June 2-3, 2014 Predictions: Financial Astrology

I will post predictions for the rest of the month in the next few days. In the meantime, here are predictions for Mon-Tue and a few June highlights. [Calculations are for NYC, times are in EST; by “market” I mean mainly DJI and entities with similar trading pattern.]

————-

JUNE, a few key dates at a glance: June 12-13 (Thur-Fr) will very likely be down days, marked by worries about money availability, restrictions/constriction (e.g., limitations imposed on banks), as well as heightened possibility of violence and accidents. June 23-25 (Mon-Tue) also have increased likelihood of unexpected/sudden disruptions, excitement, arguments, or accidents related to military activities, sports, moving mechanical parts (e.g., engine), fires, etc. Lastly, we may see MIN/bottom late June 27 (Fr) – early June 30 (Mon) – the market will probably reverse up by Mon afternoon.

For the USA, June 18-19 look very positive, especially for improving relationships with international partners, signing agreements, achieving recognition on the world arena. The positive developments and/or news about some expansion will likely relate to the areas of transportation/communication, such as phones, cars, cable, television, and/or retail sales (in general and of the communication/transportation devices in particular).

—————–

June 2 (Mon): Weak influence; market may possibly go up (55%). Up prediction is mainly due to the absence of strong negative aspects, rather than presence of supportive ones. Transits to the USA chart are also slightly more supportive of the up move.

June 3 (Tue): Weak influence; market may possibly go down (55%); down influence is the strongest in the pre-open hours and early morning.

May 13-30, 2014 Predictions: Financial Astrology. Also, a few glimpses into US economy through early 2015.

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

————-

MAY: As I mentioned in my May 1-2, 2014 predictions, the most interesting time this month will be around mid-May, around 14-19, which coincides with two potent and stressful transits to the US chart. These days will likely coincide with increased economic and political tensions within the US, highlighted by concerns about bank stability, loans/mortgages, institutional debt, and international tensions. In terms of the stock market, May 13-15 have the highest potential for a big drop. May 16 could be an up day globally, but marked by international concerns in the US – so looks more bearish for the US.

More on the transits:

(1)   Uranus (sudden upset or surprise) will oppose (tension, push-pull) US Saturn (restriction, government), ruler of the 2nd house of finances. The most recent time Uranus opposed US Saturn was around mid-1930 – early 1931 and coincided with bank runs. The transit in May is a first of a series of three transits that will repeat again around Oct 1, 2014 and then culminate/reach resolution around Mar 7, 2015.

General meaning of this transit is sudden and unexpected changes related to US banks and financial industry. This may manifest as unexpected bank closures, failures, changes in how banks are managed, changes in bank leadership, implementing new and highly original innovative payment systems, increased use of e-currencies or unexpected ban of e-currencies, problems with money transfers because of the electric or equipment multifunction (e.g., electricity problems, hacking, computer failures, etc.), unexpected changes in the value of a dollar, etc. Uranus is a planet sudden jolts, surprises, electricity, and revolutions. Whatever the events, they will likely be surprising, unexpected, abrupt, unusual, and possibly shocking.

Since this is the first one of the 3-transit series, the events of mid-May 2014 will mark the beginning of a period of increasingly intensifying events that will culminate in early March 2015. Moreover, since US Saturn is in the 10th house of government, business, large corporations, status in the world, etc., the changes in the US financial system will have a jolting and/or revolutionizing effect on its governmental structures, large corporate entities, and its status on the world arena. As with any transit, there is potential for both good and bad changes – we may either see banks coming up with some innovative ideas that will possibly involve creative use of electronic solutions, or, we may see unexpected bank failures or stressful news that will undermine their value.

(2)  Retrograde Pluto (major transformation, death-rebirth) will oppose US Sun (life energy, ego), ruler of the 9th house of international relationships.The most recent Pluto-US Sun opposition was on March 13, 2014 and coincided with concerns over the Crimea referendum outcome and China economy slowdown.The transit in May is a 2nd of a series of three transits that will culminate/reach resolution around January 4, 2015.

General meaning of this transit is a major transformation in the US international relationships because of some power-play, pressure or dictatorial behavior (either from an external entity toward the US or by the US). This may manifest through either  external or internal pressure to change its international partners, international policy, legalize or ban certain types of deals with international entities (sanctions?), etc.

Pluto does not do anything halfway, so whatever the changes, they will likely be very dramatic, cause a long-term shift in US international policy orientation and US power status, and will not be easily reversible [if at all]. Moreover, since US Sun is in the 8th house of loans/debt and hidden “underground” issues (e.g., spying, mines, underground resources, etc.), the changes in international relationships will have a profound transformative effect on this area of US economy and politics. Specific manifestations may include changes in the amount of debt the country has, how it pays off the debt, how it accumulates the debt, how it manages the loans, how it governs mining of resources that come from underground locations (metals? oil?), and how it runs various spying/surveillance programs.

Since this is the 2nd passage of this transit and Pluto is retrograde, its influence is somewhat milder compared to the first and 3rd passages when its motion is direct. The retrograde transit is likely going to coincide with the reevaluation of the situation, internal thinking about it, strategizing, or potentially reversing the old approach. Additionally, since this aspect is the strongest on May 17-18 (weekend), it may not be felt by the markets as strongly as the first passage on March 13. However, it is important to keep an eye on the unfolding situation, as the transformation will not be finalized until early January 2015. All transits have both positive and negative potential – the choice is always up to the people as to how to respond to the energy. In any case, after this matter resolves itself around early January 2015, the US will feel like it has been dramatically transformed and freed itself from some sort of danger or pressure (external or internal).

—————–

May 13 (Tue): Strong influence; market may possibly go down (60-65%).

May 13-15: A leader in the business of electronics (especially those used for military purposes) or airlines/space may be featured more prominently in the news today. Alternatively, there may be increased news about an innovation or a change in these areas. The news will likely coincide with increased trading of related stocks.

USA: In the early morning or during pre-open hours, there may be brief positive news about the US real estate market, farms, food supply, or domestic security.

May 14 (Wed): Strong influence; market may possibly go down (65-70%). The down influence is strongest in the early morning.

May 14-15: Increased probability of currency value fluctuation, especially EUR/USD.

USA: In the morning, there may be increased news about international relationships (sanctions? trade deals?) or laws passed related to national debt, loans, or mortgages. This news will likely have a brief negative effect on trading as changes may be perceived as not financially beneficial to the US. This effect will only last one day.

Additionally, for the US, on May 14-15 we may hear about some unexpected developments related to US banks, financial system, currency, etc. These will likely bring the market down, even if the events themselves are positive (e.g., banks announce a new better way to transfer funds electronically), because of the sheer unexpected nature of the developments.

