This article was inspired by the work of Portuguese financial astrologer João Medeiros, who has popularized the application of the Chaldean planetary order to calendar-year market cycles - I have expanded on this inspiration in this report.

⏱ Estimated Read Time: 10 Minutes

Ancient Babylonian and Indian Astrologers observed the 7 main celestial bodies in the sky: the Sun, the Moon, Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn.

There is a phrase, the “Chaldean Order,” which is sometimes associated with modern numerology circles. Still, the word “Chaldean” actually refers to a tribe in ancient Babylon whose name became associated with astronomers and astrologers of all types in ancient times.

The “Chaldeans” proposed an order of the planets based on their apparent speeds as observed from our perspective on Earth.

In order of increasing perceived speed through the heavens from our perspective on Earth (slowest to fastest), the order is Saturn, Jupiter, Mars, Sun, Venus, Mercury, Moon.

There’s also good evidence that the famous Hellenistic Astrologer Vettius Valens was aware of this ordering of the planets by apparent speed.

“And the order of the stars in relation to the days holds thus: Sun, Moon, Mars, Mercury, Jupiter, Venus, Saturn. But the arrangement of their orbits [around the Earth] is thus: [Saturn], Jupiter, Mars, Sun, Venus, Mercury, and Moon - Vettius Valens, Anthologies, 1.10, trans. Mark T. Riley (Sacramento: California State University, 2010), 17.

Valens is describing the planetary day sequence and the orbital speed order here, what we are calling the Chaldean order or Chaldean 7 Year Cycle, which runs Saturn, Jupiter, Mars, Sun, Venus, Mercury, Moon.

Does this 7 year cycle have any predictive value in the markets?

THE CHALDEAN 7 YEAR CYCLE & THE MARKETS

For stock market data going back to 1928, we use NYU Professor Aswath Damodaran’s historical returns table. Damodaran's data retroactively uses the S&P Composite Index of 90 stocks for the pre 1957 years, and labels it under the S&P 500 lineage. So while the table says "S&P 500," the 1928 to 1956 observations are technically the S&P 90 Composite total returns.

Source: https://pages.stern.nyu.edu/~adamodar/New_Home_Page/datafile/histretSP.html

So, let’s assign the 7 year cycle of planets as follows:

Saturn Years: 1936, 1943, 1950, 1957, 1964, 1971, 1978, 1985, 1992, 1999, 2006, 2013, 2020, 2027

Eclipse season opens the most bearish window of the year. This month I am watching Oil, Iran and the first cracks of an equities correction to deepen into October.

Inside this report:

1. Eclipse season and the oil shock

2. The Equities Correction - the case for a market drop between August and October

3. How it unfolds - a three-phase path into an October low.

Estimated Read Time: 15 Minutes

PART I | ECLIPSE SEASON

Bearish sentiment crept back into the markets as anticipated after the Jupiter-Pluto opposition in late July. With this bearish energy in play (and still in play), we saw Semiconductors down 18% over July, the biggest AI ETF down 7%, with the Nasdaq slipping down almost 8% near the end of the month before making a recovery. The confidence of April and May is fading, slowly but surely, as we entered Eclipse Season.

Is the market about to drop off a cliff? I’m very bearish during August-October.

In Part 1, we examined how planetary transits through the tropical zodiac consistently correspond with major sector ETF shifts. In this report, I break down my Jupiter in Leo stock picks.

Inside this report:

1. My Jupiter in Leo Picks: Stocks driven by fundamental, technical, and astrological convergence.

2. Execution Strategy: the game plans on when and why.

3. Why staying aggressive in stock research is essential, even with a market crash looming.

Estimated Read Time: 20 Minutes

PART I

As we saw in my article “Jupiter Enters Leo | Bṛhaspati & Śani as Market Directors”, we saw the eerie impact of transiting Saturn and Jupiter on certain sector ETF’s. This wasn’t a magic bullet, but it was hard to ignore the data - Jupiter in Gemini leading to XLC communications services outperforming the S&P 500 by 11% in the same timeframe. Jupiter in Pisces leading to incredible gains for the XOP Oil and Gas ETF. Saturn’s transit through Aquarius destroying Cathie Wood’s ARK Innovation ETF.

Of course, this isn’t a magic bullet, and certain “zodiacal key words” sectors didn’t always beat the market, of course - we still need to consider fundamentals and technicals - but there is enough correlation here to say “there’s a there there.”

So naturally, we have now entered a fresh one-year cycle of Jupiter in Tropical Leo and Saturn in Tropical Aries. Let’s go through the fundamental, astrological, and technical analysis for some of my Jupiter in Leo stock picks.

It’s worth noting that I will likely enter these positions around October if we see a market crash, as I anticipate, by October, and a local bottom in equities generally. This will be an excellent buying opportunity.

Again, to make it clear - I am expecting a very strong correction by October, and the “full crash” sometime in 2027 - more research on 2027 to come.

