Prediction: A Major U.S. Cyber Attack Likely by July 24?
What ancient cycles reveal about modern threats.
New York. September 11, 2001. If you don’t know what you’re looking at above, it’s a chart for the exact moment of the 9/11 attacks. Astrology decodes time — a language that speaks of past events, present patterns, and future possibilities.
After the US’s bombing of key nuclear sites in Iran this week, many have speculated about the extent of a counter-attack or danger to the US. What if Astrology could give us a heads up?
Let’s take a look at the language that is being spoken by the position of the celestial bodies at the exact moment of the 9/11 attacks.
The most obviously destructive indication in the chart is the Saturn - Pluto opposition. Saturn sits at 14 Gemini in the 9th house, opposing Pluto at 12 degrees of Sagittarius, the 3rd house.
What does that actually mean?
Saturn = Restriction, Death, Negativity, Decrease
Pluto = Death & Rebirth, Intensity, Transformation, Deep Psychology, Overwhelm, the Underworld.
Opposition = A clash of tension, the most challenging aspect between planets.
The 9th house = Worldview, Philosophy, Religion, Spirituality
The 3rd house = Local Areas, Neighbourhoods, Media, Trade.
Gemini = Communication, Messaging, Media, Speech, Thought
Sagittarius = Philosophy, Religion, Pioneering
We can obviously in retrospect piece together the indication of the negative restrictive theme of Saturn in the house of philosophy and religion in a sign of communication opposing the planet of death and rebirth in the house of the local area in the sign of philosophy and worldview for the New York chart.
We have a Libra ascendant. An Air sign which sets the context for the rest of the chart of this aerial attack. This is a sign of justice, a moment of balance, laws and markets. The peacekeeper. The mediator. It is ruled by Venus in the 11th house in Leo. It immediately speaks to the role of the US as the world’s peacekeeper or policeman.
Mercury is exactly conjunct the ascendant at 14 Libra. Mercury is the messenger and it makes sense that this is the moment where “the news broke.” Mercury on the ascendant in the sign of the marketplace indicates huge news being broken with clear impact on the markets. A crystal clear message has been received.
The Sun (life force) is placed in the 12th house of loss, death, dispersion, and bad spirit and is in a tense square aspect to Pluto, the planet of death and rebirth. This obviously indicates deaths are involved.
A key aspect is the Mars Ketu conjunction in the 4th house in Capricorn. The 4th house indicates home, family, upbringing, ancestry, blood roots, foundations, homes, private safe places, ones sense of safety and belonging.
Mars = War, Warrior, Inflammation, Irritation, Aggression
Ketu = Loss, release, letting go, dispersion, detachment, “headlessness'“
Capricorn = The Corporate/Government World. The strong and steady power structures which govern and stabilize society and brings it resources.
Mars-Ketu conjunctions bring senseless violence and loss or unusually aggresive acts, qualities or events. I have seen a few compelling cases of this conjunction being linked to accidents involving travel and transport via air, land and sea. Sudden fiery events that lead to loss. Occuring in the sign of the Government / Corporate sector we see the alignment to the fall of the twin towers, the world trade center. Libra, the ascendant sign, rules markets, with mercury being the planet of news, information and trade. Saturn, a planet associated with Death, sits in the sign of the twins, alongside the moon, indicating the people’s thoughts and emotions are involved.
Jupiter is in Cancer in the 10th house of reputation. Jupiter is exalted in this sign. Why? The planet of expansion and increase in a sign of care for ones home, tribe, security and nation. It’s positive, but can lead both to heightened ethnocentrism and obsessions with national security and nationalism. It really is a battle of one worldview over the other.
The Mars Ketu conjunction in this chart is conjunct fixed star Spiculum. Ptolemy suggested this star is associated with depression or a gloomy religious outlook on life, a negative fear of god, even religious fanaticism. It is also in the ancient Indian Mula Nakshatra - the uprooter of truths - a destabilizing, uncomfortable uprooting effect. Mars opposes the Moon, indicating destructive aggression clashing with the people, with nourishment, with caring values, with the wellbeing of the population.
