um it's great to be here and I love talking about financial astrology so I'm super excited uh to be invited here by Kepler college and I've been doing astrology for about 25 years uh I'm also an acupuncturist Chinese medicine doctor and I've specialized in medical astrology as as well uh but I really got interested in financial astrology in 2017 2018 and really started tracking uh cryptocurrency markets and started an astrology project on on bitcoin to see if we could use astrology it's a sort of track Bitcoin Market Trend uh and and uh it was you know we had some amazing results you know we also had some some big failures especially at the beginning but I've been working and refining U my my techniques over the years and I think that astrology you know can provide some really unique and helpful practical insights uh for understanding like Market Behavior we can't always predict the price although sometimes we can I was able to predict uh this year the June 6 a top out an important top for Bitcoin and crypto markets in June uh and uh was also able to predict a very long and difficult summer period for crypto as well so sometimes we can predict it but astr ology often uh offers just some unique insights into understanding Market behavior and price price action uh but today Kepler you know the people at Kepler really invited me to just do a very sort of basic intro uh for cryp for financial astrology just to talk about the planets and the signs and talk about their associations a little bit uhi the financial associations I mean you know we know that astrology is so profound it's so deep there's so many different layers and levels of symbolisms and associations and archetypal Fields right uh so of course we know for example you know uh Aries you know in medical astrology you know can represent uh you know the head uh but uh in financial astrology you know Aries is sort of a confident sign right in financial astrology so we're going to just look at the associations of the planets and and make connections and see how it all works together um let me see I'm going to try to go just give me one second here we're going to go to my slideshow uh and just bear with me for a second here so we're going to start uh just talking about the planets here I like sorry let me get my slideshow ready I thought it was yeah okay we're GNA play from the start so this is part of I have a course actually on my website introduction to financial astrology it's got six of these PowerPoints it's got 15 hours of tutorial instruction videos as well so this this uh this coursework here is is from my basic course on astrology Financial astrology and it's got a lot of information it we're not going to go through all of it uh but we're going to really look at the uh you know we're going to really look at the planets the financial really going to focus in on the financial associations but you know in studying the planets right I'm sure we've got a lot of different levels we probably got beginners to Advanced here in the seminar today of course it's It's always important to denote the dignity and debility of planets by exaltation and um by uh domicile and detriment and fall that is going to tell us a lot you know about just about the meanings of the planets and the S associations um especially in financial astrology you know demitra George talks a lot about how when a planet has especially if it's in domicile it has access to resources right so that that has obviously Financial applications and uh you know one of the things that interests there's a lot of different kinds of astrology but for some reason I tend to be really interested in the practical applications of astrology like medical and financial uh and I also like Financial astrology because there's a sort of a mathematical quantitative part of it that you don't always get in a lot of different systems of astrology uh but just talking about the signs in domicile uh and also of course in in exaltation the the planet is held in very high esteem uh and it's you know sort of has the backing of the community so these are just interesting concepts of course and when a planet's in in detriment it doesn't have access to resources uh so these are just interesting sort of uh you know these are just interesting things to know when we're just talking about the planets but let's just start with the sun of course uh the sun is the center of the solar system and all the planets you know are held in the orbit of the Sun so the sun is of course one of the main you know things in astrology it's a giant Fireball in the sky you know and it represents in the natal chart uh you know our sort of our our our identity structure and our life purpose and our hero's journey uh of course we know the glyph for the sun uh in financial markets uh you know just in Financial in general uh you know we're talking about confidence uh I think the Sun and Mars just sort of generally speaking really relate to confidence um so if the sun you know or Mars is weakened uh then that could you know is is is is in a suboptimal sign where it's where its confidence is weak and that can have Market implications the sun is a big shiny sort of golden object right so it's it is somewhat related to to gold uh and so it you know and and to some degree Leo is too because of the the rulership connection of course uh you know in financial astrology the sun is also related to the solar power industry right sometimes it's just a very literal like that and The Sun Also relates to like the head of the company the CEO uh so you know when uh the sun is in Aries that could be you know maybe more positive for markets in in in some ways of course there's going to be other factors like like transits and so forth like that but if we're just talking about markets uh you know recently we had the sun um recently we had the sun was eclipsed on October 2nd it was it was in detriment in Libra and it was eclipsed right and it was like Afflicted to the South node which we'll talk about later uh and we did see we did see a big a sell off there for a couple days especially in the cryptocurrency markets right so the sun was really the confidence of the sun was really damaged uh you know by being eclipsed in detriment and Afflicted to the South node you know it's like what we call multiple uh of testimonies uh so there was there was a market pull back there and then uh you know that would also show up in a natal chart if a sun was was in detriment or fall and also you know Square opposing Saturn or conjunct the South node uh that might indicate that you know sort of like that there could be problems around confidence uh but confidence is important to the markets when we're talking about financial astrology um okay so the moon of course you know the moon right what is the you know what is the moon what is the significance of the Moon just in as ology in general right I like my courses to be somewhat interactive I I don't like to just lecture at you so in the chat box you know if you want to say hey this is what I think the moon represents you know we can get a conversation going uh but we just the I think the seminar is a little too big today to really get it to be interactive just hundreds of people but uh you know the the Moon is very emotional right especially we know like full moons we know that emotions can kind of be running high on full moons um so uh you know that's true for markets too like the Moon is a very important short-term Market mood indicator uh let me see if I can move this box a little bit better here so you can see my information but uh short-term Market mood when I'm doing my weekly sort of Market forecast you know we always look at the Moon is the moon going to be conjunct Venus this week is the moon going to be conjunct Jupiter those would be favorable usually or is the moon going to be conjunct the malefics Mars or Saturn that might mean there could be a little bit of fear in the market there could be a pullback uh you know so this this really short-term emotional sentiment the moon you know is a shiny silver object in the sky and it rules silver uh so all of the planets have metal associations too the moon also of course rules like homes land and real estate right home the home is a really strong signification of the Moon and so in addition to the fourth house and cancer which are also associated with the moon right these are all the same kind of General archetypal Fields uh so the moon uh is one of the indications for real estate markets also like the restaurant businesses and food and Agriculture and gardening and so forth like that um also the new and the full moon sometimes will be really key pivot Points for the market so we had June 6 which I talked about earlier we had a uh that was a very very important new moon for Bitcoin uh and Bitcoin did have a very important significant uh to top so rally uh rally to a top right around that June 6 New Moon and there was a lot of different significations for that new moon uh so we look at the lon Nations you know to look at Market Trend and for a long time we were getting Tops on the new moon followed by a selloff down into the full moons uh for cryptocurrency markets in particular now that pattern can change it's not set in stone and it did ultimately kind of change a bit but uh sometimes it will fall into a Groove like that and that can be affected or thrown off by a retrograde period or other factors in transits as well eclipses also uh can be very important you know for markets especially u a lunar eclipse you can get markets can go to extreme sentiments uh either fear and panic sell-offs or kind of fomo buying rallies also when I'm doing my fincial forecast you know if there's an important fed meeting like there was actually in September or there's an important inflation report the CPI the uh uh core uh you know price index uh we I always check the moon sometimes the moon will tell you how that economic event is going to play out like a Fed meeting or a jobs report for example the pre the last jobs we had a very important jobs report recently and it came in stronger than expected uh well I think I think actually Venus was trying Venus was trying Saturn that day so that gave us a strong indication right Saturn is jobs Venus trying it came in better than expected so that was a kind of a no-brainer that was an easy softball hit but the moon oftentimes will tell you know the moon squaring Saturn on the day the fed's meeting uh that could really indicate the markets aren't going to like what the FED has to say uh so