ASTRO-FINANCE FEB. 2025
By Barry Rosen
As we transfer into February, we’ve the fascinating conjunction of Venus /Rahu and Neptune peaking into the February 1-3 time window and it’ll get repeated with the Venus retrograde within the spring. We even have the expansive Jupiter station in Taurus on February 4, which is trining the Solar and brings optimism about our world. And there’s a lot to be pleased about with a ceasefire in Gaza and presumably a chat with Putin to make progress with Ukraine. If Trump walks again the tariffs, the market could do a remaining push up.
The final main time we had Rahu conjunct Neptune was April 28, 2008, and the final Rahu/Neptune/Venus conjunction was in Scorpio on December 3, 1974, so it isn’t one thing that occurs fairly often. Funnily sufficient, on December 1, 1974, there have been two main business airline accidents, together with a TWA flight the place 92 folks have been killed. Our hearts exit to the households of the Wichita Flight that led to 67 deaths.
The primary conjunction of Venus/Rahu/Neptune in early February is a mystical mixture for deep inventive creativity that appears to movement from the Divine. For artists, February may present an incredible alternative to finish nice artwork effortlessly. Relationships may transfer right into a dreamy fantasy world the place idealized love creates fantasy a few future in paradise. Venus/Rahu mixtures create nice ardour, and that may be expressed sexually or with idealized love via poetry and movement. It’s possible you’ll be impressed to make use of your inventive visions to assist humanity. John Lennon has a Rahu/Neptune conjunction of about 14 levels, and it’s with Mars and the Solar in Virgo.
As mentioned final month, the third move of the Pluto return within the US chart is creating main optimistic transformation in authorities with DOGE chopping waste, and we’ve famous that the Jupiter trine from Taurus to Capricorn is making a optimistic transformation. Not everybody will see it as such, but when your nation is operating a 35 trillion stage of debt and you’re recklessly spending cash on paperwork, that’s not going to finish nicely. However when Jupiter strikes into Gemini and takes its look away from Pluto, will Pluto change into extra malefic?
ENERGY AND CRUDE OIL:
Cycle lows for the crude oil market are due into late February or early March. Until crude can shut above 75.50 shortly, we may see a pointy fall even to 6900 or 6700 and even 6300. XLE, the oil inventory ETF, is projecting even 7800 or 7500, so oil shares will not be going to be joyful brief time period. We do assume Center East tensions within the spring will push oil up later within the 12 months, and seasonally it’s increased into late summer season and 100.00 oil will come again sooner or later and Saturn and Neptune in Pisces are going to assist. Jupiter in Taurus has been optimistic for oil in previous transit years like 2013. Longer-term crude oil cycles level increased to 2026-27.
CURRENCIES:
Mars goes stationary direct on February 23, the day of the German election. If you happen to comply with European information, the precise conservative social gathering is gaining floor as a result of backlash in opposition to immigration crime and expenditures, and the left is attempting to crack down on free speech and desires to outlaw the half on the precise? Sound acquainted. Germany is dominated by Mars, so this stationary occasion on the election could also be extra shocking than traditional. Furthermore, the Berlin Wall got here down with the Saturn/Neptune conjunction in Sagittarius in November 1989. Now we have Saturn and Neptune tightly conjunct this spring and inside minutes in July, so will one thing main occur in Europe? The general public is beginning to get fed with political agendas that don’t serve the folks.
You’ll be able to see that between the Trump tariffs, the crises in France and Germany, and the pure fuel and power issues, they’re extra prone to have longer-term issues into no less than March and April. Longer-term the Euro is in hassle into 2026 and 2027. The greenback seems to be stronger into the third week of February and possibly will maintain up till April.
Pluto transits over Ukraine’s natal Saturn and chart lord at 7.47 Capricorn in late January, after which Pluto retrogrades over it once more August-December 2025. It’s not going to be a picnic. The present Jupiter/Moon Dasha interval is a mix of 12th and seventh home lords, and Jupiter is a malefic for Ukraine’s chart. What occurs when Trump pulls cash out, and Europe continues with its sabers? For now we’re hopeful with Putin peace overtures.
Whereas patterns for increased rates of interest are nearer to ending into February 17-20, we may get yet one more spike in charges into late Feb till they arrive down till July. We hope that the upcoming rally beginning in March just isn’t a flight to high quality on a geopolitical disaster. The Trump tariffs will result in extra inflation and an eventual US recession over the approaching years, and the 35 trillion in debt will create a posh rate of interest surroundings. Possibly we’ve one other 12 months left earlier than the worldwide monetary reorganizing of the world’s 115 trillion in debt will occur. Saturn in Pisces with Neptune will probably be tough after Jupiter leaves Gemini after June 1, 2026, and not throws a pleasant protecting side to the US natal chart. Jupiter is racing via Gemini at hyper velocity Might-October 2025 and its pleasant look to Sagittarius won’t be as highly effective till it slows down and retrogrades again into Gemini in December 2025.
