My Star-Gazing: Scientific Vedic Astrological Forecast Nov/2013

Hi Friends,
I will be resuming my monthly Astrological Forecasts & may not post the full version on the groups forum as it may not be relevant to the forum at large - However the full monthly forecasts will become available monthly on my Blog.


Wow - what an amazing alignment of stars - These are rare events / once in a lifetime & the changes they bring about - leave their mark in history.

November-2013 - some significant events :

Saturn Exalted in Libra (7) at 20 degrees on Nov/4 

Saturn reaches its exaltation in Libra on Nov/4 & completes its circle around the Zodiac in about 28-30 years. This is a significant event in itself.
So you may not be around to witness the event - when this happens the next time after 30 years.
Now here is what brings even more significance & mystery to this event.

1. Total Solar Eclipse on Nov/3. 



As per Astrology - the Moon looses its power & luster to the Sun during a solar eclipse, however the power of the Sun is also greatly diminished during this time as well.

2. Sun transits Libra - Oct/17 to Nov/15 - is debilitated.
The Sun is most debilitated 10 degrees in Libra & at the time of the Solar Eclipse - The Sun is 17 degrees Libra on Nov/3 & highly debilitated & weak.

3. Conjunction of Saturn, Rahu, Mercury, The Sun & the Moon - Nov/3
The Sun and Moon will be conjunct at 17° Libra during the Solar eclipse, retrograde Mercury will be with Rahu exactly conjunct at 13° Libra and Saturn will be approaching its exact degree of exaltation at 19° Libra. These five planetary bodies are all placed within 7 degrees of one another, making this a rather dramatic eclipse.
The Sun & the Moon are very weak at this point and are at the mercy of a Powerful Exalted Saturn & a powerful Rahu.
These are rare events and influence world events. Expect the unexpected.

Once the Sun moves into Scorpio - Nov/16, things will change for the better. Until then, brace for rough weather ahead & tighten those seat belts.

Best Regards,

Manitoba Economy Booming /changes to- Manitoba Provincial Immigrant Nominee Program // 1,000's jobs posted in MB today..

Hello Friends,
Here below is news about the Booming Economy in Manitoba.
New immigrants who have no roots yet in Canada are free to settle where ever there is maximum opportunity with respect to - jobs, future growth prospects and good quality of life, less urban crowding.
To those people - I will suggest that the prairie provinces offer the maximum opportunity in terms of sustained growth in the coming years.
Farming in the Prairie Provinces is a major contributor to the local economy & eventhough many of our Indo-Candian Professionals are reluctant farmers & may not even know the difference between a Harrow & a Plough. However farming is a very viable occupation and very profitable business enterprise & recession proof. With growing populations all around the world, food shortages & scarcity & rising prices - farming is an ever-green industry in Canada over the next 100 years.
Manitoba offers - low cost of living, the the local economy is strong - providing ample opportunity for new immigrants to find jobs.
Cost of Housing is also almost half the prices compared to the big cities of Ontario.
=======================================================================================================================

A note for all new immigrants & potential immigrants -
Now with the new federal immigration rules - it is next to impossible to bring your Parents & siblings (brothers, sisters, cousins) in Canada for Permanent residence - due to the new federal guidelines - that route is still open to you through the Manitoba Provincial Nominee Program, if you are a resident of that province for 1year or more - you can still sponsor your siblings & Parents.


Manitoba Supporters - Friends, distant & “close” relatives

A Manitoba Supporter is a Canadian citizen or permanent resident who is economically established and has been living in Manitoba continuously for at least one year, who has ties to Manitoba stronger than to another province, and who is not currently supporting the settlement of another MPNP applicant or nominee or person in another Canadian immigration program.

All supporters must provide proof of residence. “Close” relatives must also prove their familial relationship to the applicant.

Winnipeg's economy ranked 3rd in National Survey

Winnipeg has been ranked in third place in a national survey of 25 city economies, and the local area’s leaders cite employment and housing among the key reasons.
Manitoba’s capital is behind only Toronto and Kitchener, Ont. on the latest CIBC Metropolitan Economic Activity Index, and is just ahead of Regina and Montreal on the scale based on factors including population and employment growth, personal and business bankruptcies as well as real estate activity and building permits.

Manitoba is booming.
Statistics Canada released annual demographic estimates for the provinces today, reporting Manitoba had its highest growth in nearly 30 years.
The population as of July 1, 2010 was 1,235,400 — 15,900 more people than the preceding year and a growth rate of 1.3 per cent, according to Stats Can. That's the highest growth rate for the province since 1982-83.
Net international migration (1,200) in 2009/2010 was the highest observed in Manitoba since 1971.
The province received close to 14,100 immigrants in 2009/2010, the fourth year in a row the province recorded more than 10,000 immigrants. That's credited mainly to Manitoba's use of the Provincial Nominee Program, an economic program that allows provinces to select immigrants with the training, work experience and language skills that can be put to use here.