of course uh there's a lot of different associations for you know for the Moon uh but uh these are the financial ones that we're going to talk about today so Mercury of course is what does mercury represent right he's the messenger of the Gods so let's think about what are some of the significations that we know about Mercury just general astrology U mundane astrology natal chart astrology because those will help us to understand the financial aspect of Mercury right so uh and also what signs you know does Merc Mercury rule uh Mercury rules you know Gemini and Virgo some say it's exalted in Virgo traditionally some say the modern it's exalted in Aquarius it's the only contested exaltation in astrology uh I happen to have mercury in aquarius so I I like to go with the modern interpretation of mercury exalted in Aquarius of course but uh I think both can be true maybe it's exalted in both Virgo and Aquarius uh you know Demetra George gave an interes in talk at norwak this year and she she said you know wh sign houses and and quad and um and regular quadrant houses can both be true uh so I I think Mercury can be exalted in Virgo and Aquarius uh myself personally but uh I don't want to get too controversial here uh so as we know Mercury rules uh you know communication right and and travel so that's really going to inform that's Financial uh you know Mercury is really related to mertile uh and that's really just Commerce and buying and selling you know so it has a strong connection to to to financial markets and all types of uh capitalist markets um it's Market sentiment based on news events of course it rules Information Technology it rules things like FedEx and UPS that uh you know trans transport packages and goods and and and and so forth of course it rules the regular Legacy Media it also rules social Med media uh in addition to Gemini specifically um of course it rules smartphone technology and you know we've got Jupiter uh we've got Jupiter in Gemini right now and that's really I think apple is coming out with a new AI feature on it smartphone technology and when Uranus goes into Gemini I think we're going to see some big uh you know some big Tech new technologies related to phones uh but just talking about Mercury of course it rules cars and travel self-driving cars uh when Uranus goes into Gemini Airlines and all communication uh sectors so when Mercury uh uh you know markets tend to like it when Mercury is in gemini or or Virgo specifically and uh markets you know sometimes you'll see an effect on negative sometimes you'll see a negative effect on markets uh you know in Sagittarius and Pisces when it's debilitated uh so the dignity and debilitation can really play out especially if you get like we're going to have a in December I think uh no in November and December Mercury is going to be debilitated in Sagittarius and and it's going to go retrograde and combust uh so that that you know that that's something you a double testimony that could uh be it'll be interesting to watch and see how financial markets respond to that of course some of these things I'm talking about also will play out like in in the natal charts uh but we'll talk about that of course if you have you know mercury in Gemini for those of you out there you know it's it's it's a classic sign of someone who's highly intelligent processes information very quickly and could be good with uh with technology uh so Mercury also uh mer you know Mercury retrograde oftentimes will make market analysis much more difficult you know I'm sort of you know I put out a monthly and weekly forecast and when Mercury's retrograde you get a lot more fake out moves you get a lot lot of fake technical signals so you uh it's just much more challenging to sort of read the market price action because Mercury retrograde is really a trickster uh also uh something I've noticed quite a bit is that when Mercury's retrograde there's often information that we don't have access to that comes out either just before or just after Mercury goes direct that will oftentimes change the market Behavior or Trend uh so that's something that's really interesting to note as well all right moving right along here uh of course as we said Mercury rules like also air travel uh you know cars and rental car business and just the uh the automotive sector you know as well uh as well as the signs so of course uh Venus is uh Venus is an important uh wealth planet right Venus is one of the main wealth planets Venus really rules all the good things in life you know actually I like Venus I like Venus better than Jupiter sh don't don't tell Jupiter this but I like Venus better than Jupiter uh well especially in a night chart but uh you know I think Venus is a bit more reliable than Jupiter Jupiter's kind of an unreliable Ally sometimes you know Jupiter overpromises and under delivers a lot but Venus is much more reliable you know Venus really represents the good things in life wealth and money and good food and you know beautiful elegant jewelry and art and uh Fine Wines and and and fancy cars and uh fashion and beautiful clothes right and love and and sex also to some degree as well and relationships and Venus rulership of Taurus uh is really more associated with money and wealth right Taurus is an important wealth sign and uh Li is more associated with love and marriage but also the Art Market uh so uh Venus rules copper Venus also rules the fashion business in a natal chart it tells us how we deal with material resources and money especially if it's in Taurus that's very favorable uh it represents wealth and money in banking and the good things in life uh it's where we find comfort you know in life and Venus you know brings wealth and and money when it's when it's well placed those of you might maybe have Venus in the second house that would be quite favorable excuse me I have a just a bit of a very mild sore throat today so bear with me uh when I do uh sometimes I do uh consultations for uh cryptocurrency Traders or stock market Traders and uh for the month sometimes we'll look at the important Venus transits that month if Venus falls into a spot if let's just say say you have Jupiter trying the sun uh I have jup trying the sun uh so if you know in air signs Jupiter's at five Libra my son's at eight aquarius so if if if Venus Falls between five and eight Gemini it kind of makes a grand Trine in my chart and that would be a very favorable period for me to add risk uh when I'm trading the markets uh so we can look at the transits of Venus uh can very short term obviously or transits to your natal Venus you know if you have uh you know Jupiter just stationed at 21 degrees uh Gemini for four weeks let's just say you had Venus at 21 Libra you would have gotten that would have been an amazingly lucky period for three or four weeks so we look at the transits of and to Venus uh for example Bitcoin natal chart has Venus at zero degrees Pisces exalted the ethereum Venus is actually debilitated in Virgo but um uh what's that fixed star that I'm I'm shwing a blank the fixed star at zero Virgo now it used to be at 29 used to be at 29 Leo is that regulus or something like that so there is that uh so that was very that's favorable for ethereum uh of course it rules uh art the Art Market um as we said it rules Rolex watches and Fine Food in high fashion and that kind of stuff as well uh and it rules Beauty you know Beauty art creativity money and marriage uh so Mars Mars is a tricky planet um and I am going to take some questions uh at the end of the planetary uh presentation here before we get into the signs uh so Mars uh you know so let's ask ourselves what does Mars represent in astrology what are some of the basic significations of Mars uh in astrology right it's it's the God of War uh so how does that relate to financial markets um well once again you know as we've talked about at the beginning uh it relates I I believe it relates to Market confidence of course it rules the military industrial sector um and Mars uh you know the red planet was associated with blood uh spilled in battle but Mars can also bring you know blood to the markets right there's that famous saying like buy when blood is running in the streets um they don't mean it literally I think it means when the market you know turns red uh you know and there's Panic that's when you can buy well uh Mars can bring blood uh in the markets and uh we've seen it before it is a malefic planet it really Cuts both ways It's Tricky it can bring Market confidence uh but it in the soft aspects especially uh when it's favorable um Jupiter and Mars try you know and sex styles are very a favorable we have a Mars is about to try uh Uranus right now so Mars is at what 23 cancer today it's in it's in fall uh but the markets have been doing quite well anyway it's about some it's it's approaching a sex style to Uranus at 26 Taurus uh this week and my hunch is that's going to be very favorable for Market confidence uh for especially high tech which is related to Uranus and cryptocurrency markets uh so uh we're looking at that this week uh especially Mars and Ara Mars and Aries is often a quite bullish period for markets uh it's one of the best performing Mars sign placements for the s&p500 and for Bitcoin of course Mars rules guns and gun manufacturers and weapons and the military industrial complex and defense sectors and it rules uh you know steel and iron uh and sharp metal weapons and tools and Mars is exalt you know Mars is exalted in Capricorn Capricorn is the ultimate sign of the markets and money Savvy business you know uh Market trading and investing so that you know that the energy and the confidence of Mars does exceptionally well in the ambitious sign of Capricorn uh which relates to finance and markets so actually Mars has an important role to play um for the markets courage and confidence taking risk if someone has you know Mars and Aries trying Jupiter in their natal chart you know they're going to be a risk taker and that could also include Financial risks uh Mars also of course will Scorpio Scorpios you know we'll talk about that when we get into the sign Scorpio is a little bit more complicated oh man that's funny when that that happens here okay so wait a minute close that and then let's see if I can get back into my slideshow here okay Mars uh that's the medical stuff okay so here's uh uh this is some research by a good friend of mine uh marcelio musings is his tag on Twitter X he's another Financial astrologer I work with and he just coded some programming for