ASTRO-FINANCE DECEMBER 2024
The election has changed dynamics and brought in new hope. At the same time, 36 trillion dollars of US debt is not going to vanish overnight, even if DOGE can cut 2 trillion dollars of waste from the government. Many fear that tariffs will increase inflation, but at the same time, they will encourage people to buy American and encourage moving back manufacturing to the US after years of cheap Chinese goods. Neptune in Pisces is not going to let inflation go away.
Back in 2019, I wrote an article about Neptune in the constellation of Purvabhadrapada (Aquarius 20-Pisces 3.20) which is a nefarious constellation connected to the secret societies and is emblematic of the Deep State. Saturn moves into this constellation on Dec. 23, and Saturn likes to root out corruption and forces us to get real. Neptune goes stationary direct on December 7 and will finally move out of Purvabhadrapada after being there the last 7 years and this will around January 15, 2025.
This is a big event as Neptune is the big deceiver and has been supporting all the illusions and craziness we have seen in the Deep State and Big Government.It seems fitting that both transits will finally bring clean-up to government. Will the Deep State fight back before the inauguration? They are certainly trying with authorizing Ukraine to use long-range missiles and giving Ukraine landminds in an effort to create World War 3. Will they succeed?
Mars goes stationary retrograde from December 6-February 23 and can be very powerful 3-4 days before and after it stations. Still, this is happening in the sign of Cancer.
My personal sense is that Mars in Cancer has less energy to manifest a huge fight although it likes to hiss like a declawed cat. You can see this in the way Israel backed off of a hit on the Iranian nuclear and oil facilities and said they were done and Iran has been rather weak around fighting since the 1979 Iran/Iraq war. There are more talks and hope between Russia and Ukraine as they fear Trump’s inauguration. Israel and Lebanon also found a reason to have a truce, and even Hamas is coming out and saying they want one, but they are giving ridiculous terms again. The Jupiter trine from Jupiter in Taurus to Venus in Capricorn will be helpful for peace this month and that peaks into Dec. 19th.
Mars retrograde opposes Pluto on January 3 between Cancer and Capricorn, creating power struggles and strong aggression energies that need to be balanced so you do not bowl people away with your power and desire to control. This is also a signature for earthquakes, so let’s hope that Mother Nature can handle the energies. It could lead to a force of power by some warring country. It could have a war energy, and it is a bit too close to the US natal Pluto when the US Pluto return happens for the third time on December 30. It could also lead to a diffusion of tension. I am counting on Mars in Cancer, liking to hiss and threaten like a declawed cat but then not acting out, and we are seeing that with Iran, but will Russia wait for Trump? I think so.
When we look at the US Dasha for the 1776 chart, the US went into a Rahu/Mercury period a few days after an election. While both are in the transformational 8th house, the positive news is that they are both in the constellation of Pushya ruled by the benefic Brihaspati, the priest of the gods. That, along with Jupiter’s benevolent trine onto Pluto from Taurus to Capricorn, suggests a positive transformation rather than the violent one that many had predicted.
STOCK MARKET:
The stock market is overbought at publication and is due for a larger correction. The US is a Sagittarius rising, and the US usually does not like 12th house transits through Scorpio, and Mercury is there now until early January, and the Sun will be there until December 16. This usually creates more deficit spending and problems.
Patterns would suggest not more than 8-10% pullback but it will scare some folks. Still, it should hold 5674 on S & P cash and make a new high into the first quarter of 2025 to at least 6300 on the S & P cash. . Our quick peek into January and February 2025 has Mars retrograding into Gemini January 20-April 2, but staying in the auspicious nakshatra of Purnavasu (Gemini 20-Cancer 3.20) to create a positive connection for risk-taking between Jupiter and Mars. Venus is also in Pisces, exalted January 27-March 1, and then goes retrograde to move back toward Saturn and Rahu into early April. The stock market seasonally is lower in March, and Mercury in Pisces for two months in March and April will not help it or tech stocks. So another correction is coming then. A cluster of Saturn, Mercury, the Sun, Venus and Rahu within a few degrees in early April in the US 4th house may mean another housing crisis or will the budget crisis finally have no where to go?
The market is healthy, above S & P Cash 5674 on pullbacks. The market continues to show signs of toppying, and NQ 100 futures are not in trouble unless 19050 comes out. Tesla looks like it would hold 289 and get up to 404 into next year.S & P cash could get up to 6300 in the first quarter of 2025.
METALS AND GOLD:
Gold is seasonally lower into December 15 before the Sun moves into Sagittarius. We do not expect more of a pullback than 2497, and the next push up would get to 3067 into January. Longer-term investment cycles point to higher prices into 2027, and projections are toward 4907. Gold will continue to be king.
You can play gold with ETFs like SLV, GLD, and GDX (Gold Miners) and we cover them in our newsletter. Stay on top of our daily forecasts with Fortucast.com newsletters.
CRYPTOS:
Bitcoin has been volatile and toppy at publication. It had accelerated to 100,000 on the Trump victory.
The secondary high looks like a move to 100187, but that could be a B wave, and then we still would get to 91000 in December. Mercury retrograde may impact it and when Mercury goes direct in mid-Dec, it may start higher again. Need to do some work on the pattern. If this turns into a B wave bounce, then we are looking for another 9000 points lower in December.
LONGER-TERM: The January continuation chart target is 103604 and 104806. Eventually, we have to move beyond our microanalysis and remember that the larger cycle highs go into 2026.
Fund managers are projecting 200,000k Bitcoin on the news into next year, but we have seen these wild assertions before. Still, our larger cycles are friendly into 2026, with Bitcoin in a Jupiter/Rahu period until 2026.
Remember to work with your broker. Trading and investing have to be done both technically and astrology can help but should not be the only factor in making a decision. You have to buy low and sell high.
