The Man Who Predicted Everything: Ray Kurzweil on the Future of Technology


He uses a calendar known as the Farmer's Calendar. It is used throughout the Buddhist East, where astrology is based on strict mathematical calculations between the five elements of the Universe. The interaction of Metal, Water, Wood, Fire and Earth determines what can happen. How will these five elements affect the year of the earth Pig?

— The year 2020 in the Chinese solar calendar is symbolized by two hieroglyphs: 己 — Yin Earth “sits” on 亥 Pig, which, in turn, is the element of Water. According to the cycles of birth and destruction, which describe the relationships between the basic elements, Earth and Water have an inharmonious relationship. Typically, such a configuration means more conflict, predicts Raymond Law.

So, in 2020, the Earth “conquers” Water, both elements are in a destructive cycle. However, the nature of the Yin Earth is a “fertile garden” or “mother Earth”, which is quite gentle and moderate, creating an atmosphere of relaxation and comfort.

Consequently, the atmosphere will be such that people tend to choose prudent methods, are more willing to compromise, and are less stubborn and stubborn. However, since the Yin Earth element “sits” on Water, peace and harmony are very superficial, without a solid foundation and support from below. This suggests that the situation is quite fragile and will be in a state of secret hostility. Therefore, various terrorist attacks, riots and other unrest will still take place. The earth, “sitting” on the water element, has no support, it is weak and unstable, and this can also lead to earthquakes, landslides, avalanches, and building collapses. The powerful water of the Pig on Earth symbolizes the danger of the “sunken earth”, which can bring water disasters, floods, storms, and downpours.

Natural disasters

- Since the Pig is a water element, unforeseen events will occur at sea. In the year of the earthen Pig, the element of Fire is absent, and since air traffic relates to it, the complete absence of Fire will also lead to aviation accidents, the predictor believes and lists the famous plane crashes that occurred 60 years ago. — In 1959, the Vietnam War escalated. The Boxer Rebellion broke out in China, leading to the Battle of Senlu Temple in October 1899. 60 years ago in 1959, there was a Tibetan uprising in China and the Dalai Lama fled to India. To summarize, the previous Earth Pig years were marked by turmoil and instability.

Forecast for 2020 from Chinese feng shui master Raymond Lo

The Year of the Rat according to the Chinese solar calendar begins on February 4, 2020.

The pillar of the year contains Yang Metal - a hard element that symbolizes cold weapons, and Rat, an element of strong Water filled with powerful energy. This combination suggests that big confrontations will arise in 2020.

The atmosphere of the year is such that people will be more inclined to resort to violence to achieve their ideology, which will create more conflicts. Therefore, in the coming year we will see mass protests against social injustice and inequality. This trend has already emerged in 2020, and in 2020 it will only intensify. Yang Metal will reach its greatest strength in the fall. During this period, people's aggression will become more uncontrollable.

The Chinese calendar repeats itself every 60 years, and if we look back to 1960, we see that many African countries gained independence at this time. Before that, they were ruled by the British and French, and in 1960 they declared freedom from colonial oppression. Similar unrest is likely expected in the coming 2020.

120 years ago, in 1900 of the Metal Rat, a tragic event occurred in the history of China. Then 8 countries formed a military coalition and staged an invasion, which caused a lot of destruction and took a huge amount of national wealth out of the country.

We can expect a similar repetition of the situation, with the difference that now wars are fought using economic methods. There is currently a powerful confrontation between China and the US, united with the EU, and strong pressure will be put on China.

In 2020, destructive earthquakes are possible, just like 60 years ago in the year of the metal rat. So in 1960, an earthquake with a magnitude of 9.5 occurred in Chile, which caused a powerful tsunami. Another earthquake occurred in Morocco, where 12 thousand people died. Accidents on water and in the air are also possible.

Economic downturn

The fire element symbolizes happiness in people's moods; it generates optimism and confidence. Thus, during the "fire years" people's confidence in the economy increases, which ensures good results in the stock market. This was the driving force behind the growth from 2013 until 2020, when there was a strong Fire element present.

But the cycle of the fire elements ended in 2020, and since 2018 - the Year of the Dog - represents the grave of Fire, this means that optimism has begun to decline. The coming years 2020, 2020, 2021 carry the energies of Water and Metal, and the fire element will not return until 2025. 2020 – the Year of the Pig – represents the fading stage of Fire, so economic rates are entering a “bear cycle” and will slow down. Since Water symbolizes fear, there will be a lack of optimism in the Year of the Pig, which will lead to lower economic growth and, as a result, a longer-term decline in the stock market, leading to an even greater economic crisis. Until Fire returns in 2025, a prolonged bear market is expected, says the astrologer.

"Pig" health

“In addition, the decrease in the fire element from 2020 will bring weakness to the heart and circulatory system. Since Water and Wood are hidden inside the Pig and there is no Fire, the wood will be damp and this will cause bone disease such as rheumatism. The disappearance of Fire from 2020 to 2022 will bring health problems: low energy, weak heart, poor circulation and upset stomach. An imbalance in the earth element will also bring stomach problems and diabetes, warns Raymond.