the Mars uh planets and signs this is for Bitcoin since uh 2010 uh so basically Bitcoin was created in 2009 so pretty much the entire life cycle of Bitcoin you can see how it's performing um I think it's a little bit cut off here but this is Aries Taurus Gemini uh let me see if we can get out of the uh signs here so Gemini cancer uh Leo Virgo Libra uh you know and so forth but you can see Mars and Aries is the best performing Mars placement by far uh you know uh for cryptocurrency markets especially for Bitcoin now Mars in and Taurus does pretty well too I mean Taurus is the bull it's bullish uh some of the weaker signs uh or Mars and cancer which is in fall but actually uh you know this is this is all about probabilities every time is going to be different and this particular Mars and cancer has actually been quite good for Bitcoin uh so uh you know uh it it it just gives you a sort of a ballpark estimate oh man this keeps happening to me I apologize I don't know something about Zoom how Zoom interfaces with PowerPoint okay so Jupiter of course we know is a very important planet for good luck and good fortune and prosperity uh and also rules wealth uh and you know we know that you know why why does Jupiter rule wealth and prosperity and abundance and good fortune does anybody know sort of why right where did that Association come from so uh I'm going to let you guys sort of Hit the chat box with that for a second but I would say you know it's the largest planet in the sky it's the brightest star it's the brightest it's the brightest star in the sky right and to the Ancients so it was big it represented big things thinking big big dreams and Visions it represents abundance and expansion and prosperity because it's the brightest light in the sky uh Jupiter rules rules tin uh which isn't you know that important these days but it's the greater benefic especially in a day chart abundance Prosperity confidence Good Fortune it rules International foreign you know foreign travel International Trade uh travel sectors inflation you know uh Jupiter we think of about abundance and prosperity and expansion but Jupiter can also can also be INF you know infl and uh you know uh we saw that actually with Jupiter uh with Jupiter and Pisces uh you know dignity wasn't always a good thing in that case h you know Pisces isn't very much of a wealth sign uh so Financial it is the main wealth planet in astrology uh aspects in Natal and from transit Jupiter are very important for profitable uh trading setups it rules crude oil and it's associated with inflationary forces uh and now you know Jupiter's Jupiter's squaring Saturn all year and and inflation's coming down so uh you know maybe that Square from Saturn isn't such a bad thing and as we say it rules that international travel along with the sign you know Sagittarius uh here's just an example of a Bitcoin uh price uh very important Market cycle rally tops over the last decade uh if you can see my slide they all correlated with Jupiter partile uh uh Tres sextiles or conjunctions uh to the Bitcoin natal chart to almost to the day and certainly to the degree so the 2000 November 2013 top Jupiter was at 19 cancer it was trying Bitcoin Uranus at 19 Pisces when that top was made the infamous December 17th bit coin top at $20,000 Jupiter at 13 Scorpio with sextile bitcoin's natal Sun at 13 Capricorn okay pretty much to the week and then the last the previous all-time high uh was in November 2021 Jupiter stationed at 22 Aquarius for four weeks well that just so happens to be the Bitcoin natal Neptune at 22 Aquarius uh the cycle top we made this top we made this year was 735 for Bitcoin in March lo and behold Jupiter at two Gemini was trying bitcoin's natal Mercury at to Aquarius so that every all-time high of Bitcoin ever made was correlated to a Jupiter soft aspect or conjunction pretty remarkable uh this stuff uh you can't make this up I mean if this doesn't blow your mind I don't know what would this is really a mathematical proof of uh Jupiter's ability to bring you know prosperity and and and wealth uh Saturn the greater mfic right um you know Saturn is a difficult planet and it's it's a usually oftentimes a bearish sign for markets uh but you can make money on that too if you know uh that Saturn's coming and is unfavorable uh that could bring a buying opportunity or you could cash out and protect your profits before a Saturn Transit hits um and oops sorry not sure why we lost that there sorry okay Saturn uh you know in the natal chart Saturn is Saturn Jupiter Chine that could be a very favorable uh uh for success and wealth uh Saturn Jupiter squares oppositions could be a little bit more challenging in a natal chart could be some blocks around Prosperity uh so sat rules making money through hard work of course uh you know it does bring challenges in adversity it does bring um limitations and it can bring scarcity in financial astrology you know Saturn can can ask you how are you gonna you know how do you deal with that scarcity Saturn can bring fear into the financial markets here we see in 2018 bare Market we had a series of three Saturn conjunctions to bitcoin Mars and then a Saturn conjunction to the Bitcoin sun and you can see very clearly how the price uh dipped every time uh you see where the um you know the arrows circled in blue those are the three conjunctions to Mars and then the low point in the market uh came with Saturn conjunct the Bitcoin sun and then the market started to move up very quickly after Saturn starts separating from the Bitcoin Sun uh so uh again Jupiter does what you think it would it should do and Saturn also does what you think it should do and so we can use astrology now this isn't you know this isn't necessarily specific enough for short-term trading but it did give you a lot of information about the overall trend for cryptocurrencies that year so Saturn rules lead right the heaviest the heaviest metal it's a key bearish Planet uh it often indicates fear or selloff oh man this is so glitchy I'm sorry um if I move that thing at all then I have to reset the whole slide uh Saturn rules uh pullbacks in the markets however for I was just saying earlier Bitcoin Saturn is actually favorable in the Bitcoin chart for the next 10 weeks it's in a tight sex style to bitcoin's natal Sun so that s this is a great example of Saturn it's going to station at 13 and 12 degrees of Pisces going to sexile bitcoin's natal Sun at 13 Capricorn and uh I don't know if you follow crypto at all but it's it's doing quite well right now uh so Saturn also rules like government regulations or intervention in the market of course it's deflationary uh and it rules like Construction and building and infrastructure Saturn is a key factor in the major market crash alignments uh especially the Saturn Uranus heart aspect Cycles those are the most most important Planetary Cycles for uh major financial crisis is the Saturn uh Uranus hard aspects you look at uh the major Financial crisises of the last 25 years the dot bust in the year 2000 was a Saturn Uranus Square the financial the Great Recession of 2008 was a Saturn Uranus opposition and the market Wipeout of 2022 was a Saturn Uranus Square Saturn Uranus heart aspect cycle it's like a 45e cycle uh the conjunction isn't as important although that's the next one the Tres and the SE stes we'll get a sex St between Saturn and Uranus next year and those tend to be good for the market uh so yeah again Saturn rules a wealth through hard work and long-term investment right Saturn isn't interested in short-term trading uh okay so let's keep moving Saturn of course rules construction uh boundaries borders and hard work uh Uranus uh just check checking the time here so uh the outer planets Uranus Neptune and Pluto obviously these are fundamentally different than the traditional planets because you can't see them you need modern technology to be able to see them so they represent more complex circumstances and psychological con Concepts uh than the traditional planets do and they represent more powerful forces on a greater order of magnitude and the overall technological complexity of the modern world so Uranus uh rules of course Freedom the planet of Freedom it rules lightning and electricity uh and it rules cuttingedge new technologies right uh it can bring sudden dramatic unexpected Market moves surprises uh it can indicate exciting breakouts and it can also indicate volatility and in instability in the market structure higher volatility wild price swings Urus rules big Tech AI stocks like Nvidia and uh paler and Microsoft cuttingedge new technologies which so you know Uranus used to represent the radio and the telephone in the early part of the 20th century now it represents AI technology Quantum Computing nuclear fusion uh and it rules cryptocurrencies and we've seen Uranus and Taurus has been a revolution you know in finance uh uh with cryptocurrencies really becoming a much bigger factor in Global Financial markets as we said the Saturn Uranus cycle is the most important cycle for boom and busk in the stock and the cryptocurrency markets uh a great example of this is the Bitcoin natal chart has a Uranus Saturn Opposition and it's considered one of the most volatile assets let's talk about Neptune real quick here just want to make sure we're moving along on our time uh Neptune of course rules Water Water Resources the oceans uh the surfing industry probably uh the blessings of divine grace Neptune can bring can bring money through uh like Good Karma and divine blessing money that you didn't work for um Neptune isn't interesting you know it can be a positive factor in Market it's a faith also confidence in the markets but somewhat different than the Sun and Mars it's almost like a like like it's like part of some Divine unfolding plan uh Neptune was sex out bitcoin's natal Sun throughout the remarkable rally of 2017 where where Bitcoin went from uh $1,000 to to $20,000 uh Neptune heart aspects can bring confusing circumstances to markets can also bring illusional price action uh where uh the market just continues to go up even when it doesn't make any sense and you can get a sort of a um what did the famous Allan Greenspan said uh irrational exuberance so Neptune can be a bit dangerous uh Neptune rules crude oil Water Resources uh mind altering drugs so Neptune rules the Cannabis sector Neptune rules the legalization of psychedelics and the Psychedelic being used in in medicine today uh what was I saying uh about irrational exuberance um yeah NEP Neptune can can