"I understand that eclipses are important in financial astrology, but with just a few eclipses happening each year, why should make such a big deal about them?"

That's a question I've been asked before, and I've gotten it again recently with the publication of my new monograph on "The Solar Eclipse of January 2010: Its Impact on the Markets".

This annular eclipse is coming up on January 15, but why should anybody care about it after that date?

The fact is, solar eclipses do have a big potential impact on market behavior and on the headlines we read in the newspapers. That's especially true in the days nearest the date of the eclipse itself. But solar eclipses also have a lot of influence on other events as well, including events that take place months or even years after the date of the solar eclipse.

There are certainly major geomagnetic forces at work when we get a solar eclipse, but the exact mechanism of the influence that comes from a solar eclipse is still something of a mystery. So the real issue is not so much one of knowing exactly how eclipses work to have such an important impact, but instead one of figuring out what sort of events are the most likely to occur following the eclipse, and then determining the specific dates that bring the strongest potentials for activation of the energy that has coalesced around the time of the eclipse.

That's where my new monograph on "The Solar Eclipse of January 2010: Its Impact on the Markets" comes in to play.

This new report definitely includes some clear forecasting sections, but the forecasts it features go far beyond the eclipse time itself on January 15, 2010. And there's a lot more included that will make this a valuable document for many months to come, including:

* A complete analysis of eclipse charts and eclipse paths

* Studies of 11 historic eclipses that specifically relate to the January 15 eclipse

* More than 150 specific dates when paricular eclipse activations can occur

* In-depth analysis of the six most important times when the eclipse energy culminates

* 60 astrological charts, market charts, and illustrations

* A detailed market forecast inlduing profitable trading strategies

* A review of the amazing track record of eclipse-based astro-trading

* A detailed look at the impact of the solar eclipse on the U.S. dollar

* The specific geographic locations most strongly impacted by the January 15 solar eclipse

* Six potentially profitable stocks to consider trading just after this eclipse for short-term profit

* A review of Gold and an in-depth consideration of one specific commodity that will be of maximum interest to traders during the six-month period following the eclipse

* A month-by-month projection of the eclipse's effects on the market

* And much, much more!

I know that sounds like a lot, and it is. In fact, this eclipse report is 93 pages long, so there's plenty of information to absorb and put to work to make your own trading more financially successful.

Wow!

Our gathering last week in Orlando, Florida for our astro-trading workshop was really a great experience.

It was truly rewarding to see some old friends again, to get to know so many people who are passionate about astro-trading, and to meet some of you face-to-face for the first time after years of emails, phone calls, and online connections.

We had a great time, and we also got to explore some powerful astro-trading concepts using the Galactic Trader software as a platform for sharing some of the ways that the planets can introduce us to market profits. It was a profitable weekend in more ways than one.

If you were one of the ones who joined us in Orlando, I want to thank you for coming. I appreciate all of your questions and contributions, and I truly hope you'll continue to stay in touch as we expand our support program for astro-trading.

If you weren't able to make it to Orlando, I'm of course sorry that you missed out on such a good time. But even if you weren't able to connect with the great group energy in person, and to share in the laughter and conversation in our informal after-hours gatherings in the bars and restaurants, you still haven't missed out completely. We got some great video footage of the entire workshop (but not too much video in the bar), and will be editing it all into a DVD package that will be available early next year.

I'll keep you informed about this new DVD set and will be sure to let you know when it will be available.

We filled up all the available phone lines for the call on Thursday, when we were scheduled to discuss "Planetary Patterns and Market Crisis Opportunities" with Gold Members and guests. There were great questions on the call, and a lot of excitement about the upcoming workshop in Orlando, Florida on October 16 and 17.

After the call I worked to get the recording posted on our membership site so Gold Members who missed the call could listen to it at their convenience and profit from the trading information revealed in the call. I posted the recording in the Download section.

I also put the recording on a free public access site so other people could get download it as well. I figured that there might be a few individuals who hadn't yet become Gold Members and who would like to learn more about what kind of market analysis and trading planning we do here.

That's where I was in for a big surprise. Within hours of posting the recording at the public site, all the available downloads had been scooped up! I've been getting emails all day from people wanting to grab a recording of our Teleseminar!

Of course Mercury is retrograde right now, so we can expect a few challenges. But this isn't a "technical difficulties" kind of situation-- there's really an overwhelming demand for astro-trading information!
