For instance, this can mean a “mini-bull cycle” or a temporary phase of sudden increase in stock prices amidst the generally prevailing gloom of the markets (It should be noted that we are in the midst of a mid-year Bear influence in the markets in end of May, and there could be a temporary phase of uptrend due to Venus transiting 5 deg. North of Aldebran).

Suggestions coming from the most unlikely of sources can prove auspicious for your financial prospects. Some quick buying and selling of stocks for quick profit is possible during this period. This period can be quite auspicious to accumulate banking sector stocks and stocks of hotels which might be available at low prices compared to their median price levels. But, be sure to make proper research before taking any investment decision; it can sometimes be a good idea to just hold your stocks and not do anything about them if you are in doubt.

Watch what you talk as even seemingly innocuous remarks may lead to unsavoury controversies. Legal matters should be handled with more care and thoroughness during this period. Leave nothing to chance under this pin-prick aspect. You should act with abundant caution, speak with restraint, and work with concentration to stay out of trouble during this period.
Mercury turns direct on June 19, 2008.
It happens in the 20th degree of Taurus; Mars opposes Neptune on June 21, 2008; Venus sesquiquadrates Dragon’s Head on June 21, 2008.
Mercury turning direct puts an end to a period of confusion and communication delays. However, the degree in which it becomes direct is not that auspicious. The 20th degree of Taurus is symbolized as “A crow standing upon a water-pot”. This indicates the possibility of crafty and cunning natures of persons coming to the fore, and the possibility of mischief even in regard to harmless things. There is the possibility of social unrest arising out of unsavoury rumours or other such unfavourable events over the next few days. Gracefully, the degree predictions indicate that the mischief-mongers will meet their nemesis as a consequence of their own evil designs. The other planetary alignments over the next 3 days also conform to the above indications.
In business and relationship matters, do not trust anyone blindly. Take all precautions to verify the antecedents of those with whom you wish to have business partnerships. Single natives should be most careful and avoid becoming victims of unscrupulous and irresponsible persons who may exploit your vulnerabilities and leave you emotionally shattered by their activities.
If a child is born during this period, care should be taken to bring that child up with the highest of ideals so that the child can bloom as a responsible citizen overcoming the negative indications in personality described above (cunning and crafty nature).

Matters related to export business, overseas travel, and businesses concerning oil/ show-biz should be dealt with more caution and care. Sudden jolts might be expected in these sectors. It is best to be extremely cautious in business mattes, and if possible to avoid new ventures completely during this period. Over-confidence and complacency can be your undoing during this sensitive period. Relationship matters also continue to be under testing planetary influences.
