Will Hillary Become the Secretary of State?

OK, I had to ask the cards if Hillary would become the secretary of state in the new Obama/Biden administration. I remember someone asking me earlier if she would have a place in his cabinet and it didn’t look like it at the time. But I can visualize her in this position so I asked the tarot if she would become the secretary of state:

The answer: Yes

It’s a very strong yes and she will be excellent at the job.

Will Hillary Become the Secretary of State?

Answering Readers’ Questions…

Sorry, I’ve been swamped and it feels like questions have been piling up. I’ll try to get through a bunch tonight and if I have time I will either delineate the future of the S&P 500 (as best I can) here or in a separate post tomorrow.

Hi,

Some random questions:

1) What do you think about Laura Bush?

2) Bush, Cheney, Karl Rove and many GOP’ers are praising Obama. Do you think this is genuine or they are just playing along?

3) Will India play a role in the Obama administration, especially with regards to Pakistan?

Thanks!

Hi A,

It’s funny that you brought up Laura Bush the night you posted because I was telling my husband that I didn’t think Laura Bush agreed with her husband’s policies which is why she choose to stay in Crawford most of the time. I have a feeling she is much more liberal and compassionate then George or his family of origin.

Every once in a while she wears an expression that seems to indicate she’s a bit embarrassed by him and is just putting up with her goofy husband because despite his foibles (of which there are many) she loves him, the way a mother loves her kid.

In answer to the second question of whether the GOP is playing along or not, I think they’re glad they don’t have to clean up their mess. They threw a big old bash on the tax payers money, and bankrupted our economy, got us involved in 2 wars, and now they can blame everything on the Democrats when Obama can’t solve all the problems they created in the first month of his administration. So, no, I don’t think it is genuine, I think it is very strategic, and they are angling for a way to take power once Obama and Biden have cleaned up their mess.

The third question is more complex. I don’t feel that India can play a role in regards to Pakistan, there is too much animosity between the two countries. Pakistan as you know was once part of India. India is a democracy, the main religion is Hinduism and of course Pakistan’s people are mostly Islamic. Pakistan has a lot of turmoil and chaos going on it’s a very delicate situation. I can tell you I don’t have a good feeling about it, and this is one of the areas I’m going to look into in greater detail over the coming months. I need to run charts of all the countries in that area, and really meditate on this because as I said I feel like we blew it, and we’ll have to repair diplomacy with Pakistan before we really can win the war in Afghanistan, or at least stabilize the country, and root out the Taliban before we can leave the country knowing it will be able to regenerate itself.

Will the situation in Iraq improve under Obama? At first, I had high hopes that a meeting of the minds could take place and really get this settled. But after reading this:
http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20081108/ap_on_re_mi_ea/ml_iraq_al_qaida;_ylt=AsEatMoZSBKorAUV.cztaY0LewgF

I am not so sure. What is your thinking on this? Thanks in advance!

Hi Grace,

I read the article and my feeling is this is just a scare tactic, a way to try and assert some power over the new administration, but it won’t work. I feel Obama will get us out of Iraq, but it won’t be over night. And I feel also that these scare tactics telegraph the fear that some radical groups have in Iraq, perhaps feeling that their cause and energy are waning. I have a feeling that the Iraqis are even more sick of this war then we are, and want to get rid of those aligned with terrorists because their presence in Iraq only guarantees our staying there. I don’t feel any major policy change in regards to Iraq coming from the new administration. I do feel Obama will get us out.

If a person is trying to have a secure future when would be the best time to buy index funds, mutual funds, both american and foreign. Also with so many foreclosures out there if a person happens to have some money when is the best time to purchase a home. How long will a person have to wait for the real estate market to recover

Hi Ann,

I’ll need to run charts on index funds, and mutual funds. If there are any in particular you want looked at post their names and if you have the date and place where they started trading that would be great.

In regards to real estate, that market does not completely bottom out until March of 2011. I know that all these foreclosures seem like good deals, but remember if you are buying them now at the start of a major recession, renting them out maybe difficult. Also the worth of real estate will continue to go down until 2011 (this market is ruled by the north node, search the site you’ll find a post all about the cycles of the real estate market). So I suppose if you get lucky at an auction and are able to buy a house for 9,000 dollars or something like that, then you’ll be OK. But often people get caught up at auctions and overbid on stuff.

That being said if you personally have a good chart for making money in real estate, and use your intuition I think you could start looking into it as an investment opportunity now, but you just have to be very careful as there is a lot working against you. And you have to consider the price of real estate will continue to go down so if you buy something at auction it should be for much, much, much less then its supposed to be worth. 

hopeandaplan

Hi Denise,
Hope you are well. I just wanted to say that despite how ugly things may get I am profoundly hopeful. I cant tell you the despair I would be feeling if McCain had won.
I do have one question and it is about the Taliban trying to create a full civil war in Pakistan. Pakistan has nukes and both India and the US as well as the whole world would freak out. I know you are looking at foreign policy and I think this is very dangerous. Its very complicated because the Pakistani intelligence agency kept the Taliban alive because they didnt trust that Afganistan wouldnt be overrun by India. Now, the Talibanis are turning on the Pakistanis. I think someone else asked about India… Not a real question, sorry. Do you have any feelings on this… Thanks for your great insight, as always.

Hi Hope and a Plan,

It is really complicated. And I have been meaning to look into it for a long time because I have had a bad feeling about that region. I will do a detailed analysis on this in the coming week. Thanks for the question.

Carol

Your sharing of your gifts with so many is
very impressive. I look forward to reading
your comments each day.

I wonder if you might comment on the pole
shift idea which has been predicted for the
turn of this century by so many psychics.
What is your take on that?

