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.

If you’d like to know when your own wealth windows are scheduled - or you want a personal karmic timing analysis for the year ahead - you can book a session through my services page.

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.

THE INFORMATION REVOLUTION

When Uranus entered Taurus in 2018, a strange thing happened. A small army of young, nerdy, internet native men started putting their savings into something most people thought was a joke. Magic internet money. A speculative tulip mania for the terminally online. Some sort of gambling ponzi scheme internet money which you can only use on buying drugs online.

You know how that ended.

Uranus in Taurus was always going to be about money. Taurus rules value, currency, and the material world. What Uranus brought was the revolutionary, the technological, the unprecedented. The people who understood what Bitcoin was, was Cryptography was, how it all worked, and understood the value of that idea early, were the ones who benefited most over the following seven years. I met a young guy at a social meeting, about 25 years old. I asked what he does, he said he’s retired. There’s only one way that’s possible in this day and age. Congratulations to him!

Uranus enters Gemini on April 25th, 2026. And it will stay there until 2033. That’s a huge outer planet movement with huge societal consequences - and it was always going to be about information.

Gemini rules information, communication, the transaction of ideas, broadcasting, the flow of language and data between minds. It rules what I’m writing and what you’re reading right now. What Uranus brings is disruption, revolution, and a technology that rewrites the rules.

My prediction? I think that technology is prediction markets.

THE EPISTEMIC PROBLEM OF AI

I’m not sure if you know, but we have a huge epistemic crisis impacting the information sphere right now.

The entire information ecosystem - the internet, social media, journalism, academia, think tanks, yes, and Substacks, are being quietly flooded by AI generated slop content. It’s not always obviously bad content, and in fact in can be quite convincing.

AI’s are getting better and better and having plausible, well structured, thoroughly-cited content that can argue any side of any argument with equal fluency in approximately 5 seconds. Do you see the major problems that brings to our global information based society?

Anyone on earth can now generate a 5,000 word geopolitical analysis that reads like it was written by a professor at a university or the head of a giant think tank in 5 seconds for free.

“Oh, but I can spot AI slop content!” Maybe you can right now, but the rate at which those models learn and refine and improve is exponential, so very soon you won’t be able to tell at all.

Soon, even as a chronically online digital native, neither will I. The comment sections of the internet are increasingly populated by people who couldn’t be bothered to think and used AI to sound like they did. And we can be all high and mighty about this, or we can accept it as our current reality which isn’t changing any time soon and will get worse and worse.

Even AI content generators don’t help - many of them think that the American Declaration of Independence was 100% written by AI.

This is the epistemic crisis of our era. It’s a a huge problem which the free market will reward hugely if someone can invent a solution. When everything becomes maximally persuasive through AI content, nothing is inherently trustworthy. Opinions, thoughts, analysis, will all soon collapse into nothing of value. That’s a huge problem and a huge issue that needs to be solved. If such an epistemic problem can be solved, it would obviously be of huge value to the free market.

PUT YOUR MONEY WHERE YOUR MOUTH IS

Prediction markets are simple. Don’t confuse them for “just gambling”. People thought the same about Cryptocurrency. Your article claims the US will strike Iran before March? Put money on it. You think Bitcoin hits $80K in April? Show me. You believe your geopolitical analysis is the most accurate and correct? Put your money where your mouth is. There is now a mechanism that translates that coherent internal belief into a financial position, tracked publicly, settled objectively. Do you see the value of that?

If someone with lots of followers and prestige and position from a think tank or other thought leader type organization comes out with a niche geopolitical analysis that sounds amazing, but DOESN’T have a publicly viewable prediction market bet on that outcome, then this instantly tells us that person doesn’t actually believe their own analysis. They’re not willing to put their money where there mouth is. So how confident should we, the readers be?

This changes everything about how we should follow information in the age of AI generated slop. AI’s don’t bet money on their own output.

When I cite Polymarket data in my financial astrology reports - and I’m doing so more regularly, I’m not citing it because betting markets are infallible and I’m some chronic gambler. I’m citing it because it represents another layer of valuable analysis and confluence in the aggregated global financial conviction of thousands of people who have skin in the game, better analysis than me, better access to something like an objective truth.

The way I see it, these markets essentially filter all of the analysis we as humans could possibly do on a situation before we feel confident enough to stake our resources on it.

I as an individual could put 20 dollars on bitcoin reaching a certain amount - the market gives that a certain weighting. A world class investment firm with access to quantum computers doing millions of analyses per second, and a team of world class psychics for all I care, can now put their analysis opinion on the line in the form of a huge prediction market bet, which gives a certain weighting to the percentage chance outcome. I can simply view the percentage chance of certain outcomes on the market.

See how much noise that cuts through so quickly? It removes all the BS. It requires us as a society to put our money where our mouth is.

The gambling objection is the first thing people raise, understandably. But it’s not like we put it all on red with these platforms - odds raise and decrease over time, we can take our stake out at any time, just like the stock market is a measure of conviction in the company.

And think about it a bit more deeply - every thesis you hold about the world is already a bet, its already an investment in your worldview and level of education. When you believe inflation is coming and buy gold, that’s a prediction market position. When a Substack writer (myself included) tells you Bitcoin will rally in late April, that’s a claim about the future.

If the head of a think tank puts out an analysis on oil in the middle east, he’s putting a bet, an investment, in his worldview. He’s confident. There’s conviction there. So, we are always making predictions unconsciously (you don’t have to be an astrologer to do that) - prediction markets transform that unconscious bet in our worldview into accountability at scale. They reward accuracy rather than persuasive ability - the cost of which is approaching 0 through AI technology.

These prediction markets are, in a world drowning in AI generated confidence, one of the few mechanisms that can tell the difference between someone who actually believes what they’re saying and someone (or something) that is merely very good at saying it.

I’m reminded of a very powerful idea shared by the Indian Guru Sadhguru - he said that soon, there will be so much information in the world that we shouldn’t be suprised that people may deceide to end their lives because of it.

This sounds radical at first, but plausible the more you think on it. Is it good for our mental health to be flooded with the most accurate sounding AI generated analysis on earth 24/7? Who knows - something like a prediction market might let us view what the world thinks at a glance, without flooding our brain with endless information and landing us in a mental health crisis due to excessive information. It sounds radical, but it’s a real possibility in the coming years.

THE URANUS IN GEMINI INVESTMENT OPPORTUNITY

So there we have it - a huge problem in the making. And a lot of reward for anyone who provides a solution to that problem. Uranus in Gemini is providing a 7 year timeline for the maturation of technologies such as prediction markets.

You can’t yet buy shares in Polymarket or Kalshi directly. But you can invest in the companies building the infrastructure around this space and expanding into this space themselves. Look at Fintech companies such as Robinhood ($HOOD).

Destroyed by the market and down 51% over the past 6 months (due to a risk-off move hitting fintech) it’s one of the few publicly tradeable Prediction Market Plays, because prediction markets listed in the “other” category on the app accounted for about $147 million in revenue, or about 12% of total revenue and almost 19% of all transaction-based revenue in the 4th quarter of 2025. That’s a huge signal of where money is shifting!

Yes, Bitcoin was invented in 2009, but just as Uranus was first entering Taurus in 2018, Cryptocurrencies really exploded into the mainstream from then on, and now we’re seeing Uranus enter Gemini, the sign of instant information transfer, this April, for the next 7 years. From the start of Uranus in Taurus in 2018, to it’s departure in April 2026, the total crypto market cap rose roughly 15x from around 0.12 trillion to 2.4 trillion USD.

Therefore, the market right now could be seriously discounting $HOOD’s tradeable value in the hugely emerging Prediction Market space, alongside other fintech companies who are implementing this into their product or service.

