Jan 6-9, 2014 Predictions: Financial Astrology

Am still working on some other stuff and have only had the time to put together some predictions for this upcoming week.

—————–

In sum: This whole week, esp. 6-7, the news will continue to focus on topics like mortgages, real-estate, food supply, and various domestic issues. Of particular interest/importance will be regulation of the above issues by the government and/or some large corporate entities.

In the US especially (mostly on Jan 6-9), there may be anger and/or push for action in the above areas to remove some obstacles or old laws, or to override conservative approach in some way in order to foster the growth of real-estate market, to improve opportunities to save (by banks and/or by citizens), to improve conditions for the banks, to stabilize banks, etc. The motivation will be desire for greater freedom and expansion in the areas related to various domestic issues, such as homeland security, real-estate, mortgages, people’s living conditions, food supply security, farming, banks and savings (by banks or by citizens), etc. These sorts of issues will be mostly pondered, digested, internalized, reflected on, mused about, etc. at this time – the final enactment, culmination, passing the laws, or the laws taking effect will likely take place at the end of April 2014 (esp. 25-29). So, expect discussions on topics related to real-estate, mortgages, banks, financial system [regulation], savings, etc. that take place the week of Jan 6 to result in some follow-up actions/finalization around April 25-29.

—————–

Jan 6 (Mon): Strong influence; market may possibly go down (60-65%).

Jan 6-7: Increased likelihood of investors displaying some excessive behavior and overreacting to the news – either selling or buying (esp. on the news related to mortgages, real-estate, banks’ profits, domestic security, etc.). Regardless of the market direction, the probability of greater than average size swings is increased. Jan 6-7 could be a MIN, or at least the market direction will probably change on the 8th.

USA: On Jan 6-7, there’s increased possibility of some mildly positive international news (e.g., about partnerships or group participation, and/or progress toward some common goal).

Jan 7 (Tue): Strong influence; market may possibly go down (60%). Busy news day, esp. in the morning, with news probably focusing on government regulations of financial sector, money flow, and/or income of large corporate entities. If large corporations (or even entire countries) are to report profits today, the news will probably be good (e.g., that the profits have increased, the company is solid, long-term prognosis is improving, etc.).

USA: On Jan 7-8, there may be some brief positive news about the US status in the world, incl. improved economic influence, leadership position, etc. Additionally, there may be hopeful news or just hopeful mood that the real-estate market is doing well or that it will improve soon (e.g., “we hit the bottom and now we can only go up”-type of sentiment), that domestic economy is stabilizing, that it is or will be easier to buy a home, save, etc. Alternatively, hopeful mood will be about other [home]land-related issues, such as domestic security, food supply, farming, etc.

Jan 8 (Wed): Medium-strong influence; market may possibly go up (55-60%).

On Jan 8-9, public mood will likely be more calm/stable compared to the 6-7 – there may be a general understanding and acceptance of impending/unavoidable governmental regulation of financial matters, the regulation will somehow feel more real, grounded, expressed in reality, signed into a law, etc.

USA: Jan 8-9 may see increased news about hidden issues and agendas (e.g., secretive spying programs, hidden enemies, deception, etc.), and/or, about healthcare and elderly care, drugs, pharmaceuticals, etc. There may also be brief news about poisoning (e.g., contaminated water), or that bad weather trapped people somewhere, or that someone got lost (e.g., under an avalanche), etc.

Jan 9 (Th): Medium-strong influence; market may possibly go up (55-60%).

Jan 10 (Fr): Medium influence; market may possibly go up (60-65%), esp. in the afternoon.

Jan 2-3, 2014 Predictions and 2014 Highlights for the USA: Financial Astrology

Happy New Year to everyone! Here are some brief predictions for the first two trading days of 2014, with more predictions to follow over the next few days/weeks. Specifically, I’ll put out detailed January predictions, 2014 predictions for the USA, and some long-term predictions for the USA (through about 2024).

—————–

Jan 2 (Th): Strong mixed influence; market may possibly go up (55-60%). A super busy news day, with increased news about topics like mortgages, real-estate, food supply, and various domestic issues (e.g., developments within specific countries as opposed to the global-scale events). The focus will likely be on government regulation of the above issues, some large corporate entities making changes that affect the above areas, and/or possibly travel (e.g., some new ways of growing and delivering food, changes [prob. increase] in domestic tourism, changes [prob. increase] in home sales, etc.). Geopolitically, a tense day, with increased potential for accidents, violence, protests, etc. Again, prob. due to some domestic issues (so tensions that are localized or erupt over issues related to how people feel about their country, homes, real-estate, mortgages, living conditions, food, etc.).

Jan 2-3: Increased likelihood of investors displaying some excessive behavior and overreacting to the news – either selling or buying (esp. on the news related to mortgages, real-estate, banks’ profits, domestic security, etc.). Regardless of the market direction, the probability of greater than average size swings is increased. For the US, there is an increased possibility of some mild international tensions/misunderstandings (like disagreement with some partner because of the opposing views) or tension/pushback over some law.

Jan 3 (Fr): Strong mixed influence; market may possibly go up (55-60%). Today, the geopolitical tensions will likely subside slightly compared to the 2nd, but the behavior demonstrating some excess by the investors will likely increase. The overall mood may be fairly optimistic—either because there are some positive news (e.g., related to the real-estate or banks, such as that home sales are up, banks’ savings are up or that banks are profiting, etc.) —or, because investors are selling like crazy and they are feeling euphoric over how much they’ve made and that their savings are up.

—————–

USA 2014 highlights: January looks like a pretty eventful month (e.g., Jan 6-10 and 20-22 look pretty important, with increased potential for very positive news about the US economy around 20-22).  In general, 2014 will see several long-terms trends that have been unfolding in the background yielding some results/coming to fruition or an end. In particular (superficial first glance):

Jan 20-22 (and preceding/following couple of days/weeks) — some highlight /positive news about the economy, passage of laws, improved international relationships

Mar 10-13 (and preceding/following couple of weeks; culmination of some multi-year influence) — stress in international relationships, passage of laws (esp. related to surveillance, terrorism, mines, or other hidden issues), raised terror alert or some threat to the well-being of the country, increased power struggle within the country leadership, threat to the leadership, etc.

Apr 15-18 (and preceding/following couple of weeks; culmination of some multi-year influence) — a mixed bag of surprising (and potentially unpleasant) events re international relationships, leaders, but also increased optimism about the economy and the [new? younger?] leadership and [new? less-discriminatory/more-freedom-asserting?] laws. This time is significant on a global scale as well – very likely a MAJOR market direction change point; prob. a MAX.

May 14-18 (and preceding/following couple of weeks; culmination of some multi-year influence) — stress in international relationships, passage of laws (esp. related to surveillance, terrorism, mines, or other hidden issues), raised terror alert or some threat to the well-being of the country, increased power struggle within the country leadership, threat to the leadership, etc.  Also, some surprising (and potentially unpleasant) news about the financial system (e.g., some banks go under w/o much warning) or at least, worries/anxiety about the financial system and lack of money.

Nov 6-13 (and preceding/following couple of weeks; culmination of some multi-year influence) — some surprising (and potentially unpleasant) news about the leadership, change in the leadership (new? younger?), and/or some laws (new? less-discriminatory/more-freedom-asserting?) and/or international relationships.

Nov 22-30 (and preceding/following couple of days/weeks) — potential distress over loans, taxes, investments, governmental control, as well as any hidden issues, like surveillance, terrorism,  spying, mines (and whatever is dug up from the ground, like metals), etc.

Stock market predictions December, 2013: Financial Astrology

Here are some astro-financial predictions for December 2013. 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.]

————-

DECEMBER: Overall, December looks like an UP month for the market, especially the first half, although there is also a possibility of some international (even military) tensions at the end of the month (especially after the 20th). These tensions, however, may be more of a political nature (e.g., some riots for freedom) and if so, may not necessarily result in a large drop in the stock market. That said, it’s worth noting that  Venus (money) in Capricorn (government/regulation) will turn retrograde at the end of the month as well, which potentially indicates decreased importance of finances/market (e.g., because other matters take precedence), delays in payments, reevaluation of financial systems (especially how they are regulated), or a reversal in the market trend.

