Global: Nov 17 – Dec 2, 2016 (esp. Nov 23-25, 2016), then Mar 23 – Apr 7, 2017 (esp. Mar 30-31, 2017), and finally Jul 28 – Aug 11, 2017 (esp. Aug 3-4, 2017) — larger than usual market moves and a significant reversal (probably from a MAX reached around peak days of Nov 23-24, 2016 as well as Mar 30-31, 2017 and Aug 3-4, 2017 to down in the days following the respective peak days). Increased focus on legal issues, lawyers, power struggles (over legal issues) or ethical problems due to hidden issues, spying, secrets, taxes, and/or [life] insurance. Additionally, there may be increased focus on nuclear power, recycling plants, birth control, reproductive issues, end-of-life issues (e.g., is assisted suicide legal), and businesses that deal with trash disposal. Some issue(s) related to the areas above may reach a critical mass and an intervention may be necessary to fix it. Or, there may be a major agreement/deal/law/legal decision that affects related matters for months to come — for ex., a law is passed on how to handle recycling of certain types of radioactive trash, nuclear plant may be sued, or, a legal ruling is passed on how to deal with spies or entities who handle secrets.

Global: Sep 2015 — Dec 2017: Focus on oil, water, drugs, lies, religion, higher education, immigration, foreign connections, and long distance travel with a new sober/realistic perspective — the mood may be that these areas got out of hand, went over board, and need discipline/restrictions/regulation. Immigration control, control of religious ceremonies, structured approach to higher education, limitation on foreign currencies/connections/long distance travel, etc. This new perspective will strengthen over upcoming months and will remain till about the end of 2017.

USA: January – November 2016 (esp. Jan 21 – Feb 19, Apr 11 – May 31, and Oct 19 – Nov 17) — improved stability of banks and financial institutions and opportunities to stabilize and make long-term plans. Slow but steady growth and improved confidence in long-term success. Entities that adopt a conservative cautious approach, reduce expenses, and reduce risky investments (especially overseas or in anything foreign) at this time will see improved stability and growth long-term. This period favors older established institutions.

USA: June 1 – Aug 28, 2016  (esp. June 24 – July 15; Aug 15 – Sep 5) and then March 22 – April 27, 2017 (esp. Apr 6-14) — Stressful news about communication/transportation businesses, aerospace projects/businesses (incl. airlines), electric power companies, electric car companies, IT businesses, and telecoms. The news may be about something braking, reaching a tension point, or about a breakthrough of some sort. Innovations are possible as well but they may not be immediately accepted or come as a solution to a problem (e.g., some emergency situation requires a unique approach to be fixed, so some company quickly comes up with a breakthrough solution). The issue will likely be domestic and may be related to real estate, food, security/safety, women’s issues, and/or banks’ capital. Disruptions in travel are more likely at this time as well (esp. by airplane or car) due to the increased potential for energy outages, electric system malfunctions, and accidents. There may be a related announcement on July 15, 2016. Also, issues that first pop up in June-July 2016 (Tesla accident with the driver using autopilot comes to mind) will likely have a follow up action/review in Aug-Sep 2016 and will be finally resolved/addressed in Apr 2017.

China:  January – November 2016 (esp. Jan 8 – Feb 5, May 13 – Jun 24, and Oct 1 – Nov 2) — troubles and slow-downs related to old unresolved issues, hidden problems, diseases, healthcare, water/navy, oil, and/or problems with partners. Some structures or entities are old, inflexible, and outlived their usefulness. The old approach is holding back the new growth and is being discarded through a series of disruptive/difficult periods. At the end of the third period (Oct 2016), some new improved structure should emerge that will help the country to grow in more healthy ways. In the process, old ways may be changed and old partnerships discarded. Steel industry, industries that manufacture some large machinery, mining industry, and large-scale construction businesses will experience a period of difficulties and will need to purge and become “lean”/discard anything that’s extra or old to keep growing.

China: 2018 will be a very important year — likely, the country will achieve significant success/profits and enhance its status on the world arena. Also likely are changes in participation in various organizations and one-on-one agreements/partnerships, as well as major developments in healthcare/medicine, secret programs, programs related to religion/spirituality/beliefs, chemicals, movies, music, travel/transportation, and education.

China: 2018-2020 (esp. 2019) — major reform(s) in the following areas: pharmaceuticals, healthcare, treatment of elderly (end-of-life care), prisons, religion, chemicals, beverage industry, movie industry, oil industry (or businesses related to power generation in general, such as nuclear power plants), recycling industry, and any industries that rely on hidden activities (e.g., hacking) or on dissolving borders between larger groups/categories (e.g., creating hybrids, removing separation between bodies of water, developing new powerful chemical mixtures [possibly for nuclear power generation], developing new drugs that expand consciousness, blending modern and traditional medicine, etc.).