$HOOD, alongside many other fintech companies implementing prediction markets, could be a great “shovels” play for making money from the technology that facilitates the solution rather than the bets themselves. Even Interactive Brokers has started expanding into this domain. Keep an eye on fintech companies building the rails for this new information economy. The picks and shovels play could be more reliable than the gold itself.

Beyond investment, there’s something more interesting on offer. We may be entering an era where your prediction market track record becomes a new form of social currency. Just as early Twitter follower counts or Facebook likes carried genuine social signal in 2010 before everyone had them (before they were gamed, bought, and rendered meaningless) a verified public prediction market record could become one of the few ways to demonstrate genuine analytical credibility in a world where words alone prove nothing.

On that note, for the sake of experiment, innovation and rebellion (Uranus in the 10th, what can I say?) I’m going to start experimenting with this myself. I currently keep my stock market portfolio and moves private, but I’ll likely be making more public prediction market positions based on my analysis in the coming months - small at first to test the waters, and maybe even tracking them publicly on this Substack. Not to prove anything in particular, but I think that this emerging “money where your mouth is” principle is one that will be increasingly relevant and needed in a society flooded with AI generated hyper-convincing analysis. If I’m wrong, I’ll have the most powerful motivator to learn more and refine my analysis.

THE IMPERFECTIONS OF THE CURRENT TECHNOLOGY

I appreciate this technology isn't perfect - we cannot ignore the whale effect, where a highly capitalized entity with a specific agenda can drop millions on a niche contract to temporarily manipulate the odds and manufacture a false 'glanceable truth.' However, even with these structural flaws like capital skewing probability, AI infiltrating the trading pool, and the limitations of binary resolution this emerging technology exists currently as “the worst it will ever be”. The financial filter remains our most compelling defense against an information sphere completely drowned in zero cost, hyper convincing AI slop. I hope it can be refined and improved further over the next 7 years to slay the epistemic issue of our era.

There you have it. Uranus in Gemini. The information revolution’s second act. The age of accountability.

Don’t forget to go deeper into your spiritual practice and meditation during this time. Weak minds will succumb and be damaged by information overload. Strong minds, refined with mediation and spiritual practice, will be increasingly needed to survive the information onslaught. Meditation will be a necessity, not a luxury, and that’s how the universe makes us grow towards liberation.

Om Shanti,

Rowan

April is the 2nd most important month of the year. February saw the war begin, April will see it escalate. A rare stellium of seven planets converges in Aries - the sign of fire, war and impulse. A huge market plot-twist looms.

In this report we’ll explore:

• Why a seven-planet Aries stellium unseen since 879 AD is the most geopolitically charged configuration of the decade.

• Price targets and timing windows for Oil, Bitcoin, Ethereum, Gold, and Equities

• Why a crypto bull trap will catch the influencers off guard.

PART 1 | THE BIG PICTURE

MARCH MADNESS

March was a fever dream in the markets. The March 13th Mars-Rahu Conjunction saw the attack by the US and Israel on Kharg Island, Iran’s key oil export infrastructure which handles roughly 90% of their crude oil. In true Mars-Rahu style, Trump announced they had “totally obliterated” every military target on the Island. Oil Prices went haywire, increasing about 20% over the month, and of course Trump’s inner circle were accused of insider trading just before certain announcements were made.

Only a few days later on March 18th , the new moon in Pisces, we saw Israels strike on the South Pars gas field, knocking out 12% of Iran’s gas production, causing immediate energy spikes, with retaliatory strikes from Iran against Qatari and Saudi Energy sites, further scaring the markets.

Trump claimed he didn’t know this was going to happen.

Then, in a moment only adequately described by the communication mess of the Mercury-Rahu conjunction in Pisces on March 23rd, Trump tweeted that talks with Iran were progressing, and we saw a huge candle form on the S&P 500 index immediately, a rush of bullishness in the markets emerged despite Iran saying no such talks had taken place. One man’s tweets control the markets, and such power can easily be abused by his inner circle.

Oil dropped 5% and Bitcoin rallied 3% in mere minutes. Despite all that, after the dust settled, Bitcoin still couldn’t break out of the 70K zone in which it sits.

But things are only going to get more intense in April - I’d describe it as the 2nd most important month of the year.

THE SIGNATURE OF FURY

In April, we see a furious stellium of planets in Aries. Aries, is of course the war sign. A fire sign. An impulsive, competitive and action-oriented sign. This energy is at its peak in April, and specifically the 3rd week of April.

We haven’t seen this exact configuration since May 879, around the time of the Zanj Rebellion in what is now Southern Iraq against the Abbasid Empire. But more recently, a very similar Aries stellium actually occurred in April 2011, which correlated with the peak phase of the Arab Spring Uprisings.

It’s unfortunately obvious then that this war which the US has/hasn’t (??) won is appropriately dubbed “Operation Epic Fury”. It will likely begin to escalate quite dramatically in April. If we look at the chart of Iran, this stellium is occurring right over the natal Sun.

Iran could keep targeting Gulf energy and transport infrastructure as long as attacks on its energy assets continue. This raises the cost of war for everyone else. Saturn inching closer to the natal Sun is a restriction of life-force type signature.

We can see the period of the 14th-29th April to be particularly fierce, with Mars at 11 conjoining Iran’s natal Sun.

Looking at the chart of Israel, (May 14th, 1949, Tel Aviv at 4:00 PM) we see this stellium occur in the 7th house - the house of open enemies. No surprises there.

The oil shock is yet to hit consumer markets and will probably become more of a concern in April.

Welcome to part 3.

To master the Saṃvatsara cycle, you have to understand that Sanskrit functions less like a spoken language and more like a compressed data format. In the Vedic tradition, a single word is rarely just a word, it is a semantic container that expands into a multitude of contextual meanings when unzipped.

In 1985, NASA researcher Rick Briggs published “Knowledge Representation in Sanskrit and Artificial Intelligence” in AI Magazine. Briggs argued that Sanskrit’s rigid, traditional grammatical analysis allows it to represent logical propositions with a level of precision that rivals the artificial languages used in modern AI. It is a language built for perfect knowledge representation.

“Sanskrit is more perfect than Greek, more copious than Latin, and more exquisitely refined than either.” - Sir William Jones

When we apply this “Semantic AI” to the 60 year cycle, we discover that the year names aren’t poetic or random. They are diagnostic. They are technical descriptions of the years flavour.

Let’s look at a few examples where the code pops off the page with chilling accuracy.

History does not repeat, but it certainly rhymes. Often to the beat of a 60 year drum. In Part 2 of this series, we move beyond the theory of Saṃvatsara cosmology and into the cold, hard data of the financial markets. By backtesting over a century of DJIA and NASDAQ data, this report reveals a startling correlation between the five year elemental Yugas and the recurring phases of market "Ignition," "Euphoria," and "Destruction."

In this report we’ll explore:

• The Yuga Growth Curve: A breakdown of the five-year elemental sequence that governs why markets shift from "real growth" to "emotional narrative" before collapsing into ruin.

• The Deity Driven Rotation: Why specific Vedic gods align with historical bull markets

• A comparative analysis of 1929, 1989, and 2026

THE ECONOMICS OF THE SAṂVATSARAS

Welcome to part two. In part one of this series, we explored how the synodic cycle of Jupiter and Saturn constructs a 60 year cycle within Vedic cosmology, each year holding its own unique Sanskrit name and archetype.

But what can this cycle tell us regarding the markets, finances and economics?

2026 | THE PARĀBHAVA YEAR (पराभव)

The two years that fall under the year of Rudra in the Yuga of Visvadeva are 1966 and 2026. This specific year is called Parābhava. In Sanskrit, this translates to defeat, failure, downfall, falling into non-existence, being overpowered, loss of status, or ruination.

