Last chance for Gordon Brown
Don’t be fooled by Gordon Brown’s bounce in the polls. From the point of view of Indian astrology, luck has turned against him, and in the long-run things can only get worse. However nothing moves in a straight line, and even the driest of deserts have the occasional oasis. On September 22, just before his conference speech in Manchester, a window of opportunity started opening, that will last until the end of August 2009. It will appear that Gordon Brown’s luck has changed, and his standing in the polls is likely to further improve. However it’s a temporary blip. After August 29 2009 Gordon Brown’s political fortunes will plunge into the abyss.
This means that Gordon Brown has got until the summer of next year to call an election. It’s an election he’ll lose, but it won’t be a wipe-out, and he’ll maintain some credibility. So probably the last reasonable date for an election is June 11 2009. However from an astrological point of view he would be advised to go for May rather than June. If I was his astrologer, I would suggest that he went for Thursday May 28.
Nicolas Sarkozy in mortal danger
Astrologers are always weary of predicting death and injury, but looking at French president Nicolas Sarkozy’s horoscope, there’s reason to be worried. From October 24 2008 through to May 25 2009 his life and well-being are in danger. Now, that doesn’t mean anything will happen to him. His presidential position affords him a high level of protection, and hopefully he’ll have a personal astrologer, who will alert him to the problem and offer the right remedies. Still, it’s a classic death signature, and I would advise Sarkozy to avoid doing anything dangerous, and to steer clear of crowds. And even if Sarkozy avoids death or physical injury, his political and personal fortunes will almost certainly take a dive.
When will the stock markets stop falling?
I don’t know. But I think 2009 will be a better year on the markets than 2008.
In the mean time, here are three dates to consider:
October 15. Mercury, after three weeks of moving backwards, starts going forward.
October 18. Venus moves from Scorpio to Sagittarius. Scorpio’s not the greatest sign for Venus to be in. Sagittarius is more optimistic.
November 4. Mercury moves out of Libra, Saturn’s sign of exaltation. As a result, Saturn, the planet of pessimism, loses a lot of strength.
So over the next few weeks the picture should slowly improve. And perhaps the US presidential election will be a positive for the markets, whoever wins.