Hi Carol,

I have talked with other psychics, even with a mentor of mine about the pole shift prophecy. I do not believe that the poles will shift in the way that has been prophesized. This and the breaking off of California into the ocean, I argued over with my mentor who was a follower of Edgar Casey’s and worked with many other well known psychics. He was an amazing elderly man named John Brooks who is now on the other side, but anyway, he believed both those predictions. I did not and do not.

The earth moves at a different pace then we do, it is on geological time; its very slow, so while I do believe there will be a pole shift (and actually there is presently one going on) it will happen over hundreds, maybe thousands of years, and we will not really feel its effects directly. That is how I feel about California breaking off the US map. The plate California is on will continue to move and perhaps several million years in the future California will no longer be attached to the North American continent. It will happen so slowly that the only thing we will feel are the earthquakes along the way and it will take millions of them over millions of years for this to happen. It certainly won’t be a surprise when the last bit of those two continental shelves split apart.  And the pole shift will be the same, it is going on and we may see some repercussions as it does, but it won’t be the drama that has been predicted.

It has become very clear that Sarah Palin is opportunistic (and not for the good of the whole). She is all about Sarah. She reminds me of fools gold which is probably why I find all this so upsetting.

As you know, she was investigated by the Legislature and found guilty of abuse of power. She was investigated by the Personnel Board and found not guilty. I feel she and her husband lied. What do the cards say? Thanks for your time; it is greatly appreciated.

Hi Northernlights,

Let’s ask the cards if she lied:

Interesting answer. It looks like they literally bought the outcome. They didn’t need to lie because the Personnel Board was a fraudulent investigation. The board’s hands were tied, and the judgement was already made before the “investigation” began, so it was a complete sham. 

And the cards answered, Yes, they lied to the legislature. They made it look like they were just protecting their family and played down the vindictive nature of the firing. It’s interesting to note that it looks like (according to certain cards I keep pulling) there could be a civil case against Palin. And she will have a judgement against her, and have to pay damages to the man she fired if he goes forward with a case. So he’d win a civil case against her if he proceeded. There is, and was, a strong case against her, but there was a lot of pressure from the McCain camp to shield Palin. Now that they’re gone she’s going to have to deal with the aftermath. She however won’t see it coming. She’s on a real ego trip.

OK, I will answer more questions tomorrow. So if you didn’t get an answer, you will! 

Best wishes to all,

Denise

The first question comes from Steve:

RE: TSX, sorry about that, forgot to send that info. I believe it is October 25, 1861 (www.tsx.com/en/pdf/TSXHistory.pdf). If that does not help, RIMM is Canadian but should also be in your US database. Actually, our election just happened Oct 14th. Conservatives won. (4 year term). I have already lost a significant amount of life savings – can not imagine even more loss in a Dec crash. I think we may already had our crash and hope to get some of the money back soon. Thanks again. Have a good one.

Looking at the chart for this date (TSX) I really doubt it is accurate. I also have the chart of Canada and am going to post both of them below and then do some interpretation:

Reading through Canada’s natal chart it looks like Canada in general is not going to feel the hit in December that we do. I really don’t think the TSX chart is accurate. It feels wrong. And without the TSX chart I can’t read the market in the same way I can read the Dow or the NASDAQ. When it merged with the other market the chart would have changed. 

I get the feeling Canada’s problems will come later and be a sort of trickle down problem. Pluto doesn’t oppose Canada’s stellium in Cancer in the 9/10th houses until January 2011. And there will be some protective aspects like natal Jupiter sextiling from the 5th house, natal Mars trining from the 11th and natal Pluto trining from the 8th. It seems that most of the trouble will be in the Canadian job sector, and that will be bad for awhile.

But in terms of the stock market you guys won’t see the worst of it. It won’t really be until about 2015 and into 2016 that you see the economic fall out. I doubt your stock market will crash at the same time ours does. Also the problem is without the new TSX merger chart its hard to read what will exactly happen to that market. Canada itself will be OK. I know the whole world is connected right now, but Canada’s chart is pretty strong for the time being, like I said it won’t be for a few years that you feel the shock waves in a major way. I’m not familiar enough with how your market works (barely familiar with how the US market works) to give advice about this, but chances are if the company you are investing in is Canadian your investment will do much better. Hope that helps.

I enjoy your blog. I check it out almost everyday. I was wondering what are your vibes on the situation in Mexico? My own feelings are that we should keep a close eye on this. I feel the violence in Mexico is more of a threat to the average American’s personal safety than Iraq or Afganistan. My own intution says we will be asked by the Mexican government for police and/or military support, before this is over. What do you think? Thank you for your time and insight.

Hi Grace. Sadly, I think you’re right. It appears Mexico is in the middle of a civil drug war and there are so many ways this will impact our safety. Having a bunch of sociopaths running around killing people, it’s not hard to imagine the drug traffickers doing business with terrorists for the right price. If they can move drugs and people across boarders, then why not dirty bombs or the unthinkable? This is truly horrifying and so under reported. I knew there were problems in Mexico, and they were getting worse, but once you posted this I wanted to understand what you were referring to, and found that the violence is getting so out of control it rivals the statistics of a civil war. Almost 5,000 people have been horribly murdered this year so far. 

In terms of a reading I’m trying to get a handle on how to project forward and what to focus on. My intuition is telling me that if this does not get under control in the next couple of years we’ll see another major attack. 

I’m going to meditate on this and try to coax some dreams about this forward and post them later, but for now I asked the tarot:

Will there be another terrorist attack on the US by way of Mexico?

The answer: Yes.

But it looks like there is a very high likelihood at this time, that the attack would not be as effective as our enemies would want and it will be foiled. Our intelligence will catch it before it can do the kind of damage the enemy wishes to do. 

