Mercury retrograde transpires July 7 until July 31, 2019.

Common occurrences under this astrological phenomenon include communication misunderstandings, revisiting the past, and delays relating to travel and new ventures.

Finding solutions to on-going dilemmas are also commonplace under Mercury retrograde, as is re-connecting with old friends; despite a tendency for more confusion than usual, Mercury retrograde does have hidden benefits.

Judgment tends to be defective, so take a more cautious approach to important matters such as major investments and legal contracts. For example, avoid making an impulsive home purchase during Mercury retrograde.

See this page for a thorough list of Mercury retrograde themes and a general timeline.

As mentioned in the linked information above, the approximate three-week period leading up to Mercury retrograde usually involves more challenges than the actual retrograde period.

Mercury retrograde July 2019 details:

1. Mercury goes retrograde 7-7-2019 at 4:14 p.m. PDT, 04 degrees 27 minutes Leo.
2. Mercury goes direct 7-31-2019 at 8:57 p.m. PDT, 23 degrees 56 minutes Cancer.

The bar graph in this post includes the July 2019 Mercury retrograde period, along with other basic astrological events.

Following Mercury retrograde and other basic astrology cycles allows you to witness the cyclical nature of life, and reduce your overall risk in life.

In business negotiations or everyday life, overestimating or underestimating someone can cause significant loss and wasted time.

A sure way to avoid misjudging someone is to find out what he values and what he doesn’t value.

In other words, if you know what motivates him, it’s a significant piece of data that will help you avoid misjudging him, thus know how to negotiate to your advantage. Offer him what he truly wants instead of what he doesn’t, because he appreciates it more than anything.

For example, you may be convinced she’s primarily motivated by financial rewards and security, but later discover she’s driven more by ego needs and approval, mostly due to her hidden insecurities. She has always needed to prove to herself and everyone else she’s good enough, but it’s unfortunate you found that out after the negotiations.

Appearances can be misleading, and self-assessments are notoriously inaccurate simply because most people just don’t thoroughly know themselves on an unconscious level. Subconscious motivations often differ greatly from consciously perceived ones. It’s frequently a surprise to find out a person’s true motivations—sometimes a nasty surprise, and sometimes a pleasant surprise. Extremes are easy to assess.

In my Motivation Assessment Analyses, I evaluate these core thirteen human motivations: financial rewards/materialism; altruism; ego needs; personal accomplishment; leadership; approval; challenge; social involvement; practical interests; security; knowledge/theory; creativity; pleasure.

Avoid intelligence failures. Don’t listen to what a person says about what motivates him or her. Instead, watch what they do, if you have enough time and resources to hire a private investigator. If not, unconventional security investigations, in conjunction with other forms of assessment (including your own observations) can help you save an enormous amount of time and money.

The ancients are thought of as crude, barbaric, and unsophisticated, but evidence to the contrary paints a very different picture.

While it may be true that conventional science has advanced more in the last 100 years than the previous 2000, the ancients were at least as advanced as we are today in many ways, and even more advanced in select ways.

For instance, our modern technology is unable to replicate the precision of the stonework of the approximately 15,000 year-old, 800-ton stone blocks at Puma Punku, the ancient archeological site in Bolivia, along with that of the Great Pyramid in Egypt.

Another example that mystifies experts today is how the ancients were able to, without modern technology, accurately record astronomical and astrological events. Archeological finds all over the globe—China, Japan, India, Europe, South America, Australia, and elsewhere–abound involving sophisticated star and astronomical charts dating back thousands of years.

The Babylonians administered the longest enduring scholarly science project in recorded history, for 700 years, and it involves astrology.

According to Yale Assyriologist Eckart Frahm, stars and other heavenly bodies were worshipped as deities in ancient Babylon and, “The ancient stargazers were so intrigued by the mechanics of the heavens – and the possibility of being able to make predictions from what they saw in the night sky – that, from the 8th century to the 1st century BC, they observed very closely on a daily basis the movements of the stars to determine what exactly was happening in the sky, and documented these observations on clay tablets.”

In my mere thirty plus years of experience, I’ve constantly gained new insights regarding cosmic events symbolizing the fabric of personal fate. It’s mind-blowing to imagine the understanding I’d gain over several centuries observing celestial phenomenon in connection to everyday occurrences.

It’s likely a great quantity of divine secrets originating from the longest running science project in history were lost and forever hidden from public knowledge. One can only marvel at the awareness, and subsequent power, that was gained over 700 years of continual examination.

Question:

“What future is decided by my handwriting?”

Answer:

Your future is not decided by your handwriting. Handwriting analysis doesn’t predict future behavior, job performance, or compatibility.