We have already seen echoes of this energy, such as the Iran invasion, which has set the geopolitical and economic tone for the rest of the year. Rudra rules the destructive element, while Visvadeva rules the collective, universal aspect of the year. Therefore, this destruction will not be localized. This is an overarching theme that will impact us all financially.

Parābhava is the 40th year in the 60 year cycle. It marks the absolute end of the maturation and sustenance period ruled by Vishnu, and the beginning of the destruction and transformation period ruled by Shiva. Shiva initiates the transformation phase of the 60 year cycle by first putting the world into this state of Parābhava.

Because the Visvadevas represent the "all," a downfall occurring in their Yuga is rarely just a personal stroke of bad luck. It suggests a collective reckoning. It acts as an archetype of "Global Dissolution," where systems, institutions, or societal norms that affect everyone begin to crumble. We are already seeing this narrative dominate the news in 2026: the old world order is fracturing.

THE FINANCIAL SIGNALS OF THE SAṂVATSARAS

Can this ancient cycle reveal any real economic and market signals?

The primary dataset used for this research was the Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA). I selected the DJIA over the S&P 500 because it provides the longest continuous, reliable data, stretching back to 1927, which conveniently aligns with the beginning of our first Epoch of the 60 year Saṃvatsara cycle.

The Bṛhat Saṃhitā of Varāhamihira is an ancient Vedic text that details Vedic Astrology’s unique 60-year cycle: the Bṛhaspati Chakra. The archetypal correlations of these years are shockingly accurate. But can we use these Saṃvatsaras to gain a tangible advantage in the markets?

In this report we’ll explore:

• How to calculate the Vedic 60 year cycle.

• The striking archetypal alignment between the Saṃvatsaras and historical global events (including the COVID-19 years).

• How we can weaponize this ancient cycle for modern financial analysis.

“What has been will be again; what has been done will be done again; there is nothing new under the sun.” - Ecclesiastes 1:9

What do Vedic Astrology, Chinese Astrology, and W.D. Gann have in common? They all recognized that time is fundamentally cyclical.

The Mayans used interlocking calendars to track repeating cycles. Vedic cosmology is explicitly cyclic. Traditional Chinese astrology utilizes a sexagenary (60-year) cycle, and ancient Celtic cultures operated on the wheel of the year.

When did we become so disconnected from this reality? Our modern Western society has conditioned us from childhood to perceive time as linear - a logical, straight-line progression from A to B to C. This linear bias is so deeply ingrained in the Western mind that adopting any other framework feels radical.

But pay attention, and you'll notice your entire existence is ruled by cycles. You claim to have free will, yet your body chemistry operates on a strict circadian rhythm, governed by hormonal, digestive, and sleep cycles. You wake up, go to work, get paid monthly, and eat dinner at the same time every day. Your emotions, moods, actions, and ultimate results in life are inherently tethered to this built-in cyclical mechanism.

No one can overcome this. Try to willpower your way out of your sleep cycle for 72 hours, and you’ll succumb to sleep deprivation psychosis. Ignore the cyclical signals of your digestion system, and you won't last a month. Aligning your life with time cycles isn't just esoteric theory; it is highly practical and directly aids your survival.

Winter, Spring, Summer, Fall. Creation, Maintenance, Destruction. Desire, Action, Result. Empires rise and fall, and our lives experience inevitable peaks and troughs. The very basis of all sound in existence is a complex combination of sine waves that assemble into everything you hear. There are seasons to everything.

CYCLES IN THE FINANCIAL MARKETS

If we as individuals are governed by cycles, then certainly the collective is, too. And if the collective is governed by cycles, we can predict massive shifts in human action and global events. Financial markets are not exempt from this universal phenomenon, contrary to what the megalithic power structure of the financial industry would like you to believe (Spoiler: they do not have your best interests at heart).

It is on this foundational truth that "cyclical analysis" exists as a legitimate branch of technical analysis. W.D. Gann built an entire methodology around time cycles. James Hurst developed "Hurst Cycles." Kondratiev proposed the Kondratiev Waves. We have already demonstrated the power of the 18.6-year real estate cycle. Traders regularly use the four stage market cycle: accumulation, markup, distribution, and markdown (Wyckoff Analysis).

Consumer psychology and market activity are undeniably governed by cyclical momentum, yet investors still risk their capital while chained to linear thinking. The old adage, “Over time, the stock market goes up,” might be technically true, but it is incredibly simplistic, leaves you vulnerable to massive drawdowns, and leaves entirely too much money on the table.

In this two part series, we are diving deep into Vedic Cosmology’s proprietary 60 year Saṃvatsara cycle. We will learn why it works, how it operates, and link it directly to historical market activity to analyze exactly where we are right now, and where we are headed next. This might get complex, but it will fundamentally upgrade your understanding of yearly cycles.

PART 1 | WHAT IS THE SAṂVATSARA CYCLE?

I’d like to fully credit my learning of this model to the fantastic Mr Vic Dicara, a master Jyotishi who kindly allowed me to borrow the graphics that he produced for my own unique research into this topic.

“Saṃvatsara” (संवत्सर) literally translates to “a full year" or "a complete year.” But, because Sanskrit is a multi-dimensional language, it carries vastly deeper translations. Consider these valid alternative translations:

• “The Combined Year / The Master Year” | Refers to the seniority this cycle holds in Vedic cosmology, operating just outside the massive Mahayuga cycles.

• “The Dwelling Place of Living Beings” | Refers to the temporal container in which our collective karma unfolds.

• “The Complete Circuit” | A master time cycle crucial for anticipating major shifts.

Instead of the standard 365 day solar year that dictates our modern calendar, the Saṃvatsara cycle is defined as a “Jovian Year” (a year of Jupiter). It is calculated by tracking the orbital mechanics of the two most prominent Grahas (or planets) in Vedic Astrology and Astronomy - Jupiter (Bṛhaspati) and Saturn (Śani).

Since Jupiter takes roughly 12 years to circle the zodiac (regardless of which one you use) and Saturn takes roughly 30 years, their least common multiple is 60 years.

5 Jupiter Cycles = 60 Years.

2 Saturn Cycles = 60 Years.

At the end of a 60-year period, Jupiter has completed five full orbits around the Sun, and Saturn has completed two. During this time, they conjoin every 20 years. Because both planets are moving forward along the ecliptic, each meeting happens roughly 120 degrees further along the zodiac wheel.

Check out the below animation of this cycle in full screen mode:

Notice how Jupiter returns to the same point in the cycle every 12 years - watch the counter hit 12, 24, 36, 48 and 60. There is one 20 year section, a second conjunction that happens after 20 years 120 degrees apart, and a final conjunction that happens 20 years later 120 degrees after the previous one.

While its original discoverer is lost to pre-history, this cycle is formally documented in the Bṛhat Saṃhitā, an astronomical work accredited to Varāhamihira in approximately 505 to 587 CE. Chapter 8 of this text is titled “Bṛhaspati-cāra” or “The Movements of Jupiter.”

Varāhamihira’s specific contribution was dividing the 60 year Bṛhaspati Chakra into 12 sub cycles (Yugas) of 5 years each. Why 5 years? Because Jupiter cycles the zodiac 5 times within the 60 year master cycle.

Each 5 year Yuga contains years with specific names and symbolic archetypes

SAṂVATSARA YUGAS | THE ARCHETYPES OF THE YEAR

Within any 5-year Yuga, the years follow a strict sequence of fortune and quality:

1. Samvatsara: Total rain. Equal fortune and growth throughout the year.

2. Parivatsara: Edge rain. Fortune at the beginning of the year, tapering off later.

3. Idavatsara: Abundant rain. Heavy fortune throughout the year.

4. Anuvatsara: Late rain. Fortune arrives at the tail end of the year.

5. Vatsara: No rain. Drought, scarcity, and lack of fortune all year.

Furthermore, Varāhamihira assigned a specific Vedic deity to rule each year, imbuing it with a predictable archetype:

• Samvatsara (Agni): Fire, Heat, Ignition, Initiative.