The following dates look relatively more interesting:

“Positive”: During the week of Dec 9, the mood may be relatively optimistic (e.g., people may feel confident that their investments are stable and their portfolios continue to grow); one reason behind the optimism may be some reports/studies showing encouraging long-term trends in the real estate market. Even if there are some down days during that week, the overall positive influence will likely preclude big drops.

Negative”: On Dec 20-31 [♂☍♅ and ♂☐♇], there is an increased likelihood of tensions among countries or among entities within individual countries – this may be related to some sort of partnerships falling out, military conflict, and/or domestic security issues. Possible negative manifestations include protests to demand freedom, increased possibility of accidents and equipment malfunctions, explosions, disputes between partners, lack of cooperation, impulsive angry outbursts, etc. Dec 20 and especially Dec 30 look the most stressful.

USA: With transiting Neptune (illusion/hope) forming a supportive trine aspect to US Venus (money/pleasures) virtually all month (exact around Christmas), I expect a prevailing mood of optimism, hopefulness, and blissful delusion about financial situation of the country. Additionally, since Venus in the US chart rules 6th house of workforce, civil servants, and medical services, we may expect some hopeful although possibly confusing/misleading reports about the developments in these areas.

Lastly, around Dec 18-19th, there may be increased focus in the US on some developments in the area of real estate, farming, food or water supply, healthcare, domestic security, etc. For example, there may be a public announcement of some milestone, push for a change in international relationships to improve security, or simply increased discussions/news about some domestic situation.

————-

December 2 (Mon): Weak influence; market may possibly go up (55-60%). Some public announcement right at the opening is possible (e.g., about debt, loans, insurance, taxes, death, hidden issues, nuclear power, etc.).

USA: Increased focus on debt/loans (especially home mortgage loans), financial systems, taxes, insurance (especially profits made by health insurance companies), etc. If the news is about home loans and/or health insurance, it’ll probably be positive (like profits increased, changes are proceeding smoothly, etc.). If the news is about regulation of insurance, loans or taxes in general, or, about websites/apps/IT or communication aspects related to insurance/taxes/etc, the news may be unpleasant or some action may be announced (e.g., about a new app or change in the way insurance companies receive/send data).

December 3 (Tue): Weak influence; market may possibly go up (55-60%). The up influence is stronger in the morning and early afternoon.

December 4 (Wed): Weak influence; market may possibly go up (55%). The up influence is stronger in the morning and early afternoon; the last half hour before closing may potentially see a down move.

USA: International relationships and the US status in the world may be briefly in the news today. The news will probably be positive and the topic may involve finances, trading, some sort of exchange of valuables, etc.

December 5 (Th): Medium influence; market may possibly go up (55-60%). The up influence is stronger in the morning and early afternoon. In the late afternoon, the influence will be mixed – there may either be some optimistic exuberant mood in the last 30-60 minutes or so, or, the market may go down with a bottom/low forming late Dec 5 – Dec 6.

USA: On Dec 5-6, there may be some positive/encouraging news about the US status in the world, or that some governmental initiative is being implemented successfully, and/or that the US is doing well overall.

December 6 (Fr): Medium-strong mixed influence; market may possibly go up (55-60%). The signature today indicates that a bottom/low may occur (unless the market bottoms up late Dec 5). Because there are also positive transits to the US chart today, I anticipate that the market will go up after hitting the low in the morning or early afternoon. However, it is also possible that the market will go down all day and that Dec 6 will be a low-to-high reversal day, with the market going up on Monday, Dec 7.

December 9 (Mon): Medium-strong influence; market may possibly go up (55-60%).

During the week of Dec 9, the mood may be relatively optimistic (e.g., people may feel confident that their investments are stable and their portfolios continue to grow); one reason behind the optimism may be some reports/studies showing encouraging long-term trends in the real estate market. This influence will probably be the strongest on Dec 9-10.

Dec 9-10: There is an increased possibility of positive/upbeat news about transportation (including airlines), retail sales, IT, telecommunications, etc. For example, these are good days for buying or selling phones or improving communication in general.

USA: Dec 9-10 may be busy news days, with the focus largely on international relationships, partnerships, and/or transportation (including airlines), retail sales, IT, telecommunications, etc. For example, there may be news about airline mergers or some improvements in their services. Additionally, on Dec 10-12, there may be news about some improvements in the area of healthcare and/or care for the elderly; alternatively, the news may focus on financing these areas (e.g., where to find the money to pay for these expenses).

December 10 (Tue): Medium-strong mixed influence; market may possibly go up (55-60%). The up influence is stronger globally than for the US. There is a chance that the market will go down instead – that would be primarily the case if there are worries about financing healthcare/elderly care in the US.

December 11 (Wed): Medium-strong mixed influence; market may possibly go down (55%). The down influence is stronger late p.m. Globally, the mood should remain relatively positive overall, although not as positive as on the 10th. The down prediction is mainly based on potential concerns about financing healthcare/elderly care in the US.

December 12 (Th): Medium-strong mixed influence; market may possibly go down (55-60%). On Dec 12-13, there is an increased possibility of worrisome news or tensions related to healthcare or hidden activities, such as spying (globally and especially in the US), as well as water poisoning, mishandling of oil, or some pollution of liquids or through liquids. At the same time, the overall confidence in stability of the market and investments may remain strong and/or there may be positive news about real estate market. So, if there’s a market drop, it will probably be relatively small.

December 13 (Fr): Medium influence; market may possibly go up (55-60%). Regardless of the direction, it will likely reverse compared to the 12th.

December 16 (Mon): Weak-medium influence; market may possibly go up (55%). This influence is stronger globally than for the US. There may be some increased news in the morning about international communication or negotiations (e.g., that the parties are continuing to discuss the issue but have not yet come to an agreement).

USA: There may be some mildly distressing news about the US status in the world, or, alternatively, dissatisfying news about some domestic situation, such as food supply or the real estate market. This influence is relatively short-lived and should pass quickly. There may also be some important public announcement by the leaders, possibly related to investments/insurance/taxes/hidden issues/mining/etc. (e.g., coming out of some leadership meeting/conference/address to the nation on TV) – if so, it may not be received very favorably or perceived as not completely genuine.

On Dec 16-19, there may be increased focus in the US on the country’s image and relationships with other countries. There may be an increased push for some sort of an action to expand US influence or to improve relationships. This influence may also manifest as increased optimism about the expansion of the US economy. In general, real estate, food supply, domestic security, and other domestic issues may be particularly in focus.

December 17 (Tue): Weak-medium influence; market may possibly go up (55%).

December 18 (Wed): Medium influence; market may possibly go down (60-65%). The expectation of a down move is mostly due to mildly stressful transits to the US chart.

USA: There is an increased possibility of upsetting news or discussion related to investments, speculative interests, and/or stock exchange (e.g., that some entity or entities where too aggressive in their approach). Alternatively or in addition to that, there may be some mildly distressing or perhaps merely energizing news about the entertainment industry. This influence is fleeting and should only remain in effect for one day.

On Dec 18-19, there may be some positive news in the US about some domestic situation, such as real estate, farming, land, food supply, domestic security, etc. For example, there may be an announcement that country has reached a milestone in one of these areas or that things are stabilizing/progressing well. Additionally, this time favors establishing some governing rules over matters related to drugs, water, and/or oil. The discussions will likely not all be positive, however, with a possibility of some brief conflict or confusion over these same matters erupting on the afternoon of the 18th; alternatively, instead of the conflict, there may be a deception (e.g., a report may come out with positive findings, but some information may be omitted).

December 19 (Th): Medium influence; market may possibly go up (55-60%).

December 20 (Fr): Medium-strong influence; market may possibly go down (60-65%). This influence is stronger in the afternoon.

Both globally and in the US, Dec 20 may see some intensifying tensions among countries – this may be related to some sort of partnerships falling out, military conflict, and/or domestic security issues. These global tensions may further intensify over the next few days to peak around Dec 24. Possible negative manifestations include protests to demand freedom, increased possibility of accidents and equipment malfunctions, explosions, disputes between partners, lack of cooperation, impulsive angry outbursts, etc. Possible positive manifestations include breakthroughs in fire arms manufacturing, coming out with an innovative approach in the area of IT/telecommunications, attaining freedom/independence, etc.

USA: In addition to domestic security issues, on Dec 20, there may also be mildly distressing news about real estate, food supply, and/or negative publicity about the US status in the world. This is a short-lived influence and should pass within a day.

December 23 (Mon): Strong mixed influence; market may possibly go down (60-65%). This influence is stronger globally than for the US.