I’m going to really put feelers out and scope this question out in greater detail. I’ve had several odd dreams over the past few years that make me wonder if they are in partial reference to a future event of this type. I’ll let you know what I figure out. 

I had a strong inner voice telling me Chicago would be where the target strike would be in the next few years, but again I don’t feel it will be entirely successful by the terrorists’ standards. I checked the chart of Chicago and it looked like in 2010 there could be at the very least an attempt. Hopefully, it will be averted. 

I’m going to try to get more information about this. You are onto something. I feel it’s not in the immediate future, but perhaps in the next few years. Thanks for your insight!

Hi Denise: I know that Hillary Clinton, when asked what role she would have in the Obama Administration, has said that she would like to remain a Senator. I really believe that Obama has big plans for her. She’s a very intelligent woman and I greatly admire her. 1) What role will Hillary have in an Obama Administration? 2) Will Hillary ever be President? She is an amazing lady and would be a great President. Thanks!

Hi Tcal,

I know Hillary will be president. The timing was wrong for her this go round. If she would have run in 2004 she would have won. But she will win the next round. I have always been a big fan of hers, but I think she made some mistakes in her campaign that cost her the nomination this time around. Hopefully, she will learn from them, and be herself next time instead of listening to the “experts” telling her how to come across, or to do or say.

She has tremendous depth and intelligence, but I think she tried too hard to work against the implicit sexism. And this is where she went wrong. There will always be people who won’t vote for a woman just like there will be people who won’t vote for Obama because he’s of African descent. But luckily, these people are not the majority and over time there will be even less of them. So, in my humble opinion if Hillary is herself, doesn’t try to over think things and relaxes, she’ll win the next go round by a landslide.

People did not get to see what she has to offer and who she really is. She was too worried about the people she wanted to convert instead of worrying about the people who were on her side. Next time I don’t think she’ll make that mistake.

I don’t have the feeling Obama is going to use Hillary as anything more than an adviser on some issues. But I do feel her prominence in the Democratic party will continue to grow and in a strange way, because she didn’t get the nomination this time, she will be a better candidate next time, and a better president! 

Best wishes to all!

Later I will answer these questions and new posts.

I want to first thank you for taking the time to answer all of our questions. THANK YOU and I hope you are feeling better!!! Like I’ve said before…it’s unbelievable in how accurate you are! Second, I think it’s amazing that Colin Powell has endorsed Barack Obama. In my opinion it says a lot about the “Obama movement.” I just want people to please go out and vote!!!

Now here are my questions:
1. Since the polls recently are showing Barack Obama in the lead in some of the battleground states…will people really go out there to vote for him?
2. Do you see more of a shift in those battleground states toward Barack Obama in the upcoming weeks?
3. Do you still see Barack Obama as president?

Hi everyone. There are a lot of questions to answer. Some are very big, and some I’m not sure I can really answer, but I’ll do my best over the next couple of days. Here’s the first one from Marie:

Marie

These new attacks on Obama by the McCain/Palin calling him a socialist, what impact if an will they have on people voting for Obama? Did General Powell (Ret) help with voters?

Thank you!

Hi Marie,

I asked the tarot if these new attacks on Obama calling him a socialist would anger Obama voters and motivate them even more to vote:

The answer: Yes.

It looks like Obama supporters are not going to buy this and those who have made up their mind in support of him are just going to become more avid supporters because of it. They don’t like the unfairness and feel this is a dirty mischaracterization of him. It will motivate more people to openly defend him. So it will backfire on the McCain camp.

I asked the tarot if retired General Colin Powell’s endorsement would help undecided voters decide to vote for Obama:

The answer: Yes.

It seems that in the next few weeks the economy will again be on people’s minds. People are really suffering financially right now and it’s going to get worse before it gets better. It’s strange, but the people who are being swayed by Powell are those who don’t want to vote for Obama, but feel there is no choice because McCain is just not a viable option. They know it will ultimately be in their best interest and provide a truly new (and much needed) direction for this country. Very interesting. But it doesn’t look like Powell’s endorsement will make a huge difference as Obama is so far ahead and will pull out even more once the G7 excitement wears down and the markets go crazy again.

What re your views on Chian and India economies and its effect on the Australian ecocnomy?
Also please give your readings on Pan Australia Limited, Murchison Metals Limited and Industrea Limited. Any chance of recovery or to sell now.

Many Thanks

OK that’s a lot of questions hidden inside a question. I’m not sure I can answer all of it succinctly enough for one post. I’d have to look at the charts of the companies mentioned and so I’ll save that part of the post for a later date after I look through my data base.

In answer to the other question about how China and India will effect the Australian economy, I’m not an economist so I’ll have to ask the cards and try to interpret them the best I can. Please do me the favor of posting how you think it relates because I’ll have no idea if any of it will make sense. 

I’ll ask a yes/no question to start, and if you want more data then put that in the next post as well.

Will the growing economies of China and India adversely effect the Australian economy?

The answer: No.

It looks like there is a new business model or paradigm shift in the Australian economy. The change has caused some problems and unbalanced things a bit, but as long as your political and business leaders work with an eye toward eliminating old ways of doing things, and instead of competing use these new markets as a work force, focusing Australians on the intellectual property side, innovation and development, the economy will find a new strategy that will work well for all involved.

OK these I’ll save for later. Bed time for me. It’s late! (Sorry Steve, I swear I’ll get to your question soon!)

The First question comes from Carl:

carl15

Thanks so much for your insight. I really enjoy coming back here every couple days. It would be very interesting to see your own birth chart. Is there any indication in a birth chart that shows “psychic” talents. I heard that individuals with a sun in the 12th house tend to be highly sensitive…

Anyway… Thanks a lot,

Carl

Hi Carl,

Thank you for your post.

