October 5 – 9, 2015: Financial astrology predictions

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: Feb 2015 — March 2016 (esp. late March/early April 2015, and Sep 2015 through Feb 2016) — Major changes in international relationships. This is a very slow gradual change with the ultimate effect of dissolving old ties and alliances. In the process, there will be a lot of confusion and possible deception and disillusion (e.g., partners fail to follow through on agreements). There will be a strong spiritual or religious element to these ties — some alliances may spring up or disappear because of similarities or differences in ideals and vision for the future. Other important areas that will affect partnerships are common views/goals related to oil, healthcare, and water/navy. This week, this influence will peak around Sep 7.

Astrologically, this influence relates to the transiting Neptune (religion) squaring US Descendent (marriage/partnerships). It is interesting that the Neptune transit to the US Descendent coincides with the first ever Pope’s visit to the USA. The last time this aspect was in effect was in 1851-52, which corresponded with important activities related to the LDS Church.

USA: Mar 2015 — Apr 2016 (esp. April 2015, mid-Aug 2015, and mid-Feb 2016) — Major changes in transportation and communication industries as well as retail sales (related mostly to web-based and electronic transactions, which require data transfers). This is a very slow gradual change with the ultimate effect of dissolving old ways of doing things (e.g., commuting, communicating, shipping, traveling, and buying/selling) and coming up with new ways. This is likely to involve dissolution and mergers of transportation and communication companies, incl. companies that process payments electronically (e.g., Western Union).

Other affected areas will be aerospace, telecoms, IT industry, electric engines, electronics, gadgets, and similar industries. The changes will likely have to do with oil (e.g., oil prices affect shipping and flights), healthcare (e.g., spread of some contagious disease affects travel), water (e.g., floods, rains, etc. affect transportation; travel by water becomes much more or less popular; new cable is laid under water; etc.), navy (e.g., there are some problems with or confusion about aerospace projects, island bases, submarines, ships that carry planes over water, etc.), chemicals/pollution (e.g., shipping accidents resulting in pollution or poisoning may increase), movies/music (e.g., developments in the entertainment industry will lead to reorganization of the media companies or push these companies to implement new hi-tech approaches for signal transmission), and spirituality/religion (e.g., some people’s beliefs will not agree with new technology like robots and autopilot). Ideological battles over new technology may manifest as increased arguments over what is healthy, spiritual, and how to prevent pollution. New controls to prevent infectious diseases from spreading through travel may be invented or implemented.

Astrologically, this influence relates to the transiting Neptune (religion) squaring US Uranus (high tech, sudden change) in the 7th house of partnerships, ruler of the 3rd house of transportation/communication. The last time this aspect was in effect was in 1851-52, which corresponded with outbreaks of cholera and flu.

China: Jan 2014 — Jan 2016 (esp., Mar-Jun 2014, Dec 2014 – Mar 2015, Jun-Dec 2015) — Major transformation of financial system, approaches to accumulating wealth, investments, rates, taxes, insurance, managing stock market and any gambling or risky activities. Some governmental or corporate controls will be placed to regulate matters so that they remain in balance.

China: The entire month of Oct, esp. Oct 12-22, there is an increased likelihood of distressing news about the stock market.
———————

OCT 5, 2015 (MON): Strong influence; market may possibly go down (60-65%).

Oct 5-6 (Mon-Tue) to Oct 7 (Wed) may see a reversal and big market moves. The direction of the reversal will probably be from down on Oct 5 to up in the afternoon of Oct 6, or, from down on Oct 5-6 to up on Oct 7. Oct 5-6 look stressful, or at least filled with important news; large market move is highly likely. Very strong focus on water/navy, oil, chemicals, and healthcare/pharmaceuticals (news will either be stressful, such as about an escalation of military activities in open waters, or, the news will be about the change in the value of related entities).

This influence relates, in part, to the transiting Mars/Neptune opposition. It’s curious that “The Martian” has been released right during this aspect, as Mars relates to Mars (duh) and Neptune relates to the movie industry. I wonder if the timing is coincidental or if Hollywood execs have astrologers on staff. 🙂

The entire week, Oct 5-9, there may be increased focus in the news on the expansion of governmental entities (or expansion of their regulatory powers) responsible for regulating governments and large corporations. There may be news about workforce and/or healthcare (esp. related to reproduction) that will benefit these governmental structures as well as large corporate entities or somehow give them more power.

Additionally, Oct 5-16, we may hear about improvements and expansion related to mining, steel, and manufacturers of some heavy equipment that uses iron/steel (e.g., that the number of the mines increased, conditions in the mines improved, that they produce more ore, etc.).

USA: Oct 5-6, may see increased stressful news about banks, financial institutions, loans, taxes, insurance, and rates. Some major change in this area may be under way (something that has been unfolding during the past few years and will continue to take place in the upcoming months; am guessing it’s related to Fed Reserve’s rate adjustments/QE). The news may come out highlighting negative impacts of this transformation on the country’s image and/or status on the world arena.

China: Oct 5-6 (esp. 6) may see increased news about investments, stock market, loans, rates, insurance, taxes, etc. The news may come out highlighting the need to regulate something to avoid frequent direction changes, to avoid hidden communication, to prevent contracts based on incorrect information/lies, etc.

China: Oct 5-9 may see increased news about breakthroughs in medicine, spread of some illness, expansion of the navy and/or industries that deal with chemicals, and/or news about flooding.

OCT 6, 2015 (TUE): Very strong influence; market may possibly go down (70%). This will likely be a reversal day (unless the bottom was already reach Mon) with the market hitting a LOW/Bottom today (esp. in the morning) and reversing to go up either in the afternoon or on Wed, Sep 7.

OCT 7, 2015 (WED): Medium-strong mixed influence; market may possibly go up (55-60%). While there are both positive and stressful influences today, I believe the up move is more likely to compensate for stressful Mon-Tue. The up move may not last too long or be very strong.

Additionally, on Oct 7-9, there may be an important announcement about some partnership — this will likely occur at a big gathering like a convention/conference and will involve a merger and forming an alliance, or, companies/countries breaking an agreement, splitting, and parting ways. This may involve some restructuring and splitting the company to improve growth.

