March 23 – 27, 2015: Financial astrology predictions for the week and comments on transiting Neptune square USA Ascendant & Uranus

USA – general: On a longer-term scale, the country is experiencing a slowly-infolding transit from Neptune to its Ascendant and Uranus, which will last for at least a year. Thus is a period that will see significant changes to (A) foreign partnerships and country’s goals, vision, direction for growth, and (B) industries related to transportation, communication, IT, and retail sales (that is cars, newspapers, telephones, cables, internet sales, computers, electronic gadgets, software, social media, etc.).

The changes will likely be profound and focus on the improvements to allow for greater creativity, imagination, and accessibility of various goods (e.g., movies/photos/music). There is also an increased probability of deception, communication errors, and confusion. For ex., this could be the time when some IT innovation is introduced that allows watching movies, communicate, or buy products on-line and via mobile devices in a new way. At the same time, a movie or music industry entity may create major difficulties for entities that would like to distribute movies/music on-line (this, in turn, could lead to deception or confusion about who is distributing what, when, and how).

The changes will likely be driven by fluctuations in prices, availability, and need for oil, water, movies/music/photos, healthcare/pharmaceuticals; threat of [chemical] pollution [esp. of water] or being attacked via water; and changes in partnerships based on common [spiritual] beliefs/religion/values. The latter factor, as well as oil and water/navy-related issues, will likely be especially significant for foreign relationships and may affect the US as a country in terms of the goals it wants to pursue and the overall expansion direction. As in the example with the movie/music industries, there is room for both innovation and increased reliance on inspiration/higher spiritual ideals as well as for confusion and deception.

The approximate dates when this energy will be felt the strongest are:

For (A): Late Feb, 2015 through the end of Feb 2016, with key dates being March 23-27, 2015; Sep 1-11, 2015; and Jan 18-29, 2016. The last period will likely be the most significant where some conclusion in the matter is reached or some agreement is finalized.

For (B): Mid-March 2015 through mid-March 2016 with key dates being Apr 13-17, 2015; Aug 11-21, 2015; and Feb 8-19, 2016. Similarly to the above, the last period will likely be the most significant where any ongoing issues or initiatives are resolved and finalized, although Oct-Dec, 2016 may see some reverberations of these decisions.

MAR 23, 2015 (MON): Medium influence; market may possibly go down (60-65%). The down influence is the strongest in the late afternoon.

Mar 23 – 25 (early afternoon): Practical and realistic mood about what it takes to achieve long-term stability on the international arena and/or to secure success of multi-national organizations. Increased news about  long-term international collaboration with focus on how to reduce religious or world-view differences. The nature of collaboration may involve military actions, sports, and/or any new bold initiatives that require strong leadership / courage / risk taking.

USA: Increased potential for slightly negative news from the US about financial collaborations with other partners and workforce (along the lines of overconfidence about how well something is going). Additionally, there may be upsetting news stock market, loans, debt, rates, taxes, and insurance. For ex., there may be public anger about any of these domains, push for a stronger action to make something happen because some entity or entities are getting impatient, some upset related to banks/savings that undermines the value of their stocks, or some issue related to cars, engines (e.g., accident, car loans, etc.) that affects insurance or how car loans are issued, and so forth.

Also, this entire week, esp. Mon – Tue, there will likely be increased focus on relationships with international partners and country’s long-term goals, direction, and vision for the future in the light of changing oil prices and/or some confusion, deception, or pollution that involves oil, water, navy, healthcare, pharmaceuticals, chemicals, etc.

MAR 24, 2015 (TUE): Medium influence; market may possibly go down (60%). During pre-open and early morning hours, we may hear some positive news about companies or initiatives related to healthcare / pharmaceuticals, oil, water (incl. navy), movies, photography, music, fashion, and spirituality. The nature of the news will probably be that profits increased, some financial agreement went smoothly, investments / savings are up, something/someone looks more attractive than ever, etc. Great day to take or sell photos of celebrities (esp. singers), beautiful women, clothes, or nature — they will likely turn out better  or bring higher profits than usual.

MAR 25, 2015 (WED): Medium influence; market may possibly go down (55%).The down influence is the strongest in the morning and may turn to up in the afternoon.

USA: Increased potential for minor disagreements and miscommunication with partners over some contracts, esp. those related to military, cars / travel, sports, computers/IT, and communication (e.g., phones, news magazines, etc.).

