Stargazers predict market meltdown

Article from the prestigious English Sunday Times - Apr. 2/00.
The stock market is set to crash in May, according to one of the more esoteric financial strategies -- astrology, writes Robert Winnett.
A growing number of banks and fund managers visit astrologists regularly. Even the European Bank of Reconstruction and Development has incorporated astrological predictions into its forecasts.
Financial astrologists gained their reputation after the l987 crash, which they predicted -- but City economists did not see coming.
One astrologer says: "There are definite correlations between planetary movement and changes in people's behaviour, which affects how stock markets move."
The pinstriped Mystic Megs also forecast the Asian economic crisis of l998.
Christeen Skinner, a leading financial astrologist, is predicting that the stock market will crash between May 4 and 28 -- after the collapse of a top bank.
Last year, she claimed there would be a serious split in the stock market as people lost faith in the "old and traditional". Many blue-chip firms, including water companies, brewers and banks, have since seen their share prices tumble because of the fervour for internet and technology stocks.
Now Skinner and her colleagues are predicting a far bigger meltdown. The crash will occur on May 4 because the Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus, Jupiter, Mars and Saturn will all lie in the sign of Taurus -- for the first time in centuries. They will also be lying at 90 degrees to either Uranus or Neptune.
Skinner says: "This is a formidable situation. Taurus is the sign of banking and when yhou get a square sequence -- a 90 degree angle -- you get a state of crisis. Uranus and Neptune are the planets of new developments and technology. Put all this together and I believe one of the big banks will be hit by a huge cyberspace fraud or a computer bug, which will threaten its very existence, and cause stock markets to tumble."
Unfortunately, Skinner would not reveal the winning lottery numbers before May.