China: Increased likelihood of news about banks/financial institutors. The news may be positive and/or highlight ongoing/planned improvements (e.g., some problem was discovered but it is being addressed promptly). The issue may also relate to investments in oil and/or pharmaceutical/chemical industry, or, it may relate to navy (e.g., plans are made to expand/improve this area).

OCT 8, 2015 (TH): Medium-strong mixed influence; market may possibly go up (55%). The morning may see an up moved followed by a down move in the afternoon.

OCT 9, 2015 (FR): Strong mixed influence; market may possibly go down (60%). The down influence is stronger in the late afternoon and may be due to concerns about the availability of money (e.g., profits fall short of expectations, forecast is gloomy, money flow is restricted, etc.). At the same time, there may be positive news about manufacturing (esp. heavy equipment), mining, and/or steel industries. This can be a reversal day with the market reversing from Fr, Oct 9, to Mon, Oct 12, probably from low on Fr to an up move on Mon. The time of the reversal depends on the [likely positive] news about mining, manufacturing, etc., which may come from China — if the news comes out on Fr, we may see an up move on Fr. Else, the up move will probably occur on Mon (the positive news are more likely on Mon).

China: Oct 9-16 — There will likely be increased news (probably positive and related to manufacturing, esp. anything that uses steel products, as well as mining) and news about various agreements/contracts/negotiations. The positive news are the most likely on Oct 12-13.

September 28 – October 2, 2015: Financial astrology predictions

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.

Ideological battles over new technology may manifest as increased arguments over what is healthy, spiritual, and how to prevent pollution. New controls to prevent infectious diseases from spreading through travel may be invented or implemented.

China: Jan 2014 —  Jan 2016 (esp., Mar-Jun 2014, Dec 2014 – Mar 2015, Jun-Dec 2015) — Major transformation of financial system, approaches to accumulating wealth, investments, rates, taxes, insurance, managing stock market and any gambling or risky activities. Some governmental or corporate controls will be placed to regulate matters so that they remain in balance.

———————

SEP 28, 2015 (MON): Medium influence; market may possibly go up (55%). The up influence is stronger in the afternoon.

USA: Increased potential of positive news related to communications and transportation industries, incl. telecoms and aerospace-related businesses (e.g., that some agreement was reached and parties were able to reach a compromise).

USA and China: Increased news about banks/financial institutions, stock market (China only), and foreign debt/loans (USA only) in the first half of the day. The news may be slightly stressful, but probably of relatively minor consequence.

SEP 29, 2015 (TUE): Medium influence; market may possibly go up (60%).

USA: On Sep 29-30, there may be positive (that is, positively received by general public) announcements about banks/financial institutions, debt, loans, interest rates, insurance, and/or taxes. The news may come out at some public event, gathering, or a conference.

SEP 30, 2015 (WED): Medium influence; market may possibly go up (60%).

OCT 1, 2015 (TH): Strong influence; market may possibly go up (60%).

Oct 1-2 (esp. late pm on the 2nd): Increased news about silver and gold; possibly larger than usual move in prices and/or a minor reversal (likely from a low point to up).

OCT 2, 2015 (FR): Medium influence; market may possibly go up (60%).

China: Increased likelihood of news related to stock market and the country’s vision for the future — the news may be mildly upsetting or surprising (e.g., there is rapid change in direction of some negotiations or a surprising agreement/contract). An agreement may be reached (or broken off) or a judgment may be made to balance something perceived as too risky or unstable.

————————

Glance ahead:

China: The entire month of Oct, esp. Oct 12-22, there is an increased likelihood of distressing news about stock market.

Oct 5-6 (Mon-Tue) to Oct 7 (Wed) may see a reversal and big market moves. The direction of the reversal will probably be from down on Oct 5 to up in the afternoon of Oct 6, or, from down on Oct 5-6 to up on Oct 7. Oct 5-6 look stressful, or at least filled with important news; large market move is highly likely. Very strong focus on water/navy, oil, chemicals, and healthcare/pharmaceuticals (news will either be stressful, such as about an escalation of military activities in open waters, or, the news will be about the change in the value of related entities).

Oct 9 (Fr), esp. late pm, can also see a strong market move. This can be a reversal day (direction TBD). There will likely be increased news from China (probably positive and related to manufacturing, esp. anything that uses steel products) and news about various agreements/contracts/negotiations.

Oct 14 (Wed) — Important day in general and a day of increased news from China. The news from China will likely focus on (a) manufacturing and steel products as above, though this time the news may be less positive or even stressful, and (b) oil, pharmaceuticals, pollution, secret activities, chemicals, etc. There could also be news about China making a strong move to strengthen/organize its military or mobilize military to deal with an earthquake or a situation that involves moving soil/rocks/metals (like a building collapse, mine accident, road blocked by a rock, etc.).

Oct 15-16 (Th-Fr) — strong influence days; increased likelihood of a large market move (probably down); likely a MIN/bottom followed by a reversal on Mon.

Oct 22 (Th) — potentially a stressful day (market down), in part due to the stressful news about Chinese stock market.

Oct 30 (Fr) — potentially a stressful day for the USA market (market down). This may possibly be due to the stressful news about the Chinese stock market and/or concerns about the US banks/financial institutions. News about oil, military activities, and navy may increase as well.

Week of Nov 23 (Thanksgiving week in the USA) — as mentioned before, a rather important week. Super strong focus on oil, chemicals, steel, water (e.g., floods), navy, pharmaceuticals, etc. A major reversal in the value of the related businesses/stocks/commodities is likely, probably due to concerns about shortages (actual or artificially created through, for example, introducing sanctions/laws). Nov 23 (Mon) may see strong currency fluctuations as well (#forex #EUR-USD).

———————

SEP 21, 2015 (MON): Medium influence; market may possibly go down (55%).

Sep 21-22: Increased focus on foreign currencies (some positive news likely, like new initiatives aimed at increasing money flow have produced desired results). Additionally, increased probability of positive news about industries and initiatives related to electricity, telecoms, electronics, aerospace, electric engines, etc. — for ex., that these businesses are profitable, well-liked, and attractive.