Raymond Merriman's Weekly Market Update for the week commencing January 28, 2020

“Weekly MMA Column for 2019-01-28 ©By Raymond Merriman in Raymond Merriman's Weekly Preview January 26, 2020. REVIEW AND PREVIEW

Global stock markets continued their 2020 rally late last week after briefly declining following the total lunar eclipse and Mars square Saturn on January 21. The declines were not close to the exuberance that occurred during a similar total lunar eclipse a year ago on January 31. The fact that stock markets have resumed their rallies, many of which have now reached new highs this New Year, suggests that those December 24-27 lows were likely long-term cycle lows. When cycles end, the early stages of new cycles begin, and the early stages of cycles are almost always bullish.

On top of that, the rallies began shortly after Jupiter entered Sagittarius, a sign-planet combination that historically corresponds to significant rallies and ends with long cycle crests before it leaves that sign on December 2, 2020. This does not mean that the rally will continue until the end of the cycle, because it tends to top out in the middle of this transit. For example, the last time Jupiter transited Sagittarius, in 2007, the US stock market reached its then all-time high on October 11, when Jupiter was near 15° Sagittarius. Over the next three months and after Jupiter moved into Capricorn, the Great Recession began and the DJIA fell 18%. And that was just the first step down. The final low didn't end until March 6-9, 2009, with the DJIA falling more than 54% from the October 2007 high.

Jupiter returns to the middle of Sagittarius again. However, due to its retrograde motion, it will soon return to the average degrees of Sagittarius, June-September 2020.

Last week started out looking like the route might be on the way. On the first day of trading in the US, January 22, the Dow Jones Industrial Average immediately fell more than 500 points from its high of 24,750 on Friday, January 18. But then it recovered and by Friday, January 25, reached new highs. to 24,860 The same picture unfolded in many global stock indices, except London's FTSE, which continued to fall all week after its high on Monday. One important issue is that not all indexes exceeded their highs from the previous Friday, January 18th, like the NASDAQ Composite, Tokyo Nikkei and Zurich SMI. This could cause an intermarket bearish divergence if a downtrend begins next week.

Elsewhere in markets, gold and silver saw sharp rallies on Friday, with gold testing 1300 again and silver jumping 55 cents above its low of 15.20 on Tuesday, January 22. Crude oil also rose sharply, setting a new high of 54.24 for the New Market. One year on Tuesday, January 22. In retrospect, the critical reversal star (CRD) on January 22-23, which included the lunar eclipse and Mars/Saturn square on Monday, January 21, corresponded to reversals in several markets. at least short term.

SHORT-TERM GEOCOSMICS

A few minor geocosmic signatures will appear in February, but none will qualify as three-star CRDs until March 17th. However, they may exhibit noticeable reversals that may be of value to traders. The most important next week is Mars square Pluto, from Aries to Capricorn. This may refer to the government shutdown in the US, where tensions between the two sides are increasing without any progress. They dug their feet into the ground, each side refusing to budge. This is classic Mars/Pluto behavior, where "compromise" resulting in a win-win situation is more than a four-letter word. With Mars/Pluto, someone has to lose in the eyes of the antagonists. It should also be noted that transiting Saturn is US square Saturn. Saturn rules government and relates to the dynamics of delays and disappointments. Perhaps this attachment to winning will pass and the matter will be resolved around the new moon on Monday, February 4, a time of new beginnings and “thinking outside the box” over the next two weeks. However, the New Moon in Aquarius is not necessarily a compromise setup, so we may just get new and doable proposals, but still no real shifts. As we write this, President Trump has just signed a bill to temporarily reopen the government until February 15th. Until then, Congress must reach a deal on immigration or, in the president's words, "get back into the race."

This week also marks the beginning of Mars' transit over the founding planets of the New York Stock Exchange. The NYSE chart (May 17, 1792) shows the Moon and Saturn at 20° and 26° Aries, opposite Jupiter and Neptune at 23° to 27° Libra. Mars will transit 20-27 Aries from January 30 to February 13. This could coincide with significant swings in US stock prices, but probably not as much as will occur in 2020-2023 when Pluto transits the same degrees from Capricorn.

LONG-TERM GEOCOSMICS AND THOUGHTS

One of the difficulties one may encounter with Jupiter in Sagittarius square Neptune in Pisces, January 13 to September 21, 2019, is that there are too many variables at play on too many levels that may or may not connect. Let me explain, or rather try to explain, because this is part of the same Neptune square Jupiter problem. What one person with this combination says may not even come close to what someone else hears. Jupiter in Sagittarius, square Neptune in Pisces is all about... what? Make your choice from the many additional realities that are offered simultaneously. This is all negotiable given that both planets are in mutable (changeable) signs, but first you must either understand or accept what is being offered. And most likely no one does.

