ASTRO-FINANCE MAY 2025
By Barry Rosen
Effectively, we made it by way of April, and the Paravartana yoga or alternate of indicators with Jupiter and Venus between Pisces and Taurus held the world up, and peace talks with Iran are occurring, Hamas is speaking peace, however they wish to preserve their weapons, and Ukraine is nearer to signing the mineral deal. The Houthis are nonetheless a pressure to take care of, and Iran and Pakistan are nearer to warfare, however we’ve an important deal to be grateful for. The inventory market bottomed on April 7, and we predict that low will maintain with a secondary low into mid-Might.
We had famous that the Saturn/Neptune conjunction tends to re-sort world alliances, because it did in 1989 when the Soviet Union crumbled. It’s a lengthy and gradual transit, and into 2026, there may be rather more to come back. We are able to see the US pulling away from Europe and NATO and making an attempt 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 dedication to create World Warfare 3 and a nuclear holocaust. We now have Canada realigning with Europe and standing as much as the US, and undecided that may work out regardless of Carney’s hype as a wizard with economics. Canada seems to be like it would proceed downhill into 2028. Haven’t seen anybody make Marxism and Socialism work. Have a look at Cuba in spite of everything these years, and the UK is sinking slowly with Stammer.
We nonetheless must take care of the Saturn/Rahu conjunction,which nonetheless has an affect by way of late Might. Up to now, it has been pivotal for creating main occasions, and in the mean time, the India/Pakistan battle is excessive on the checklist. It occurs each 9-10 years, and up to now it led to the creation of ISIS in Sept 2013. The Iraq mess in 2002, the Gulf Warfare in 1991, the Iran/Iraq warfare in July 1979, and even the nuclear bombing of Japan in Might 1945. There’s an irrational concern and paranoia cycle, and you may really feel it with Nice Britain’s stance eager to nuke Russia, and the US’s aggressive place now taking out Yemen.
Now we have hope that saner minds will prevail as Mercury will lastly get out of Pisces on Might 6, and Venus stays exalted till Might 31 and will get stronger into late Might. Mars went into Most cancers April 2, the place it snarls however doesn’t prefer to combat. It doesn’t get into Leo and strikes towards preventing vitality with the Ketu conjunction till late July. That leaves a window of time to get peace accomplished. Iran stopped attacking Israel final October when it went into Most cancers earlier than, and that nation is a Most cancers rising. Usually, I’ve seen peace accords occur on the Jupiter/Venus conjunction, and that’s not till mid-August, and is extra problematic than with the Mars/Ketu conjunction inflicting issues in July.
Venus is simply too beat up with the conjunction with Saturn and Rahu and Mercury to be of a lot assistance on the peace entrance at publication,however Venus will get stronger in late Might and strikes towards actual exaltation at 28 Items into the final week of Might. It is going to even be useful in Taurus within the month of June and within the pleasant Gemini with Jupiter in July and into August.
The upset in regards to the tariffs will take longer to settle out, however needs to be higher when Mercury goes into Gemini on June 3, and that’s the US 7th home of overseas relationships. Jupiter going into Gemini on Might 14 can even assist. Most individuals don’t perceive world economics, however we’ve been too type to our companions on the expense of dropping jobs within the US and accumulating an enormous commerce deficit. This has gone on for 50 years. Nixon was type to China within the 70’s to assist their progress out of being a 3rd world nation, however that’s not the case any longer. The media has been instilling concern into the folks, and it may be self-fulfilling as client sentiment can impression buying drive. This sort of shift that’s occurring will take time to manifest.
As mentioned final month, the third go of the Pluto return within the US chart is creating main optimistic transformation in authorities with DOGE reducing 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 working a 37 trillion degree of debt and you might be recklessly spending cash on paperwork, that’s not going to finish effectively. However when Jupiter strikes into Gemini and takes its look away from Pluto, will Pluto change into extra malefic? Will the Ketu/Mars conjunction in a sizzling summer time in July fire up riots and violence? That appears to be doubtless, as onerous to get away from as fires and anger and violence, and riots with Mars in Leo with the fiery and explosive Ketu.
After we have a look at the US Dasha for the 1776 chart, the US went right into a Rahu/Mercury interval just a few 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 somewhat than the violent one which many had predicted. We count on that the US will do much better than Europe.
Jupiter strikes into Gemini, Might 14 and stays there till October, earlier than transferring into Most cancers for about 6 weeks. Gemini is one signal away from exaltation, so Jupiter has extra energy right here than in Jupiter in Virgo. Shares linked to Gemini will probably be significantly supported, and so they embody communication shares, media, publishing, web, and so on. With Jupiter’s side to Libra and Aquarius, shares in these sectors will probably be supported, with Aquarius linked to expertise and biotech. Rahu transferring into Aquarius in late Might will in all probability additionally spur a want to get again into oversold circumstances for tech and biotech, and AI. We’ll work on Libra-connected shares and focus on them in our month-to-month financials webinar on Might 8.
