdown.

The IMF considers the estimated US$3trillion in over-borrowing in emerging markets to pose the greatest risk to the global economy, the unprecedented spree of lending/borrowing being no longer viable.
Commodities like oil, minerals, metals are in a slump phase: the period 2005-2008 was marked by high prices, big investment and concerns about scarcity generated the oversupply problems causing problems in 2015.

If October is not a wipeout, then it is likely to be indicative of further contagion re declines in global markets and economies, evidenced as well in the employment data.

The bust itself could be slightly deferred.

Picking which straw breaks the camel's back is not an easy task.

update November 4 2015 - the Uranian effect [being opposite the October New Moon in Libra] bringing change in conditions, resulted in a bounce upwards, supporting global sharemarkets with Jupiter amplifying Venus and Mars bolstering Jupiter - all in mid degrees of Virgo. These are transient effects which will be not be sustained in the face of the passage of Saturn through Sagittarius -an indicator of inhibited, restrained growth -affecting everything from crops, to business.

A few years back I discovered Merriman Market Analyst -a highly successful American forecaster using planetary cycles. 

Somehow I forgot about this useful link, but recent indicators of significant factors impacting global economies reminded me of Raymond Merriman's site.

We both look at planetary cycles but don't use exactly the same emphasis and our analysis methodology is different.

Merriman is way more experienced in this specialist area and uses "advanced research techniques" whereas I am a generalist using just my brain.

However it is interesting to compare his October report and read his articles -from my perspective, in order to anticipate upcoming trends - not for investment purposes, which is his emphasis.
