his is a reminder that we are going to raise our prices of Astrology Traders effective January 3rd, 2012. These prices were meant to reward those who wanted to take early action and since our September launch Astrology Traders has grown by leaps and bounds. We want to thank everyone who has signed up to date.

To clarify, any member who is subscribed prior to January 3rd, 2012 will be grandfathered in at the introductory levels.

Currently the subscription rates are $55/quarterly and $177/annual. Click here to learn more and get signed up.

The new pricing will be $77/quarterly and $237/annual – which is still a steal for the time that goes into this service.

Now is the time to lock in the low prices if this is a service you’ve been on the fence about and want to try. We offer a 30 day money back refund if you aren’t completely satisfied and I know personally that very few have elected for the refund option.

Below is a sample from last months member updates sent out on November 23rd detailing the pullback in the precious metals sector. This is just one small slice of what Karen does in her premium service in addition to fielding individual questions, recommending individual stock plays, and sector analysis.

In the US we have a market closing for Thursday while we celebrate Thanksgiving.  As I am getting ready to travel for a long weekend I want to take a moment and express my gratitude by saying “thank you” to all my subscribers.  I am truly grateful for all of you who have decided to be a part of my Astrology Traders, and it is my sincere hope that you will benefit personally and financially from this service.

I decided last weekend to separate the gold and silver update because it needed more time than I was able to dedicate to it with the rest of the market information.  I want to start with the CME controversy regarding MF Global client funds that were confiscated.  As I was thinking about the Mafia style actions of the CME and the CBOT (Chicago Board of Trade) freezing traders funds and then not allowing them into the building as if they were the criminals, I remembered something very symbolic about the actual CBOT building that gave me a chill.  I have done quite a few astrology projections  regarding CORN in my updates and on Zentrader.  To get my analysis I use the transits of the asteroid Ceres, named after the Greek goddess Demeter, who governed agriculture.  Ceres (cereal) was considered the goddess of the harvest.

Not surprisingly a large stylized statue of Ceres sits perched on the top of the CBOT building in Chicago.  The statue holds a sheaf of wheat and a grain sample bag, which is symbolic of the commerce that takes place at the CBOT.  The statue is quite a famous landmark and many people go to great lengths to get a better glimpse of it.  The statue may be beautiful however there is a dark side to it’s meaning that is symbolic of something entirely different.  Ceres, in certain sectors of astrology, represents also “the godfather of business” and is the most materialistic planet.  The attitude is “me first” “money  first” and “business first” which pretty much sums up the CBOT and the CME.  The godfather personality of the CME is going to really become apparent in December.  The CME is not going to budge, the Fed is not going to budge, and unfortunately for the traders wanting their money back,  this is going to drag out for months.  Ironically Uranus, the planet that rules “crazy” and sudden shocking events will make a rare conjunction with Ceres on the Aries axis (world power) on January 24, 2012.  This date also lines up with harsh transits in the Fed chart that suggest a financial meltdown and the Fed acting like a dictator with an iron fist.  The entire month of January looks particularly stressed for Gold.  I will be adding to my outlook in January in coming weeks.  There could be a massive liquidation of gold January 24th, similar to last week when John Paulson liquidated 1/3 of his gold holdings. 

On December 12, 2011 Pluto will make a conjunction to Ceres in the Fed chart that will carry into the fall of 2012.  This transit is very ominous and suggests a move that is a covert attempt to take over farming land and agriculture.  Many farmers use the futures markets to help lock in profits on their harvests.  Farmers were also among those harmed in the MF Global scandal.  Their losses could impact their farming profits and their ability to profit in 2012.

As I have written in past updates gold and silver look blocked in November.  We could get another bounce up with the solar eclipse making another set-up for a short position on November 25th.  Don’t hold positions too long as the metals can swing fast.  The metals are being blocked however there are counter forces that will take the opportunity to run the prices back up.

November 25th:  There could be a bounce up in the metals here for a set-up to go short.  It looks nebulous for much of a bounce so I will add that the overall transits are bearish for the metals.

November 28-30:  Could be a significant drop here particularly on November 29th.

December 1-2:  There could be support for the metals and a bounce up.

December 4th-28th:  There is a harsh Saturn transit that suggests margin changes.  There could be sudden changes that are disruptive to hedge funds where they are having to adjust to changes they are not accustomed to.  There is a conflict between the new way of doing business and the old.  I also believe there are financial losses that will not be recovered and the legal battle with MF Global will carry into September of 2012

December 10th:  A total lunar eclipse that will have a negative impact on financials in general.  There could be more liquidations of large gold positions

December 19th-25th:  There could be a very harsh correction in the metals.  An attempt could be made to break through $25 on the Comex silver.