OIL: Given the relatively big drop in oil prices following the OPEC’s meeting on Dec 4, 2015, it looks like the exact Neptune/Saturn square (1st of the 3 exact transits) in the early Dec produced an intermediate MAX/TOP reversal point. I was expecting oil prices to hit a LOW in Nov/Dec (Oil prices fluctuations and Neptune-Saturn cycle: Financial astrology insights), but was also expecting a significant up move shortly after the exact transit. It now looks like there may be a slow gradual rise instead or possibly even a slight drop till the final 3rd exact square in Sep 2016. I would wait until after the final exact square next Sep to see a major upward jump.

With the Neptune/Saturn aspect slowly separating from the exact square through March 25, 2016, the down influence on oil will gradually lessen. Starting from the end of March, the two planets will slowly move toward another precise square due in June. So, Jan-Apr 2016 may see the prices rebound somewhat. Then, starting as early as May 2016 (or even late April) and especially in the summer through Sep of 2016 (with Aug 22 to Sep 23 being quite significant), we may see a major turmoil related to oil [production/sales/distribution/etc.] and a serious price depression. The 2nd of the 3 “exact” Saturn/Neptune squares will occur around Jun 17, 2016. A few weeks before/after that date should see significant events and market moves related to oil (esp., June 3-6, 8, 16-17, 19-21, 29-30). While an OPEC meeting is set for June 4, June 17 looks like a likely date for some important OPEC announcement.

Once Neptune/Saturn square begins to separate for good in the fall of 2016, there should be a major price reversal in Sep or Oct 2016 (I believe from a BOTTOM/LOW to up) followed by a multi-year recovery (or at least a steady multi-year trend in the same direction; I believe it will be up). Two/three weeks before/after September 9, 2016, the time of the last exact Saturn/Neptune square, will likely be  especially significant (esp. Aug 21-26; Sep 1, 9-10, 12-13, 18, 30; Oct 3-5, 10-12, 15-18). After that, I would look at the conjunction of Saturn and Neptune (2025-26; esp. late Jan-Feb 2026) for the next big top/bottom of the oil prices with related geopolitical turmoil. At that time, Neptune will also be leaving its own sign, Pisces, which will make that time period even more significant wrt oil prices and anything related to Neptune, including chemicals (esp. chemical weapons or weapons that work through affecting mind/mood/etc.), drugs/pharmaceuticals (esp. drugs used as weapons), water, spirituality, etc.

Given that Neptune also rules chemicals, alcohol, beverages, pharmaceuticals, navy, water, drugs, poisons, pollution (of water or with chemicals), music, movies, photography, spirituality, healing (with drugs or through alternative approaches), etc., and that Saturn rules big corporations and governments, businesses related to the areas above (esp. large corporations or governmental entities) will experience major changes in their structure, profit schemes, popularity of their products, and/or manufacturing technologies around the same times. For ex., the Dow Chemical  and DuPont merger is a good representation of the Neptune/Saturn square —> Neptune=chemicals, Saturn=large corporations, square=forcibly breaking an old pattern. I expect we may hear more about other Neptunian businesses or products undergoing major changes as well around the times of hard Neptune/Saturn aspects (e.g., summer-Sep 2016, and then in 2025-26).

ALL WEEK: 

Global: Continuing, though diminishing, focus on businesses, products, and events related to oil, chemicals, alcohol, beverages, pharmaceuticals, navy, water, drugs, poisons, pollution, contagious diseases, music, movies, photography, spirituality, healing, prisons, elderly care, and death (e.g., rights to facilitated suicide, life insurance, etc.), etc. The news will likely be stressful and/or about businesses undergoing significant changes, especially wrt leadership, structure, and boundaries/area of influence (e.g., restructuring, closures, introducing limitations, lowering expectations, endings, delays, confusion, losses, breakups, and mergers).

Global: Favorable time for businesses related to cars (e.g., electric car manufacturers and manufacturers of engines and moving parts), military (esp. any cyber projects, high tech equipment, rockets, or aviation), IT, telecoms, satellites, law or legal advising, and aerospace. There may be opportunities for expansion, implementation of favorable laws, reaching favorable agreements, and receiving publicity. This influence is the strongest on Dec 1-2.

Global: Lessening but still remaining focus on money, cash, and financial organizations. Also, focus on laws, legal issues, lawyers, agreements, and legal acts/cases that deal with partnerships and finance (e.g., marriage/divorce of wealthy individuals, or, agreements that significantly affect income of large corporations or governments). Big players (famous people, governments, large corporations), legal agreements, partnerships, and large sums of money — these matters could receive extra coverage in the news, esp. early in the week.

