LONG-TERM:

Global: Video with 2020 predictions on my YouTube channel. 

For ongoing background influences for 2018-2026, see Long Term Astrology Forecast post (no new entries this week). It will be updated as I come up with new long-term predictions. If I do, I’ll mention that the long-term forecast was updated. 

———————

ALL WEEK: 

Global: Ongoing background influence (2019-2020) — Increased probability of a major disaster, very strong earthquake, accident, government reshuffling, corporate restructuring announcement, geopolitical changes, old/established governmental or corporate leaders quitting/dying, changes in leadership of governments or large corporations, or of violent/terrorist attacks. As last week, this week, there may be increased news about governmental/corporate leaders being ousted or attacked, retiring, dying or losing their power in some way. Additionally, there is an increased probability of important events, announcements, or accidents involving mining, coal, steel, minerals, tunnels, bridges, old buildings in general, earthquakes, mudslides, etc. This energy will [again] begin to intensify Sep 23, 2020 and remain strong through the end of the year. (The probability of accidents and disasters will remain high in January of 2021, but in 2021 the focus may shift from earthquakes to violent storms, power outages, airline accidents, fires, etc.) This week, the influence is quite strong with the strongest dates being November 12-16. 

Global: On-off all year (intensified especially in August and November of 2020) — Increased focus on governmental regulations, controls, embargoes, taxes, tariffs, shortages, delays, and building or reorganizing some structures (e.g., literally, building large objects such as dams or bridges, or, changing leadership or restructuring). Increased news about large established corporations going through restructuring and possible shake-ups at the top. These shake-ups may be due to natural disasters, wars, or changes in power/leadership. These changes may be accompanied by increased anti-governmental protests, violence (e.g., shootings, fires, or explosions), news about corruption, scandals involving governmental or corporate officials, attacks on governmental or corporate leaders, etc. The entire month of August may see above average number of various shakeups (incl. natural disasters and corporate restructuring). 

Global/China: Jun 15 – July 10 (esp. June 28-30) and then Nov 04 – 20 (esp. Nov 11-13), 2020 — Increased news about nuclear power, radiation, power plants, recycling plants, shifts in governmental leadership (power changes hands at the top), secretive activities, spying/hacking, underground activities (burials, mining, waste storage, etc.), terrorist activities, and religious activities (not necessarily spiritual but more related to “correct behaviors” or “correct values”), and so on. The nature of the news may be expansion (e.g., new religious rules, new regulations for the power plants, new leadership at governmental or corporate level, an accident that leads to the increase in radiation, etc.), or, death/transformation/rebirth (e.g., death of a prominent leader [esp. religious, diplomat, judge, or professor], closure of related businesses, the end of some program, restarting of a nuclear plant, etc.). The changes will likely involve international partners or groups/community, and may involve changes in regulations (e.g., related to immigration or movement/shipment across borders). With China’s chart transits at the same time, it is possible that one or more scenarios above will involve China (e.g., the country may introduce new regulations on trash recycling, opens a new trading route that possibly goes over the mountains, or deploys some powerful navy vessel).

Global: November 2020 (esp. 2nd and 3rd week) — Increased focus on governmental regulations, controls, embargoes, taxes, tariffs, shortages, delays, and building or reorganizing some structures (e.g., literally, building large objects such as dams or bridges, or, changing leadership or restructuring). Increased news about large established corporations going through restructuring and possible shake-ups at the top. These shake-ups may be due to natural disasters, wars, or changes in power/leadership. These changes may be accompanied by increased anti-governmental protests, violence (e.g., shootings, fires, or explosions), news about corruption, scandals involving governmental or corporate officials, attacks on governmental or corporate leaders, etc. The same time period (esp. around Nov 13 +- a few days) may coincide with a major TOP or BOTTOM of the stock market (my guess is TOP at this time). Update (09.13.20): Around November 13 (Friday) to November 16 (Monday), 2020 we can expect a similarly large market move as we had back on April 3 to April 6 (Friday to Monday). On April 6, 2020 Dow Jones closed up 1,627.46 points or 7.73%, at 22,679.99, posting its third biggest point gain ever (reference1), with DJIA dropping 2.7% the week prior (reference2). In any case, November 16, 2020 looks like a large move day (probably up). By November 19, 2020 the direction may change. 

