And now for something completely different.

Polymarket currently shows 84% chance that Flavio Bolsonaro will win the Brazilian Presidential Election, with 14% on Luiz Lula da Silva. Flávio Bolsonaro has won the first round of the presidential election, but this is also a second round on the 25th October, since a candidate needs more than 50% of valid votes to win outright in Brazil’s system.

So, the second round will see only Flavio and Luiz’s names on the ballot - whoever wins, becomes the president.

Despite the Polymarket odds being overwhelmingly in favour of Flavio Bolsonaro, can we run some very basic astrology to confirm or deny this?

Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva

Astro-Databank records Birth time at 8:00 AM on October 27, 1945, in Ribeirão, Brazil with an AA rating.

Let’s run some basics.

Since the result is just two days before his birthday, this current year he is in a 9th house profection year, and will be in a 10th house year from October 27th 2026. The 10th house is all about public visibility, career, achievement.

Let’s look at the current solar return for October 26 2025 to October 26th 2026.

Ruler of ascendant is Mars in the 8th in Scorpio, strong, but not necessarily positive for career. Moon is in the 10th house, ruler of the 10th is Saturn in the 12th - again, not a shining example of promotion or visibility. So too the 11th house ruler.

What about his Mahadasha and Antardasha?

I’m keeping this one short. My friend of the House of Wisdom Substack sent me an award winning research article done by Chris Carolan on the lunar calendar patterns underlying autumn panics. I’m really surprised I havn’t come across his work before, and I’ll be diving into his books soon. All credit goes to the original author Chris Carolan, and to Doctor H for forwarding me the article. This article will be free and not paywalled.

By the way, you should all be subscribed to House of Wisdom, Doctor H’s publication, in my view the most underrated astrology substack right now:

House of Wisdom

World Class Research in Medieval Predictive Astrology. Mix of white papers, studies, and blog posts where theory meets practice.

By Doctor H

“Autumn Panics: A Calendar Phenomenon” was written by Christopher Carolan in 1998. It won the Charles H. Dow Award, which is about as establishment as technical analysis gets. And it makes a claim that should not be true, yet appears to be.

You can download the paper and read it for yourself here:

https://spiralcalendar.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/autumn_panics.pdf

Here’s the (very simplified) idea. Carolan borrows an annual lunar calendar from the Babylonians. If there is to be an autumn panic (all other factors considered) then the panic occurs within the same day or two of the lunar calendar. You count the first new moon after the spring equinox as month one, and carry on from there.

Measured this way, the lows of 1929, 1987 and 1997 all land on the 27th and 28th days of the seventh lunar month - what he calls the dark days. Black Tuesday, Black Monday and the Hang Seng's worst session of 1997 occur on the same lunar dates. All three fell within a single day of each other on the calendar year. The panic low occurs very close to the eighth new moon after the spring equinox Then he goes back further - 1907, 1873, 1857 - and it holds, give or take a month in the years the lunar calendar ran short.

I’ve been vocal on October for a little while, it’s certainly one of the most challenging months of the year. All other astrology considered, when running the theory for this year, Carolan's model flags two specific windows - around 7-8 October, and, as the stronger base case, around 5-6 November. Strikingly, these are both within the Mercury and Venus retrogrades.

As always, time will tell.

COGNEX | ()

FUNDAMENTALS

Cognex makes machine-vision systems. Cameras, sensors and software that allow factories and warehouses to “see” and inspect, identify, measure and guide objects. It’s a key play in the increasingly automated industrial workplace, providing “eyes” for AI systems and robots to improve factory efficiency. The company has 30,000 customers across 30 countries. It’s not just an industrial company, but an AI, semiconductor manufacturing and warehouse automation player.

Revenue is accelerating, and profitability is expanding dramatically. Q2 2026 revenue reached a record $291 million, up 17% year over year.

From the bearish standpoint, at roughly $63 a share, CGNX has a market cap of 10 billion and a trailing Price-to-Earnings ratio of around 60x. The market is already paying a substantial premium for expected future success.

TECHNICALS

The primary trend is bullish, remaining close to its 52-week high, and is trading above it’s 200 day moving average. RSI is at 51, so momentum is fairly equal right now, indicating it’s neither overbought nor oversold.