I have a Grand Water Trine with in a Kite formation with Uranus Pluto and three planets in Pisces. My Sun and Moon are conjunct in Aquarius. Uranus (the ruler of my sun and moon) is conjunct Pluto (the occult). Ironically, my birth time was inaccurate, so for years I could never time anything in my chart. I have recently rectified it. My rising is early Gemini and my Mercury and Venus are conjunct in Pisces. If you look at my whole chart the chart flavor is Pisces. Pisces rules the 12th house so you’re not far off! I suppose the air helps give me some analytical ability as well. My birth date and time is: 2-9-1967 at 11:22 AM in Chicago, Illinois. I have no fire at all in my chart. And very little earth. This is probably why I am not very coordinated!

The next question is from Tckal:

tckal

Hi Denise: Your psychic abilities are very accurate. Thank you for your posts…I read them everyday…they give me hope. I was wondering if you could answer this question for me. Since Sarah Palin has declined to release her medical records, could this be that she has something to hide…like perhaps that 5th child isn’t really hers? Since she has lied about almost everything that has come out of her mouth, I can believe she would do something like this. Thank you.

Hi Tckal,

I’ve wondered this myself. At first I didn’t think much of it because its more common for a woman of her age to give birth to a Downs Syndrome baby. But after reading an article about her “pregnancy,” and seeing the time line, which looked impossible, I began to wonder. Having been pregnant myself, I really don’t think anyone could be on labor during an 8 hour airplane ride without anyone noticing. Or after having 4 kids, to be 7th months pregnant and not show. I think that is medically impossible. So I’ll ask the tarot as there’s really no other way to determine this.

The question to the tarot: Is Trig Palin, Sarah Palin’s naturally born child?

The cards say: Yes.

But it looks like she wasn’t sure what she was going to do about it which is why she didn’t tell anyone for a long time. Seems she wasn’t sure she could handle a special needs child. It looks like Todd actually made the decision to keep the child. He was what convinced her to keep the baby. She was worried it would interfere with her work and that it would emotionally overwhelm her, which doesn’t make her a bad person in fact it seems normal to worry about caring for a special needs child.

My mother  made an interesting point which I think she’s probably right about. Sarah Palin went into labor in Texas and decided to fly all the way back to Alaska to have her child, the reason? Certainly, she was not thinking about her health or the health of the baby. Was it because she’s a secessionist and the child would have to be born on Alaskan soil to stay true to her movement? That made sense to me. I’ll have to look into that later.

I will answer the next bunch of questions later tonight. Here they are:

The first question comes from Octavia:

Octavia

Denise, thank you so much for answering my questions. I’m going to be purchasing a 15-20 minute session in the next 2 or 3 weeks, but I was wondering if you could just answer yes or no on this question: Within 25 years will the technology/medical advancements exist that will enable perfect to near-perfect facial skin regeneration?

Thanks so much,

Octavia

The Tarot’s answer:

Yes.

In the next 25 years this technology will exist and be widely available. It won’t just be in the research phase. It looks like it will give many people self esteem, allow them to get out and be more comfortable dating. However, some may find that so many years of holing up and living a hermetic life will be a hard cycle to break even if they appear different on the outside, they might actually be confused about how to deal with the change. For those, psychological therapy will also be needed. Hope that helps.

Ceramic fuel cells CFU company in Australia, will they be a good investment in the future. They have just invented something that cheaper and carbon emission free electricity.
Thanks for the tip re Minara and Oz minerals can you see them going bust as Ive lost so much money already with them and other shares that I’d only sell now if they have the potential to go bust.

I’ll ask the tarot if Minara will go bust first:

Gee. It looked pretty great when you invested, huh? Actually the company looks like it was doing well and its fortune was about to change for the better. I asked if it would go out of business in the next 5 years, the answer. Yes. But you may find it will go up before it burns out. So I’ll ask if it will go out of business in the next year. 

No. It’s not going to go out of business within the next year. I would wait awhile to sell this and when you get back to where you started, maybe a little over, sell it then. It will go under but will have a period where it does better before it implodes.

And now Oz Minerals: Will it go bust in the next 2 years?

It looks like Oz will be acquired by another company. This will stabilize them and make them more financially stable, but they will no longer be Oz Minerals. I’m not sure what that means for your stock in Oz. Hope that helps.

Your comment on the Toronto Stock Exchange TSX would be great for all us Canadians.http://www.tsx.com. Thanks much!

Hi Steve,

I couldn’t find a start date for the TSX after doing a google search and because my astrological database is made by a US company it is not listed. But I do have the chart of Canada itself and can read the market a bit through that. Although it won’t be quite as precise. If you can find the start date of TSX please post it and I’ll run a chart. 

Saturn is going through Canada’s 12th house of loss squaring Venus in the 9th (foreign matters) which rules the 8th of investing. In layman’s terms, your stock market is going to be tangled up in our mess. We are going to cause you guys some serious trouble. I’m not going to go into all the astrology but your stock market is also going to have major losses. But it seems it will be a little while before your domestic issues get addressed in a real, transformative way, not until January 2011. It may also be when there is serious anger, job loss and civil unrest. This maybe when you guys really feel the economic depression or recession depending on how your government plays this.

Being an American I am woefully ignorant of the workings of your government other than the parliamentary system you employ and I think you have elections every 5 years? Sad. I know. Our educational system is US-focused. I did a quick peek on Wikipedia trying to find that out, but I couldn’t tell when your next election will be. It could be that this aspect will mean a complete shift in the power structure, so the conservatives will be out and a liberal government will take its place. That would be perhaps the best potential outcome of the aspect. It could also be a lot darker. But lets cross that bridge when its closer.

I just tried to get more info and it looks like your Prime Minister was elected in 2006 so if there is another election in 5 years it would make sense with what I’m seeing. There will be a change from conservative to liberal. This is also when your domestic issues will really be tackled.