USA: September – December 2020 — Increased focus on finance, earnings, assets, banks, financial institutions, financial policies, rates, debt, loans, taxes, and insurance. This includes concerns about financial manipulations, hidden money, illegal payments, corruption, debt, bankruptcies, loss of earnings because of some governmental regulations, arguments over police or military costs, etc. Concerns about earnings, financial institutions, and debt may remain strong in September-October 2020 and then re-ignite in late December 2020 through early January 2021. In November 2020, around Nov 6-9, some governmental regulations may be put in place to provide support to banks/financial institutions [through “tough love” approach, like by asking them to cut operational costs], better control financial flow/transactions, or to increase earnings by imposing some limitations (import quotas? tariffs? budget cuts?). In November, we may also hear about restructuring of banks/financial institutions, reduction in the number of locations, reduced services, or some other losses or voluntary cuts.

China: Oct 5 – Dec 23 (esp. Oct 7-9, Nov 7-13, and Dec 15-19), 2020 — Increased news about water, pollution, floods, navy, oil, gas, pharmaceuticals, infectious diseases, hospitals, hidden places, secrets, etc. Update (10.21.20): Crude oil stockpiles (esp. those housed in floating storage) and port congestion may increase and possibly peak (particularly around Nov 7-13). Also, during this period (Oct – Dec 2020), a structure, company, leader, or a project in one or more of the areas above may be removed, cancelled, or replaced. The events may be a part of some large long-term initiative to completely revamp or reform one or more of these domains. For example, we may hear about a new major undertaking to address water pollution, deal with port congestion, update nuclear power plants, expand navy capabilities (incl. nuclear subs), expand the number of oil tankers or other floating structures (e.g., floating storage, nuclear stations, ships, etc.), build a solution to prevent devastating floods or rebuild after such floods, reform healthcare approach, or distribute an innovative medical treatment (incl. vaccines and any treatments that aid in tissue regeneration, extend life, or deal with mental health issues). The efforts may include implementing new laws, seeking support from the international community, expanding international influence, expanding projects related to long-distance travel/shipments (e.g., increasing the number of ships, routes, ports, stations, etc.), withdrawing from some international arrangements, creating new international alliances, and so on. The changes will likely be major and long lasting (decades).

China: Oct 24 – Dec 08 (esp. Oct 29 and Nov 27-28), 2020 — Increased probability of an important announcement related to banks, financial institutions, earnings, currency, loans, rates, etc. We may hear about a forceful move forward to accomplish some important goal in this area (e.g., to increase earnings, establish a dominant position, etc.). There may be an announcement of a new ambitious project. There may be two separate announcements, one at the end of Oct and one, at the end of Nov; or, there may be two phases to the proposal/project.

China/CORONAVIRUS outbreak: Issues related to the viral illness outbreak will likely persist throughout the entire year. There may be escalations or some sort of increased activities around Mar 9 – 27 (esp. Mar 17-22), Jul 6 – 24 (esp. Jul 11-12), and Oct 26 – Nov 20 (esp. Nov 9-13), which may be followed by positive news of a lucky break, improvement, drop/rise in death toll, regulations, radical measures, or a major transformation of the status quo (e.g., a reform in how something is handled). The period of Aug-Nov of 2020 will probably be the most intense.

