Four years
ago I found a Website of International Society of Business Astrologers
(ISBA). Although I had had some knowledge
and experience in general astrology, the subject of financial astrology was
completely new to me. I didn’t think too long if I want to join ISBA or not, and
I quickly became a member of ISBA. Soon after there was a remarkable Congress
in
After the
Congress I decided to set up a Website about financial astrology and ISBA
itself. The site www.astrobiznes.pl is
bilingual (Polish and English) and is getting more and more visits. Two years
ago I also started to write an Internet blog just to put some notes about my
transactions on the stock market. Some traders advice to write down all
transactions you make and the reasons of financial decisions, so you can review
them afterwards and find out any mistakes if necessary. That was the original idea
but there was also a space for readers to leave their comments. Soon after I
realised the blog became a place where other traders and astrologers meet just
to share their ideas on subject!
As a newbie
on the stock market I used to make lots of transactions. The good side of often
trading was that my blog was updated regularly and brought more and more
readers. The word of mouth has spread that there is “someone who bets on stars”
and it brought some attention from media. Maybe they found it amusing but I was
asked to give some interviews for newspapers. Soon after a popular financial
Web portal www.stooq.pl asked me to write
daily comments on the stock market using financial astrology. They set up a
column named Financial Astrology and for the last year I can see more and more
people reading my comments. The bright side of these daily comments is they
give me motivation to study stock markets and financial astrology every day. I
have also developed some astrological tools for day trading on futures
contracts. Last but not least, people reading about financial astrology every
day begin to accept it as something natural and sooner or later they try to do
their own research.
Comparing
e-mails I got recently and two years ago I can see some shift in people
attitude to the subject. In the past they were sceptical and preferred to stay
in anonymity. Now they contact me sharing their ideas or just to give their
support. I think they just needed some encouragement. Definitely financial astrology
gets more and more interest in
Probably
the biggest surprise for me was an invitation to give a lecture on a Congress
held by Investors Association. This Polish Association gathers people interested
in stock markets investing. They also publish a magazine, books, and twice a
year they organise a Congress for 300 people: individual investors, fund
managers and bank officials. My lecture on financial astrology was spoken last
weekend (30.11.2008) and I decided to tell participants what financial
astrology is and what isn't, reveal some well known people and institutions that
were astrologers' clients and share some examples of astrological tools they
can use in stock market trading. Of course I couldn’t forget to mention ISBA and
its goals. The lecture brought much attention from the Congress participants; I
got many questions on the subject and even got an invitation to make a speech
for some other group of investors. Many people asked why there are no books
about business and financial astrology in Polish and when they will be
published. I think this is the right time that a book about financial astrology
needs to be written and published in
After four
years I first met ISBA much has changed for good in the Polish astrology. There
is much better attitude towards the subject; people can see a value in looking
for astrologers' advice. The subject is widely discussed with due respect and
curiosity. A lecture about astrology brought much interest and hopefully more
people would study the subject even further.
