Free market commentary: planetary returns - the master tool of forecasting

What I present to you in this article is really dynamite...It is an easy to use but very powerful tool for long-term forecasts, even without astrological knowledge. I also want to highlight the background of some Amanita forecasts, e.g. the call since 2010 that Switzerland is the very last location to park capital on this planet.

Introduction of the concept

Planetary returns are well-known in astrology but dont get the attention they deserve, with the exception of the Saturn return at the age of 29.5 years. Every planet (sun & moon are also called planets in astrology) has a specific period of revolution, after which it returns to its initial spot in the sky. The birthday of a person is the solar return, i.e. the return of the sun to the birth degree. Solar returns are valid for one life year & are calculated for the exact moment of the solar return. My research has shown that the returns of the 4 slow planets (planetoids) are the most important: Chiron, Uranus, Neptune & Pluto. This approach is so straightforward that it is easily understood by everybody & so simple that it also fulfills Ockhams razor, Wikipedia on that (Link): The term "Occam's razor" was coined in 1852, attributing the principle to the 14thcentury English logician, theologian and Franciscan friar Father William of Ockham (d'Okham), although the principle was known earlier. The principle is often incorrectly summarized as "other things being equal, a simpler explanation is better than a more complex one." In practice, the application of the principle often shifts the burden of proof in a discussion. The razor asserts that one should proceed to simpler theories until simplicity can be traded for greater explanatory power. The simplest available theory need not be most accurate.

Planet ranking of importance

1. Neptune (164.79 years): strongest, both for human suffering in general (to let go of everything that is put higher than god, as that is an aggression against the universe) & for the financial sector in particular, especially for inflation. 2. Pluto (247.68 years): also quite strong. In the year 1720 there was the first big fiat money by John Law, one Pluto cycle later we had a global fiat standard for the first time in history. In both cases Pluto was squaring (90) the Galactic Center. 3. Chiron (50.67 years): quite often rather accurate ( +/- 1 year) & surprisingly strong, presumably because its a half of the 100-year cycle. The round numbers like 100, 1000 are the ost powerful in the markets, by far.

Free Amanita Newsletter Copyright Manfred Zimmel http://www.amanita.at page 4 of 16

4. Uranus return (84.01 years) & half return of Neptune: Uranus is likely so important because it aligns with the half Neptune (82.4 years). 5. half returns of trans-Saturn planets (opposition 180): only clusters, i.e. 2-3 half return aligning 6. Jupiter (11.862 years): astonishingly powerful, and excellent for the finetuning 7. Saturn (29.458 years): normally not meaningful but quite often exact, i.e. +/- months.

In the past years we have seen a deep transformation of astrological patterns: many are weaker than in the past, totally different or even exactly the opposite. In contrast, numerology is getting more important because we are in the process of re-creating the world. Numerology is anchored mainly in the 6 th dimension (the highest tangible dimension) while astrology operates mainly from the 4 th dimension.

World economy examples

Lets begin with the discussion of long-term charts, which are mainly from Reinhart & Rogoff (Link). The inflation high of the world (i.e. Europe + US) in the 19th century was around 1815, the 20th century high exactly 1x Neptune later around 1980. In both cases Neptune transited over the Galactic Center! The 5-year average of big currency depreciations (more than 15%) shows two distinct spikes in the past 210 years, separated by one Neptune cycle (165 years): around 1820 after the Napoleon Wars & then in the 1980s.

A more detailed chart also confirms the importance of the Uranus cycle (84 years)

Free Amanita Newsletter Copyright Manfred Zimmel http://www.amanita.at page 5 of 16

resp. of the half Neptune (82 years). The two peaks in red were timed by Uranus in opposition (180) to the Galactic Center.

The same pattern can be found in financial crises, in the chart below Asia is listed separately. Note the last peak during WW2, so the next culmination point of financial crises is due in the early 2020s especially in Asia. 2021-23 is 1x Uranus/ 0.5x Neptune after the outbreak of WW1.

The chart for external sovereign defaults looks somewhat different, but again the turning points are ruled by Neptune & Chiron. Similarly, the next default peak is due in the 2020s, after the last peak in 1940s. 2006-7 was the low of Uranus & the half Chiron, so the next minimum of defaults is due in the 2030s.