ASTROLOGICAL

First Trade Time: July 20th, 1989, 09:30 AM, New York | Birth Time Source

The February pump seems best indicated by the Solar Eclipse at 28 Aquarius in February 2026, giving a positive window the month before and after, with that eclipse in trine to the natal Jupiter in the 10th house within 1 degree.

The most important aspect of September’s Astrology is Uranus Retrograde. Uranus Retrogrades archetypally promise changes of pace, disruptions and disturbances to technology and crypto. Here’s how the most important aspect of September has played out in the markets historically.

⏱ Estimated Read Time: 10 Minutes

URANUS RETROGRADES IN HISTORY

Uranus stations retrograde on September 10th, 2026. Uranus turning retrograde represents all sorts of changes of pace, disruptions and unexpected out of the blue moments - especially related to technology and cryptocurrency - the sectors that represent disruption themselves. For the charts below, I’m using a 1 month period from the retrograde.

September 1st 2024

During this retrograde, tech and Ai stocks were vulnerable immediately around the station retrograde. Nvidia subsequently plunged -11%, the nasdaq fell sharply and Bitcoin was also weak.

Hermes International | ($RMS)

Technicals

Down 24% year to date and 23% over the last year, Hermes is a family owned saddlery shop founded in 1837, still controlled by the founder’s descendants, now worth over $230 billion with the highest profit margins in luxury.

Using StockAnalysis.com as a quick back of the napkin proxy for investor sentiment, out of 22 Analysts Polled, the average 1-year stock price forecast is €1,870, a very strong 21% above current prices.

With downside risk appearing limited as the stock hovers around a 12 month low, most analysts seem bullish.

Fundamentals

The central question from a fundamental standpoint is whether its exceptional profitability and brand security continue to justify it’s valuation. Bags and Saddlery are Hermes economic engine - this division generated 7 Billion Euros in 2025 - about 44% of the group revenue.

The ultimate strength is the pricing power and profitability. The ultimate weakness is slowing growth against a likely demanding valuation. However, much of that may already be priced in with the 12 month stock performance.

Astrological

Jupiter in Leo is one reason of many why I’m bullish on luxury goods. Apart from the obvious “regal” association, there’s also the Pluto-in-Aquarius “French Revolution Wealth Gap” effect, in which the rich and wealthy continue to compound their wealth, and their consumption is usually through extremely exclusive luxury goods.

First Trade IPO: June 3rd 1993, 10:00 AM, Paris | Birth Time Source

The August 12th solar Eclipse conjoined the natal Mars and Chiron directly, giving a bit of a negative window opening up. I’ve seen an erry rule of thumb play out with eclipses - the impacts can be seen before the event itself occurs. It’s common practice to give a wider window of influence for eclipses - 1 month before and after, 3 months before and after, even 1 year before and after - and in financial astrology, there is a case to be made for the same. This Eclipse occurring negatively in August 12th, even observing price from July 12th to the current day, it’s down 6%.

Jupiter conjoins the natal Mars, the degree of the Solar Eclipse on September 26th, which looks bullish - Jupiter/Mars contact indicates aggression and striving for growth.

Around October 26th could be challenging, with transiting Jupiter in a square to the natal Pluto, which looks a bit bearish. This is concerning since this is also a bearish period in the markets in the macro astrology sense too - I’m bearish on Equities generally in October, which could present a buying opportunity.

If there is a bearish October, the period after October 29th could be quite bullish, with transiting Uranus in a trine to the natal Jupiter at this point - a classic positive indicator. Again, it’s pointing to a post-October recovery or bullish sentiment returning in the wider market.

It’s also strongly punctuated by the fact that transiting Pluto will be in a trine to natal Jupiter around January 14th. So this November into January window looks pretty strong.

This post is a predictions ledger for calls made in the August article.

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.

All the quotes in this article are pulled from my article here:

How did the predictions perform in August?

“I believe oil is setting up for a further price increase this month.”

• Hit. Between August 1st and August 22, a barrel of Brent crude rose about 11% to $92 per barrel, before ending the month lower at 87.96, ending the month up about 5%.

“A surprise attack could come within August on Iran. I believe this is fairly likely.”

