However, this may be a good time to be in.  We are currently under a strong Jupiter/Neptune conjunction.  This aspect says that we are deluded about growth and as such will probably look for anything to tell us times are good and getting better.  This signature will be in effect off and on for a few months.  &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Look for turns in the market in late July and then in September.  When the Saturn/Uranus opposition comes back, we will likely see growth stop and new fears come forward.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;The short term looks good ( with bumpy patches), the long term does not.  I still expect two things:&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&amp;lt;6000 DJIA&lt;br/&gt;&gt;$2000 Gold&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;We won’t see these for a while.  If Gold breaks $1K in June, expect $1200 or more by fall.  If not, it will retreat to $850 range.  I expect a pullback.  Gold may reach $1500+ next year though.   Be prepared for September.  All the economic monkey business we have been engaged in will start to become a reality and people will start to be concerned.  &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;The above is NOT investment advice and is presented as a picture of current astrological weather and how it affects markets and the masses.</description>