Planetary returns in financial markets

The same pattern can be found in equities in the 19th century mainly the British stock market was decisive because of the UK empire. Note that the most important long-term turns have hits to Neptune & partly also to Pluto, the less important ones only to the faster planets (Uranus is in-between). 1982/83 weak low (key low in the 2nd half of the 20th century): * 1x Chiron after the key low of the 20th century in 1932 * 2x Chiron after the 1884 low 1999/2000 strong high (inflation-adjusted all-time highs): * 6x Jupiter after the high 9/1929 * 1.5x Uranus & 2.5x Chiron after the high 1873 (in a very wide orb also 1x Pluto) * 1x Neptune & 14x Jupiter after the key equity high of the 19th century (1835) * 5.5x Chiron, 9.5x Saturn & 24x Jupiter after the high 1720 2009/10 strong low: 2 days after the bear market bottom 3/9/09 (key low of the past 77 years) the Amanita market service called for the biggest bull market in our lifetime: * 2x Chiron after the crash bottom in late 1907 * 3x Chiron after the important low 1859 * 1x Neptune, 2x Uranus & 14x Jupiter after the key low of the 19th century in 1842 * 19x Jupiter after the low 1784 * 1x Pluto & 1.5x Neptune after the most important low of the 18th century 1763/64 (after the Amsterdam crash double-bottom with 1784) 2013-15 high of average importance: * 0.5x Saturn after the high 3/2000 * 0.5x Chiron after the high 8/1987 * 1x Chiron & 3.5x Jupiter after the high 1/1973

The dollar (6/22/1775) experienced the biggest challenge in the past century with the Neptune return in 1940. Some interesting comments of the mass murder Churchill on this topic: Germany's unforgivable crime before the second world war," Churchill said," was her attempt to extricate her economic power from the world's trading system and to

Free Amanita Newsletter Copyright Manfred Zimmel http://www.amanita.at page 9 of 16

create her own exchange mechanism which would deny world finance its opportunity to profit. [] We will force this war upon Hitler, if he wants it or not. This war is an English war and its goal is the destruction of Germany. We could have, if we had intended so, prevented this war from breaking out without doing one shot, but we didn't want to. Jupiter is truly important: in the past 19 years we had 4 outstanding gold highs, separated by one Jupiter cycle: 10/1999 & 8-9/2011, 2/1996 & 3/2008. Moreover, 2 of the 3 key lows of the past 19 years are explained by 1x Jupiter: 7-8/1999 & 912/2011. Its more or less the same with 2 of the 3 key equity highs of the past 25 years: 1-3/2000 & 7/2011 (retest). The highs 8/1987 & 5/2011 before crashes were also exactly connected by 2 Jupiter cycles. 2 of the 4 key equity bottoms of the past 25 years are connected by 1x Jupiter: 10/1990 & 10/2002. The returns of Jupiter & Saturn are often quite precise (+/- months), the window of the slow planets is +/- 1 year, with the topic of the crisis shaping up about 2 years before the return. The oppositions (180) of Jupiter to the Galactic center (start date 1776.4) are a precise indication for the biggest challenges for mankind in history, as the Central Sun is the central clock for the galaxy: 1918.7: biggest & fastest wave of dying in history (Spanish flu with some 50 million victims) 1930.6: beginning of biggest depression in history 1942.5: US entering WW2, biggest slaughtering in history 1989.9: Japan as the second biggest economic power starts a depression that so far has lasted 22 years 2001.8: 9/11 trauma & biggest bear market in decades 2007.7 (0.5x): biggest real estate bubble in history bursts, all-time high stock indices & beginning of 2nd major depression 2013.6: myriads of factors are pointing to August 2013 2019.6 (half return): 2020/21 biggest wave of dying in decades or many thousands of years (fall of Atlantis), with the conjunction of Jupiter & Pluto & exactly 2x Chiron after the 1918/19 wave (Link)? 2025.5: maximum global political transformation?