China: On Sep 21-22, there may be mildly negative news about finances related to foreign connections and domestic policies — for ex., there is a shortage of cash or the value of something domestic has decreased because of some agreement or disagreement with international partners.

China: Sep 21-25 — likely increased news about banks/financial system and stock market (esp. businesses or commodities related to mining). These may not be stressful (except for Sep 22), but may involve stalled negotiations, delayed agreements, or reversed decisions (esp. related to transportation or communication/media).

SEP 22, 2015 (TUE): Medium influence; market may possibly go down (60%). Early in the morning, there may be concerns about a disagreement between companies, parties, sides, or countries — this may involve obstacles from the government or some strict rules (esp. on travel or communication), and/or  mining. In the morning, there may also be concerns about banks (US and China) or stock market (China).

Sep 23-24 (though possibly as early as 22): There may be an important announcement about an agreement, peaceful resolution, joining of the forces (e.g., between companies or countries),  some union, or a balanced decision. Alternatively, some prominent leader (likely male or a masculine woman) may address the need for an agreement or a fair/balanced resolution at some large public gathering.

SEP 23, 2015 (WED): Strong influence; market may possibly go down (60-65%).

Sep 23-25 look stressful — some negotiations may not work out (probably because government or large corporations will block it), parties will have a hard time finding a diplomatic resolution, progress/movement forward may stall causing a major headache/frustration. The developments will likely relate to long distance travel (esp. by train), immigration, higher education, and any foreign connections — for ex., Siryan refugees are prohibited from traveling by train [at all; possibly due to an accident or concerns about hygiene/diseases], some engine malfunctions because it is old/faulty, fire is hard to stop, etc. At the same time, there may be concerns about banks (USA and China) and/or stock market (China). Lastly, there may be increased news about iron/steel (probably stressful or about shortages), mines and railroads (possible accidents or protests/strikes), as well as earthquakes and fires.

SEP 24, 2015 (TH): Strong influence; market may possibly go down (65-70%).

SEP 25, 2015 (FR): Very strong influence; market will probably go down (70-75%).

September 14-19, 2015: Financial astrology predictions

Global: Early Sep to third week of Sep (esp. Sep 16-17) — News related to water, oil, drugs, chemicals, alcohol, deceases, spirituality/religion, and healthcare may come into focus (to peak around mid-September). The focus will likely be on abundance and excess (e.g., too much oil, flooding, going overboard with religious fanaticism, spread of diseases, spread of drugs/chemicals/water pollution, etc.). Illusions, delusions, or deceptions, can find more support than usual — investors may be swayed by some beautiful vision and overlook the details/fine print or facts. On the other hand, this is a good time for the movie industry, photography, selling alcohol, surfing boards, music, preaching, etc. — audiences will crave an escape from the “harsh reality” into the world of magic or inspiration more than usual.

USA: Feb 2015 —  March 2016 (esp. late March/early April 2015, and Sep 2015 through Feb 2016) — Major changes in international relationships. This is a very slow gradual change with the ultimate effect of dissolving old ties and alliances. In the process, there will be a lot of confusion and possible deception and disillusion (e.g., partners fail to follow through on agreements). There will be a strong spiritual or religious element to these ties — some alliances may spring up or disappear because of similarities or differences in ideals and vision for the future. Other important areas that will affect partnerships are common views/goals related to oil, healthcare, and water/navy. This week, this influence will peak around Sep 7.

Astrologically, this influence relates to the transiting Neptune (religion) squaring US Descendent (marriage/partnerships). It is interesting that the Neptune transit to the US Descendent coincides with the first ever Pope’s visit to the USA. The last time this aspect was in effect was in 1851-52, which corresponded with important activities related to the LDS Church.

USA: Mar 2015 —  Apr 2016 (esp. April 2015, mid-Aug 2015, and mid-Feb 2016) — Major changes in transportation and communication industries as well as retail sales (related mostly to web-based and electronic transactions, which require data transfers). This is a very slow gradual change with the ultimate effect of dissolving old ways of doing things (e.g., commuting, communicating, shipping, traveling, and buying/selling) and coming up with new ways. This is likely to involve dissolution and mergers of transportation and communication companies, incl. companies that process payments electronically (e.g., Western Union).

Other affected areas will be aerospace, telecoms, IT industry, electric engines, electronics, gadgets, and similar industries. The changes will likely have to do with oil (e.g., oil prices affect shipping and flights), healthcare (e.g., spread of some contagious disease affects travel), water (e.g., floods, rains, etc. affect transportation; travel by water becomes much more or less popular; new cable is laid under water; etc.), navy (e.g., there are some problems with or confusion about aerospace projects, island bases, submarines, ships that carry planes over water, etc.), chemicals/pollution (e.g., shipping accidents resulting in pollution or poisoning may increase), movies/music (e.g., developments in the entertainment industry will lead to reorganization of the media companies or push these companies to implement new hi-tech approaches for signal transmission), and spirituality/religion (e.g., some people’s beliefs will not agree with new technology like robots and autopilot). Ideological battles over new technology may manifest as increased arguments over what is healthy, spiritual, and how to prevent pollution. New controls to prevent infectious diseases from spreading through travel may be invented or implemented.

Astrologically, this influence relates to the transiting Neptune (religion) squaring US Uranus (high tech, sudden change) in the 7th house of partnerships, ruler of the 3rd house of transportation/communication. The last time this aspect was in effect was in 1851-52, which corresponded with outbreaks of cholera and flu.

China: Jan 2014 —  Jan 2016 (esp., Mar-Jun 2014, Dec 2014 – Mar 2015, Jun-Dec 2015) — Major transformation of financial system, approaches to accumulating wealth, investments, rates, taxes, insurance, managing stock market and any gambling or risky activities. Some governmental or corporate controls will be placed to regulate matters so that they remain in balance.

———————

SEP 14, 2015 (MON): Medium-strong influence; market may possibly go up (60-65%). On Mon-Tue early am, there may be good news about leaders reaching an agreement, talks going smoothly, and parties choosing diplomatic solutions. Overall, the mood should be relatively upbeat.