MAR 26, 2015 (TH): Medium influence; market may possibly go up (65-70%).

Mar 26 -27: The mood will likely be quite happy with over-confidence about availability of money, bank stability, status of financial entities, etc. Likely, good news about profits of entities associated with farming, fashion, clothes, and banking. These news will probably make some international leader look in a more favorable light than usual.

USA: Positive news related to transportation and communication industries (e.g., car manufacturers), stock market, insurance, taxes, debt, loans, and rates. There may also be news about initiatives to improve industries involved in underground activities, directly (e.g., digging for oil, coal, etc.) and figuratively (e.g., uncovering stock market manipulations or tax evasion schemes).

Also, increased news today in the US about international relationships, navy, banks (e.g., how much cash they have, how well they are able to save and secure what they have, etc.), farming, water, oil, healthcare/pharmaceuticals, and national security.

MAR 27, 2015 (FR): Medium influence; market may possibly go up (65%).

March 16 – 20, 2015: Financial astrology predictions

MAR 16, 2015 (MON): Medium-mixed influence; market may possibly go up (55-60%). The up prediction is mainly due to the increased potential for mildly positive news from he US. On a global scale, I expect increased concerns about oil (esp. late Sun through pre-open hours on Mon) to bring the global markets down.

March 16-18: Strong focus in the news on healthcare (incl. pharmaceuticals, poisons, contamination, epidemics, vaccinations, etc.), caring for the needy and elderly, spiritual entities and leaders, movie industry and stars; as well as water and oil. Increased probability of stressful or confusing news about these areas may negatively affect the trading of related entities. Additionally, the confusion, lies, or misunderstandings in communication related to these areas may have negative effects later on — for ex., some entities may give out misleading info about the pricing of oil, safety of some drug, or navy-related contracts.

USA: Likely, good news about communication and transportation industries, retail sales, as well as the overall US expansion and the country achieving its goals on the global arena. The news about communication/transportation/retail sales may be related to water, oil, pharmaceuticals, healthcare, movie industry, and/or spiritual entities. For ex.: an agreement is reached on how to transport oil or transport something over water (via ships); car manufacturers and transportation/tourism industries announce increased profits because of [low] oil prices; sales of cruise ship tickets, cars, or phones are up; some communication device’s or communication company’s popularity is up because they offer improved experience of watching movies and/or communicating with greater community (e.g.,more international connections, better connections when traveling, etc.); healthcare laws are expanded/augmented to benefit the needy; etc.

Additionally, there may also be brief positive news about US banks, amount of savings (held by the country and/or its banks), food supply, and/or farming industry.

MAR 17, 2015 (TUE): Medium influence; market may possibly go down (60-65%). The mood may be more exuberant during pre-open hours, but the developments may not live up to the expectations. As Monday’s supportive transits to the US chart lose strength, global concerns over oil, pharmaceuticals, etc. may bring the market down today.

MAR 18, 2015 (WED): Strong influence; market may possibly go down (60-65%). The down influence is the strongest early morning through early afternoon. This may be a reversal day [probably from down to up] with reversal occurring during late afternoon or the next day. Again, abundance of news related to water (e.g., navy or weather), oil, pharmaceuticals, healthcare, movie industry, and spiritual entities.

MAR 19, 2015 (TH): Medium influence; market may possibly go up (60-65%). The focus in the news on water (e.g., navy or weather), oil, pharmaceuticals, healthcare, movie industry, and spiritual entities will remain, as will the overall global tensions among various powers. However, today we may also hear some positive news about the US financial industry, dollar value, banks’ strength, employment rates, and healthcare industry. These positive news combined with the expectation of Mar 18 being a reversal day will likely bring the market up.

MAR 20, 2015 (FR): Strong influence; market may possibly go down (60%). With the new Moon and solar eclipse today, expect greater than usual swings in the market and/or greater trading volume. The mood may be a bit more practical/sober/realistic today (though not depressed) — this will probably bring the market down, esp. in the late afternoon.

There may also be an announcement about new bold military initiatives (with a “Hooray – we can do it!” type of attitude) — if so, such initiatives may run into obstacles and receive a pushback in the next 2-3 days. The pushback or limitations will likely come from [international] governments and large corporate entities, globally, and from financing entities (US-specific).

