August 2011 and the Markets Update

As an update to the last post.

Right now there's a major geomagnetic storm underway on the Sun, a Kp=5 magnitude event that was apparently triggered by a big fluctuation in the solar wind.

Earlier Saturday, there was also a huge solar flare (almost an X-class event) from a big sunspot, Number 1261. While it is not directly related to the colossal geomagnetic storm, it is definitely adding even more strength to the turbulence in solar activity.

These massive disturbances are still playing out on the Sun, and the disruptions to the geomagnetic fields around the Sun and Earth is likely to continue over the next several days at least.

What effect is possible. Problems with the electrical grid, radio signals and cell phones. Watch for wild fluctuations in the futures markets and possible geophysical events.

Not mentioned in the last post, the Moon will be translating the Uranus / Pluto square on Aug 3 by opposing Uranus and squaring Pluto. Watch for a reversal in Gold and Silver (other commods. ?) in early August or Aug 16/17.
