People ask, "if you know what the ups and downs will be in the future, how can we decide now?"
People ask, "so you know when it will go up and down, so what do we do now?"
The answer is, you can look at the planetary signals, like a photograph of the future. It is like the one above. It will show you the mountains and valleys.
So you will know what is expected. It is not the most detailed map. But it will give you a perspective. Once your intuition knows what is going to happen, you will be able to cope.
At this stage, that is the best I have managed to do. Of course over forty years of getting it wrong has helped. But it can always get better with time.