The cycle of Jupiter to the Galactic center is also the master constellation for all longterm stock market highs in history, as depicted by the chart below (one has to allow a fairly large orb). For years wild speculations have been circulating that the late Taurus/ early Gemini zone is the key, but this is nonsense from an empirical point of view. The Galactic Center is always the key, in the end times much more than before, beginning with the August 7, 1972 Sirian experiment (link). The most important inflation-adjusted highs (in the 20th century 1929, 1966, 2000) were printed with the opposition (180), the somewhat less important highs were nailed by the conjunction (0) as the bull market high in 2007. Again a super-important high is due around August 2013.

Wars
Wars are *the* ultimate meta factor for all world forecasts, because they change all rules from scratch, much more than anything else. I have no doubt they are totally ruled by the planetary returns, too: in the year 1207 the most bloody war of the 2nd millennium started, when measured in terms of world population (Mongol conquests). 3 of the 4 other big wars since the first millennium were timed by the Neptune-returns (+/- a few years): 2.5x Neptune Manchu conquest of China 1618 1x Eris Seven Years War 1756-63 (actually the first world war) Eris is a higher vibration of the war planet Mars 4x Neptune Taiping Rebellion 1851-64 4.5x Neptune WW2 1939-45 The 2020s are 0.5x Neptune after the end of WW2.

The An Lushan Rebellion 755-763 is the biggest war in terms of world population known by official history writing (without Atlantean wars). WW1 started 7x Neptune afterwards. Of course, the global war peaks of the 17 th, 18./19th & 20th century are 1x Neptune apart: 1618 1783 1947 (Chart: Wikipedia). With the new insights the global war peak between the middle of the 20th & the middle of the 21st century is now expected for 2017-23, aligning with the beginning of the new Kondratieff wave around 2022/23.

Country forecasts
The same principles can be applied to national forecasting, where major returns of a state horoscope are a SELL signal for investors in the 1-2 years before & afterwards. Reinhart/ Rogoff list the big 5 financial crises since WW2, which were all timed by planetary returns: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. beginning in 1992 Japan (2/11/1889): 1x Chiron, 3.5x Saturn beginning in 1977 Spain (1/19/1479): 2x Pluto, 6x Uranus, 3x Neptune beginning in 1987 Norway (6/7/1905): 1x Uranus, 0.5x Neptune beginning in 1991 Finland (12/6/1917): 1.5x Chiron, 2.5x Saturn beginning in 1991 Sweden (12/7/1865): 2.5x Chiron, 1.5x Uranus, 0.5x Pluto. Interestingly, 2x Neptune before the Scandinavian crisis (around 1991) a private central bank in Stockholm was allowed to issue money in 1661. Exactly 3x Uranus after 1661 (~1x Pluto) the Fed was founded in 1913.

The returns even explain the crises of entire continents. We had 6 waves of state formations: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 1775/76 US, world 1821 South America: 11 of the 18 important South American countries 1917/18 Eastern Europe with Poland & Finland, Russia, China 1947/48 Asia, Welt (UN, World Bank): 6 of 8 Asian countries including China 1960/61 Africa: 9 of the 13 important African countries 1989/90 Eastern Europe & successor states of the Soviet Union

In the past decades we had some waves of crises restricted to certain continents:

Free Amanita Newsletter Copyright Manfred Zimmel http://www.amanita.at page 12 of 16

1980s Latin American crisis: 1x Neptune after the independence of most South American nations around 1821 late 1990s crisis in Asia & Eastern Europe, Russia default: 1x Chiron after the Asian founding wave in the late 1940s, 1x Uranus after the founding wave in Eastern Europe in 1917/18 from 2009 on European crisis: 1x Chiron after the founding of the EUSSR (1/1/1958 Treaty of Rome) 2011 crisis in the Middle East/ Africa (revolutions & most wars globally since WW2): 1x Chiron after the independence of most African states in 1960/61 2020s worldwide crisis, especially US & Asia (focus on China, Japan & Russia)? 1x Pluto after the US foundation (7/4/1776), 1x Uranus after the foundation wave in 1947/48 with the focus in Asia.