March 9 – 13, 2015: Financial astrology predictions

MAR 9, 2015 (MON): Strong influence; market may possibly go down (60%). Focus on electronics, IT, technology sector, airspace, telecoms, electricity, transportation, incl. electric cars, and energy sector in general. Abundance of news about these areas, both positive  and stressful, pre-open and early am on Monday.

The positive news may include expansion into new [international] markets; endorsements by famous figures, esp. from Hollywood; new deals (especially related to military, energy, and airspace initiatives); etc. This may be a good time for investing into say military equipment, weapons, planes (or entities that manufacture those), etc. The negative news may involve obstacles from government or large corporations that oversee these new initiatives —  for ex., government rules against some telecom or aircraft company to curb the freedom of its actions; reduces or sets difficult-to-meet conditions on NASA funding; implements control on production, sales, or distribution of weapons/airplanes/electric cars; etc.

March 9-12: Likely, increased news about major military developments, accidents (esp. related to engine malfunction, failure of moving mechanical parts, fire, airplanes, space equipment, electric cars, nuclear power, and electric power in general), acts of violence, protests (for freedom and against perceived oppression by governments/large corporations), angry outbursts, conflicts, etc. Additionally, we may hear more than usual about bad weather (esp. drought and fires), mudslides, and earthquakes.

USA: As mentioned in the last post, during March (with this week’s peak dates being the March 9-12), US banks and other financial entities may feel significant pressure — likely due to some governmental controls and/or some sudden surprising events related to erratically changing values of currencies, new military initiatives, airspace industry, telecommunications, disruptions/sudden changes in electricity supplies, some abrupt changes in data transmission, etc. These pressures will likely be perceived as unwelcome and disruptive and push financial industry players to adjust in a way that will leave them “between a rock and a hard place.” Something along the lines of: Some unexpected new initiative affects the value of currencies, or technology, or electric supplies, or telecommunications, etc. and causes banks to re-write agreements with other banks or customers; but, at the same time, a governmental initiative/rule prevents banks from easily changing these agreements, so banks decide that it’s easier to just dissolve the agreements or hide the true nature of the agreements to avoid penalties.

Also, from afternoon of March 9 through March 10 — increased likelihood of important news about US tax system, Treasury, stock market, loans/debt [rates, amounts, etc.], insurance companies, companies that mine/extract commodities from under ground, secrets about any of the above; as well as transportation and communication industries (telecoms, producers of electric cars, electronic gadgets, etc.). The news will put a spot light on these topics and will likely be neutral — more along the lines of analysis, evaluation of what to do next, and communicating about it.

MAR 10, 2015 (TUE): Strong influence; market may possibly go down (60-65%). The mood today will probably be damper on Tue compared to Mon when there is a higher chance of positive news about electronics, energy, etc. Today, the concerns about some violence, accidents, or tightening controls (e.g., on banks) are more likely to overshadow any such positive news.

MAR 11, 2015 (WED): Strong influence; market may possibly go down (65-70%). The down prediction is mainly due to ongoing violence, protests, etc. on a global scale, as well as potential for stressful news about the US banks.

USA: From afternoon of March 11 through March 12 — increased news about minor misunderstandings with partners over contracts and agreements (esp. related to military initiatives) — partners [as well as enemies] will be less cooperative, not willing to sign agreements, less likely to see eye-to-eye, more likely to not share the same values (esp. over military-related initiatives), and/or reluctant to pay for joint expenses (again, esp. of military nature).

Additionally, we may hear about somewhat negative news related to the job market, healthcare, and/or US status in the world in general (like other countries may not share US values about something, the value of dollar is affected in a way that doesn’t benefit the country, etc.) — this is a relatively minor and short-lived influence, however, which will pass by Fr.

MAR 12, 2015 (TH): Medium-strong influence; market may possibly go down (55%). The likelihood of accidents or stressful conflicts/military events should decrease today compared to Mon-Wed. This could be a reversal day. The down influence is stronger in the morning and may turn to up by late afternoon.

MAR 13, 2015 (FR): Medium-strong influence; market may possibly go up (60%). The mood should be relatively more peaceful today. The focus of the news will probably switch to cover more entities and events related to healthcare (incl. pharmaceuticals, poisons, contamination, epidemics, vaccinations, etc.), caring for the needy and elderly, spiritual leaders; as well as water and oil. This focus will further intensify next week, with a great abundance of news around March 16-18.

