(written on Oct.1st)
Looking at the moon
cycle of October, the tide is changing every Monday (moon day). September and
October is the account settlement time in Europe and North America. Therefore,
at this time, the whole financial status will be exposed. I will be watching
out the stock market that also starts on Mondays. Just looking at the situation
in Europe, nothing seems to have improved. They have been postponing many issues and now the problems
are catching up and start to reveal. I am getting the feeling that Germany, the
tractor of Europe, may start to protect its own countries’ finance. “Take
responsibility of your own action” is how they would start to react. The
characteristics of Germans are known to be most logical and rational. France is
sinking half way in the Euro condition. After Spain, next may be France. The US looks critical by the numbers.
However, they are clever and already recognizing the world financial crisis for
a while. As much as they look deeply in debt, they have been preparing natural
resources, food supply and the military.
In Asia, the problem between China and Japan is
going to be exposed economically during the month of October.
Regarding earthquakes, there was a M7.4 in
Columbia early today (Oct 1st). Also in Japan, in the Tohoku area, small quakes
are occurring continuously. We have to acknowledge that big earthquakes are occurring
not only in Japan but also on the opposite side of the Pacific Ocean.
Here are the astronomical events of October:
- Oct 5. – Moon is furthest from Earth (1,054,405,156km)
- Oct 17. – Moon is closest to Earth（938,360,666km)
- Oct 19. – Moon is at most South point
I sense we are already in
the time zone that every day is a watch out day. At dangerous times, turtles would
put his head and legs inside and hide in his shell. The Japanese sun goddess
Amaterasu hid herself inside a rock when things were looking unstable outside.
I believe we should do the same. It is wise for Japan to only focus on the
domestic economy at this point. If we try to stretch our legs, it will get cut
off. Same concept will apply for
the individuals. Stay calm and maintain you current condition. It’s better not
to make any new moves. If you could stay relaxed and loose, you will swing well
like the willow tree and survive.