• Parivatsara (Aditya): The Sun, The Whole, Consolidation.

• Idavatsara (Soma): The Moon, Water, Feminine Nourishment.

• Anuvatsara (Vāyu): Wind, Dispersion, Pushing Away, Spreading.

• Vatsara (Rudra): The Destroyer, necessary destruction to birth a new cycle.

When we map these 5 year cycles across the 12 ruling deities of the larger 60 year cycle, a highly specific matrix emerges. Let’s start the cycle using 1927 as “Year Zero.”

You might be saying “Ok Rowan, I see the gods you just mentioned on the top, but what about the gods on the side?” These gods give greater detail to the archetypes of the year. To put it briefly:

• Vishnu = Shelter

• Brihaspati = Expansion

• Indra = Passion

• Agni = Initiative

• Tvaṣṭā = Engineering & Weapons

• Ahirbudhnya = Wealth

• Pitṛ = Death

• Visvadeva = Unification

• Soma = Fertility

• Indragni = Politics

• Asvin = Health

• Bhaga = Leadership

• Agni = Initiative

• Aditya = Consolidation

• Chandra = Emotion

• Vayu = Dispersion

• Rudra = Destruction

So, each year has a specific quality to it determined by the blend of significations of the associated gods. So, we can create the following matrix.

HOW TO READ THE MATRIX | HISTORICAL PROOF

How do we make sense of all this? Let's look at a recent example: 2020.

2020 was a Vāyu (Wind/Dispersion/Air) and Pitṛ (Death) year. What did we experience globally? An airborne virus that spread across the planet, resulting in mass casualties.

To prove this isn’t a fluke, let’s look at the cycle beginning in 1927.

ORMAT TECHNOLOGIES ($ORA)

Ormat Technologies Stock has been performing well, up 20% over the last 6 months and up 49% over the past 12 months. Ormat are a pure-play renewable energy company. They design, build, own, and operate clean energy facilities globally. ORA is trading at a premium. Its Price-to-Earnings (P/E) ratio sits around 53x to 54x, which is quite high. Investors are paying a premium for expected growth, which makes the stock a bit sensitive to any operational missteps.

The company will be supplying up to 150 MW of new geothermal power specifically for Google’s data center operations in Nevada, which is an excellent signal for long term growth.

Out of the analysts covering ORA, the average 12-month price target is hovering around $128 to $129, which implies roughly an 18% to 20% upside from the current price. Targets range from a low of $111 to a high of $148.

For Ormat’s chart I’m using November 11th, 2004 at 09:30 AM in New York as per the Form 8-K filed directly by Ormat Technologies with the SEC on November 24, 2004.

March 2026 is another inflection month where optimistic equity indices collide with deteriorating economic data, the Iran-USA conflict and heavy-hitting astrological transits across major market charts. Equities, Bitcoin, silver, Oil and Copper are all seen as sensitive to this backdrop, with particular risk of volatility spikes and downside shocks later in the month.

Key Dates:

• March 13th - Mars-Rahu Conjunction

• March 20th - NYSE Stress Window Opens

• March 21st - Bitcoin Stress Window Opens

⏱ Estimated Read Time: 5 Minutes

MARCH 2026

March presents a key month ahead. We’re still under the effects of the Lunar Eclipse in Virgo and Mercury retrograde - which is due to end around the 20th March. The fire horse year has just started too, and as predicted in my podcast on February - the tone for the rest of 2026 has been well and truly set after the Mars-Uranus square brought about the Iran-USA conflict.

The S&P 500 and Nasdaq look toppy, but continue to show decent strength, which seems to be eerily disconnected from the reality. The markets saw a shock drop on the day of the Lunar Eclipse of March 3rd, where a drop across most markets dramatically occurred and recovered in the space of hours.

The economy is doing worse than expected as we enter March, as employers shed 92,000 jobs in February despite the Government expecting an increase of 50,000 jobs as the unemployment rate grew to 4.4 percent. With increasing AI layoffs and market disruption in the face of the Iran war, cracks might start to show in the next few weeks in the markets, as a few key astrological transits occur for the NYSE chart and the NASDAQ chart:

The NYSE chart will see Pluto directly squaring the natal Venus on March 20th whilst Chiron is within a degree of the natal Saturn. The Moon is only 3 degrees away from the natal moon position on this day with the Sun conjunct the south node at 0 Aries whilst Saturn slowly makes his way over the early 10th house.

As for the NASDAQ:

Whilst there are actually many positive and supportive transits, what we have to look out for in mid to late March is the Saturn and Neptune squaring the natal Venus from the 12th house. Jupiter may be exalted in the 3rd but will also square the natal Uranus at this time causing negative volatility.

It seems as if the main indices are completely trying to ignore what is happening in the world and the likely economic consequences, but it cannot hide from the reality for too long.

The most dangerous date of the month in general is March 13th, where we see a Mars-Rahu conjunction, one of the more negative ones in Vedic Astrology. This takes place in Satabishak Nakshatra, associated with Healers, Physicians, Doctors and medicine. Pisces, being the most religious sign, means that the Iran war rhetoric is likely to become more religious in tone, which will scare the markets further most likely.

BITCOIN

Bitcoin, after having seen a Mercury-retrograde trend reversal to 70K caught many bulls in a trap (never trade when Mercury is retrograde) and swiftly saw it come back down to the 67K range. The most bearish transit of the month is undoubtedly Saturn conjoining Bitcoin’s natal Moon, if we are to lay faith in the 3rd January 2009 at 18:30 London UK chart.

Saturn will conjoin Bitcoin’s Moon on the 21st March whilst transiting Sun squares Pluto and transiting Uranus squares the natal Venus within a few degrees, quite possibly creating negative shocks to the downside. I wouldn’t be surprised to see Bitcoin near the 60K range by the end of March. This will obviously create further negativity in the crypto market. Beware anyone who’s overly bullish.

SILVER

Silver continues its incredible volatile journey towards price-readjustment in the long term. The Lunar Eclipse of March 3rd saw Silver reach $95 before crashing back down to lows of around $79 on the day of the lunar eclipse. The market is becoming much more aware of the manipulation tactics used by the Comex exchange, with the Bank of America recently putting out a $300 target on silver.

The 14th March sees the transiting Sun at 24 pisces trine the natal Jupiter at 23 Cancer whilst Jupiter begins to station direct. Transiting Venus is also conjunct the north node, hopefully making for bullish news around this time. I’ve made inaccurate calls on Silver in the past, so take this with a grain of salt.

As of January 1st 2026, China brought in a new export license regime that reclassifies refined silver from a normal commodity to a “strategic material” on par with rare earths, with strict one order one approval style controls. Do you want to be bearish on Silver when China has designated it strategically important?

OIL

Oil has had a crazy 28% rise in the past 5 days, which is almost unprecedented, specifically arising within the key time window I gave of the Saturn Neptune Conjunction of the 20th February and the Lunar Eclipse of March 3rd. The eclipse took place just 1 degree away from the natal moon in the Drake Oil Strike chart that I use, and so we will likely still see the effects well into April, which should be the next key stage of the Iran situation.

COPPER

Traders may want to position themselves for Copper related Assets, which I think will do particularly well around April. Freeport McMoran looks to do well in April.

GOLD

From the low of the lunar eclipse on March 3rd, Gold is only up about 3% to $5100, which is weaker than anticipated based on the increasing insecurity in the world. The classic safe-haven is likely to benefit from increasing instability in the middle east especially around April. Gold is under some rather positive transits so I anticipate slow and steady increase especially starting in late March into April. Late July into August is still the danger zone for Gold this year. As the conflict likely expands regionally in the next 6 months to a year, I see no reason to be bearish on Gold in the short, medium and long term.