The coming shortage in physical Gold & Silver/ Premiums on Paper vs Physical Gold surges to about 20% in India

Simplifying the Jargon in Plain English - Economic, Political & Astrological perspectives at : Rahul's Café Canadian 

Hello Friends,
Repeating the previous concerns.
Physical Gold & Silver hold more value than paper & there is evidence of the shortages of actual physical delivery in Precious metals and we must not ignore the ground realities.

There is a huge disconnect between the Paper Markets (Satta / speculators ) & the Ground realities with physical demand from India & China creating a supply shortage in Bullion.

Some recent events happened last week - which are hard to ignore & very amusing :
"...early in the week, a sell order for 600,000 oz. gold crushed bullion prices and before trading Friday Oct/11, a 5000 unit sell of futures on COMEX briefly stopped trading and knocked gold down from $1305 to $1267 / oz....."

Precious Metals Paradox: Good Fundamentals Help And Hurt - Seeking Alpha
http://seekingalpha.com/article/1742782-precious-metals-paradox-good-fundamentals-help-and-hurt?source=google_news
This 600k oz sell order is equivalent to over 19 Metric Tons of Gold. Does anyone even have those surplus quantities available or is it just Paper flying around.
Firstly we need to know who has such surplus quantities of Gold to sell & if at all you have those quantities available, then why would they want to offload all that quantity in one day on an already depressed market = does'nt make any sense.
We all know its the speculators & market manipulators & those with vested interests who do not wish to see the Bullion prices rise.

However the time is coming - when people will loose faith in the paper markets. As we all know they are being manipulated.
Take a look on the other side of the Ocean & have a look at the actual physical demand vs shortage in physical supply of Bullion.



Take a look at the above chart & understand for yourself the ground realities as they exist.
COMEX New York Spot Price of Gold = $1272
Indian Gold Bullion prices physical delivery = + 10% Gov't Import duty + 18.33% Premium for physical delivery (above the spot price) = $1632.36 per oz (equivalent to approx Rs 32,400 per 10 grams)

Yet people are lining up to buy physical Gold that they can hold in their hands, as they expect future supply shortage.

Traders & speculators may continue to sell truck loads of paper gold in the market to depress the prices. However the disconnect between the physical Bullion & paper markets will continue to widen, until there is no more physical bullion left to be sold at these low prices.
Wake up & smell the coffee.
Hold onto your physical metal & wait till the prices spike before you decide to sell any.

My Star-Gazing: Scientific Vedic Astrological Forecast Oct/2013

Hi Friends,
I will be resuming my monthly Astrological Forecasts & may not post the full version on the groups forum as it may not be relevant to the forum at large - However the full monthly forecasts will become available monthly on my Blog.


Recent Astrological Events have been very interesting - some of the important ones that you may have missed out recently were as under :
Venus transits own sign Libra - Sep/5 to Oct/2 - Those with favourable Venus were blessed with gains & wealth.
Kaal Sarp Yog - Jul/30 to Aug/14 - All planets were hemmed within the axis of Rahu & Ketu - Caused general suffering, loss of wealth & health, misfortune.
Mars transits in Cancer - Aug/18 to Oct/5 - debilitated in Cancer - it caused a lot of frustrations, injuries, accidents, etc.

October-2013 - some significant events :
Mars enters Leo - Oct/5 to Nov/25
This is favourable as Leo is a friendly sign. As Mars initiates & helps to get the ball rolling. All those projects that have piled on & not moving - can now start rolling with a initiative from Mars - at-least the first 2 weeks of October are favourable.

Sun transits Libra - Oct/17 to Nov/15
Sun is debilitated in Libra & its powers are diminished. You may have to eat the humble pie for a few days. You may not fully agree with your Bosses / Managers & there may be a chance of conflict - so keep a low profile & take the setbacks in your stride.

Mercury Retrograde (in Backward motion) in Libra - Oct/21 to Nov/10
Retrograde motion is when it APPEARS as though a planet is actually moving in a backward motion due to the relation of the planet to the earth in its particular position at a certain point in time.
Retrograde motion pulls back and gives you an opportunity to take care of your past (old business). The past that needs to be resolved is directly related to the planet involved.

Mercury's retrograde motion is in Libra. Mercury in Libra is also conjunct with exalted Saturn & Rahu - This conjunction is an explosive combination.
Mercury is the Lord of communication & commerce. The retrograde motion may mute our communication abilities - try talking underwater - your mouth is moving, yet nobody can hear you. What you say may not be properly heard or understood by the other party.

Exalted Saturn on the other hand wants to open your eyes to the reality & wants to tear down the blind folds - those walls which we built to hide - Saturn will tear those down.
May not be a good time to start new projects. Energy & confidence may be subdued due to a weakened Sun. However its a good time for introspection, reflecting on the past, soul searching. Best time to clean up the Garage & pick up those fallen dead leaves & enjoy the fall.