Rahu strikes into Aquarius on Might 19 within the Imply Node System, and on Might 29 and Ketu strikes into Leo, and that may go on for 1.5. Ketu transits typically take away so Leo-connected corporations could have bother whereas Aquarian-related corporations could also be in demand. Rahu points Gemini and Libra,so it would enhance want in that realm, and we’ve talked about Gemini shares and can overview Libra in our month-to-month webinar.

STOCK MARKET:
Everybody continues to be on edge in regards to the inventory market. We sense yet one more pullback into the week of Might 19 with Saturn throwing a 60-degree side to the Solar on Might 20 and Jupiter finishing Sandhi weak spot by its change of signal by Might 18. The market appears larger into the third week of June earlier than the subsequent FOMC assembly.
The inventory market ought to maintain 5200 on the S&P money by the Might low and has an opportunity nonetheless for brand spanking new highs to 6600 into Jan. 2026 primarily based on the inventory market Mahadasha system. Which may be a tall order, and the S&P money has to carry 4800.
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 must be taught various funding methods to guard your self. It’s not only a matter of shopping for shares and holding them to retirement until they’re the fitting shares, as we see decrease shares into the tip of the last decade, and patterns on the S&P would permit a fall to 1000, which might be greater than 80% by the point it’s accomplished.
TECHNOLOGY:
Know-how has already fallen an important deal, so the market is a bit oversold, and yet one more push decrease could also be it. Some Megacap tech shares look higher than others, like MSFT, which can maintain 346 on dips. Netflix initiatives 1188 and 1240 later n tyhear however could fall to 950-970 first. NVDA initiatives 83 for an excellent purchase and would stall at 118. Tesla projections are nonetheless a bit muddled however we’ll simply see 240 or a bit extra.
ENERGY AND CRUDE OIL:
Crude is issuing a breakdown sign at publication, as there may be an excessive amount of motion towards peace, and demand goes to be slower with financial recessionary energies from tariff uncertainties. We had steered that fall to 5200 and 5000, and this might occur into June. Up to now, Saturn in Pisces has not been good for oil, and whereas we’ve thought warfare cycles would come to the rescue, peace helps. For now, we’re searching for a June low, and we’ve not pinpointed precisely the date. Oil shares are in bother, and the XLE ETF, a basket of oil shares, is projecting 70.00, and the XOP, which is a basket of oil service trade shares, is projecting 9000.
Some crude cycles are supportive into the summer time, and plenty of are supportive into 2026-27, however the underlying fundamentals will not be nice, as Trump needs to extend provide. We’ll want an x-factor occasion with Iran, however that appears extra doubtless in July with the Mars/Ketu conjunction.
INTEREST RATES:
Trump is pushing for decrease charges, however we’ve to suppose that Powell and the FOMC will push again. We don’t see a charge minimize on the Might 7 assembly, and which will spook the inventory marketplace for the autumn into mid-Might. Seasonally, charges appear to go larger in the course of the month of Might, and will just like the Solar’s transit by way of Taurus, which is the 6th home from the US natal chart, which is Sagittarius. Brief-term, the 10-year bond futures will not be more likely to take out 112.27 on June futures, and we’ve to see how a lot they fall in Might.
To this point, charges will not be falling sufficient to make a lot of a distinction on mortgage charges, and people years of low cost charges will not be coming again.
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 surroundings. Perhaps we’ve one other 12 months left earlier than the worldwide monetary reorganizating of the world’s 115 trillion in debt will occur. Saturn in Pisces with Neptune will probably 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 way of Gemini at hyper velocity,Might-October 2025, and its pleasant look to Sagittarius is not going to be as highly effective till it slows down and retrogrades again into Gemini in December 2025.
METALS AND GOLD:
Gold hit 3500 and reversed, and all markets take a relaxation. Usually, gold is seasonally decrease into late June and July and picks up when the Solar goes into Leo in August. Silver is extra associated to the Moon and Venus, and sometimes does higher earlier than gold because the planets begin transferring into Most cancers in early July. Gold may fall to a max. 2800-2850, however the minimal fall could be a congestive one which holds above 3050.
Now we have one other cycle excessive for gold into November as Mars strikes into Sagittarius on Nov. 8, and that’s typically a optimistic signature. Longer-term cycles are optimistic for gold into 2027, pointing to over 4900. We aren’t clear what worth the subsequent purchase will probably be.
Silver has a small probability of 3500 for a secondary excessive however may hit 2850 into June earlier than the subsequent purchase units up for a transfer to 4250. We write about costs and timing each day, and if you don’t take our each day service, you miss an important deal.
Longer-term funding cycles level to larger 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 may play gold with ETFs like SLV, GLD, and GDX (Gold Miners), and we cowl them in our e-newsletter. Keep on high of our each day forecasts with Fortucast.com newsletters.
CRYPTOS:
Bitcoin bottomed a bit sooner than we had thought final month on April 7 and has rallied since, however is near topping and will not take out 100,000-101,000 close to publication into Might 5-6.Pullbacks ought to maintain 89000 into mid-Might. The sample on Bitcoin initiatives 136,000 on the subsequent push up, and for now, we’re cycle highs into Jan. 2026 and June 2026.
Fund managers are projecting 200,000 Ok 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.
