Here are some astro-financial predictions for March 2014. Since transits to the USA natal chart appear to strongly correlate with market moves, a few related observations are included as well. The predictions are based on simple reading of ephemeris, no other methods were considered. The direction is my best guess based on previous market direction changes under similar conditions; I included some approximate percentages to indicate how likely I think that the market will move in a particular direction. The work is done by hand, rather than with statistical software, and for fun only, so I would caution all readers to do their own research to detect any potential astro-financial trends with higher precision. [All calculations are for NYC, times are in EST; by “market” I mean mainly DJI and entities with similar trading pattern.]

————-

MARCH: Tense month, with tension from the unfolding t-square among Jupiter, Uranus, Pluto building up to culminate or erupt in the 2^nd half of April (next month) when these planets are joined by Mars to complete a Grand Cross.

Issues around domestic security, freedom, food supply, mortgages, banks and savings will be prominently featured. The tension will be between forces that somehow try to control the freedom, prevent growth in the areas above, or exert too much pressure and stifle the economic expansion. These limiting forces will likely come in the form of governmental regulation; alternatively, the limitation may come in the form of violence, war, terrorist acts, accidents (including nuclear), etc. There will likely be significant tension around issues of freedom/expansion on the one hand and control/oppression on the other. For example, some governmental regulation may be preventing banks from increasing their savings or profiting from lending money for mortgages. Or, some governmental entity will be acting in a dictatorial manner and try to suppress the freedom of the people or curb the expansion within a country.

The intense opposition between the forces desiring freedom/expansion and forces trying to prevent/control/regulate this expansion may lead to unexpected, sudden, and/or surprising actions by leaders. There is also an increased likelihood of accidents, angry outbursts, and even military intervention.

Yet another potential manifestation of the unfolding tense aspects is increased likelihood of accidents involving uncontrolled release of power (e.g., nuclear). In particular, it may be related to solid structures or earth/ground succumbing to some pressure (Pluto = nuclear power in Capricorn = earth), and/or, accidents due to fire or military actions (Uranus = accident in Aries = fire/war).

USA: Likely, increased international tensions or some sort of a threat (including from nuclear accidents), especially around March 11-12. The issue that arises at this time will resurface around May 17, 2014 and then culminate/reach resolution around January 4, 2015.

Additionally, there could be increased news related to water – for example, that some structure is strengthened, removed, or excavated, so that the water can flow easily and without obstruction.

USA: A tense day. On a short-term scale, there may be some difficult situation/problem related to water (e.g., too much of it), hidden enemy, poison, drugs, healthcare, or elderly care. Additionally, there may be a public announcement about income of some social group(s) or earnings of companies from the following industries: telecoms, airspace, electronics, IT, etc.

On a longer-term scale, we may see a peak of tensions related to a situation that has been unfolding over the past several months or even years and that involves international relationships and/or loans, mortgages, taxes, and lending rates. Some entity or entities may be pressuring the US into changing its laws or international relationships. The situation may involve bank loans, spying, activities that are hidden or occur underground locations, and/or nuclear power. The pressure may be applied through manipulation, power plays, threats or even violence.
