The Northern Hemisphere Spring Equinox on March 20 reinforces the March 21 New Moon energy as both are on a world axis degree at 0° Aries. This means impactful events are brewing. As of late with FTX and then Silicon Valley Bank (SVB) collapsing that’s quite an understatement.
 
Is it coincidence, synchronicity, or esoteric karma that the next FOMC meeting is on the very same day as the new moon? Fire sign and cardinal creator Aries implies a tone of independent warrior spirit. The Fed is bound to initiate something impressive.
 
The Aries New Moon chart above shows Mars next to asteroid Chaos in the Washington, DC 12th house section. This suggests how actions taken for or in the USA could be rather chaotic. The dualistic sign of Gemini can also infer trickery. Mars as the guardian warrior planet of Aries doubles the impetuous energy while conjoining asteroid Chaos.
 
Everyone, please watch your temper!
 
For this new moon 10th house area, both Venus (money) and asteroid Juno (partners) play a leading role in the upcoming lunar cycle. I think the Fed will continue to assist the banking sector since rapidly raising interest rates backfired and reduced liquidity to the point of chaos as we just saw with a depositor run at Silicon Valley Bank.
 
March 22: Chairman Powell will announce whether interest rates will rise yet again or pause. Expect emotions to be markedly fueled as the Moon (emotions, people) conjoins Chiron (healing, wounds) and then Jupiter (expansion, wealth).
 
March 23: the most crucial astrological event in 2023 happens: Pluto enters Aquarius! There’s no doubt this ties into the sudden upsets we’ve recently seen, whether with power players or society. Pluto remains at 0° Aquarius until June 11 when it retrogrades back into Capricorn for one final hurrah of this 248-year cycle.
 
We’re entering a very critical and challenging phase for all societies: economically, emotionally, spiritually and scientifically. The last time we had Pluto in Aquarius was 1777 – 1799. Those 20 years coincided near America’s revolutionary birth and the French Revolution. History repeated in perfect rhyme last week with riots in Paris, France.
 
If you’re risk averse, you’ll want to be well protected, especially at the start of Pluto’s Aquarius ingress.
 
March 24: the Moon conjoins Venus and then Uranus in Taurus. Financial matters are accented along with potential surprises for banking, currencies and cryptos. Emotional eruptions about money and relationships are all too likely.
 
March 25: Mars finally leaves Gemini for Cancer, emphasizing renewed interest in security, home, family and real estate. These matters dominate until May 20 when Mars exits Cancer.
 
March 27: is more favorable for markets and all commercial enterprises as Mercury is meeting Jupiter, however the Moon in Gemini may be fickle. By the next day on March 28, the Moon and Mars conjoin in Cancer inferring escalating or angry emotions. Markets up Monday can quickly recede on Tuesday.
 
March 28: check out the night sky to the west to see Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, plus Uranus if you have a telescope or very strong binoculars. Venus is easiest to see right after sunset. Mars is reddish towards the southwest. You’ll need an unobstructed view for Mercury and Jupiter near the horizon. Stargazing is fun! Use a mobile app to confirm what you’re viewing.
 
March 30: is another pivotal day to watch during this waxing Moon phase. Mars (war) in Cancer will trine Saturn (structures) in Pisces, both water signs. Also on this day, Venus (money) conjoins Uranus (shocks, tech). This suggests a volatile and upsetting time period, including one day prior before these pairings exactly align. [P.S. Addendum: on a mundane level, this is the day when past President Donald Trump was indicted, facing over 30 counts relating to business fraud.]
 
March 31: appears to be an easier day for everyone with the Moon in Leo trine Sun and Chiron in Aries. Fiery energy toward accomplishment could end the month and markets on a high note.
 
April 3: Mercury enters Taurus and then squares Pluto in Aquarius. I expect more instability and challenges in commerce and communications and/or with governments and markets.
 
I offer more detailed analysis in my 2023 Forecast Report which is included with one of my 2 top-tier consultations.
 
I’ll talk about additional short-term lunar cycles soon as we near the upcoming April 5th Full Moon in Libra.
 
ADDITIONAL CHARTS:
 
Investor focus now is on what the Fed and Chairman Powell will do next. Below is a “synastry” relationship analysis of the Federal Reserve Board birth chart with this new moon transit:
 
House area 10: Transiting Sun and New Moon link exactly to the Fed’s 0° Aries Midheaven arrow. This is quite remarkable astrologically coinciding with this Aries New Moon. It suggests a brand-new beginning for how the Fed will handle interest rates moving forward. The fact that 0° Aries is a world degree or point underpins how whatever the Fed does now will echo exponentially and globally. This combo infers the Fed might announce a temporary pause from raising interest rates.
 
House area 9: Transiting Neptune conjoins the Fed’s Juno. Confusion, disillusion and/or deception with partners are indicated. Why didn’t the Fed and U.S. government foresee the collapse of Silicon Valley Bank? Neptune-Juno also infers the Federal Reserve is wearing rose-colored glasses and hasn’t the foggiest idea about how to resolve inflation. Based solely on astrological cycles there’s little that can be done except try to ride out this economic storm.
 