UNITED STATES VS. EUROPE:
Once we have a look at the US Dasha for the 1776 chart, the US went right into a Rahu/Mercury interval a couple of days after an election, and it lasts till June 2026. Whereas each are within the transformational 8th home, the optimistic information is that they’re each within the constellation of Pushya, dominated by the benefic Brihaspati, the priest of the gods. That, together with Jupiter’s benevolent trine onto Pluto from Taurus to Capricorn, suggests a optimistic transformation moderately than the violent one which many had predicted. We count on that the US will do much better than Europe.
STOCK MARKET:
The inventory market continues to be in a corrective section despite the fact that it continues to carry up in some areas. The Uranus station this previous week created a meltdown in NASDAQ for a day on fears of competitors from Chinese language AI.However after we look intently at their program, it’s one other Chinese language adware that’s coming simply in time as Tik-Tok is about to be bought. If you happen to ask this software program about Tiananmen Sq., it refuses to deliver up any data, and like Tik-Tok, it’s important to signal away your rights to your knowledge to a Chinese language firm that’s beholden to the Communist CCP. Undecided this scare will probably be a game-changer. The tariffs on/ tariffs off gambit create nice volatility on Feb. 3rd.
At publication, the inventory market seems to be like the following push up will go to 6270 on S & P money and ultimately to 6345. There will not be many home windows for a significant correction to occur.
Darling Tesla just isn’t doing as nicely and will get to 320 earlier than it could be a good purchase, however the outlook for Robotaxis has some folks frothing at the marketplace for increased costs to 520. We’re beginning to watch new tech darlings PLTR and MSTR, and they’ll most likely have higher entries later.
Our fast peek into January and February 2025 has Mars retrograding into Gemini January 20-April 2, however staying within the auspicious nakshatra of Purnavasu (Gemini 20-Most cancers 3.20) to create a optimistic connection for risk-taking between Jupiter and Mars. Venus can also be in Pisces, exalted January 27-March 1, after which goes retrograde to maneuver again towards Saturn and Rahu into early April. The inventory market seasonally is decrease in March, and Mercury in Pisces for 2 months in March and April won’t assist it or tech shares. So, one other correction is coming then. A cluster of Saturn, Mercury, the Solar, Venus, and Rahu inside a couple of levels in early April within the US 4th home could imply one other housing disaster, or will the funds disaster lastly have nowhere to go?
METALS AND GOLD:
Gold is topping at publication and you recognize that one thing is finished when the headlines roar, gold makes all-time highs. Nonetheless it has not reversed sufficient and must take out 2790 to concern a promote sign or we are going to see increased costs into the Solar/Mercury conjunction into the week of Feb September 11th. We prefer it longer-term into October, and gold costs mission 3067.
Longer-term funding cycles level to increased costs into 2027, and projections are towards 4907.Gold will proceed to be king until governments nationalize it as they’ve previously.
You’ll be able to play gold with ETFs like SLV, GLD, and GDX (Gold Miners) and we cowl them in our publication. Keep on prime of our each day forecasts with Fortucast.com newsletters.
CRYPTOS:
We’re undecided about cryptos. Now we have needed to see yet one more push on Bitcoin to 125000 to 130,000, however given extra carnage coming for NQ futures, we are going to see the way it does in February, and we expect it’s going to be corrective. Mercury conjunct Saturn in Pisces into February 25 is unlikely to be useful as soon as Mercury strikes into Aquarius after February11. Nonetheless the Trump Sovereign Fund announcement had Bitcoin roar again. Curler coaster journey. We’ll give it into early March to make a brand new excessive but when it can not take out 110,000 on Bitcoin it could return to 85000 within the spring.
It’s attainable that the autumn in cryptos could go a bit longer and greater than we had initially thought and will take till April to backside. Mercury is essential as a significator for cryptos, and it stays debilitated in Pisces for a lot of March and April and into early Might. That might lead first to filling the previous continuation chart hole at 78030.
LONGER-TERM:
Finally, we’ve to maneuver past our microanalysis and keep in mind that the bigger cycle highs go into 2026. The autumn of the Euro will ship many into cryptos once more beginning within the spring.
Fund managers are projecting 200,000k Bitcoin on the information into subsequent 12 months, however we’ve seen these wild assertions earlier than. Nonetheless, our bigger cycles are pleasant into 2026, with Bitcoin in a Jupiter/Rahu interval till 2026.