Global: Lessening but still remaining focus on government projects and projects that involve cooperation/partnerships may undergo significant changes — new partnerships/agreements may run into push back from the government(s) and/or such partnerships will pressure government(s). Also, projects/businesses related to mining, construction, minerals, metals (esp. steel), rocks, sculpture, etc. may undergo some major changes — they may see expansion and new opportunities, although these may come with some caveat (e.g., wrong timing, excessive optimism that leads to overspending, too much pressure that leads to something breaking, etc.). Additionally, there may be increased focus on improving old structures (buildings and infrastructure like bridges and tunnels; structures may be related to nuclear power generation) —  either through massive expansive projects that aim to improve them, or, because something breaks (e.g., due to massive earthquakes or old age). Finally, there may be increased focus on issues related to taxes, loans, nuclear power, recycling, and insurance — these too may begin to undergo significant changes  due to some laws or expansion — see the first general Global entry at the top of the post — this influence will continue into 2017.

USA: As last week, favorable time for businesses/projects related to military, engines, cars, aerospace, moving metal objects, and any innovative high tech projects (e.g., robots, sensors, wiring for data processing, high tech weapons, etc.). We may hear about innovations related to engines, rockets, satellites, computers, signal processing (esp. for military purposes, aerospace industry, or electric devices), or moving parts used for electric cars or to generate electricity. The developments will likely be subtle along the lines of re-evaluating methodology or fixing issues to improve products/services. The influence is slightly weaker than last week but still in place as a general background influence.

China: Favorable time for building long-term alliances or entering into agreements (bilateral or multi-organizational). Agreements/organizations entered into at this time will likely be beneficial long term, last a long time, and help strengthen the country’s power, improve grip on something (like on some partners), and enhance its world-wide standing. Also, good time for long-term construction projects and reforms, esp. involving international projects, immigration, higher education, religion/belief systems, long-distance travel/shipping, and anything related to steel/metals/mining.

China: There may be an important public announcement, or, announcement that affects large groups of people. The nature of the announcement will likely relate to some law(s) being passed, legal matters, lawyers, international projects, immigration, higher education, religion/belief systems, and long-distance travel or shipping. The most affected areas will include investments, taxes, insurance, recycling, nuclear power, spying/hacking, and reproduction. For ex., some laws may be passed that affect taxation of international entities or foreign investments. This influence is the strongest on Nov 29-30.

———————

NOV 28, 2016 (MON): Medium-strong influence; market may possibly go down (60-65%).

Nov 28-29 (esp. early Nov 29) — Surprises or sudden developments related to financial institutions, funding, sources or profits. The developments would likely be related to governments and/or large corporations (e.g., federal subsidy or tax break). We may hear about activities that arise out-of-the-blue (e.g., some program is abruptly cancelled [possibly due to accident, IT glitch, or military instability]), unexpected funding sources, unusual financial decisions, or profits that are surprisingly less/more (probably less) than anticipated. The areas that such financial decisions could affect the most include electric devices (incl. cars), military (esp. aviation or anything “cyber-…”), aerospace in general,  telecoms, computers, power plants, and IT programs. Finally, there may be greater than usual swings in the forex market (esp. EUR-USD).

Nov 28-30 (esp. Nov 29-30) — Increased focus on oil, chemicals, alcohol, beverages, pharmaceuticals, navy, water, drugs, poisons, pollution, music, movies, photography, spirituality/religion, etc. There may be doubts about the success of some international developments, laws, immigration, diseases, or international travel/shipping. For ex., some international laws may affect oil business or pharmaceutical companies. [International] leaders may not agree on some project in the areas above or there may be confusion about how to proceed.

USA: Nov 28-29 — Focus on long-term projects/policies and governmental or large corporate businesses (esp. large banks and other financial organizations; entities that have been around for a long time). We may hear about some assertive action that affects these businesses and/or fiscal policies. The action may anger some entities as it could be quite decisive. Some new fiscal policy may be announced or there could be news about actions by some large bank, old/authoritative financial organization, or governmental entity. The actions may have a long term effect, or, they may have a greater impact on older, more established, or government-sponsored entities.

USA: Nov 28-30 — Focus on new beginnings — new goals, vision for the future, and partnerships/agreements. Increased news about businesses related to electric devices (incl. cars), aerospace,  telecoms, computers, power plants, and IT programs. The news may be that goals or agreements related to these areas need to be reviewed to ensure the projects’ direction is aligned with the country’s new vision/direction (for the next 12 months).

China: Nov 28-29 — Strong focus on banks, financial organizations, and fiscal policies. We may hear about decisive actions to introduce some changes (the actions may anger some entities). Another possibility is actions that bring about confusion, cover hidden problems, introduce deceptive practices, or create some other concerns (mostly due to the poor understanding of their consequence, hidden details, or lack of clarity). Other possible affected areas include movie/music industry, healthcare, chemicals, and oil — we may hear about investments in these areas, or, some other actions that too cause confusion or are associated with hidden agenda. Finally, we may hear about bad weather or accidents due to water, oil, chemicals, and fire (e.g., fire at an oil refinery or chemical plant).