The down prediction on Dec 23-24 is mainly due to the increased potential for global [military-type] tensions; however, Dec 23-24 may be relatively positive days for the US economy (e.g., there may be positive news about, or at least increased focus on, the labor market). Consequently, it’s possible that the market will not go down [as much] in the US.

December 24 (Tue): [US Market closes early]. Strong mixed influence; market may possibly go down (60-65%). This influence is stronger globally than for the US.

USA: Dec 24-25 will probably be very busy news days. The news will likely be positive and related to transportation, communication, IT, retail sales, as well as labor market, workforce, civil servants, and medical services.

December 25 (Wed): [US Market closed].

USA: Good day for transportation and communication industries (e.g., there may be reports of increased sales, especially of communication devices). Considering the unfolding background of some global tensions, any military activities or decisive actions  involving airplanes or IT/communications (e.g., moving data, repairing connections, moving supplies by air, etc.) should also proceed smoothly/in an unobstructed way.

December 26 (Th): Strong mixed influence; market may possibly go down (55%).

Dec 26-27: Busy news days, with the news likely focusing on governmental regulation or suppression of something, such as information. It is possible that the distressing news will be related to political disturbances, such as some protests, rather than to economic problems – in this case, the market may actually go up.

The down influence on Dec 26-27 is stronger globally than for the US – in the US, there may be optimism about the country’s status in the world and/or its expansion on the international arena. Depending on whether this optimism is related to political or economic situation, it may or may not have a direct effect on the stock market. That is, if the optimism is because of the news about economic improvement, the market would go up; if the optimism/good news is about some political victory, the global down trend will likely prevail.

USA: On Dec 26-30, there is increased possibility of worrisome news or tensions related to healthcare, elderly care, drugs, pollution because of poisonous substances, mining, oil, and/or hidden activities, such as spying.

December 27 (Fr): Strong mixed influence; market may possibly go down (60-65%).

December 30 (Mon): Strong influence; market will probably go down (70-75%). Looks like a pretty stressful day, with tensions likely related to some individuals or entities protesting against what they perceive to be oppression by the government and/or large corporate entities. The conflict may even be between larger entities, such as entire countries. A busy news day, with news likely focusing on some violent eruptions/riots (the disturbances will likely be the continuation of some situation unfolding since the previous week, so the weekend looks stressful too).

December 31 (Tue): Strong influence; market may possibly go down (60-65%). The tensions will likely continue today as well, although the stressful influence may begin to slowly subside by late afternoon.

And, on this extraordinarily cheerful note, Happy New Year to all! 😀

Stock market predictions November 11-30, 2013: Financial Astrology.

Here are some astro-financial predictions for November 2013. 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.]

————-

NOVEMBER: With the Sun, Mercury, Saturn, and the North node transiting through the sign of Scorpio this month, the emphasis will likely be on issues or entities related to one or more of the following: insurance companies, hidden issues (e.g., spying, hacking, deception, etc.), mines/metals, control/suppression, ending/beginning/transformation, and nuclear power. This energy is further supported by the tense square between Pluto (ruler of Scorpio) in Capricorn and Uranus in Aries—there will likely be some continuing tensions between controlling or hidden forces that would like to keep the old rigid structures and entities desiring to change the status quo, even if it means engaging in some aggressive/revolutionary activities.

The following dates look relatively more tense:

-Nov 14- 15 [♀☌♇, ☐♅], with the market likely going down, especially on the 14th. This influence may affect global markets more than the US. Possible manifestations include concerns or unexpected news about money (e.g., how financial system is regulated by government). The transit may also bring an increase of nuclear power-related news; however, since it is Venus energizing the Pluto-Uranus square here, I‘d expect these news to be of positive nature (e.g., some entity spends money or offers help to deal with the issue); and

-Nov 20-25 [☿☌♄], with the market likely going down on some sober news (esp. in the early a.m. on the 25th,). The news will probably focus on limiting overspending, toning down the optimism, reducing expectations, and/or calling for more mature/logical analyses of the spending situation. In sum, expectations will be adjusted down, but the sober mood will turn more optimistic on Nov 26-early 28th.

On the positive side,

Nov 26-28 [♀☍♃] look relatively more optimistic/happy, with market likely going up (especially on the 27). Many people may feel like overindulging and overspending (this includes spending money to buy stocks etc.).

————-

November 11 (Mon): Medium influence; market may possibly go up (55-60%). Overall, this should be a relatively positive and optimistic day.

Nov 11-12 – Communications about healthcare, medical treatments, pharmaceuticals, and/or water contamination should proceed smoothly.

USA: Nov 11 aspects to the US chart also favor an up move, particularly at the open. Pre-market and early a.m., the mood will likely be very positive, probably because of some good news related to US status or outlook.

Additionally, Nov 11-18 aspects to the US chart indicate a possibility of positive news in the following domains: technology, telecommunications, electronics, computers/IT, transportation (including airlines), and/or retail sales. This influence favors coming up with some unusual and/or innovative approaches in the domains above.

November 12 (Tue): Medium influence; market may possibly go up (55%). The mood will probably still be relatively positive, especially in the early morning/at the open, with optimism subsiding over the course of the day.

USA: On Nov 12-13, there may be some positive news about the workforce, healthcare, and/or social improvements in general. There may also be positive news about relationships/partnerships with other countries (e.g., that some talks are going smoothly).

November 13 (Wed): Medium influence; market may possibly go up (55%).

USA: Nov 13 may see some minor positive news related to real estate, housing market, home mortgage lending policies, domestic security, food supply, and/or agricultural commodities.

November 14 (Th): Strong influence; market will probably go down (60%). The day may see some tensions around excessive governmental/corporate control of finances. There may be a lot of excitement in the air, potentially over some unexpected new initiatives – for example, an initiative to reduce control or to make it more tolerable. Another possibility is increased news about all things hidden, such as spying or hacking, or about mines and metals (likely positive news or news about increased income).

November 15 (Fr): Medium-strong influence; market may possibly go up (55%), this influence is stronger in the afternoon. The morning may still be relatively tense, but should improve in the afternoon.

USA: There will likely be some positive news about the US standing in the world and/or partnerships with other countries. Nov 14-16 are good days for engaging in any sort of international negotiations.

November 18 (Mon): Medium influence; market may possibly go down (55%). There will likely be some important public announcement, probably in the morning (around 10:20-10:25am EST), regarding one or more of the following: insurance companies, hidden issues (e.g. spying, hacking, deception, etc.), mines, metals, and nuclear power. The announcement may involve leadership, taking a new approach, beginning a new project, communication, IT, retail sales, and/or transportation – for example, a new communication campaign begins aimed at influencing how insurance companies do business, or, technological innovation is announced that improves efficiency of searching for/collecting hidden data or excavating metals, etc.

USA: There may be some mildly distressing news about insurance companies and/or some hidden issues (e.g., spying, hacking, deception, mines, etc.). Considering that a similar influence will be unfolding on the mundane [global] level, it seems probable that the public announcement mentioned above will come from the US (Obamacare website comes to mind).

November 19 (Tue): Medium-mixed influence; market may possibly go up (55%). There is a possibility of slightly distressing news about jobs/workforce, or, healthcare, especially right at the open.

Nov 19-20 favor discussing issues related to government/corporate control (e.g., control over money, control over hidden information or through hidden means, etc.) and/or limitations imposed by those entities (e.g., restrictions on business operations of health insurance companies).

USA: There could be some positive news related to insurance companies, hidden issues, mines, and or international relationships. The news may be about finding a way to deal with the situation diplomatically/in a nice way, or, about finding money to pay for something. If this positive influence prevails, the market may go up on the optimism. On the negative side, Nov 19-20 may also see increased tensions/concerns related to the financial system, such as about the lack of money or restrictions on financing. If this negative influence prevails, the market may go down – this possibility increases in the late afternoon.

Nov 19-21 may also see increased tensions/anger in the US over various entities not being able to work collaboratively – the conflict will probably intensify or there will be increased drama in pre-market hours/ at the open on the 21st.

November 20 (Wed): Strong influence; market will probably go down (60-65%). The expectation of a down move is mostly due to stressful aspects to the US chart.

Nov 20-22 – increased discussions about government regulations of insurance companies, lending institutions, taxes/taxation methods, etc.

