Note: All times specified are in Eastern Time Zone. Planetary alignments can be felt 1-to-2 days (or more for outer planets) prior to exact pairings. Most importantly, remember people are always the unknown variable when it comes to markets. Last Wednesday’s transit of Mars in conjunction with Chiron was no doubt an instrumental influence for U.S. markets turning bearish. The week ahead remains tricky however there are more optimistic alignments than the prior week. Monday to Tuesday, planet of trade and commerce Mercury enters clever and changeable Gemini. Mercury will be in an easy flow alignment with Pluto, the planet of death and transformation. This might infer investors consolidating profits. Simultaneously on Monday and Tuesday, Mercury conjoins Jupiter, the planet of wealth and expansion. In typical dualistic Mercurial style, this pairing implies an upbeat bullish tone. Exact on Tuesday, the positive beaming Sun links with money planet Venus. Both are already moving through Gemini. This is the bright spot of the week as the Sun’s brilliant energy is usually the strongest of all planets. Wednesday reinforces Monday’s and Tuesday’s dynamics as a quicker moving Gemini Moon connects to Jupiter and Mercury. Normally this results in a decent uplift for U.S. markets. One additional factor is that Monday through Wednesday is the 4th Quarter Moon, which often tends to be a time of inward looking and cutting back. There’s a unique contradiction at play here, which is typical of Gemini vibes. Thursday may mark a trend shift by the afternoon after the Gemini New Moon unites with Venus at 9:36 AM. The Moon then makes a challenging square to Saturn in Pisces at 1:19 PM. Difficult planetary Moon alignments between 2 mutable signs often result in a trend reversal. Stressful energies continue late in the week from Thursday to Sunday as first Venus then the Sun square Saturn. Furthermore, on Sunday, Mars enters Taurus denoting a major change of dynamism. Investors will likely forgo Mars in Aries fiery warrior mentality in favor of grounded security and protection of assets and tangible possessions. A rotation toward earth-focused investments such as commodities or luxury goods might begin to dominate markets accordingly. To resonate the theme of Gemini and this week’s New Moon in Gemini, I’m digging Reneé Rapp’s song “Gemini Moon” which perfectly describes the dual nature of this zodiac sign. 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?

This week’s theme is The Beatles song, “Can’t Buy Me Love.” Except for Moon transits, there’s little planetary action this Monday to Friday. A Pisces New Moon early Sunday, March 10, suggests a vibe of meandering imagination, indecision, or worse yet, confusion may permeate this week. Our most insightful day seems to be Sunday when thought leader Mercury seeks a rebirth of Pluto power. Consider this paired influence as inspired mind control aiming toward future initiatives for best outcomes. Money (and love) planet Venus cruises through visionary Pisces on Monday until April 5. This infers potential fear or a dream-like fog hovers over the banking sector. Coincidentally, the Federal Reserve’s Bank Term Funding Program (BTFP) is set to end on Monday as well. Transiting Sun conjoins the natal NYSE Midheaven chart status point Monday to Tuesday. This is typically a positive U.S. stock market indicator per astrologer and author Louise McWhirter. It’s a first quarter Moon all week, which is also considered a favorable cycle for markets. Friday, March 15, is a triple witching day: “the simultaneous expiration of stock options, stock index futures, and stock index options contracts” (per Investopedia.com). My advice: plan for increased volume and trading volatility Wednesday to Friday. p.s. Do you like the above beautifully design-driven LUNA astrology software?