May 15 (Th): Strong influence; market may possibly go down (65-70%).The down influence is strongest in the early morning. Regardless of the direction, there is a strong probability that it will change the following day or on Monday

USA: Increased news about stability of the US banks – the news will likely be positive or practical in nature (e.g., we may hear reports that evaluate the situation from a logical practical non-emotional perspective). Alternatively, there may be increased negotiations about a sale or trade deal related to banks.

May 16 (Fr): Strong mixed influence; market may possibly go up (55%). The up influence is stronger globally than for the US. The US will be feeling concerns about the pressures related to its international relationships, which may bring the market down in the US.

USA: May 15-19 – increased news about stressful international relationships, international tensions, changes in how US deals with international entities. The US may re-evaluate its international approach and either retreat or change its strategy. The news will either be stressful in nature and will bring the market down in the US, or, the change in strategy will be perceived as a positive development that will bring the market up on some optimism.

Additionally, on May 15, in the US there may be brief negative news about the US debt, mortgages, loans, etc.

May 19 (Mon): Medium-strong influence; market may possibly go down (55-60%). The mood today may be somewhat more practical than exuberant.

USA: May 19-20 – increased talk in the news about show business, Hollywood, or stock market trading/gambling – the emphasis will likely be on how something is risky or too flashy or too aggressive. Additionally, there may be increased news about US relationships with other countries involving either some conflict or talks about military intervention – if so, there may be some confusion about it, such as how to proceed. This is a short-lived influence, however, and will pass in the day or two.

May 20 (Tue): Medium influence; market may possibly go down (55-60%).

USA: There may be increased (and likely negative) news about the real estate market, home sales, mortgages, farming, ability by individuals and banks to save money, and/or domestic security.

May 21 (Wed): Weak-medium influence; market may possibly go down (55%). The down prediction is mainly due to increased potential for international tensions in the US; on a global level, the day does not look that stressful.

USA: May 21-22 – there will likely be increased news related to country’s debt, loans, mortgages, as well as international partnerships and status in the world. There may be some changes in these areas associated with finances. For example, there may be discussions about whether to or how much money to spend on sustaining certain international relationships, or, there may be disagreement over how much money to invest in something, or, how much money the US has the loan to another entity, or, how much to spend to pay its own debts. On these dates, some action may be taken that will involve spending money on one of the issues above, giving money to a partner country, or spending/loaning money to improve US status in the world.

May 22 (Th): Weak influence; market may possibly go up (55%). The up influence is strongest in the morning.

May 23 (Fr): Medium influence; market may possibly go down (55-60%). The global mood may be more practical today and there may be some mild discontent in the US about its real estate market or world leadership position.

USA: Increased possibility of news related to country’s debt, loans, and mortgages, such as giving money to a partner country or spending/loaning money to improve US status in the world. The conversation may revolve around dissatisfaction with or conflicting opinions about either the real estate market or US status in the world.

May 26 (Mon): Weak-medium influence; market may possibly go down (60%).

USA: Increased probability of slightly negative news related to banks, financial system, “hidden enemies,” and/or healthcare – for example, we may hear about unexpected expense or things not going as smoothly as expected.

May 27 (Tue): Weak-medium influence; market may possibly go down (55-60%).

May 28 (Wed): Medium-strong influence; market will probably go down (65-70%). This will likely be a reversal day, with the market reaching bottom/MIN. The down influence is the strongest in the morning – the trend will reverse in the afternoon or the next day.

USA: May 28-30 – increased negotiations with international partners, such as about a new deal, new partnership, new agreement (esp. related to weapons or sports), or beginning a joint activity (e.g., military exercises, mutual military support, or sports traning).

May 29 (Th): Weak influence; market may possibly go up (60-65%).

USA: May 29-30 – increased likelihood of [likely positive] news about or new developments related to retail sales, communication devices, electronics, phones, cars, travel, etc. This may manifest as announcement of a new device, ruling about the internet, or news about improvement in the area of retail sales or transportation, incl. airlines.

30 (Fr): Weak influence; market may possibly go up (55%). A busy news day, with focus on retail sales, communication devices, phones, cars, travel, and journalism – we may learn about some [likely positive] new development in the early morning. Also, increased communications between partners over military or sports participation. These negotiations will likely go smoothly.

May 12, 2014 Predictions: Financial Astrology

Will have to delay predictions for the rest of the month by one more day 😦 – been too busy and want to take the time to do a thorough job. Here are predictions for Monday, May 12. [Calculations are for NYC, times are in EST; by “market” I mean mainly DJI and entities with similar trading pattern.]

In general, Monday will likely be the least eventful day of this week. (At a glance, Tue-Thurs, will probably be down days; Fr – mixed, could be ok globally, but stressful for the U.S. [mostly because of some international issues].)

————-

May 12 (Mon): Week-medium influence; market may possibly go up (55-60%).

There may be increased news about military actions in the early morning and pre-open – probably that communication is proceeding smoothly or that there is no significant change in the stance between the partners. The morning favors peaceful and logical/factual communication about military actions or disagreements.

USA: During pre-open hours and in the early morning, there may be increased (and likely positive or surprising) news about all things electronic, phones, communication devices, travel, airplanes, cars, as well as retail-sales, newspapers, journalists etc. There may also be increased talks between the US and its partners (or “enemies”) – these may be linked to some sort of a surprise, there may be multiple abrupt changes, or communication may appear unstable/on-off.

May 5-9, 2014 Predictions: Financial Astrology

I will cover the rest of the month in the next post (next weekend, hopefully). Here are predictions for the upcoming week. [Calculations are for NYC, times are in EST; by “market” I mean mainly DJI and entities with similar trading pattern.]

————-

General trend: Considering upcoming stressful transits to the US chart (exact around May 14-19) that I elaborated on in the previous post, I expect a gradual intensification of tensions related to US foreign policies as well as increased likelihood of surprises or unexpected changes involving banks and financial system. This may manifest as increasing pressure on the US about passing some laws or making some changes related to its foreign policy and changes in its relationships with international partners. The US may feel under a serious threat, as if its well-being or its essence/life energy was threatened by some sort of dictatorial forces or forces demanding total transformation. At the same time, I expect that there will be increasing news about banks, their stability, and public confidence in the financial system. This week, the strongest likelihood of such news (i.e., about banks, loans, mortgages, rates, etc.) will be on Friday.

—————–

May 5 (Mon): Medium influence; market may possibly go up (55-60%). Up influence is stronger in the morning; the market may go down late p.m. (potentially because of some stressful news from the US regarding taxes, loans, investors’ mood, hidden developments, mines, or things dug up from the ground, etc.).

USA: In the early morning, the mood may be fairly positive/optimistic/hopeful – probably because of positive news or hopefulness about stability of the banks, improvement in real estate market, food supply, farming, mortgages and other domestic and/or land-related issues.