As of the time of writing, late July, I’m being very cautious with equities as we see the Jupiter-Pluto opposition go exact and enter eclipse season. Again - August through October is super bearish - and October will be the month of the strong correction, in my view.

PART II | JUPITER IN LEO STOCK PICKS

First off, Rowan, if you’re expecting a stock market crash in October and sometime in 2027, why risk your money in stocks? It’s all about relative strength. Even if the market tanks and is super weak, all traders and investors ultimately want to beat the market.

So we can be aware of a potential crash around October, wait to see if that happens, and then strategically position for the next 12 months, knowing full well we might see another crash in 2027. It’s all about relative strength and performance against the wider market. If (when) there’s a crash, these will still fall, but we’re aiming for higher performance relative to the wider market over the next 12 months.

Polymarket currently has a 17% chance that Gold will have the best performance in 2026 out of the S&P 500, Gold and Bitcoin - and for the sake of putting my money where my mouth is, I’ve put a little bet on Gold providing better performance than Bitcoin and the S&P 500 this year. Of course, I’m also speculating on that reality through these stocks.

So without further ado, here are the 10 or so stocks I’m looking at.

July 2026 is a highly significant month, packed with dense astrological events that will set the momentum for the 2nd half of 2026. We dive into the USA’s 250th anniversary, the Barbault Basket, the Jupiter-Pluto opposition and Gold.

Jupiter enters tropical Leo on June 30th and stays until July 28th 2027. For the next twelve months, the most benefic planet will be transiting the fiery sign, domain of the sun and associated with entertainment, creativity, luxury, speculation, and gambling. The sectors that benefit from Jupiter’s transit can indeed outperform the broader market, and the opposite for Saturn. A bold claim which will be backed up with ETF data.

In this report, we uncover:

1. The fascinating impact of Jupiter and Saturn’s transits through different tropical zodiac signs

2. Which sectors and themes are setup for expansion over the next 12 months

3. Six historical backtests with real ETF performance data

4. A practical ETF playbook for the next twelve months

Estimated Read Time: 10 Minutes | Full Prediction Summary Included

PART I | THE SECTOR MAP

Each of the twelve signs governs specific industries, sectors and themes. This is established astrological tradition going back to early Jyotish texts, Ptolemy and the early Hellenistic astrologers. It’s fairly intuitive:

Aries | Defence, energy, new ventures

Taurus | Metals, land, agriculture, luxury

Gemini | Communications, media, tech, transport

Cancer | Real estate, food, domestic economy

Leo | Entertainment, luxury, speculation, gold

Virgo | Healthcare, pharmaceuticals, agriculture

Libra | Luxury, art market, partnerships, legal

Scorpio | Banking, debt markets, mining

Sagittarius | Education, travel, international trade

Capricorn | Government, institutional restructuring

Aquarius | Technology, innovation, crypto, regulation

Pisces | Pharmaceuticals, oil, charity and philanthropy

Now, here’s the important part- this is a directional bias, not a guarantee. The signal is real but it’s never simple. Macro shocks, central bank policy, geopolitical events, and individual company fundamentals can all override the positive signal in any given period.

Let’s see what this all looks like with real ETF data.

PART II | JUPITER - THE ETF DATA

Jupiter in Gemini | May 2024 - June 2025

Gemini governs communications, media, technology, and transport. When Jupiter entered Gemini from May 2024, the prediction was straightforward - these sectors should benefit from a 12 month expansion tailwind.

Here’s what actually happened in the data:

XLC, the Communication Services ETF, beat the S&P 500 by nearly 11%. That’s a significant outperformance for a sector signal that you could have positioned for twelve months in advance. Technology, transportation, and semiconductors all underperformed the benchmark - which brings us to an important caveat.

This month’s Financial Astrology overview of July is being delivered as a podcast very soon, so I’d like to begin by reviewing the predictions made in my article “The Financial Astrology of June 2026”

Estimated Read Time: 5 Minutes

PREDICTIONS LEDGER

Each article I write has a mix of fairly specifics calls and wider trends and commentary, as such I don’t audit every single sentence of my articles, but I try to evaluate any key predictions that are mentioned.

How did the predictions perform in June?

• “After a new moon pump in technology oriented Gemini on the 14th, Venus in Leo opposing Pluto in Aquarius on June 17th would be the ideal time for some pullback in tech stocks.”

Hit. Between Thursday 11th June Wednesday 17th June the NASDAQ 100 increased 5.76%. June 17th itself saw the trading day on this index down 1.5% in the last hour of the trading day.

• “Venus in Leo opposing Pluto in Aquarius could bring some anger amongst artists and creatives against the use of AI technology and such things”

Partial. June 17 saw the G7 Summit in France, where AI leaders and G7 leaders discussed the U.S. administration's "weaponization" of AI. AI leaders met for a working lunch on “ensuring a safe rapid and effective deployment of artificial intelligence”. The Trump administrations’ controls on Anthropics Fable 5 dominated the discussion.