Speaking of water and oil (as well as pharmaceuticals) — while the news on Fr may be relatively neutral, some concerns may rise over the weekend (esp. Sun) and negatively affect the trading of related entities during pre-open and early morning hours on Mon, March 16.

March 2 – 6, 2015: Financial astrology predictions

MAR 2, 2015 (MON): Strong influence; market may possibly go up (65-70%). Focus on electronics, IT, technology sector, airspace, telecoms, electricity, transportation, incl. electric cars, and energy sector in general. Abundance of news, likely of optimistic and upbeat nature, pre-open and early am on Monday.

March 2-3: The news may put a spot light on a prominent international leader or an entertainment industry star (it may have to do with that person giving a speech/saying something important, flying, driving electric car, or using some advanced technology for communication or transportation).

March 2-3: Focus on forex developments. There will likely be a lot of excitement, surprises, and greater than usual price fluctuations and/or volume.

USA: March 2-6 (and the entire month really) — Increased focus on international relationships, taxes, mining (and any resources that are extracted from underground, incl. oil), hidden “underground” activities (e.g., secrets revealed, spying exposed, etc.), taxes, and insurance. The news may involve some sudden decisions, surprise revelations, and unexpected fluctuations in value. Although the surprising or erratic nature of the events may be somewhat unsettling, at the moment (esp. around March 2-3), the outcome will be perceived as beneficial to the country’s wellbeing overall.

Also, during March (with this week’s peak date being the 4th), US banks and other financial entities may feel significant pressure — likely due to some governmental controls and/or some sudden surprising events related to erratically changing values of currencies, new military initiatives, airspace industry, telecommunications, disruptions/sudden changes in electricity supplies, some abrupt changes in data transmission, etc. These pressures will likely be perceived as unwelcome and disruptive and push financial industry players to adjust in a way that will leave them “between a rock and a hard place.” Something along the lines of: Some unexpected new initiative affects the value of currencies, or technology, or electric supplies, or telecommunications, etc. and causes banks to re-write agreements with other banks or customers; but, at the same time, a governmental initiative/rule prevents banks from easily changing these agreements, so banks decide that it’s easier to just dissolve the agreements or hide the true nature of the agreements to avoid penalties.

MAR 3, 2015 (TUE): Strong influence; market may possibly go up (65-70%).

MAR 4, 2015 (WED): Strong influence; market may possibly go down (55-60%). During the pre-open hours and in the early morning, the up influence is stronger, but the direction may change to down in the afternoon. Likely a direction reversal day, regardless of the direction. A new military-related initiative may be announced today, or, some military-related developments or [new] military leaders may be featured prominently in the news.

MAR 5, 2015 (TH): Medium-strong influence; market may possibly go down (60-65%). There may be concerns over what some entities will perceive as excessive governmental control over financial sector/banks. Increased potential of [probably unwelcome or somewhat upsetting] news regarding financial regulations. Additionally, the topic of financing military activities will likely receive greater attention than usual with disagreements over whether to spend money, on what, and how much.

MAR 6, 2015 (FR): Medium-strong influence; market may possibly go up (55%). The up prediction is mainly due to the relative decrease in erratic fluctuations in the forex markets and investors having digested the news about governmental regulation of banks or restrictions on money flow.

The up trend, if any, will probably be short-lived, however. Starting late afternoon on Friday, over the weekend and into March 9-12, there will likely be increased news about major military developments, accidents, acts of violence, as well as bad weather (esp. drought and fires), mudslides, and earthquakes. These may bring the market down early next week, esp. March 9-11.

February 23 – 27, 2015: Financial astrology predictions

FEB 23, 2015 (MON): Medium influence; market may possibly go down (60-65%). The down influence is stronger pre-open and in the early morning — the mood will be the gloomiest then (likely due to concerns about money shortages and/or military activities/spending). Increased probability of news about oil, water, navy, pharmaceuticals, and healthcare (e.g., various epidemics/vaccines/etc.) — these will likely be negative, such as about shortages, prices falling, restrictions imposed, etc. There will also be increased news about new military initiatives and spending on weapons.

USA: Increased focus on military spending, relationships with international partners, as well as workforce and spending on various social initiatives (welfare and other programs). The news will be slightly tense and/or invoke a somewhat angry response from some entities (these entities may feel that they are forced to spend on military activities against their will or spend more than they would like).