Hi,
I was wondering if you had any insight into the Student Loan Corporations in the midst of this economic crisis and how they could be potentially effected, specifically Sally Mae. Myself, like so many others in my age group (under 30) find ourselves anchored down by huge college debt with no realistic way to pay it off or much hope to be able to aquire property due to this outstanding debt. Is there relief in sight? Either with lower interest rates or in some other manner?

Thanks so much

Sadly this problem goes back to the Reagan administration who changed a bunch of laws regarding student loans, and it wasn’t to the student’s advantage. I know this because I was in college during Reagan’s second term. Clinton tried to rectify this a bit, and actually it wasn’t until he passed some legislation that I was able to repay my student loans back after 10 years of feeling like I was carrying around an anvil on my shoulders.

Anyway back to you. And the sad fact that Republicans don’t like people being educated. Especially college, that should be reserved for their wealthy family members who if they had to really compete probably couldn’t actually get into college. (Of course this isn’t true of all wealthy people, there are great, brilliant people in all economic classes. But certainly if George W. Bush wasn’t a legacy would he have had any chance to go to Harvard or Yale? NO.) 

OK, here goes. Let’s ask: Will there be any legislation in the next four years that will ease the burden of people with student loans who currently have them?

The tarot’s answer:

Yes.

There will be legislation put forward that will pass, helping those saddled with student loan debt. It will have a charitable aspect, and a contribution aspect. And there will be some people violently opposed to helping out the non-wealthy college educated (fancy that). It looks like some sort of community service, or using your education to advance areas the nation will be interested in expanding, teaching and or serving in the military will be options to getting debt erased. It seems there will be some kind of program put in place to try to utilize people’s specialties to enhance the country’s standing in the world, to move the nation forward, and actually it looks like this program will be good for the country, and the individuals involved in it.

One caveat, it won’t be easy. Going into this program will take up time, make some people feel as if they’re stuck for awhile and be very competitive. But it will solve a lot of people’s student loan debt problems.

Best wishes to all and good luck!

Who is going to win the next debate? The Tarot Answers…

I’ve had readers ask about this next debate.

OK, so far Obama is 2 for 2, but will he make it 3 for 3? Let’s ask the tarot…

Will Barack Obama win the next debate?

The answer:

A surprising, No.

It looks like the appearance of some financial stability will enable the McCain camp’s nasty smear campaign to carry more weight. It also looks like McCain’s behavior may throw Obama off, as he will be unable to completely stave off the assault of unjust, and hurtful words. This may make Obama look weaker than he has. 

I asked for further clarification and got:

It looks like McCain has been working hard on this one and is going to also hit Obama with the inexperience thing, with Obama being “naive.” McCain’s going to cite how experienced he is and how hard he has worked to help our country. But this will be an empty victory. 

My intuition is this will not be a terrible lose for Obama, but McCain will win over some undecided voters and shore up some of his base. We will see McCain narrow the gap for a little while after this debate. Until the economy starts to tank again.

You’ll see a downward spiral in the stock market again. So you may want to trade before the debate if your worried. I feel the spiral will be next week, but timing is a hard thing. I felt the rally coming, but thought it would be later this week, now I’m not sure. I could have been off by a few days. I do think the G7 meeting will be helpful in keeping the markets positive this week, but again, I can’t be sure of exactly what days will be great, only a general time frame in terms of weeks. I’m not getting a bad feeling about tomorrow or this week so far, but thinking about the next couple of weeks is making me feel nauseous. It’s like a roller coaster ride.

This is why I didn’t want to answer anymore stock market questions because it’s so erratic right now. Tapping into its energy is like reading a naked schizophrenic running down a highway with his hair on fire. There’s too much stuff to sort out, and so many different factors colliding at once that literally every day is like a quantum physics experiment. People’s emotions are effecting this as much as real factors, and right now we are all so high on adrenaline, fear and panic one minute and then lulled into somnolence the next, that we are like that schizophrenic running down the highway with his hair on fire that I mentioned earlier.  I believe that once the election is over, it will be a lot easier to read. This is one of the quantum factors muddying the waters right now. 

If I get any clear information through this storm, I will post it. But I’m going to try to lay low on this until I do get something hitting me over the head. 

I do know we are going to see some wild fluctuations for awhile, so don’t be lulled into a sense of safety just yet. Not to say anyone should freak out, but this election is really the choice between two very different paths. Obama really does represent hope and the future. McCain represents fear and clinging to the past. It’s our choice to make. And with Pluto being a karmic planet, it’s essential we choose to walk away from fear, prejudice, greed and hatred or we will suffer very dire consequences.

Make sure to vote! Don’t take anything for granted. We are living in very strange erratic times! 

Best wishes and good luck.

A reader asks:

Alex

hello, i have two questions:

about the 5:00 time on the sept 15th crash chart – the market closes at 4pm and usually mundane charts are done for noon, as it’s almost impossible to pinpoint a time with something that’s ongoing. so why 5:00?

also, in view of last week’s events, would you still consider sept 15th to be the definitive chart because it was the beginning of this chain of events?

thank you very much!

Hi Alex,

I would do the chart for the closing bell. If it closes at 4PM then that would be when I would run it as that would be when the damage would be complete. Under normal circumstances when the exact time is unknown, noon is sometimes picked or sunrise to do a chart. Usually noon with the sun on the ascendant to be more accurate about it, because noon is when the sun enters the 10th house and the halfway point of the day. All the planets are calculated for that time and the sun’s degree is then made to be the first house cusp. Again this is only if there is no exact time because it is sort of like a median for the day. I hope that answers your question.

Best wishes.