• Chiron entering Taurus on June 19th will likely bring some headlines that foretell of pressures to come around food supply chains and energy costs.

Hit. Exactly on June 19th, we saw the Canadian Government officially announce a 10% import tariff on canned vegetables, it took effect immediately from June 19th. Finance Minister François-Philippe Champagne announced the measure as a "provisional safeguard" to protect local producers. This is of course the first day of a wider transit, so these stories are still likely to come up in the following months.

• “This could be a good time for Oracle, which is trading at $192, roughly 40% below its all time high. 36 of 43 analysts say “Buy” with a $244 median target.

  Earnings come out on June 10th, during a lunar return for the IPO chart and off the back off that highly positive Venus-Jupiter conjunction in Cancer, which is the 2nd house of money and wealth for the Oracle IPO chart. It looks good to me.”

Miss. Despite wider bullish consensus, Oracle took a 20% tumble over the month of June.

• “We’re in for a bullish June for Nvidia”

Miss. Nvidia remained fairly stable, down only 6% on the month.

• If I was Elon’s personal astrologer (I’m available for hire if he’s reading this), I’d love to see a first trade chart closer to 11:30am rather than 09:30am on the dot.

Hit. SpaceX began trading at 11:46 AM on June 12th rather than the expected 09:30 AM time frame.

• “Bottom Line: Bearish Bitcoin”

Hit. Bitcoin began the month at the 73K level before wiping off 12% and plunging towards the 62K support level.

• “The June 9th Venus-Jupiter conjunction is the month’s most bullish signature”

Partial. Astrologers were eyeing the 9th June for a peace deal to rally the markets, but using a wider orb for the Venus/Jupiter conjunction we saw a major agreement come on June 15th, with markets reacting positively, the S&P 500 up 1.7% on that day and oil prices dropping.

• “Skip the SpaceX IPO”

Hit. After soaring to $220, SPCX swiftly crashed 20%, with the stock down 3% since IPO.

This is of course just a rough audit and score - I’m aiming to implement more statistically rigorous methods of accuracy calculation into my articles further down the line.

That concludes the prediction ledger for June 2026. I’ll be releasing my podcast on the financial astrology of July 2026 very soon. It’s a podcast format this time because there is so much going on.

If you’d like to further support my work and gain insight into your own personal financial astrology and wealth timing, I offer a range of personal Financial Astrology services on my Store.

Om Shanti,

$WLD | WorldCoin

$WLD is the native token of the Worldcoin network - the iris-scanning “proof of personhood” project linked to Sam Altman.

Birth Time Source: October 17th 2024, 09:30 AM in San Francisco

This gives us a Scorpio ascendant with Mercury and Venus rising in the 1st, the Sun tucked away in the 12th, and Jupiter in the 8th house of other people’s money and shared resources - a fitting placement for a token whose entire thesis is pooled identity and shared infrastructure.

Transiting Jupiter will sextile the natal Uranus on June 13th was highly positive, with WLD up 26% between 9th June and 15th June. There’s a remarkable three hit cluster on June 19th as Jupiter trines natal Neptune and squares the natal Moon followed by Jupiter trine natal Venus and opposite natal Pluto, both exact around June 29th. That’s quite a mixed bag for Worldcoin but seems volatile yet bullish.

Longer term, transiting Pluto squares natal Mercury exactly at the end of February 2027, alongside Jupiter squaring the natal Ascendant around the same time. This is a very bearish time, indicating that early 2027 could be a period of structural or regulatory pressure that reduces price action significantly.

However, July 2030 looks like the most potent time as we see transiting Uranus at 21 Gemini conjoin the natal Jupiter in the chart. Transiting Jupiter is also conjoined the natal Ascendant, so if the proof-of-personhood protocol does become widely used, Worldcoin could benefit from this a lot over the next 4 years.

Bottom Line: Bullish June, Bearish February 2027, Bullish 2030

$LASE | Laser Photonics Corp

Laser Photonic Corp has had a nuclear bomb of growth and a huge drop over the last week. It’s up 145% over the past month.

The tiny industrial tech company sells laser cleaning and surface prep machines, and right now the market treats it as a highly speculative, story driven micro cap. The stock exploded following a major $13.2 million order from the US Navy.

Birth Time Source: September 30th 2022 at 10:20 AM In New York.

Between May 7th and the present time, we saw the following positive bullish indicators in the stock chart:

• Transiting Uranus trine natal Venus

• Sun conjunct Uranus on May 7th

• Neptune conjunct natal Jupiter (Over-Optimism)

• Pluto trine the Sun within 2 degrees.

Can it sustain the rally? Party yes. I think there’s more positivity for this company occurring in January 2027. At this point in time, transiting Uranus is trine the natal Venus exactly, transiting Jupiter conjoins the midheaven, and transiting Pluto trines the natal Sun/Venus conjunction within a few degrees.

