Astrological Analysis of Locking Empowerism into PIPS

As all the PIPSters now know, Stone Evans, the creator of Plug In Profit Sites, includes Empowerism into PIPS since January 1st 2005. From his blog, I saw that he joined www.empowerism.com on December 15 2004 at 10:15am -- which is almost all the data needed for astrological analysis. I presumed he did this from his normal place of living and work, which is Dallas, TX, so that gave me the final piece of data to make the chart of that event. This is a very significant chart for anyone interested in joining Empowerism within the PIPS programme. From his blog, we see that Stone himself had usual doubts at first, and it is only natural that anyone considering joining Empowerism under Stone wants to know what will be the outcome of all this. A look at the future is needed here, and astrology is the perfect tool in a situation like this.

So, is this a good business decision? This is affiliate marketing and how is that reflected in this chart? Who will be able to profit from this affiliate venture? How long will this opportunity last and when is the best time to concentrate efforts?

It turns out that this chart contains answers to all these questions, and more.

Is this a strong business move?

Yes, very strong. The house of career and business, the 10th house, starts at 23 Scorpio and ends at 17 Saggitarius. Mars, which rules Scorpio with Pluto, is on the degree of 23 Scorpio -- the very same degree on which the 10th house starts. So, the ruler of the 10th house is on the 10th house itself, which is a strong indication of success. The 23rd degree has the nature of Aquarius -- computers, the Internet, networks, Internet marketing etc.

Mars is conjunct Venus on 28 Scorpio and Mercury retrograde on 12 Saggitarius is also in the 10th house, yielding no less than three planets in the 10th house -- this is a business chart allright! Such a busy 10th house means Stone will try to build a large number of followers, positioning himself as the leader, making others follow him blindly but firmly.The 10th house is about making personal and/or professional empires, both literally and figuratively speaking, so it's a nice link to this very name, Empowerism.

The 10th house is ruled by Pluto, Mars and Jupiter. Pluto is on 22 Saggitarius, together with the Sun, which is on 24 Saggitarius. Pluto, the ruler of the 10th house is in the 11th house, meaning that a significant material award is awaiting in the future. Pluto with the Sun here means the will that it will be so, and since this conjunction is in the 11th house, some kind of marketing is in order. Pluto is this animal part of human nature, the mass appeal, something very basic such as sex, power or money, the Sun is the "I will" principle, so in writing marketing materials you should use words such as "will, power, money, sexy, willpower" and the like -- the more basic, the better.

Pluto is on the 22nd Saggitarius, which has the nature of Saturn. In this case, this means long hours of planning the marketing campaigns. In particular, this degree is about mathematics, so freely use words such as "do your math", "calculate for yourself" and the like.

The 11th house is about communities such as forums, lists and the Internet in general, so the Sun and the ruler of the 10th house in it, denote creating an empire through Internet marketing, which is of course what Empowerism is all about.

The Sun is on 24 Saggitarius, which is a degree of hidden things, meaning that for the best effect in your marketing campaign, you could accentuate that through Empowerism you can become richer and still remain largely unknown. This degree has the nature of Pisces, so put some heavy emphasis on the esoteric side of life -- enjoying music, dance, smoking and drinking alcohol... Also, the ability to go to various faraway parts of the world.

What about the money in this chart?

The 2nd house starts at 18 Pisces and ends at 25 Aries. The rulers are Neptune on 13 Aquarius and Mars on 23 Scorpio. The aspects of Neptune are excellent: trine to Jupiter at 15 Libra, sextile with Mercury retrograde at 12 Saggitarius, conjunct the Moon on 14 Aquarius. The trine to Jupiter will give large sums of money, almost effortlessly and through affiliate marketing, since Jupiter is in the 8th house, the house of other's people's money. The Moon on 14 Aquarius is a sure sign of money, providing some basic people's need is catered for. Neptune and the Moon in Aquarius denote computers, new technology, visionary software techniques... It is also an aspect of fooling the masses, fortunately, the Moon has passed Neptune, so there may be some hype in marketing Empowerism but not too much.