Handwriting analysis outlines personality traits—strengths and challenges—at the time of writing.

However, how often have you met an old friend who you haven’t seen for years and his or her personality has completely changed? Probably never, right?

A person’s overall character tends to remain the same, no matter what you’re told about “reinventing” one’s self. Ingrained fears and defenses, such as varying degrees of rationalization, perfectionism, defiance, vanity, sarcasm, insincerity, and many others, are difficult to modify. Everyone’s personality is unique, comprised of multiple subconscious fears and defenses, and nobody is perfect.

As a business owner, handwriting analysis helps you hire the right person for the job and avoid bad hires. It also helps you minimize the risk in your personal life. An expert graphologist confirming your view, for example, that a particular person may struggle with domineering behavior could save you an enormous amount of time and money.

Handwriting analysis doesn’t predict your future, but I believe it’s one of the most accurate and non-discriminatory forms of personality analysis.

Mercury retrograde takes place March 5th until March 28th.

Typical happenings under this astrological phenomenon include communication mix-ups, delays relating to new plans and ventures, and revisiting the past.

One Mercury retrograde benefit includes finding solutions for long-standing problems.

Be careful with important matters such as weighty decisions and legal contracts because judgment tends to be skewed under Mercury retrograde.

See this page for a thorough list of Mercury retrograde themes and a general timeline.

As mentioned in the linked information above, the approximate three-week period leading up to Mercury retrograde usually involves more challenges than the actual retrograde period.

Mercury retrograde March 2019 details:

1. Mercury goes retrograde 3-5-2019 at 10:18 a.m. PST, 29 degrees 38 minutes Pisces.
2. Mercury goes direct 3-28-2019 at 6:58 a.m. PDT, 16 degrees 5 minutes Pisces.

The bar graph in this post includes the March 2019 Mercury retrograde period, along with other basic astrological events.

Most people realize that mobile and on-line communications aren’t secure. But what if, for example, you need to communicate with a business partner to share confidential information and you can’t meet in person? There are steps you can take to minimize the risk of being targeted by thieves or others who wish to violate your right to privacy.

Below I list one way to, at least temporarily, avoid mobile phone hackers, snoopers, and thieves.

1. Anonymously pay cash for a used, unlocked i-Phone from E-bay, Craigslist, or elsewhere–make sure you have zero relationship with the seller.
2. Restore it to factory settings.
3. Buy a pre-paid SIM card with cash. Install it in the i-Phone. Use the SIM card/associated cellular service only one time to set up secure chat apps, such as Signal (see below). From that point on, avoid using cell service with this i-Phone and SIM card–only use public Wi-Fi, preferably a safe distance from your residence or office.
4. Create an anonymous e-mail account using a public (or one not linked to you in any way) computer, such as at an Internet cafe or public library. This is used to get an anonymous i-Tunes account.
5. Buy an i-Tunes gift card with cash. This is used to download secure chat apps, such as Signal. Only communicate using secure chat apps.
6. Purchase (with a gift card you buy with cash) and download a VPN (virtual private network) from Private Internet Access https://www.privateinternetaccess.com or another trusted VPN service. Always use the VPN while using the phone.
7. Keep Wi-Fi and phone turned off when you aren’t using it.

These steps will make it a lot more difficult for eavesdroppers to track you and, or steal your proprietary information.

Note: If you are involved in illegal activity, U.S. federal agencies will be able to surveil you no matter what you do. The above steps are for those who are trying to keep their legitimate and legal communications private.

If you avoid illegal activity but three-letter agency bureaucrats (or security industry contractors, or others) are abusing their power and eavesdropping on your private communications for personal gain, you may want to hire a good “white hat hacker” to try to track down the offender.

To determine if your computer system or phone has been modified (e.g., covert installation of a key logger program), search the Internet for “Has my computer system (or mobile phone) been modified?” or “How to determine if I’ve been hacked?” You’ll find step-by-step instructions (complex and time consuming, but worth it) to determine if you’ve been hacked.

The results of the queries may yield hacking programs on your system such as “com.spsecure.euseragent.plist” which is Spector Pro, a type of monitoring software. Hire an ethical, white hat hacker to review the list of the programs from your queries.

If you find that you’ve been hacked, avoid removing the hacking program until you’ve contacted the police and a lawyer and they document evidence of the illegal act.

Alternatively, you may want to keep the monitoring program on your system to mislead the watchers, making them believe you’re unaware of it, while using an alternative system for private communications. 

Just like tapping someone’s land-line phone, hacking into another person’s private affairs via their mobile phone or computer, including the implementation of monitoring and key-logger software, violates eavesdropping laws in the United States and is a felony offense.