These are just some of the astrological patterns we see in the chart for the 9/11 attacks.
Similar Patterns on the Horizon? My Prediction
I’ll now cast a chart for 24th July 2025, at 13:01 in New York.
To prevent you being overloaded with AstroJargon, I will make my claim right now:
I am predicting one of the following 3 events will take place in New York on July 24th:
Cyber Attack on critical infrastructure such as Water, Electricity and Power Grids (Roughly 30% chance)
Cyber Attack on New York based Financial or Crypto Exchanges (Roughly 55% chance)
Cyber Attack on Hospital and Health based services (Roughly 15% chance)
I’ll now run you through the characteristics of the chart to analyze why I personally think a financial or crypto based cyber attack by Iran or Iranian backed groups might be indicated.
First off, visually you’ll notice some key similarities to the 9/11 chart. We have a Libra ascendant with Jupiter in Cancer in the 10th house. In the 9/11 chart Jupiter is at 11 Degrees Cancer, in our July 24th Chart it is at 10 degrees. In the 9/11 chart, there’s a Mars Ketu conjunction occurring within an earth sign - Capricorn in the 4th house.
In our July 24 chart, there’s a Mars Ketu conjunction occurring within an earth sign - Virgo in the 12th house. Virgo is all about analytics, detail, thinking, technology, administrative processes, ruled by the informational planet Mercury. Think software, coding, data, technical diagnostics, health systems. The 12th house represents hidden behind the scenes places that are far from the public eye - think server rooms, IT backend, server systems, behind the scenes technology and hospitals. Seeing a Mars Ketu conjunction in the 12th house in Virgo strongly indicates an attack on IT, administrative, technological systems or health systems which are behind the scenes but fundamental to a lot of today’s services.
The ascendant of the chart has some tough aspects - is is square to the sun and moon and square to Pluto in Aquarius. The Mars Ketu conjunction also makes a tough square aspect to the ruler of the ascendant, Venus in Gemini. Venus rules wealth and Gemini rules trade, stocks and shares. Venus also rules the 8th house of deep investment money, while the 9th house can indicate foreign lands.
The same Pluto which squares the ascendant and opposes the Sun and Moon is exactly conjunct the IC. This is potent. The IC is the roots, the home, the core, the safe place. The ‘family’ identity of being a citizen of the city. We saw in the 9/11 chart the Mars Ketu conjunction hitting a similar point, but this time it’s deeply transformative Pluto which signifies a sort of slow burn transformational process. It signifies subterranean transformation at the roots and collective psyche of New York City.
The Sun and Moon opposed by Pluto are in the 11th house of Networks, Friends, Gains and Collectives. One indication is social media or stock and investment groups. The Sun is in its own sign but heavily opposed by Pluto in Aquarius.
Pluto in Aquarius almost certainly points to powerful AI tools, hacking, technological disruption and this power is opposing the life force and the collective emotions of the people of New York, in the sign of networks, social media, and monetary gains. Pluto sits in the 5th house associated with speculative gains, gambling, and the aquarian decentralized archetype hints at this being crypto related. This is backed up with a powerful and rare trine to Uranus, the planet of technology, advancement, progress, rebellion, electricity, shock, surprise, all things lightning fast and unexpected. Pluto in Aquarius in a supportive trine to Uranus in Gemini signals revolutionary technology. The link between the two is deepened as Uranus owns the sign that Pluto is sitting in, Aquarius, indicating a powerful constructive link between the two, both indicating powerful technologies but also innovative disruptive things like Crypto.
Who rules the 9th house of foreign lands and philosophy and the 12th house of loss in this chart? Mercury, the planet of trade. And the classic, undeniable Mercury retrograde effect is in play during late July. We can almost certainly predict a hit to the stock market or possibly crypto exchanges. Note the last Mercury retrograde of this year occurring within days of Trump’s Tariffs slamming the value of stocks and crypto down. Well, that signature is back again.
