Black Friday - Stampede or Fizzle?

I don't know what time the Stores open tomorrow. It probably doesn't matter as all the most fool hardy shoppers sleep in front of the stores all night in order to be there for the stampede. This is sort of for the gadgets and sort of just for the sport and a whole lot for the party. And tomorrow morning's chart looks to be mighty sporty and mighty party hardy. The competition will be tough as both Sun and Moon will be in athletic Sagittarius. You'll have to outpace those thunder thighs as they race through the store ramming you out of the way with their carts. Jupiter likes the game, and Jupiter likes to spend money and Jupiter is quite a spend thrift so it will be fun to see if this has any affect (effect?).

The New Moon will have separated but will still be held together at 6am by the Mercury-Mars conjunction. Prepare for some serious yelling. At this time, Scorpio will be Rising so strategy will be involved. The chart ruler, Pluto, will be unaspected (major aspects) in the 2d House of money. This makes the competition even tenser. There will be a Late Night Club coolness factor to rushing to the stores this year. Special secret bargains for those who can lay on the charms. (I have no idea what that means, I'm just saying it.)

The media will be there trying to turn the whole thing into a story, fearing that by this time next year they'll be working at real jobs.

Venus and Jupiter are also in conjunction in the 2d House of money. This sure does look like a super sales phenomenon waiting to happen. In Capricorn, though, could add a frugal element. There's a hemline in those pockets. I guess we'll just have to wait and see. Maybe the best strategy is to hold off and let the retailers sweat until the very last minute. Nah, Sadge doesn't like a Grinch.

All Real Americans will be out there spending money and boosting the numbers so that Anderson Cooper can smile extra pretty when he says that it looks like nothing's wrong with how the American Public enjoys life. Oh dear, Cooper likes to keep em honest, he won't be our spokesman. We'll have to look for someone else. Katie Couric can't talk about shopping, she's a woman. Who then?

For the last few sessions the Market has been rising for no good reason which seems very fishy. Last night a commentator on NPR said that he just didn't get it. Well, Wall Street is priming the American Public for retail. Plus, Wall Street is probably finagling one last surge in prices in order to take advantage of Bush's nice Capital Gains taxes.

Shop on, America. It's for the good of the economy. Also, you could send your kids to school and inspire them to invent new products and to treat other people well so we can all get along. Peace to the World. At 40 percent off.
