I’m as intuitive about investing and using money as a TOOL as I am about anything else. However, money is EMOTIONAL and addictive for humans and therefore irrational, not real, and blows with the wind. Tryptophan is in cosmic mode today and is making people hyper-emotional-shored up this afternoon by antipode Red 13 Moon, universal feelings. Humans’ main feeling is wanting to be secure and cozy because we are mammals so the specter of losing money induces fear.

Over-emotion is never a good thing. That said, I am an empath so I very easily can feel and see the flow of emotion, including with money and with humanity in the markets.

At the moment, 2 PM, we are in Red 13 Cosmic Moon or universal flow of feelings. I just realized that now before I wrote the first paragraph. My Spidey Sense says that we are going to be fine in the long run, but like everything else on the planet, we are in a major paradigm shift including what humans want to spend their money and time on. It is all completely changing.

Looking at the stocks below;

People still want to use banks and gold. It’s been part of our history for a long time and I don’t believe will change. But, the banks need to change. They are hemorrhaging at the moment. With the earth changes this will become more volatile. However, human commu its and sharing are strong whether anyone has money or not. There are still resources and food. We’ll have to share.

Moderna should be going bankrupt along with all the other big drug companies but due to their corrupt relationships with Congress they are profiting, and due to the ignorance of the public about their bodies. Also, alcoholism, gluttony, social pressure with food, and sloth keep their pockets lined. This kind of thing needs to change. It’s FEAR and IGNORANCE profit. There is no more profit-oriented, disempowering industry than SICK CARE creating and profiting from human misery. I want them to hit a wall so we can bring real intelligence forward and exile A.I.