USA: On Nov 20-22, there is a greater likelihood of tensions/anger/fight over issues related to healthcare, medications, workforce, domestic security, real estate/mortgages, contaminated water, etc. Alternatively, a decisive action may be taken that will have a strong effect on one or more of these areas.

November 21 (Th): Strong-mixed influence; market may possibly go down (60-65%). The expectation of a down move is mostly due to stressful aspects to the US chart. Globally, however, the mood today may be relatively positive/optimistic.

November 22 (Fr): Medium-strong influence; market may possibly go down (60-65%). The expectation of a down move is mostly due to stressful aspects to the US chart. Globally, the day may be not as stressful as for the US, although the tone today will likely be more sober/practical compared to the 21st.

November 25 (Mon): Strong influence; market may possibly go down (60-65%). This influence is stronger in the early morning through about 1pm). The market will probably reverse its direction, from down to up, in the afternoon on the 25th or on the 26th.

November 26 (Tue): Medium-strong influence; market may possibly go up (60-65%), especially in the afternoon. There would be likely be a reversal in direction compared to the 25th — the mood should be a lot more optimistic and exuberant. [Note that the reversal in the direction may begin in the afternoon of the 25th.]

USA: Nov 26-30 will likely see an improved mood and increased optimism about the country’s financial situation, in particular, about the workforce, healthcare, and/or general social improvements. There may also be positive news about relationships/partnerships with other countries.

November 27 (Wed): Medium-strong influence; market may possibly go up (65-70%).  There may be increased and likely positive/inspiring news about insurance companies, food supply, agricultural commodities, real estate, mortgage lenders, and/or government regulations regarding lending.

USA: There may be some military-related news, and/or news about the US taking some decisive action and asserting itself as a leader. In addition, healthcare and jobs/workforce-related issues may be prominently in the news. There may be anger or conflict around these issues or some decisive action will be taken to address them.

November 28 (Th): [US Market closed].

November 29 (Fr): [US Market closes early]. Medium influence; market may possibly go up (60-65%). Aspects to the US chart also support an up move.

November 6-8, 2013 – Financial Astrology Predictions

Ok, this is getting out of hand, but it’s been a busy week, so the post for the remainder of November will have to wait until the weekend. In the meantime, here are predictions for November 6-8, 2013:

November 6 (Wed): Medium influence; the market may possibly go up (55%) – more so in the afternoon. The morning will probably see a down move or, at least, more sober/practical news will likely prevent it from rallying. The focus of the news in the early morning hours may be on some restrictions, decisions by government/large corporation(s) (e.g., about business restructuring, changing leaders, asserting authority over something, limiting something, imposing limits, ending something, etc.) – there may be some related announcement around 11:38-11:40am (the announcement may bring some happy news, like about some partners cooperating, expanding relationships, etc.).

November 7 (Thur): Medium-strong influence; the market may possibly go up (55-60%). At least, there will likely be a reversal in direction from the 6th.

USA: Likely a busy news day for the US. The focus will probably be on finances, workforce/jobs, healthcare and/or funding of social programs; real-estate, food security, and/or domestic security may also get extra attention. Overall, the mood will probably be positive, favoring continuation or resumption of negotiations/communications/talks (especially about healthcare, lies, water, medicines, insurance, etc.). On the negative side, there will also be some pull-push energy, with some wanting to spend money on issues/objects that somehow guarantee security or provide food/domestic stability and others wanting to restrict/limit/impose authority over this process. If the push-pull energy is too strong, the market may go down – this possibility increases in late afternoon.

November 8 (Fr): Medium influence; the market may possibly go up (60-65%). The mood will probably be more relaxed and optimistic compared to the 7th.

November 4-5, 2013 – Financial Astrology Predictions

Another quick post, for November 4-5, 2013 this time – busy weekend, will have to delay the full-length November post by a day or two, sorry 😦

November 4 (Mon): The market may possibly go up (55%). Another busy news day, with the news probably related to insurance companies and/or governmental control/restrictions over investments/savings and/or insurance/taxes. The discussion will likely have a serious/practical tone, which tends to bring the market down; however, aspects to the US chart support an up move a bit more strongly (confidence in the strength/power of the US should be relatively high today), hence the overall UP prediction.

November 5 (Tue): The market may possibly go down (55-60%). The discussions about insurance companies and/or governmental control/restrictions over investments/savings and/or insurance/taxes will continue and, potentially, intensify. The mood may still be somewhat optimistic early am/pre-open, but will likely become more and more sober as the day progresses, with the optimism giving way to some more serious considerations/doubts/concerns [about savings/insurance/taxes/etc.] pm.

Financial Astrology Predictions — November 1, 2013

A quick post for November 1, 2013 — will write complete predictions for November over the weekend 🙂

November 1: The market may possibly go up (55-60%). A busy news day, with increased communications about mines/hidden things/things dug up from below/etc., government control and/or investments. Some announcement is especially likely around 12:30-12:42pm EST.
—————————

NOVEMBER: At a glance,

Nov 14- 15 [♀☌♇,☐♅] stand out as relatively stressful dates, with the market likely going down (60-65%). This influence is stronger on the 14th and may affect global markets more than the US. This influence may manifest as concerns about money or unexpected news about money, among other things. The transit may also bring nuclear power-related news more into the headlines, but since it is Venus energizing the Pluto-Uranus square, I‘d expect these news to be of positive nature (e.g., some entity spends money or offers help to deal with the issue).

Nov 25 [☿☌♄] possibly a down day (60%) on some sober news (esp. in the first half of the day through about 1pm) – the news will not be terribly bad though – more about limiting (in an easy/soft/non-violent/diplomatic way) the exuberant mood and/or desire to overspend, toning down the optimism, reducing expectations, or calling for a more mature/logical analyses of the spending situation. In sum, expectations will be adjusted down, but there will still be hopeful mood (to become even more optimistic on Nov 26-early 28th, when the market will probably go up, esp. the 27th).

Nov 27-28 [♀☍♃] stand out as relatively more optimistic/happy mood days, with market likely going up (especially on the 27) (60%); at least, people may feel like overindulging and overspending.

USA: A brief look at the transits to the USA chart for the rest of the month shows some increased tension or action around

Nov 19-21 (financial system/banks [e.g., money isn’t flowing very smoothly, there’s some obstacle] as well as anger/ upset/call for action/emotions running high),

Nov 22-23 (possible anger/upset over real estate, contaminated water or food supply, over lies/deceptions; alternatively, increased activity/action/decision related to healthcare/ pharmaceuticals/drugs), and

Nov 28-30 (USA potentially more prominent in international news than usual and/or there is increased focus on communications/travel (e.g., cars, airplanes, etc.)/sales/electronics (e.g., cell phones) – either some action is taken, or possibly there’s some surprise).

Stock market predictions October, 2013: Financial Astrology

Here are some astro-financial predictions for October 2013. 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.]
————-

OCTOBER: The whole month will be under the influence of transiting Pluto and Uranus approaching a tense square aspect with each other. This energy will likely correspond to the intensification of tensions between forces pushing for radical changes, new approaches or beginnings, more freedom, innovation, sudden [military] actions, actions to overturn status quo, rebels, etc. and forces that prefer hierarchical/structured approach, government/large corporations/authority figures, forces that try to regulate/control/manipulate, etc. The aspect will become exact around Oct 31 – Nov 1, so we may see increased tensions at the end of the month.

The most tense dates will probably be Oct 1-2 and Oct 14-18 – especially Oct 17-18 may see increased tension/anger/fights over healthcare-related issues, water contamination, medications, poisoning, and/or deception of some sort.
————-

October 1 (Tue): Strong-mixed influence; market may possibly go down (60-65%). This influence is stronger globally than for the US.

October 1 – favorable time for talks related to healthcare, spirituality, water [contamination], etc. However, this influence favors an ongoing/continuing communication, rather than resolution (e.g., because the issue hasn’t reached a critical mass).

October 1-3 – some tensions resulting from an opposition between entities/forces pushing for a radical new approach to something (e.g., military leaders pushing for action) and those in favor for more diplomatic/useful resolution or approach. There will likely be a reversal in the market trend, from down to up, probably late Oct 1 or early Oct 2.

USA: There could be positive news/reports/actions taken related to jobs, retail sales, and/or partnerships with other countries. Oct 1-2 are favorable for improving US status in the world.