NOV 29, 2016 (TUE): Strong influence (esp. early am); market may possibly go down (65-70%).

Nov 29-30 — These will probably be days when we will see a reversal (from a MIN/bottom on Tue or Wed to up on Wed or Thur).

NOV 30, 2016 (WED): Medium-strong influence; market may possibly go down (55%). The market may still be down, esp. in the morning, and begin to reverse to up in the afternoon or on Thur.

DEC 01, 2016 (TH): Medium influence; market may possibly go up (60-65%).

Dec 1-2 — Increased focus on international alliances/agreements, legal issues, immigration, religious beliefs, higher education, and long distance transportation/travel. We may hear about the implementation of some major long-term project (e.g., construction of something big) or about legal limitations/controls that will have long-term effect. There may be a legal act or an official governmental agreement to authorize it. It will probably involve electric cars, aviation, IT, and telecoms. For ex., some act to ensure that all higher education institutions have internet access, beginning of some satellite construction/deployment project, or, some legal action that affect international sales of electric cars or airplanes. The agreement/decision may be binding long-term and/or the project may somehow involve restrictions, limitations, and enforcement of boundaries.

USA: Dec 1-2 (esp. Dec 2) — Increased focus on partnerships/agreements, retail sales, and communication/transportation businesses (incl. cars and airlines). We may hear about re-negotiations of some contracts; release of financial reports; and/or review of profits, accumulated wealth, and funding sources. The results of such reviews/reports could indicate shortages in certain areas, waisted opportunities, decreased value, or some other financial concerns (esp. related to taxes, insurance, and investments). For ex., profits may be high, but this negatively affects taxes or insurance; or, accumulated wealth is high but the money is invested in some project(s) which creates shortage in cash on hand. However, the issues will likely be relatively minor.

DEC 02, 2016 (FR): Medium-strong influence; market may possibly go down (55%).

>>>> Quick glance at the weeks following US presidential elections (repeated form last week):

As transiting Jupiter will begin to square US Saturn (rule of the 2nd house of financial institutions and symbol of established order, authority, government, large corporations, etc.) shortly after the elections, there may be a fall out from the elections that affects financial institutions. The effect may be that the established order or established institutions fall under legal scrutiny. Some legal disputes may go on, unwelcome laws may be implemented, or, there may be some [legal] actions that test banks and their stability. Alternatively, there may be conflict at the governmental level between entities trying to enforce some laws and established authorities. For ex., legal disputes involving governmental officials, legal action rattling established authorities, protests against previously implemented controls/limits, removing old regulations, removing old authorities, etc. This influence will be the strongest around Nov 11 to Nov 25 (esp Nov 18). The issue(s) may remain unresolved until the summer of 2017 and/or arise again that summer, mostly in late April through July 2017 (esp. May 08 and July 12).

With legal issues (related to banks and/or country’s leaders) possibly unfolding in the background through next summer, the US will also be experiencing transiting Saturn (control, old established authority, government) square (conflict) to US Mars (military) from late Dec 2016 through Oct of 2017 (see note below about Jul 15-16, 2017). I haven’t finished analyzing long-term transits, but the gist of the influence appears to be that there may be tensions or problems involving US military at the same time as US banks and/or leaders could be dealing with possible legal issues.

———————

>>>> Still reviewing these but wanted to share significant dates ahead of time (repeated from last week):

Dec 31, 2016 — very tense day, globally and for the US — increased possibility of violence, accidents, tensions, fires, fights, disputes, currency value changes (USD possibly gains in value). Increased focus on oil, pharma, chemicals, pollution, navy, chemical weapons, etc. Also in the US,  concerns about navy, flooding, or about shortages or suppression of prices or flow of oil, chemicals, drugs, water, movies, photos, etc.

Jan 14-19 (esp. 16-18), 2017 — globally and for the US — possible escalation of military tensions, esp. related to navy; also, earthquakes, explosions, problems with oil or oil businesses.

May 20-30 (esp. 22-23), 2017 — globally and for the US — possible escalation of military tensions, esp. related to navy; immigration issues; fights over immigration or militarized disputes over international borders.

Jul 15-16, 2017 — for the US — possible escalation of military tensions, problems with military, pressure or suppression of military forces or weapons (esp. navy-related). For ex., restriction on some weapons, gun control, weapons embargo, old weapons breaking, restructuring in the army, etc. Also, anger or disputes over banking [policies/actions] or push for change in the financial structure/banks. Also, problems with or restrictions imposed on businesses related to oil, pharma, chemicals, navy, movies, music, etc. July 15-16 dates are only one of the escalation points. These issues, in general, will likely be felt over the span of several months beginning 12/22/16 – 01/20/17, then 07/01/17 – 10/20/17.