indicate sort of delusional States in markets uh so NEP Neptune and Leo was actually the Roaring 20s and 1929 about in the middle of 1929 Neptune ingressed into the risk averse cautious and practical conservative sign of Virgo and uh you got the the crash of 29 uh sorry I have to reset this again if I move that thing okay last well not last actually Pluto uh you know Pluto can bring breakdown death rebirth breakdown destruction and death and then rebirth and regeneration and evolution in the markets but Pluto also rules the underworlds where the metals and the gems are under the Earth uh so Pluto can rule gold and silver and precious gems uh it rules plutonium uh so uh it rules debt it rules organized crime Industries which is you know a business it rules cartels uh insurance inheritances right money that comes from Death is ruled by Pluto uh Power and strength also dramatic breakdowns in Market structure so you cannot make this up but in 2014 Pluto was conjunct the Bitcoin natal Sun at 13 Capricorn and you got the uh famous events of the hacking of the mount gaau crypto exchange which almost destroyed Bitcoin however a new generation of exchanges rose up out of the ashes and modern cryptocurrency trading with much more secure platforms uh and a much wider variety of options was was reborn and ultimately cryp became back bigger and stronger than ever well that is a classic uh PL Pluto story so Pluto was moving into Aquarius on November 19th that's going to have implications for financial markets and uh uh you know Trends such as AI uh you know Pluto went into Aquarius right in March of 20123 and man we haven't stopped hearing about AI since since then I mean I'm already sick of it and it barely even started yet uh but you're going to be hearing a lot more about AI you're going to be hearing a lot more about Quantum Computing nuclear fusion um and uh these really self-driving car Technologies in Warfare what's become the what huge new factor in Warfare is drones and Aquarius is an air sign that rules new technologies so uh this has a lot of implications for a lot of different uh things of course uh we also know that plut Aquarius could represent popular uprisings and overthrowing of the political uh you know religious or scientific status quo uh so uh Pluto going into Aquarius is going to be a big a big shift uh we're almost I've got a few more slides I want to cover here with the nodes I think is coming next uh Chiron I'm I'm just going to skip over the nodes are very important in in uh Financial astrology they're very important in financial astrology uh you know the the nodes are interesting they're some of the most controversial points in astrology right uh the schools don't agree on what the nodes mean I mean the uh you know the uh evolutionary astrology says one thing yian astrology says another viic says another helenistic says another uh but we're just going to touch on them real quick here I think you can you can sort of think of the North Node as related to Taurus it holds on to things that adds energy the North Node is very good for money wealth success Fame glory and material success in the material world the South node is not great in financial astrology it can bring great spiritual blessings I truly believe the South node is not bad but in financial astrology it takes away wealth it brings karmic debts uh and uh it yeah it's negative for financial markets and also the natal chart you know the north the South node conjunct Jupiter or Venus can weaken uh the the worldly material uh success of those benefits uh but it can bring great spiritual blessings so again uh so the North Node is is very good for for fame for money and and fame in financial astrology the South node is is not great but it can also if you're a buyer looking for a buying opportunity in markets the South actually could bring a great buying opportunity um so uh you know we're going to have the North Node is going to conjunct what Saturn and Neptune pretty soon so that's going to be interesting the South node um so that yeah that will strengthen Saturn um and uh you know uh Dimitra George talks about the the North Node it makes benefics more benefic but it also makes malefics more malefic uh so there will bring out uh I think it can bring out positive and negative qualities of Saturn in that upcoming one too um so I was just looking at um Elon musk's chart the richest man in the world I wanted to point out just some really quick practical things he's got a partile sex style from Jupiter at 27 Scorpio to Pluto at 27 Virgo and that's a wealth aspect right Pluto rules the Underworld the riches Jupiter rules prosperity and abundance this is an aspect of power Fame influence uh wealth and so forth like that so uh that is my that is my presentation on the planets let's just take a let's just take a few questions here before we get into the signs sure so I encourage everyone to pop your questions into the Q&A box I saw some good ones in the chat just want to make sure everybody sort of understood is tracking everything I'm saying everything makes sense great the first question is about your choice of house system do you use poery because of financial astrology or because of that's how you were trained no my my first astrology teacher was Laura Nandan which some of you may know she's a very famous astrologer and her family started norwak and I uh got into astrology in the very late 90s early 2000s and used to go into her bookstore astrology at all and I study and her mother's very uh important in the founding of Kepler College I understand uh so uh and she uses pyy so uh that's what I started with and I've just stuck with it the whole time it's really the only house system that makes sense to me I like the quadrant systems uh I didn't even know about whol sign houses until about five or six years ago right I'm not a traditional helenistic astrologer um and uh I I've never really been able to make a transition to whol sign houses I want the ascendant to be the first house cuff I want the mid heaven to be the 10th house C I just like it nice like that but I like I don't like placidus where the houses are all different sizes I like how poery just divides the quadrants are just naturally going to be different sizes depending on the latitude and longitude but I like how the houses are all the same sizes within the quadrant I just want the quadrants equally divided I think that's a very nice elegant solution to the question of the house systems uh and so you know I honestly I don't think it matters that much which house system you use you just pick one and be consistent and that's really what I've done I've just used it for 25 years and so when you get a reading from me you get po Frey and that's just the way it is every once in a while I sort of compare what would this look like with whol sign houses is how much would this change it infuriates me if you get you know like an ascendant degree that's very late in the sign like 27 28 29 and then it's still the first house the entire sign it just uh it's never made any sense to me but uh I think they're all true you know it's not uh which one is the right one they all work they all they can all be true um and you know so uh porfy is just the one that makes the most sense to me personally great this next question is about if I understand it correctly it's one wondering about the moon in Taurus which is exalted but what happens if it's say on the malevolent fixed star algol so I think you did talk a little bit about fixed Stars you referred to regulus do you yeah I mean that's interesting because of course Uranus is on algol right now so we've been talking a lot about algol however it hasn't been as malefic as it was in in July you know we had the assassination attempt on Trump and then Biden stepped down it's very chaotic and uh and you know certainly the Middle East has been very very violent and algol is associated with war and conflict and violence however you might notice that Vesta is now trining Uranus and alol this week just throwing that out there I think it might be mitigating and also Mars's sex denying it uh what does that mean I mean yeah I mean I don't know what that means for wealth uh Alo is obviously a very difficult star I mean considered by some the most malefic fix star but other people say it as positive indications for like feem you know feminism and and standing up and fighting against the tyranny of the patriarchy uh so yeah I mean that's I'm not an expert in the fixed stars but uh um I mean yeah that's an interesting same thing with Venus you know Venus has doile and Taurus but at 26 degrees you know it certainly would be affected by alol to some degree great and Michael asks how would you define planets combust and their impact on Financial astrology yeah that's a good question um I mean there there is a tendency for when planets go into maximum combustion that the markets can sometimes sell off if we're talking about the financial markets and then when they go kazimi which I Define as just under one degree that seems to work for practical purposes uh the markets will rebound and you'll get a rally and then they'll kind of dump again or flatten out when it goes back into the combust again uh so certainly we've seen that um you know if a planet is in has dignity through exaltation or domicile it can be somewhat protected for from combustion if it's debilitated in combust then it's more problematic I think uh so there's there's lots of factors is it mitigated by a an angle from a benic is it is it worsened by a hard aspect from a malefic but yeah I mean combustion is real Mercury combust I've seen Bitcoin sell off many times especially if it's like debilitated in Pisces and combust sometimes you'll get a sharper selloff uh but kazmi usually are quite favorable the previous one was kazimi Mercury kazmi con junk the South node I don't know if you remember that one just happened in Libra and the cryptocurrency markets did not like that one on the south node totally like nullified the kazmi effect so uh there's always a lot of different factors to consider but combust is um the data and the research we've done is that it's generally speaking an unfair aable for markets and the markets will sell off in a natal chart you know yeah if Jupiter's combust that that has that has implications if Venus is combust uh that has implications for its ability to generate uh wealth and prosperity but again there could be many other factors so just that alone wouldn't necessarily be enough uh to say great the next