October 2 (Wed): Medium-mixed influence; market may possibly go up (55%), especially in the afternoon. This influence is stronger for the USA than globally (my original global prediction was DOWN, but I changed it to UP, because of the positive transit to the US chart).

We may continue to hear about the opposition between more aggressive/military/radically-oriented entities proposing some sort of an abrupt change or a new approach and entities proposing a more diplomatic approach/compromise; however, the tension should begin to ease by the end of the day.

October 3 (Th): Weak-medium influence; market may possibly go up (55%); aspects to the US chart are supportive of the up move as well. There will likely be a change of direction in the market compared to October 1.

USA: Good day for international relationships/talks.

October 4 (Fr): Medium influence; market may possibly go down (55%).

October 4-5 – there could be some public announcement related to the resolution of the tensions between entities insisting on a more aggressive approach and entities supportive of a compromise. The energy is somewhat more supportive of taking a diplomatic route/achieving a compromise [at least, public/support will be behind the diplomatic/compromising entities]. The news/announcement could be related to debt, investments, mines, metals, hidden issues, government secrets, etc. For example, a report may come out with the results of some investigation.

October 7 (Mon): Strong influence; market may possibly go down (60%). There will likely be some serious news/talks related to government regulations, mines, hidden resources/activities, or, control over resources (e.g., investments), or, there may be concerns over lack of resources, or, concerns that there is too much control. In general, the discussions will likely focus on limitations/restrictions, especially related to controls imposed by the government/large corporate entities.

October 7-8 – we will likely see a reversal in the market trend on these dates, from down to up, either late Oct or early Oct 8.

October 7-11 – the mood will improve over the course of the week; there should be more optimism this week compared to the previous week, with the possibility of delusional optimism/hope bringing the market up on Oct 8-9.

October 8 (Tue): Strong-mixed influence; market may possibly go up (55%); the influence is stronger globally than for the US. It’s possible that there will be a reversal in the market direction today, from down to up. Today’s focus will likely be on governmental control, restrictions, or regulations of debt/loans/investments/etc. There will be serious discussions, or, discussions about restrictions (e.g., imposing a debt ceiling), but at the same time, the mood will likely be optimistic, favoring expansion and overspending. Healthcare funding will also be in focus in the early morning.

Late Oct 8-9 – the mood may be somewhat more optimistic compared to the 7th and early 8th; there may be some sense of relief on the 9th; some people/entities may overspend, because of either some hope or some deception; money will be spent on healthcare-related projects (or projects related to water contamination or religious causes); etc.

October 9 (Wed): Medium-strong influence; market may possibly go up (55-60%).

October 10 (Th): Weak-medium influence; market may possibly go up (60-65%). Aspects to the US chart are also supportive of the up move.

USA: Good day for improving international relationships and/or international communication; also a good day for talking about and passing laws, especially those related to debt/loans/investments.

October 11 (Fr): Weak influence; market may possibly go up (60%).

October 14 (Mon): Medium-mixed influence; market may possibly go up (55%). My original prediction was DOWN, but I changed it to UP, because of the positive aspects to the US chart.

USA: Favorable time for improving international relationships. Also, there may be good news related to job market/workforce and/or social improvements in general.

October 15 (Tue): Medium-strong mixed influence; market may possibly go up (55%). My original prediction was DOWN, but I changed it to UP, because of the positive aspects to the US chart. Healthcare, religious issues, and/or water contamination, etc. will likely be in focus in the early morning. The mood will be less optimistic today compared to October 8 and 9; there may be more stress or anger over the health-care-related issues (or religious issues, or water contamination, etc.).

October 14-18 – there may be increased tension/anger over healthcare-related issues, water contamination, poisoning, lies/deception, etc. The tensions may escalate on October 18-19. Increasing tensions may bring the market down towards the end of the week.

October 15-25 – likely, increased talks about debt/loans as well as mining, metals, spying, hiding secrets, etc. However, these talks may not result in a resolution just yet; in fact, it is possible that the parties will retreat, postpone the discussion, or put it on a back burner. This reversal or retreat may occur on the morning of October 21.

October 18-21 – there may be a reversal in the market trend on these dates, likely from down to up.

USA: On October 14-15, there may be some exciting and/or positive news related to IT companies, retail sales, transportation (including airlines), etc. Alternatively, there may be unexpected news related to funding of these domains, likely of positive nature.

October 16 (Wed): Medium influence; market may possibly go down (55%). Aspects to the USA chart are also supportive of the down move.

USA: A possibility of mild misunderstandings and/or disappointments related to the international relationships and/or US standing in the world.

October 17 (Th): Strong influence; market may possibly go down (60-65%).

October 18 (Fr): Strong-mixed influence; market may possibly go down (60%). The stressful influence will likely be related to tensions/anger/ accidents/fighting over healthcare, contaminated water, religious disagreements, deception, etc. At the same time, talks about debt/loans/real estate should go smoothly; there may be positive news about real estate. There may also be increased talks about protecting homeland and/or securing food supply.

October 21 (Mon): Weak influence; market may possibly go up (55%).

October 22 (Tue): Weak-medium influence; market may possibly go up (55%).

October 23 (Wed): Weak-medium influence; market may possibly go down (55%).

October 23-25 – Healthcare, contaminated water, religious disagreements, etc. may [again] be in focus. For example, if there are rains or floods, it is likely that the water will be allowed to flow unobstructed, or, discussions involving these topics will proceed smoothly, though no resolution may be reached (in part, because the issue is no longer pressing or no longer appears to be a threat).

October 24 (Th): Weak-medium influence; market may possibly go down (55%). The down influence is stronger globally than for the US.

USA: Good day for improving the country’s image and international relationships; there is a chance that the US market will go up.

October 24-25 – there may be a reversal in the market trend, from down to up.

October 25 (Fr): Medium influence; market may possibly go up (55%); this influence is stronger in the afternoon.

USA: On October 24-25, there may be good news related to the workforce/job market, healthcare, and/or social improvements (e.g., that some obstacles or tensions have been removed, or, that job market is improving).

October 28 (Mon): Medium-strong mixed influence; market may possibly go down (55-60%).

USA: There may be some concerns about spending on domestic programs, including those related to real estate or providing food/shelter to the masses; the concerns will likely focus on availability of funding and/or overspending. There may also be increased conflict or tensions with some country (-ies) (Oct 28-29). On the other hand, the US will feel good about its relationships with some other [ally] countries and its image in the world.

October 29 (Tue): Medium-strong influence; market may possibly go down (55- 60%).

October 28-29 – likely, serious talks about debt, loans, investments, etc. and how to control these issues in a structured manner; discussions about limiting governmental/corporate debt or rewriting bank loan policies could be taking place.

October 29-30 – action may be taken to assert control over or fix an issue related to healthcare, water contamination, deception (e.g. clarify a misconception), etc. The time is favorable for governments/large corporate entities to regulate how they approach issues of debt, investments (especially in metals or anything mined from the earth), secrecy, nuclear power, etc.

USA: October 24-31, especially the 29th, are good days for international talks and establishing a structured, responsible, practical approach towards regulating relationships with other countries, including entering into written agreements. This time also favors discussing and passing laws that will help establish/enforce responsible limits of some sort. The sober/practical tone of the talks may, however, bring the market down.

If there is a public meeting or announcement by the US leaders, it may not be well- received; the leaders may be perceived as going against what the public wants.

On October 29-30, in the US, there is an increased likelihood of accidents and/or unexpected upsetting events/news related to IT companies, transportation (including airlines), retail sales, etc.

October 30 (Wed): Strong influence; market may possibly go up (55%).

October 29-30 – on these dates, especially on the 30th, there may be a public announcement by the leaders related to loans, debt, investments, mines, metals, hidden issues (e.g., surveyance), etc.

October 28 – November 1 – likely, increased tensions between government/ large corporations/authority figures/ entities exerting control and radical/new/military/rebellious/ freedom-oriented entities. The influence provides more support to the old/constructing/controlling forces and favors a more conservative approach/keeping the status quo rather than radical changes.

October 31 (Th): Strong influence; market may possibly go down (55%). The influence is strongest in the afternoon.