For years the crowd madness has been obsessed with the demise of Europe since 2010, however, the challenges of the future are somewhere else. The key nations in the order of their collapse: 1. Europe: Europe has experienced some returns the past years which explains the trouble. Highlights: 1x Chiron EU (3/25/1957 or 1/1/1958 Treaty of Rome), 1x Jupiter after introduction of euro (1/1/1999, cash on 1/1/2002). The Latin Monetary Union (12/23/1865) as the harbinger of the euro was dead during WW2 after 1x Chiron, the euro monstrosity already failed after 1x Jupiter. Of course its not a coincidence that the treaty was signed in Rome, as the elites want to create a Roman Empire 2.0. John mentions the Whore of Babylon as a symbol for evil in his apocalyptic visions, which obviously refers to the Roman Empire. The euro is an insult in the eyes of god. 2. Japan (2/11/1889 constitution): the next shoe to drop * 1939.8 Chiron 1x: WW2 biggest trauma in Japanese history, with nuclear bombs. The other horoscope of Japan is 2/11/660 B.C., referring to the sun goddess Amaterasu: 1940/41 was exactly 10.5x Pluto afterwards (Pluto = nuclear power). * 1990.4 Chiron 2x (1989.9 Jupiter 8.5x & 1992.2 Saturn 3.5x): crash of stocks & real estate, the boom lasting for almost a half century was over * 2012.9 Pluto 0.5x, 2015.1 Uranus 1.5 & 2015.8 Chiron 2.5x: The decline began in 2011 with Fukushima (Pluto = nuclear power). Radioactivity soared to new all-time highs in Fukushima in 2012. But Japan has been in demise for 22 years, so this call is nothing to write home about. 3. China (1/1/1912 Republic): queuing up right after Japan * 1962.7 Chiron 1x: in the early 1960s China went through the most critical period since the revolution 1948, with famines killing 10-40 million citizens, followed by the cultural revolution. * 2013.3 Chiron 2x: The China (real estate) bubble already bursts, the deteriorating payment morale of Chinese companies has been widely discussed this year. Certainly the China bubble is light years worse than the Japan bubble of the 1980s. The biggest short-seller Jim Chanos points out that real estate now accounts for 50-70% of the Chinese economy, which is much bigger than the 30% of Japan in the late 1980s. Demographics are a catastrophe for China the coming 10-20 years because of the one-child policy introduced in 1980 (0.5x Uranus after the Peoples Republic 10/1/1949). 4. Switzerland (9/12/1848 Constitution): coinciding with China, but much more

Free Amanita Newsletter Copyright Manfred Zimmel http://www.amanita.at page 13 of 16

intense * 2000.7 Chiron: gold standard abolished on 5/1/2000, which was the biggest defeat in the Swiss history until this year & Switzerlands first coffin nail. * 2013.5 Neptune & 2016.7 Uranus: Of all major states only Switzerland experiences the return of Neptune, the by far worst omen. With the return of Uranus in 2016/17 Switzerland could even be torn into pieces and/ or parts of Switzerland could become an NWO special administrative region. The topics of the Uranus returns are freedom, revolution, secession, self-determination & slavery. A good example is the multiethnic state Austria-Hungary, which crumbled in late 1918, resulting in many successor states. 84 years on 4/16/03 many of these states decided to give up their freedom to be ruled by EU dictators. 5. Brazil (2/24/1891 Constitution): In the case of Brazil the returns do start a little bit later in 2014/15: 2015.0 Pluto 0.5x, 2017.2 Uranus 1.5x & 2017.8 Chiron 2.5x. 6. USA (7/4/1776): The US experienced the only Civil War & war on her own soil 1x Uranus after declaring independence. Again 1x Uranus later (1941.3) there was the only attack from enemies against the US on her soil (Pearl Harbor). 3x Uranus is due 2028.5: in the 2020s the US will be torn into pieces & the 800+ concentration camps will be full (at least this is the NWO plan of the reptiles). The plans have been prepared for a long time & are getting more & more concrete (Link). The world horoscope 1776.4 is almost identical with the US & the dollar within this method, so we need other reference points to make calls for the US in particular. The US already had some unofficial bankruptcies, which suggest the danger window opens as soon as 2016/17: * In 1865 the Southern states did not honor their obligations: 2017 is 3x Chiron later. * In 1893 the US almost defaulted on its debt: 2017 is 0.5x Pluto afterwards, 2019 Uranus 1.5x. * In 1971 it was decided to pay back in worthless paper instead of gold, a 100% default: 2021/22 is 1x Chiron later. 7. Russia (11/8/1917): * 2000.2 Neptune 0.5x (2001.9 Uranus 1x): At the turn of the millennium Russia defaulted in 1998 & nearly again in 1999, so this was the worst crisis in Russian history since WW2. * 2019.2 Chiron 2x (2021.0 Saturn 3.5x) 8. Germany (1/18/1871 German Reich) & almost identical France (9/4/1870 Third Republic): * 1921.7 Chiron: Weimar hyperinflation * 1994.9, 1997.1 & 1997.7 half return of Pluto, Uranus & Chiron: In the late 1990s Germany was the sick man of Europe, with the biggest economic crisis since WW2 because of the reunification. The German unemployment rate topped at almost 10% in 1997/98, France also had the unemployment peak of the past decades in 1997 (11%). * 2023.1 Chiron: German bubble bursts. The horoscope of the Zollverein 1/1/1834 (customs & currency union) is also important: accidentally the next currency union was launched 1x Neptune 165 years later on 1/1/1999, cash was introduced exactly 2x Uranus later (168 years) Germany was weak

