Dangerous
Market Phase
At Hand, Be Prepared
By Arch Crawford, editor

Some
of the Most Powerful astronomic combinations in ALL OF RECORDED
HISTORY will be culminating over the next Three Weeks! The
party will begin in earnest with the depressive effect of Saturn
conjunct the Moon's Node (mourners attending a funeral
Ebertin) on June 6. The BIG DAY is the SOLAR ECLIPSE on
the evening of June 10, conjuncting Saturn and the Node (and
Uranian Hades for good measure), and opposing Pluto. For
the U.S. East Coast, the period from 7 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. EDT
includes contact by these forces to the Ascendant/Descendant
axis (horizon) for new York/Washington.
If you are EVER going
to pay attention to the "Gloom & Doomers" and "Chicken
Littles" of the world, this might be a good time to start
taking them seriously. Some who have been WRONG for 20-30-40
years may turn out to be RIGHT during this time period. They
say: "Even a stopped watch is right twice a day." From
the looks of the skies, it appears that the "minute hand"
is fast approaching the point where their clocks are stopped!
When it gets there, this month, you had BEST be PREPARED.
I was very negative
on the Grand Cross Eclipse of August 11, 1999. The day Saturn
triggered the Uranus in that chart was the Top Day Ever of the
S&P 500 and the NDX (100). The DJIA topped on January 14
and the Nasdaq on March 10 (2000). As Saturn successively activated
the Mars, Saturn & Eclipse point of that 1999 event, we encountered
a series of extreme down days, and the exact low day of the first
leg down (April 24, 2000).
In the current case,
Saturn will "trigger" the Eclipse point by conjunction
on June 20th NO WAITING! Therefore, we are very serious
in our warnings, particularly for the period June 6-28th. Best
to figure at least a temporary low for July 7-14, perhaps a summer
rally, then a retest of the lows which MUST prove the ability
to hold, or markets will suffer a further tumble in the Fall.
In Markets
If there is a sharp decline, a good strategy as we near this date, enter BUY orders above the market price (preferably by two technical resistance levels, instead of one, to avoid volatility whip-saws) of whatever you are short, or whatever you may want to Buy Long. Then lower the Buy Stop as your market declines. This will put you IN the market during a dramatic shakeout and whipsaw, hopefully very close to a washout low. Until then, we are retaining our negative market positions as 200% SHORT using full margin to take advantage of the probable debilitating decline into this devastating vortex.
Gold
Gold and the XAU Index are testing their highs of Sept-Oct, 1999. Normally, traders would Sell Short against a long-term high, and BUY if it Bulls through! With all this turmoil in the sky, we lean towards the Bull case! It may rest here a few days, but we doubt it will take long. STAY LONG!! Again, the exception is the very short term trading account. Momentum is slowing, and a nimble one might take some money out on the short side. We're not going to try it! Silver is also beginning to SHINE more brightly +15.7% since April 16! Also a BUY & HOLD! The word is now that the Smart Money is buying GOLD, but the Smartest Money is buying SILVER! That includes Gates and Buffett.
Astronomic Activity
June
6 7. Sun opposes Pluto = Coercion, use of Force. Saturn
conjoins Moon's Node = Grieving, great sadness.
June 8. Mercury goes
Direct = the fog begins to life on mental processes. Action in
the works!
June 10. SOLAR ECLIPSE
conjoins Saturn & Moon's Node in opposition to Pluto, Uranus
in Half-aspects to the Lot!
We expect this period
to be the most significant of the decade, at least! Caution!!!
June 12. Occultation
of Mars by the Moon = "Hotheaded, dramatic and tearful"
Mountain Astrologer.
June 18. Four inter-planet
aspects, unrelated to each other = A flurry of dramatic but unfocused
activity.
June 20. SATURN
exact CONJUNCTION to SOLAR ECLIPSE POINT = Secondary Peak in
dangerous tensions!
June 21. Summer
Solstice, Mars quincunx (150) to Pluto = One more of this angry,
hostile, explosive continuing series.
June 22 23. More
hostilities this weekend. Uranus parallel Pluto, Sun parallel
Mars = Markets usually decline into this.
July 3 4. MORE
DANGER! Moon's Node conjunct Pluto, Saturn conjunct Uranian
Hades = NO END TO DEATH!
July 7 14.
More planets in Water ruled signs, often an indicant of maximum
emotional expenditure, market Lows?!