The 2nd house rules speech and money. It’s in the sign of power obsessed scorpio, with it’s ruler, the god of war, in the 12th house of loss, as part of the devastating Mars Ketu tag team. I’d stay away if I was looking to invest money at this time. Notice the ruler of the 2nd house of money squaring the ruler of the ascendant and the ruler of the 8th house of deep investment money as part of a conjunction with Ketu (loss) in the 12th house of loss? I can’t say it looks good for finances.
And what of the descendant (DC) point of the chart? In an individuals chart it represents their relationship with the other. The “You” in “You and Me”. But since this a cities chart, it represents foreign relations with other cities or nations. It’s in Aries, a fiery sign ruled by Mars (which as you know by now, is in a conjunction with Ketu in the 12th house.) But Chiron, the wounded healer, is sitting upon the precise angle of the descendant. What does this mean in layman’s terms? A public wound, or trauma, or hit to the ego, in terms of that cities relationship with other cities or countries. The city feels hurt and vulnerable. ‘Vulnerability’ doesn’t just relate to the human emotional expression, it’s a key metric used in cybersecurity protections. Not to mention the ‘great reset’ Saturn and Neptune conjunction in the 7th house of relationships of New York, which will be going exact in February 2026.
Rahu, a planet of obsession in the 6th house of health and daily toil in a healing associated sign of Pisces indicates watery, hard to identify enemies, obsession with obstacles that occur. But it also indicates health and healing, which is why I left open the option of a hospital based cyberattack.
Less AstroJargon™, More Geopolitics
If Iran wanted to inflict maximum damage without resorting to on the ground terror events, they are clearly going to be using cyberattacks during a working day in peak hours for maximum media coverage and psychological impact. I refer back to my 3 options:
Critical Infrastructure Attacks (high impact, very visible, very inconvenient)
Hospital or Health Infrastructure Attacks (puts lives at risk, generates strong emotional media response)
Finance or Crypto related Attacks (symbolic blow against the US financial system, just like 9/11, and highly lucrative and efficient)
And here’s why I think an attack on a Crypto Exchange is more likely. A pro-Israel hacking group called Predatory Sparrow recently said it drained over $90 million from Iran’s largest crypto exchange, Nobitex, in the latest breach of the country’s financial networks. They also claimed responsibility for an earlier attack on Bank Sepah, an Iranian Bank. This legitimizes crypto-attacks as a genuine modern day geo-political strategy. Earlier this year, we also saw North Korea stealing $1.5 Billion in Ethereum from Crypto Platform Bybit.
So, hypothetically, who would they target? Remember, the 9/11 attacks were intended to strike at the heart of American capitalism and to send a message about perceived U.S. decadence and dominance. I ran the charts of a few prominent New York based Crypto exchanges, and I believe there’s one in particular at risk.
The name of this Crypto exchange?
Gemini.
Uranus in Gemini
Gemini, the prominent cryptocurrency exchange headquartered in New York City, was founded in 2014 by Cameron and Tyler Winklevoss—entrepreneurs known for their early involvement with Facebook and their visionary investments in digital assets and officially launched to the public for trading on October 25th, 2015. Gemini has expanded globally and currently operates in over 60 countries.
So I cast a rough chart for the 1st operational day of the company - October 25th, 2015 at Noon.
We immediately see that the key player of 24th July 2025 - the Mars Ketu conjunction - is occurring on the most prominent section of the Companys chart - the 10th house of reputation, career, visibility and reputation. It’ll be causing havoc to the natal Mars, Jupiter and Venus, all ruling expansion, money and determination.