May 6 (Tue): Weak mixed influence; market may possibly go down (55%); down influence is stronger in the afternoon.

May 7 (Wed): Medium mixed influence; market may possibly go up (55%). Globally, the mood today will probably be relatively sober and there may be concerns about mines, metals, secrets, spying and other hidden “underground” activities (literally and figuratively). These concerns are the strongest in the pre-open hours and in the early morning. On the other hand, there may be positive news coming out of the US that will bring out optimism in the US investors and desire to overspend on objects of luxury, entertainment, nice clothes, objects of art, etc. We may hear about US consumers or even the country as a whole feeling optimistic and possibly overspending. Additionally, there may be increased news about some new communication devices or methods in the afternoon.

May 8 (Thur): Medium influence; market may possibly go down (60%), especially late afternoon.

USA: Today is a favorable day for the country’s leaders to make announcements about money/loans/mortgages/financial situation – the message will be perceived favorably, will be expected, will bring comfort about the availability of money, and/or feeling of ease about obtaining $. [After writing this, I see thatJanet Yellen will speak on this day. I’m not sure what exactly one would expect her to say, but astrologically, the transit occurring today, namely transiting Venus trining US North node in the 8th house of investments/debt/loans, favors lack of change and retaining the status quo.]

May 9 (Fr): Medium-strong influence; market may possibly go down (65%). Today will likely be marked by practical thinking about savings and investments, or by concerns about the loans, mortgages, insurance, or taxes. Activities related to mining, metals, spying, hidden secret activities, etc. may also feature prominently in the news. Other possible manifestations include news about a death of a leader figure, especially from the banking/financial sector, or, restrictions imposed on a leader or an entity from that sector (e.g., a major insurance company or bank).

May 1-2, 2014 Financial Astrology Predictions and a Few Highlights for the US

Am again caught up in a whirlwind of activities 🙂 , so will be writing more comprehensive May predictions in the upcoming week or so. For now, here are predictions for May 1-2 and a few highlights for the US (May 2014 and several dates in the future).

————-

MAY: In some ways, this month may be less stressful than April. At the same time, there are several tense aspects forming to the US natal chart that indicate problems with or, at the minimum, unexpected changes related to banks and financial system. The most critical dates for the US are May 14-19. These could manifest as several days during which the market direction changes sharply (probably from up to down, although the situation looks better for the global markets than for the US). On a larger scale, this period may bring events that will keep unfolding over the next 1-2 years and may trigger global economic concerns somehow related to US finances, currency, banks, financial system, accumulated wealth/value [of the US as a country], ability of the US to secure its wealth, taxes, tariffs, etc.

Specifically, around May 14-19, we will likely hear about some important changes related to stability of US banks and its financial system regulations. For ex., there may be changes in how US as a country accumulates savings, the value of the dollar, news about entities or citizens withdrawing something of value [gold?] from the US banks, unexpected rate changes, rulings regarding e-currencies, electronic transactions (e-wallets/payments?), technological innovations in the area of banking, etc.

In the past (mid-1930 – early 1931), similar stressful transits to the US chart (transiting Uranus opposing US Saturn, ruler of the 2nd house of finances) coincided with increased internal bank failures, eroding confidence in banks, and bank runs. 😀 Additionally, within about 4 days of the first of the three exact tr. Uranus/US Saturn oppositions of 1930-31, the Smoot–Hawley Tariff act was signed into law (on June 17, 1930). According to Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smoot%E2%80%93Hawley_Tariff_Act), it raised U.S. tariffs on over 20,000 imported goods to record levels. As a consequence,U.S. trading partners enacted retaliatory tariffs, which are viewed by some as responsible for reducing American exports and imports by more than half.

Whatever bank-, income-, savings-, or financial-system-related issues arise at this time, they will re-emerge again around Oct 1, 2014 and then culminate/reach resolution around Mar 7, 2015. This influence does not necessarily have to be terribly negative and may even manifest as major innovations (e.g., related to modernizing banking technologies, freeing customers to shop on the go I using their phones as wallets, etc.), but this will certainly coincide with significant changes in the US financial system and the way currencies and/or banks function.

In addition to the transiting Uranus-US Saturn opposition, there will be a transiting Pluto-US Sun opposition (strongest effect expected around May 17-18). The last one of these occurred only a few months ago on March 13, 2014, when Dow plunged over 200 points. The concerns at that time were over Ukraine and China – it is likely that similar concerns will re-emerge. Since Pluto is retrograde in May, the effect this time may be somewhat weaker and/or manifest to a lesser degree as a major external problem but more as a period of re-evaluation of the previous approach to resolving international problems. In other words, this may be a time when US will revisit its previous stance regarding international laws, international developments, international engagements, etc.

We may hear about some laws and regulations enacted (international sanctions?). These may trigger concerns about the stability of financial markets. Alternatively, these international regulations may be welcomed with enthusiasm as solutions that will help stabilize the issues (this could result in the rally). Unfortunately, more tense transits to the US chart are coming up in the next several years (e.g., November 2015 looks rather tense for the US and globally; Feb 2016 looks like the time of dramatic changes in the US government; etc.). Thus, any international regulations implemented at this time will likely not be the end-all solution but will instead be the beginning of long-term economic changes.

—————–

May 1 (Thur): Medium influence; market may possibly go up (60%).

May 2 (Fr): Medium influence; market may possibly go down (60-65%). The down influence intensifies toward the end of the day, probably due to some depressing or serious news (likely related to banks, financial systems, taxes, mines, spying, underground activities, or even a death of a leader). Today, practical thinking and concerns about long-term savings will likely prevail, which often coincides with the market going down.

April, 2014 Predictions: Financial Astrology

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

————-

APRIL: Month of major changes and new beginnings, with [potentially explosive] tension from the unfolding Grand Cross between Jupiter, Uranus, Pluto and Mars. To avoid repeating what many others have already said about the Grand Cross, I included a few links below for more info on this formation and how it may affect the United States and the world economy and politics. It is noteworthy that the cross will be affecting strongly the charts of both the USA and Russia.

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

The tensions may lead to unexpected military actions, especially in mid-April and in the third week of April. There is also increased likelihood of accidents, earthquakes, and bad weather (esp. drought and fires).

