Eclipses
mark the ending of chapter and the opening of another. Coming so soon after the Saturn and Neptune conjunction on the World Axis, the cosmic signals were clear that the world was entering a new age - as it did fter the last such conjunction that coincided with the fall of the Berlin Wall and collpase of the USSR.
In his speech at Davos, Mark Carney stated that we should not mourn the end of world order. Yet events this weekend have plunged the world into darkness and it is
hard not to wish for those periods when peace reigned.
It might help to know that this is the last of a type of lunar eclipse to be viewed for three years. I hope that it does not take that length of time for peace in so many regions to be restored.
That said, the planetary pictures suggest otherwise: the potential for heightened emotions leading to a long period of eventfulness is great. It is, of course, arguable that World War III began four years ago when Russia
invaded Ukraine. The distribution of the planets in February 2022 indicated that that conflict would last seven years. If we use the chart of mankind (the last eclipse before the most recent Neptune Pluto conjunction) then we might conclude that present tension will not subside until the eclipse in January 2029.
But to go back just two weeks: on the very day of the Saturn-Neptune alignment, President Trump put new tariffs in place. A few days later, and as the geomagnetic field was
altered by this period of eclipses, Pakistan declared war on the Taleban of Afghanistan. Then, this weekend as Mercury turned retrograde, and Mars and Uranus came to 90 degree angle, the multiple attacks in the Middle East began.
Today's lunar eclipse marks the end of a major chapter: a cliff-hanger ending as the unknown beckons.
Matters could escalate around April 10th when Mars arrives at the World Axis - potentially fuelling increased aggression. All this is taken
place against the backdrop of the long term quarter phase of Pluto and Kuiper Belt Object Haumea's cycle. If the past is an indicator of the future, then what began this weekend is just the beginning. Conflict could be with us for another two years at least.
EQUITIES, GOLD AND SILVER
There have been many years when US indices have tumbled in early March, and an anniversary effect was always possible. Given the many planets in Mutable signs (traders
tend to react negatively to these), a negative mood was likely to be exaggerated at the start of this week.
Precious metal prices tend to increase in times of strife. Key dates for gold and silver include March 5th/6th, 11th, 12th, 15th and 19th. I am particularly interested in the Jupiter stations on March 15th when Mars reaches a critical degree for silver. This could bring a significant high.
Creating a chart for the Equinox yields clues as to the trends for
the coming three months. Analysis of the chart for the coming equinox indicates tthat he likelihood of market correction is increased by several factors - starting with Chiron's entry into Taurus in late May. When Chiron made this passage in the 1930s, the Great Depression was in force. That this ingress occurs within days of the very first conjunction of the Sun-Uranus-Sedna in Gemini for over 11,000 years underscores the fact that we are headed into the unknown.
What we do know
is that Jupiter will oppose Pluto in the weeks following the USA's 250th birthday. This 'gamblers curse' aspect indicates a USA hangover. Perhaps the bill for various celebrations will be higher than expected.
US DOLLAR Certainly, there is astro-reason to think that the US dollar will continue to decline: with implications for us all. What will replace it? A stablecoin (government backed digital currency). If so, whose?
I will be covering all this and more in
the monthly classes - the next on Sunday, March 22nd (use link below to register).
Saturday March 21st is Astrology Day. I am taking part in three major events: each requiring different presentations. I will start my day in Istanbul where I will give a talk on the planetary pictures of the coming years and new financial trends. A few hours later I cross to New York to take part in Wade Caves' Mundane Astrology event ( https://skyscript.co.uk/inmundo/summit) where I will focus on Pluto in Aquarius, new technologies and areas for investment. An hour later I am a panel member on Kepler College' free special event www.keplercollege.org
Two days ago I began a 20 plus hour course on financial astrology specifically curated for students in Turkey. Others will follow with each focused on examples
using the charts for local stock markets. These courses are entirely different to the Ebook and webinar 'Introduction to Financial Astrology' which was created after demand from Full Moon letter readers. There is ample material in there for you to develop your particular interest. With a good resources list, this is a super starting point. That work is not to be confused with the 6 module course which was designed as much for traders as astrologers.
And FINALLY,
After a
gruelling and tortuous admin journey, it was finally decided that Michael was indeed entitled to continuing health care. On the day of the final panel hearing Saturn was EXACT TO THE MINUTE on my Sun/Moon midpoint marking the end of this unhappy chapter. What was super pleasing was that the star, also known as Gemma (the name of my lawyer) was conjoined with the Moon that morning. Her star was definitely rising. She was magnificent. With this behind me I can plan a fitting musical memorial
for Michael.
For now, wishing you all safe and well
Yours from the stars
