Dear Fellow Stargazers,
Happy Full Moon!
At my birth, the Moon was in Sagittarius (as at this Full Moon) and unsurprisingly, I am super busy. There is SO much to offer in the next monthly event (June 29th and details below) and to prepare for the Crypto event on July 12th.
USA NEWS
As anticipated, the relationship between President Trump and Elon Musk broke down -and is unlikely to be repaired. Comparison of their charts suggested that each was initially seduced by the other. Seduction has turned to accusations of fraud and deceit. This story has, however, been supplanted by another developing crisis: one that is likely to come to a
head at this Full Moon:
President Trump appears to be using the power of distraction by sending the National Guard into Los Angeles: a crisis is left unresolved and another supplanted.
Pluto stationed retrograde at 90 degrees to the Ascendant of the chart for California and another power struggle - this time between the fifth largest economy in the world and the US
administration, is underway. It is unlikely to be quelled and, as stated in events and earlier newsletters, problems could escalate at the August 9th Full Moon.
TARIFFS
Jupiter has entered Cancer and protectionism rules at every level. That planet, the largest in the solar system spins on its axis every eight earth hours and is associated with
thunderstorms and bolts of lightning.
Expect many of those this week as Jupiter moves to right angle with BOTH Saturn and Neptune. It is reasonable to expect markets to experience nervous breakdowns. Volatility indices will surely react strongly.
Yet markets don't always do as might be expected and with Jupiter storming toward its square with Neptune they could run higher until..........
BLACK SWANS
Yes, a black swan could be waiting in the weeds. There are tricky cosmic currents still to negotiate. They are easier to recognise in hindsight (of course), but events that are dynamic, historic, shocking and even awesome are indicated by the planetary geometry of the next few months (with some alignments in September most definitely 'in the frame'. I will consider the likely dates
and financial waterways likely to be affected in the next monthly astro-finance event on June 29th.
CRYPTO
Uranus enters Gemini on July 7th - it's first venture into this area since the 1940s (and yes, pre Crypto, but coinciding with global financial turbulence).
Uranus will be joining Sedna already in that sign and
the swells of financial activity could yet shipwreck many financial institutions.
I am near waist-deep now in research for the Astro-Crypt event on July 12th where I will take an in depth look at the outlook for Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, Cardano, Ripple, Hebara, Coinbase, relationships with the SEC, and a crypto ETF. You can secure a place using the link below.
AUSTRALIA upsets the iron/tariff cart
An estimated 55 billion tons of iron ore bed has now been identified in Western Australia. The market value is over $6 trillion and will surely be a global game changer. It will bring investment into the country and require that environmental concerns are addressed. The find cannot be 'undiscovered' and should bring wealth to the region.
The process by which it was found could be used in other ways too and eventually affect the entire mineral market.
SILVER
As those of you who attended the last monthly event know, I am confident that silver will experience a good year. The SLV index surged to over $36 last week. There may be more to come.
GOLD
Conversely, the Gold index did not do so well. As silver soared, the gold index fell. It could fall more after Mars moves into Virgo on June 17th.
SOLAR ACTIVITY
The planetary geometry between Jupiter, Saturn and Neptune is highly
significant and a factor in extraordinary solar activity. Cycle 25 is supposed to reach maximum this July but - and as nothing is certain where the Sun is concerned, - maximum activity be extended.
This has implications for all human activity where exuberance and irrationality wins over moderation. I will be discussing this with my friend and colleague, Oner Doser, in Istanbul next week whose new book has been translated
into English - more on that next time.
More immediately I am preparing for other presentations in Istanbul this weekend. You can find details of these various events in the links below.
My late husband - watching from the other side - is surely delighting in the fact that our grand-daughter is joining me for these travels and celebrating the end of her school years.
Looking forward to connecting to Turkish readers in Istanbul and to my 'zoom' friends in the monthly and crypto events.
For now, wishing you all well and safe,
Yours from the Stars