Sep 14-19, esp. 14-16 — Increased focus on oil, water (e.g., floods, bad weather, pollution, etc.), navy, drugs, chemicals, healthcare, religion, and movie/music industries. The nature of the news will be that there is an abundance of something to the point of where things end up going overboard. Also highlighted will be a theme of victimization, salvation, healing, and helping the needy (to the point of completely sacrificing oneself).

USA (Sep 14-15): Some news related to the subjects above (oil, etc.) will be highlighted. It will either be positive (like things are going strong) or will clarify a previously confusing issue — now the course may be clear on how to proceed. This issue may relate to farming, food/beverage industry, maternal or end-of-life healthcare, real estate, housing, and borders. For ex., the decision is made about water or pesticides needed for farming, drug related to motherhood or elderly, plan to house victims of some disaster, etc.

China: On Sep 14-18, there is an increased probability of some important news about financial system and banks, esp. in relationship to foreign matters/relationships. The nature of the news may be to clarify something, put something in writing, and/or announce plans for a decrease/constrain (the latter is the strongest on Sep 17). The plans at this time may be preliminary — the decision will probably be revisited again.

SEP 15, 2015 (TUE): Strong influence; market may possibly go up (60%). The mood should continue to be relatively upbeat today.

SEP 16, 2015 (WED): Strong influence; market may possibly go up (65%). Today may be a day when the market reaches a major high on some hopes/optimism.

Sep 16-17 — likely, a major market reversal (+- 1-2 days), probably from up to down. There may also be major news about oil at this time (e.g., that there is too much of oil, that the price decrease went over board, that something is way too under/over-estimated, etc.).

Sep 8-18: Increased focus on hope and optimism, idealism, sacrifice, starry-eyed or delusional views about economic conditions, lies and confusion — this will likely relate to healthcare, oil, and spirituality. Calls for humane attitudes, attention to healing, religion, and salvation will peak. Good time for meditation, spiritual retreats, healing and helping others to heal. The down side of this influence is that decisions taken at this time will likely be based on hopes and idealistic aspirations without any concern for practical implementation. Thus, big dreams conceived at this time may not be implemented [because they are unrealistic]. After peaking around Sep 16, the idealistic vibe will begin to dissipate and an awakening to the harsh “reality” may bring the market down. Some grand visions or calls for sacrifice will begin to lose their appeal.

SEP 17, 2015 (TH): Strong influence; market may possibly go down (65%). The down influence is the strongest late pm. A major reversal is likely — it will probably be related to oil, water, religion, foreign developments, etc. and/or a deflation of the hopeful/optimistic but unrealistic expectations.

SEP 18, 2015 (FR): Strong influence; market may possibly go down (60-65%). Likely, a reversal day (instead of the 17th) and/or a day when the reversal from the 17th will be followed by another strong down move.

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: There may be positive news about the economy and country’s future goals/vision with focus on international expansion, higher education, and immigration. Gold prices may see a big move on the 18th (esp. in the afternoon) and/or on the 21st — possibly a reversal from down to up. On the 18th-19th, transiting Mars will oppose US Moon — in the past, this often coincided with gold prices forming a MIN (which means an up move followed immediately).

September 7 -11, 2015: Weekly financial astrology predictions & a few notes on Sep 16-18

Global: Early Sep to third week of Sep (esp. Sep 16-17) — News related to water, oil, drugs, chemicals, alcohol, deceases, spirituality/religion, and healthcare may come into focus (to peak around mid-September). The focus will likely be on abundance and excess (e.g., too much oil, flooding, going overboard with religious fanaticism, spread of diseases, spread of drugs/chemicals/water pollution, etc.). Illusions, delusions, or deceptions, can find more support than usual — investors may be swayed by some beautiful vision and overlook the details/fine print or facts. On the other hand, this is a good time for the movie industry, photography, selling alcohol, surfing boards, music, preaching, etc. — audiences will crave an escape from the “harsh reality” into the world of magic or inspiration more than usual.

USA: Sep 1-15 (esp. Sep 7) — Positive news about expansion of international relationships and country’s future goals and vision; increased optimism about the economy.

USA: Feb 2015 —  March 2016 (esp. late March/early April 2015, and Sep 2015 through Feb 2016) — Major changes in international relationships. This is a very slow gradual change with the ultimate effect of dissolving old ties and alliances. In the process, there will be a lot of confusion and possible deception and disillusion (e.g., partners fail to follow through on agreements). There will be a strong spiritual or religious element to these ties — some alliances may spring up or disappear because of similarities or differences in ideals and vision for the future. Other important areas that will affect partnerships are common views/goals related to oil, healthcare, and water/navy. This week, this influence will peak around Sep 7.

Astrologically, this influence relates to the transiting Neptune (religion) squaring US Descendent (marriage/partnerships). It is interesting that the Neptune transit to the US Descendent coincides with the first ever Pope’s visit to the USA. The last time this aspect was in effect was in 1851-52, which corresponded with important activities related to the LDS Church.

USA: Mar 2015 —  Apr 2016 (esp. April 2015, mid-Aug 2015, and mid-Feb 2016) — Major changes in transportation and communication industries as well as retail sales (related mostly to web-based and electronic transactions, which require data transfers). This is a very slow gradual change with the ultimate effect of dissolving old ways of doing things (e.g., commuting, communicating, shipping, traveling, and buying/selling) and coming up with new ways. This is likely to involve dissolution and mergers of transportation and communication companies, incl. companies that process payments electronically (e.g., Western Union).

Other affected areas will be aerospace, telecoms, IT industry, electric engines, electronics, gadgets, and similar industries. The changes will likely have to do with oil (e.g., oil prices affect shipping and flights), healthcare (e.g., spread of some contagious disease affects travel), water (e.g., floods, rains, etc. affect transportation; travel by water becomes much more or less popular; new cable is laid under water; etc.), navy (e.g., there are some problems with or confusion about aerospace projects, island bases, submarines, ships that carry planes over water, etc.), chemicals/pollution (e.g., shipping accidents resulting in pollution or poisoning may increase), movies/music (e.g., developments in the entertainment industry will lead to reorganization of the media companies or push these companies to implement new hi-tech approaches for signal transmission), and spirituality/religion (e.g., some people’s beliefs will not agree with new technology like robots and autopilot). Ideological battles over new technology may manifest as increased arguments over what is healthy, spiritual, and how to prevent pollution. New controls to prevent infectious diseases from spreading through travel may be invented or implemented.