OIL: Nov 2020 – Feb 2021 (esp. end of Jan 2021) may see an accident possibly resulting in water pollution and/or some other significant developments related to oil, gas, chemicals, etc. At the same time (end of Jan 2021), there may be some surprising unexpected developments related to earnings, finance, currencies, and banks; this may involve airlines, telecoms, and IT companies — sudden bankruptcies? companies breaking into multiple entities? Massive power/service outages? A spike of problems in the areas above and increased market volatility are likely around Jan 18-29, 2021. Then, in Apr 2021 (esp. 8-11), there may be renewed tensions and fighting over oil or about oil prices. These tensions may be accompanied by a large market drop on Apr 8 and/or 9, 2021. Yet another time of increased oil news (as well as news about gas, chemicals, and pharmaceuticals) will be on Sep 1-3, 2021. The news will probably involve tensions, attacks, arguments, etc. — this may result in a large market drop on Sep 3, 2021.

DAILY:

NOV 9, 2020 (MON): Strong influence; market may go up (55%). Today and also on Th (12th), we may hear about changes in the value of weapons; or, about negotiations related to military support/partnerships, weapons, or sports. The situation may involve a conflict or disagreement where military support is not provided as requested, the quality of weapons is lower than expected, the cost is too high, etc. The weapons may be nuclear, or, in parallel there may be some unfolding developments this week that involve nuclear weapons, nuclear power plants, and recycling businesses.

Nov 5-16, 2020 — A major TOP or BOTTOM of the stock market (my guess is TOP around Nov 13-16). Additionally, increased focus on ballooning debt, increase in taxes/insurance, legal reforms, tax reforms, changes in immigration policies, international relations, and long distance shipment/travel. Also, a period when we may hear about massive lawsuits (esp. involving police, spies, taxes, and secrets), protests against laws (e.g., immigration laws) and against the police. There may be increased news about new laws or scandals involving police, secret agencies, immigration, higher education, or foreign affairs (e.g., a police reform is announced or international agreements are severed). Also, increased news about power plays among international partners, attacks on judges/clergy/professors/immigrants, and manipulative/illegal behaviors involving diplomats, judges, religious figures, and universities. For ex., a famous professor (or judge, diplomat, clergy person, leader of some immigrant community, etc.) is discovered to be a spy, attacks someone, or is attacked. 

Nov 6-19 — Greater than usual market moves are likely, regardless of the direction. Developments at this time may be related to some geopolitical tensions, arguments over contracts/deals/tariffs/taxes, scandals involving governmental officials or high level corporate officers, and possibly some announcement out of China related to finance/earnings (alternatively, China’s announcement is going to be in response to these outside developments). We will likely also hear about signifiant developments involving nuclear power, recycling businesses, power plants in general, secret service/police-type organizations, underground construction or storage, and major power shifts (on a governmental and corporate level). The developments will likely involve expansion of related businesses, expansion of power, increase in the number of power plants, increase in radiation, concerns about the excess of trash or excessive pollution, increased news about some secretive/illegal activities (e.g., illegal immigration, bribing judges, cheating in college admissions on a large scale, etc.), violation of laws or overstepping some legal boundaries, increased focus on police activities, police exercising excessive force, etc.

USA: Nov 03-16, 2020 (esp. Nov 9-10) — Increase in the value of businesses or products related to oil, gas, pharmaceuticals, chemicals, navy, water, fish, beverages, drugs, lies/confusion, religion, movies, music, etc. The cost of the related products or profits from related areas may go up. At the same time, the quantities or availability of the related products may increase (e.g., some law is passed that benefits oil industry, pharmaceutical companies, movie studios, etc.). There may also be important legal changes and/or financing decisions (made by the governmental authorities or large corporate entities) that are supportive of the related industries. For ex., some source of funding is approved, an international contract is signed with beneficial terms, or, related items (e.g., alcoholic beverages, medicines, oil, fish, etc.) are made easier to import/export. This period may also see an increase in real estate prices and increase in banks’ assets. 

China: Oct 27 – Nov 30 (esp. Nov 6-16), 2020 — Increased focus on oil, gas, water, navy, pharmaceuticals, chemicals, floods, pollution, deception, secrets, etc. as well as financial institutions, earnings, rates, and loans. There may be an important announcement, such as about a new financial policy or a start of an aggressive/risky initiative to increase earnings (this may well involve military or weapons). This focus on oil, navy, floods, pharmaceuticals, etc. will likely persist through the end of Nov and may be accompanied by increased problems or accidents. 