Another reader asks:

Nitin

Hi Denise.

i have 2 questions if you would not mind to answer. My first question is simple, will we ever find a cure for Aids? If yes, what sort of time lag are we lloking into.

Second question is there have been 2 recent mid air incident for Qantas. I have a dreadful feeling that something might happened, do u mind to verify if the company is going through a rough phase astrologically.

Thank you so much for your time and patience

God bless

Hello Nitin,

In answer to your first question, I asked the tarot if there would ever be a cure to aids. The answer was yes. The cards could be referring to the cocktail of drugs currently available that prolongs a person’s life. I have a feeling it does because it looks like the only thing that stops a person from attaining this cure is money. I think we will see a time in the next 8-10 years when the cure will be available to everyone, even those who can not pay for it. It looks like there will be some sort of a lawsuit over the next few years that will force the drug companies to lower their prices and make it available to people of all financial situations. In terms of a real cure, like a real cure to cancer rather than surviving with drugs and in cancer’s case, cutting, radiating, chemo etc. There will be a real cure, not just a management style cure, but this will come far down the pike. I’m seeing it in about 2020/2021. It is my feeling there will be a combination of nanotechnology and gene therapy that will enable physicians to locate the virus, kill it (nano part of it) and then implement a copy of the gene that has been found in aids resistant individuals. Even in 2020 this will be experimental and not available to everyone until much later.

The second part of your question in regards to Qantas Airlines. I do not have their chart data in my database, because I have only American companies and I believe Qantas is Australian. if you have the start date of the company I can run a chart. Post it if you do. I will answer the question via the tarot however.

The tarot says:

Actually, yes and no. There is a communication problem going on and instability in the company. If there isn’t a woman high up yet, then either there is a woman personally connected to your question (like your friend or family member works with you at Qantas or for Qantas and your worried about them in relationship to this question) or there will be an important woman executive as part of these changes. It isn’t that they are more unsafe in the sky then any other airline. But it seems they are going through an unstable period in their chart which may have attracted these near misses. It may take some time though for this instability to settle down. And as I said, this chaotic energy is responsible for the near collisions. It is sort of like when you are going through a rough patch in your own life, and you hear that old expression, “when it rains it pours,” well that’s because negative attracts negative.

Hope that helps and if you can give me their incorporation time I can give you more detail.

Best wishes.

Much thanks for posting your guidance in these troubling times.

Will the Canadian dollar lose more value against the US$ (its lost about 15% recently). Also how about the British pound, Euro, Yen against the dollar.

Hi Celli,

Thanks for the question. I hadn’t been thinking about this with all the crazy market stuff. 

I asked the Tarot if the Canadian dollar would lose more value against the US dollar over the next month. 

The answer:

Yes. It seems they made all the same mistakes we did, they are also in serious debt.

But the good news is Canada will get lots more work from the entertainment industry, (their card came up. I won’t tell you what it is, cause it makes the industry look bad).

Will the British Pound loose value against the US dollar in the next 6 months? The Tarot answers…

According to the tarot:

The answer is yes.

It looks like they will be involved in bailing out those in need and will their economy will be frozen. This will be exacerbated by the overall bad global situation and some bad news will drive their currency down in value. I was a bit surprised by this answer. It doesn’t look like they are going to get to the point were their money is worth less than ours, just the fact that their money will be worse less against ours within the next few months. It’s going to be a very interesting time. I don’t think normal patterns that we’ve seen are going to apply. 

Will the Yen loose value against the US Dollar in the next three months?

Again a yes.

I’m starting to wonder if our economic crisis after triggering a domino effect will destabilize the value of the money in these different countries. It’s very odd. It’s a yes but it looks good for Japan at the same time. Perhaps they’ll close up and become more isolationist during this period. Focus on creating jobs and wealth within their own country, balance their budget and then re-enter into the world market place when new laws are in place. Just a flash. 

I don’t know what to say, it all runs counter to what my logic would extrapolate. The only logical explanation for all of this is as I said, perhaps (since we are the first) we will be working on stabilizing the problem while these other countries start to go through their melt downs and we’ll see the loss of their money compared to ours.

In the trial Berg Vs Obama they are saying Obama is not a natural born citizen and that the birth certificat he provided on his website is a fraud. Is it true ? Is it the October suprise ? Will Obama be discualified ? Or will he win the trial ?

I asked the Tarot will Obama win Berg vs. Obama;

The answer:

Yes, overwhelmingly, yes. At the center of this is a grab for power, is purely political and an attempt to create fear.

I asked the Tarot if there was anything at all to Berg’s claim:

The answer:

No.

The only thing that gives it enough legitimacy to even be filed is the fact that he lived overseas and had family members who were foreign. But there is absolutely nothing to this at all. It’s trumped up, political maleficence. 

Best wishes and good luck. 

PS. To those right wingers out there, those that are foul mouthed, those that pretend to be polite, but are passive aggressive and nasty, you will no longer find any of your comments on my blog. Write your own blog and let me know about it, and then I will post it, and we can exchange links! I think that’s the fair way to handle it. That way my readers and I don’t won’t be assaulted by your venom, and you can still have a voice. Isn’t America great. Free speech, we all have it. Go ahead and use it! But I will not allow my readers or myself to be victimized by this rhetoric, this is not the forum for your hatred and negativity. I’m sure you’ll find lots of places, and lots of blogs were you can spew your racist, sexist vileness and general nastiness.

The funny thing about the right wing, most claim to be Christian, but being a mean, greedy, nasty person and then repenting is not what Christ meant when he said, “I am the way.” What he meant was, I am the example by which you should lead your life. Maybe some of you should try that, it won’t just make you better people, it will actually make you happy, knowing you are a force for good in this world rather than an arbiter of fear, anger and hatred.