The chart is well-supported through June. Jupiter trine natal Neptune, and transiting Uranus sextile natal Jupiter, goes exact June 21st - the summer solstice. This can indicate further sudden expansion, the kind of contact that fits a surprise order pop.

In July, Jupiter will trine the natal Jupiter and the natal Moon by July 27th.

September sees Neptune conjoining natal Jupiter which can indicate over-optimism. Jupiter opposing natal Saturn on September 27th can also see some pullbacl.

December is more bearish as transiting Saturn opposes the natal Sun in this chart on December 10th, with Neptune opposing the natal Venus.

Bottom Line: Bullish June/July, Bearish December 2026, Bullish January 2027

$NAT | Nordic American Tankers

is up 89% over the last year and around 56% year to date. The shipping company makes its money moving crude oil around the world on mid-sized tankers. It’s highly tied to the global oil and freight cycle. It’s a small cap, potentially high beta shipping stock.

Around July 18th 2026, the sky forms what astrologers have been calling “The Barbault Basket” - a grand configuration where four heavyweight planets sit almost exactly on the 4th degree of their signs. Jupiter at 4 Leo, Pluto at 4 Aquarius, Uranus at 4 Gemini, Neptune at 4 Aries. Jupiter opposes Pluto, sextiles Uranus and Neptune, and Uranus trines Pluto.

Any natal chart carrying important points near 4 degrees of almost any sign gets lit up from several directions simultaneously.

So, I’ll get straight to the point. Here are 6 interesting stocks who’s natal charts are getting lit up by the incoming basket formation. Please confluence this with your own technical and fundamental analysis. Again, these are not bullish/bearish calls in and of themselves, they simply present very interesting astrology on the IPO charts of these companies. Let’s dive in.

AAPL | Apple Inc

Apple has entered a new era with a new CEO. Up 52% over the last 12 months, the market is anticipating that the sales of a new generation of Mac Mini will boost sales and stock price further. Using the IPO data of 12th December 1980 at 09:30am in New York, a bullish period of transiting Jupiter trining the natal Uranus will occur from June 19th to June 30th if we allow for a 3 degree orb.

We also see transiting sun in trine to the natal Uranus from July 19th to July 23rd if we allow for a 3 degree orb.

Whilst there will undoubtedly be dips and volatility along the way after July, the medium term target date is August 26th 2026, when transiting Jupiter in the 8th house will conjoin the natal node north, a bullish indicator.

This gives us strong probability of a bullish period for Apple between June and August. This positive period aligns with several key dates for the company, with June 18th being flagged as a possible product or corporate announcement date, although Apple havn’t confirmed anything specific. It appears Apple are using the astrology for this date (or, the astrology is using Apple) as this is the date that the transiting Jupiter in trine to natal Uranus goes exact, so this window seems very positive for .

The next most strongest period is June 2027, where we see transiting Uranus in trine to the natal Jupiter - so summer 2027 also seems very bullish.

According to MarketBeat, there are 35 analysts covering Apple with 23 saying Buy, 11 saying hold and 1 saying sell, with an average price target of $310.31.

Bottom Line: Positive June-August 2026.

APP | Applovin Corp

PART I: THE RETROSPECTIVE

The market continued to surge to new highs throughout May, carried primarily by AI and tech companies. The rally seems to correlate almost perfectly with the ongoing Uranus in Gemini trine to Pluto in Aquarius which began April 27th and is still underway, and it looks like this euphoria can continue into July at the peak of the trine on July 7th at least before the next correction comes, with some bumps along the way.

Famed investor Micheal Burry still says it looks like 1999. The story seems simple - Bulls think the AI revolution is here to stay and provide infinite growth and value on a scale never witnessed before, while the bears say a melt up is occurring with self reinforcing sentiment creating a blow off top formation, with a hard reversal coming soon.

Meanwhile, the deceptive war tactics of Saturn and Neptune in Aries continue. Trump continues his market sentiment bait and switches. One day a peace deal tweet sends oil down, the next day more bomb threats come.

This is clearly intentional, and we’re witnessing a highly calculated war full of all sorts of illusions and deception tactics. The case of the boy who cried wolf is evident now with the Trump tweets.

Sovereign bond yields moved higher in several markets, indicating the market sees higher inflation, higher interest rates and greater risk in the market forming, and I’d agree with them as we’re just at the beginning of Neptune in Aries which can bring high inflation.

The risks of market euphoria are now obvious, but the astrology suggests we can ride this wave up until July, at least until the Jupiter-Pluto opposition shows its hand. Ride the wave while you can, because the second half of the year is looking quite bearish.

PREDICTIONS LEDGER

How did our predictions perform in May?

• “We could see some interesting Wallstreet and Epstein file related news and a small market dump around the Scorpio Full Moon which starts off the month”

Partial. On May 6th we saw a US Judge release Mr.Epsteins Purported Suicide Note. The wallstreet related news was indeed those new all time highs being made at the start of May, which has only continued throughout the month. There was no dump around the full moon - quite the opposite as positive momentum launched.