USA: The country may be receiving a little extra attention on the international arena today, probably because of its financial decisions. International entities may be surprised by the USA’s decisions–these decisions may not be viewed as entirely practical (e.g., because of how much money is being spent or which programs).
————-

Long term look at 2014 indicates a major market turning point around mid-to-late April 2014 (probably, a major MAX). It will coincide with a grand cross around the 13th degree of cardinal signs. Coincidentally, USA’s Sun is in 13°18 of Cancer (a Cardinal sign) and USA’s Saturn, in14°48 of Libra (also Cardinal sign) , which underscores the importance of the unfolding events for the USA.

Planets participating in the cross, Pluto, Uranus, Jupiter, and Mars will form several, mostly tense, aspects to the US Sun and Saturn throughout 2014. Although Jupiter conjunction will likely shield the US Sun from too much stress and will probably even bring the market up in late January and the 3rd week of April, once Jupiter moves on, things will likely change direction.

In particular, I would pay attention to Pluto opposition Sun transits around March 13 and May 18 of 2014 and Jan 5, 2015. Pluto rules transformation, death/rebirth, power (incl. nuclear), [mass] control, violence, oppression, etc. Sun in the US chart is in the 8th house of loans/debt/taxes and rules the 9th house of international relationships and laws, among other things. Hence, we may expect a major period of transformation for the country—possibly new laws, related to debt/taxes, major stress in international relationships, international pressure, possibly dealing with nuclear power issues, etc. The issue(s) will likely first arise in March, to be revisited in May, and reach a climax late Dec 2014 / early Jan 2015.

Multiple stressful Uranus transits to US Saturn (ruler of the 2nd house of banks/financial system) around some of the same dates (e.g., mid-May 2014) further support the expectation of some major disruptive events in the financial system. Oh, and Uranus loves to shock—so, I wouldn’t be surprised to hear about some sudden collapse(s) of large businesses, possibly banks going under overnight, etc. Alternatively, we may hear about some unexpected brilliant solutions that will help improve the financial system in some exciting radical way.

Stock market predictions September, 2013: Financial Astrology

Here are some astro-financial predictions for September 2013. Since transits to the USA natal chart appear to strongly correlate with market moves, a few related observations are included as well, mainly to note whether transits to the US chart support the market direction I would predict based on the general planetary positions alone. Beginning in May, I have also started incorporating heliocentric transits into the analytical process. 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.]
————-

SEPTEMBER: With several stressful transits, including Mars squaring Saturn September 3-6 and Venus conjuncting Saturn, September 13-18, the month looks bearish. Additionally, transiting Jupiter has by now passed Venus, Jupiter, and Sun in the US chart, which has given a boost to the US market in July and August (especially in July, since it was a month of a so-called “Jupiter return,” a cycle that completes every 12 years).

Additionally, I noticed that Saturn (limitation) and North node (publicity) will be passing over the Sun (ego/core energy/identity) in the Microsoft chart drawn for their latest incorporation date (11/01/93 in WA) – this would indicate some [potentially negative] publicity and tensions/restructuring for the company. Since Microsoft’s stock is part of DJI, this may have a down effect on the market. While Venus (money) will pass through the same degree as well, its effect is not as powerful; so, even if there is any news about Microsoft’s profits increasing, it would likely be at the cost of downsizing and/or narrowing the focus to fewer key issues and letting other areas go. My best guess is that the strongest tension around Microsoft will be around September 16-23.

USA-specific: Transiting Neptune retrograde will be approaching trine with the US Venus all month, to become exact on September 30. This will likely bring an increased focus on healthcare, labor market, and social improvements. The manifestation of this energy will likely be in the form of some vision crystallizing, such as what approach/policy related to healthcare and/or job market would work the best. Whatever the issues, the situation will likely keep unfolding slowly and will proceed generally in the same direction as before – meaning, there will likely be no drastic changes or unexpected events. Instead, these issues will either be “on hold,” or, they will be [re-] evaluated/reviewed. This could be a good time for collecting information and making slow continuous progress in these domains; this month should generally favor entities/businesses involved in healthcare, insurance, drugs, medical care, etc.

Additionally, on September 22-23, solar arc Sun will square US Uranus (in the 7th house of relationships, rules 3rd house of communication/transportation). This could manifest as stress in international relationships/partnerships and/or some sudden events breaking out to relieve tensions. Affected areas will likely include IT, transportation (including airlines/aviation/space), communications, telecom, retail-sales, etc. For example, there could be stressful news related to an IT company [Microsoft?] or travel disruptions (esp. related to air travel). Because of the recent news about Syria and Uranus ruling airspace, this could also be related to potential airstrikes (let’s hope it won’t come to that).
————-

September 3 (Tue): Medium influence; market may possibly go down (55-60%). Aspects to the US chart indicate potential news/talks about international relationships in connection to some domestic issue, such as homeland security.

September 3-6 – the buildup of tense energy (to culminate over the weekend), related to some sort of a stalemate, such as leader(s)’s action(s) being blocked by some limiting forces/entities (e.g., old rules, conservative individuals, [old/secretive] authority figures, etc.)

September 4 (Wed): Medium influence; market may possibly go down (55-60%).

USA: September 4-5 – there could be some news about banks overspending, growing too fast, and/or hype about how well banks are doing. Additionally, we may hear about a push to spend money to improve international relationships and/or fix international debt issues. These news/talks will likely be related to the US image, such as whether too much international debt devalues partners’ view of the US as a global power.

September 5 (Th): Strong influence; market may possibly go down (55-60%), although there could be some slight optimism and related upward move early morning.

September 6 (Fr): Medium-mixed influence; market may possibly go down (60-65%). There could be strong tensions related to blocked actions of some leader(s), but also some hopeful feeling/enthusiasm, potentially related to land, real estate, farms, food supply, homeland security, bank savings/stability, etc. This will likely be a very busy news day, especially during pre-market hours, with the focus on labor market and/or healthcare.

September 7-8 (Sat-Sun): Likely a tense weekend, with tensions related to the blocked action issue that will have been unfolding during the work week – the issue may come to a head and some parties may demand that it be resolved. The affected areas will likely include IT, telecom, electronics, airlines, etc. There could be some unexpected/surprise actions, such as leaders abruptly beginning/ending something.

USA: Several transits to the US chart on September 7-9 taken together indicate a possibility of some talks/news about “hidden enemies,” vague/secret/elusive enemies and/or threats. (Alternatively, the concerns may be related to healthcare.) Overall, these aspects do not favor a nice/pleasant approach to dealing with the issue. At the same time, the time is favorable for taking assertive (not necessarily aggressive) actions allowing the US to maintain good partnership relationships with other countries, while following its vision/maintaining good image. The day is also favorable for smooth unobstructed energy flow in the areas related to IT, electronics, retail sales, transportation (including airlines), etc. – actions taken to improve these areas should go as planned.

September 9 (Mon): Strong influence; market may possibly go down (60-65%). There could be tensions in the pre-open hours or early morning. The focus in the news will probably be on the stalemate situation, where old restrictive structures are trying to deny/limit leader(s)’ action(s). [The resolution of the stalemate situation may well come over the weekend; however, it may still affect the market on Monday, especially in the early morning.]

September 10 (Tue): Weak-mixed influence; market may possibly go down (55%); the influence is stronger for the US than internationally. My original prediction was up; however, transits to the US chart indicate a possibility of some disruptive news about the workforce, healthcare, and/or overall societal well-being. Thus, I changed the prediction to down.

September 11 (Wed): Medium influence; market may possibly go up (55%).

USA: September 11-12 – there will likely be an abundance of news in general and especially related to international relationships/partnerships. The news will likely be optimistic, such as that the US standing in the world and/or its vision/identity are strong and continue to expand. This would likely have a positive effect on the market.

September 12 (Th): Medium influence; market may possibly go down (55-60%).

September 13 (Fr): Medium-strong influence; market may possibly go down (60%); the influence is stronger internationally than for the US. There may be some positive news out of the US related to the labor market, but I don’t think this by itself will drive the market up.

September 13-14 – Good time for assertive actions related to making changes/improvements in domains related to IT, electronics, airlines, and/or space. There is also a possibility that military-related discussions will resume, and, this time favors the discussions going smoothly/gaining track. If there is any ongoing discussion about airstrikes, this course of action may be perceived more favorably today and/or these talks would proceed smoothly without stress/opposition. Hence, this could bring the market down.

September 13-19 – Some tensions may begin building up [again], to culminate around the 19th. The focus of the tensions may be on the restrictive/limiting influence of some old rules and/or authority figures, including some information coming from the secret/hidden sources and/or mining industry. It may also be related to a sober look at the situation with bank loan policies or taxes; there will likely be concerns about the lack of money and/or reduced profits or problems with the loans/debt.

