Jupiter conjoins Uranus April 20, 2024 at 10:27 PM Eastern Time calculated with LUNA Astrology This is an important post for all investors and traders experiencing a market pull back. All times specified are Eastern Time.
Aside from the tax deadline of April 15, this week holds some promise for bullish days and positive market momentum. There’s an applying sextile from action and war planet Mars to wealth god Jupiter and surprise god Uranus. We sense something huge is brewing and getting ready to ignite like fireworks. My concern for troubled markets is that as of April 12, Mars is now within a 30° orbit of the North Node, which is also stationed at 15° Aries. Bear market waves often begin to unfold during an “aversion” phase or when the True Nodes remain stuck at the same degree for an extended period. On Monday planet of trade Mercury (still currently retrograde) conjoins Chiron in Aries. An out-of-bounds Moon in its home base of Cancer makes a 90° square alignment to the Sun in Aries exact at 3:13 PM. These combos suggest stressful and bearish trading for investors and day traders. Inflation and/or war concerns plus accountability are major themes. Tuesday and Wednesday the Moon is in Leo during U.S. market open hours. These 2 days appear more bullish than bearish. Leo as a fire sign tends to be hot and optimistic, translating over to human emotions. Additionally on Wednesday, money planet Venus links to the North Node in Aries which typically adds a lift to indexes and stocks. However, there are no guarantees markets will continue any potential rally by late Wednesday afternoon since the Moon will square both Jupiter and Uranus shortly after markets close. This tends to be more extreme especially for tech, banking and travel stocks. Since Uranus is the planet of unexpected events, it’s impossible to predict with any certainty which direction markets will go. Thursday holds better odds for markets to rise when retrograde Mercury nears a conjunction with Venus in Aries. There are no significant exact planetary alignments this day, inferring smoother sailing for bulls to run. The Moon in Virgo on Thursday, Friday and most of Saturday casts a critical, analytical eye. We’re fully focused on details. Friday morning, we may feel a shift of motion as the Sun leaves fiery Aries and enters fixed and sometimes stubborn Taurus at 10:10 AM. Possessions, investments, financial matters and relationships take center stage. Tangible goods like art, antiques, fashion, and decorative design seem like enjoyable escapes and possibly beneficial alternative investments until May 20. Friday is also when Mars makes an exact 60° sextile pattern to Jupiter and Uranus. Mars as the warrior planet infers a potential trigger for war that was already influencing fears for investors and markets last week. A Virgo Moon opposite Saturn in Pisces implies bearish sentiment as a probable “Debbie Downer” by late Friday afternoon. Additionally, Mars conjoins the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) natal Midheaven on Friday. This also symbolizes something eventful for the U.S. markets can be activated. In mundane astrology, Mars is considered malefic (aka malicious) so in general is not a bullish transit. Saturday is THE BIG DAY for the next Bitcoin halving. Coincidentally (or not?) Jupiter conjoins Uranus at 21° Taurus starting a fresh 14-year cycle. Many astrologers consider this planetary transit the most impactful alignment in 2024. It signifies an unexpected event or disruption (Uranus) of wealth expansion (Jupiter). The last time these 2 planets linked together in Taurus was May 1941. Past cycles frequently rhyme with current ones so consider history. The Jupiter-Uranus conjunction can be much better for your personal horoscope. You natal chart will show what areas of life will come alive. If you’re not sure where this is happening or what it represents, check with your favorite astrologer for a consultation to see how to make the most of this dynamic energy. Also on Saturday, lesson planet Saturn moves within 30° of the North Node. Again, that’s considered an aversion and could create an added drag on U.S. indices for a while. If you’ve purchased and read my H1 2024 Forecast Report, you should already know what comes next. Sunday April 21 is intense and appears pivotal. Venus conjoins Chiron (money/partnership wounds), the Sun squares Pluto (authoritative power challenges), and asteroid Juno (money and partners) turns direct to move forward. Perhaps even more importantly on Sunday, Jupiter and Uranus reach 22° Taurus in the Western Tropical Zodiac. I’ve written and talked about this degree before, known as Charubel’s “Degree of Collapse.” We saw a significant bear market wave when the North Node stationed on this degree in 2022, and then in 2023 when Uranus first approached this position. As always, plan for the worst and hope for the best. Use wise strategies to protect your assets if/when markets turn south. p.s.