I don’t care if you agree with me, I just hope you all can learn to be tolerant and kind. This is what we “liberals” expect of ourselves which is why I guess you guys have thought we had doormat written on our foreheads. But I’ll tell you a secret, being compassionate and kind actually makes you feel better! Try it sometime! I hope you do.

Best wishes and good luck.

I read your blog with great interest – and have sent it on to others. I have a question about Proposition 8. As a lesbian with a partner of 20 years, we were delighted to finally have a legal wedding on Sept 27th. Our party favors were No on Prop 8 yard signs and Obama/Biden stickers.
BUT now I hear that Prop 8 may pass.
This is really distressing. Could you tell me what you ’see’?
Thank you

I was delighted as well when this passed and all people were recognized as human beings with the right to share their life with the person they love. How beautiful is that? Isn’t that what we all want. I can’t believe it has ever even been an issue in our land of “freedom.”

It was about time.

I don’t understand how anyone could believe they have the right to interfere in another person’s life, stand in someone’s way to happiness and the right of all people to have a family. It really upsets me, but anyway. I’ve seen the lame prop 8 ads, and it’s really been upsetting me, too. So let’s ask the tarot:

Will Prop 8 Pass?

It will be close.

But NO it will not pass.

Phew, I was worried there. I do feel that it is imperative for people to really get out and let their voices be heard about this. Like I said, sadly, it will be close. But it looks like there are enough people who see loving another as a right and they won’t take it away.

From another Reader:

Hello, I represent an online community of individuals who suffer from acne scarring and other types of facial scarring (due to surgery, burns, etc). As of yet there are no procedures that can offer us any real improvement and so we’re looking to the newly emerging field of tissue regeneration to yield a real solution. There is currently a global race between countries and scientists to see who can achieve perfect skin regeneration and scarless healing first. Many scientists are confident that humans contain the dormant capacity to regenerate tissue and organs, and that that can be turned on with proper gene-therapy and other types of stimulating treatments. Other scientists are working on means of “rebuilding” lost or damaged tissues. But the truth is that we do not know for sure if any of this is truly possible. However, it is something that many scientists are working hard to figure out.

That said, with the impending global financial crisis, many of us have become disheartened that research that will lead to scarless healing/skin regeneration will lose steam or halt completely. Could you give us any insight into the following questions?:

1.) What do you forsee happening in the next 20 years with the progress of stem cell research and the development of other tissue regeneration technologies? How badly will they be affected by the financial crisis?

2.) Some of us in this online community have discussed at length contacting an existing research institute in hopes of starting a foundation within the institute devoted solely to skin regeneration. We would endeavor to raise funds by contacting millionaire/billionaire biotech investors around the globe. If scarless healing ever is achieved it will be worth billions. In these tumultuous financial times, is it even worth our effort to try and spearhead something like this? If not, when WILL it be the right time to start something like this?

3.) Will we ever make the scientific advancements & developments necessary to achieve perfect or near-perfect skin regeneration on individuals who’s skin has been badly damaged (i.e. acne scarring or third degree burns)?

4.) If so, when will this happen/what is the timeframe (i.e. 10 years… 20 years….30 years…. 100 years….. never?)

5.) From what country will the solution emerge?

We are essentially a group of people with deeply broken hearts, hanging onto hope that we aren’t even sure is valid. Modern medicine does not currently have an answer for us, but it is our deepest hope that someday it will. However, if it is not to be in our lifetime, then knowing that would help all of us to move on and not spend any more time waiting in vain. Perhaps you can help ease the burden of “not knowing” by infusing our search with a little foresight into the future.

In Deepest Gratitude,

Octavia

Hi Octavia. I’m very sorry to hear about the plight of so many with this problem. I will try to tackle as much and as many of these questions as possible.

I asked the tarot if there would be any significant advancement in the next 10 years:

The tarot gave me a maybe.

It will depend on all of you. You will be able to sell this idea to a research/cosmetic or medical company, mainly for cosmetic reasons that can be applied to the larger population. You guys need to gather a think tank and figure out how your healing your condition could benefit the greater market. For example perhaps this condition if cured could lead to doctors using this treatment post surgery so people would not get scares. This would be especially appealing to the plastic surgery community. You also maybe able to convince researchers to get to the root of the problem with similar broader application. Perhaps if it is a genetic collegan problem then understanding how this gene works and repairing it may also be applied to how to enhance this gene in ordinary people so their skin can look perpetually youthful. Don’t loose hope. You guys just need some angles outside of your group. I believe if you start working on it, and ask me this question again in six months or a year, after you have made a plan, there will be a very different outcome and the answer will be yes. You will see a cure. But you guys are going to have to make it happen.

You can do this even with the financial market in crisis. And actually, oddly this came up as an advantage because once the turmoil settles a bit, there will be people looking to invest in new technology, especially medical technology as the baby boomers age. And as we all know, they are the biggest generation on the planet. I have a strong feeling once you hone your plan you will find investors willing to help you get it to the next level.

I found this post to be important and timely:

I have been watching the news coverage of McCain/Palin rallies and I can’t believe all the hatred especially from some of the African American people. It leaves me uncomfortable as a black person. Literally, the feeling I have is down right sick to my stomach. Why are people negative about Barack Obama? I understand having a difference in views and opinions but HATE…why? I am not for Obama because he is black. I’m for Obama because of his policies and the sense of his character. Like I’ve said before, I feel something about him that is different and honest and feel he is for the people. I would encourage any candidate if I felt the same way about him. I don’t understand why McCain is encouraging this hate by speaking the way he does at these rallies. McCain is not speaking about the issues important to me and the policies he has I don’t agree with. But, I don’t wish him harm or hate. I just won’t vote for him…that’s all. Karma has to come and take care of McCain/Palin. All this negative energy is unbelievable…it too much. I’m not naive, believe me, I know racism but come on. I don’t see any democrats yelling out ignorance…why do republicans? Yes, Obama is a bi-racial. Yes, he has a Kenyan name. Ok, let’s move on!

