Let me share a quote from the “Forecasts for 1996” book that was written 13 years ago:
But based upon these assumptions… there is not likely to be a major world war, nor nuclear holocaust, nor world wide economic collapse, nor major collapse of a political system that strongly influences the course of Humankind for the next twelve years minimum… Why 2008-2011? That is because there are no periods of time in which multiple aspects between the major long-term planets form in cardinal signs until then. And what happens then? Pluto ingresses into Capricorn, Uranus into Aries, Saturn into Libra. In addition, the Moon’s North Node will also move back into Capricorn. The last time these three planets (and Node) were all in Cardinal signs was 1967-72 and 1929-1931.
I bring this up for one very important reason. It is not because I, the Financial Astrologer, am so great. It is because astrology itself is such a valuable tool for society. In these turbulent times, Mundane and Financial Astrologers are oftentimes asked, “Well, if astrology works, why didn’t it predict this chaos we are now going through?” The fact is that in every Forecast Book written since 1995, this period of time beginning in 2008 was pointed out as one of the most significant anyone would ever live through in a lifetime. And the implication was always that it would be cathartic in terms of finances and economics, and probably other aspects of the human experience. Yet even though I was (to my knowledge) the first to specifically identify this important period of time, and the first to refer to it as the “Cardinal Climax,” this potent planetary line up could have been identified by any astrologer even decades before I identified it in a book written in 1991 titled: “Evolutionary Astrology: The Journey of the Soul Through States of Consciousness” (

And so here we are, on the verge of a planetary “climax” that has been known for many years by anyone who studies the relationship of planetary movements to cycles in human activity. I would like to say this chaos will end quickly, but I cannot state that. My view is that this transformative period will last at least three years (this is the first year), maybe as many as seven years, and possibly even more. It is not the end of the world, but I believe it is the end of an era as we have known it, just as the 1920’s were the end of an era as we had known it.