Free Amanita Newsletter Copyright Manfred Zimmel http://www.amanita.at page 14 of 16

because of the euro introduction until 2003-4, but since the end of the difficult constellations in 2005 the DAX has been the undisputed #1 in Europe. 9. India (8/15/1947 Independence): longest without major returns * 1998.3 Chiron: This return was rather benign, still 1988/99 was politically the most dangerous time of the past 60 years as tensions with Pakistan mounted, even with the danger of a nuclear war. Still the Indian stock markets was terribly weak from the mid- to late 1990s (-40% bear market) while the rest of the world (ex Japan) was going through the roof. * 2030-36 Neptune, Uranus, Saturn: This is a major reason why India is my favorite into the 2020s. In addition, demography is by far best for India (Link). Another reason is the mid-August birth of the nation: in the end times everything is governed by the 20-year earth rhythm due on August 12. India & Germany will decide the fate of mankind! These planetary returns are an important reason why long-term SELLS for Switzerland, China, Japan & Brazil have been given since 2010 (in the premium area). The SELL is weak in the case of China & Brazil, strong for the Japan & the mother of all SELLs for Switzerland. Since the pegging of the franc to the most ugly of all fiat monsters on 9/6/11, the crowd slowly gets an impression what is looming. The beginning of todays political-economic system can be dated to mid-1775 through mid-1776, with the center of the world horoscope being 1776.4: 6/22/1775: US dollar (reserve currency) 3/9/1776: Wealth of Nations by Adam Smith as the handbook of capitalism 5/1/1776: illuminati (re-appearance) 7/4/1776: US (economic, political & military super-power)

So its no surprise at all that the biggest man-made bloodshed in history happed around 1941 with the first Neptune return. For the future all eyes are now watching the first Pluto return in 2023/24. All 6 planets return in 2023-2030, which is quite extra-ordinary, although focus period is 2023/24: 1.5x Neptune 2023.6, 1x Pluto 2024.1. The total reorientation of the world should not be finished before the 2020s, its not really starting before August 2013. 0.5x Neptune/ 1x Uranus before the Bank of England was established in 1692 9x Neptune before around 290 the Roman empire was shattered by a hyperinflation. It is very important to understand that we are now in the final (10th) state of the 700year cycle (the collapse). Research on 150 civilizations of the past 11,000 years (Link) has revealed that civilizations follow a cycle of 700 years with 10 phases (Link). The 10th & final phase is the collapse, the last instance of Western society was in the middle of the 14th century, when the Black Death killed half of the European population. So about 650 years ago the current 700-year cycle began, with the first empire to be established by Portugal from 1415 on. 80-100 years ago the 9th stage of the final decline began: 1917 (communism in Russia) & 1933 (National Socialism in Germany). Sorry to the feminists but historically the combination of collectivism (e.g. socialism) & women's liberation was always a sign of the final decline #9 (duration 65 years on average), to be followed by the collapse (10th phase) - which started in 2000-2009. Already Oswald Spengler realized that democracy is nothing but a euphemism for the reign of high finance. We are approaching the reign of money (= yin), to start the decades of the reign of violence (= yang). The life cycle is of