Astrologically, this influence relates to the transiting Neptune (religion) squaring US Uranus (high tech, sudden change) in the 7th house of partnerships, ruler of the 3rd house of transportation/communication. The last time this aspect was in effect was in 1851-52, which corresponded with outbreaks of cholera and flu.

USA and China: On Sep 7-11 (esp. Thur-Fr), we may hear about an actual or expected increase in the money flow at financial institutions, ease of money access, increased banks’ profits, improving conditions that make things easier for the banks, etc.

———————

SEP 7, 2015 (MON): US markets closed for Labor Day.

SEP 8, 2015 (TUE): Medium influence; market may possibly go up (60-65%). Increased likelihood of positive news about aerospace, telecoms, IT industry, electric engines, electronics, gadgets, and similar industries — this may concern leaders and new approaches (e.g., a new type of gadget or electric engine functions well or is approved/promoted by leaders).

Sep 8-18: Increased focus on hope and optimism, idealism, sacrifice, starry-eyed or delusional views about economic conditions, lies and confusion — this will likely relate to healthcare, oil, and spirituality. Calls for humane attitudes, attention to healing, religion, and salvation will peak. Good time for meditation, spiritual retreats, healing and helping others to heal. The down side of this influence is that decisions taken at this time will likely be based on hopes and idealistic aspirations without any concern for practical implementation. Thus, big dreams conceived at this time may not be implemented [because they are unrealistic]. After peaking around Sep 16, the idealistic vibe will begin to dissipate and an awakening to the harsh “reality” may bring the market down. Some grand visions or calls for sacrifice will begin to lose their appeal.

USA: Sep 8-9 — there may be increased news about the stock market, investments, loans, rates, taxes, and insurance — the news will likely be perceived as stressful because it will highlight pros and cons equally rather than provide a decisive yes/no answer.

SEP 9, 2015 (WED): Medium influence; market may possibly go down (55%). The market may go up in the morning but down in the late afternoon. The main reason for the down trend may be concerns about government’s or large corporations’ indecisiveness or disagreements about pros/cons when contemplating some judgment, agreement, or partnership.

SEP 10, 2015 (TH): Medium influence; market may possibly go up (55%).

USA: Sep 10-11 — Increased likelihood of positive news about the US military, military alliances, and industries that produce weapons. Also, there may be positive news about engines or fires (e.g., something works well, is manageable, etc.).

USA: Sep 10-11 — increased news about banks and financial institutions. On the 10th, the news or expectation may be mostly positively (e.g., improved access to money and increased profitability). On the 11th, the positive expectation may lessen and the actual “real” or “sober” news may increase — the news may not be terribly stressful but not as good as expected on the 10th.

SEP 11, 2015 (FR): Medium influence; market may possibly go down (55%).

——————-

Glance ahead:

The second half of Sep promises to be more exciting — I will try to post those predictions sooner to give more heads up time. A couple of key Sep dates:

—>The positive/hopeful Jupiter/Neptune opposition culminates on Sep 16, so this may be a major market reversal (+- 1-2 days), probably from up to down. There may also be major news about oil at that time.

—>Also, Sep 18 looks significant for the US — there may be positive news about the economy and country’s future goals/vision with focus on international expansion, higher education, and immigration. Gold prices may see a big move on the 18th (esp. in the afternoon) and/or on the 21st — possibly a reversal from down to up. On the 18th-19th, transiting Mars will oppose US Moon — in the past, this often coincided with gold prices forming a MIN (which means an up move followed immediately).

The end of Oct and then Nov and Dec may see some increased turbulence compared to the first half of Sep; this is based on transits triggering planets in the charts of multiple nations at the same time. I will try to get to these sooner as well.

August 31 – September 4, 2015: Financial astrology predictions

Global: Early Sep to third week of Sep — News related to water, oil, drugs, chemicals, alcohol, deceases, spirituality/religion, and healthcare may come into focus (to peak around mid-September). The focus will likely be on abundance and excess (e.g., too much oil, flooding, going overboard with religious fanaticism, spread of diseases, spread of drugs/chemicals/water pollution, etc.). Illusions, delusions, or deceptions, can find more support than usual — investors may be swayed by some beautiful vision and overlook the details/fine print or facts. On the other hand, this is a good time for the movie industry, photography, selling alcohol, surfing boards, music, preaching, etc. — audiences will crave an escape from the “harsh reality” into the world of magic or inspiration more than usual.

USA: Sep 1-15 (esp. Sep 7) — Positive news about expansion of international relationships and country’s future goals and vision; increased optimism about the economy.

USA and China: Aug 31 – Sep 4 (esp. Mon-Tue) — Increased (and likely positive) news about banks and financial institutions. The nature of the news will probably be that some supportive actions are taken, money is available relatively easily, banks report profits, etc. These actions will likely be related to lending, loans, taxes, or insurance. These actions should be helpful to the banks and supportive of the financial industry (e.g., allowing for increased availability of cash/money). On Sep 7-11 (esp. Thur-Fr), we may see further increase in the money flow, ease of access, profits, etc. Alternatively, next week we will see the positive results of the actions taken this week.

[Curiously, significators of the 2nd house of banks/financial institutions/accumulated wealth in the US and China astro charts are conjunct — they share the same degree and are only 10min apart. This means that when planetary transits trigger bank-related events in one country, they also trigger similar events in the other country. Since other areas of the charts are different, other events add their own “flavor,” but similar bank/financial issues will come into focus at the same time.]