• “the Sun Mercury conjunction in Taurus on May 14th followed by the Mercury and Sun conjunctions to Uranus from May 17th to 22nd seem the most relevant days of the month - particularly active for Donald Trump, Crypto, and Technology stocks.”

Hit. The senate banking committee approved the clarity act precisely on May 14th with bipartisan support, moving the bill forward. Crypto rallied on the vote. Meanwhile, Trump attended bilateral talks in China, making his address in which he stated “The relationship between China and the USA is going to be better than ever before.”

• “the square we see on May 26th may relate to an escalation or Major Tension in the US Iran Conflict and Hormuz Standoff, especially as Mars is in Taurus, the sign of natural resources.”

Hit. The U.S. military announced it struck Iranian boats and missile launch sites on May 25th in Southern Iran - just as the square aspect was perfecting.

• “Bitcoin: If bullish momentum sustains, we could see it enter the 80K region.”

Hit. Bitcoin safely surged to 82K by May 6th, hovering around the 70k level until ending the month around 76K

• “The astrology looks pretty bearish for gold this month. May 11th bearish. May 18th Bearish”

Hit. Gold had a volatile month, finishing the month down 2.2%, but saw a surge of 4.7% from May 5th to May 12th. The bearish May 18th period really began May 14th through to the end of the month where we saw a drop of 5% from May 14th to May 27th.

• “On May 11 we see transiting Venus in Gemini trine the natal North Node which is a supportive sense of Greed for oil.”

Hit. Between the 10th May and 12th May oil rose 7.38%.

• “Oil towards $110-$115”

Miss. Oil hovered around $100 and crashed down at the end of the month towards $89 on potential peace deal news.

• “So, the main thing that could impact oil markets in May would be more erratic trump tweets.”

Partial. Whilst I was eying up May 14th for a trump tweet (this was when he made his speech in China) it was an end of month tweet of a peace deal being near that saw oil drop over 9% between May 21st and May 27th on the Sun-Uranus conjunction in Gemini.

• “The Mars-Chiron conjunction in Aries just 2 days later is quite a violent conjunction indicating wounds and aggression. Is Trump making a military announcement here?”

Miss. The Mars-Chiron conjunction thankfully didn’t bring any violent news up.

• “In the chart for Iran, transiting Saturn conjoins the natal Sun of this chart on May 8th, which looks very challenging for Iranian Leadership and government. This is the most potent marker of the month for Iran.

Hit. US forces attacked two Iranian-flagged oil tankers in the Gulf of Oman on May 8th, which were allegedly violating the blockade leading to further US–Iran exchange of fire near Hormuz

• It’s a good time to research strong energy companies. For example, Northern Oil & Gas ($NOG) who will see Sun and Uranus conjunct the natal Venus of the IPO chart around May 22nd

Miss. Down 20% on the month - I‘m still bullish for energy over the next year, although the company made its first move into Canada by agreeing to buy a 25% stake in light-oil assets in Alberta’s Duvernay shale on May 27th.

• Markets continue a “blow-off top” momentum in May, driven by optimism that may later trap traders.

Hit. Equities continue to surge bullishly. RSI is at 62, not quite hot enough to confirm a blow off top, but the SPY S&P 500 ETF has been trading above its 200 day moving average for 36 trading days. I think this bullish sentiment generally continues until early July, as Uranus into Gemini trining Pluto in Aquarius has proven itself a bullish indicator for all things tech and AI, at least temporarily. That peak of the trine could be the peak of the blow off top.

PART I: CRYPTO & DeFi

ZEC | Zcash

Zcash is a highly promising Bitcoin alternative. I don’t say that lightly - there are rumours and speculation that the original “Satoshi Nakamoto” later contributed to the design of Zcash.

Zcash has had a roaring month up 84% to 662 dollars. Zcash is one of the most “quantum prepared” coins on the market, which could be incredibly valuable as we head towards the next 7 years of Uranus in Gemini and Pluto in Aquarius - the decryption threat from quantum computers needs to be taken seriously.

The SEC closed its investigation into the Zcash Foundation without enforcement action in early 2026.

For the chart data, I’m using the genesis block date of October 28th, 2016, 1:56 AM, Broomfield, Colorado.

On April 25th we saw Uranus enter Gemini, Zcash’s 11th house of gains, alongside conjoining Venus. The sun was also transiting its 10th house from April 20th to May 20th, this seems to have tracked well with this Zcash surge alongside the broader crypto and equities market in April. (Uranus in Gemini and Pluto in Aquarius are clearly providing all the power to tech, crypto and AI).

The support seems likely to hold without any major correction dip for June - as we see transiting Saturn trine the natal Venus and the natal Saturn - this suggests a new level of support and stability, alongside Jupiter sextiling the midheaven.

July appears to be favourable with Jupiter entering the 1st house of identity and self, but there could be some pullback from a sense of over expansion around late July into august as the Jupiter-Pluto opposition occurs over the 1st/7th house and squares the natal Sun/Mercury conjunction.

