Rough Waters Ahead?
Astrology is suggesting the next few years could be volatile. Volatility creates excellent trading opportunities, for those that are comfortable trading in and out of stock positions. Here is a sampling of what might be headed our way:
As 2020 ends, Saturn is now in the sign of Aquarius. With Saturn in Aquarius (enters the sign once every 29 years), the USA is entering a period of reform (educational reform, rights and freedoms reform, prison reform, and so on…). You have been no doubt following societal events of late, so you can envision as well as I can areas that are ripe for reform. Reform can cause divisions between those in favor of the reform and those against it. Division will make headlines on CNN and Fox. News headlines can move markets.
Starting in March 2021, Neptune will transit 180 degrees opposite to the Neptune location in the 1776 USA natal chart. Thanks to its slow movement and thanks to retrograde it will take into 2023 for the 180-degree aspect to fully conclude itself. Neptune last made a 180-degree aspect to natal Neptune in the time immediately ahead of the onset of the US Civil War. Having Neptune making this 180-degree aspect again along with the activity of Saturn and Pluto surely does not bode well. The start of this Neptune transit will be heralded by Mars moving 0 degrees to the USA natal Uranus and then natal Mars.
At the January 20th Oath of Office swearing in ceremony, Mars will be conjunct the USA natal Uranus and square the Jupiter/Saturn pair. Another less than positive sign of things to come.
Moreover, Mars and Uranus will be conjunct and also on the Ascendant a mere 30 minutes before the swearing in occurs. Sun will be at the Mid-Heaven (of course it will…it’s Noon after all) and Pluto will be with 5 degrees of the Mid-Heaven. Author and astrologer Frank Clifford goes so far as to suggest this all to be a sign of social rebellion and economic turmoil to come.
In early 2022, Pluto will transit conjunct to the USA 1776 natal Pluto location. Probably not a fortuitous event.
As Saturn eventually moves into Pisces (early 2023), the USA will be utterly chaotic and the potential for a revolution will be visible. Some of the early seeds for a potential revolution have already been sown in 2020.
In 2023, Pluto will ingress into the sign of Aquarius. Pluto will take 20 years to work its way through Aquarius. The last time Pluto was in the reforming sign of Aquarius was in 1778 when revolutionary fervor was at a maximum. So, in two-years time we will have Pluto and Saturn together in Aquarius which will prove unsettling.
