ASTRO-FINANCE APRIL 2025
By Barry Rosen
This historic month has simply begun and most of the people are feeling moderately anxious. We had famous that the Saturn/Neptune conjunct tends to resort international alliances because it did in 1989 when the Soviet Union crumbled and it’s a lengthy and gradual transit and into 2026 and there’s rather more to come back. We will see the US pulling away from Europe and NATO and attempting to create a brand new world order with Russia and create peace in Ukraine and take away the specter of getting sucked into Europe’s willpower to create World Struggle 3 and a nuclear holocaust. On the similar time, the bombing of Yemen is stirring up the Center East pot and threats towards Iran are moderately critical.
We nonetheless should take care of the Saturn/Rahu conjunction which creates concern and paranoia and sometimes dangerous choices. Prior to now the Saturn/Rahu conjunction which peaks into the week of April 19-Twenty fifth. has been pivotal for creating main occasions. It occurs each 9-10 years that and up to now it has led to the creation of Isis in Sept 2013, The Iraq mess in 2002, The Gulf Struggle in 1991, the Iran/Iraq warfare in July 1979 and even the nuclear bombing of Japan in Could 1945. There’s an irrational concern and paranoia cycle and you’ll really feel it with Nice Britain’s stance eager to nuke Russia and the US aggressive place now taking out Yemen. Can Russia/Ukraine peace occur with this cycle? Not immediately however now we have famous, perhaps August. Mars went into Most cancers April 2nd the place it snarls however doesn’t prefer to battle and it doesn’t get into Leo and transfer towards preventing power with the Ketu conjunction till late July. That leaves a window of time to get peace achieved. Iran stopped attacking Israel final October when it went into Most cancers earlier than and that nation is a Most cancers rising. Typically I’ve seen peace accords occur on the Jupiter/Venus conjunction and that isn’t till mid-August and extra problematic then with Mars/Ketu conjunction inflicting issues in July.
If you don’t keep on prime of worldwide information, you even have the rising of in Europe and cracking down on free speech and political oppositions. Romanian courts stop the conservative candidate from working and now this has occurred with the main French candidate, Le Pen, who can also be in the identical state of affairs. Is there a sample right here? They tried to do it with Donald Trump and even tried to kill him. Is free speech breaking down right here? What do these folks concern aside from dropping energy and management. Vance’s chiding of European leaders and pulling out monetary assist out of Europe make sense as these are now not democracies. In the event you comply with the mainstream media, you might miss what’s going on.
Venus is just too beat up with the conjunction with Saturn and Rahu and Mercury to be of a lot assistance on the peace entrance however Venus will get stronger in Could and strikes towards precise exaltation at 28 Items into the final week of Could.
The upset in regards to the tariffs will take longer to settle out however needs to be higher when Mercury goes into Gemini in June 3rd and that’s the US 7th home of overseas relationships. Jupiter going into Gemini on Could 14th will assist. Most individuals don’t perceive world economics however now we have been too sort to our companions on the costly of dropping jobs within the US and accumulating an enormous commerce deficit. This has gone on for 50 years. Nixon was sort to China within the 70’s to assist their development out of a 3rd world nation however that isn’t the case any longer. Communist Vietnam has been taking low cost Chinese language good and exporting them to the US to bypass Chinese language tariffs. In the event you journey overseas and attempt to purchase one thing, the massive excise taxes you pay are fairly dramatic. With a 37 trillion greenback deficit, we are able to now not deal with the remainder of the world because the curiosity to service our debt is greater than our army price range. When you don’t deal with your loved ones’s price range correctly, you recognize what can occur.
DOGE and Musk proceed to be within the highlight. We have now talked about in previous months that Saturn in Purvabhadrapada, (Aquarius 20-Pisces 3.20) is a positioned of the deep state and Saturn’s transit by there till April 24th will proceed to root out waste and corruption. Please look past the mainstream media. Sure, it’s horrible with all of the losses in DC jobs however our sense is that the US in a Rahu/Ketu interval beginning June 2026 would face main monetary reorganization and chapter anyway and they’re attempting to do away with waste. In case you are conscious of what they’re uncovering, it’s the largest scandal in US historical past and so they maintain discovering extra with 4 million social safety numbers given to unlawful aliens to purchase their votes and the US Peace Company sending cash to the Taliban in Afghanistan to assist their drug commerce. Authorities spending has been unchecked and unaudited for years and that’s the reason now we have a 37 trillion greenback deficit. Sure, there’s ache to vary this however each household usually has to do that and it takes time however the home might be saved.
As mentioned final month, the third move of the Pluto return within the US chart is creating main constructive transformation in authorities with DOGE slicing waste, and now we have famous that the Jupiter trine from Taurus to Capricorn is making a constructive transformation. Not everybody will see it as such, but when your nation is working a 37 trillion stage of debt and you’re recklessly spending cash on paperwork, that isn’t going to finish effectively. However when Jupiter strikes into Gemini and takes its look away from Pluto, will Pluto grow to be extra malefic? Will the Ketu/Mars conjunction in a scorching summer season in July fire up riots and violence? I hope not however there are power being stirred up with protests already.
Once we take a look at the US Dasha for the 1776 chart, the US went right into a Rahu/Mercury interval a number of days after an election, and it lasts till June 2026. Whereas each are within the transformational 8th home, the constructive 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 constructive transformation moderately than the violent one which many had predicted. We anticipate that the US will do much better than Europe.