House area 12: Transiting Mars with Chaos conjoin the Fed’s Pluto. Lurking in the hidden and secret 12th house, the Fed must now use its power to take assertive actions that might bring chaos. We’ll see the end results as Mars and Chaos precisely conjoin the Fed’s Pluto at 0° Cancer around March 24 to 26.

Below is a mundane “synastry” relationship analysis of the USA Sibly birth chart with this new moon transit:
 
House area 4: Transiting Jupiter conjoins USA Chiron April 4 to 7. I’m giving you a heads up since this exact meeting doesn’t occur until we’re almost at the next full moon. This suggests some good news that at least for now we’ve reached peak inflation in the U.S. in relation to Chiron’s cycle as an inflation indicator.
 
House area 7: Transiting Mars conjoins USA Venus March 31 to April 1. The end of this lunar cycle is amplified in an assertive or aggressive tone where money and partnership matters are concerned. It reminds me of the alien in the film, Independence Day who eerily conveyed, “Peace? No peace.” IMHO, the Fed should proactively expand liquidity and loan money to banks in need. At this point bank runs and financial collapse seem scarier than inflation.

Moving on to stock market indicators, here’s what stands out in the NYSE - New Moon synastry comparison:
 
House area 10: Transiting Sun and New Moon in Aries conjoins NYSE South Node (Desc. T.Node). This implies an overall bearish trend for U.S. markets during this cycle and certainly at least until the Sun reaches 3 – 4° Aries on March 23 – 24.
 
House area 11: Transiting Juno conjoins NYSE Venus. Again this speaks to the importance of partners and financials in money sign Taurus for long range investment goals. The banking sector will figure prominently.

Next for the DJIA - New Moon synastry chart:
 
House area 7 and Whole House area 8: Transiting Sun in the area of partners (7th) and finances or debt from others (8th) meets DJIA Mars near March 23rd. This coincides with Pluto entering Aquarius. The Sun shines a light and triggers Mars to initiate bold, courageous actions. The Dow Index will be infused with aggression and likely choppy trading.

For the S&P – New Moon synastry chart:
 
House area 10: Transiting Saturn conjoins S&P Venus on April 3rd. Saturn implies limitations and restrictions on Venus which rules money. Therefore, the overall trend for the S&P around that time is lower.
 
House area 11: Transiting Sun, Moon and Mercury all conjoin S&P asteroid Chaos at or near 4° Aries during this lunar phase. These movements also suggest a downward trend for the S&P as this cycle begins.

For the NASDAQ - New Moon synastry chart:
 
House area 1: Transiting Uranus connects with NASDAQ Saturn. Surprising price swings for this index are likely during this new moon cycle. There are potential bullish days depending on individual stocks or groups within the tech sector. Examples include Nvidia for chip makers, or Microsoft for artificial intelligence like OpenAI ChatGPT, etc.
 
House area 10: Transiting Pluto will conjoin NASDAQ Mercury. We’re within 1° of this pairing, which is like a slow, boiling pot of water about to spill over. That’s a good analogy for what happened with Silicon Valley Bank. Unfortunately, this transit suggests the worst is yet to come for the tech sector before it ultimately takes control as the almighty power for trade and commerce. IMHO Elon Musk and Cathie Wood have been far ahead of the curve by many years.
 
House area 12: Transiting Mercury conjoins NASDAQ Chiron on March 22nd, the same day Chairman Powell announces any interest rate hikes. Mercury is commerce and communication while Chiron is our wounds that need healing. This pairing makes me think a March pause is in order given the recent SVB collapse,  extraordinary bailout circumstances, and problematic concerns for other banks. My forecast guess is Mr. Powell will talk about the recent chaos and say, “This is merely a pause, not a pivot.”

For Oil 1st Trade Date - Full Moon synastry chart:
 
House area 4: Transiting Neptune conjoins Oil’s Neptune in Pisces. We’re slowly nearing a new oil cycle since Neptune and Pisces rule oil. Note how transiting Saturn newly in Pisces is now in Neptune’s same sign and therefore line of sight. This indicates oil prices should decline for the time being. I’ve noticed more relief at the gas pump lately. Falling gas prices could help reduce inflation.

If you’ve made it this far, you may be wondering where I think you should be investing your money these days. Personally, I’m risk averse and a big fan of financial guru Suze Orman. Listen to her March 16, 2023 podcast for sound advice. That’s what I’m doing.
 
Until next time, I wish you a bold, productive and prosperous new moon cycle.

This December 23, 2022 Capricorn New Moon at 5:17 a.m. Eastern Time emphasizes finding mature ways to manifest our goals while dealing with varying skyward trends. There’s an overall theme of ourselves as unique individuals and a collective species being challenged as we try to expand our lives with Sun and Moon square Jupiter. This New Moon square to Jupiter also correlates with a challenge of inflation.
 
In financial and mundane astrology, Capricorn links to real estate, corporations and government. Significant news or events in these areas are highlighted for the next two weeks.
 
