ASTRO-FINANCE FOR OCT 2023

Oct is without doubt one of the extra unstable and loopy months of the yr.  We begin the month with the loopy Mars/Ketu conjunction on Oct. 4^th-5^th and plenty of markets just like the inventory market and metals and oil have fallen into their black gap and may bounce for just a few weeks out of there with some markets holding up higher for longer.   

Within the true node system, Mars is conjunct Ketu on Oct 4^th and a day later within the imply node system. It’s inside 3 levels by Sept. 30^th and isn’t 3 levels previous till Oct 8^th.  Irritating the scenario is that Mars is altering indicators and going into Libra on Oct. 3^rd  therefore it’s sandhi or weak and Ketu can also be sandhi within the early levels of Libra.  What does all of it imply? 

  This is without doubt one of the extra intense occasions of the yr significantly as a result of Mars and Ketu points can set off terrorism, violence rioting, and conflict.  The Mars/Ketu conjunction in Sagittarius in 2001 was when the World Commerce Towers went down. Fortunately Jupiter is shining its grace on the advanced from Aries.   We nonetheless marvel if we is not going to get some false flag occasion to divert our consideration from impeachment inquiries and the failure of the federal government to move a price range and shield its residents. Mars additionally has a 150-degree facet onto Neptune on Oct. 5^th and this could result in episodes of deception and fraud.  Watch out on the telephone if one thing appears too good and significantly take note of what the media is telling you.  We had heard there was a take a look at of the emergency broadcast system scheduled for Oct. 4^th and it’s occurring at 1:20 pm CDT on the 4^th.   

We then get follow-through motion with the photo voltaic eclipse at 28 Virgo on Oct 14^th  which is seen in america in the course of the day-time which all the time means it has a extra vital affect over the approaching months for issues with management and authorities.   Mercury will go over the eclipse level on October 18^th because it strikes towards conjunct with Ketu just a few days later and that can spoil the occasion of higher communications within the first few weeks of October.   Mercury is the significator for inventory shares and tech shares are normally happier with Mercury in Virgo however we predict a rally in shares in October after October fifth will probably be short-lived.

Pluto additionally goes stationary instantly on Oct. 10^th and this could improve energy grabs and overexertion of pressure by the Plutocrats.  It’s stationing at 3.42 minutes of Capricorn and will get learn to finish the Pluto return for america subsequent Might.  On the station, it’s forming a decent sq. to the nodes in the beginning of Aries and Libra in addition to squaring Mars in transit into Oct. 9^th.   Political extremism, violence, and exaggerated corruption are more likely to hit new heights—as in the event that they haven’t already. 

The intense spot for the month is Mercury in Virgo which helps enterprise and commerce and infrequently the inventory market and Venus in Leo will help gold and assist carry the US greenback down in worth as was the case in July when Venus first went into Leo earlier than going retrograde. 

Saturn stays retrograde till Nov. 3^rd. It’s a bit softer now that it has moved into Pada 1 of Satabhishaka Nakshatra (Aquarius 6.40-20.00) which is dominated by Jupiter. Retrograde malefics like Saturn are all the time instructing us to bear our karmic accountability with out complaining and take accountability for our previous errors. Saturn retrograde is harder for Leo Aries and Scorpio this yr with its points, so decelerate and don’t run round like a rabbit, and bear in mind most of what you worry by no means occurs. Nonetheless, there’s an underlying nagging worry about nuclear wars, North Korea and China, and a bunch of different fears together with the following pandemic. 

The nodes are shifting towards the ends of the start of the indicators of Aries and Libra and this makes them a bit extra wacky and fewer secure. That is additionally the Gandanta space the place the will for mass psychological transformation comes up. Deep unconscious fears come as much as heal. The affect of this will probably be felt from Sept. 15-Dec. 30^th when the nodes are significantly weak between 29 Pisces and 1 Aries. Rahu strikes into Pisces within the Imply Node system on Oct. 30^th and on Nov. 30^th within the True Node system. With the nodes altering indicators, there’s an elevated craziness within the collective psychology and this may paint a shadow on fall fears as we transfer into Vata Season with the temperatures turning colder, leaves falling and nervousness ranges climbing. No matter is going on in world politics will appear amplified.

Finally, Rahu will do higher in Pisces within the New Yr as Jupiter is the one planet that calms its wild energies and Ketu in Virgo is much less pleased as it’s an intuitive and non secular planet in a logical and business-orientated signal.  Nonetheless, we all the time see massive adjustments on this planet when the nodes transfer into new indicators. 

For now, our security lies in that 2024 is an election yr and so they can not take away too lots of our freedoms too early with out huge protest. Will one other bioweapon emerge to maintain us below management once more? The neocons need us to maneuver towards conflict with Russia and are limitless funding of Ukraine shouldn’t be nice for the US checking account. Will any sensible management rise to cease us from this motion? No less than for Might 2024, we have now Jupiter trining the Pluto return at 7 levels Capricorn for the US chart but it surely doesn’t keep lengthy sufficient to rescue a pivotal yr for the US and the world.

STOCK MARKET:

The inventory market is getting oversold as we transfer into the primary week of October and patterns counsel no less than a transfer to 4167-4190 on the S&P 500 money index and 14500 on NQ 100 futures.  That ought to be full by Oct. 6^th or 8^th.  The primary few weeks of October provide one of the best probability for a inventory market restoration and seasonal shopping for typically emerges in October and the exalted Mercury in Virgo might permit some to think about nibbling.  We don’t see that bounce final various weeks into The Jupiter trine to Venus from Aries to Libra into Oct. 22.  Normally the Solar in Libra beginning on Oct. 17^th is dangerous for confidence in authorities and it significantly will get miserable because the Solar strikes into Swati Nakshatra (Libra 6.40-20) the place the Solar is debilitated at 10 Libra each Oct. 28^th.  That is additionally occurring into the Lunar Eclipse at 18 Aries and as Mercury is conjunct with Mars into Oct. 29^th.  The Pavivartana Trade between Leo and Libra and Venus and the Solar till Nov. 2^nd will cancel the worst of the debilitation this yr and the facet from Jupiter can even assist so perhaps not as dire and miserable as some years.

