The US stock market has lost $1 trillion in just four days as a sell-off of tech companies deepened amid fears that an AI-powered stock market rally could be about to collapse. The drop-off has been fuelled by concerns that AI companies are overvalued, with some claiming they have little to show for the billions of pounds of investment that have been ploughed into companies such as OpenAI.
Stock Market prediction is an even less exact ‘science’ than electoral forecasting though some rules do hold good. One is that Jupiter Neptune is a harbinger of bubble-bursting as was the case for the 2000 DotCom bust when there was an exact square. One occurred earlier this year and the next hard aspect is due mid 2028. But on its own it happens relatively frequently so more must be involved.
Looking across various stock indexes and AI/tech companies involved, 2028 does flag up as a period of major disruption with a fair amount of upheaval between now and then. By 2028 there is not only Jupiter opposition Neptune but also Saturn in Taurus square Pluto which might hint at a major war somewhere on the globe which could affect trade and economics. In 2028 tr Pluto will also oppose the US ‘leadership’ Leo North Node which is a sensitive point. Tr Neptune opposed it at 9/11 – I am not suggesting anything similar merely that it will affect the USA’s status through 2027/28.
The Nasdaq 8 February 1971 9am New York, has tr Uranus opposition its Neptune Jupiter in 2026/27 along with tr Saturn Neptune square the financial Venus in 2026 into 2027; with a major jolt of insecurity in 2028 as the Solar Arc Uranus is conjunct the Mars.
S&P 500 4 March 1957 will be up and down through the coming winter, edgy, confused and unsettled in 2026/27 and most at risk of panic/failure in 2028.
The FTSE (UK) 3 January 1984 again looks unsettled in 2026/27 with tr Uranus opposition the Venus; and most agitated in 2028 with SA Neptune square Saturn and SA Mars conjunct Uranus.
Notable companies involved in this sector of the market – Nvidia, Intel, Palantir, Meta, Amazon – all look to be following the same pattern with a bumpy road for two/three years peaking in significant challenges by 2027/28.
“… which might hint at a major war somewhere on the globe which could affect trade and economics.”
Wow, so another one is on its way and the current ones haven’t even finished. Just great.
Maybe its the possible Uranus in Gemini American unrest that might be coming soon. This redistricting somehow lit a bulb in me that maybe this is the beginning. A more open and visible one.
This is not doom-merchantship; this is ‘maybe we should prepare’.
On the question of AI, I saw a response to an article recently that admitted it was based directly on an AI generated answer to a Google search. I was immediately struck by the thought of how repressive regimes (Russia, China, North Korea, Iran and the like – and maybe some so-called democratic ones) could use their control of the internet to completely falsify news, facts and general information. I am a fan of the possibilities offered by using AI in, say, medicine; but some of its other applications are a cause for alarm.