Free Amanita Newsletter Copyright Manfred Zimmel http://www.amanita.at page 15 of 16

civilizations is the same as of hums: very yang at the beginning, very yin at the end.

Application on the micro level

The same principles work in the horoscopes of market participants & other decision makers, which usually are not successful at the age of 29.5 (1x Saturn) & 50.7 (1x Chiron). Nokia (founded on 6/10/1966, first traded 5/18/1987): Nokia is the best known of the fallen corporate angels the past years. In 2007 Nokia still had a global market share of 40% with their cell phones, but has fallen dramatically the past years. The stock collapsed by a nasty 98% in the 5 years 2007-12. In the period 1995-2008 Nokia had no major planetary returns, so Nokia was successful until 2007. In the incorporation chart 2008 was 0.5x Uranus & 2010 1.5x Saturn, in the first-trade chart is 2010/11 2x Jupiter & 0.5x Chiron. In 2016/17 Nokia faces the Chiron return, so the cacophony continues for another 5 years or. The decade afterwards has no returns & thus strength can be expected afterwards (if the company still exists). Competitor Motorola (founded on 9/28/1928) was torn into pieces in 2011 under 1x Uranus, 0.5x Neptune & 7x Jupiter, which did cost shareholders almost half of their investment. Apple (founded on 1/3/1977, first traded 12/12/1980): So we arrive at todays highflyer. Apple has no major return the next 5-6 years, so the cult is likely to continue until 0.5x Uranus in 2018/19. This could also indicate problems for the illuminati & the NWO as Apple is a 100% CIA company (link). Microsoft (founded on 4/4/1975): For a long time Microsoft was the company with the highest capitalization, but in the 1.5 years before & after the Saturn return MSFT lagged the overall market badly (2003-6). Warren Buffett (8/30/1930) had to deal with his Chiron return 1981.3: in 1980 the oracle of Omaha remained a fat 13% behind the benchmark S&P 500, the second worst performance of the past 36 years (Link). The years 2003-7 were also quite weak, as Buffett had 3 half returns 2001.9 & 2006.7. Jim Chanos (12/24/1957) is the bearish pendant to Warren Buffett. Interestingly, Chanos Chiron return (= 'SELL Jim Chanos') was 2008.7. From October 2008/ early 2009 almost all assets went through the roof for more than one year, i.e. this was the most difficult time for short-sellers in the past decades. unnamed: The Swiss precious metals fund with the presumably worst performance in the sector in the past 7 years was founded by the fund manager exactly at the time of his Chiron return. Bill Clinton (8/19/1946): The Lewinsky affair which almost lead to his impeachment & a constitutional crisis started soon after his Chiron return 1997.4. Angela Merkel (7/17/1954): The chancellorship of the physicist Merkel has devastated Germany more than an atomic bomb dropping (only WW2 was worse). Merkel was elected in 2005 at the time of her Chiron return. myself (Manfred Zimmel): 2004.0 was my Saturn return, November 2003 through April 2004 was the second longest period of weakness in the 6 years of the Amanita-Trades (ATs), the drawdown was 8.1%.

Quite often the first Jupiter return is already a major test for a project or a company exactly opposite to the traditional astrological interpretation for a Jupiter-Jupiter conjunction (easy going). At the age of 12 years puberty begins, for most young adults the biggest economic challenge. Amanita Market Forecasting was founded on 12/13/2000: the half Jupiter-return (2006.9) produced the second biggest drawdown (8.9%) in the 6 years of the Amanita trades between September 2006 & January 2007. At present Amanita Market Forecasting goes through the first Jupiter return (2012.8).
