World Predictions: 2008 Stock Market Crash and Obama Election

Pluto in Capricorn 2008 till 2023: Pluto has gone into Capricorn from mid Jan.2008 and will stay there till mid June 2008 then back into Sagittarius till end of Nov. 2008 then back into Capricorn for a number of years. In Sagittarius, this is the last you will hear of the radicals in religion using it for their political gains. Pluto in Sag. has also seen the recent Mars probe landing in there and possible discovering water on its surface. We had mentioned the revolutionary advances in transportation, space exploration and mass education while Pluto was in Sagittarius. This is the last of that period which ends in Nov. 2008.

This is the time we had predicted the end to Iraq hostilities and the troops on their way back here. This is also the reason why we feel Obama is the right choice for the US Presidency as he is the only one who can establish any US credibility which has been destroyed by the carnage and inhuman treatment of thousands of civilians by the US. McCain is still part of that Pluto in Sag. theme of playing into the hands of the religious bigots and extremists. Even the was mongering element that he is using has strong religious bias as he is stereotyping all Muslims.

There will be a major push by the media and foreign governments and AIPAC to select McCain (Hilary will not be the nominee as we have mentioned many times before), but we feel that Obama will prevail.

US Elections 2008: In our May issue, we were right about Hillary Clinton not being selected and Obama having excellent transits in his chart. However, Obama is still in danger till about mid 2009. Another important date for Obama to be careful is right after the election till about 9th Nov 2008 when he accident prone. Mid Oct 2008 is also a period of scandals and unwelcome revelations which will be the last push by the McCain and his neo con backers to derail Obama's campaign. The election can still be stolen but if it was fair, there is no doubt that Obama will win hands down!

However, as mentioned in May, we see Pluto in Capricorn helping Obama in completely redefining the government and inspiring the youth and others to pitch in for a true democracy. His organizing abilities are excellent and he has intelligent leadership ability which has helped him tremendously in raising large sums of money from ordinary people. We just hope that his Mercury sq Neptune does not let him select the wrong and untrustworthy people around him. He also has to be careful that his Moon square Pluto is not being misused by going along with some of the destruction in foreign countries (most likely Afghanistan) to keep the neo cons happy.

Pluto in Capricorn will coincide with a major geological revolution and a push towards free energy, end to global warming and restrictions of emissions and waste by the manufacturing industry. There will be a major shakeup in the manufacturing industry caused by the stock market overhaul due to heavy speculative losses. Government bailouts may prompt an overhaul of the entire stock market, banking industry and even the Federal Reserve.

Stock Market Bubble: We wrote this in Aug. 2007 but it still applies so we are repeating the caution for you that the stock market (particularly NASDAQ as opposed to the DOW) will only be on a high till end of Dec.2007. Those of you who have invested heavily in the stocks should consider other options especially long term assets. After Dec.2007, the focus will be on commercial property and an industrial boom but the market will become very conservative again. We were right in our last update about the market as it did go through some major corrections.

Pluto in the last degrees of Sagittarius will redefine the whole speculative market and the stock market. As it is moving in the sign of Capricorn, this heralds a dangerous period for big business and may even require government to bail some large banks and manufacturing industries.

Strict Standards in all Areas of Industry: This is another long term prediction we made in Aug. 2007 and it still applies. With Saturn moving into the sign of Virgo from Sep. 2007 till end of Oct. 2009, there will be major new laws governing the standards in all areas of business. This includes a drive towards standards in audio video formats, precision instruments, stricter rules governing medicine and prescription drugs. There will also be major advances in the fields of biochemistry, nutrition, farming, organic food and natural health.