The Solar Eclipse on April 8, 2024 at 2:11 PM Eastern Time calculated with LUNA Astrology U.S. Stock Market and Mundane Forecast April 8 – 14, 2024
Read my p.s. below for a synopsis of stock market action from last week. The Solar Eclipse in Aries on Monday is an amplified New Moon. This time around the Sun and Moon energies of our life force and emotions conjoin with Centaur Chiron known for wounds, healing and assessment. This impact of Sun-Moon-Chiron all together during an eclipse at precisely the same degree and minute is extremely rare! I’m certain it’s symbolic. Please note Chiron is often involved with planetary triggers of bear markets. Think of this eclipse as a fresh new beginning. Look to where this solar eclipse takes place in both your natal and solar charts to know what areas of life the greatest imprint will be for you personally. Since Aries collectively is our action and warrior planet, we can expect there will be at least one major mundane world event reflecting irritation, aggression or at the very least assertion. Aries isn’t a peaceful type of dynamism. On Wednesday, planetary ruler of Aries Mars connects to Saturn, our stern disciplinarian. This conjunction is most often felt as frustration since Mars is impetuous and wants to move but the outer planet Saturn restricts our movement. Wednesday’s Moon in Taurus will conjoin Jupiter and Uranus – this suggests a potential for heightened stock market volatility midweek. If you feel blocked, either work through it. Mini-breaks with music, meditation, or massage may help. This is probably one of the roughest weeks in 2024 for heavenly energies. Take a breather and lay low as best you can. Especially with Mercury retrograde, it’s a really good time for reviewing all plans before setting them in motion. We’re also under a Moon (aka Lunar) Wobble with the Nodes stationing at 15° Aries in the Tropical zodiac. Confusion and calamity are associated with Moon Wobbles along with bear market waves. There could be important news announced on Thursday when the Sun and Mercury link together. Watch out for anger either internally or externally. Sometimes the bravest (and wisest) thing to do is bite your tongue and remain silent. Here’s a reminder of how to handle seasonal retrograde phases: https://www.trudycarol.com/forecasts-blog/how-to-make-the-most-of-planetary-retrogrades-in-astrology Remember: eclipse energies can last 6 months or longer. Cautious and well-organized planning for the next 6 months is the best way to manage this week’s tense energy. Stay safe and drive carefully! p.s. From my Facebook post regarding last week’s U.S. stock market surprise: Markets were humming along and up nicely on Thursday, April 4 with the Sun conjunct the North Node in Aries. Aries is impetuous and ruled by warrior planet Mars. At about 2 PM The Washington Post announced "Biden told Netanyahu the situation in Gaza is ‘unacceptable’". Then there was a media frenzy over geopolitical fears, perhaps spurred on by Mercury retrograde, and the indices then quickly declined as fearful investors rushed into defense stocks. I expected some market volatility. The Moon in Aquarius was square Jupiter earlier Thursday, then exactly square to unpredictable, erratic Uranus at 4:24 PM Eastern time near the 4 PM market close. That amplifies a strong emotional potential for the unexpected. Within 10 hours of Thursday's close, "money planet" Venus entered Aries at 12:00 AM Friday. I've often stated, "people are the variable." It only takes one prominent leader to wreak havoc with market momentum. We're coming up on an exact Mars-Saturn conjunction pairing April 10, where actions meet limitations. This combo has about a 5-day window of influence before and after. Therefore, markets may not improve much before or after the April 8 solar eclipse. In my H1 2024 Forecast Report I stated Defense was a wise sector to be in now. Unfortunately, this proved to be accurate. p.s.s. Do you like the above beautifully design-driven and reasonably priced LUNA Astrology software?

Mercury Retrograde Starts April 1, 2024 at 6:14 PM Eastern Time calculated with LUNA Astrology If you’ve noticed communications and mental work turning funky lately, you can thank being in eclipse season and Mercury stationing to turn retrograde. Here’s my prior post on how to handle seasonal retrograde phases:
https://www.trudycarol.com/forecasts-blog/how-to-make-the-most-of-planetary-retrogrades-in-astrology Monday and Tuesday this week could be stressful with the above vibrational switch plus an out-of-bounds Moon in Capricorn at a tense square angle to the Nodes, our collective consciousness seeking forward momentum. While Mercury is retrograde count on tricky-to-navigate financial markets. Mercury retrograde often seems more like unpredictable Uranus. Mercury rules the mind, commercial transactions and trading, so expect lively changes and exchanges in these areas. Consider a personal consultation with me to see what areas of life will be most influenced by this Mercury retrograde. My favorite alignment of the week happens when Venus hooks up with Neptune in the latter’s home sign Pisces. This is great for dreaming big about both money and love. It’s also a perfect time for practicing yoga or meditation. However, watch out for the shadow side which could bring foggy thinking or deception. Remaining realistic might be difficult especially since Mercury will be retrograde too. The hopeful energy of Venus-Neptune in conjunction combined with the Sun in Aries conjoining the North Node exact on Thursday implies a new market top is likely this week. Additional planetary pattern indicators suggest upward bullish momentum may continue for roughly another 2 weeks, although not necessarily in a straight line. The Moon in Aquarius Wednesday and Thursday infers special attention will be paid to Technology, Bitcoin and Automotive sectors or stocks. The Moon is under some stressful aspects so plan on greater market volatility these days. Venus enters Aries at 12:00 AM Eastern Time Friday and then aligns in a 60° sextile with Pluto on Saturday. Fiery passions for money, love, beauty, fashion and the arts are ignited shortly before the Solar Eclipse next week on April 8. I'll write more about the solar eclipse next week. Until then, enjoy bliss wherever you can find it! p.s. Do you like the above beautifully design-driven and reasonably priced LUNA Astrology software?