AUG 31, 2015 (MON): Medium influence; market may possibly go down (60%). Today may be a reversal day with the market reaching a MIN/LOW and reversing to up late afternoon or on Tue. Coverage of issues related to water, oil, drugs, and chemicals may increase — the focus may be on excess of something (e.g., of water or oil) and highlight issues that need to be addressed (e.g., some sort of a problem, deception, or lack of clarity).

China: Aug 31 – Increased news about military actions and military collaboration/conflicts/partnerships. Also, increased focus on transportation- and communication-related issues (e.g., arguments or heated discussions with partners; new phone service; investments in cars, engines, or some other transportation-related industry; etc.).

China: Aug 31 – Increased news about stock market — this may involve some change in direction/vision/goals for stock market (esp. risky trades) and/or some minor problems (e.g., computer glitches). Additionally, on Mon-Wed, the trading volume may increase and/or the market attract more interest than usual (due to bets on risky trades). The mood may be relatively optimistic early in the week.

SEP 1, 2015 (TUE): Weak-medium influence; market may possibly go up (60%).

China: Sep 1-4 (esp. Mon-Tue) — Increased news about investments in or profitability of transportation- and communication-related industries, or industries related to trade (buying/selling goods). Other manifestations can include buying/selling military supplies, signing contracts or settling some conflict with partners (esp. related to communication and transportation industries).

SEP 2, 2015 (WED): Medium influence; market may possibly go up (55-60%).

SEP 3, 2015 (TH): Medium-mixed influence; market may possibly go up (55%). There may be increased news about China this morning, which may bring the market down. On the other hand, there will probably be optimism about the expansion of the US economy, which will probably offset this down energy.

China: Sep 3-5 — Increased news about the country’s status in the world and/or its leadership. Possible radical or decisive action — a “power move” — this may relate to military objectives, military partnerships, nuclear power, sources of power in general, as well as metals (esp. gold), minerals, and mining. Accidents at mines or explosions/fires are also possible. Also, increased news about China’s partnerships and foreign holdings/investments.

SEP 4, 2015 (FR): Medium influence; market may possibly go up (55%).

August 24 – 28, 2015: Financial astrology predictions

USA: Continuing focus on leaders (esp. their international popularity, connections, and health/wellbeing), international relationships, higher education, taxes, investments, and insurance. There may news about laws and/or international developments affecting these areas (e.g., some new law affecting taxation of earnings from international ventures, changes in how financial institutions lend or invest money, or some sort of governmental regulation of how lenders operate).

EDIT (08.23.15): In addition to the global aspects and transits to the US chart, I also looked at China’s natal chart (http://www.astrologyweekly.com/countries/china.php). Some weekly predictions have been augmented or edited accordingly.

China: Long-term (from early 2014 to late 2016), Pluto is making a few stressful aspects to its chart that indicate a major transformation related to the 2nd house (banks, financial institutions, currency, accumulated wealth, self-earned money), 5th house (speculation, risk taking, gambling), and 8th house (investments, others’ money, debt, loans, taxes, insurance). Focus on issues related to houses 5 & 8 will be quite strong this week (probably even stronger than last week) and for two more weeks after this one — this may manifest as some trouble related to the stock market, debt, loans, or investments in general. Since Pluto (in Capricorn) is transiting through the 12th house in China’s chart, the source of the problems or pressure may be hidden activities of large corporate or governmental entities, pressure from secret enemies, entities attempting to isolate China, or entities that are very idealistic and simply don’t care about material issues such as earnings.

Another long-term influence for China (same dates) is a major reform of their mining, steel/iron, coal, rocks/minerals, construction, and related industries. This reform will have the same origin (e.g., some hidden activities, isolation, pressure from secret enemies, etc.), but will go relatively smoothly and will strengthen the above-listed industries as a result. This strengthening will probably occur through transforming international relationships (they will be more energized and grow in new directions), building partnerships within these industries, and improving service (to support businesses and customers) and workforce conditions.

AUG 24, 2015 (MON): Weak-medium influence; market may possibly go up (55%).

Aug 24-26: Increased likelihood of positive news about healthcare and medical breakthroughs. The up influence is stronger in the afternoon; in the early morning there may be a drop.

USA: Aug 24-26 — possibly positive news about employment, government workers (e.g., post office, teachers, police, etc.), and international partnerships.

EDIT (08.23.15): China — On Aug 24-25, there may be some news about profits of large corporate entities or government-owned organizations — the news will probably be positive (e.g., earnings have increased, the entity is valued higher than expected, change in government or corporate policies was profitable, etc.). The area may be in mining, nuclear power, stock market, casinos, and/or movie industry.

AUG 25, 2015 (TUE): Medium influence; market may possibly go up (60-65%). The mood should be fairly hopeful and optimistic today. EDIT (08.23.15): The up influence is stronger in late afternoon.

Aug 25-26: Some discussions, agreements, or contracts related to mining, coal, iron, and/or steel may receive extra attention today. These agreements may be US-related.

USA: Aug 25-26 — In addition to the discussions above, there may be increased discussions about prisons, drugs, chemicals/pollution, medications, end elderly. These issues may well be related to mining or minerals extracted through mining, and/or production of derived products. The news will likely be positive (e.g., new chemical can help fight pollution, an agreement to mine something was reached, etc.).

AUG 26, 2015 (WED): Medium influence; market may possibly go down (55%). The down prediction is mainly due to dissipating optimistic mood. The down influence is stronger in the afternoon; the early morning may still see an up move.

EDIT (08.23.15): The Pluto square China’s Mercury will be quite precise on Wed-Fr., which may increase worries about Chinese markets and spook the investors.

AUG 27, 2015 (TH): EDIT (08.23.15): Medium influence; market may possibly go down (55%). [The original prediction was “Medium influence; market may possibly go up (55%). The up influence is relatively weak.” I changed it to down given stressful transit to the China’s chart.]

Aug 27-28: There may be a public announcement or an announcement at a large public gathering about some deal/partnership/marriage. This may possibly relate to the outcome of discussions on Aug 25-26.

AUG 28, 2015 (FR): EDIT (08.23.15): Medium influence; market may possibly go down (55%). [The original prediction was “Medium influence; market may possibly go up (55%). The up influence is relatively weak, but strengthen somewhat in the afternoon.” While there are a few positive influences as well, I changed the overall direction to down given stressful transit to the China’s chart. Also, Monday Aug 31, looks like a reversal date — probably a MIN with the market going up on Tue, Sep 1st.]