FEB 24, 2015 (TUE): Medium influence; market may possibly go down (60-65%). Likely another gloomy day with the mood and news similar to Monday, Feb 23.

FEB 25, 2015 (WED): Strong influence; market may possibly go down (60-65%). The down influence is stronger in the early morning. Very likely a reversal day with the market reaching a MIN and reversing from down to up later in a day or the next day. Increased and likely negative news about oil, water, navy, pharmaceuticals, and healthcare (e.g., various epidemics/vaccines/etc.) — these topics will receive even greater attention today than on Mon-Tue.

FEB 26, 2015 (TH): Weak-medium influence; market may possibly go up (55%).

USA: Increased news about the transportation and communication industries (e.g., phones, telecoms, IT, cars [esp. electric], airspace, etc.); and about relationships with international partners. The news will probably be relatively positive, such as about increased spending in these areas (e.g., purchase of airplanes or profits by airplane companies).

USA: Late Feb, 2015 through about April 2016 — Increased focus on the effect of oil prices on the transportation industry. This topic will gain even more attention in the upcoming months, esp. in mid-April, 2015; mid-August of 2015; and mid-Feb, 2016. The focus will likely be on the negative impact of oil prices or oil-related developments on oil transportation industries (e.g., railroads and tank trucking). Negative impact of water-and/or health-related developments on transportation (e.g., travel is restricted due to some epidemic, or, massive snow/rains/floods shut down roads/airports/etc.) may also receive greater attention in the news during this time.

FEB 27, 2015 (FR): Medium influence; market may possibly go up (55-60%).

USA: Increased potential of positive news about the communication and transportation industries, such as an increase in profits. Airspace industry, electric cars, electronic gadgets, and IT innovations will receive the most attention.

February 18 – 20, 2015: Financial astrology predictions

FEB 16, 2015 (MON): Holiday in the US; US markets closed.

FEB 17, 2015 (TUE): Medium influence; market may possibly go up (55-60%).
Feb 17 – morning of Feb 20: there will be increased focus in the news on issues, products, or individuals related to oil, navy, pharmaceuticals, and healthcare. There may be greater focus on profits of the related stocks/companies/products. Their value may go up slightly, but the boost will be relatively small and passing.

FEB 18, 2015 (WED): Medium influence; market may possibly go down (55%). The mood today may be slightly more somber or practical compared to Feb 17. There may be increased news about long-term investments or regulations related to communication and transportation businesses, esp. airspace. This includes [electronic] equipment and services necessary for communications or signal conduction (e.g., phones, cable, etc.)

USA: Feb 18 – 20 — increased likelihood of important events affecting banks and financial system. For ex., a governmental regulation is passed that increases control over banks, esp. when it comes to leadership (who is in charge, who can authorize what, etc.) as well as how financial institutions enter into agreements (e.g., who can be a partner, what conditions must be in place, etc.). Any such regulations or demands will likely make financial institutions and/or their leaders feel like they are oppressed or blackmailed. The source of pressure will likely be government (federal or local) and/or large corporate entities. There may also be a change in leadership, where the “old guard” is forced out violently, through manipulation/blackmail, or passes away. If the leaders leave on their own (e.g., retire), their departure will likely have a more dramatic effect on the organization than expected.

Now, this influence is unfolding very slowly and will remain active through about the end of 2016, but the probability of the events above increases during certain periods, such as between mid-Feb through mid-March, 2015. In particular, March 1-3 and 9-10 may see some surprising events or announcements that may disrupt financial system or cause some anger. March 1-3 will also see bigger than average market fluctuations, esp. in forex/currencies.

FEB 19, 2015 (TH): Weak-medium influence; market may possibly go up (55%). Compared to Feb 18, the mood may be slightly more cheerful, with increased focus on oil, pharmaceuticals, navy, and healthcare. I don’t expect there to be any super exciting or overwhelmingly positive news about these areas, however — perhaps a mild to moderate boost in profits or value.

FEB 20, 2015 (FR): Medium influence; market may possibly go up (55-60%). Unless there are some negative news about the US financial system that bring the market down, the focus of the day will be on some new beginnings related to military, sports, car engines, explosives, or fighting.