NOV 10, 2020 (TUE): Strong influence; market may go up (60%). 

China: Nov 10-11, 2020 — Increased news about earnings, foreign relations, long distance travel/transportation, laws, and real estate investments. The news will probably be positive (e.g., increased profits, beneficial international arrangements, expansion of long distance shipments, laws facilitating international expansion, etc.).

NOV 11, 2020 (WED): Medium-Strong influence; market may go up (55%). 

NOV 12, 2020 (TH): Strong influence; market may go down (60%). If some negotiations (esp. involving military, weapons, or sports) took place on Mon, they may resume or have some follow up actions today — for ex., the costs are better defined, the value drops, etc.

NOV 13, 2020 (FR): Strong influence; market may go down (60-65%). Regardless of the direction, there will probably be a reversal from Fr (13th) to Mon (16th). This may be due to some new surprising developments or announcements over the weekend (esp. Sun) or on Monday (16th). The announcements may have to do with banks, financial institutions, taxes, rates, currencies, debt, loans, etc. Additionally, or alternatively, the announcements may involve telecoms, IT, electric cars, aerospace, high tech, social media, etc. The move on Monday (16th) may be up on some exuberant hopes/expectations about a deal being reached or about some judgment or legal decision. The optimism on Mon (16th) may be over-the-top and lead to some entities or their products being over-valued. This exaggerated optimism may subside in the following days; by Nov 19-20, the value of the over-priced products/stocks/companies/etc. may drop. The surprising news from Nov 15-16 may be followed by another surprise on Nov 28 (Fr.) — for ex., a surprising deal is announced on 11/16 but then the price or terms are [unexpectedly] adjusted on 11/28.

USA: Nov 13 – Dec 10, 2020 (esp. Nov 18-19 and Dec 3-10) — Increased focus on earnings, banks, financial institutions, loans, rates, debt, taxes, etc. This may especially involve education, communication, and transportation; and can include news about contracts, loans, deals, sales, and negotiations with international partners. There may be some legal changes in how these businesses operate, conditions for borrowing,  tax obligations, or rates. The changes may be significant and have long-term effects. The events may include some restrictions imposed around Nov 18-19 followed by the lifting of the restrictions or some improved conditions in early December.

>>>> Glance ahead (repeated from last week):

China: Dec 17, 2020 – end go Jan 2021 (esp. Dec 25 through Jan 2) — Focus on major new beginnings for the country. New grand visions and plans, re-building, restructuring, large engineering projects, grand projects involving IT, AI, aerospace, high tech, networks, power plants, as well as healthcare and veterinary care. Increased sense of importance and significance of some new start or acceleration to achieve greater heights. Increased focus on international relations and greater involvement in organizations, building new alliances, and status changes (e.g., related to Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) membership). At this time, some previously hidden projects may gain the attention and be proudly presented to the world. These may relate to oil, gas, chemicals, water, floods, dams, navy, pollution, healthcare, infectious diseases, vaccines, hospitals, prisons, movies, music, and audio-visual equipment. Also, some new laws and regulations may be passed, possibly related to human rights and freedoms. 

Global: Second half of Dec, 2020 — Tense times with increased probability of strong earthquakes, geopolitical tensions, disasters, accidents, protests (esp. against governments, old established leaders, police, or entities involved in secretive illegal activities), violent attacks, fires, explosions, etc. In particular, Dec 23, 2020 looks tense. 

Global: Dec 19-23, 2020 — Important changes for businesses related to IT, aerospace, telecoms, social media, high tech, electric cars, electronics, etc. This may involve new laws that aim to regulate these businesses, protect intellectual property, or establish some legal precedent. We may also hear about limitations imposed on international travel, immigration, and higher education. 