Since the ruler of the 2nd is in the 1st house, the largest sums of money will go to people who write about their personal experiences in marketing Empowerism. This, BTW, is what Stone is doing already, as you know from his blog.

Is this for affiliates?
Affiliate money is represented as the 8th house, and Jupiter rules the 11th house and is in the 8th house. This literally is "affiliate (8th house) marketing (ruler of the 11th house)". Additionally, Jupiter is in sextile with Mercury on 12 Saggitarius and Jupiter rules this Mercury and the second part of the 10th house. This is a very strong aspect, and will help even people who do not know how to otherwise make money through the Internet. Finally, Mercury rules the 8th house, thus creating a kind of perpetual affiliate money machine.
Work from home?

Yes, you can work from home promoting PIPS and Empowerism. Venus and Mercury rule the fourth house of home, and they are both in the 10th house, which literally is a "business from home".

Predictions
How is this all going to end? Venus rules the 4th house of endings, and is on 28 Scorpio, the sign it is not good at. However, it has a trine to Saturn on 26 Cancer and Fortuna on 27 Pisces, which is the degree of Venus's exaltation. Venus, Fortuna and Mars form a watery great trine, thus linking all the three houses for money (the 2nd, the 6th and the 10th). The bottom line is that promoting Empowerism can be turned into a business and if you do that, it will work out fine. However, here are the relevant transits:

-- The Sun is on Neptune and the Moon on 2nd February 2005 -- this will be the end of the first wave of recruiting for Empowerism. Up to this date, the marketing materials should be in decisive first voice: "I want to do this, this is my decision only, I want freedom... " etc. etc.

The second important date is 8th February 2005, when Mercury is on the Moon. Use as many logical and wordy explanations as is possible.

The third wave is up to 13th February 2005, when Venus is on the Moon. In this period, emphasize feelings of security, saving for the home and better future, solving family problems and the like. Speak to women.

The next wave is up to 9th April 2005, when Mars is on Neptune and the Moon. Use strong, masculine verbs and actions, men are now your audience. Use adrenaline verbs such as "climb, run, action, compete, war" etc.
Jupiter will enter the 10th and 11th house in 2006 and 2007, which will be extremely positive for this whole enterprise. On the other hand, Saturn is in Leo from 15th July 2005 up to 4th October 2007, so its opposition to the natal Moon will happen from April 2006 up to 2nd August 2006. Then it will be very difficult to recruit new members. This will also be a period of weak cash flow, since Saturn against Neptune, the ruler of the 2nd house, will have your payments delayed. So plan for emergency of this kind in advance. You can tear your money away from Empowerism in that period, or just be plain patient, waiting for the things to speed up again.

All this transits are valid only for the people that follow Stone and may not be valid for the Empowerism company in itself, since that site has its own natal chart. (If someone has the natal data for the Empowerism company, please let me know and I might write another astrological analysis for it.

Another important transit would be Uranus squaring the natal position of Mercury, which will happen in 2006 and 2007. Instead of explaining what will that do to you and your invesments, I'll just say that PIPSters can stick to Empowerism during the 2005 but that in 2006 the whole investment should be reassessed.

The PIPS, Empowerism and you

This is the chart of Stone's involvement in Empowerism. He's already made some money from the whole thing, but then, we all know that he can, that's why we have made him our leader. Exactly how this will turn out for you depends on your natal chart and how it interacts with this chart. Without getting too technical, you are off to a good start if, for example, you have something of the following:

-- Sun in Aquarius, or any other planets in that sign
-- Sun in Saggitarius, or any other planets in that sign.
-- Sun in Virgo, or any other planets in that sign.

The final truth will be, as always, contained in your own natal chart, so it is a matter of personal analysis -- if you want it, I can do it for you, for a fee. Send me a message to
