Executive Summary:

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.

The Trump Tweet Rally of march 23rd

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.

April 2026 | Chiron, Sun, Moon, Saturn, Mars, Neptune, Mercury in Aries

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.

April 2011 | Moon, Mercury, Jupiter, Sun, Mars, Uranus in Aries

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.

Astrological Transit Chart for Iran | April 2026

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.