As for Tesla, what occurred to the darling electrical vehicles that all of us beloved two years that may save the setting? They’re nonetheless the identical. Superb what a media hate blitz can do and you then discover it was organized which is home terrorist. Musk remains to be a genius and the media gave little credit score to his SpaceX group saving the astronauts when the earlier administration failed to take action.
STOCK MARKET: It’s falling sooner than we are able to write about it. It seems like money S & P 4950 will maintain it by April 7th or in order Mercury goes direct and we might get a one week restoration into April 12-13th or so and it could be an enormous bounce. Nonetheless it seems decrease later within the month with the Saturn/Rahu conjunction into the week of April 19th.
The inventory market is on the level the place an in depth beneath 4900 will finish the bull market and ship the S & P money to 3500-3800. Given the warfare tensions and the way lengthy it takes to wash up the tariffs, now we have to see this as a robust risk. This 12 months is vital for the tip of the lengthy inventory market advances since 1932, 2009 and 2020. We see decrease shares into the tip of the last decade and you will should study various funding methods to guard your self.
TECHNOLOGY:
I discover that Mercury in Pisces (Feb 28-Could 6th ) isn’t going to assist this sector and I usually see tech shares fall throughout this era. Your entire debilitation is cancelled because of Venus in Pisces and that may assist know-how a bit as will the conjunction with Rahu however the affect of Saturn after April 1st won’t be useful. Know-how has already fallen an excellent deal so it’s a advanced forecast developing. We had hit some projections on Large Tech shares already and whereas we anticipate a one week bounce with Mercury going direct on April 7th, they’re in hassle and we marvel if NVDA won’t be achieved till we see 80 and APPLE took out the 200 space and is in hassle. They’ll have dealer bounces however most likely not funding bounces.
We already closed beneath 18000 on the NQ 100 subject and even when we bounce off of 17000, we’ll see 16000 and extra earlier than it’s achieved.
ENERGY AND CRUDE OIL:
Final month we had postulated that crude might fall to 6000 and it fell away from bed with the tariff warfare and the chance of recession and demand. There are some new projections even to 5200. Prior to now Saturn in Pisces has not been good for oil and whereas now we have thought warfare cycles would come to the rescue, we’re not positive. Haven’t pinpointed the low however seasonal gasoline demand ought to assist and warfare cycles ought to deliver it and oil shares again however not immediately.
Some crude cycles are supportive into the summer season and lots of are supportive into 2026-27 however the underlying fundamentals should not nice as Trump needs to extend provide. We are going to want an x-factor occasion with Iran however that appears extra seemingly in July with the Mars/Ketu conjunction.
INTEREST RATES:
We had famous final month that charges would come down into June and July and that’s now the case with recession fears and the ten 12 months Treasury futures have been projecting 117.25 and we already received to 114.00 on Friday. Charges are because of come down into July now—however not that a lot. It’s thriller why anybody would purchase our bonds after they see how we waste and throw away cash.
The Trump tariffs will result in extra inflation and an eventual US recession over the approaching years, and the 37 trillion in debt will create a fancy rate of interest setting. Perhaps now we have 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 likely be troublesome after Jupiter leaves Gemini after June 1, 2026, and now not throws a pleasant protecting side to the US natal chart. Jupiter is racing by Gemini at hyper pace Could-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.
METALS AND GOLD:
Gold hit 3200 and has topped at publication however the general pattern greater is much from achieved. It might have a brief low by April 11th however Heliocentric Mercury in Sagittarius is all the time good for gold and may prop it again up into April 22-23rd and that coincides with the Saturn/Rahu conjunction and warfare fears. We had been on the lookout for a Could cycle greater an 3345 is feasible and one other excessive in Oct would go to 3550 or so and the longer-term cycle into 2027 factors to over 4900. We’re not clear what value the subsequent purchase will likely be. Silver additionally collapsed and now we have been 2920 or 2750 as a resting place earlier than we see 4030 and extra. We write about costs and timing every day and if you don’t take our every day service, you miss an excellent useless
Longer-term funding cycles level to greater costs into 2027, and projections are towards 4907.Gold will proceed to be king until governments nationalize it as they’ve up to now.
You’ll be able to play gold with ETFs like SLV, GLD, and GDX (Gold Miners) and we cowl them in our e-newsletter. Keep on prime of our every day forecasts with Fortucast.com newsletters.
CRYPTOS:
Cryptos have damaged down and Mercury stays in Pisces till Could 6th. Whereas the debilitation is formally cancelled with Venus in Pisces, it isn’t going to assist very a lot. The market ought to simply fill the previous continuation chart hole at 78030. Main assist is at 72000-74000 and a transfer again to 68000 wouldn’t be stunning earlier than it’s throughout. We might get a bounce off of 80000 when Mercury goes direct on April 7th and there’s a transfer to various funding autos so put some on within the 80000 area is one technique and including extra if we see 72000.
Fund managers are projecting 200,000k Bitcoin on the information into subsequent 12 months, however now we have seen these wild assertions earlier than. Nonetheless, our bigger cycles are pleasant into 2026, with Bitcoin in a Jupiter/Rahu interval till 2026.
