AN ECONOMIC UPDATE: The
US Dollar and More Have you noticed the news about the
US dollar surging in value? If so, I hope you also noticed WHY it
increased. Well it wasn't because the US dollar has some real
support behind it. It was because the euro dropped in value, due to
negative economic conditions in Europe. Everything is relative in
this floating currency system we have now. Our dollar is not in any
better shape. The underlying conditions for the US dollar are just
as dire as they ever were. But we have a tiny window of
reprieve here to help us out.
And speaking of
reprieves, we all know that right before a national election, the
economy always gets better. This year is no exception and oddly
enough, that even shows up astrologically. This cycle is Jupiter
trine Saturn. It will get even stronger after Sept 7th, when Jupiter
starts moving direct in forward motion. This is positively the
best cycle we could have to help hold the economy together. However,
Jupiter is in its worst sign, meaning it's least effective sign. And
this means that even though the economy will be a bit better for a
few months, (until at least late Nov and probably late December),
we won't have as much growth as we would really like to see.
Even so, it's likely that this one cycle will help pull the
economy together in time for the election. Will that be enough to
keep it going after the election? It will probably keep
going until the end of December. After that though, the
economy faces very serious problems.
(This was also
confirmed when Maureen St Germain opened the Akashic Records of the
United States on my radio show last Friday. That information said
"The Unites States is poised for some serious economic changes that
will set it apart from where it's at today." The economic forecast
is big changes that will happen very rapidly... beginning in March
2009." Check this out at my site for the August 15th show at
www.polarisbusinessguides.com/radio.html.)
Now what do you
suppose could pull an economic miracle (Jupiter trine Saturn)
to the forefront before our election? Could it be that housing
prices rise? Not likely. Could it be that all the foreclosed
mortgages stop increasing? No. Will banks start lending money they
don't have? Very unlikely. But could it be that the price of oil
drops considerably? YES. We are already seeing this
happening. One of the top financial astrologers, Ray Merriman,
predicted at the United Astrology Conference in May that oil would
peak at about $145 per barrel and then drop $30 - $50 per barrel.
We're certainly in that range even now (oil is at about $113 per
barrel as I write this).
And here is another prediction,
which is not mine, but it's worth passing along. Back in the middle
of June I sent you a link to a video by Lindsay Williams, who was
speaking about The Energy Non-Crisis. He was the minister who ended
up on the Board of Directors for the Alaskan pipeline, rubbing noses
with the oil elite. Lindsay Williams was on a teleconference
recently and he reported that the price of oil would drop to $50 per
barrel and the price of gasoline would drop to about $2 per gallon.
Now why would I pass this onto you? Because the last time he
was tipped off about a very bizarre price change for oil, the
information was 100% correct. However, even though I don't have a
time table from him on this prediction, if it's going to happen,
it would probably occur prior to the national
election. That is the most likely way in which the Jupiter
trine Saturn could work out. That would drop inflation and
assist the entire economy, just in time to "pull a rabbit out of the
hat."
A Major Financial
Institution Failure?
A very interesting article was
in the Financial Times on August 12th. It related to a survey done
with the top 146 institutional investors, including banks,
hedge funds, investment managers, mututal funds, and pension funds
in the US, Canada and Europe by Greenwich Associates. Nearly 60% of
these institutional investors believe that a major financial firm
will fail within the next 6 months. Fifteen percent thought it would
happen in the next 6-12 months. The investors believe that the
ripple effects from the collapse of a large financial firm on
the credit derivatives market would pose "a serious threat" to
global markets.
So there you have it. The energy and beliefs
are already there for a major financial firm to fail.
Astrologically this is interesting, since January - March 2009 would
be the most likely time for this to occur, and that's about 6 months
from now. Perhaps these investors are "tuned in"? With
that kind of energy out there, (remember we are always creating
whatever we believe and
feel) there may not be anything that can stop
it.
So I invite you to become an informed observer and
be willing to allow whatever
happens to occur. A number of things are likely to change when that
happens, and it will be important not to get caught up in the drama
of it. Just allow it. We will build something new and
sustainable from these changing situations. Be alert for new
opportunities as well, since they always exist. At the moment, we
have a small reprieve with Jupiter trine Saturn occuring now through
December 26th. Let's make the best use of it we can to get ourselves
ready.
This is not the only news related to this topic. The
Wall Street Journal today has an article on the FDIC pressuring bank
and thrift regulators to downgrade more of the banks they supervise.
The article reports that although "only 8 banks have failed this
year" (8 times as many that failed in each of the last three
years!), "more than 100 others are on the government's watch list."
It also mentions that of the 90 banks on the "watch" list at the end
of first quarter, not even IndyMac Bank was on it, which failed July
11th. This is why the FDIC is pressuring regulators to get tougher
with the ratings, since their insurance funds are being depleted
with every bank that fails. Of course if the bank ratings get
tougher, it becomes harder for banks in trouble to raise capital and
pull themselves out of the problem. In essence, we're seeing signs
that any banks which haven't already saved themselves are probably
at death's door.
______________________________________________
OIL AND GOLD
OK, I bet I know what your top
question is: What should I
do with my gold? Answer: Hold onto it. Next year it will
be twice as valuable (maybe even more so!).
Oil is going down and you know that
oil and gold tend to go hand in hand for pricing. An ounce of gold
is usually ten times higher than the price of a barrel of oil. But
since early this year, we haven't seen gold maintain that price
structure with oil and now oil is going down. Plus gold is down
considerably. This is a BUYING opportunity if you can find any gold
coins or small bars of gold to buy. In fact, there is so little of
the gold coins and small bars available that many dealers have notes
saying there could be long delays to fill orders. Sounds like
the price is a bit below where it should be, doesn't it?
I want to give you a little preview
of what's up for next year. Next year we will see dramatic amounts of
inflation. This will happen between late March and
December 2009. Along with that, we can expect interest rates to
finally rise and oil prices to also increase again. Gold will become
even more valuable when one or more of the major financial firms
fail and the ripple effects begin. One of the ripple effects we will
see is a change in the currency. This is not fantasy. This shows up
in a major way in the Federal Reserve's chart and the USA's chart,
and this will likely happen between February and March 2009. In
fact, Maureen St Germain's reading of the Akashic Records for the
United States suggested we would get MULTIPLE changes in our
currency in a short period of time, beginning in March. (Please
listen to this radio show on August 15th at
www.polarisbusinessguides.com/radio.htm)
When we get multiple currency changes
(and this may be needed to implement a plan to give us the Amero
currency, which is a combination currency for the US, Canada and
Mexico) the price of gold will go nuts. We don't know what they will
trade our dollars for, but it sure won't be one for one. We might be
lucky if they replace three of our dollars with one of the new
currencies (ie our dollars become worth 33 cents). The point is,
gold will maintain its value and grow proportionately. So even if
your dollars lose value, your gold will grow in value. If you can
get gold now, this is the time to invest in it.
And another thing that will grow in
value is your ability to attract money to you. If you're ready to do
that more seriously, keep reading about a way you can do that soon.