September 16 (Mon): Medium-strong influence; market may possibly go down (65-65%). Likely a super busy news day, with rapid sequence of news coming out, especially pre-market and in the early morning. The news may possibly be related to sudden actions/decisions by the leaders, such as abrupt endings/beginnings of some actions. The actions will likely be in the area of IT industry, electronics, telecom, airlines, space, etc.

USA: September 16-17 – not the best days for meetings/conferences/public announcements – these may have good intentions behind them, but may not go completely as planned (e.g., an agreement may not be reached or an announcement may not be received favorably). There is also an increased likelihood of international news/talks and/or miscommunication/tension during these talks potentially resulting in a disagreement.

September 17 (Tue): Strong influence; market may possibly go down (65-70%); this influence is stronger internationally than for the US.

September 17-18 – likely, concerns about the lack of money and/or some restrictions around loans/debt/taxes. There could also be concerns about the value of the commodities that come from the mines (metals/rocks) and/or mining industry in general.

USA: The US will likely be prominently featured in the news and receive a lot of attention, especially for its leadership and power. This is a positive energy (shining in the limelight kind of a moment); however, I don’t think it will be strong enough to bring the market up. Additionally, there could be news about financial system and the banks – some data may be released or agreements signed; this is not a good or bad influence per se, rather, some practical matters will likely be in focus.

September 18 (Wed): Medium-strong influence; market may possibly go down (55-60%).

September 19 (Th): Medium influence; market may possibly go up (60%). Probably happier mood/better news compared to the 17th-18th. At least, I expect an abundance of news/ communication, likely related to partnership agreements and domestic security.

USA: Favorable day for improving relationships with any sort of “hidden enemies lurking in the dark” or reducing worries about healthcare. The day is also favorable for taking actions with respect to financial system and/or banks – these actions should go smoothly, with minimal to no resistance; good day for taking a conservative approach to investment.

September 20 (Fr): Medium influence; market may possibly go up (55-60%). There could be some surprising/unexpected/unsettling news early am about things related to IT, electronics, telecom, planes, etc.; however, the mood overall should improve over the course of the day.

USA: Mostly a positive day, the with the sense of international relationships improving, public feeling more at ease, and/or leadership trying to use a more peaceful approach to resolving international situations (especially over the weekend). Good day for successful military talks, improving relationships and/or reaching agreements about which [military] actions to take.

September 23 (Mon): Weak-medium influence; market may possibly go down (55-60%); this influence is stronger for the US than internationally. My original prediction was UP, but I changed it to DOWN because of the potentially stressful news in the US.

USA: September 22-23 – possible stress around international relationships/partnerships and, potentially, some unexpected events that break the tensions. Affected areas will likely be IT industry, transportation (including air travel), communications, retail sales, telecom, etc. For example, there could be a disruption in communications or news may come out that some airlines/ IT companies/etc. aren’t doing so well.

September 24 (Tue): Weak-medium influence; market may possibly go up (55- 60%); this influence is stronger internationally than for the US.

USA: Increased likelihood of some talks about or with other international partners, with focus on the US status in the world and how it is perceived internationally. The talks may be somewhat tense, although some resolution may be reached (and will release the tension).

September 25 (Wed): Weak-medium influence; market may possibly go up (55-60%).

USA: There could be some news, likely positive, about the labor market, healthcare and/or social improvement programs. Additionally, there may be some good news about retail sales and or loans/debt/taxes.

September 26 (Th): Weak-medium influence; market may possibly go down (55%). The influence is strongest in the afternoon. The market may possibly go up in the morning and then change direction midday.

USA: An elusive/”hidden” enemy or threat and/or healthcare issues may be in the news. There could be some increased and possibly tense talks, but the parties will probably arrive at an agreement, as some sort of a resolution will be necessary to release the tension.

September 27 (Fr): Medium influence; market may possibly go down (55-60%); this influence is stronger internationally than for the US.

USA: This may be a relatively positive/optimistic day for the US, especially for its image, vision, and/or how it views itself.

September 30 (Mon): Weak-medium influence; market may possibly go down (55%).

USA: For the US, the influence is somewhat more positive than globally and favors an UP move a bit more. At least, there may be good news in the areas related to healthcare/medications/health insurance/labor market. These topics will likely be prominently featured in the news today (and probably during the whole last week of the month).
————————

Glimpse at the early October: October 1-3 look tense, especially 1-2 – the market will likely go down then.

Stock market predictions August 06-31, 2013: Financial Astrology

Here are some astro-financial predictions for August 2013. Since transits to the USA natal chart appear to strongly correlate with market moves, a few related observations are included as well, mainly to note whether transits to the US chart support the market direction I would predict based on the general planetary positions alone. Beginning in May, I have also started incorporating heliocentric transits into the analytical process. 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.]
————-

AUGUST: There will likely be a strong[er] focus on and increased news about real estate, housing, bank loans for mortgages, farming, food supply, and domestic security. These issues may come up in the context of governmental regulations necessary to improve these areas. For example, there may be a push for a better governmental regulation of how banks issue loans, or, removing unnecessary controls by the government and/or large corporations that may be holding back housing market from expanding. This influence is the strongest on August 5-7.

August 22-28 also look noteworthy – these will likely be very important, with the possibility of the market reaching a major HIGH /LOW point around 26th – 27th. My prediction is that it will most likely be a crest/MAX – mostly because transiting Jupiter will conjunct US Sun at that time. Regardless of the direction, the buildup of the energy on those dates will likely be significant, with increased news, reports, and events, both economically and politically.

USA-specific: On August 5-7, transiting Jupiter will exactly oppose transiting Pluto. Considering how close this opposition is to the Sun’s position in the US chart (only 4°), this transit will likely have a fairly significant impact on the US. In the US chart, Sun rules the 9th house of international affairs and is positioned in the 8th house, associated with, among other things, hidden influences, indirect [yet very strong] control, and secrecy. Symbolically, 8th house is ruled by Pluto, which is associated with things like nuclear power, mass control, death, transformation, Secret Service, mines, secret affairs, and terrorism. It is interesting, therefore, that there had been some recent security alerts for the US embassies, connected to concerns about potential terrorist attacks.

In addition to the Jupiter-Pluto opposition, transiting Uranus retrograde will be squaring US Sun within 1° through about August 9. This influence will likely intensify any tensions around international relationships for the US. Another way in which this influence may manifest is inability to reach consensus or unexpectedly running into roadblocks while trying to pass some laws.

August 6 (Tue): Medium-strong influence; market may possibly go down (55-60%). Aspects to the US chart are a bit more supportive of a down move, with a possibility of stressful or unpleasant news related to healthcare, end-of-life care, drugs, hospitals, prisons, and/or any hidden issues, such as lies or secrets. The down influence is a bit stronger for the US than internationally.

August 7 (Wed): Strong influence, especially in the morning; market may possibly go up (55-60%). The news may focus on banks, real estate, governmental regulation of the banks, loans, mortgages, savings, etc.

August 8 (Th): Weak-medium influence; market may possibly go down (55-60%). The influence is strongest early am/at open. There will likely be a change in direction from the 7th, or, at the very least, a change in the focus and/or tone of the news (e.g., the focus may shift from banks, their savings, etc. to leadership and authority figures, including celebrities).

USA: Aug 8 – possibly increased news about some celebrities or news related to entertainment industry, and/or, news about international relationships/partnerships with other countries (a minor conflict or misunderstanding is possible).

Aug 8-9 – a potential for some unexpected news about banks/financial system and/or IRS (this could involve investments, metals, mining industry, and/or taxes). Other possible manifestations include increased international activities, changes in relationships with other countries, and/or news about any hidden activities (including surveillance). There may also be some surprises involving leaders (of the government or large corporations), unexpected actions by those leaders, and/or military activities.

August 9 (Fr): Weak-medium influence; market may possibly go up (55-60%). Entertainment industry and/or important celebrity figure may also be in focus today. Aspects to the US chart are a bit mixed.

USA: There may be some positive news about improvements in the real estate/housing market. Another possible manifestation is alleviation of any potential concerns about domestic security, food supplies, and/or drugs. This is a good day for entities and industries involved in healthcare, end-of-life care, health insurance, pharmaceuticals, etc.

