 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?

 A Libra Lunar Eclipse heightens emotional reactions this week while the Moon dominates planetary transits for traders and investors. Libra Moon phases tend to denote indecision.
The South Node connecting to the full moon in Libra also suggests we’ll see some sort of release on Monday and Tuesday. Markets may decline early this week under this influence. The Moon moves through Scorpio Wednesday, Thursday and Friday until 3:52 p.m. Scorpio vibes are determined, probing and motivated to win. Note: U.S. markets will be closed on March 29 for Good Friday. There’s a high probability for extreme market volume and/or volatility these last two trading days of the week as money planet Venus aligns with shock and awe sky ruler Uranus. Look for midweek opportunities and momentum to rocket higher especially for technology, bitcoin, and cryptocurrencies. All innovation stocks and investments are spotlighted. Transiting Venus also conjoins the NYSE Midheaven the last three days of the week. This signifies money can be made plus overall positivity for U.S. markets. Wishing everyone a great week and Happy Easter Sunday! p.s. Do you like the above beautifully design-driven and reasonably priced LUNA Astrology software?

It will likely be an intense eclipse season for everyone. Both the solar and lunar eclipses are in signs ruled by planet Venus. This suggests money, love and relationships will be emphasized in dynamic focus.
Uranus remains stationed at 22° Taurus - Charubel's degree of collapse - until October 21, 2023. Note that markets may turn volatile or negative when this degree is aligned with another planet by conjunction, square or opposition. As explained in prior 2022 forecasts, there was a bear market wave precisely when Saturn was square the North Node at 22° Taurus from April 3 to June 18, 2022. I talk about this and much more in my recent Kepler College webinar now posted on their YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AudJl5uuudw For the above calendar, here are my "Investor Mood Indicators" (IMI): green = bullish red = bearish lavender = volatile black = indecision, confusion yellow = energy shift navy = power trading Key dates to watch (all dates based on Eastern Time): October 2-4, 2023 Mars conjoins the South Node. The past catches up with our current actions as student loans repayments return. Mercury may result in tricky trades while opposite Neptune yet in smooth flow to Pluto before entering Libra. October 8-12, 2023 Mars squares Pluto on Sunday although this power struggle influence will be felt up to 5 days before the exact alignment. Venus enters Virgo for more practical and critical attitudes concerning money and love. We’ll feel even more serious as Venus opposes Saturn early on the 10th just before Pluto turns direct indicating a huge and transformative shift. In addition, the Sun opposite Chiron infers big inflation news. Mars enters Scorpio by the 12th signaling less imbalance and more determined actions in all life areas. October 14, 2023 Balance is desired as the Solar Eclipse in Libra conjunct Mercury and oppose Chiron. The 50-year inflationary cycle is highlighted. October 19-23, 2023 Heightened egos along with frenzied messages and markets are likely as the Sun conjoins Mercury and both square Pluto. If we’re lucky a coinciding trine between Venus and Jupiter will help expand wealth and love. Mercury and the Sun also enter Scorpio in trine to Saturn for no-nonsense deep thinking to focus on fortifying structures. October 28-29, 2023 A Lunar Eclipse in Taurus coincides with a rare Mercury conjunct Mars in Scorpio opposite Jupiter in Taurus. Volatile emotions and seesaw markets are quite likely now. Taurus represents money and love so aim for stability. Eclipse energies can last a while and can launch us to new levels if we ride the energy wisely. October 31, 2023 Venus makes a trine to Uranus implying surprises and explosive action in banking and/or tech. Coincidentally the Fed meets today and November 1st. It’s too soon to tell if another interest rate increase awaits us. Skyward trends suggest a 50/50 chance. As I’ve noted before, people (in this case the free will decisions of the Federal Reserve Board) are always the variable. Disclaimer: This content is for informational and educational purposes only.