The week of Apr 21 will likely be very tense, globally and in the US. There is a strong chance of major international upheavals, including changes of leadership, new laws being passed [that some may perceive to be infringement of their rights to freedom, such as gun control laws], tensions resulting in military violence, etc. Additionally, there is an increased chance of turbulent weather, accidents (including nuclear), earthquakes, and other major cataclysms. Many of these changes may be abrupt and unexpected resulting in sudden swings in the market. Thus, there is a greater than usual opportunity to both make large sums of money quickly as well as risk of losing huge sums in the market. In particular, the following areas may be more in the news than usual and experience especially high price volatility:

  • Banks, savings, mortgages, real estate, food (crops—probably shortage due to drought/wars/fires)
  • Nuclear power, electric power, oil (there may be an abundance of oil or power in general, such as through unexpected discovery of new sources, spills, or some other sudden and potentially uncontrolled release)
  • Weapons (including metals needed to make weapons), innovative technology (including devices used for surgery), electronics, airlines, space exploration

In sum, many people will be feeling on the edge pretty much the entire month, with some being pushed over the edge in the second half by what they may perceive as too much stress, unwelcome sudden changes and overwhelming tensions. Individuals and entities with sensitive horoscope points around the 13th degree of cardinal signs (Aries, Cancer, Libra, and Capricorn) will feel the effect of this energy the most. For ex., those born around April 4, July 4, September 4, and January 4, give or take a couple of days, will likely experience profound transformation in their lives .

USA: Pluto will be opposing US Sun the entire month. Uranus will be squaring it. This will be a time of great transformation for the country, in particular with respect to international relationships and issues related to taxes, loans, underground activities, surveillance, nuclear power, etc. Some of these events may come up unexpectedly and surprise/shock the public.

Additionally, Pluto and Uranus are approaching a square and opposition, respectively, to US Saturn, which rules financial system/banks in the US chart. Again, expect major and unexpected developments. For example, some banks may unexpectedly declare problems (this probability increases in mid-May), new rules or policy may be issued or action taken that will dramatically affect banks and financial system. This will likely have to do with how banks earn money or how they handle inflow of money.

Some of the most critical dates for the US are Apr 16-18.These dates may bring sudden and jolting surprises related to international policy or taxes, insurance, loans, and/or any hidden/underground/secretive activities, including surveillance programs, mining, and nuclear power. The issue that arises at this time will resurface around Nov 8, 2014 and then culminate/reach resolution around Feb 1, 2015.

—————–

Apr 1 (Tue): Medium-strong influence; market may possibly go down (55%). Probably a volatile trading day. There may be lots of excitement over some new beginnings, new leaders (e.g., military), or inventions (e.g., in the area of electronics or electric power), unexpected/sudden actions (incl. military activities or actions related to regulation of banks/savings). There may be unexpected actions intended to energize some new processes, introduce new leaders, or foster expansion of banks/savings/domestic security/real estate/food/farming/etc. If the excitement energy prevails over the fear of [sudden] change, the market may go up instead.

Apr 1-2: Favorable for passing laws regulating taxes, loans, hidden activities (e.g., surveillance programs, underground activities, etc.). Alternatively, we may hear more about governmental regulation of communications, transportation, and/or education.

Apr 2 (Wed): Strong influence; market will probably go down (65-70%). The day when the excitement might have passed and reality sets in. The down influence is stronger in the afternoon.

Apr 2-3: Increased chance of accidents, violent outbursts, and protests (e.g., against perceived governmental oppression, nuclear power, governmental surveillance, secret activities, etc.).

USA: Apr 2-3: Increased likelihood of news or discussions about domestic security, banks/savings, real estate, farms, food supply, and domestic policies that are somehow related to international relationships (e.g., passing international relationship policy to improve domestic stability or security). The new policies may put domestic benefits/interests and international relationships at cross purposes. Additionally, there may be increased news about water, such as over-abundance or lack of it, and/or news about pharmaceuticals/healthcare. Also, we may hear about minor tensions in international relationships or minor negative news related to tax laws/insurance.

Also, on April 2-3 in the US, there may be increased news about some domestic policies, probably related to real estate, farming, food supply, banks/savings, etc. The news will probably be somewhat unsatisfactory with a general feeling that some information is not being disclosed or is withheld. There may be confusion and/or feeling that something needs to be sacrificed (e.g., sharing of resources to provide for the needy).

Apr 3 (Th): Strong influence; market will probably go down (65-70%). The down influence is stronger for the US than globally.

Despite the expected overall down trend, there may be some excitement in the air and opportunities for making huge gains in the volatile market. This will be true the entire month, in fact, but caution is advised, as the situation may be changing in a blink of an eye.

USA: April 3-4—Strong chance on international tensions & decisive actions, including engaging in military activities, passing policies that establish new leaders, or implementing a new approach to dealing with international partners/enemies. Additionally, regulation of financial system and banks will likely be in focus and a source of major tension and anxiety.

Apr 4 (Fr): Medium influence; market may possibly go down (65%). The down influence is stronger in the early morning.

Apr 7 (Mon): Strong influence; market will probably go down (65-70%).

Apr 7-8, and possibly 9: Increased possibility of military tensions, accidents, arsons, fires, explosions, protests, etc. In the best case scenario, we will just see increase in negotiations between major international partners and/or “enemies.” Some [military/new/aggressive] leaders may be insisting on prompt and immediate action, while other parties may respond aggressively to this warmongering or aggressive threats, justifying their actions as a need to defend themselves.

Apr 8 (Tue): Strong influence; market may possibly go down (55-60%). The mood may improve slightly compared to April 7. In the early morning, there may be an opportunity for diplomatic negotiations among leaders regarding military/aggressive actions. The down influence is stronger globally than for the US.

USA: There may be improved mood and positive news regarding international relationships, jobs and/or about some improvements in the society. For ex., we may hear that certain social groups are receiving increased benefits or unions are succeeding in some negotiations. Although there may be some positive news for the US economy, I still think that there will be too much global tension and it will bring the market down.

Apr 9 (Wed): Strong-,ixed influence; market may possibly go up (55%). There is a slightly higher chance that the market will go up than down today. It’s not that there is a major improvement in the economy or lessening of global tensions, but rather the tensions of the two prior days may subside slightly. Therefore, some investors may feel optimistic enough to go back in and buy at what they may perceive as a low/bottom.

Alternatively, the market will go down a little bit more and possibly reverse the following day.

Apr 10 (Th): Strong influence; market may possibly go up (55%). Potentially, a reversal day, from down to up. The MIN may be reached in the afternoon, after which the market may reverse and go up. The overall global mood will likely remain quite anxious and there may be confusion about money and financial stability. The up prediction is mainly due to potential for positive news or some [possibly irrational] optimism from the US.

Additionally, Apr 10-11 will probably be good days for pharmaceuticals, healthcare, and drinks or water-related products. These areas may report positive developments, increased value/profit, or quantity/volume.

USA: Happy illusion & increased optimism likely. Increased potential for positive news related to international relationships, such as expansion of influence in some area or increased negotiations. The news will probably be optimistic and/or may involve a call to embrace national identity and to expand international influence. The mood in the US about money, international relationships, and/or financial profits may be relatively more optimistic today. Although this optimism maybe short-lived (+/- 1-2 days) and be based more on hope/illusion than reality.

