Dear Fellow Star Gazers
Happy Full and Super Beaver – Hunter Moon!
I am writing this en route back to London after 3 weeks in Canada. The workshop went super well and after a few days on a writing retreat in the beautiful little town of Stratford, Ontario, I now
have a manuscript ready for edit!.........
CRYPTOS
In Toronto I enjoyed brunch with a student where we discussed crypto matters ahead of my Astro-Crypto event on Sunday Nov 16th (registration link below). Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, Ripple and Cardano were already on my list, but we also talked about a couple of lesser- known coins and
how best to astro-track their movements. Cracking the astro-DNA of the well-known coins is both exciting and challenging, and I look forward to sharing my findings and forecasts.
Jupiter’s direct station in 2026 will find that planet in good aspect to Bitcoin’s Vesta – surely a signal for strong results. It’s after that aspect that I suspect we will see major correction across all cryptos.
EQUITIES
On Tuesday 11th, Jupiter stations close to the degree held by Mars at the inauguration of President Trump back in January. Not only does this seem likely to inflame the global trading situation with talk of tariffs raised once more, but it does not look good for resolution of the US government shutdown issue.
Jupiter has a justifiable reputation for excess –
but that’s not always in a good way. A major hang-over could be on the way:
Mars and Uranus are in opposition hours before the Full Moon: an aspect that often marks a market top. Already there are signs of equities slipping. Together with a retrograde Mercury and Uranus’ return to Taurus, a correction could be under way.
GOLD
Uranus is the planet of contradiction. It is not unusual for gold to gain as equities decline but it may well do the opposite this time and decline with equities - at least for the next week. I expect stronger and upward moves at the December Equinox. I will go into these moves in more depth in the monthly event on November 23rd.
SILVER
Silver has yet to recover from its fall at the heliocentric Mars-Uranus opposition mid October although it received a price boost as Mercury and Mars aligned geocentrically in mining sign, Scorpio. This aspect coincided with Mercury’s heliocentric transit of Aquarius. Since 1991, silver has been consistent in rising in price as Mercury makes this transit but falls on entry into Pisces - as has happened again this time.
FLYING KITES
A small triangle with Uranus 120 degrees from Pluto and both Saturn and Neptune midway between the two, becomes a kite once a month as the Moon opposes the apex of this triangle. Saturn is the fastest-moving of the planets involved in the mini triangle, and by April will have moved sufficiently far from Neptune to leave just that planet at the midpoint. This
planetary picture hangs in the sky for many months. I am choosing to view this as a period of cosmic downloading when many extraordinary ideas are incubated.
Of course you may be irritated: just as when your computer insists on updating at a highly inconvenient moment, being controlled in this way might not find you at your best!
Saturn’s presence at this midpoint demands that we be
patient! Add Mercury turning retrograde this weekend and anticipate frayed nerves over the new few weeks but consider too that you may be trying to go too fast too soon.
WORLD NEWS
With governments across the world challenged as never before it is surely clear that we are entering a new era. ‘Old’ parties will be replaced – though agreed – it
could take all of Pluto’s Aquarius journey (to 2043) for that process to conclude.
When writer’s block struck, I distracted myself by looking at charts for the solar return of the Inauguration chart (no relief from tariff trauma in 2026) and then went on to look at the chart for the next inauguration in 2029. Between now and then there is likely be a recession to negotiate – plus the collapse of many trade agreements and
– very likely – the break up of the United States and new affiliations or trade blocks.
Overnight we heard that the people of New York had voted decisively for its youngest-ever mayor. This vote coincided with the Mars-Uranus opposition alerting us to political sea change.