Global: January 07 – February 07, 2021 (esp. Jan 9-31; Feb 5) —  Eventful time with greater than usual market volatility, surprising developments (esp. related to IT, telecoms, aerospace, cryptocurrencies, communication and transportation businesses, social media, and education). We may hear about important legal decisions, new laws, international agreements (or conflicts), decisions about long distance travel and announcements about the funding, sale or acquisition of major businesses (possibly related to banking, IT, social media, news, communication, and aerospace). For ex., we may hear about some surprising decision to start/stop funding on a major transportation project (esp. related to rail ways, cars, and airplanes). There may also be increased news about earthquakes, power outages, and accidents/disasters (esp. involving explosions, fires, and strong winds).

USA: Jan 20, 2020 (Presidential Inauguration day) — Exact Mars conjunction Uranus in Taurus (both squaring Jupiter and Saturn in Aquarius) — Increased probability of surprising unexpected developments, incl. accidents (esp. involving airplanes, flying objects, gas, or some airborne objects), fires, explosions, service outages (esp. social media or trading platforms), power outages, super windy conditions, and stock market volatility (incl. Forex and cryptocurrencies). 

China: October – December 2020 — Heightened risk of dangerous situations due to floods, infectious diseases, pollution, etc. (esp. the week of Oct 12, the week of Nov 9, and mid-December). Also, increased probability of large earthquakes, mudslides, or some other disasters/accidents that involve old structures, ancient sites, earth, nuclear power plants/weapons, dams, recycling businesses, underground storage, waste storage or disposal locations, and long distance transportation (esp. in the mountains, tunnels, underground, over water, or under water).

Global: Dec 2020-Feb 2021 — Increased news about large corporations and/or governments declaring bankruptcies and/or getting bailouts. In particular, areas related to IT, telecoms, electric power, social networks, aerospace, etc. may be affected. More generally, there may be a lot of restructuring in these areas. Changes may be accompanied by service outages. Outages may also be caused by turbulent weather (winds, electric storms, ice storms) and/or increased seismic activity. 

Global/USA: April, August, and December of 2021 — Increased focus on gold prices and the value of US dollar. Gold prices may reverse at those times; this may be related to some monetary policy changes in the US. The situation or issues may first arise in April, be reviewed in August, and reach final resolution/peak in December.

Global: Sep 1-3, 2021 — Increased stressful news about oil, gas, chemicals, pharmaceuticals, navy, religion, drugs, poisons, lies, beverages, music, movies, etc. This may result in a large market drop on Sep 3, 2021.

USA: 2022-2023 — Difficult and may be even turbulent times. Coincides with Neptune’s (confusion, deception, water, oil, chemicals, etc.) transit through the 4th house of real-estate, land, farming, banks, assets, etc. as well as Pluto return (a major overhaul of all old systems and power structures, a rebirth; may be accompanied by scandals and power struggles at the top). Fluctuation in real-estate prices, problems with the banks and financial institutions (banks under water?), floods destroying land and agriculture, oil spills, chemical poisoning of soil, confusion about the borders (of the country and individual entities, such as states), confusion about the leadership, overhaul of the financial system, power plays among corporate and governmental entities [to gain control over resources / profits], overhaul of the power structures, reform or dismantling of power structures or powerful organizations (such as police, nuclear power plants, and banks), massive tax reforms, and even constitutional changes. This may be a chaotic time, but the events may result in certain outdated power structures and dysfunctional systems being purged/reformed. 

Global: Neptune conjunct Saturn in 2025 through early 2026 may coincide with another major viral epidemic. Neptune/Saturn conjunction was in effect during the deadly Spanish flu pandemic of 1918, which killed an estimated 20-50 million people. With Neptune entering Aries at the same time (Aries rules things like military, war, sports, surgery, fire, etc.), the outbreak may be associated with inflammation, fever, dehydration, etc. and/or may be related to bioweapon development, fires spreading pollution, lack of [clean] water due to drought, etc.  

USA: Apr 21 – May 30, 2025 (esp. May 5-12, 2025) and Jan-Feb 2026 — Greater than usual moves in gold and/or silver prices, notable events related to US monetary policy and/or currency value changes.