Apr 11 (Fr): Strong influence; market may possibly go down (55-60%). The optimism about money may subside today and be replaced by anxiety once again.

USA: Should be a relatively opportune day for diplomatic negotiations with international partners.

Apr 14 (Mon): Strong influence; market will probably go down (65-70%). The mood this morning may be very angry, with many people experiencing distress, anxiety, and being overly emotional. The probability of some leaders initiating a sudden attack and/or defensive maneuvers is very high.

USA: The mood in the country may be that it is under pressure or even under attack from some external forces and that it needs to expand its personal influence to overcome this pressure. This may result in sudden, potentially military, aggressive actions.

Additionally, there may be some sort of a tension between banks and governmental forces that are attempting to regulate banks/financial system. It may manifest as some sort of pushback by the banks or by entities who have their savings in the banks against what they may perceive as too much pressure from the government. These entities may be angry at the government for somehow preventing banks from expanding or inhibiting the ability of the said entities to save money. Related issues, incl. mortgages and real estate, may also be in focus.

Apr 15 (Tue): Strong influence; market may possibly go down (60-65%); the down influence is stronger in the morning and the mood may improve by the afternoon. There may be an announcement in the news about the opposition or standoff between important leaders or parties representing opposite interests. Alternatively, there could be an opposition between the people and leaders, were the people will likely be asking for diplomatic resolution/negotiations, whereas the leadership may favor aggressive/rash actions. The arguments may get quite aggressive, but they will probably remain confined to verbal/written exchanges and this time.

USA: Today, the news will likely focus on the situation with financial sector, banks and/or incoming source of money for the country as a whole (e.g., earnings through manufacturing goods). The news may be disappointing or inconsistent with expectations. Additionally, there is an increased probability of arguments over financial system and its regulation.

Apr 16 (Wed): Strong influence; market may possibly go up (55%). The up influence is stronger for the US than globally. While global tensions will persist, today may be a relatively optimistic day – possibly because of a temporary sense of relief that a recent verbal argument had not resulted in violence [at least not yet]. Additionally, there may be optimism about domestic policies (e.g., that the banks or real estate market continue to improve, or, that some needy group is receiving financial support that needs). The day also favors entities or issues related to pharmaceuticals, healthcare, providing for the poor, real estate, and bank savings.

Apr 16-18: There may be some important announcement by a country or political leader regarding some new program, actions (including military actions), new initiative, or new leadership. The situation may have something to do with the change in direction from the previous orientation, be based on the past goals that are now changing, bring back a leader from the past, etc.

USA: Apr 16-18 – Although the potential for surprises is strong the whole month, these are the peak days that may bring sudden and jolting surprises related to the United States international policy and/or laws governing taxes, insurance, loans/mortgages, as well as any hidden/underground issues, including surveillance, spying, terrorism, nuclear power, etc. The events will probably be unexpected, occur very fast, and be radical in nature or undertaken by radical/eccentric individuals.

If there is an announcement made by a US leader, it may be related to healthcare/taking care of the needy, dealing with unseen/hidden enemies, and/or regulating banks. The announcement may be somewhat upsetting or involve taking a decisive action.

There may also be positive exciting news on these same dates, Apr 16-18, about banks, real estate, farms, food supply, domestic security, savings, etc. in the United States. For example, that this area continues to expand or that some recent innovation or unexpected recent change has allowed for much greater advancement than has previously been anticipated.

Apr 17 (Th): Strong influence; market may possibly go up (55-60%). The up influence is stronger for the US than globally and the up prediction for today is based mainly on the positive aspects to the US chart. Globally, the tensions between forces trying to impose governmental regulation and forces trying to break away free from the regulation, potentially through some rebellion/revolution, will continue to intensify. These rising tensions may well result in open militarized conflict the following week

Apr 18 (Fr): Strong influence; market may possibly go up (55%). The up influence is stronger for the US than globally. The up influence is stronger in the morning; the direction may turn down in the afternoon and/or on Monday.

Apr 21 (Mon): Strong influence; market may possibly go down (60-65%).

Apr 21-24 will likely be very tense days globally as well as the US. There is a strong chance of major international upheavals, including changes of leadership, new laws being passed, tensions resulting in military violence, etc. Additionally, there is an increased probability of turbulent weather, fires, accidents (including nuclear), earthquakes, and other such cataclysms. These changes will either be unexpected or perceived as extreme.

USA: Apr 21—there may be some brief unpleasant or negative news about the state of the financial system, about some hidden/underground developments (e.g., dealing with hidden enemies, spying, cover-ups, etc.), and/or healthcare/pharmaceuticals.

Apr 21-22—likely, intensification of some conflict over regulation of financial system/banks. Individuals or entities may feel angry at the banks and/or how banks are regulated. These entities may feel powerless to exert influence over bank regulations or change what the banks are doing. Alternatively there will be demand for action related to bank regulation (e.g., to ensure stability or to remove outdated restrictions). Yet another issue of contention may be the ways that United States earns income as a country (e.g., through manufacturing goods and exporting them to other countries)—there may be anger and push for [radical] changes in that area.

Apr 21-25 (esp. 23) – tense week for the US and its leadership. There may be strong push for passing laws to regulate foreign relationships, higher education, taxes, insurance, loans/mortgages, Secret Service/surveillance programs, nuclear power, and/or deal with some hidden secret threats. Either the US as a country or its leadership may feel under strong pressure or even under attack. This pressure may come from both the external entities, such as other countries, as well as from within the country. The pressure may have to do with protecting domestic security, ensuring financial stability, while dealing with domestic demands for changes/removal of old structures in favor of more freedom for individuals, helping banks and individuals to save money and be able to buy a house, and implementing new/innovative approaches.

Apr 22 (Tue): Strong influence; market may possibly go down (65%). The tensions continue to be strong, globally and within the US. In the early morning, there may be an announcement by or news about a leader – this may be related to a change in leadership, military actions, or some new initiative (including in the area of communication/transportation).

Apr 23 (Wed): Strong influence; market may possibly go down (65%). The tensions continue to be strong, globally and within the US, and may escalate to violent protests, military assaults, etc. At the very minimum, many individuals worldwide will likely be feeling on edge and frustrated.

Apr 24 (Th): Strong influence; market may possibly go down (65%). The tensions continue to be strong, globally and within the US, and may escalate to violent protests, military assaults, etc. At the same time, a more sober/conservative mood may prevail in the markets, with practical considerations in the front seat.

USA: Today, some individuals or entities may still feel that it is a good time to take financial risks and may try gambling by buying at what they may perceive as a bargain.

Apr 25 (Fr): Strong influence; market may possibly go up (55%). The up influence is mainly due to slight potential for increased optimism and hopefulness about some domestic policies and/or banks and their savings in the US.