question one more question one more okay we have one more speaking of Mars Trudy asks what is your forecast for markets when it retrogrades later this year uh yeah that's a good question um I have I haven't uh I have to go back over the research I don't I couldn't speak to that off the top of my head um I have to look at the research for that I mean I like Mars and Leo I mean Mars and Leo is like hot fiery Leo is a sign of gambling speculation and risk uh so Mars and Leo to me speaks of of you know good for Market just generally um I mean one thing we're looking at here uh where I'm researching my 2025 forecast I mean Mercury goes retrograde on what November 23rd or something uh and then Mars goes retrograde on December 6 or 7th Mars stays retrograde till February 23rd then Venus goes retrograde on March 1st till April 14th so between November 23rd and April 14th we've got backtack Mercury Mars Venus Mercury retrogrades uh so it's the question isn't really what is the forecast for Mars retrograde it's like holy crap we've got an incredibly extended period with a backtack Mars and Venus retrograde I mean I just think to 2025 is going to start off in very difficult Waters uh and it's going to be very hard I think it's you know that just doesn't sound that great for markets especially Venus is going to be Venus is going to be debilitated in Aries and combust retrograde and then it will go into exaltation and Pisces might be better but there a lot of retrogradation between November and late November and mid April uh so it's it's a bigger picture than just Mars retrograde very complex I think all right let's go to the sorry sure I was just gonna ask one additional question about retrogrades do you tend to see pullbacks with them or decreases or is it more nuanced than that yeah with which planet and what sign and what other the aspects and H you know yeah I mean yeah I think Mercury retrograde let's just say Mercury retrograde I've done significant research on Mercury retrogrades effect on bitcoin price action it's 100% non-directional uh Bitcoin can go up down or flat so Mercury retrograde doesn't tell you anything about Direction but what it does tell you is about the price action becomes more difficult to analyze you'll get more f break out moves and you think it's going to be breaking out on a bullish rally and then all of a sudden it sharp pulls back you think it's dumping and it's going to crash and then boom it rallies back it's a lot more of this trickster type of thing uh also you'll get glitches and breakdowns on the exchange and hack hacking events is on cryptocurrency exchanges during Mercury retrograde uh you'll get whipsaw price action around the station retrograde and the station direct so it's not like is the market going to go up or is it going to go down it's like there's all these other things that will happen during a Mercury retrograde period uh so now it can oftentimes Venus retrograde uh can is you know is associated with major directional Market Trend reversals okay uh but that's so if a Market's been in a very very strong bullish Trend up Venus retrograde will sometimes indicate a very sharp correction pullback down but also like the 2008 financial crash the stock market was down for two years in a row well the reversal rally uh the trend reversal back up into the 10-year bull market started during a Venus retrograde so Venus retrograde isn't always bad sometimes it will bring a trend reversal to the upside if a Market's been trending down for two years a Venus retrograde can bring a a reversal to the upside and a new bull market Trend can begin all right let's go to the signs we're going to have to go a little faster on the signs these are the things you need to really understand about the signs and I think we're goingon to said that Kepler I'm going to send them my slid so you can ask Kepler college to get a copy of these slides uh you know we talk about the elements we talk about the Cardinal fix immutables uh we you know got to understand the glyphs so Aries Aries is the God of War uh and conf and competition also uh which markets is a very competitive place and uh Aries again is ruled by Mars uh Venus you know is in detriment uh oops oh man this is so frustrating when I move that thing okay let's go back to that uh so Financial uh you know we showed you that you know Mars and Aries Aries is the ram but it's actually one of the most bullish signs for stocks uh and crypto of course it also rules a market confidence uh the military and defense sectors the military industrial complex very similar to Mars gun manufacturing solar power as the sun is exalted in Aries uh why is the sun exalted in Aries because the sun it's the first sign of spring the sun is actually literally getting warmer and the light is increasing uh and it relates to that kind of upward moving expansion and growth and confidence and risk uh you know Aries is is a sign that is a risk taker and markets like markets are you know stocks and crypto are considered risk on you know markets uh yes Aries is a sign of incredibly strong vitality and confidence for markets some of you might remember that long six-month period of Mars and Aries it was an incredibly powerful rally for the markets during the pandemic in in 2020 uh so people with a lot of Aries placements they might have a high risk tolerance uh for trading and investing Jupiter and Aries was also very favorable for stocks and crypto uh you know wealth planet Venus is debilitated in Aries Venus and Aries square that Saturn Pluto conjunction uh did correlate did trigger the dramatic four five week market crash in February and March of of 2020 uh Taurus of course is the bull when we talk about bullish uh you know Taurus is the ultimate wealth sign Taurus is a sign uh that is associated with gains Prosperity holding on to things let me move my thing here holding on you know uh Taurus likes to accumulate uh accumulates wealth profits increase livestock cattle grains of course it rules Banking and money also in addition to cancer and and the Moon it rules real estate like physical things physical actual property uh you know uh real estate Investments real Investments uh it's a sign of you know fertility and wealth the bull has been associated with wealth you know for millennium and of course it's ruled by Venus uh which likes comfort and luxury and the good things in life and the Moon is exalted there too the moon loves beautiful things and and accumulates wealth uh and we've seen you know with Uranus and Taurus we we've seen um you know a huge uh a huge financial revolution in cryptocurrencies uh especially since the the the final Ingress which is which was in 2019 and uh so we're just yeah we're seeing you know a lot of changes in how money works with Uranus and Taurus right um you know we're seeing a lot less use of cash um and and even credit cards a lot more digital payments whether it's cryptocurrencies PayPal zel uh venmo uh whatever whatever it is it's it's a lot faster uh you know digital digital money uh Gemini you know is an important sign in financial has a lot of financial implications it rules Information Technology Uranus and Gemini is going to be revolutionary for information technology we may see self-driving cars smartphones are going to be even more powerful uh computer Technologies we might see Quantum Computing I mean Uranus and Gemini and Pluto and Aquarius you're going to see some massive technological breakthroughs of course traditional and social media you know some of you may remember when Mars spent that long what was it like six months in Gemini uh Elon Musk was trying to take over Twitter and there was a lot of battles around his takeover of Twitter ruled by Gemini social media uh president former president Trump you know he's got the sun conjunct Uranus and the North Node in Gemini president Trump was the first really politician especially president that figured out how to use Twitter and social media to get his message across to get his branding and promotion across whatever your feelings about him he was an absolutely genius at using social media this is his Sun Uranus in Gemini uh and of course it rules news events and and and travel now Gemini is very fickle Gemini is the most fickle sign it's a very nervous jumpy sign um so Jupiter and Gemini you know we've seen some some jumpy market conditions mercury in Gemini anything the moon in Gemini the market can be very nervous and fickle changing a lot sentiment can change very quickly uh so Jupiter and Gemini is is good I think for you know uh for social media uh you know meta especially I think meta's been doing very well with Jupiter and Gemini Apple's been doing very well with Jupiter and Gemini um phone sales um and uh yeah trying to think of some other some other things that have come out with uh with Jupiter and Gemini but um let's uh let's keep going here so uh okay cancer the crab rules homes land in real estate rules silver uh people with very strong placements like the moon in cancer the north no in cancer um Jupiter and cancer they they may have a they may make a lot of money through real estate Investments maybe stocks or crypto is not their thing uh you know rules food the restaurant business uh rules businesses related to child care rules bus businesses related to counseling and therapy uh Leo uh the sign of the lion and Leo you know represents the king's uh politics uh let me get to the financial implications here so Leo has an association with gold based on the sun now Leo is the is the sign of risk gambling trading and speculation Leo loves to play the markets Leo loves to take risk Leo is a quintessentially a Trader sign uh and it just has a taste for risk of course it's going to be ruling solar power a lot here um and it rules Hollywood and and movies and entertainment and rules Kings and heads of states and political Intrigue and and so forth and so on uh so we use that example of the Roaring 20s uh the the the 10 year long de long stock market boom Neptune in Leo uh maybe there was a little bit of fantasy overhyped valuations in the markets and that all Came Crashing Down When Neptune moved into Virgo that's one of my great examples of the the difference between Leo and Virgo uh we don't have any major outer planet activity uh right now in in in Leo uh Virgo you know Virgo is the opposite very much the opposite it's a very conserv ative practical sign it doesn't like to gamble or take a lot of risk uh it rules agriculture the Harvest it rules the business of health care and nursing and Medicine