CONCLUSION

Overall, traders need to be cautious this month as the number one event to look out for is obviously the rippling karmic effect of the Iran situation. The Fire Horse Year has only just begun.

In Part 1, we backtested 130 years of industrial history. Now, we look forward. As the supportive Safety Net of the Saturn-Uranus sextile expires on March 1st, 2026, the global economy enters a high-volatility transition toward the most significant conjunction of our lifetime. From the democratization of energy to the rise of AI-agent commerce, this is the roadmap for the Sentient Economy of 2031.

Key Dates:

• March 1, 2026: Expiration of the Saturn-Uranus Sextile (Supportive “Training Wheels” come off).

• 2027–2028: The Uranus-Pluto Trine (The “Explosive Innovation” window for AI and Space).

• June 28, 2032: Exact Saturn-Uranus Conjunction in Gemini (The Genesis of the Sentient Economy).

THE SATURN/URANUS SEXTILE OF 2025-2026

We have been living under an astrological aspect that has acted as a supportive shock absorber for the global markets: the Saturn-Uranus sextile. This period of harmonious integration began in April 2025 and is set to conclude on March 1st, 2026.

The divergence in the markets over the last year has been a masterclass in cycle dynamics. Despite Bitcoin having a challenging year, as my previous analysis predicted, the S&P 500 managed to reach record highs as recently as January.

I suspect this "melt-up" is structurally unsustainable. The Saturn-Uranus sextile has been the invisible hand protecting the markets from the burgeoning headwinds of 2026. A sextile provides opportunity and flow, allowing the status quo (Saturn) to adopt just enough innovation (Uranus) to stay afloat. However, as this aspect perfection ends on March 1st, the protective buffer vanishes. We are about to see how the markets perform when the training wheels are removed.

The 45-year Saturn-Uranus synodic cycle is the ultimate cycle of industrial and economic evolution. It tracks the synthesis between established structural systems and disruptive, futuristic innovation.

By unpacking the historical alignment of these two forces, we can identify the precise windows where scientific breakthroughs, market collapses, and systemic resets occur.

This report backtests the cycle from the industrial age through to 2021, setting the stage for the massive "Sentient Economy" conjunction coming in 2031.

Key Dates:

• March 1897 - the start of our industrial age as we know it.

• March 1st, 2026: The expiration of the supportive Saturn-Uranus Sextile - the markets “safety net” begins to withdraw.

• June 2031: The Great Conjunction in Gemini - the official birth of the Sentient Economy and AGI.

⏱ A 20-Minute Read

THE SATURN / URANUS CYCLE

Much like the 18.6-year nodal cycle, the Saturn-Uranus synodic cycle is a fundamental pillar of macro-astrology, world history and finance. It serves as a leading indicator for shifts in economic structures, scientific leaps, and the industrial changing of the guard.

The archetypal tension here is clear. Saturn represents the establishment: government regulation, the status quo, restriction, and the entropy of aging systems. It is the time-tested, the solid, and the “old way.” Uranus, at the opposite end of the spectrum, embodies the spirit of rebellion: innovation, technology, volatility, and the futuristic disruption of the new.

When these two forces collide in major aspect, the result is a great synthesis. The cycle governs the transmutation of decaying economic and societal worldviews into modern ones. Ideally, this process is coordinated, where innovation enhances rather than purely destroys, and the avant-garde is integrated into the old guard.

Historically, when these two planets aspect, the world experiences the pleasant and painful growth of innovation. New scientific theories emerge, radical technologies rewrite the rules of the global economy, and a new normal is solidified within the mass consciousness.

The financial markets are obviously, inextricably linked to this process. The layered web of planetary alignment, societal progress, and market momentum is a complex, integrated chain of cause and effect, one that most market participants simply passively observe without understanding the underlying clockwork.

The historical correlation is impossible to ignore. Major structural shifts have consistently emerged during peak Saturn-Uranus aspects:

• The Birth of the Industrial Revolution

• The Launch of the Dow Jones Industrial Average

• The Automotive Boom & Mass Production

• Einstein’s Theory of Relativity

• The Creation of the Federal Reserve (1913)

• The Solidification of the 40-hour Work Week

• The Geopolitical Realignment of WWII

• Bretton Woods: The Birth of the IMF and World Bank

• The Nuclear Age & Cold War Escalation

• The 2008 Global Credit Crunch

This synodic cycle lasts approximately 45 years. It begins with the Conjunction and evolves through a series of crisis points and growth phases. There’s the waxing sextile and square, the opposition, then the waning square and sextile before returning to another conjunction.

THE ARCHITECTS OF THE CYCLE

Who first pioneered this cycle as a leading economic indicator? While it remains a hidden tool in the modern analyst's kit, its origins are deeply rooted in 20th-century scholarship. André Barbault, the famous French astrologer, is arguably the most significant figure in this field. He spent decades studying a “cyclic index" of the outer planets, proving a direct correlation between planetary alignments, global stability, and major economic crises.

What’s weird is that this cycle of innovation and economic momentum exists independently within the world of sociology and mainstream economics.

The Saturn-Uranus cycle eerily mirrors the Kondratiev Wave, proposed in 1922 by the Soviet economist Nikolai Kondratiev. The Kondratiev Wave identifies long economic cycles of 40 to 60 years (placing our 45-year synodic cycle perfectly within the sweet spot of his data). Kondratiev argued that capitalist economies undergo massive waves of technological evolution, resulting in distinct periods of long-term booms and systemic busts. He famously predicted the collapse of the Soviet Union decades in advance using this exact outer-planet index.

This model accurately tracks the economic, sociological, and technological pulses of the last two centuries. The Saturn-Uranus cycle simply provides the clockwork behind these waves in a bit more detail.

Let’s go into the detail of the key economic events that occurred during the Saturn/Uranus Synodic cycle, and what it predicts about our very near financial future.

THE CONJUNCTION OF 1897 | THE GENESIS OF THE DOW JONES

Our journey begins on January 6, 1897, with the Conjunction of Saturn and Uranus in the intense, transformative sign of Scorpio. This seed point of the cycle coincided with a key formalization of the financial world: the birth of the Dow Jones Industrial Average and the rise of heavy industrial monopolies.

Before the Dow, if you wanted to know how the market was doing, you had to look at every single company one by one. Charles Dow realized that if he took a small group of the most important companies, added their stock prices together, and divided by the number of companies, he’d get a single number.

It sounds simple today, but this was the birth of market psychology as we know it. We shifted from analyzing isolated businesses to understanding "The Market" as a singular, living entity. Saturn provided the structural framework, while Uranus provided the revolutionary perspective.

This era also had a crucial innovation in science, the discovery of the electron. This is the innovative spark (Uranus) into how reality works (Saturn). This made the field of electronics possible, which lead to the computer and the internet. You can see how this conjunction in 1897 seeded the everyday reality we now live in, and just how alien (or, Uranian) our reality would be to people living in those times.

THE WAXING SEXTILE | JUNE 1905: THE APEX OF INDUSTRIAL POWER

By the summer of 1905, the cycle reached its first waxing sextile, a period of harmonious expansion and the integration of the seed planted in 1897.

This transit coincided with the emergence of Albert Einstein’s Special Theory of Relativity. It is difficult to overstate the disruptive impact this had on science, energy, and the global economy. Einstein provided the ultimate Uranian breakthrough that would eventually lead to the nuclear age. In astrological terms, this was the moment our understanding of reality (Saturn) was forever altered by innovation (Uranus).

Simultaneously, the industrial monopolies that were born during the conjunction, monoliths like U.S. Steel and Standard Oil, had matured. They were no longer upstarts, they were the new establishment.