USA: There may be positive news about country’s goals and vision for the future (e.g., the economy is developing as desired, the forecast is optimistic, expansion is expected, etc.) — this may relate to employment, medicine, and/or government workers (e.g., post office, teachers, police, etc.). There may also be minor positive news about US financial industry (e.g., that there are still opportunities to make profit and that money is still available).

Pluto opposition US Sun: The Dow fell almost 6% the week of August 17, 2015 – will there be a deja vu on October 30, 2015?

Pluto precisely opposed US Sun this week and the market had a case of indigestion (blamed on China somehow, but Pluto seems to be the real culprit 😉 ). The stocks “posted biggest weekly loss in nearly 4 years” commented Marketwatch.*

Astrologically, the drop coincided with an exact opposition of transiting retrograde Pluto to the US Sun. This is slow-moving Pluto’s first opposition to the US Sun’s degree in the US history. (Last time this happened in 1768-69, during a “Revolutionary era” and a time of political upheaval leading to the American Revolution https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timeline_of_the_American_Revolution).

Pluto’s pass the week of August 17, 2015 was part 2 of a three-part event (initial forward pass, retrograde, and final forward pass – this is a typical pattern for slower-moving planets). The first pass was on January 5, 2015 and coincided with DJIA dropping close to 500 pts on Jan 5-6, 2015. The next and final precise pass will occur on Fr. October 30, 2015.

Note that the biggest drops this week occurred on Aug 20-21 and not the 17th, which was the date of the precise Pluto/US Sun opposition. I believe they were triggered by a fast-moving Mercury’s square to US Mars (precise on Aug 20) and conjunction to US Neptune (Aug 21). On Oct 30 – Nov 2, 2015, Mars and Venus will both be going over the same degree that Mercury went over on Aug 20-21 triggering the same aspects. I believe this can manifest as another big drop within 2-3 days immediately preceding or immediately following the precise transit. Additionally, stressful Mars transit can bring accidents, fights, fires, protests, etc.

Since Sun symbolizes leadership, the probability of significant transformative events related to country’s leaders is increased during Pluto/Sun transits. Pluto symbolizes a drastic change, dictatorial control, violent acts, terrorism, nuclear power, etc. Stressful Pluto/Sun aspects indicate that country leaders’ health or status may undergo a major transformation (this can lead to a very good outcome and a vitality boost but is usually not easy as some old pattern has to be completely overcome/discarded first).

This reminds me of the upcoming US elections. I haven’t analyzed any of the election-related info (and am not particularly interested either), but it is noteworthy that transiting Uranus will oppose Donald Trump’s Jupiter on November 8, 2015 – this may manifest as a lucky breakthrough or an exciting, although possibly nerve-wracking, opportunity. Alternatively, he will want freedom from some perceived constriction and may make a surprise if not shocking decision related to wealth, long-distance travel, immigration, foreign connections, higher education, etc.

But back to Pluto transits: Also coming up this year is the third pass of Pluto square US Saturn (ruler of the 2nd house of banks in the US chart). This will occur on Dec 24, 2015 and may manifest as a large market move, concerns about banks or financial system, changes in financial laws, and/or some other significant developments (likely stressful and possibly related to steel, iron, and coal). The market move (probably a drop but not necessarily) and/or events may be triggered by Jupiter as early as mid-Dec when Jupiter will take its turn to join US Neptune and square US Mars. This influence may be felt most strongly on Dec 14-15, but the entire month of December looks important. (See my old post from 2013 How long will the market rally last? A few long-term observations for US economy (2013-2023)**.)

Two previous Pluto/US Saturn square passes occurred on Feb 20-21, 2015 and Jun 14-15, 2015. The DJIA dropped about 100 pts on Feb 9, 2015 when transiting Mars opposed US Neptune and squared US Mars. The second passage coincided with losses of about 100 pts on Jun 12 and Jun 15 (about 200 pts total). At the time of the second pass, transiting Mars conjuncted US Mars and squared US Neptune.

August 17 – 21, 2015: Weekly financial astrology predictions & brief notes on Sep-Dec

Globally, key areas of focus this the week will be IT industry, telecoms, electronics, digital currencies, internet media, telecoms, electricity producers, electric car manufactures, and aerospace, as well as oil and gold (relates to news from the US).

USA: The focus on leaders (esp. their international popularity or connections), international relationships, higher education, taxes, investments, and insurance will remain and should be quite strong the entire week (this influence will continue for a few months). There may news about laws and/or international developments affecting these areas (e.g., some new law affecting taxation of earnings from international ventures, changes in how financial institutions lend or invest money, or some sort of governmental regulation of how lenders operate).

USA: Another slowly-unfolding influence that will be in effect all week as well as the next several months relates to innovation, inspiration, hope, deception, or confusion in the area of international relationships, country’s goals/vision for the future, as well as the following industries: IT, electronics, digital currencies, internet media, telecoms, electricity producers, electric car manufactures, and aerospace.

We will likely hear about matters related to religion, faith/hope, healthcare, chemicals, drugs, oil, movie industry, or water/navy affecting international agreements, partnerships, and industries above. There may be misunderstandings or misplaced hopes about some international agreements, deception by partners, agreements or new ventures that are based on faith and hope as opposed to hard facts, partnerships or agreements that form because of developments in oil industry, innovations in electronics that somehow use water, developments in the electric car manufacturing related to changes in oil prices, movie or video production changes that affect telecoms or electronic equipment, etc.

AUG 17, 2015 (MON): Weak-medium influence; market may possibly go up (55%). The up influence is stronger in the afternoon.

AUG 18, 2015 (TUE): Medium-strong influence; market may possibly go up (55%). In the early morning or pre-open there may be (probably stressful or confusing) news about oil, water/navy, chemicals, drugs, or healthcare — if so, the news may bring the market down in the morning. The issue may involve military leaders not reaching an agreement on some issue related to oil and/or navy, or, it could involve risky investments in oil/healthcare/chemicals/etc. that are now somehow stuck in a limbo or cause frustration, or, it could involve fires that compromise water/oil source. This influence will remain active for a few days, so the situation (e.g., some frustrating discussions or dealing with fire) may continue to evolve through about Aug 22 (Sat).