I couldn’t agree more with you about McCain/Palin whipping up hatred and racism. It is despicable, dishonorable, traitorous, disgusting, pathetic and desperate. It pains me to say the reason they are doing this is because that’s all they’ve got. They are both clearly morons with no answers. Neither of them answer a question directly or have any clue how to get us out of this financial crisis. In Palin’s case she went to 5 party schools taking a total of 6 years to get her bachelors degree. In McCain’s class he graduated in the bottom 5 of his class.

Barack Obama had an academic scholarship to Harvard. I think its clear that Obama does not just have a compassionate agenda, and is even keel, but he’s also a brilliant man. Clearly, we need someone with a brain to get us out of the mess the last nit wit put us in. It shouldn’t come as a surprise that after 8 years of Bush we’re bankrupt. He did the same thing to every company he headed. He even managed to bankrupt a Texas oil company. That’s like going broke selling gold for copper. It doesn’t even make sense. I can’t tell you how angry I am that we have such an ignorant, mean spirited, doggedly small minded contingency of Americans. It is beyond sad. I used to believe most people were good. I’m starting to believe that there is a huge percentage of people who don’t want to think. They may not be “bad” people, but they just want an authoritarian style leader, they live in fear, are reactive, cloistered and unintelligent. They think of politics like some people think of sports, they’re team Red no matter how insane, or terrible their candidate might be. These people are not thinking about how their “team” will impact their life but rather they have some kind of identity wrapped up in belonging to this group. Even if it means their extinction, a global depression, their daughters inability to get an abortion if raped by a relative, or the loss of their own job. It’s just mindless! I wish they would pay attention to the actual truth, listen to the positions, look at people’s records and vote according to who is best for our country not because they want their team to win or because they can’t stand the idea of anyone other than a white person being president. Let’s face it, this is the undercurrent of the Republicans. I’ve had people post insanely racist things about Obama, which of course I deleted. I wish the media would deal with this, it’s just disgusting.

I read an article on a blog, someone analyzed Palin’s IQ at between 100 and 115. Here’s the link if anyone is interested in reading this person’s assesment: http://www.halfsigma.com/2008/09/sarah-palins-iq-no-higher-than-110.html

If she were on the higher end of this scale, she’d be smarter than something like 75% of the American people. That is really scary! The more we are finding out about Palin the more frightening she gets. I recently read she is a Dominion, a branch of Evangelicals who believe in ushering in the end of days, better known as Armageddon. Here’s a quick little explanation I found:

Dominion Theology

From Sociologist Sara Diamond in an article titled “Dominion Theology:”

More prevalent on the Christian Right is the Dominionist idea, shared by Reconstructionists, that Christians alone are Biblically mandated to occupy all secular institutions until Christ returns — and there is no consensus on when that might be.

From George Grant, a leading dominionist writer in The Changing of the Guard, Biblical Principles for Political Action:

Christians have an obligation, a mandate, a commission, a holy responsibility to reclaim the land for Jesus Christ — to have dominion in civil structures, just as in every other aspect of life and godliness.

But it is dominion we are after. Not just a voice.

It is dominion we are after. Not just influence.

It is dominion we are after. Not just equal time.

It is dominion we are after.

World conquest. That’s what Christ has commissioned us to accomplish. We must win the world with the power of the Gospel. And we must never settle for anything less… Thus, Christian politics has as its primary intent the conquest of the land — of men, families, institutions, bureaucracies, courts, and governments for the Kingdom of Christ. (pp. 50-51)

(The above quote comes from Dominion Theology: Blessing or Curse by Thomas Ice, published in 1988 by H. Wayne House and Thomas Ice. pp. 412)

From Reconstructionism to Dominionism, Part 1, Talk To Action, November 25, 2005 — Includes links to interviews Bill Moyers gave with Rousas Rushdooney in 1989

 

Sorry to get so angry about all of this. I just don’t like people playing dirty, being cruel or illiciting violence against others. Hate mongering makes me very angry!

We must not be passive in the face of violent hate mongers. As the famous poem states about Nazi Germany:

When the Nazis came for the communists,
I remained silent;
I was not a communist. When they locked up the social democrats,
I remained silent;
I was not a social democrat.

When they came for the trade unionists,
I did not speak out;
I was not a trade unionist.

When they came for the Jews,
I remained silent;
I wasn’t a Jew.

When they came for me,
there was no one left to speak out.

We are all going to need to be, not just compassionate, kind and honest right now, but feisty as well. We are in for some very strange and difficult times. And the kind hearted can not let themselves be trampled on any longer!

Blessings and best wishes to all of you.

A Question From A Reader… The Tarot Answers…

From Melissa:

Hi!
I love your web-site! I would like to ask the question if the Clinton’s (especially Bill Clinton) will help Obama in this election. I know that he is slated to campaign for him quite a bit in October (after he finishes his Global initiative in Sept.) but will this effort pay off for Obama in any significant way? Thank you!

So I asked the tarot:

The answer a pretty resounding NO.

It looks like there are a lot of hard feelings. They won’t do anything consciously to hurt Obama and even though they will go on the trail for him, it won’t be with much fire or strength. However, it does look like Hillary will be more helpful and supportive than Bill. All in all, they won’t really change voters’ minds, unless they let go (especially Bill) of the bad feelings left in the wake of Hillary’s campaign. It seems (from the cards) that there is a certain amount of humiliation Bill (in particular) feels, he doesn’t feel the Obama camp gave him a generous way out of some of the harsh statements he made and because of this Bill has anxiety around a real full fledged endorsement.