On the afternoon of Feb 20, especially around 1:40-2:00pm EST, we can expect a noteworthy event, announcement, or discussion related to military initiatives. For ex., some new military campaign (and its generous funding) may be announced; funding for air force or airspace-related activities will be especially abundant (e.g., new airplanes are ordered). Other possible topics include profits from or contracts related to weapons (esp. related to airspace and any electronic equipment and services, such as telecommunications), surgical equipment, sports, racing [cars], etc. Value of weapons or related equipment may go up.

Events/discussions related to this initial event and/or other parallel happenings related to military and airspace spending/profits will likely remain a hot topic in the news through at least March 13. On March 9-10, there may be yet another big event or announcement related to a military campaign or spending. Again, it will very likely be related to air force, airspace, and electronic equipment and services, such as telecommunications.

——————————-
Quick look ahead: On March 1, 2015, there may be some exciting announcement about phones, cable, electric cars, airspace, new computer/tablet, or any electronics associated with communication and transportation. If some item comes out or goes on sale that day, it will probably sell a lot of units.

February 9 – 13, 2015: Financial astrology predictions

FEB 9, 2015 (MON): Medium influence; market may possibly go down (55%). The down influence is stronger late afternoon and the market may go up slightly in the pre-open and early morning (EST here and throughout). The down prediction is mainly to the stressful aspect int he US chart.

 

USA: On Feb 9-10, there may be increased news about all things military (especially navy), fighting, as well as sports, racing, and competitions of various sorts. Beneficial time for the US to act assertively in relationships with its partners.

 

Also, increased possibility of good news from the entertainment sector, especially about businesses, products, or individuals related to military (esp. navy), fighting, sports, and racing. For ex., the last time, a similar aspect unfolded for the US around Feb 28 – Mar 1, 2013, a headline read, “Comcast’s Neil Smit, the Ex-Navy SEAL Poised to Rule the Cable Business.” (http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/comcast-ceo-neil-smit-navy-681288)

 

Lastly, there is an increased chance of accidents, or acts of aggression, or protests associated with the oil industry (especially issues related to water —  oil rigs, pipes in the bodies of water, etc.), farming, food supply, Hollywood or music celebrities, and/or banks’ savings (focus on how financial institutions save/secure/keep money rather than earn). The last time the US experienced a similar aspect on Feb 28 – Mar 1, 2013, there was a .8% drop in Nymex crude futures (http://www.wsj.com/articles/SB10001424127887324662404578331793738683084).

 

FEB 10, 2015 (TUE): Medium influence; market may possibly go down (60%). The down influence is stronger in the early morning and stronger for the US than globally.

 

USA: On Feb 10-12, there is an increased likelihood of positive news about various agreements with partners. These agreements will likely relate to military (esp. navy), sports, racing, etc. as well as taxes, insurance, loans, oil, mining, and any “underground” activities. Agreements may be reached relatively easily and will have a supportive influence on the US status in the world.

 

FEB 11, 2015 (WED): Medium influence; market may possibly go up (60-65%). In the afternoon, there may be news about a go-ahead decision or a reversal in an agreement about electric cars, electronic gadgets, airspace technologies, telecoms, or electricity/energy.

 

USA: Tensions of the previous few days over some military- or oil-related issues should subside and an agreement with partners may be reached today or early am on Feb 12.

 

FEB 12, 2015 (TH): Medium influence; market may possibly go up (60-65%). The up prediction is mainly due to subsiding military and/or oil-related tense news from the US.

 

FEB 13, 2015 (FR): Medium influence; market may possibly go down (60-65%). The down influence is stronger for the US than globally.

 

USA: The overall background global tensions will continue, but today the stress over military, oil, and water/navy-related events in the US should ease-off. A new theme that may emerge in the news around Feb 13 and stay prominent till about March 25, esp. Feb 13 – 15, will be domestic security (and what military protection is necessary), and well as food and bank security (how to protect land, savings, and food supply).

 

USA: Feb 13-14 — increased focus on the value/profits of businesses related to navy, oil, and pharmaceuticals. The news may be slightly negative (e.g., an obstacle may need to be overcome to realize a goal) or there may an opposition to a contract/agreement.

February 2 – 6, 2015: Financial astrology predictions + February at a glance

FEBRUARY at a glance: The entire month, esp. late Feb looks tense as Uranus and Pluto will be getting into a tighter square (exact around March 1) — this will likely manifest as increased international tensions between new/boisterous/enthusiastic/aggressive/radical entities demanding freedom/revolution and old/conservative/rigid corporate and governmental structures, which will be perceived by “protestors” and “rebels” as oppressive and dictatorial.
 

