ARIES is self-will in action; pioneering energy; new growth seeking to emerge
Maybe, just maybe, we are reading this economic tailspin thing all wrong. Perhaps it’s ordained up there in the sun or the moon or the stars? Perhaps we should stop bowing and praying to Taurus the Bull who stands outside the New York Stock Exchange and start edging closer to Aries the Ram. On March 21 the sun moves from Pisces to Aries. Could this help the economy? March 21 is also my day for applying for my Online Cash Advance. Could this help my personal economy?
Aries, the ram, is the first astrological sign in the Zodiac. In astrology, Aries is considered a masculine, positive, extrovert sign. It is also considered a fire sign, and is one of four cardinal signs. Aries is ruled by the planet Mars.
Traditional Aries Traits
What we need to do is to align our economy with the Traditional Aries Traits, making it:
- Adventurous and energetic.
- Pioneering and courageous.
- Enthusiastic and confident.
- Dynamic and quick-witted.
March 21 is the beginning of the new zodiacal year and Aries, the first sign, is therefore that of new beginnings. The young ram is adventurous, ambitious, impulsive, enthusiastic and full of energy. The Arian is a pioneer both in thought and action, very open to new ideas and a lover of freedom. They welcome challenges and will not be diverted from their purpose except by their own impatience, which will surface if they don’t get quick results.
Exactly what we need!
How about Financial Astrology
This subject is also known as business astrology, economic astrology or astro-economics. It is the practice of relating the movements of celestial bodies to events in financial markets. The scientific community considers astrology to be a pseudoscience.
Financial astrology is sometimes applied in the following ways:
- Predicting major economic trends as they relate to certain cycles, specifically on the cycles of outer planets
- Helping an investor find the best industry to be in for a particular period of time based on major planetary configurations
- Identifying the best stocks to own during a particular time period
- Identifying the best date and time to buy or sell a stock
- Correlating the Astrological aspect to the movement of stock market in day trading.
The practice carries the implicit belief that astrology is valid and influences human behavior. Although astrology is generally regarded in mainstream Western thought as having no logical basis, advocates of the efficient market hypothesis would also make the same claim with respect to most forms of technical analysis.
Don’t laugh
Evangeline Adams, born in 1868, was the best known American astrologer of her day. She was a well known practitioner of financial astrology. In 1929 she predicted that the stock market would continue to rise in price. On Labor Day, September 2, she told a reporter for radio station WJZ that “the Dow Jones could climb to heaven.” The next day the Dow Jones reached a record high that was not reached again until November 1954.
Adams was arrested twice in New York for fortune telling, in 1908 and May 1914. Although practicing astrology was not legalized at that time, Adams was later acquitted in 1914 after she gave the judge an accurate astrology reading describing the death of his son. Newspapers quoted the judge as saying that Adams “had raised astrology to the dignity of an exact science.”
Remember
ARIES is … new growth seeking to emerge
Oddly enough, Aries and Mars are inextricable in more ways than just astrological alignment. Aries and Mars are the Greek and Roman names for the same god – the god of War. (So many of ancient Rome’s culture was lifted from Greece, and then repackaged with a different name – Zeus became Jupiter, Poseidon became Saturn, etc.) Masculine and aggressive qualities would go right along with that. Aries/Mars was also the chief deity worshipped by the Legions.