Block or mislead snoopers with the advice above to limit your risk and keep your affairs private.

A lunar eclipse occurs January 20, 2019. It’s exact by degree at 9:16 p.m. PST, 00 degrees 51 minutes Leo.

This lunar eclipse transpires in less than a week, but three to four weeks before an eclipse and a few days after is roughly the window of time that eclipse-related issues manifest. Thus, avoid excessive risk during this period.

See this blog post for more information about limiting your overall risk during an eclipse.

Judgment tends to be defective during eclipse periods. Be more careful with important decisions, avoid reckless behavior, and remember that your perspective on any given matter may change after the eclipse period.

The bar graph in this blog post includes the January 20, 2019 lunar eclipse, along with other basic astrology events.

An individual consistently predicting the precise timing of ups and downs of various financial markets could undoubtedly become the richest person on the planet.

Thus far, nobody has managed to regularly identify the exact timing of the financial markets’ peaks and valleys.

Fantastic claims abound on Wall Street, but “The history of financial forecasts is long. and it is pathetic. Twenty-two chief market strategists at major banks predict the S&P 500’s annual performance at the start of every year. The average difference between their forecast and what the market actually does is 14.7 percentage points per year. If, instead, you blindly assume the S&P 500 goes up by its historic average every year, the error is lower – 14.1 percentage points. The history of predicting recessions and interest rates and economic growth is just as bad.”

An aside, The Hulbert Financial Digest is a gold mine of information to check financial professionals’ 10, 15, and 20-year (and more) documented track records.

In 2010 I published this blog post regarding a financial market crash.

It appears I’ve missed the mark on that prediction, since the traditional markets have not crashed as of today, 11-28-2018. I did say “…as late as 2018,” but in about a month that window will be closed. Perhaps I got the general idea correct, but my timing is early.

As for seeing in the astrology and numerology charts of scores of individuals’ collective timing suggesting financial loss during that 2016—2018 period, it may, in part, relate to crypto-currency speculation.

An August 20, 2018 Motley Fool article illustrates the crypto-currency financial collapse: “…this year has turned virtual currencies on their heads. Following a continuation of the rally during the first week of January that took the aggregate market cap to as high as $835 billion, digital currencies have since lost more than three-quarters of their value.” That’s more than a 75% decrease and $600 billon in losses.

“Following the explosion in cryptocurrency popularity during 2017, almost 1,000 different cryptocurrencies have already died so far in 2018. In fact, some financial experts see only a couple dozen digital tokens surviving the coming changes to the market in the coming years.”

There have always been and will always be boom and bust cycles. People tend to forget about past downturns, almost everyone gets on board for the good-time boom, and then the bubble bursts.

My findings show that individual fate is much easier to predict than collective, universal fate, such as the overall direction of the stock market.

Case in point: in August 2014 I said this about super-star billionaire hedge fund manager, Edward Lampert.

“I recall reading about hedge fund manager Eddie Lampert, featured in Forbes magazine several years    ago. I was impressed with his successful track record; his fund was worth more than $15 billion in 2006.

“As I always do with interesting people, I looked into his charts back then. The collection of disturbing, long-term time cycles in his not-too-distant future made me think at that time, ‘Those patterns don’t in any way equate to the type of success he’s enjoying right now.’

“Since 2006, Eddie Lampert’s $15 billion fund has declined in value more than 60%. Although it’s unfortunate, his fall from grace was foreseeable, from my perspective. Considering he remains a self-made billionaire, perhaps ‘fall from grace’ isn’t an appropriate description of his plight.

 “In 2006, people were calling him the next Warren Buffet, but no longer. Eddie Lampert will probably maintain his billionaire status, but his collective timing tells me his 2006 peak won’t be revisited, at least where he ranked relative to his peers in the industry and those on the Forbes 400 list of the worlds wealthiest people.”

An October 2018 New York Times article said this about Mr. Lampert: “With the bankruptcy this week of Sears Holdings, which he has run as chief executive and chairman since 2013, Mr. Lampert, now 56, was back on the nation’s front pages. The coverage has been as damning as it was once fawning.

“Thanks to his early successes, Mr. Lampert is still very, very rich; his fortune today is estimated at $1.1 billion, according to the latest Forbes survey…he no longer makes the cut for Forbes’s 400 richest Americans. His net worth has plunged by $3 billion since peaking at $4.5 billion in 2007…”

I’m happy for Edward Lampart that he is still a billionaire, and I dislike highlighting people’s troubles, but it was necessary in this case to illustrate my view that it’s much easier to predict individual financial fate than financial market ups and downs.