The present forecast for a Nov. charge hike on Nov. 1^st is at 17%.  Can this permit the inventory market to rally greater than the 2 weeks we’re seeing?

We don’t like the previous couple of weeks of October for the inventory market.  The issue for late October is that Jupiter will probably be opposing the debilitated Solar and Mars in Libra with Mercury within the fall of 2023 and that’s just like the oppositions we had between the bearish indicators of Aries and Libra, two air indicators, which brought about extra speedy inventory market declines. In Oct. 1987, we had one thing very related and therefore there’s extra crash power within the fall of this yr. Oppositions between bearish indicators like Aries and Libra result in huge declines. 

The context for a serious monetary disaster continues to be there this fall as the home of playing cards of world debt, limitless conflict expenditures aren’t going to come back to a fairly and neat finish. Nonetheless, the powers that be handle to do what they’ll to remain in energy for the sake of the remainder of us.

The market seems to be significantly weak in October November and December.   The market could also be oversold sufficient by early October to do a 3-week seasonal rally.  

We’ve to go together with our authentic work which was for a low in Dec 2023 and it might bleed over into January  2024.   There are too many ugly overhanging noise elements.

• BRICS need to destroy the greenback.
• The political and Presidential crises in America might harm the notion of investing within the US. We sense a late October peak right here.
• Geopolitical tensions with China over Taiwan have an eerie 18.5-year cycle peaking into November.
• One other eerie geopolitical cycle with North Korea peaking into November.
• The fact of the FOMC not planning on decrease charges and the lessening probability for a recession.
• China’s actual property employment and development disaster can’t be whitewashed over with Fitch issuing a warning.

November is troubling with the Venus debilitation in Virgo and the Solar in debilitation in Libra Oct. 17-Nov. 16^th and we frequently discover the autumn miserable because the leaves begin coming off and winter approaches. 

The disaster sample would permit a fall to S & P Money 2726.  Definitely, 3250 could be very seemingly by the tip of the 4^th quarter.  It’s potential with the repeat of the October 1987 crash cycle into this October beginning across the week of Oct. 21^st.    

TESLA needs to disregard the dangerous information and if it may recover from 260, it might nonetheless have an opportunity to rally with tech whereas Mercury is in Virgo.  Small probability for a brand new excessive of 325 however we predict it’ll fail a lot decrease.    If the remainder of the market falls 4^th quarter, Tesla will go to 150. 

This darling inventory continues to be in dreamland as sellers have too many unsold Teslas on the lot even after a 35% worth drop. Elon is forcing his opponents to lose cash additionally. Sure, they’re great however nobody realizes it nonetheless takes coal and pure gasoline to run the generators that energy the grid that fees your EVs. The phantasm that EVs will save the world and world warming is one other rip-off. The identical is true of photo voltaic panels. 60-70% of the elements for photo voltaic panels come from China and they’re utilizing tons of coal and creating extra air pollution and extra emissions than anybody on this planet. Is anybody bothered by the slave labor that it takes to mine the minerals to make these batteries? China doesn’t appear to care as they transfer into Africa to take management of extra of those mines.

GOLD

Gold continues to behave like Lucy and Charlie Brown with the soccer within the cartoon Peanuts.  At publication, the market continues its deep correction however we see it ending on the Mars/Ketu conjunction into Oct 4-5^th  and pondering that 1800 will maintain. If we get a world disaster or disaster with the inventory promote it has an opportunity of getting an enormous transfer to 2300 if 2070 can come out.  

We do have a cycle excessive for it into January 2024 and into Might 2024.

Heliocentric Mercury in Sagittarius additionally helps gold from Oct. 31^st into Nov. 12^th. We may even see a primary excessive with Venus trining Pluto into Nov. 6^th as I discover Venus/Pluto points are sometimes linked to gold highs. You possibly can play gold with ETFs like GLD and GDX (Gold Miners) and we cowl them in our e-newsletter and watch entries into Oct. 4-th.   

We’ve a gold cycle larger into 2024 for now. Gold might speed up in a disaster to 2245 after which 2450 into the yr 2024. Keep on prime of our each day forecasts with Fortucast.com newsletters.

CRYPTOS:

Bitcoin continues to fail.  It ought to backside the primary week of October and will maintain up into as late as Oct. 18^th as Mercury hits the tip of Virgo and that hits a key spot on the Bitcoin Natal Chart.   (10/31/2008 11:10 am, Van Nuys, CA).  Bitcoin continues to disappoint.   Till Bitcoin closes above 35000, we can not declare a serious weekly chart backside. Beginning to doubt if the autumn monetary disaster will result in a rally as dumping belongings could also be what occurs given the continuous push by governments to permit competitors.

Should assume it’ll have a robust break into the Nov. low.  We had hopes for a breakout later within the yr to 50000 however have doubts now.

Given weekly chart patterns projecting 21614 on Bitcoin futures for the Nov. low, unsure we’ll maintain GBTC past mid-October.  

We expect long run they are going to be weak nonetheless because the SEC tries to manage cryptos out of existence as indicated by the SEC filings towards COIN and different gamers. Nonetheless, Bitcoin is in a Jupiter/Rahu interval from August 2023 into 2026 utilizing the proper dasha of (Adhana Vimshottari Dasha) and it’s more likely to climate the storm for a bit.