As the sextile perfected throughout the summer and fall of 1905, the Dow Jones Industrial Average hit 100 for the first time in history, breaking a massive psychological resistance level. This market tear was further fuelled by the North Node’s ingress into Leo on August 24, 1905. As I’ve detailed in my work on the Nodal Cycle, this 18-month window marked a definitive peak in the global economic engine.

THE WAXING SQUARE | JUNE 1909: THE BIRTH OF CENTRALIZED CONTROL

By June 6, 1909, the cycle reached its first point of major friction: the waxing square. This is the moment where the growth of the previous decade hits a structural wall, demanding a reorganization of the system.

The years surrounding the 1909 square provided the most significant Saturnian restructuring in American history - the road to the Federal Reserve. This was a direct reaction to the panic of 1907. Saturn (the establishment) sought to capture and regulate the wild volatility of the markets (Uranus).

In June 1909, Congress also began the serious legislative work on the 16th Amendment - the Federal Income Tax. This was the ultimate Saturnian maneuver. By pivoting the burden of funding the state from tariffs to a direct tax on the "industrial magnates" who had grown wealthy during the 1897 conjunction, the government solidified its grip on the nation’s wealth.

However, the Uranus spark was not to be outdone. This period saw the mass-market launch of the Ford Model T.

While the car represented technological freedom (Uranus), the assembly line represented the rigid, disciplined structure of Saturn. This combination birthed the automotive age and the modern way of life we rely on today. It was a stressful, volatile period that forced the “old guard” to create new systems of control to manage the explosive potential of human innovation.

THE OPPOSITION | APRIL 1920: THE FORGOTTEN COLLAPSE

This opposition was tough. It played out against a backdrop of total geopolitical and biological exhaustion. There was the aftermath of World War I to deal with and the tail end of the Spanish Flu pandemic.

During WWI, the economy was on steroids. War is often artificially bullish - government spending reaches astronomical levels, and industrial output is forced into a 24/7 frenzy. However, when the Armistice was signed, the war economy evaporated overnight. Millions of soldiers returned to a domestic labor market just as the government ceased its massive procurement of tanks, ships, and uniforms.

The result was a structural pivot so violent it caused the Depression of 1920–1921. While the 1929 Wall Street Crash dominates the history books, the 1920 collapse was a brutal, 18-month deflationary shock that saw wholesale prices drop more sharply than at any other time in American history. It was a classic Saturnian "cleansing" of the Uranian excesses of war spending.

At the same time ,the Uranus influence manifested through radical social liberation. The Women’s Suffrage movement reached its peak and lead to something that is taken for granted today in modern liberal democracies - which also, whether you like it or not, improved economic productivity.

When all peoples are equal, they are also equal consumers and producers. We really saw this by the time the neoliberal world order of the 1970s began, where true equality meant that everyone had an equal opportunity and obligation to work and consume. This lead to the death of the nuclear family and a much stronger economy, but the majority of the wealth that was created was sucked up to the top 1% over the decades, which is why a modern couple both working full time feel objectively poorer than a one-income household in the 1960’s.

THE WANING TRINE | 1926: THE GOLDILOCKS ERA

The trine aspect is usually the most positive and supportive aspect. And indeed, late 1925 through 1926 represents the goldilocks years of the roaring ‘20’s.

By 1926, the global economy achieved a state of near-perfect equilibrium. Inflation remained low, employment reached record highs, and the U.S. government was running a massive fiscal surplus.

This was the moment the 40-hour work week was standardized -a classic Saturn-Uranus synthesis. Saturn provided the rigid, legal structure of the time-block, while Uranus provided the humanitarian liberation from the grueling, endless labor of the previous century.

It is also worth noting the astrological confluence here. As per the 18.6-year nodal cycle, Rahu (the North Node) was in Leo. As I have detailed in my previous reports, this is the most bullish signal in the nodal cycle. When you overlay the Saturn-Uranus trine with a Leo North Node, you get an economic environment that feels invincible. What could go wrong?

THE WANING SQUARE | 1930–1932: THE DEPTHS OF THE GREAT DEPRESSION

The square once again represents the challenging aspect of the economic cycle. The period from 1930 to 1932 saw the Saturn-Uranus cycle manifest as total psychological and structural paralysis.

While the 1929 Wall Street crash provided the initial shock, it was the perfecting of the square in the subsequent years that earned the Great Depression its name. This was the archetype of high friction bleeding into the reality of everyday life. In December 1930, the Bank of United States failed. It was the largest bank failure in U.S. history at that time, shattering what little public confidence remained.

By the time the square reached its final peak in 1932, Unemployment reached a staggering 25% in the United States and the Dow Jones hit its rock bottom, having lost nearly 90% of its value from the 1929 peak.

This period marked the definitive end of the industrial era birthed by the conjunction in 1897. The system had become too rigid, and the square forced a painful liquidation of the old order to make room for the next Great Conjunction.

THE CONJUNCTION | 1941–1943: THE ATOMIC RESET

This period marked the death of the old world and the seeding of the modern globalist era. The Conjunction represents a fresh cycle of society and changing innovation born out of the absolute necessity of war.

The Manhattan Project perfectly encapsulated this conjunction. The Uranian spark (the radical splitting of the atom) harnessed within a rigid Saturnian structure (the military-industrial complex, maintained under unprecedented secrecy). It was during this cycle that J. Robert Oppenheimer famously invoked the Bhagavad Gita: “Now I am become Death, the destroyer of worlds.”

As a student of Vedic Principles, It’s worth noting the Sanskrit verse does not literally say this. Sanskrit notoriously takes a lot of skill to correctly interpret and translate.

श्रीभगवानुवाच
कालोऽस्मि लोकक्षयकृत्प्रवृद्धो
लोकान्समाहर्तुमिह प्रवृत्तः ।
ऋतेऽपि त्वां न भविष्यन्ति सर्वे
येऽवस्थिताः प्रत्यनीकेषु योधाः ॥११.३२॥

This verse translates to “I am time, the mighty destroyer of the worlds, now fully arisen, engaged here to annihilate these worlds; even without you, none of these warriors arrayed in the opposing armies will remain”.

The main mix up is on the key word Kāla meaning time, which can translate to death. That’s why Saturn (Shani) represents both - time, decay and death are inherently interlinked. When Saturn and Uranus conjoined and the bomb was dropped, we found ourselves capable of death on a mass scale we had never experienced in human history.

While the Bretton Woods Conference officially took place in 1944, the planning and the economic urgency for it were forged during the 1942 conjunction. Global leaders realized that to prevent a repeat of the 1931 collapse, they needed a permanent, global structure that capitalized on the war in Europe and America’s relative strength.

This impulse eventually birthed the IMF and the World Bank -the global operating system for fiat money that still dictates our lives today.

Technologically, the Uranian influence was equally potent. We transitioned from chemical to atomic energy. The colossus computer was being built in the UK to crack the German Enigma codes. This was the birth of modern cryptography, something we take for granted in our modern cryptocurrency world.

THE WAXING SQUARE | 1951–1954: THE AGE OF ANXIETY

The 1950s waxing square brought the fresh nuclear innovations of the 1942 Conjunction into a period defined the early Cold War.

In 1952, the United States detonated the first Hydrogen Bomb. This was Uranus in its most extreme form - a radical, terrifying release of energy that fundamentally threatened the existence of the planet. The reaction from the establishment was immediate and heavy-handed. This waxing square birthed the Red Scare and McCarthyism - a period of extreme social conformity and political regulation designed to manage the existential dread of the nuclear age.

On the economic front, the first modern credit card emerged in the early 1950s. It laid the foundational tracks for the consumer debt-driven economy that would explode in the following decades

With Uranus transiting Gemini, the sign associated with local travel and communication, we saw the birth of the commercial Jet. Innovation (Uranus) had permanently disrupted travel (Gemini).