There could be some pullback expected alongside the wider Crypto market after the August 12th Leo eclipse - this eclipse squares the natal midheaven within 3 degrees and I’m generally expecting lows in the Crypto market to appear around August-October time period.

Aerodrome is the dominant decentralized exchange on Coinbase’s Base blockchain. It commands nearly 50% of all DEX volume on Base, built without a single dollar of venture capital funding - and a cross chain DEX expansion is slated for July 2026.

For this token, I’m using the chart data of August 27th, 2023, 09:40 PM in Minneapolis, MN

Again, we have to be mindful that alt coin charts, especially those below a certain market cap, are much more likely to operate with the bullish or bearish headwinds of Ethereum and Bitcoin more widely.

It had a very tough Q1, falling in value around 35% between January and March alongside Bitcoin and Ethereum. Equally, with bullish crypto movements in April, it has recovered that 3% loss. So needless to say this is very volatile. Although the fundamentals may be sound, I’d stay away from these smaller cap more speculative alts especially as we enter August through October in 2026. For now, speculative traders may want to use current bullish sentiment in April, May and June to ride an uptrend.

PART I: CRYPTO & DeFi

$WFLI | WORLD LIBERTY FINANCIAL

World Liberty Financial is the Trump family's DeFi governance token, launched in October 2024 as a non-transferable token before going live for trading in September 2025. The token is down roughly 50% over the past three months amid mounting criticism of centralized governance, insider-style activity, and long lockup periods that have left early holders increasingly frustrated. They recently announced they are filing a lawsuit against Justin Sun for defamation.

I’m using chart data of September 1st 2025 at 09:30 AM in Wilmington, Delaware.

Pluto continues to oppose the natal Venus in the chart, the ruler of the ascendant and indicator of value - within 3 degrees, and this is really impacting the value negatively despite Jupiter transiting the 10th.

Uranus will square the Sun around September, and I am expecting a crypto bottom around August to October of this year, which $WFLI will likely get taken down with.

It could become bullish once again after 2026, but I don’t see this as a good long term hold as it’s too closely associated with the market manipulation antics of Trump’s inner circle with much better options for projects with stronger fundamentals, in my humble opinion.

Most astrology that touches on money is fairly vague.

Vedic Astrology is different. The Vedic sages and seers had a specific calculation drawn from their ancient Jyotish texts that produces sensitive points in the chart - points that, when activated by particular planetary periods, correlate with measurable wealth events with incredible precision.

I’ve spent the last six months testing this technique against the charts of nine billionaires, fourteen high net worth clients and a control group of comfortable middle class subjects, alongside my personal clients. The results have been very accurate.

In this article, I’ll walk through three clean examples. Taylor Swift, Bill Gates and Steve Jobs - and what the implications are for predicting wealth timing in CEOs and the stocks they influence.

THE WEALTH ASCENDANT

I’m not going to walk through the full technique and calculation here, it’s quite technical. But the results are interesting.

The technique generates a prosperity point in the natal chart based on the relationship between specific lordships and a proprietary weighting system the ancient astrologers developed.

When the native runs the planetary period or sub period (Mahadasha or Antardasha) of a planet that touches this point, net worth can increase.

BILL GATES AND THE VENUS MAHADASHA | 1982-2002

Gates ran a Venus Mahadasha (A Venus great period) from 1982 to 2002.

This twenty year window covers virtually his entire transformation from Microsoft co-founder to the world’s wealthiest individual. By 1995 he had crossed the billionaire threshold. By 1999, at the peak of the dot-com era, his net worth had reached approximately $100 billion.

In Gates’s tropical chart, Venus sits directly within the prosperity point.

The Venus Mahadasha was always going to be his peak wealth manifestation window. An early astrologer investor who saw this could have invested in Microsoft from the beginning, been patient, and never had to deal with investing again.

We can get more precise though. The Saturn sub-period within it - 1995 to 1998 corresponds with the most explosive phase of Microsoft’s stock appreciation. The technique identifies the specific sub period when wealth increase is most concentrated.

When Venus sits in the prosperity point and the native runs Venus periods, millionaire level wealth becomes karmically available.

STEVE JOBS AND THE VENUS MAHADASHA | 1982 - 2002

Jobs also ran a Venus Mahadasha across the same 1982-2002 window - the same twenty-year period as Gates, despite being born seven months apart.

This window contains the Apple IPO, the Pixar IPO and the foundation of Jobs’s personal billionaire status. The Pixar IPO in 1995 made Jobs’s stake worth $1.1 billion overnight. Within Jobs’s Venus Mahadasha, the Saturn sub-period - 1995 to 1998 - coincides with Pixar’s commercial breakthrough through Toy Story. The Mercury sub-period - 1998 to 2001 - captures his return to Apple and the launch of the iMac that began Apple’s resurrection.