USA: There may be increased news about banks/domestic security, real estate, farms, food supply, as well as healthcare/pharmaceuticals, water, drinks, or deception of some sort. Today the mood may be briefly hopeful and optimistic (e.g., there may an expectation of positive news related to mortgages/real estate to come out on Monday).

Apr 28 (Mon): Strong influence; market may possibly go up (55-60%).

Apr 28-29 should be relatively more peaceful days, favorable for negotiating between forces trying to impose strict governmental control and forces demanding freedom and protection for the masses. The risk of violent outbursts remains high; however, it may be relatively low compared to the previous week.

USA: On Apr 28, there is an increased chance of positive news related to mortgages/real estate, jobs, banks/savings, food supply, and/or domestic security.

Apr 28-29— there is an increased probability of a law passed or a change and neck Related to financial system/banks in the United States. The change will probably be beneficial and aimed at improvement and extension of this area. For example, some restriction may be lifted. At the minimum, banks and financial system should feature prominently in the news with many being concerned about how to improve it.

Apr 29 (Tue): Strong influence; market may possibly go up (55-60%).

Apr 30 (Wed): Medium-strong influence; market may possibly go down (55%). The tensions continue to be strong, globally and within the US, but the probability of violent escalations is lower today compared to the prior week.

————-

Looking ahead, tensions will continue building up within the US related to its banks and financial system. This energy will likely erupt in an ugly way around mid-May resulting in some unexpected changes. The situation will probably involve sudden/unexpected bank regulations, bank collapses, concerns about money [disappearing], and/or, at best, banks coming up with some new/innovative programs, which may be too shocking/drastic to be favorably received. The issues may also be related to some electronic technology/methods (e.g., e-currencies, e-systems that process financial data, etc.).

Even further, early Jan and early Feb 2015 shape up to be tough times for the market, when we may experience major drops similar to the one on March 13, 2014 and the drop I expect to occur around April 16-18.

March, 2014 Predictions: Financial Astrology

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

————-

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

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

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

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

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

The laws may involve taxes, loans, or be enacted in order to help eliminate hidden costs; alternatively, the costs may be hidden, so that the law could pass. Additionally, there could be increased news related to water – for example, that some structure is strengthened, removed, or excavated, so that the water can flow easily and without obstruction.

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

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

On Mar 17-18, in the US there may be a public announcement about some social group(s) or a leader. The news may also be related to the financial system, taxes, and/or loans. It will probably involve some sort of a change or new leadership – the change or the new leader will not be popular or will be controversial/go against an established trend.

This may involve domestic disturbances, accidents (incl. at nuclear sites), banks experiencing problems (esp. related to mortgages), disruption of food supply, etc.

USA: Likely, minor international tensions involving miscommunication (e.g., international communication goes wrong or is suddenly cut off), or just increased negotiations. There is also a greater than average likelihood of disruptions, accidents, or surprises related to telephone companies, transportation (including airlines), or retail sales.

Mar 25 (Tue): Weak-medium influence; market may possibly go up (55%).

February, 2014 Predictions: Financial Astrology

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

————-

FEBRUARY: The first week of the month looks relatively more stressful, with the market going down to reach a LOW around Feb 7-10.

Governmental regulation of financial transactions/entities/policies will continue to be a strong theme in the news the entire month, with some back-and-forth discussions about how to regulate the financial sector, how to come up with a new approach to regulation, what new leaders should do, etc. The regulation will most likely involve savings, such as savings of the banks or individual investors. Other areas of regulation or action may include real estate, land, farming, food supply, and domestic security. We may see some unexpected moves by the leaders, change in leadership, or some innovative/unexpected solutions. The possibility of some surprise related to new leadership and banks/savings/domestic security is especially strong at the end of February.

—————–

Feb 3 (Mon): Medium-strong influence; market may possibly go down (65%). There may be jitters/anxiety in the pre-open hours or in the early morning.

Feb 3-7: Will probably be a down week overall, with the mood getting progressively worse toward the end of the week. Also, there may be increased news regarding water, healthcare, medicines, poisons, and/or deceptive or vague practices of some sort. For example, some information that comes out may be unclear, lacking in detail, or, the details may be intentionally obscured (e.g., to deceive the audience or hide something). On the other hand, this will be a good week for the entertainment industry, especially for movies and photography (e.g., favorable for movie analysis, creative writing projects [especially fantasy and sci-fi], analysis of photographs, etc.) as well as for data visualization projects.

USA: Feb 3 is a good day for regulating financial sector; although while today’s energy is favorable for taking a pragmatic/realistic approach to finances, it may not be the most exciting news for the market.

Additionally, on Feb 3-4, there may be some conflict or disagreement with international partners over the US international policy, how US is perceived, and/or how it regulates taxes, banking rates, loans, etc.

Feb 4 (Tue): Medium-strong influence; market may possibly go down (65%). There may be mild arguments today between various entities over some new approach or new leadership. These entities may be opposing each other or demanding freedom; today may not be a good day for achieving a compromise.

USA: On Feb 4-5, there is a possibility of minor good news regarding workforce, social improvements, and/or large groups of people (e.g., labor unions).

Feb 5 (Wed): Medium-strong influence; market may possibly go down (65%).

Feb 6 (Th): Medium-strong influence; market will probably go down (65-70%).

USA: On Feb 6-7, there may be increased anxiety over governmental regulations of the financial sector and/or concerns about the lack of money, reduced ability to buy objects of luxury, having to be frugal, etc.

Feb 7 (Fr): Strong influence; market will probably go down (70-75%). The mood today will probably get gloomier as the day progresses. There may be tension building between forces representing the old or conservative approach to regulating taxes, loans, rates, etc. and forces desiring to get rid of those rules/constraints – this discussion may culminate in some decision on Monday.

Additionally, there may be some discussions about a deception, hidden information, and/or the need for additional analyses. This may result in some sort of a reversal, where the decision is made to go back and re-evaluate the information (this re-evaluation will continue all month). The situation will probably be related to healthcare, drugs, contamination, or some other situation, where things are unclear or a deception is uncovered – the situation may require achieving greater clarity before things can proceed forward.

Feb 7-10 will probably be a MIN/LOW.

Feb 10 (Mon): Medium-strong influence; market may possibly go down (65%). Today, a resolution may possibly be reached for the conflict between the forces in favor of the old approach to regulating lending/finances/etc. and forces favoring the removal of such rules/restrictions.

Feb 11 (Tue): Weak-medium influence; market may possibly go up (55%); the up influence is the strongest in the late afternoon. The mood may improve toward the end of the day.

Feb 12 (Wed): Weak influence; market may possibly go up (55%).