Note the historical rhyme here. As we approach the re-entry of Uranus into Gemini in 2026, we are poised for a similar disruption in the automotive and transport sectors. Just as the jet engine replaced the propeller, the self-driving, AI-integrated vehicle is set to dismantle our current understanding of transit and urban planning over the next seven years.

THE OPPOSITION | 1965 - 1967 | THE CULTURAL REVOLUTION

The opposition of the mid 60’s showed that the rigid, conservative structures of the 1950s (Saturn) were directly challenged by an explosive, radical urge for liberation and future-forward thinking by the new-age hippies (Uranus). The counter-culture itself was a Uranian rebellion against traditional social values, corporate conformity, and the military-industrial complex.

Economically, the 1965–1967 opposition marked the beginning of the end for the post-war golden age. President Lyndon B. Johnson’s “Great Society” programs attempted to provide massive social welfare while simultaneously funding the escalating Vietnam War.

This was the beginning of the inflationary pressure that would eventually lead to the collapse of the Gold Standard in the 1970s. The opposition forced a choice: do we maintain the old stability, or do we fund the radical, expensive new world? The attempt to do both signalled the start of a structural decline in the dollar’s purchasing power - a theme we see echoing in our current 2026 climate.

THE WANING SQUARE | 1975 - 1977 | THE PERSONAL COMPUTER & THE NEUTRINO

Following the end of the Vietnam War in 1975, the global economy faced a massive hangover. The old Saturnian industrial sectors like steel, manufacturing, and traditional labor were in a state of decay. But within this period of decay, the seeds of life as we now know it were planted. In 1977, Apple was incorporated, and the Apple II was released. This was the quintessential Saturn-Uranus synthesis - taking the massive, institutional computing power of the military and big business (Saturn) and placing it into the hands of the individual (Uranus).

While the general economy was choking on stagflation, a group of innovative, technologically charged rebels in Silicon Valley were building the digital rails that would eventually rescue, and then dominate, the global financial system.

49 years later, Apple is now the 2nd largest company in the world, with a market capitalization of around $4 trillion, larger than the GDP of nations like New Zealand, Finland and Portugal.

THE CONJUNCTION | 1988: THE GLOBALIST BIG BANG

The 1988 Conjunction in late Sagittarius signalled the most significant geopolitical and financial reset since the 1940s. In the sign of Sagittarius, the archetype of long-distance travel, foreign nations, and global expansion, this alignment birthed the era of Hyper-Globalization and the Neoliberal, free-market oriented world order.

This window marked the absolute flourishing of Neoliberalism and global market capitalism. This era saw the rise of the mega-corporation - entities that possessed more capital and power than many sovereign nations. The barriers to trade were being dismantled in favour of a borderless flow of capital.

While the political world was being reshaped, a technological seed was planted that would eventually become the “central nervous system” of the global economy. In 1989, Tim Berners-Lee proposed the World Wide Web.

This was the ultimate Uranian breakthrough. It provided the connectivity and lightning-fast communication rails required for markets to become truly global. Without the Web, the massive expansion of the financial grid and the high-frequency trading world we live in today would have been impossible. The 1988 conjunction linked the human collective mind into a single, synchronized economic machine and created the internet as we know it, which ain’t a small matter.

THE WAXING SQUARE | 1999-2000 | THE DOT-COM BUBBLE BURST

The waxing square is the first major reality check of the cycle. By the year 2000, the excitement of the 1988 Internet seed had grown into a speculative frenzy. This was the point where the digital dream hit the hard ceiling of profitability and sustainable business models. Companies with zero earnings were valued at billions simply because they had a “.com” suffix.

The 1999–2000 square forced a violent crash back to reality. Notice that Uranus was in Aquarius, the planet of innovation and technology in the sign associated with collective systems and the internet. Saturn was in Taurus, the planet of restriction and negativity in the sign of material reality, money and finances.

The Nasdaq lost nearly 78% of its value, serving as a brutal reminder that while innovation drives the future, it must be built on a solid foundation.

The transition into this square was also defined by the retrospectively hilarious “Y2K” panic. The fear that a tiny flaw in the digital code would cause the entire global infrastructure to collapse at the stroke of midnight. While the crash didn’t happen in the computers, it manifested in the markets just months later.

The survivors, companies like Amazon and Google, were the ones that successfully integrated Uranian innovation into a profitable, Saturnian corporate hierarchy.

THE OPPOSITION | 2008-2009 | GLOBAL FINANCIAL CRISIS

In financial astrology, an opposition represents a point of maximum tension where a system’s internal contradictions are laid bare. This was the moment the Globalist Big Bang of 1988 reached its limit and the financial system faced an existential heart attack.

The crisis was a perfect manifestation of the Saturn-Uranus archetypes. The financial sector had engaged in extreme innovation (Uranus) by turning simple home loans into hyper-complex, synthetic products like mortgage-backed securities and collateralized debt obligations (CDOs). Wall Street assumed these digital abstractions were safe. However, they eventually collided with the inability of real people to pay back real debt. The result was the credit crunch.

It is no coincidence that in the very depths of this systemic collapse, a solution was born. On January 3, 2009, with the Saturn-Uranus opposition still tight, Satoshi Nakamoto mined the Genesis Block of Bitcoin.

Encoded within that block was the famous Times headline: “Chancellor on the Brink of Second Bailout for Banks.” This was a literal manifesto of Uranus (cryptographic rebellion and decentralization) against the failing Saturnian establishment (central banks and state bailouts).

The Bitcoin natal chart actually has this Saturn-Uranus opposition baked in. It represents the birth of a new form of digital “hard” asset - a Uranian technology designed to perform the Saturnian function of a store of value. It was the first shot fired in the war for monetary sovereignty, a theme that is reaching its fever pitch as we approach 2027.

THE WANING SQUARE | 2021 | THE GREAT RESET & DIGITAL ACCELERATION

The final hard aspect before our current 2026 window was the waning square of 2021.

Saturn in Aquarius (government mandates, social distance, and centralized digital control) squared Uranus in Taurus (radical disruption of the food supply, supply chains, and the very nature of money/work).

This transit perfectly mirrored the global lockdown era and the subsequent Great Reset. We saw a massive Saturnian expansion of state power and surveillance, while simultaneously experiencing a Uranian explosion in technologies. This was the year of the forced remote work revolution, the supply chain breakdown and the NFT and meme stock speculative frenzy, fueled by the largest saturnian money-printing event in human history.

This 2021 square was the stress test for the systems we are relying on today. It exposed the rot in the traditional banking system and accelerated the move toward a fully tokenized, technology driven future. The inflation we are battling after those years is the direct “hangover” from this square. It’s the bill finally coming due for the distortions created during the pandemic.

Understanding this, we can see that the supportive sextile we’ve enjoyed throughout 2025 was merely a temporary reprieve. As we move toward the March 1st, 2026 expiration of that support, the lessons of the previous cycles will return to the forefront of the global economy.

In Part Two of this report, we will look at how the expiration of the current Saturn-Uranus sextile in March 2026 will shift the markets, and use this cycle to predict the exact nature of the Sentient Economy arriving at the 2031 Conjunction. Make sure you are subscribed so you don't miss it.

A meaningful percentage of my forecasts do not fully play out.

That’s not always comfortable to acknowledge. But it’s the truth.

This post is a transparent review of the calls that didn’t land, and what they taught me about refining my forecasting process. Very few forecasters publicly review their incorrect calls. I believe accountability is essential if this work is going to mature over time.

Q4 2025 Alt Season & Bitcoin All-Time High

I got this wrong. Like many others, I expected a strong Q4 alt season and a Bitcoin all-time high before the end of 2025. It didn’t materialize. Instead, we saw a broad market wipeout in October and November.