Chiron in Aries also represents high inflation. Chiron turns direct less than one hour before this new moon is exact. This rare transit timing of Chiron direct with the Capricorn New Moon resonates increased collective consumer and economic focus on inflation. Chiron switching to direct motion suggests progress toward inflation resolutions can be made.
 
Currently 5 astrological planets are in zodiac sign Capricorn, transiting in this consecutive order: Sun, Moon, Venus, Mercury, Pluto. An abundance (aka “stellium” = 3 or more) of Capricorn energies underscores broader market, consumer and investor sentiments focus on building long term and life structures. We’ll be inclined to solidify gains, reduce losses, organize portfolios, and structure practical life/business interests. This stellium is quite timely to end 2022.
 
Consider the planetary order of Capricorn energies to best personally utilize this unique stellium of cardinal energy:

1. Sun – Check your self-expression, ego drives
2. Moon – Watch out for emotions, fears, worries
3. Venus – Get centered on relationships, finances, finding life’s beauty
4. Mercury – Think organized, practical thoughts when communicating
5. Pluto – Strengthen and transform your world with your inner power

 
The Sun and New Moon are both aligned at a sesquisquare aka sesquiquadrate angle to Uranus. For the markets this triplet meeting suggests amplified tensions for technology stocks and cryptocurrencies. An excited desire to break free of something and/or sudden surprises in these sectors are likely. We find the FTX debacle is highlighted and under scrutiny.
 
Remember that Capricorn is guided by Saturn, which highlights limitations and restrictions. These can feel like an extra test since the New Moon square Jupiter prefers growth with no boundaries. Being so near the December Solstice and on the cardinal axis suggests an extended theme for 3 to 6 months of these New Moon dynamisms.
 
With Uranus still retrograde, these next two weeks offer a perfect time for reviewing all tech stocks, ETFs, Funds, and crypto investments. Expect surprises and maybe more shake ups regarding these equities since Uranus is within a 3° orbit of influence to the North Node. It’s advisable to maintain Capricorn discipline and patience.
 
Jupiter just re-entered Aries and is at 0° Aries, approaching Chiron now at 11° Aries. Chiron entering Aries started a new inflationary cycle. Jupiter expands whatever it touches, so moving toward Chiron it surely could exacerbate issues of inflation. It will take a long time for the Federal Reserve to reach a target of 2% inflation.
 
I always like to mention my favorite quote from a LOST TV episode: “People are the variable”. Whether Jerome Powell or Vladimir Putin. IMHO these are now the two most important people on my global watchlist. Jupiter in Aries might also expand warrior energy. We should closely monitor what is said about military initiatives or civil unrest in the news.
 
Putin speaking with Belarus leader Alexander Lukashenko earlier this week is concerning. Further study of Putin’s natal chart is warranted. Unfortunately, we shouldn’t expect the war in Ukraine to end any time soon.
 
Jupiter in Aries enlarges all things linked to Mars. The red planet is known for action, assertiveness, aggression and war. This geocosmic stimulus points to these specific sectors when investing: military defense, metal weaponry; surgical supplies and sharp tools, vaccines; mining, steel, iron; competitive sports.
 
Jupiter in Aries adds a fiery temperament for worldly and personal expansion. We’ll all have added energy to initiate projects and be more self-oriented toward individual needs. That’s not a bad thing. Just remember Aries’ warrior spirit can become too large if not kept in check. For this reason, the Ukraine war and other world conflicts may flare up.
 
The Sun and Moon are in a 90° square angle to Jupiter. This infers there are still challenges and adjustments we must make between our individual aspirations and collective growth or wealth acquisition. Being grounded and taking personal responsibility for one’s own actions is key.
 
Two important areas Jupiter represents are travel and legal matters. Expect enormous tension involving these agendas. Media will focus on tourism, global transport and high-profile court cases for up to 6 months. Professional experts will be under pressure to forecast matters correctly, protect their interests, or solve legal battles.
 
For added new moon impact, Jupiter is precisely semi-square to Uranus for a third time. This pairing suggests tested situations along with surprises. Jupiter here makes us feel bold, yet challenges exist especially in technologies and cryptocurrencies. Further tech layoffs amid Jupiter in Aries suggests more entrepreneurs opting for self-employment and utilizing tech platforms for success.
 
A few more financial thoughts with two additional charts below:

The Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) natal chart in synastry with this new moon shows transiting Mars retrograde at 10° Gemini near the DJIA natal Pluto and Midheaven. This implies great dynamic force in the DJIA for at least this 2-week cycle duration if not longer. For investing now, it seems the Dow is favored over NASDAQ.

Saturn in Aquarius has been depressing technologies and cryptocurrencies. The NASDAQ natal chart in synastry with this new moon reinforces continued pressures and limitations for these sectors. Transiting Saturn conjoins the NASDAQ Sun and North Node, while transiting Uranus conjoins the NASDAQ natal Saturn. Transit Mars is opposite NASDAQ Mars, which again heightens volatile trading for this index.
 
Holiday blessings and Happy New Year to all!
Trudy
