If it seems that
the world has gone mad, there might be a cosmic explanation:
With all the traditionally-recognised planets (ignoring the Kuiper belt objects for the moment) on one side of the Sun, solar activity has increased. Research shows that mankind experiences heightened tension at these times. The incidence of heart attacks, violence and palpable anxiety manifesting as headache and dissention increases - though so too, is there evidence of marked creativity.
I
wonder if world leaders are aware that their decision-making might not be entirely rational presently? There is a lop-sidedness at work with, it seems, people choosing one side or another. Compromise and co-operation seem in short supply. The beleagured United Nations whose chart is under considerable pressure may be left powerless. By late April we will surely hear the clamour for a new and better balanced organisation that is adequately and reliably funded.
Global financial
affairs have been affected with the unmistakable tremor of cosmic change gaining traction - just look at the extraordinary movement in the price of gold and silver on Friday! Neptune passed over the midheaven of the chart for the Federal Reserve Bank on entering Aries last week. This, together with President Trump announcing his choice for its next chair, goes some way toward explaining those moves. (If you missed my forecast for 2026, you can still purchase it on the Financial Universe website
as December 2025 monthly class).
It is worth mentioning that Uranus stations in Taurus for the last time in many decades on February 3rd and 4th - dates which could see developments that shake global finances. Set for London, UK, charts suggest the possibility of unwelcome drama.
GOLD AND SILVER
Clients want to know if gold and silver will return to those recent highs, and when they should buy.
The solar
eclipse conjoins Uranus in the chart for the London Gold Fix. Uranus is the planet of poltics and of unexpected development. Rarely do events manifest on the exact day of the eclipse: often action is triggered by the passing of another planet over that position. That being the case, I expect marked reaction on March 1st. You will need to use technical analysis to determine the direction! Astrology is the extra timing implement in your trading toolbox, and should never be used
alone.
As the next Full Moon (March 3rd) is also a lunar eclipse following a solar eclipse on Feb 17th, and with Saturn and Neptune aligning on the World axis between the two events, global confidence in currencies and digital trust comes into sharp question. Next Saturday (February 7th) I am offering a special crypto event where I will explore this theme.
SILVER
Silver’s cosmic cycles suggest it’s merely pausing to catch its breath. If
you have followed my monthly classes, you’ll know we were spot-on predicting last autumn’s surge. My sense, based on both planetary mathematics and long-term cycle studies, is that the second quarter of this year bears watching. I anticipate another sharp move—perhaps a new high for silver—after the Sun's alignment with Uarnus in Gemini in late May.
GLOBAL POLITICS
The last time that Neptune crossed into Aries as it did last Monday (Jan 26th) coincided
with the battle of Fort Sumter in April 1862, which is often seen as marking the start of the American civil war. The death of the two citizens shot by ICE agents in Minneapolis is clearly marking another seminal moment. With so many planets on one side of the Sun, division is highlighted. The 'good' news is that the planets move on and that this planetary geometry will dissipate - hopefully before more damage is inflicted.
TRADE & ALLIANCE
Mark Carney's
speech at the Davos Forum succinctly captured the issues facing the global community. As Saturn and Neptune leave Pisces, the old world order is dissolving. Canada has already made new deals with China with the UK not far behind. The tarrifs initiated by President Trump have yet to have full effect. Their full impact could be felt as Jupiter accents the positions of Mercury and Mars in the Inaguration chart between April 26th and June 2nd.
EQUITIES &
INVESTMENT
A stock market correction is probable in this first quarter of 2026. Planetary configurations suggest the period between Feb 27th and early March - anniversary dates of previous declines - as bringing correction. Such periods bring investment opportunity. Everyone has their favourite sector and your personal chart yields clues as to which areas could work well for you. At a general level my favourite picks include energy stocks, companies offering security
systems and, as always, those businesses providing essential services.
NEWS
I am concluding my stay in Florida where unexpected cold weather has proved useful in that I am not distracted by sunshine! I have made progress on the solar book!
Michael is surely delighted with the launch of the new e-book that accompanies the Introduction to Financial Astrology recording (ordering link below). It chose it's own launch time and came on
line as Neptune slipped into Aries - trining his Mercury. As a professor he was passionate about passing on knowledge and must be so pleased.
I would love to see and hear his thoughts on another development: my first financial course for Turkish students which launches in March. His Sagittarian smile is broad I'm sure. This is a major development and Julie, my wonderful assistant and I are braced and ready!
for now, wishing you all warm and
safe
Yours from the stars