uh so biotech could do well certain placements in in Virgo uh you know no notice that both wealth planets V Venus and Jupiter are debilitated in Virgo although Venus I think does have some triplicity rulership it's not a in some I mean it's an earthy practical sign so it does like uh you know material ESS through hard work it's not particularly a wealth oriented sign I mean Virgo likes to work behind the scenes and service for the greater good uh and wealth you know similar to Saturn in some ways Virgo like that wealth that comes from hard work over time and and being very practical and not taking a lot of big big risks of course it also rules like the Arts and craftsmanship fine craftsmanship is ruled is ruled by Virgo so money that comes from uh very very fine craftsmanship but it's not a great sign just for the markets in general it's a kind of a lower you know confidence sign coming uh after uh the high confidence sign of Leo uh Libra you know rules the Art Market uh of course it's a love sign it rules like relationships and marriage it rules the business of weddings and marriage which is a very lucrative business uh it rules the Art Market art Arts as an investment it rules nfts in the cryptocurrency markets which are a form of digital art uh it rules art as an investment it rules the businesses of beauty uh and spas and salons uh you know uh and also like jewelry and fashion uh it rules the law it rules all business Partnerships and like accounting um and you know Venus has dignity here so there's there's wealth potential with Venus and Libra I'm going to go a little bit quicker here uh Scorpio you know Scorpio can rule gold and Sil silver medals diamonds and gems that are buried into the Earth but it's opposite the sign of Taurus Taurus is a sign of gains Scorpio is actually considered a sign of loss Scorpio is letting go but lo you know Scorpio is a sign of loss The Eighth House can be a a house of loss the eighth sign uh Scorpio represents losses it's also represents the business of organized crime um inheritances money that comes from a death or loss taxes debt other people's money Scorpio does have a talent for using other people's money to make wealth so it's borrowing money to buy a house borrowing money sometimes can be a smart investment um as long as the risk is is is managed properly but uh scor yeah Scorpio is not you know Venus is debilitated in Scorpio it's not inherently a wealth sign of course it could depend on the placements um you know if you had if you had Jupiter and Scorpio that was try uh you know Venus and Pisces that that would not necessarily be bad um it really depends on various various factors uh Sagittarius of course is kind of a wealth sign it's a sign of optimism and luck uh it likes risk the fire signs in general like to take risk Aries Leo and Sagittarius uh they they're confidence they bring confidence to the market they bring confidence to our natal charts they bring a a sense of a higher risk tolerance and a little bit of a gamble or speculation uh Jupiter of course has dignity uh in Sagittarius and it's it's a very favorable lucky wealth placement optimism Prosperity expansion Good Fortune it could be a little overconfident Jupiter and Sagittarius can overpromise and underd deliver uh so uh you know Sagittarius isn't always good it can represent wasting of resources overconfidence with our resources mismanaging our re spreading resources out too thinly and ending up Overexposed uh so it's not all fun in games but generally speaking you know Sagittarius is kind of happy happy gol lucky it does rule international travel a great example of this was during the pandemic you might remember well the North Node went into Gemini and the South node went into Sagittarius for a year and a half there was almost zero international travel during the South node in Sagittarius international travel was really shut down um so that's very interesting it shows you how uh you know how difficult problematic the South node can be uh for the sectors that are ruled by that sign uh you know right now we see diploma South nodes in Libra diplomacy and negotiation are completely disabled uh with a lot of Wars raging around the world and really zero effective negotiation and diplomacy going on uh Capricorn uh of course is a very important Financial sign it is a wealth sign it's a ruler of business and commerce and financial markets it's business savvy it's good at buying and selling and managing money it has an innate awareness of how to work with money in markets uh it's very you know very practical it's very Capricorn is a sign of great ambition Great accomplishments well through hard work and smart long-term investment not through luck or speculation like Sagittarius uh it rules Construction and building uh corporate you know and government power government regulations of the markets also it's you know associate with efficiency ambition hard work and productivity Aquarius uh rules Hightech right the modern rulership is is is is Uranus uh the traditional r rer is Saturn uh it rules high-tech you know Aquarius is the best sign for cryptocurrencies imagine that Venus in Aquarius has been one of the most reliable placements for cryptocurrencies to do well Jupiter in Aquarius was a fantastic rally for cryptocurrencies crypto loves Aquarius Aquarius loves crypto uh futuristic Technologies Pluto and Aquarius uh man you're going to get sick of hearing about AIS and the technology going to change so fast over the next 20 years uh it's going to be super hard to to keep up some of my uh investment ideas not Financial advice just ideas to consider Quantum Computing um of course AI boom is going to continue with Pluto and Aquarius uh nuclear technology actually because the AI is going to be using so much electricity the big AI guys like Microsoft Google and Amazon they want to keep their carbon footprint down so they're investing big in nuclear uh so you might want to consider some exposure to to nuclear Investments uh plut Aquarius should be favorable for for cryptocurrencies of course it's a 20 year long period so there's going to be ups and downs and changes in the markets of course we're also going to see the downside of you know is you know AI going to destroy Humanity uh well we're going to find out probably with with Pluto and Aquarius uh last but not least we've got Pisces uh Pisces rules uh you know crude oil and water resources and the oceans uh it's not a wealth sign Pisces uh doesn't really care about material wealth Pisces is looking for like spiritual Transcendence of the material world uh Jupiter and Pisces was terrible for financial markets in 2022 is one of the worst years for markets uh so uh yeah it's kind of a renunciation of wealth in the pursuit of the spiritual or the Divine uh you know but but again sometimes it brings a sort of wealth through through divine blessing uh and it rules the business of like music and poetry and dance and Pisces also rules Hollywood uh make believe and magic and sci-fi and fantasy and and and stuff like that also um so uh that's pretty much it we made it through all the planets and all the signs and we have a little bit of time left over here uh so we could now have a bit of a discussion questions and comments and so forth like that sorry I did race through the signs a little bit faster and and you are going to make them available to participants correct people have been asking about that so we'll getent out to yes or well Kepler is I'll make them available to Kepler and Kepler W make them available to whoever would like to check those out and also you can you can purchase my full course that goes through all the signs planets houses aspects uh major historical Market cycles and I have a full uh introductory course that's 15 hours of instruction on financial astrology and I use all that show all the techniques that I use including progressions and transits and uh and natal charts for IPOs and um for uh uh for cryptocurrency uh natal Inception charts and we go over all the techniques that we use great and to the point of inception charts a few people are asking in the Q&A how do you determine the dates and times you use for different stocks cryptos yeah I mean you just have to do the research uh I mean I have research assistant I don't always do it on myself but yeah I mean you can generally speaking find the date of an IPO chart I mean you know do you use the Incorporation date to use the IPO chart uh uh you have to sort of do some research Mo most I think people use the IPO chart for the track the stock price and uh you know uh sometime now getting the exact time is is is not always easy if you're doing it in real time you can you can see when it the first live trade actually hits the market uh you know for an example uh coinbase I think hit the market at like 13 5 p.m. when we did that IPO we were tracking it live but if you're going back to like the Nvidia thing goes all the way back to the 1990s I mean the famous astrologer Bill Meridian I think he says to use just the 9:30 Market open time for the ascendant uh so there's some debate uh again like a lot of astrology there's no absolute truth as to which is the best thing to use it's kind of up to you now for cryptocurrency it's a little bit you have to be able to track like we use the uh like for Bitcoin we use the Genesis block chart we can even take a look at that chart you know real quick here uh and I'll just use that as an example because that's a lot of my work is based on the Bitcoin and I'm using the Luna astrology software here which is a nice Cloud software doesn't have the full everything of like Astro gold or solar fire but it's it's a nice sort of easy accessible Cloud software if you use the code crypto dois you'll get a discount on this software this is the Bitcoin Inception chart the we're lucky because the Genesis block for Bitcoin was time stamped for January 3rd 2009 at 6:15 P PM Greenwich meantime uh we don't know the location but I've rectified it to London uh we'll never know for sure but this seems to be very accurate and predictive it's timestamped on the Genesis block so we use the Genesis block of the blockchain same for ethereum same for salana uh uh those ones I don't give out they're proprietary but you can do your own research on the web and they're all blockchain Explorer uh you can locate the exact times location is is often a lot harder to to find because where is it you know where where where where where is it something that's created online located uh but the Bitcoin chart is very