Additionally, in February Saturn (limitation/structure/rigidity/discipline) will be slowly approaching a tense square with Neptune (oil/water/pharmaceuticals/deceases/spirituality/illusion/hope) — this may manifest as increased sell offs, depressed prices, and negative news in the related industries. Additionally, there may be bad weather due to water (snow, rain, flooding, etc.); news about pollution and poisoning of or through oil, water, drugs, spills, dams breaking, etc.; outbreaks of infections deceases; and conflicts over religion and ideologies that are perceived as too idealistic/utopian. This influence will be the strongest in the last week of Feb through mid to late March and then will ease off from late-March till October of 2015.

 
FEB 2, 2015 (MON): Medium-strong influence; market may possibly go up (55%). The up influence is stronger for the US than globally  — we may see a down move during the Eastern hemisphere trading hours, especially for Asia, but an up move in the US. There should be more news than usual about oil, pharmaceuticals, healthcare, as well as water and related weather events (e.g., floods). The value of the related stocks/commodities will probably go up during the evening hours of Feb 1, EST, and will be a good time to cash in on the profits from oil, medicines, water, etc. [I see that oil prices rose close to 8% on Friday. Am guessing this was, in part, under the influence of Venus (money/profit) approaching conjunction with Neptune (oil, water, drugs) in Pisces (water sign ruled by Neptune). This conjunction is exact on Feb 1, EST. The effect of transiting planets is generally stronger as the planets approach exact aspects (which is why my daily predictions sometimes manifest a day or so early). Since on Feb 2 Venus and Neptune will be separating, the conjunction will be losing its effect — so, I expect the price of oil etc. to go down on Monday during New York trading hours.]
 
USA: Feb 1-2 — Increased probability of unexpected and likely distressing events related to taxes, insurance, investments, banks, debt, interest rates, as well as international relationships (incl. travel and immigration), higher education, and publishing. The types of events include sudden start or ending of a project/relationship, passing of an unexpected ruling, or even death of some leader. This influence peaks around Feb 1-2, but will be strongly felt 1-2 weeks before and after.
 
FEB 3, 2015 (TUE): Medium influence; market may possibly go up (65%). The down influence is stronger in the morning.
 
USA: Increased likelihood of brief positive news about banks, financial system, and the US status in the world — this may manifest as dollar strengthening, increased profits by banks, financial institution leadership being recognized/promoted/rewarded somehow, etc. Also, during pre-open and early morning hours, there may be increased news about retail sales, transportation and communication industries, including telecoms, IT, cars, and aero-space — the news may be about excess of something, like an unexpected rise in prices or volumes of items sold / produced. The overall tone of the news will probably be positive, but it may cause unexpected consequences as there will probably be a surprise (e.g., there is an unexpected gain instead of a loss and vice-versa, or, the volume exceeds expectations).
 
FEB 4, 2015 (WED): Weak-medium influence; market may possibly go up (55%). There is a slight chance of increased news and/or trading volume of anything related to oil, pharmaceuticals, water/navy, gold, and entertainment industry. This influence is the strongest during pre-open and early morning hours. For some entities, it may be a frustrating day of missed opportunities of some sort — like the deal almost went through, some positive indicator materialized/was announced but at the wrong time, etc.
On a political arena, there may be increased news about navy — such as military exercises, weapons sales, expansion of military bases, etc.
 
FEB 5, 2015 (TH): Medium influence; market may possibly go up (60-65%).
 
Feb 5-6: These may be days of excess of some sort — like excessive optimism about someone’s leadership or a leader or famous person over-promising something. Additionally, we will probably hear a lot about electronic gadgets, electric cars, traveling, telecoms, and/or aero-space technologies — again, there may be some excess associated with these areas, like profits are measurably higher/lower than expected. We may also hear about a technological innovation or finding a practical solution to fix a problem in one of these areas (e.g., an engineering solution for electric car problem). Finally, news may come out about an agreement/contract related to a travel business, such as one that sells tickets (especially via airplanes and/or for international travel).
 
FEB 6, 2015 (FR): Low-medium influence; market may possibly go up (65%). The up influence is especially strong for the US.
 