In hindsight, this was a classic lesson in mass market psychology, one I didn’t weigh heavily enough in my analysis. The consensus was overwhelming. Across crypto Twitter, YouTube, research threads, and trading groups, the expectation of a year-end rally was nearly universal. That should have raised a flag.

When consensus becomes deafening, it stops being confirmation and starts becoming risk. Mass investor psychology can generate momentum, and sometimes that momentum is tradable. But it also creates fragility. When positioning becomes crowded, even small shifts in liquidity can unwind it violently.

The key lesson for me:

Strong consensus is not validation, it is a variable.

Going forward, I need to treat extreme agreement itself as a signal. Not to reflexively oppose it, but to examine it with more scrutiny than usual.

In an era of algorithm-driven sentiment and social media-based trading, independent thinking is harder than ever. The noise is constant. The feedback loops are immediate.

That makes disciplined detachment even more important!

HBAR — Q4 2025 & Q1 2026 Surge

I projected a price surge for HBAR across Q4 2025 and into Q1 2026.

Instead, it was pulled down alongside the broader crypto collapse.

Fundamentally, I remain bullish on HBAR. In my view, its hashgraph consensus mechanism is technologically superior to the majority of projects in the space, and I continue to see long-term potential there.

But markets do not reward fundamentals in isolation. They reward liquidity.

And during liquidity contractions, even strong projects decline.

The lesson here is straightforward:

Macro conditions matter more than individual project strength.

Going forward, my crypto forecasts need to incorporate two additional layers:

1. Technical structure of the broader macro environment, what are the Nasdaq and S&P 500 actually signaling?

2. The mundane (macro) astrology of the month in question - because even strong individual transits can struggle during heavily bearish collective astrological periods, like February 2026.

An individual chart may show potential. But if the tide is going out, even the strongest boats drift lower.

Dogecoin | A Clear Miss

Dogecoin was a consistent call for me through Q4 2025 and January 2026. I expected a surge in line with Bitcoin, citing the Jupiter return effect on the astrology chart, which has historically shown strong correlation with price spikes in other assets, as I explain in this article.

It didn’t happen. At least, not yet.

The astrology was compelling, the chart correlations looked strong, but the price simply didn’t respond. Dogecoin followed Bitcoin implicitly, yet it seems to have solid support at $0.10.

This sparked an important question: do smaller-cap assets respond less to astrological timing?

XRP (market cap $88B) has shown strong correlation with its chart in past calls. Dogecoin ($16B at the time) did not.

This miss led to a vital hypothesis: the 'Mass Consciousness Threshold.' I am now investigating whether an asset requires a specific market cap (likely $50B+) to aggregate enough collective 'Karma' or life force to respond to planetary transits.

The broader lesson: 90% of altcoins are reflexive extensions of Bitcoin, which, along with Ethereum, increasingly mirrors macro liquidity conditions. These conditions can, in turn, correlate strongly with macro-astrology.

Going forward, my crypto analysis needs additional layers:

• Mundane astrology of the month

• Macro liquidity cycles and technical analysis

• Technical structure in the S&P 500 and Nasdaq

• Individual asset charts

This is the evolution of my methodology, building on what I’ve done so far while integrating broader macro and structural factors.

Artificial Superintelligence Alliance Token

After the alliance token tanked, I immediately revisited the chart I had been using.

The separation of the entities within the alliance did not make sense relative to the original chart. So I researched further and identified a more plausible foundational chart.

With that second chart, the separation event aligned far more cleanly.

Yes, hindsight is 20/20. But refining the base data is part of the craft. This is research in motion, not dogma. You can see my justification for the rectified chart in this article.

Other Projects: Propy, The Graph, Cronos

Projects I’ve been tracking, Propy, The Graph, Cronos, also struggled in Q4 2025. I made unique, time-specific predictions of positive news, and for Propy, those predictions actually materialized. Yet the price action barely reflected it.

I still find their technology and use cases compelling, but crypto market volatility has drained liquidity. That could be bad news, or an excellent buying opportunity, depending on your perspective.

The broader lesson: strong fundamentals don’t protect an asset from macro liquidity contractions. Again, this ties into taking the macro-astrology much more seriously. I flagged February 2026 as early as November 2025 because I saw it was a gnarly month astrologically, which led to tech stocks selling off, crypto furthering its destruction and the rise of Gold and Silver. As the saying goes, the market can remain irrational longer than you can remain solvent.

Silver — The 31st January Crash

I remain bullish on silver for 2026 for a large number of reasons outlined in my article.

However, I did not anticipate the sharp January 31st correction. It was a move that defied conventional technical and sentiment analysis, which is why I am deep-diving into the specific Aquarius 'Air-Sign' clusters that preceded it.

Since then, I’ve been studying the chart of that day and its relationship to the silver chart I use. I’m not willing to dismiss it as a random event. A move of that magnitude must have an astrological correlation. Right now, I’m investigating patterns that combine technical exhaustion with heavy air-sign activity, particularly Aquarius, which may correspond to corrective phases. Once I’m more confident, I’ll put a prediction into practice and publish the findings.

It’s one thing to make firm predictions and get them right, but markets evolve, and so must we. That’s the catch-22 of being in the predictions and market space. The research never ends.

The Bigger Picture

Beyond the specific calls, I’m broadly satisfied with the correlations and research directions of my predictions so far. I’ve done well on Gold, the Euro, Hyperliquid, Telcoin, Bitcoin, META, and many others.

This is an independent research operation. While I don’t have a Wall Street floor behind me, I have the agility to pivot and the transparency to show my work in real-time. My methodology is a living system - it compounds in accuracy as the data set grows.

That’s not an excuse, it’s context. The goal isn’t perfection. The goal is improvement.

I see this publication as an evolving research journal. Accuracy should rise over time, not because I pretend to be infallible, but because I refine my methods.

The value of a single well-timed entry, like the META or Gold calls, far outweighs the cost of membership.

Markets are probabilistic, not deterministic. Anyone claiming 80% is selling a miracle. I’m selling a process.

Youth & Time Horizon

Many financial astrologers didn’t start this young.

Early adoption of this craft allows for an unbiased perspective, free from the rigid dogmas of the past. It also brings something far more valuable: time. Time to iterate. Time to improve. Time to compound skill.

Financial astrology is absolutely audacious, controversial and mis-understood.

But if there’s truth to it, it could be the most profitable skill you could ever learn. And I want you to learn it alongside me.

Why I’m Writing This

We’re entering a new era.

Anonymous finance accounts — no face, no accountability, no audit trail — dominate crypto and social media. Retail participation is higher than ever. Confidence is cheap. I want to be accountable. That means logging calls. Reviewing misses. Refining publicly. This is not about ego.

It’s about building a long-term, durable skill. I explain this on my prediction zone page.

I’m logging as many calls as I can on my Prediction Zone website, which members have access to. I will update and upgrade the site over time, and it remains unique in the astrology/predictions/finance space: a place to track all calls in one place. Most forecasters don’t do this, because truth is hard on the ego.

I also consider my market forecasting work a natural extension of my personal financial astrology services. I’ve received very positive reviews for those sessions, and the guidance and insights from them often prove invaluable. Analytical Vedic astrology is a passion and a lifelong study. You can see the various shining testimonials on my store.

The U.S. dollar is facing inflation, debt, and political instability. This is coinciding with a Saturn Return at the same time Uranus moves into Gemini and Neptune enters Aries.- rare alignments that historically coincide with war, monetary reinvention, and structural resets. In this video, I break down why 2026–2030 could mark the end of the fiat paper era and the beginning of a two-tier digital dollar system. We’ll examine the key dates, the war-funding pressure, the Federal Reserve stress points, and what this means for gold, silver, Bitcoin, and long-term investors positioning ahead of a multi-polar monetary order. If you want to understand where the system is going, not where it’s been, this is your astrological roadmap.