In Jobs’s tropical chart, Venus again sits directly within the prosperity point - the same configuration as Gates. Two layered sub-periods, each corresponding to specific commercial milestones, both occurring within the Venus Mahadasha that the technique flags as his primary wealth window.

TAYLOR SWIFT | JUPITER MAHADASHA

Taylor swift is the wealthiest female musician that ever existed.

Her Jupiter Mahadasha - September 2003 to September 2019 - covers her entire trajectory from Nashville signing to global superstar. By the end of this Mahadasha she had accumulated an estimated $360 million net worth.

But the most explosive wealth window of her life occurred outside the Jupiter Mahadasha. The Eras Tour ran from March 2022 to December 2024, grossing $2.1 billion - the highest grossing tour of all time. Swift crossed the billionaire threshold in May 2024, becoming the first musician in history to reach that status purely through music.

This period falls within her Saturn Mahadasha and Mercury Antardasha. In her tropical chart, Mercury is the ruler of the prosperity point The sub-period activates the wealth increase regardless of the broader Mahadasha context.

CAN THIS BE USED FOR MARKET ALPHA?

Here’s where it gets really interesting for anyone reading this who follows markets and Vedic Astrology.

CEOs and major shareholders have natal charts. Some, we can find. Some are hidden (quite deliberately, in my view.) Those charts, if accurate, have prosperity points. Those points activate during specific planetary periods. When the wealth timing of a key figure aligns with a stock or asset they’re heavily exposed to, the personal wealth window often correlates with significant price action in the underlying stock. We can use this as a solid piece of alpha.

Gates’s Venus Mahadasha mapped to the Microsoft stock explosion. Jobs’s Venus Mahadasha mapped to Apple’s resurrection and Pixar’s IPO. The technique works retrospectively with solid accuracy.

Going forward, I’ll be integrating this type of analysis into my financial astrology research. Expect to see more prosperity windows of relevant CEOs and founders factored into the timing call. Personal karmic timing of the people running companies is a layer of alpha that conventional financial astrology has ignored, and it’s one of the most logical and obvious signals. All we need is patience to trust the technique and see the period through.

For my consultation clients, this technique is one amongst many used in a personal wealth timing analysis. If you’re a high net worth individual, a business owner, or someone trying to understand when your own wealth will accumulate this is one of many techniques we cover together in a session. The technique tells you not just whether wealth is structurally available in your chart (and roughly how much) but the specific years and sub-periods when it manifests most reliably.

THE BOTTOM LINE

This Vedic prosperity point is one of the rarest examples of an ancient technique that still works with measurable precision. It identified Gates’s peak wealth period before Microsoft was profitable. It identified Jobs’s commercial breakthrough years before Pixar existed. It explains the Eras Tour without invoking a single Saturn-related stretch. I also have extensive personal research on Musk, Oprah, Paul Mcartney, Adele, Warren Buffet, and many others.

May is shaped by a widening gap between perception and reality, as the Saturn Neptune backdrop continues to distort market signals, before a concentrated mid month cluster centred on the Taurus Cazimi and Uranus activations raises the probability of geopolitical escalation. Gold, Bitcoin, Trump and Oil are covered.

In this report, we uncover:

1. The blow-off top formation as the continuation of the bull trap

2. The Trump-Uranus indicator and what it tells us about the next major trump tweet

3. What the Mars Pluto square implies for escalation risk, oil markets, and broader macro conditions into the summer

PART I: THE RETROSPECTIVE

Despite fragile peace negotiations, on/off “ceasefires” and another Trump Assassination attempt, equities found themselves making an almost delusional optimistic recovery in April. The S&P 500 soared 8% and recovered all the losses of the war-torn year so far, catching many traders completely off guard.

This is a prime Saturn/Neptune moment. With the conjunction still active, markets can’t seem to decide between the fundamental reality of the economic situation (the Archetype of Saturn) and the delusional optimism of peace trying to ensure the gravy train continues (Neptune).

The market seems increasingly detached from the impending reality of an oil based inflation crisis, a sentence you could construct just from the archetypes of Saturn and Neptune in conjunction. The Strait of Hormuz is still not open due to US blockades. In fact, Trump wants to extend the blockades - a questionable strategy to attempt to force Iranian nuclear capitulation.

The UAE is out of OPEC. Oil is back to $104. The conflicts between the USA, Iran, Israel and Lebanon are far from over and peace talks look set to fail. And yet the biggest reason for the market making its gains was “hope” - a very Neptunian word. The clash between delusional optimism (Neptune) and harsh reality (Saturn) continues in the fiery war domain of Aries.

Meanwhile, with Uranus at the last degree of Taurus, technological and financial disruption abound in the headlines.

10% of Meta’s workforce cut. Microsoft offering buyouts to 7% of its US Staff. A 16% cut of full time staff at Snapchat. And the stock prices, naturally, soared on this news.