ANNOUNCING
OUR REVAMPED 8 KEYS
PROSPERITY PROGRAM
JUST IN THE NICK OF TIME!
CLASSES START
OCTOBER 9TH
As
the financial cracks in our system become bigger, it becomes more
urgent for us to understand how our personal, business, and national
finances are created energetically first, before they
manifest in our bank accounts. Understanding how this works is what
allows us to create something better. We’re usually so
focused on the mechanics of making money, that we fail to notice the
energy we’re putting out with our products and services (often
stress and anxiety) is what’s coming back to us.
In
an effort to assist our clients and customers in creating a higher
level of prosperity, Polaris began teaching 8 Keys to the
Ultimately Prosperous Business in the fall of 2002. In that
amount of time, a lot of new information has come out to further
support our efforts in teaching these concepts. So this year, Peg
Donahue and I have revamped 8 Keys and we hope you will take
advantage of it. It still contains many key ingredients for the
program, including the Emotional Freedom and Healing release to
release fears out of your body related to money.
Who should take 8 Keys?
·
Anyone who works and
wants to accomplish more by doing less
·
Anyone concerned
about their personal or business finances
·
Anyone who wants to
feel safe as the country goes through this major change to the
financial system
·
Companies and
individuals who don’t want to join the economic downturn
This
course is taught by telephone with a 75-minute class once a month
and a 60- minute coaching session two weeks later. This format helps
participants integrate the information at a deeper level. The
program lasts for a total of 8 months, (October – June, since we
take a break for the holidays), and we offer both telephone and
online recordings, in case you miss a session. We also provide study
guides for the program online.
This program has a money-back guarantee if it doesn't
work for you. The only things you're likely to lose with this
program are your old patterns, fears and blockages related
to not having enough money, which prevent you from being
more prosperous. We offer both monthly and discount
payment options.

Business

your company wants to get on the prosperity track, we will offer a

August. I talked about what to expect of the economy and the
financial institutions through the month of August, plus how to
prepare for the economic changes we’re headed through.
On August 1st, my show was
about Time for Breakthroughs.
I discussed the most positive ways you can use these volatile
energies and the eclipses to remove obstacles and make changes.
Using these energies negatively, could create a breakdown
instead. It's better to focus on creating a positive outcome and let
the Universe assist you in co-creating it.
July 25th, my topic
was on How to Work in Harmony with
the Universe. I discussed several ways to work in
harmony with the Universe, so you don't have to work so
hard.
