NOV. ASTRO-FINANCE–EARLY DARK CLOUDS BUT LIGHTENING

ASTRO-FINANCE  NOVEMBER 2024

 

By Barry Rosen 

There is a lot of fear and tension in the air as we have a number of planets in Saturn and Rahu-owned nakshatra, and nakshatras influence the mental plane most. Rahu is in Saturn’s nakshatra of Uttrabhadrapade (Pisces 3.20-16.40) until Feb. 23, 2025, in the true node system, and this combination always heightens fear and paranoia and tension, which the media have been feeding for weeks before the election. Mars went into another Saturn constellation of Pushya (Cancer 3.20-16.40) and that continues until Jan. 8, 2025, and that combination is always good for frustration, stress, and tension. Mercury went into another Saturn-owned Nakshatra on Nov. 1^, and it stays there until Nov. 8, and the Sun in is Swati’s Nakshatra, which is owned by Rahu and also creates fear and tension. You can see that the fear and tension are not going to go away for a while, but some will be lifted after Nov. 8, although I do not think the election results will be known for a long time. The good news is that Saturn’s nakshatra is auspicious for spiritual development and brings good results with hard work and effort. And there is Divine grace from the deities in all of them, so we have to think that positive transformation is happening.  

Mars opposes Pluto on Nov. 3 between Cancer and Capricorn, creating power struggles and strong aggression energies that need to be balanced so you do not bowl people away with your power and desire to control. This is also a signature for earthquakes, so let’s hope that Mother Nature can handle the energies. It could lead to a force of power by some warring country. 

My personal sense is that Mars in Cancer has little desire to fight and you can see this in the way Israel backed off of a hit on Iranian nuclear and oil facilities and said they were done and Iran has been rather weak around fighting since the 1979 Iran/Iraq war. Will this transit save us a bit through next June? We still will get three months in Gemini again between January and April. 

Venus opposes Jupiter between Scorpio and Taurus exactly on Nov. 3, which can bring expansion in spending patterns and over-eating as well as false optimism. Watch that extra piece of cheesecake and keep your credit cards at home if you go to the mall, as you may easily overspend. For markets, this often creates highs and that may be the case for metals and many commodities. It can be a signature for peace also and there are forces that are working on getting Israel from stopping the bombings in Lebanon.  

Venus moves into Sagittarius Nov. 6-Dec. 3 also giving an early start to the Christmas energies of expansion, spending, and optimism due to the Venus/Jupiter connections. Think of Santa ringing the bell for the Salvation Army. Still, this will create some optimism.  

The Sun moves into Vishaka Nakshatra (Libra 20-Scorpio 3.20) on Nov. 6-19, creating a more optimistic association between Jupiter and the Sun, increasing confidence and optimism and ending some of the bleak energies of the debilitated Sun and the peak of darkness into Nov. 1. 

Saturn squares Mercury exactly with a 10^th house aspect from Aquarius to Scorpio on Nov. 12, either increasing miscommunication or allowing for a deep dive of the intellect to penetrate the depths of inquiry. This is usually not great for the stock market, and we wonder if it increases the craziness around undecided election miscounts. 

Saturn goes direct on Nov. 15 and turns forward, ending the darker days of Saturn retrograde and perhaps lessening the grip of suffering and pain that Saturn retrograde has inflicted. This is another bright spot for November. 

And, of course, we have the Nov. 5 US election. The entire US is waiting with bated breath for results, and many expect the future doom of the country no matter which candidate wins. What’s wrong with this scenario?  Have you all been brainwashed by media fears and doubt the sanity and goodness of the American people? In any case, the chance of getting results right away is practically zero. Are you going to buy into the fact that your happiness and future are dependent on one person, or are you going to empower your own life and make a difference in local government and your community, whoever wins? Way too much fear around this. Have we lost our faith in God and the Divine and the goodness of the American people? Yes, there are always a few crazies that will overreact, but there are a lot of good people in both red and blue states and every town in the country. Don’t let the media stereotype you into seeing fascists and commies around the corner. I meet a lot of good people on both sides of the aisle wherever I go, and it used to be that we respected each other’s beliefs and opinions. Is that too much to ask anymore? Is there something behind trying to drum up so much fear and division in the US?  

We are still not going to predict the election because it stirs up too much division in our country and you can be sure that neither side will be happy with the results and it will be a long late fall and early winter. Whoever wins in November, no one will accept the results and continued distrust in the stability of the US will take the dollar and bonds lower. The dollar is about to issue a major sell signal and has cycle lows into 2025 and 2026 and one of the big economic stories is going to be the collapse of the dollar whether over leadership, 35 trillion in debt, or the coming recession.  

 

STOCK MARKET:

The market is healthy, above S & P Cash 5674 on pullbacks. The market continues to show signs of toppiness, and NQ 100 futures are not in trouble unless 19050 comes out. Tesla looks like it would hold 240 and get up to 289 and 303, or even 304. MFST looks like it will hold 397 and recover, and META still needs a pullback to 535 before it can reach up to 640. APPLE also should hold 216 and could reach up to 240-250. Seasonally stocks tend to go higher in November and December, but if the election wrangling continues too long, it could create sideways energy or fear. A Trump victory looks like it would take the S & P 500 cash up to 6157. 

The US is a Sagittarius rising, and the US usually does not like 12^th house transits through Scorpio and Mercury is there now until early January, and the Sun will be there Nov. 16-Dec. 16, and this usually creates more deficit spending and problems, and we wonder if the election will not be decided until the Sun goes into Sagittarius? This also could slow down the stock market if the situation in the US is in doubt.      

METALS AND GOLD: 

Gold is topping at publication at 2800, and usually, it has trouble getting through the Jupiter/Venus opposition, and seasonally, it is often lower into Dec. 15. We do not expect more than a pullback than 2497, and the next push up would get to 3067 into January. Longer-term investment cycles point to higher prices into 2027, and projections are toward 4907. 

 

You can play gold with ETFs like SLV, GLD, and GDX (Gold Miners) and we cover them in our newsletter. Stay on top of our daily forecasts with Fortucast.com newsletters. 

 

CRYPTOS:

Bitcoin fell a bit more than we liked with NASDAQ on Thursday, Oct 31. We will need a crisis to get up to 77000 and we are thinking that it’s a bit late to chase the last push up but it still usually works buying Friday and getting out on Monday.   

BEARISH CYCLES:  We still have a Nov. 12 low that could even go a week later. It is connected to the Saturn square to Mercury and the Saturn station.  

LONGER-TERM:  

Eventually, we have to move beyond our microanalysis and remember that the larger cycle highs go into 2026. 

Fund managers are projecting 200,000k Bitcoin on the news into next year, but we have seen these wild assertions before. Still, our larger cycles are friendly into 2026, with Bitcoin in a Jupiter/Rahu period until 2026.  

Remember to work with your broker. Trading and investing have to be done both technically and astrology can help but should not be the only factor in making a decision. You have to buy low and sell high.