With Uranus now making a permanent arrival in technologically oriented Gemini, pre-emptive AI layoffs are accelerating across industries. A planet of technological innovation and speed in the fast, speedy, airy sign of Gemini marks the quickening of a brutal employment market right now.

At lightning speed, companies will get more efficient, shareholders richer, and more workers will be laid off. We are in the era of Pluto in Aquarius. The last time this occurred was during the french revolution. The parallels of the growing technologically caused wealth gap are hard to ignore. The structural case for asset ownership continues to strengthen.

PREDICTIONS LEDGER

How did our predictions perform in April?

Today I’m publishing The Prediction Zone, a complete, publicly auditable archive of every financial astrology prediction I’ve made since the inception of this Substack. Wins, misses, partial calls, and predictions still in play. All of it scored, all of it timestamped, all of it open for any subscriber to fact-check.

In this piece I’ll walk through:

• How to use the Prediction Zone

• Why most financial astrologers won’t publish their misses, and why I think that’s a mistake

• The methodology

• What the numbers actually say

⏱ Estimated Read Time: 8 minutes

PART I | THE CASE FOR TRANSPARENCY

Pundits delete bad calls. Crypto Twitter influencers screenshot the wins and let the rest disappear into the algorithm. The accumulated effect is that an entire industry presents itself as more accurate than it actually is, and the consumer has no way to verify.

I want to do something different.

The Prediction Zone is a single page available to paid subscribers that contains every single financial astrology prediction I’ve made since the inception of this substack. Broad and specific, directional and price-targeted, on stocks, crypto, commodities, currencies, geopolitics, and macro themes. Each prediction is logged with the date it was made, the time window it was supposed to play out in, the astrological reasoning, the source link to where it was originally published, and an outcome score.

Why do I do this?

First, because it’s the right thing to do. If I’m asking subscribers to pay for predictions, they deserve to see how those predictions have actually performed. Not a curated highlight reel - the full record. You can’t make an informed decision about whether to keep subscribing if you can only see the wins.

Second, because it forces me to keep getting better. Once you know that every prediction you make will go on a public scorecard, your incentives shift. Vague calls feel less safe. Specific calls feel more meaningful. How can you trust someone who doesn’t log their predictions?

PART II | THE METHODOLOGY

The scoring system is simple. Each prediction gets one of four verdicts when its time window closes:

• Correct - The prediction played out as called within the predicted window. Worth 1 point.

• Partial - Directionally right but the magnitude, the timing, or a specific detail was off. Worth 0.5 points.

• Incorrect - The prediction did not play out. Worth 0 points.

• Pending - The window hasn’t closed yet, or the outcome isn’t yet clear. Not counted.

Some predictions have year-long windows that haven’t closed yet, but are tracking clearly in one direction. These get a (so far) suffix - they’re counted in the Provisional accuracy rate but not the Conservative one.

The Prediction Zone shows two headline numbers:

• Conservative Accuracy Rate - Counts only fully resolved predictions. This is the strictest reading.

• Provisional Accuracy Rate - Includes the in-progress “(so far)” calls.

WHAT THE DATA ACTUALLY MEANS

The CXO Advisory Group’s landmark study tracked 6,584 forecasts from 68 public market gurus between 2005 and 2012. The average accuracy across all of them was just 47% - barely better than a coin flip. Only 5 of the 68 forecasters (around 7%) ever beat 60% on a meaningful sample. A follow-up re-analysis by Bailey, Borwein, Salehipour and Lopez de Prado, weighting forecasts by horizon and specificity, reached a similar conclusion: only around 16% of forecasters scored above 60%.

Those studies focused on directional calls on the broad market, while my work spans a wider mix of broad themes - stocks, crypto, commodities, geopolitics, world affairs - so the comparison isn’t perfectly like for like. But the bigger point holds: across the public forecasting world, sustained accuracy above 60% on any meaningful sample is rare.

WHAT ACCURACY DOESN’T CAPTURE

Pure accuracy percentage, counterintuitively, isn’t actually the right way to measure value in this work. The numbers count every prediction equally, but the value of any one accurate call can be far greater than several incorrect ones.

Take the Marvell Technology prediction: very bullish in April, published weeks in advance, with the astrological reasoning laid out openly. The stock delivered over 50% gains within the predicted window. A subscriber who acted on that single call paid for their subscription in one trade. Meanwhile, a broader miss like a vague monthly direction call costs nothing but a tally mark in the Incorrect column. The math counts every prediction equally. Your portfolio doesn’t.

The other thing worth weighing is timing. Predicting tomorrow’s price is easy, but calling a bullish month for a specific stock six months out, with the astrological justification published in advance, is a fundamentally harder skill - and it’s the one that demonstrates whether astrology actually has predictive power.

I also won’t pretend my work is static and system-based. The methodology has tightened considerably over the past year as the dataset has grown and certain techniques have proven themselves more reliable than others. Many of the calls in the Incorrect column come from earlier work where I was still calibrating. The trajectory matters as much as the snapshot.