On Feb 11-14, the focus may shift from overturning the old rules regarding the regulation of taxes, lending practices, etc. to the discussion of new regulatory approaches that would be more innovative/revolutionary and somehow involve large social groups. This new focus of discussion will likely be productive and foster more cooperation and help achieve compromise/reduce conflict.

Feb 13 (Th): Weak influence; market may possibly go up (55%).

Feb 14 (Fr): Weak influence; market may possibly go up (55%). There is a possibility of slight tensions during pre-open and early morning hours (e.g., over taxes, lending rates, and governmental regulation of these and related issues); however, the market will probably go up overall.

USA: The news today will probably highlight loans, taxes, mortgages, as well as mines, spying, hidden issues, oil, etc. There may be some action taken in those areas, or, at least they will receive greater attention than usual (e.g., there may be a discussion about an upcoming action or regulation, which may take place around Feb 17-19).

Feb 17 (Mon): Weak-medium influence; market may possibly go down (55-60%); the down influence is the strongest in the afternoon.

The week of Feb 17, the tension will begin to increase around new leadership or new/unexpected actions or events related to financial sector, banks, savings and/or real estate, mortgages, land, farms, food supply, domestic security, etc. – some sudden changes or even accidents and military interventions are possible, especially around Feb 21-25.

Additionally, on Feb 17-18, there may be increased tensions, discussions, arguments or news about governmental regulation of taxes, loans, mines, spying, oil, and any sort of hidden “underground” issues. For example, some group may voice disagreement over how government controls these matters and demand more freedom.

USA: On Feb 17-19, there may be positive developments or favorable time for regulating taxes, bank rates, loan practices, mines, oil industry, agencies that do any sort of spying or surveillance, etc. At this time, only preliminary steps may be charted, to be followed up on around March 9-11 and again, around July 18-20.

Feb 18 (Tue): Medium influence; market may possibly go down (60%); the down influence is the strongest in the early morning.

Feb 19 (Wed): Weak-medium influence; market may possibly go down (55%).

USA: Feb 19-20 are good days for the entertainment industry, with an increased possibility of news related to gambling and risky investments (e.g., casinos, bitcoin, etc.). The news will probably be good, or alternatively, public sentiment towards these areas will be positive.

Feb 20 (Th): Medium-strong influence; market may possibly go down (60-65%); the down influence is the strongest in the afternoon.

USA: On Feb 20-21, there may be positive news regarding workforce, social improvements and/or healthcare; at least, this is a good time for making improvements in these areas.

Feb 21 (Fr): Strong influence; market may possibly go down (65%). The mood today may be a bit anxious/gloomy; the focus of the news will probably be on matters related to healthcare, drugs, poisons, water, contamination, elderly care, etc.

On Feb 21-25, there may be a peak of some tensions, resolution of some conflict, or action taken related to banks, savings, real estate, mortgages, land, farms, food supply, domestic security, etc. The proposed or implemented action may be surprising and/or radical (or maybe even military); the situation may involve an abrupt ending or beginning [of some program].

USA: On Feb 21, there may be some good news related to healthcare and/or any domestic affairs, including real estate, food supply, domestic security, farms, etc. (e.g., that exports of some domestic products, including those produced by the farms, have increased). These positive news, however, will probably not be enough to override the global negative down influence.

Feb 24 (Mon): Medium influence; market may possibly go up (55-60%). The up move is especially likely if there is a strong down move on the 21st.

USA: Likely, brief positive news about the improved relationships with international partners and/or improved outlook on the future of the country. The overall mood will probably be positive, with the feeling that the economy and, consequently, the US influence is improving/expanding.

Feb 25 (Tue): Medium influence; market may possibly go up (55%), especially in the afternoon.

USA: Increased potential for brief news about international relationships and US status in the world (e.g., increased communications with international partners, some sort of negotiations or discussions of taxes/bank rates/loans, etc.). If there are ongoing back-and-forth negotiations, today may be when the agreement is reached.

Feb 26 (Wed): Medium influence; market may possibly go up (55%).

USA: On Feb 26, there is an increased possibility of brief negative or stressful news about a conflict/disagreement with international partners. The situation may be related to travel (including airlines), communications, internet, mobile carriers, etc.

At the same time, February 26-27, are good days for the US status in the world, with increased potential for news highlighting US achievements (economic or political). Relationships with international partners will probably be more harmonious; this time favors taking a diplomatic approach to resolving international disagreements. There will probably be more upbeat mood about the financial situation of the country as well.

Feb 27 (Th): Weak-mixed influence; market may possibly go up (55%). Likely, a busy news day, with the same news focusing on group collaboration and/or innovation (e.g., in the area of IT, electronics, airlines, telecoms, or space exploration).

Feb 28 (Fr): Medium-mixed influence; market may possibly go up (55%). This will probably be a good day for healthcare- and pharmaceuticals-related domains. Additionally, there may be some excitement or tension around whether to introduce some changes to financial management (e.g., governmental or corporate regulation of banks/savings, budgeting/planning, etc.). There may be disagreements over what constitutes responsible financial management – the conflict may be between parties who prefer more structured approach and parties who demand more freedom and innovation.

January 21-31, 2014 Predictions: Financial Astrology

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

————-

JANUARY [last two weeks]: Overall, things look pretty cheery, with a lot of optimism about the US economy, especially around Jan 21-22. The end of the month will likely be marked by some sort of tension or build up to the resolution of the issue related to governmental or corporate control/regulation of the expansion of the banks, how banks lend the money for home mortgages, and/or how banks or citizens save/accumulate money. This buildup will likely continue to rise through the end of the month.

The mood will likely be optimistic and there may be a sense of expansion of financial stability and/or opportunities for major expansion through investment, buying real estate, etc. People may feel like looking for ever bigger and greater investment opportunities, which may indeed result in good profits in the long run, although it may be better to postpone such decisions until February, when Venus turns direct.

USA: In addition to the overall optimism about the economy, the end of January also looks favorable for regulating or implementing restrictions on businesses/activities related to anything domestic, such as home mortgages, banks’ or citizens’ savings, real estate, homeland security, farming, food supply, etc. This energy is especially strong on Jan 27-28.

As a curious side note, children born at the end of this month or in early February, will likely do exceptionally well in life in terms of accumulating money, especially through some sort of large-scale business ventures, investing in real estate, and/or accumulating or inheriting large savings.

—————–

Jan 21 (Tue): Strong influence; market will probably go up (70-75%). There will probably be a lot of positive news and optimism about how well the US economy is doing, which may boost the markets worldwide. The market may peak on Jan 21 or 22.

Jan 22 (Wed): Strong influence; market may possibly go up (70%); this influence is especially strong pre-open and in the early morning. The market will likely continue going up, but there is also a chance that it will start going down after the peak on the 21st; this possibility will increase towards the end of the day. In the early morning, there may be brief news or focus on the issues related to regulating banks and/or mortgages – the conversation may center on weighing pros and cons or comparing opposite views to determine how to proceed with the regulation.

