konrad, in the case noted, up or down, yes, but not "sideways". Archetypally Mars represent desire/action; Neptune,is associated w/idealism/confusion. I would suggest that Mars/Neptune going stationary from retrograde is an example of a 'constellated pattern' that indicates a 'key' change in psychology/sentiment, that the potential change should include 'both possibilites' is paradoxal & should not preclude its ability to 'contribute' to additional economic analysis of market data used to anticipate market direction. If you can determine 'when', other data may suggest 'how'. Again, "astrology is not concreatly predictive, but archetypally predictive", This aspect of 'market analysis' is pretty new for me, but, the 'turnaround' on the 28th of April appears very suggestive. As to the predictive powers of archetypal astrology, I would simply caution you as to 'putting down' things, simply because they are 'foriegn', 'out of favor', or beyond your current comprehension. I too, did not always believe that something so belittled & reduced to comic page, pop psychology status, could contain, truths not supported within the current 'modern' cultures mythos. My apologies, if by examining such obscure subject matter, that I appear 'pretentious', as that is not my intention. Hope your finals went well. Regis. |
