Stock Market Astrology

Stock market astrology involves finding the best time to pick stocks or bonds, speculate in commodities or trade futures and options. As with electional astrology, the positioning of the Planets is key in determining the most auspicious time for making investments and executing trades. Certain Planets, as well as planetary cycles and alignments, are sought in stock market astrology. The Eighth House, which is the House of mutual funds, insurance and annuities, speaks favorably to long-term plays in the marketplace. Scorpio here is also good to market mavens, as is Taurus, a Planet associated with patience. Easy aspects (trines, sextiles) in a chart smile kindly on those invested in the markets, as do the Earth signs (Taurus, Virgo and Capricorn). These signs are the money signs, exhibiting as they do a grounded and realistic behavior -- quite the asset when playing the markets. If Jupiter, the Planet of luck and good fortune, is making his mark in your chart then it's the right time to make some moves. If this Planet is transitting the Second or Eighth Houses, even better. When there is a Jupiter/Pluto alignment in the heavens, one is likely to reap huge dividends, so it's definitely time to act! Other Planets to watch in the heavens (and on Wall Street) are Saturn, which speaks to long-term strategies and the ability to execute your chosen plan; Uranus, which is a bellwether for those interested in more speculative plays; and Neptune, the Planet of illusion. Avoid big moves if Neptune is hanging around, because you're likely to be imbued with a false confidence which could cause you to lose your shirt. Where the high-stakes financial markets are concerned, one can't have too much help. Stock market astrology can be viewed as a silent partner, and a darned good one at that!