In general, this is a good day for engaging in any sort of negotiations, especially those involving conflict resolution and achieving some sort of balance/compromise, so that both parties feel satisfied.

USA: On Jan 22-23, there may be news about regulations of financial sector and/or banks; alternatively, the news may be about profits of the banks.

Jan 23 (Th): Medium mixed influence; market may possibly go down (60-65%). Since the market will likely peak on the 21st (or possibly 22nd), the direction may reverse today.

Jan 23-24: Increased possibility that some discussions will reach a culmination, where a decision is made about governmental or corporate control over taxes, loans, or any sort of hidden matters, such as secret activities, mining, etc. Alternatively, the discussions/negotiations may reach a stalemate, become serious, or get delayed.

Jan 24 (Fr): Medium-strong mixed influence; market may possibly go down (55%). The down influence is not particularly strong, as the overall optimism about the economy will probably continue; however, the mood today (and/or on the 23rd) may be slightly more somber, because of some serious discussions about taxes and/or loans.

USA: Good time for industries and businesses related to entertainment, leisure, games, gambling, etc. There may be an overall mood that the economy is doing well and so this is a good time to relax, take it easy, gamble, or splurge on entertainment.

Jan 27 (Mon): Medium-strong influence; market may possibly go up (65%).

USA: On Jan 27-28, there may be brief news about taxes, loans, investments, and/or secrets, hidden issues, mines, etc. This may be related to governmental regulation of these matters, or, it may be in connection with IT industry, travel industry (including airlines), telecommunications, etc. For example, there may be an announcement about governmental regulation of taxes or surveillance methods, which will be perceived as beneficial for the communications industry, or, an announcement about some IT company or an airline securing a line of credit or paying off debts, etc.

Jan 28 (Tue): Strong influence; market may possibly go up (70%). The focus of the news, especially early a.m. to noon, will probably, again, be governmental or corporate regulation of banks, savings, mortgages, farms, land, food supply, etc. If some ruling is expected to pass, today may well be the day when it is finalized.

Jan 29 (Wed): Medium-strong influence; market may possibly go down (55%); the down influence is not very strong, however. There may be some brief tensions, especially early a.m. or pre-open, related to the governmental regulation of banks, home mortgages, etc. It is possible that this [real or imaginary, implemented or anticipated] regulation upsets some partnerships, causes someone to not want to be partners anymore, to not to play nice together, etc. Luckily, this influence will be brief.

Jan 30 (Th): Strong influence; market may possibly go up (60-65%). Today, we can see a larger than usual trading volume and/or this may be a busier than normal day.

Jan 31 St. (Fr): Strong mixed influence; market may possibly go up (65%). Even though the overall trend will continue to be UP, there may be some brief distress in the pre-open hours and, potentially, late in the day. The focus on the governmental regulation of the financial sector, banks, mortgages etc. will continue and may peak today (e.g., parties deciding how to proceed with the regulation may reach a conclusion that they have evaluated the matter sufficiently and now it is the time to act).

——————–

In sum, the optimism about the US economy will be strong and will likely result in January being an UP month overall. There is also a strong possibility that we will see a temporary reversal in the direction late in the first week of February (probably down on Th and Fr).

On a longer timescale, the optimism will likely continue through the end of April, with a potentially worrisome period for the USA (and a temporary down swing) around March 13. There will likely be a major turning point (probably a MAX) around the 3rd week or the end of April. The mid and end of April look like important and intense times, with the words “feeding frenzy” coming to mind. There may be unexpected risky get-rich-quick opportunities popping up all over the place; however, one must act quickly and avoid overspending or staying in too long, as there will also be increased potential for losing large sums of money.

Jan 13-17, 2014 Predictions: Financial Astrology

Yup, am still working on something 🙂 and have only had the time to put together predictions for this upcoming week.

—————–

In sum: The mood will likely remain fairly positive all week – the market will probably continue going up, to peak somewhere around January 21-22. To a large degree, this positive mood will be due to upbeat news about the economy from the US; the most likely source of positive news will be workforce and healthcare.

Additionally, in the US, there may be greater than usual focus on things related to IT, telecommunications, travel (including airlines), retail sales in general (i.e., of small miscellaneous items) and sales of electric/unusual/unique cars in particular. This week, esp. Jan 13-15, is a great time for making improvements in these areas (e.g., coming up with innovations, offering new services or products, announcing new leadership, etc.).

—————–

Jan 13 (Mon): Medium influence; market may possibly go up (55-60%).

Jan 13-15: Good days for making announcements about improvements, new leadership, or new technology in the area of IT, travel (esp. airlines and electric or unusual cars), new technologies (such as communication devices and navigation systems), etc.

USA: Jan 13-15 look positive in terms of improved US status in the world (e.g., there may be good news about its economy improving or some success on the global arena).

Jan 14 (Tue): Weak influence; market may possibly go up (60%). There is an increased possibility of a brief (and likely positive) announcement around noon about banks, savings, mortgages, real estate, and/or food/farming.

On Jan 14-16, there is an increased probability of arguments over money or a push for greater [government/corporate] control over money –the arguments will likely revolve around ensuring fairness and proper balanced approach to governing/controlling the financial system and/or the flow of money. The situation will likely involve partners arguing over spending/investments/earnings/etc. – the arguments may be presented in the seesaw-like manner in order to develop a balanced outcome. Because there is a strong push for action, any arguments will likely be resolved or some outcome will be achieved fairly quickly.

Jan 15 (Wed): Medium influence; market may possibly go up (60-65%).

USA: On Jan 15, there may possibly be a brief public announcement related to the areas of IT, communications, travel, retail sales, or education – potentially, about some situation that has been developing over previous months and will now be highlighted in the news. The announcement may involve reporting some achievement/conclusion of a project and will likely involve or affect unions/larger groups of people [workers] – for example, union workers or several organizations may reach an agreement or revise the terms of contract, which would affect how they function together as a group.

Jan 16 (Th): Medium influence; market may possibly go up (60%).

USA: On Jan 16-17, there may be increased focus on governmental regulation and oversight of areas of the economy/industries related to or known for hidden, shadowy, secretive activities (e.g., spying). Alternatively, the focus may be on regulation of mines/mining (and anything that is dug up from the earth, such as metals), healthcare (esp. drugs and pharmaceuticals), chemicals/poisons/contamination (esp. of water), and/or ameliorating the suffering of people from disadvantaged backgrounds or those who are locked up/isolated in some manner (e.g., elderly, sick, prisoners, etc.).

Jan 17 (Fr): Medium influence; market may possibly go up (60-65%), esp. in the afternoon.