• Partial. Whilst not a boots on the ground situation, the US treasury launched “Operation Economic Outcast” described as an “Economic D-Day” against Iran. Scott Bessent was the public face of the rollout. Its purpose is to intensify sanctions and isolate Iran by cutting off economic lifelines.

“Kings, Leaders and Royal Figures are in Danger with the Total Solar Eclipse in Leo.”

Hit. This month saw the death of King Harald V of Norway. As Leo is the sign of celebrity, we also saw notable celebrity deaths including Dolly Parton and Tim Curry.

THE PREMISE

Zodiacal Releasing is a Hellenistic technique that was revived and popularised in modern astrology in the 1990’s. Similarly to Jyotish’s Mahadashas, it divides up the life into a sequence of periods and sub-periods, with some additional significators of significant time periods such as the loosing of the bond, peak periods and culmination periods.

In this test, I will take the IPO chart for the first trade of Nvidia stock (January 22nd, 1999, 09:30 AM, New York) and analyse its ZR (Zodiacal Releasing) periods against its historical price action. Can we find consistently bullish periods, bearish periods, or other valuable patterns?

In this technique, we can release from the lot of spirit, or the lot of fortune. I will be releasing from the lot of fortune. Can it reveal anything about Nvidia?

THE METHOD

As you can see in this natal chart of Nvidia, the lot of fortune is at 22 Taurus, and the lot of spirit is at 19 degrees Capricorn. There are many softwares which can calculate zodiacal releasing periods. I am using Astrogold for Mac.

For the sake of ease, I will be testing Level 1, Level 2 and Level 3 ZR periods. I won’t include Level 4 ZR periods as they are only a few days apart and add a lot of noise to the data.

DATA INTEGRITY

Now we need daily price data for NVIDIA stock from its IPO on January 22nd 1999. One way of reliably doing this is using Google Sheets’ Google Finance Tool.

Try it yourself - open a new Google Sheet and paste this into cell A1:

=GOOGLEFINANCE("NASDAQ:NVDA","all",DATE(1999,1,22),TODAY(),"DAILY")

It should return every trading day with date, open, close, high, low and volume. Hopefully you have something like this:

Nvidia has split its stock six times, so old share prices must be adjusted to match today’s share count. The data appears to have been adjusted correctly.

The main problem is that Nvidia’s early share prices were extremely low and recorded only to the nearest cent. Before 2016, tiny short-term price moves can be distorted or erased by rounding. That makes short Zodiacal Releasing periods unreliable for the early data.

So the analysis only uses short periods starting from 2016 onward, when the price data is precise enough. It is better to use fewer reliable examples than many inaccurate ones.

Also, Nvidia has grown very quickly over its whole history - about 36.6% per year. That means simply asking “did the stock go up?” is not useful, because it usually did. The important question is whether Nvidia performed better or worse than its normal long-term growth trend during particular Zodiacal Releasing periods.

Now we just need to choose a data processor of your choice to crunch the numbers. (I’ll be using Kimi K3 from Moonshot.)

27 years of data are covered, so we’re taking quite a lot into context.

KEY FINDINGS

Before we see the results, we need to understand de-trending.

The secular drift of Nvidia stock is about 36.6% per year. We want to find periods that report excess return - or the annualised period minus the stock’s own secular drift. Prices will also be adjusted for stock splits

There are 20 Level 2 Periods Analysed. The 5 most bullish Level 2 periods as a whole are as follows:

The 5 most bearish Level 2 periods as a whole are as follows:

For the much shorter Level 3 Periods, the top 5 most bullish periods were:

1. Capricorn 2023-05-11 (67d, +57.4%)

2. Capricorn 2025-04-05 (67d, +52.6%)

3. Capricorn 2016-09-19 (67d, +49.7%)

4. Gemini 2017-05-07 (50d, +48.1%)

5. Leo 2023-12-24 (48d, +47.7%).

Three of the top five most bullish periods are Capricorn periods.

