The following promotional post was published in November 2016 as was the WordPress blog referred to in this post. In two sections in the original 2016 promotional post, I refer to a “shock” that was expected:  “Under the influence of an Aquarius quasi-micro-age decan (Jun 2017 – June 2022), …., the world may succumb to a low level depressed economic period that experiences a number of shocks, or at least one large unexpected shock.” and “The only thing sitting between the Pisces bubble and dour Capricorn is the powerful Aquarius nano-age combined with the end of the more powerful Aquar ..read more

A notable aspect of the COVID-10 pandemic to date is that despite the doomsday news of mass unemployment, massive bailouts and falling stock markets is that this stark financial reality is still taking second place to the health aspect of the pandemic.  Is a shift in emphasis between these two parts of the pandemic in the pipeline?   The astrology supports this gradual five month shift from the health aspect to economic consequences because in May 2020, Taurus has arrived as a new contender in the fray. Note: this astrological economic analysis is based mainly on macro-astrology ..read more

Many pundits are claiming that the economic hiatus created by governments’ responses to the coronavirus pandemic will rival that of the Great Depression that was so destructive to the world economy in the 1930s.  Either the astrology disagrees, or the sub-periods of the astrological ages are becoming more powerful, so that smaller periods can create greater impact compared with say a century ago. The current astrological environment of the world does mimic that of the Great Depression, but at a significantly lower echelon.  The astrological drivers of the Great Depression are describ ..read more

Or….A Funny Thing Happened with the Pisces Full Moon The September 2019 Pisces full moon (exact 4:34am 14 September 2019 GMT) may have allied itself to a specific Pisces period deep within the Age of Aquarius?  The Pisces period in question is the Pisces sting-in-the-tail of the Pisces nano-age and overflow (Jun 2017 – Sep 2018 – Dec 2019) with the sting-in-the-tail located from September to December 2019.  This nano-age is one of 12 nano-ages belonging to the Gemini micro-age (Dec 2014 – Nov 2029) – the forth micro-age of the Libra sub-age (1970 – 2148) – the forth sub-age within th ..read more

Is the Dow Jones affected by the full moon?  I keep getting anecdotal evidence that this is the case.  However, first I must redefine the full moon.  Astrologically, the full moon is not limited to the exact moment the Moon and Sun are directly opposite, nor the zodiacal sign of the full moon which lasts only 2 ½ days.  The full moon is in play for two weeks representing the one week leading to the full moon, and the following week.  During this two week period, the Moon is more than 50% illuminated as viewed from Earth, and during this time, the sign of the full moon ..read more

The current ‘meltdown’ of stock markets is a preview for the next nano-age.  The world has just entered an Aquarius nano-age (Sep 2018 – Dec 2019), and this Aquarius nano-age will be followed by a Capricorn nano-age (Dec 2019 – Mar 2021).  Capricorn rarely brings good news to the economy or stock markets as it is known as a dour and depressed sign that brings problems. There is a strange quirk in macro-astrology due to the system employed for determining sub-periods of the ages based on dwadasamsa (dwads) whereby, each new period begins with a sub-period, that is the same as the foll ..read more

Courtesy of Shutterstock In my previous post Volatility Plus, published 8 April 2018, I stated: …. Cancer is in the vicinity from Nov 2017 to Sep 2018 – but its strongest period is the middle 50% – the Cancer quasi nano-age decan (Feb 18 – Jul 18).” “It can be expected that the volatility will extend to July at least (the end of the Cancer quasi-nano age)…. The following graph of the DJIA for 2018 to date depicts the market volatility subduing the markets to July, whereupon, it has broken these shackles and moved back into a serious bull market. Dow Jones year-to-date Where to from here ..read more

“The CBOE index, known as the VIX, is up 72 per cent since the start of the year” (2018) “The new safe haven is now volatility” said Christopher Stanton of Sunrise Capital (California) [Reference: “Stock Volatility the new norm” AFP, by Asjylyn Loder, Ira Losebashvili & Junjan Banerji How long will this volatility last, and where is it going?  From the astrological perspective it is very clear.  Volatility is ruled by Cancer, as are China and protectionism (and therefore associated with tariffs).  It is the new trade war against China unleashed by Donald Trump that has lin ..read more

There is a good case astrologically for betting that Bitcoin and pseudo-currencies are in a trough with nowhere to go but up – relatively soon.  Bitcoin peaked mid-December 2017 – just while the world was passing through the Scorpio nano-age decan and overflow (Jun 17 – Nov 17 – Apr 18) with the most potent stage covering the period November 2017 to February 2018.  Another month or so should see the end of the bear market in pseudo-currencies as Scorpio comes off the boil. One contributing reason pseudo-currencies have floundered is due to Scorpio.  Scorpio will always oppose T ..read more

June 2017 is a month of demarcation in the international political and economic sphere.  In June 2017, the 5 year Cancer quasi micro-age decan (Jul 2012 – Jun 2017) comes to an end.  (For those not familiar with the astrological periods used in macro-astrology, see Age of Aquarius for Dummies). This Cancer period is notable as the post-Global Recession recovery period.  While Cancer is a volatile sign by nature, it is also opposite the dour sign of Capricorn, where Cancer’s positive potential for the international economic situation has been able to manifest.  This can be r ..read more