A double square aspect to the natal sun of the transiting sun and transiting Pluto which are already in opposition to each other indicates a real power struggle, confidence issue or challenge to the reputation of the company - especially the behind the scenes aspect (12th house). Uranus the unexpected, shocking, rebellious and unpredictable planet will be at 0 degrees of Gemini opposing the natal Saturn in the 1st. A destabilizing force from the outside hits their reputation for security and stability.
If that wasn’t enough, a retrograde Mercury in the 9th house in Leo in this crypto exchanges chart indicates revisions, reviewing and re-doing over the publishing, marketing and internal communications of the company. Communication issues, delays, legal issues, revision of strategy, internal philosophical disagreements from arrogant leaders could be indicated.
And of course, rather poetically, a Crypto exchange called Gemini has the sign of Gemini in the house of relationships and one-on-one business dealings being immediately disrupted by the powerful entrance of Uranus opposing the strong, safe and stable identity of the company (Saturn in the 1st). Expect sudden shocks and changes to one on one transactions or branding and public imaging.
The only positive influence I can see here for the company is Jupiter, the ruler of the ascendant, and the positive expansive and beneficial planet transiting the 8th house of deep resources and investments. This doesn’t indicate an end to the company, but perhaps there will be certain promises of insurances and protections for certain assets in the event of a hacking event or cyber attack. Venus, the lesser benefic associated with money and wealth also nicely transits the 7th house of one-on-one dealings with no harsh aspects.
Can the Bitcoin Chart Confirm an Attack?
To confirm any suspicion of a Crypto-based attack, we’d also have to consult the chart for Bitcoin itself on that day to see any swings up or down in price, which can itself indicate dramatic market events related to cryptocurrencies. It looks like this:
What we see here is a mixed bag of largely positive and largely negative indications. Pluto conjuncts the natal Mercury which could indicate either huge empowerment in the trade of bitcoin or a huge hit on it’s price, especially considering the Mercury retrograde in its 1st house and the Mars-Ketu conjunction occurring in its 2nd house of money and resources right over it’s natal Saturn. Either way, it’s a critical pivot in the price of Bitcoin.
Transiting Neptune (Illusion, Delusion, Mystery) is in a hard square aspect to the natal Pluto (power, wealth, money). It can indicate hidden market manipulations or a sudden loss of confidence. Transiting Uranus also squares the natal venus creating price volatility and instability. Chiron, the wounded healer, in a square to optimistic Jupiter also suggests a hit to price confidence. It’s a powerfully mixed combination on this day and Bitcoin might be trading very chaotically, which would line up with the market evaluating the extent of a crypto exchange hack on the asset’s price, in my view.
Let’s also consult the United States own Birth Chart on this day, often called the Sibly Chart.
Instantly, we see the Mars-Ketu Conjunction occur right on top of the United States’ 10th house of reputation, career, status and position. It is 1 degree away from an exact conjunction over the natal Neptune. The Neptune influence indicates covert, deceptive, or behind-the-scenes technical interference, with transiting Mars in a tough square aspect to the US’s natal Mars. This could activate national tensions. Notice how the transiting Saturn-Neptune conjunction opposes the natal midheaven indicating disruption of authority structures or administrative breakdown.
Signals in the Noise
So here’s what I’m doing: I’m marking July 24th on my calendar. We’ll return to this moment and see how it plays out. The astrological echoes between the charts layered with the current geopolitical landscape suggest, in my speculative estimation, a chance of a significant cyber attack. One likely targeting financial infrastructure, possibly crypto exchanges like Gemini.
The Mars-Ketu conjunction, Mercury’s retrograde, and Pluto’s intense opposition to the Sun and Moon form a volatile signature — one that often coincides with events that alter collective structures. Astrology is a symbolic map, not the territory. But time and again, it reveals patterns within patterns that we’d be foolish to discount. Without using any Astrology, I also asked Google Gemini AI in Deep Research mode for a percentage out of 100 that a cyber-attack targeting financial infrastructure would occur before the end of July - it estimates a 65% chance.
