My approach to stock market is fairly simple.
- What kind of profit can you expect from your investment when you look at your chart?
For example, I have a stellium in the 11th House so investing in the company I worked for (2nd from the 10th) has been my best investment in life. And leaving an external institution manage the whole thing.
People tend to look at the 5th House. Not always! Yes if you want to do it by your own, otherwise look where your strengths are.

Golden rule:
- It is always best to buy when the Moon is separating from malefics and applying to benefics.
If you expect a decline on a stock, don't buy it when the aspect is applying (like Venus opp Uranus of Sept 23rd) otherwise you are running into a brick wall. Buy it when the aspect is over and the decline is confirmed.
- Use the Moon.
If the Moon is increasing, you will make profits especially if applying to Jupiter.
If the Sun is also applying to the planet the Moon applies to, then that's a double Yes.
When I sold the house of my deceased mother, a couple of people showed up, until one made an offer close to the Full Moon. That was it! Maximum growth had been reached. We closed the deal.

Hi all,

Any astrologically based predictions on what impact the war in the Ukraine might have on the Forex market?

Thanks in advance.

Actual sunspot counts have now exceeded predictions for 15 straight months. The monthly value at the end of December 2021 was more than twice the forecast, and the highest in more than 5 years.

I must state (and my family supports that as well): Whatever someone may call this event, - in reality this is WAR. Whatever someone may specify the goals of this war, - in reality this is the war against UKRANIANS. Whatever someone says about this war, this is SHAME for Russia. I do not know what is
the outcome and when it will end, I know only one Hegel's saying that the old mole of history digs slowly, but surely. Being 100% Russian, I say: ! Glory to Ukraine!

So, let's talk war and markets in terms of geocosmic studies. Venus and Mars, peace and war, are in an unusual conjunction zone right now. Since Venus just turned direct on January 29, it has been moving more slowly than Mars as seen from Earth. In fact, mars passed Venus on February 16. But now, as of today, Venus has gotten back to a speed where it will soon pass Mars on March 6. However, what is most interesting is that on March 6, when Venus passes Mars, both will leave the sign of Capricorn (where they conjoined on February 16) and enter Aquarius.

You may remember that at the height of the pandemic in March 2020, Mars and Saturn both entered Aquarius (the same degree as Venus and Mars next week). And on December 21, 2020, Jupiter and Saturn had both just ingressed from Capricorn into Aquarius, again on the same zero degrees. This is truly a "super-charged degree" of the heavens now. Thus, in the study of astrology, this is a major development, portending a new "Aira" (because they are moving into Aquarius, an air sign) in the arc of human history.
Most commentators purport the idea that the world is devolving back into powerful authoritarian governments. That may be true at the present moment, but I tend to disagree longer-term. The movement of all these planets from Capricorn (authoritarianism themes) to Aquarius implies the beginning stages of a more enlightened world population that will place more value on human rights, equality, and freedom (Aquarius) not less. It is the end of an old cycle, which can be very difficult and resistant to change, and the beginning of a new cycle, which is readying to give birth. I would think that within one year of the Saturn/Neptune cycle in February 2026, the current model of Russian governance will implode, as it has done consistently throughout history whenever Saturn and Neptune conjoin (every 36 years).

But back to the markets and war. As Mars moves towards Pluto on March 3, the drums of war beat loudly.
As Venus and Mars leave Capricorn for Aquarius on March 6, signs of peace and a reduction in violence emerge. As Mars then moves towards Saturn on April 8, the agreements may be violated or re-interpreted and twisted to imply something very different than most everyone understood, and the war drums beat again. But as Jupiter applies to Neptune on April 12, another step towards peace can take hold.

It could end there and the situation starts to stabilize. However, it may not stabilize for long again, because on May 10, 2022, Jupiter will move into Aries for the greater part of the next year, which coincides with a greater demand for war machinery and weapons (and companies that produce them). On top of all of this, the U.S. continues undergoing its Pluto return, which presents an even more enormous challenge to the role and leadership of the U.S., both militarily and economically.

How will all of this affect financial markets? That will be the subject of a special stock market report I will issue on Monday, February 28 to all subscribers and participants of last weekend's webinar (see Announcements below). Suffice it to say at this time that as Jupiter applies to Neptune, we have a case for a speculative frenzy. It can be either irrational exuberance and hysteria, possibly leading to panic (or both), if not careful.

For now, our attention is focused on next weekend, March 4-7 +/- 1 week, when Venus and Mars will conjoin Pluto, and also March 18-21 when Venus and Mars will square Uranus. This entire period from February 16-March 21 is one of the most important geocosmic time bands of the year.

As Vice-President Kamala Harris said recently in her meetings with European leaders, this is "a defining moment" for the future of the world. She could be right.