When it comes to the long-term outlook for financial markets, there are of course many, many variables that could lead to any number of different outcomes. There is a planet and sign combination of Jupiter in Sagittarius that has a fairly strong history with strong rallies ending with longer cycle highs, usually before the end of the period (December 2, 2020). And once that ends, stocks often bottom out while Jupiter is in Capricorn or Aquarius, and sometimes last until he is in Pisces. These two factors lead to a rally in 2020, perhaps to new highs (maybe not), but followed by a very sharp 1-3 year decline that ends before Jupiter leaves Pisces in 2022. This also corresponds to the possibility of a large sale. in 2021, ± 1 year, marked by Saturn in Aquarius square Uranus in Taurus (serious disruption of government and banking, and possible major protests and revolutions throughout the world).

But there are other variables, for with astrology, it's like a clock with 12 hands. We like to look at 2007 as an example that compares astrologically to 2020, as Jupiter spent several months in Sagittarius last year, as discussed earlier. Jupiter was directly in the middle of Sagittarius (15°) on October 11, 2007, the day of its then maximum. Over the next few weeks it stayed mostly near the highs. But then Jupiter moved closer to Pluto, conjunct two months later on December 11, 2007, at 28° Sagittarius (near the Galactic Center, but still in Sagittarius). From there, the stock market began to gradually decline, accelerating its decline after Jupiter entered Capricorn a week later, on December 18, and then reached its first stage when Venus and Pluto moved into Capricorn, January 23-25, 2008. The final bottom for most of these indicators did not occur until March 6-9, 2009, when Jupiter left Capricorn and reached the Aquarius midpoint (14°).

So an alternative view, which was given first, is that the stock market could rally close to the Jupiter/Pluto conjunction in Capricorn 22°. Perhaps it is a planetary conjunction greater than Jupiter in the sign (Sagittarius) that will more closely correlate with the end of this new run with the bulls. This event will take place on November 12, 2020, very close to the US presidential election. In 2007, the stock market peaked two months before the Jupiter/Pluto conjunction. Typically, stocks do run in elections even after, although 2008 was a major exception to this rule. But also supporting the rally in 2020 is the Saturn/Pluto conjunction , which will take place on January 12, 2020. In several recent cases, the stock market bottomed before this aspect and has already started to rally in and out of it.

So, will the cosmic reality of a planet/sign relationship or planets in aspect to each other (especially in conjunction) correlate with the crest of a longer cycle in stock indices? Will stocks top out this year, or will they continue to rise through the Saturn/Pluto conjunction and beyond, peaking near the Jupiter/Pluto conjunction and the 2020 election, followed by a decline that should occur during Uranus square Saturn ( 2021) ± 1 year? This is a difficult task for financial astrologers. And with Jupiter square Neptune in 2020, this result may not be so clear. Nothing is very clear under Jupiter square Neptune, especially with Neptune in Pisces, the sign and planet of fog. However, it is clear that this is a period when people tend to be overly optimistic and hopeful, very complacent about their financial capabilities and speculative proposals, and vulnerable to large losses if they are not careful. This is a time that requires insight and attention to detail and warning signs that things may be wrong in different parts of the world and the economy. If it sounds too good to be true, chances are it isn't.

For whom is the year favorable?

— The Year of the Pig is the year of the Noble Person for people who have the personal element Fire or were born in the year of Fire. Fire years are years ending in 6 and 7. For example, 1946, 1947, 1956, 1957, 1966, 1967, etc. Noble Person means the help of an angel who comes from heaven to provide salvation and support, he often resolves problems and makes the situation more comfortable. People who received Noble's help in 2020 can take advantage of the chance to progress and develop new projects.

Snake in clash with Pig

People born in the year of the Snake are in conflict with the Pig. This means more opportunities for travel and travel in 2019. Such collisions tend to cause turbulence, movement, accidents or sudden changes. Water and Fire collide, which will stimulate misfortunes associated with air and sea travel. Those born in the year of the Snake will have opportunities for movement, such as changing jobs or moving. It is worth accepting such opportunities and planning the necessary changes or taking frequent trips.

“However, you should exercise extra caution and refrain from risky sports such as driving fast cars, airplanes, diving, skydiving, etc.,” the master emphasizes.

Such people are advised to wear a Tiger pendant, which will help distract the Pig and thereby reduce the negative impact of the collision. For people born in the year of the Snake, it is better to minimize travel directly in the direction of the northwest, since in 2019 this is the direction of the Grand Duke.

Health in 2020

As for health, the stomach, pancreas, musculoskeletal and cardiovascular systems will continue to be at risk. This is due to the predominance of Earth energy in the year chart, and the absence of the Fire element.

To regulate the balance of the Earth, it is recommended to take antioxidants throughout the year, and to strengthen the Fire element - COQ10. And also minimize the consumption of confectionery sweets, which can trigger diabetes.