The top 5 most bearish level 3 periods were:

1. Capricorn 2018-11-03 (35d, −31.3%)

2. Cancer 2025-02-14 (50d, −30.3%)

3. Leo 2021-12-12 (47d −27.4%)

4. Scorpio 2022-04-08 (38d,−26.8%)

5. Sagittarius 2018-10-04 (30d, −25.1%)

CANCER PERIODS

Both Cancer Level 2 periods were difficult. The 2001 to 2003 window drew down 90.0% peak to trough and finished down 33.3%. The 2008 to 2010 window drew down 57.1% and finished down 7.4%. They are the only two Level 2 periods in the sample with a negative return. Of course, this also perfectly aligns with the dot-com bubble burst and the 2008 crash. Any stock’s chart could look bearish in those windows.

And at Level 3, where there are nineteen Cancer periods rather than two, the effect disappears - Cancer ranks fifth of twelve signs, with a median +3.7% and 58% of periods positive. Post 2016 it’s +6.5% and 67% positive.

ANGULARITY FROM FORTUNE

The four signs angular to Fortune - Taurus, Leo, Scorpio, Aquarius - returned a median +8.8%, against +4.5% cadent and +1.6% succedent, across the 92 precision-clean Level 3 periods since 2016.

SATURN PERIODS

In the clean post 2016 data, Saturn-ruled periods return a median +23.6% with a 77% win rate, the strongest of any ruler. Three of the five most bullish level 3 windows are Capricorn. The level 2 period closing this week is Capricorn, at +130%.

THE LOOSING OF THE BOND

The Level 2 loosing of the bond on April 10th 2024, was followed by a bullish AI expansion that topped on January 6th, 2025, exactly 8.9 months later. Nvidia then fell 36.9% into its April 2025 low.

This rhymes with what I found whilst experimenting with a chart I use for the Dow Jones chart - where all four Loosing of the Bond transitions (1936, 1956, 1980 and 1999) preceded a major cyclical top within two to ten months, but I don’t think there’s enough data to form any conclusions yet.

USING THE RELEASING PERIODS

On August 28th, 2026, Nvidia’s Level 1 Period changes from Gemini to Cancer.

Level 1 and Level 2 Cancer period runs from August 28th, 2026 to September 16th, 2028. Remember - in our testing, Cancer periods were the most bearish.

Notice the Loosing of the bond period on February 6th 2028. This is the same type of marker that preceded the January 2025 top by nine months, and that preceded four consecutive Dow Jones cyclical tops in my experimental research.

So, we could anticipate that the deepest drawdown of the Cancer period should begin within 60 days of the February 6th 2028 loosening of the bond - this could align with the Saturn Return in the Nvidia IPO chart, which occurs March 26th 2028. There is a tension here, with a Saturn return classically indicating contraction and restructuring - yet on this chart Saturn's zodiacal releasing periods have been the most bullish of any ruler, and both Level 3 periods running from February to June 2028 are Saturn ruled, so I'm watching to see which reading wins.

To conclude, I find zodiacal releasing to be a valuable technique to analyse a stock’s timing, although in future I’d like to test it on an asset which doesn’t have an insanely bullish annual drift. Things aren’t quite as clear but as I hoped when testing this technique. I will in future analyse Zodiacal Releasing with something more volatile such as Bitcoin.

This concludes this report on the Zodiacal Releasing of Nvidia. 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.

We’ve by now all heard of the 18.6 year cycle of the North Node and how it can correlate with market crashes and real estate collapses. In Jyotish, we further sub divide each sign into 27 subdivisions known as Nakshatras.

Rahu, the North Node, entered Dhanishta Nakshatra on August 2nd 2026 and will leave in April 2027.

In the framework I use - tropical whole sign houses with sidereal nakshatras - Rahu is currently at 29 tropical Aquarius and therefore within Dhanishtha, which spans around 17 degrees tropical Aquarius to 0 degrees tropical Pisces.

Dhanishtha translates roughly as “wealth” or “the desirable object”, from the Sanskrit “Dhan” meaning wealth, as in Dhan or Dhana Yogas - combinations for wealth in an individual natal chart.

Several transits of Rahu, or the North Node, through Dhanishtha coincide with periods of financial stress and economic transition, as we are in right now.

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, synthesizing it with one of Wall Street’s biggest cycles.

⏱ Estimated Read Time: 15 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 kinds.

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.