USA: Likely, a day of positive news about country’s wealth, well-being, international relationships with “friends,” and profits from taxes, insurance, and investments.
 
USA: Feb 6 – 8 — increased probability of military conflicts or disagreements with “enemies” that result in military action or posturing. The conflicts will likely be relatively mild, but the US will be less cooperative than usual and will be more likely to use force to resolve arguments. The conflicts or military operations (including any rescue operations) may involve water, navy, and/or oil. Conflicts/arguments or simply themes of military, fighting, racing, sports, etc. may also see greater focus in the entertainment industry — like there may be fighting at such events, or, these themes will dominate entertainment this weekend.

Greece in 2015 — identity transformation with transiting Uranus crossing Ascendant and Pluto squaring it

With Greek elections on Sunday, Jan 25, 2015, I looked at Greece’s natal chart [ Jul 24, 1974, 04:00am EET, Athens] (e.g., see http://astrologyking.com/wp-content/uploads/greece-horoscope.png). Curiously, on January 27, 2015 transiting Uranus (freedom, independence, rebellion, revolution, sudden start/stop, surprise, impulse, lightening strike, flash, electricity, etc.) will cross Greece’s Ascendent (identity, goals, vision, purpose, well-being/vitality, beginning of a new cycle, etc.). This indicates a surprise change in identity/goals, rebellion against the old vision, and acting on an impulse (to achieve more freedom). Indeed, news outlets already report that anti-austerity Syriza [won] election” (http://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-30975437). Uranus’s influence, corresponding to feelings of excitement and rebelliousness, will be felt the strongest till about Feb 22, 2015 (1 degree past exact conjunction, or, 1 degree orb).

 
At the same time, transiting Pluto (major transformation, life-death, rebirth, etc.) is forming a tense square aspect to Greece’s Ascendant. This aspect indicates external and internal pressure to transform Greece’s identity, goals, vision, and sense of purpose. Pluto’s idea of transformation is typically something pretty intense (first death, then re-birth, as in Phoenix rising from ashes). Pluto’s influence, corresponding to greatest pressure for and against identity transformation (am guessing this will involve relationship with European Union), will be felt the strongest till about Jan 30, 2015 (1 degree orb). Later in 2015, Pluto will once again push for transformation; the strongest pressure will be felt July 11, 2015 – December 4, 2015 (especially around August 31 and October 20).
 
It will be interesting to see how the events unfold. Back in November, 2012, I wrote “…Jan and Sep/Oct of 2015 could be the times of some important/final decisions regarding Greece’s relationship with other countries. In general, if Greece is still in the EU by May of 2013, the push for exit and associated tensions may be quite high in May, but again, it’s quite possible that the final-final 🙂 decision about whether to ‘divorce’ EU will not happen till 2015.” (https://tolstunka.com/2012/11/05/a-few-predictions-for-greece-late-2012-early-2013/).

January 26 – 30, 2015: Financial astrology predictions (also a few longer-term predictions for the US)

USA 

2015-2016: During this time, transiting Pluto (major transformation, life-death, rebirth, [nuclear] power, dictatorship, terrorism, violence, etc.) will form a tense square aspect to Saturn in the US chart, where it sits in the 10th house and rules the 2nd. The 2nd house relates to financial matters and banks, while the 10th is the house of government and large corporations (for expanded meaning of houses in mundane astrology see http://www.moonvalleyastrologer.com/the-houses-in-mundane-astrology/ for example). Thus, we can expect a major change in how banks and financial institutions operate and save their profits. On the dates when the aspect is exact (listed below) as well as 1-2 weeks before and after, expect important events or regulations that put stress on banks and affect their ability to make or keep money. Since Pluto is passing through Capricorn, the source of stress/pressure will be government and/or large corporations. Financial institutions will likely perceive the events or regulations as drastic and restrictive (e.g., banks may be required to keep tighter control of funds).

 
2015: Feb 20, June 15, and Dec 24
2016: Sep 26 
 
Jan –  Feb 2015: Increased probability of unexpected and likely distressing events related to taxes, insurance, investments, banks, debt, interest rates, as well as international relationships (incl. travel and immigration), higher education, and publishing. The types of events include sudden start or ending of a project/relationship, passing of an unexpected ruling, or even death of some leader. This influence peaks around Feb 1-2, but will be strongly felt 1-2 weeks before and after.