interesting uh you know it has a stellium of Mars Pluto and the Sun uh this is the you know I've always said the Bitcoin Shar is The Terminator this is just a fiercely competitive you know Mars exalted uh in a night chart conjunct Pluto conjunct the sun this is a fiercely Unstoppable thing and when I saw that um I knew right away that this thing was going to dominate uh the global financial markets over the next decade so sometimes just looking at a natal chart boom you'll get an Insight like that and I started a immediately putting money into Bitcoin back in 2017 as soon as I saw the natal chart I said this thing cannot be stopped nothing can stop Mars Pluto sun and Capricorn in a night chart Mars exalted in a night chart in in in in with Pluto and the sun I don't it can be slowed down it can be temporarily halted but nothing can stop this thing it's got Venus exalted also in a night chart which is nice uh it's Jupiter's not that that good it's it's in uh it's in fall and anoretic and it's out of sect it's superer is a bit weak but uh uh it's a Leo Rising which is also you know quite strong so I think the you know the the Bitcoin natal chart is quite quite uh a great example of a very very strong uh Inception chart for an asset uh we can we can look at an we can look at another one here um I'm going to throw up uh let me see actually is there any more questions while we do this I mean there's there's several some of them are more pertinent than others another chart might answer the questions as you okay let's just look at another chart real quick here I'm going to throw up the Nvidia chart uh which of course is the AI leader it's been driving the stock market rally all year uh and this is probably the most important company in the world right now it's Al performed Bitcoin it's outperformed every other company in the stock market uh it's a two or three trillion dollar company now and uh you know this is interesting I mean it's got four planets in Aquarius the the sign of Cutting Edge new technology the sign that's most associated with AI uh and uh so it's an interesting chart it's got actually Jupiter exalted in Pisces you know I mean it's got the AC right the ascendant is in pis AC so the AC Lord is Jupiter you know with dignity conjunct the ascendant using the 9:30 a.m.

Market open uh for this chart uh and uh this is a very uh this is a very powerful very powerful chart uh as well so uh it's got the sun conjunct Uranus in Aquarius I think which is very good uh for a Cutting Edge new technology chart it's got the sun conjunct Neptune which is interesting we wouldn't I wouldn't ordinarily think of that as being super favorable but uh and that's going to get transited by Pluto so this is very interesting uh also Venus is on the south node I also wouldn't have not necessarily thought that that would have been favorable uh you know so sometimes uh things are more complex than the theory would allow for but and maybe maybe this isn't the correct time you know because I don't know it was back in you know the chart for this is January 22nd 1999 of course New York Stock Exchange and I I think uh yeah 9:30 a.m.

Market open um but uh it has uh it has Pluto TR the moon uh that's a favorable it has Venus sextile Saturn it has Venus Trine Mars uh so there's you know there's there's some good favorables here so anyway that's just another example of using an IPO chart Great thank thank you and there some people are wondering about asteroids do you use asteroids in your analysis I don't actually use them but I do I use Vesta because I've studied a bit with um Christine Skinner uh she's my favorite um Financial astrologer and I I I uh she's my personal astrologer I do consults with her if you don't know who she is she's a legendary Financial astrologer in the UK she's written numerous books on financial astrology lectures and teaches all over the world on Financial astrology over 40 years experience and she says Vesta is the trader asteroid so if you I always have Vesta if you see my my charts on my Luna uh not on my astro.com but on my Luna I always have Vesta just because I like to track it I like to keep track of what it's doing if we just look at what it's doing now uh go to today's chart you'll see it just hit 26 and it's making a lovely uh a try to Uranus and the moon today as we do this seminar but I think Vesta I think Vesta trining Uranus is somehow mitigating alol a bit uh so I I pretty much only I use Chiron and Vesta and I use Chiron more for medical astrology uh but like we just had a full moon conjunct Chiron I mean I don't know about you guys but that was pretty heavy I felt that uh you know uh so yeah I use Chiron andesta I mean how many points can you keep track you know when you get and start using asteroids and fixed stars and it's like you know some at some point it just becomes too much information so everybody for theel how much information can I can I use have you integrated astrocartography into with financial astrology to no not at all I mean I like I use where's a good place for people to live where's a good place to go travel that kind of thing I haven't used it for financial at all personally and someone else asked sort of in that vein have you experimented with astrological remediation maybe for wealth blocks in the chart or debilities financial too much not too much I mean I'm not really an astrom magic guy I mean I think it's I I'm not well-versed and trained in astrom Magic and talismans and Remediation it's something I'd like to know more about I mean you have to go to people who are really good at that right like uh Austin Copic and um uh uh what's her name down in La uh that helenistic astrologer uh I'm just drawing a blank on on her name right now she's a very good at astrom magic I mean yeah I mean I think that stuff can work I'm just personally not that not that um not that knowledgeable uh about it I mean I think there's like wealth certain mantras you can do and wealth practices you can do like uh uh for example I do recommend to my clients let's say uh that's a good question actually let's say someone has you know Saturn a partile opposing their natal Jupiter right so that's going to impose some kind of limitations on their ability to generate uh prosperity and have confidence in themselves and uh so I would recommend hey what maybe do once a month uh do a like a um a a l practice right that's just like a very common especially in in vidc or yoga or Indian Hinduism it's a Prosperity practice you can make prayers to Lakshmi and chant the Lakshmi Mantra and make offerings to Lakshmi um and that can help to open up blockages uh you know so that that's just one example of what you could do making you know making a practice to of generosity giving to the poor and the uh you know whatever your favorite Charities are that can actually help inre your good karma of course uh yeah I mean certainly like if you go to a reputable astrom magic practitioner you could get a Prosperity Talisman that could help with your natal chart or viic astrology you could get the correct gemstone to help open up some problem in your chart as well I think those are all valid uh things I don't know if I answered the question yeah that's great and some people are asking about the upcoming Saturn Neptune conjunction with a North Node how what are your feelings on that and the markets well uh certainly I mean Saturn and Neptune are going to go into Aries and they're going to get within about 15 minutes of a degree in 2005 uh 2025 uh and uh yeah I mean the zero to one Aries is the world access point um and and they're going to make an exact conjunction at zero Aries in 202 six and I'm very concerned about that uh I think a lot of astrologers are looking to that as a potential the next really major crisis Point um and uh you know that's it's also associated with big upheaval and political unrest in Russian politics um and so that's something that we're keeping an eye on uh that's something we should be look at and yeah I mean that that's it's definitely the next big concern we've got Saturn Uranus well now Pluto on November 19th going into Aquarius and then we have we have uh you know uh well Jupiter Saturn Uranus Neptune and Pluto are all going to be changing signs over the next two years that's an enormous amount of shift it's going to be extremely chaotic um and uh yeah I mean I think especially for cryptocurrency markets I don't like Saturn or nept especially don't like Saturn in Aries right because uh if we go back to this Bitcoin chart here I'll you know for Bitcoin I've been I've been thinking about this specifically because a lot of my work is is forecasting Bitcoin you know Mar market trends uh and you know you can check out my subscription service on patreon for that stuff but I'll just since somebody did ask about this specifically I'll sort of show you uh you know let's throw this is the Bitcoin natal chart I'm going to throw up the inceptions the the transits here and we're going to go ahead to 20 uh 26 um although let's let's go back a few months so uh just looking at the Bitcoin natal chart I'll show you something real quick here in January I actually like this in January um you're G to get let me see where's where's our Jupiter Jupiter okay so let's let me just refine this here so Jupiter's going to go to uh okay let's see it's going retrograde so in early January Jupiter over here is going to hit whoops Jupiter's going to hit 19 cancer and it's going to make a Trine uh to the Bitcoin Uranus at 19 Pisces well that's the same shine that it made in the 2013 all-time high so I think that could be quite good for Bitcoin there but then Saturn and Neptune go into Aries and look what happens here uh they're going to square the stellium all year Saturn is going to square the stellium here we're just let me go month by month uh Saturn boom you know it's going to go into Aries and it's going to square uh the Bitcoins uh natal Pluto Mars and sun and it's going to square Bitcoin Pluto once Bitcoin Mars once it's going to square the Bitcoin Sun uh three times I don't know if you can see my screen here but let me yeah right here so Saturn Saturn and Aries it's going to square this Bitcoin stellium throughout 2026 and so we're very concerned about that the data on those Saturn hard aspects is very bad it's very bearish the Wipeout years for Bitcoin were 2014 2018 2022 and 2026 falls into the four-year Bitcoin cycle as a potential Wipeout year the astrology suggests it can happen of course you've also got Neptune is going to be squaring