To: SBerglowe who wrote (226 ) 4/18/2003 11:56:37 AM From: Clappy Respond to of 4909 I would type "Saturn in Cancer" into any good search enging if you really are interested. I think I found an answer to my question:astro-cycles.com Here is a snippet from that site written in October of 2001: THE ECONOMY and REAL ESTATE MARKET: Yes indeed, 9 interest rate cuts later we are still in a slump with no sign of the end of the tunnel. This is due to our debt load as a nation being WAY too high. As I've mentioned before, U.S. consumers and businesses have OVER THREE TIMES our historical high in debt. Going to war, lowering interest rates, and dipping into Social Security to pay for more bail outs, tax cuts etc, is NOT going to solve this. You CANNOT STIMULATE an economy out of DEBT. That would mean taking on more debt and you can't decrease debt by increasing debt. Now is the time to get out of debt as much as possible by whatever means you can accomplish this. The real estate market is one which has peaked, but which is better off now than it will be in the near future. The real estate market reached it's 18.6 year high in April 2000 (North Node entered Cancer). This market is now headed down, but still near the high, roughly just below the crest of the peak. Right now (with Jupiter in Cancer until August 2002), real estate prices are still higher than they would normally be. By August 2002, this additional support for housing and property prices will be over (Jupiter moves into Leo) and real estate prices will come down a bit. Then in June 2003, real estate pricing starts coming down significantly over the next two years through mid- 2005 (Saturn in Cancer). This means you have a chance now to sell high, wait a year or two and buy low. The next big low in real estate (North Node in Capricorn) will begin in late August 2009. The next major real estate high will begin in Nov 2018. If you are thinking of buying or selling a home in the next few years, pay attention to these cycles. Now is the time to sell, but not buy. We get the next Saturn-Pluto opposition hit on November 1st, just a few weeks away. This aspect has been shown to be related to wars, depressed or lowered economies, and other major world events. This is not going to help the stock market, nor should you anticipate more than temporary rebounds in the stock market for years. Each time we get a rebound it's going to rebound to below the last previous high, as we're in a bear market. The war can't help the stock market either. Remember, this situation is not like the other ones we've faced in recent history. We've NEVER had this much debt before. There are better ways to make money through conscious creation. More about that soon. </snip> Another site mentioned that Uranus entered Pisces and I could not get past how funny that sounded phonetically. My Beavis and Butthead mentality would not permit me to read that phrase over and over without giggling a little. Especially if I said it the other way around. Pisces entered Uranus. Anyhow it made me think it might be a good time to sell my house and invest in who ever makes Preperation-H or Tucks... <g> Joking aside, I found the astrology stuff interesting. As I do the Bradley cycle stuff that I've been following (somewhat) for a while now, etc. Thanks. -Clapernicus
