Mars opposed Uranus = powder kegs
Week beginning June 23, 2014
Mars stokes the fires of rebellion again this week, as the Sun moves into protective mode and Venus turns bipolar.

In Forecast 2014, I headed the first chapter: 2014 ... and let slip the dogs of war.
I continued: "There is only one real show in the skies this year … a dramatic escalation in the ongoing War of the Gods which has been underway since 2008 and is not due to end until 2015.
Hostilities are likely to hit a new peak in the first four months of 2014.
Astrologically, the primary battle is between the original Old God, Uranus, and Pluto, the ruler of the underworld."

I thought we might spend some time this weekend reviewing the Spooky Stuff, since one wrong move ... by anyone ... this week could easily ignite at least one of the powder kegs.
We're now getting a better sense of just how the current square between Uranus and Pluto is changing the "rules" and nothing will ever be the same again.

"In ordinary, everyday terms, it manifests as a fight between the proletariat and the plutocrats.
Uranus in Aries symbolises armed rebellion or, at the very least, widespread social unrest which demands radical reform.
Pluto in Capricorn is the deep-willed desire to change nothing; at least nothing which threatens the power and control of the established elites.
Uranus in Aries is irresistible force meeting the immovable object of Pluto in Capricorn.
As the aspect between the two grinds on, the everyday symbolism seems to be spreading.
And it’s likely to reach a new climax in the first few months of 2014, simply because there are few other major astrological transits this year to alleviate the stress."
It's turning out even worse than I thought it might. At a really ordinary level, we can see the symbolism at work in the overthrow of senior House Republican, Eric Cantor, who has been defeated by a challenge from a relatively unknown Tea Party radical reformer.
Cantor, beloved of the banks and big business, is a virtual poster boy for the political power of the established elite. So, too, is Senator John McCain, a robust Republican hawk who had a series of meetings in Kiev stirring up the Ukrainian malcontents determined to overthrow their Russian-linked, elected President.
The result: Russia seized Crimea and the entire, industrialised east of Ukraine is now in armed rebellion. Since they're on "the wrong side", the Washington elites label them "terrorists".
Further south, most of north Africa is in turmoil and the generals are back in control of Egypt, planning to execute quite a lot of the people who had the bad luck to actually get elected not so long ago.
A little further east, the West's attempts to get rid of the Syrian leadership has created a situation where "radical reformers" are on the verge of creating an Islamic caliphate.
Washington is being forced to talk to the Ayatollahs in Iran ... which will anger both the Saudis and the Israelis ... and runs the risk of creating a Baghdad/Teheran coalition which could shut down the entire Persian Gulf in a flash.
Hmmmm. No gas and oil from Russia through the Ukraine pipelines ... no oil tankers getting any further than the Gulf of Oman.
It's little wonder the Chinese last week started moving another four oil rigs into "disputed" areas of the South China Sea, swatting away Vietnamese Coast Guard ships and Filipino protests like annoying gnats.
This weekend it has been revealed the CIA wanted to get into the toy business, manufacturing Osama bin Laden dolls in China whose bearded faces melted away to reveal a red-eyed devil demon. Subtle.
And a report released in London revealed the world's central banks and governments have amassed $29 trillion worth of "real" investments, at least $1 trillion of which is invested directly in stock markets. A trillion dollars, just to give it some sort of meaning we can grasp, is more than the current market value of Citigroup, Bank of America, Wells Fargo and JP Morgan Chase combined.
In other words ... run the printing presses non-stop at the Mint, launder the money through your tame banks, then overpower the financial markets to create the illusion of recovery.
This Wednesday, Mars will oppose Uranus again, lending "energy" to the "rebellious". Venus, the ruler of money and tangible assets, moves out of her comfort zone in materialistic Taurus into Gemini, where every thought bubble is quickly popped and replaced by another that seems more "interesting".
And the Sun goes into Cancer, symbolic of home, hearth and homeland. Cancer is fiercely protective against threats to the "homeland". We can expect to see the big claw come out.
And, of course, that's emphasised by the New Moon.
This is not going to end well ... and it's not going to end soon. It's one thing, I suppose, for the devil doll makers to stuff up relatively small players like Libya with a "no-fly" zone which actually meant bombing any apartment block, house or office building used by Gadaffi supporters ... and then getting all angsty because the rebels you let loose killed your ambassador.
You can tell the Egyptian generals they're naughty and non-democratic ... and then poop your pants and go running back to the generals when the "people" actually exercise democracy and elect the "wrong" leaders.
Gee, Zeus ... what a mess. And the approach of the power elites has been sooo very successful in Libya, Egypt, Syria, Iraq ... and so on ... they now want to repeat the performance against Russia and China.
Anyway, that's the Spooky Stuff background to what's going on. There'll be another spark ignited this week. No real need to update the charts.
You can refresh your memory on the current price targets and Support/Resistance levels from last weekend's report in the Archives.