that stellium there so Bitcoin could lose a lot of its luster in 2026 that also makes sense why does that also makes sense because the Bitcoin tops have historically come about 18 months after the having the having was in April of 2024 18 months after puts us into to quarter 4 2025 okay so if we get the high comes in in late 2025 or January 2026 then we could see another one of those big famous Infamous 80 90% Wipeout years uh for Bitcoin but still the long-term trajectory always continues to be up so um that would probably most likely be a buying opportunity but coming back to that Saturn Neptune conjunction in February there could be some type of crisis that shakes the markets so yeah your your questioner is right to highlight that as really the next major now H will it will we see a major crisis on the initial Ingress in 2025 you know the initi you know Uranus initial Ingress into Aries the first couple of times didn't do anything I mean I I won't say it didn't do anything you did get some things I think like the you did get some things like with the Arab Spring but when it when Uranus made the final Ingress to zero Aries that day you got the tsunami in Japan and the Fukushima disaster so like the final Ingress is often where you get the really really big crisis events so I'm really looking at November 19th of Pluto's final Ingress into um plut into Aquarius for some major activity so will the Saturn Neptune conjunction activate in 2025 or will we have to wait till February 2026 we don't really know the answer but you have to be cautious going into that in 2026 and it doesn't look good for Bitcoin and that could also be correlating with the stock market too um stock market's been up since October 2022 bottom and how long is that going to continue uh we just have to see uh I know uh yeah let's take some more questions uh are we let's take one or two more questions and then we can wrap it up sure people are wondering about what software you use for trading uh like what do you mean I mean crypto soft like what kind of I mean there's trading view which is like how you sort of track the markets uh let show you that I mean so you've got like most Traders are using trading views so here's the Bitcoin price chart on trading view this is the daily price action um you know it's just really had a big breakout rally uh for actual placing trades I mean you have to have an account on a cryptocurrency exchange or a an investment you know Bank like Fidelity or Schwab or something like that for cryptocurrencies you could use coinbase or Gemini uh or binance which are the big exchanges in the United States I mean so we're actually placing trades or Investments now Bitcoin you can buy in the stock market there's ETFs for Bitcoin you don't have to go through cryptocurrency exchange anymore there's uh here is IIT this is the uh Bitcoin trust I think it's yeah this is one of them there's uh let me see there's also fbtc which is Fidelity's Bitcoin trust Fidelity uh or origin Bitcoin trust there's bitx this is a a 2X Bitcoin this is a leverage Bitcoin uh trade on the stock market so there's lots of different ways uh to trade a Bitcoin now it used to be you just had have a cryptocurrency account exchange but now you can actually do it just through a regular stock market investment account buy the ETF there's like an ETF for everything now right you can buy a nuclear ETF a Bitcoin ETF an ethereum ETF um you know a gold ETF uh whatever uh there's an ETF for everything but for person sorry go ahead oh go ahead another person asks about um contact between an IPOs chart and a natal chart do you look at that at all when you're considering investment yeah I mean it's interesting I mean my for example the Bitcoin let's go to the back to the Bitcoin chart the thing is that you know you're not you're not marrying that asset so it's not really sinistry you know you shouldn't get too attached to the sinistry of it um let's remove the TR just as an example that is that is interesting I mean I'm pretty much let's say one of its leading Financial astrologers for Bitcoin well it just so happens my son is at eight Aquarius my mid Heaven is eight Aquarius and my Mercury is 10 Aquarius well the bitcoin's North Node uh just happens to be uh at eight depending on whether you use the the true or the mean at nine Aquarius bitcoin's North Node is on my natal Sun Mercury and midheaven and my job is being analyzing you know Bitcoin market trends so you know you that's pretty that's pretty interesting uh and um I'm trying to think if I have something else like that my jup yeah I mean I don't get too hung up about that I mean I think that stuff is sometimes interesting or useful I mean but I wouldn't I don't really you know I don't really pay that much attention uh I don't pay that much attention to it but I mean it it can be used sometimes for example I mean there could be times when would use that let's say yeah I mean so for example when Venus goes into Aquarius it's good for usually good for crypto well it hits bitcoin's North Node and my son so that's information I can use that's probably a good short-term long trade that I could make money on just on that Venus Transit so it's interacting with my chart and it's interacting Venus in Aquarius is generally good for crypto it's specifically good for Bitcoin when it hits the North Node it's specifically good for me when it hits my son Mercury conjunction so you could use that information to actually place a trade yeah so if you had let's just say you had your son was at uh let's say your son was at uh 13 degrees Taurus well your son would be trying the Bitcoin sun and so if something hit let's just say Venus hit 13 Virgo well that would try your son and the Bitcoin son that would probably be a good day to place a trade uh you know well a few days before that happens you bet bet long Bitcoin goes up when that hits and then you close out the trade and make lock in some money so you could use those you could use those sinistry aspects like that takes a lot of energy in time to map all that stuff out though uh but especially if it was an outer planet Transit uh that could be also that could be obviously like if you know okay uh well you know Jupiter's or let's say Uranus is gonna try my Venus at the same time it's trying the Bitcoin sun again that's useful information for a Trader to use um and and and and conversely if the South node is going to hit your natal Jupiter at the same time it's hitting something in the Bitcoin chart uh you would know to probably take risk off the table and protect your your profits and those are all very good advice I would also ask this other person's question about short-term investments in the next few months and the Mars Pluto opposition I'm kind of wrapping those two together what are your thoughts on that um well I don't you know I'm not a licensed financial advisor I'm not really going to give you would have to really subscribe to my personal subscription service I'm not going to give any uh Financial advice here uh on the markets right now I I am concerned about that Mars opposition to Pluto especially for Bitcoin uh I do think that could be a very sharp short-term pullback uh so I will say that because it's opposing bitcoin's natal Jupiter and progress Sun uh and Mars transits I don't know if you guys noticed but Mars transits are really slowing down so Mars transits are taking three to four days now instead of one or two so that could be good it could also be bad I'm I'm bullish going into this Mars Uranus sex style I think it's going to be very I think next week could be could be very good for the markets around that aspect Mars opposing Pluto of course we're there's a lot of G you know the overall macroeconomic s situation is good the labor market is holding up inflation is coming down the FED has cut rates adding liquidity to the markets there's no sign of a recession and the stock market just made the 11th green week out of the 10th green week out of 11 the overall Market environment is very bullish right now and I'm bullish through the end of the year uh you know we'll reassess in in 2025 but the big risk that is hanging over the market is the Middle East geopolitics uh Bitcoin and crypto took a huge dump when Iran attacked Israel now we're waiting for Israel to retaliate and this can have a big effect on the market the markets you know haven't seemed to care very much about uh just to be honest as a just an observational fact about the war in Gaza with Hamas and the war in Lebanon with Hezbollah but when Israel and Iran go toe-to-toe the market gets very nervous because there's a fear of the big Regional powers and a much more escalated War and the market has gotten very nervous when that those events take place so we we do have to be a bit cautious uh for Israel's counter retaliation against Iran and that could shape up the markets shake up the markets for a couple of days or a week or two depending on what Israel does and that certainly could fall on the Mars opposition to Pluto it's also within a day or two of the US presidential elections and there's some uncertainty around that so uh you know there are some risks the overall macro and Market situation is quite bullish but there are short-term risk uncertainties um we just just have to see how that plays out uh Mars Pluto yeah um you know that's a war aspect that's an aspect of absolutely brutal and aggressive Force um and unfortunately you know while we're praying for peace uh there could be some really terrible developments so uh yeah there's a there's a shortterm there could be a short-term pullback but I I would I would see that as a as a buying opportunity uh you know unfortunately I mean we don't want to we know people are dying I don't I don't want to make light of that but uh just the reality is it any pullbacks right now would would likely be a buying opportunity for stocks and crypto uh going into the end of the year the Mars you know Mars and Mercury retro overlap in December for like 10 days I mean those are usually quite difficult right uh so you know there's there's always going to be some risk there's always going to be some some uncertainty uh but I I think things look okay for the markets going into uh going into the sort of Santa rally you know typically December is bullish for the markets unless it's a terrible bare Market year uh so I'm I'm I'm relatively optimistic for the next few months the next 10 weeks thank you so much Robert this has been really Illuminating I really appreciate that you've taken the