August 12 (Mon): Weak influence; market may possibly go up (60%). Transits to the US chart are also supportive of an UP move. There may be some stressful news about banks, loans, etc. over the weekend; however, any concerns over these should dissipate by Monday open. There is a chance of a down move late pm as well, likely because of concerns about banks, loans, bank regulations, etc.

USA: In contrast to the global prediction, August 12-13 look more down for the US. This is because transiting Saturn trine US Jupiter will likely bringing more sober/practical mood to the US market. We may see some rules/regulations/limitations/structures being put in place to improve country’s image or align its actions with some ideal vision. While this is a good time for making such improvements, these events may involve some scaling back and/or may be perceived as limiting the pace of expansion in some way; therefore, they may dampen the market mood somewhat.

August 13 (Tue): Mixed-strong influence; market may possibly go down (55%). Early am/at open, there may be some slightly stressful news about banks, loans, mining stocks, and/or metals [especially steel].

August 14 (Wed): Medium influence; market may possibly go up (55%). There may be some increased news about IT industry, media, retail sales, transportation, etc. This news may possibly involve IT leadership – for example, there may be some important news/announcement coming out of some conference.

USA: Could be a good/profitable day for entities and industries associated with healthcare, end-of-life care, health insurance, pharmaceuticals, etc. For example, we can hear about these areas receiving more funding, people receiving better care, and/or other social improvements.

August 15 (Th): Weak-medium influence; market may possibly go up (55%).

USA: For the US, down influence is somewhat stronger today; it may potentially be related to concerns over [military] actions required to restore [domestic/food/housing/etc.] stability and/or security. I kept the overall UP prediction, because I expect that domestic concerns within the US will remain confined to the political arena and will not affect the stock market.

August 16 (Fr): Weak-medium influence; market may possibly go up (55-60%). There may be some positive/optimistic news coming out today from some meeting/conference – this news will likely be related to the banks, savings, mortgages, housing, farms, food supply, and/or homeland security. Leaders/famous people will likely be perceived positively today; any public announcements made by these leaders early morning will likely be met with public approval.

August 19 (Mon): Medium influence; market may possibly go down (55%). The influence is strongest early am; market may actually go up in the afternoon.

August 19-20: These will likely be very busy days, with lots of news coming out, esp. regarding leadership, such as leaders in the IT industry, or, leaders in general making some innovative decisions. The decisions may involve some new approach to regulating banks/mortgages/loans to ensure housing market improves, and banks can save more money and/or become more stable.

USA: There may be some news pre-open related to overspending (likely on social improvements), and/or, there could be slightly disappointing news about the job market situation (e.g., something was overestimated).

There may also be news about some hidden issues (e.g., spying, lying, secrets, etc.), mining industry, as well as loans and taxes –this news should not be overly stressful, rather, it will more likely be some short-lived disappointment. For example, there may be concerns that not enough is being done to improve things/make something happen. Alternatively, some opposing issue that is preventing improvement in those areas may be highlighted or become a more obvious, or, public’s attention will be drawn to the decision to fix some problem in one of these areas (e.g., loans/mortgages).

August 20 (Tue): Mixed-strong influence; market may possibly go up (60-65%). Likely, lots of excitement in the air today. The excitement may, in part, be related to the buzz over [new] electronic devices. Transits to the US chart are also supportive of an UP move.

August 21 (Wed): Mixed-strong influence; market may possibly go down (60-65%). The influence is strongest early am/at open. In the morning, there could be some negative news or worries related to healthcare, drugs, food supply contamination, secrets, lies, deception, etc. These worries will likely dissipate by the afternoon, and the market may recover.

IT-related industries and any innovations will likely be in the news today. The news may be related to some expansion in this area or there may be some unexpected announcements/events. Additionally, there could be news about [military] leaders, or, news about leaders making some unexpected/sudden/decisive and [potentially aggressive] moves.

USA: The influence is mixed today. On the one hand, there could be positive news regarding US image as a country, expansion of its economy, and/or its status in the world. On the other hand, there could be some negative/stressful news regarding loans, mortgages, taxes, etc. I expect the latter to contribute to the overall down move today. Alternatively, the news in itself may not be negative; rather, there will be an abundance of news regarding loans, taxes and related topics. In this case, we may actually see an UP move.

August 22 (Th): Weak-medium influence; market may possibly go up (55%).

August 22-23: Increased possibility of accidents, violent or military activity, disorderly behavior, opposition to some perceived oppression, demands to bring in the open/expose some hidden controls, etc.

August 22-28: Likely very important dates, with the possibility of the market reaching a major HIGH /LOW point. My prediction is that it will most likely be a crest/MAX, and that it will occur on 26th – 27th. Regardless of the direction, the buildup of the energy should be significant.

August 23 (Fr): Mixed influence; market will probably go down (60%). The news today will likely focus on the workforce and healthcare-related topics. Additionally, there could be some tensions around relationships and partnerships among different countries and/or large corporate entities. For example, some partnerships may not be working out or falling apart. Governments/large corporations may try to exert control over financial agreements of entities that are in some sort of a partnership – e.g., to control how this partnership functions, how agreements are signed, who can enter into these agreements, etc.

USA: The influence is mixed today. On the one hand, there could be positive news regarding retail sales, transportation, communications, etc. On the other hand, there may be negative/stressful news regarding healthcare and elderly care; as well as secrets, lies, hidden agendas (esp. wrt financial system regulation), etc.

August 26 (Mon): Very strong mixed influence; important busy day; market may possibly go up (60-65%). The UP influence is much stronger for the US than globally.

There will likely be a continuation of the discussions about some entities (companies, countries, leaders, etc.) deciding how to proceed with their partnership agreements. Some entities may want to remain partners, while others may feel like [suddenly/unexpectedly] breaking out of those arrangements; or, some entities will be insisting on a diplomatic resolution of some issue, while others will be in favor of some more radical [possibly military] solution. Additionally, there could be some negative news about healthcare, drugs/pharmaceuticals, water contamination, floods, etc.

USA: On August 26-27, there will probably be some positive news regarding housing, real estate, food supply, farming, etc. Further, there could be news about increased income from taxation and/or investments. Lastly, there could be some positive news, or, just increased news regarding international policies/relationships, and news about passing laws or regulations (e.g., related to security, surveillance, etc.).

August 27 (Tue): Strong influence; market may possibly go up (60-65%). The UP influence is stronger for the US than globally. Today will likely be a day when some entities may go over the top, overspend, and over-expand themselves. The overall mood should be fairly optimistic and generous (i.e., investors may feel like parting with their money, because they will feel happy and positive about the future).
Topics like real estate, housing, bank savings, etc. will likely be featured prominently in the news. Additionally, there will be continued discussions regarding partnerships among various entities, such as governments and corporations. Partnership discussions could also be related to laws or regulations concerning marriage, especially as it relates to taxes.

USA: Mostly a positive news day, esp. for housing and real estate market, as well as savings/capital of the banks and/or of the US itself. However, there is a slight possibility of some negative/stressful news related to transportation/communication/retail sales; this could also manifest as some unexpected travel disruptions.

August 28 (Wed): Weak-medium influence; market may possibly go up (55%). The up influence is not very strong, however. In the early morning/at open, there could be some news regarding workforce and/or healthcare, medications, etc. – this news could be positive and associated with some governmental regulations. For example, it may be about government’s actions helping to increase the number of jobs or improving healthcare. There is also a chance of upsetting news about retail sales, communication, transportation, etc. (late morning).

USA: There could be an important [likely positive] announcement related to banks and/or financial system, such as about increased availability of cash, profits, etc.

August 29 (Th): Weak influence; market may possibly go down (55%). The influence is not very strong, however. Today’s focus will likely be on relatively pragmatic matters (e.g., looking closer at the details of how government regulates healthcare, investments, financial system, loans, mortgages, etc.), which tends to bring markets down.

August 30 (Fr): Medium influence; market may possibly go down (55-60%). Likely, the focus of the news today will be on similar matters as on the 29th (i.e., governmental regulations related to healthcare, workforce, and investment practices [Pension funds? Taxes needed to pay for healthcare?]). While today is a good day for tackling these types of issues, they may not be exciting enough or even raise concerns that may discourage investors; hence, the market will likely go down.

USA: Mixed influence; slight possibility of some brief negative news regarding relationships with other countries, including a sudden/unexpected change in the partnership status.
