Happy Memorial Day! U.S. markets are closed on Monday, May 27, 2024 leaving us with 4 days of stock trading. I’m working on my H2 2024 Forecast Report which should be available soon.
 
It appears investors are still bullish overall despite the Dow’s 605 points pullback last Thursday, May 23 at the Sagittarius Full Moon. There was a good discussion about this in a financial astrology Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/astrofinancial.

By the way, that same day the Department of Justice (DOJ) sued Live Nation just as Venus (money) conjoined Jupiter (associated with legal matters) and both aligned in an opportunity sextile with Neptune (planet of music). Impeccable astrological timing!
 
The current week looks somewhat choppy due to a strong mutable influence from the Sun, Venus and Jupiter now in Gemini, plus other planetary factors.
 
Mercury in an opportunistic 60° angle to Saturn late Monday night and a flowing trine between the Moon and Sun in air signs early Tuesday morning suggest favorable conditions. However, this may be overshadowed by Wednesday’s Mars-Chiron conjunction in Aries.
 
Mars is the action and warrior planet. Chiron represents wounds, healing, problem solving and accountability, which will be activated by Mars. Nasty news about ongoing wars or persistent inflation could dominate media headlines and possibly affect markets.
 
Also on Wednesday, an additional challenge from a Moon square to Uranus infers high trading volume and tests of resistance or support for indexes, particularly for the NASDAQ, technology and cryptocurrencies.
 
Mercury conjoining Uranus Thursday to Friday further implies volatile indices and trades for NASDAQ, technology and cryptocurrencies. The Moon will be in Pisces adding a sense of idealism, wishful thinking, lack of clarity, and/or fear.
 
The upcoming transit of Jupiter in harmonious trine to Pluto exact on Sunday June 2 is considered positive for markets by astrologer and author Louise McWhirter. To me it indicates wealth transformations related to banking or governments, and that a larger change is coming soon in these areas.
 
You may want to plan ahead to protect profits in your portfolio if you’re risk averse. Financial conditions will be dualistic and highly changeable with so much Gemini energy.
 
Speaking of Gemini, here’s a 2018 release by Keith Urban titled, “Gemini” – no doubt about his wife Nicole Kidman whose natal Sun is at “anaretic” 29° Gemini.
