It surely can't be this easy...?!

Thought I would post this in the light of events in the UK banking system this week. (For those from overseas, the 5th biggest bank here, Northern Rock has run into difficulties and there has been almost a run on it with many people trying to get their money out).

In early August I did some analysis of the UK financial stocks to see how the eclipses would affect them- and specifically the eclipse of 28th Sept as the degree will be reactivated by a saturn venus conjunction in October.

Here is ( completely unedited) the section on banking (insurances and other financials were less exciting). I extracted all planets at the degrees of the lunar eclipse and those square it. Degrees are listed as portion of 360 rather than by sign.

The impact on share prices, Friday, was a 30 % reduction in Northern Rock, about 8% in Bradford and Bingley and Alliance and Leicester, and around 4% in HBOS. On the other hand there was almost no movement in Lloyds. I listed them in order of risk at the time I originally printed the list off and it almost corresponds perfectly with the size of the share price decreases.

It is also interesting to note that the astrology suggests some of the bigger banks are being affected internally ( incorporation charts) though their share price ( listing charts) is not so impacted.

I never expected such a simple correlation.

For those of you curious as to whether I made money out of this one, I did contemplate taking a position in Northern Rock but decided against it as the shares had already been falling all 2007. Should have had more faith in the efficacy of eclipses! The preceding lunations can been seen as indicating the trend/direction of movement and the eclipse just appears to have magnified it.