Aug 18-20 (esp. early am on the 19th): There may be some excitement and (likely positive) news about IT, electronics, internet media, telecoms, electricity producers, electric car manufactures, and/or aerospace (e.g., increased profits, innovation, new [female] leader, female leader doing well, etc.). At the same time, there may be a feeling that some info is missing or insufficient to reach a decision or some issue needs to be clarified (so that an action can be taken). Also, there may be increased focus on forex market or digital currencies; the news will probably be positive and/or highlight the need for [radical] action as opposed to the compromise/playing nice.

AUG 19, 2015 (WED):  Medium-strong influence; market may possibly go down (55-60%).

USA: Possibly, increased news about silver and gold prices (probably a drop), as well as communication and transportation industries and retail sales (probably minor negative news or some issue is highlighted that needs resolution).

AUG 20, 2015 (TH): Medium influence; market may possibly go up (55%).

AUG 21, 2015 (FR): Medium influence; market may possibly go up (55-60%). The up influence is mostly to due to an expectation of positive news from the US.

USA: Increased news about international relationships, country’s goals/vision for the future, as well as the following industries: IT, electronics, digital currencies, internet media, telecoms, electricity producers, electric car manufactures, and aerospace. The news may relate to someone’s leadership (person or company) and that entity taking a decisive action to promote the country’s goals and enhance international ties with partners. There may also be positive news from the US about electric engines or vehicles (esp. those used for military purposes and/or aerospace).

———————-

Glance ahead: There seems to be a lot of talk of some disaster to hit in September, so I glanced at the ephemerides for the upcoming months. Very briefly,

Sep: I don’t see early- to mid-September being horrible, although the end of the month may see some problems arise. With Jupiter opposing Neptune in mid-Sep the mood may be extra hopeful and starry-eyed — there may be some misplaced hope or delusional optimism that will not hinge on any facts and the market may go up on these hopes or idealistic beliefs. This influence will also likely affect oil prices (my guess is they will temporarily go up but for the “wrong” reasons, like misplaced hope, deception, confusion, insufficient info, to overcompensate for something, etc.). Also, for those in the movie industry or photography — mid-Sep will be a fantastic time for shooting movies and photos or for releasing films. Alcohol and/or soft drink sales may be up as well; at least, there may be increased attention to their sales and effect on health.

On the weekend of Sep 19-20, there may be bad/stressful news about gold/silver, with their price dropping. From Sep 21 through early Oct, stressful news and concerns about economy may increase; these may focus on oil and mining. The chance of earthquakes or accidents involving mines, water, or oil will also increase.

Oct: Weekend of Oct 3-4 may see additional news about gold, with a possible drop. The week of Oct 5 does have a potential for increased violence, accidents, and protests. The market drop is possible as well. The week of Oct 12 looks significant as well, with a larger than usual move on Monday likely (direction tbd).

Nov-Dec: These months look not-so-amazing in terms of market/economy. The key areas of concern are US financial industry and oil (or alternatively or additionally, water, drugs, chemicals, and healthcare). US banks and any lending institutions may experience pressure from various governmental or industry regulators. Oil prices will probably dip further. At least, there will be serious concerns about the oil, its availability, and ability to be produced. The possibility of miners’ strikes, or accidents related to mines, earthquakes, water, and oil will increase.

August 10 – 14, 2015: Financial astrology predictions

Globally, key areas of focus this the week will be gold prices, someone’s leadership, oil, and healthcare. For the US, there will be strong emphasis on leaders (esp. their international popularity or connections), international relationships, higher education, taxes, investments, and insurance — there may news about laws and/or international developments affecting these areas (e.g., some new law affecting taxation of earnings from international ventures).

AUG 10, 2015 (MON): Medium influence; market may possibly go up (55%). The up prediction is mainly due to subsiding influence of a major stressful aspect (Jupiter square Saturn; both aspecting US Moon) in effect last week.

AUG 11, 2015 (TUE): Medium influence; market may possibly go down (55%). The down influence will be the strongest pre-open and at the open (possibly due to some stressful news from the US related to the topics mentioned in the week’s overview above), and also in the late afternoon.

Aug 11-13 will likely see a reversal in the market direction (probably from down to up) — the MIN/LOW will occur late on Aug 11 or on Aug 12, followed by an up move late on Aug 12 or on Aug 13.

AUG 12, 2015 (WED):  Strong influence; market may possibly go down (65%). The market may reach a bottom in the morning and go up in the late afternoon or reach a bottom in the afternoon and go up the next day. Increased concerns or stressful news about water (e.g., weather- or navy-related), oil, healthcare/pharmaceuticals, and/or chemicals. There may also be news about someone lying or hiding the truth (not disclosing all details).

Aug 12-14 (esp. 12th and 14th): Increased focus on someone’s leadership and surprising (but positive) news about this person or entity. This will likely relate to military actions and/or electricity, IT, telecoms, and airspace — like authorizing/responding to a hacking attack or an arial strike, making a decision about using electrical power in some progressive way, developing innovative weapons/military robots, showing support for these areas, etc. Alternatively, the leader (e.g., a politician or a large well-known company) will be from the IT, telecom, power/electricity, or airspace industry and the leader will report that he/she or the company is doing well.

Lastly, on Aug 12-13, there may be increased excitement or surprises about gold. The price direction will probably not reverse from the overall current trend (which is down), but the trading volume may increase (so perhaps a down move for gold due to increased selling?). At least, there may be increased discussions about gold (probably related to technology, airspace, and/or electricity).

AUG 13, 2015 (TH): Medium influence; market may possibly go up (60-65%).

AUG 14, 2015 (FR): Strong influence; market may possibly go up (55-60%). Today, there may be more excitement or news about gold (mostly pre-open and early am), but this time, the price may go up due to its perceived increased importance or value.
