Artificial Intelligence was first used as a term in September 1955 when Uranus was at zero degrees Leo; and consolidated by a New Hampshire academic workshop starting 18 June 1956 when there was a super-charged Jupiter Pluto in Leo square Saturn in Scorpio; and Uranus still at zero Leo in an inventive square to Neptune.
This was a continuation of research undertaken by Alan Turing in his theory of computation. His influential 1950 paper showed that “machine intelligence” was plausible.
Turing was born 23 June 1912 2.15 am London. He had a Cancer Sun conjunct a late Pluto Venus in Gemini; with Uranus at 2 degrees Aquarius which tr Pluto is now crossing over.
Uranus shifting sign does appear to be one marker. Uranus is inventive, inspired, propels scientific inquiry but is ‘not of this earth’, in mythological terms the castrated sky god, head-in-the-clouds and not feet-on-the-ground. Which makes sense of what comes next.
From a helpful Telegraph piece:
The over-heated investment to date in AI has outpaced the electrical infrastructure needed to run data centres and sustain the technology on anything like the projected scale.
‘The physical constraint is rock hard. The threat to AI stock mania is not so much lack of energy – but the global bottleneck of transformers, substations, switchgear, transmission lines – leaving aside the acute shortage of skilled workers in the US able to install and run such kit.’
A data centre hub in Texas –– can use 10 million gallons of water a day for evaporative cooling and power generation. Outstanding requests have spiralled to 446 gigawatts (GW) by 2033 = five times peak power use for the entire state of Texas today, or 13 times the UK’s average use.
The Telegraph economics analyst writes: “Don’t track Nvidia chip orders if you want to know where the AI market is heading. Track the metaphorical picks and shovels that make it all possible. You cannot wish away a physical constraint.”
Cheaper AI from China may start to undercut American rivals – achieving 80pc-90pc of the performance at 10pc of the cost.
ADD ON: The tech-heavy Nasdaq index on Friday saw its biggest one-day drop since April 2025. Analysts say tech stocks are overvalued and could crash in the same way as the dotcom bubble in the early 2000s. Major investment funds pulled money out of AI and microchip companies, which have seen their share prices soar in recent years.
The Nasdaq chart, 8 February 1971 9am New York, is being rattled exactly now by tr Saturn opposition its Uranus, on one leg of a yod sextile Mars inconjunct Saturn. That repeats into early 2027. Tr Uranus is also opposition its Neptune Jupiter at the moment and into 2027. The classic financial-bubble-bursting indicator is Jupiter Neptune which soars on dreams and delusions and then crashes financially. 2028 would look to be another danger zone with Solar Arc Uranus conjunct the Nasdaq Mars jolting the yod at the same time as tr Uranus opposes the Mars and Solar Arc Saturn is square the Uranus.
So there will be a significant reset of the Nasdaq between now and 2029.
In the past months since January, I have been invited by a lot of companies that are trying to implement AI, one of the main challenges they are facing is fear and resistance from employees. Most employees fear AI will replace them and take their jobs. What we have been busy doing is to teach these employees and executives about AI, what is AI and how to use it and increase productivity and make more profits. You can work with AI. China has recently adopted a policy that if a company adopts AI, it should not retrench employees, that is correct, most countries are struggling with AI policy. Coming back to astrology, we are in a transition and change mode,and change is always difficult, if we look at Uranus and Pluto, they are forming a harmonious trine, which means more technological changes ahead, whether we like it or not. One analyst once said that “AI will never replace people, but it will replace people who don’t use it”, by the way AI is here to stay there is no turning back.
With regards to Nasdaq and markets, yes markets will fall but they will rise again, this fall has been triggered by high oil prices, which resulted in high inflation. What Pluto is doing now is transformation, it is forcefully transforming the world economy, most people have been complaining that only few people are billionaires and most of the world’s wealth is concentrated only in the US. That is coming to an end, what Pluto is bringing is equality, the world’s wealth will be distributed evenly across the board world wide. There is saying that says “If there US sneezes, the whole world suffers economically” not anymore, that is ending. Not only one country will dominate financially.
One of the things that caught my attention lately is SpaceX huge IPO, honestly I see a lot of disappointment among investors, most investors are thrilled and pouring a lot of money into the company, but I see them losing a lot of money, yes initially when SpaceX debuts on the stock market it will go up, but it will soon crash. Honestly as an astrologer I won’t advice anyone to buy stocks now, unless if you have spare money to loose. Also, I wonder who advised Elon Musk to issue an IPO at this time.
Gemini rules hands, legs lungs etc. So high lightly, self driving cars might be the new norm. Automated factories with all those robotic arms might also be the new norm.
So adding in Neptune in Aries, a bit of head in the water/ or in the fog. So true Intelligence might still be sone time away.
And I have not considered Pluto in Aquarius and Jupiter in Leo yet.
As for stocks market, be wise.
@Callie S, when I studied business in the mid-2010s, I read several future reports by prominent consultancy firms and think tanks. The self driving cars were supposed to reach critical mass diffusion by 2021–22, but right now, they are not even legal in many countries.
Technological automation has definitely already taken steps forward, but in many branches, the cost of machinery is too high to make it viable. For instance, I was working for a company where COO was a big advocate for some solutions, but board would keep delaying investments on ONE fully automated line, because the investment payback time, even with saving in manpower, was 5–7 years.
On the other hand, we’ve had development on fields that were not thought about: The drone technology has effectively changed the way wars are fought. I suppose this should have been on more people’s radar. Given my knowledge on astrology, I was always reading through the military industry sections of those reports with an extra care, because I definitely saw a change coming with Aquarius Pluto, Aries Neptune/Saturn, and Gemini Uranus.
This is Asian perspective. Taiwan, Japan, SEA are gearing up. Japan and LA already have robots delivery on the streets. My country have been trialing the automated cars since before pandemic at specific fixed locale. China EV are only missing the AI technology for self driving.
My personal observation has been technology starts, they expand, masses want but are price sensitive. Then suddenly out of nowhere the technology will just bulldozed itself into everyone home.
‘…… the technology will just bulldozed itself into everyone home’
Not if most of general population can’t afford it. They said same about electric cars and most countries are still falling short of the predicted quota in at this point in 2026 due to lack of affordability.
Back then when mobile phone was expensive not everyone have one. Then all of a sudden it became a norm and every teenager end up with one. I thought my family could not afford one for me and I might have to do part time jobs but eventually I have one as well.
I feel personally my country is in survival mode, not everyone is feeling it, those in my age group having lived through 1997 and 2008 and having parents or relatives who had been retrenched before, a bunch of my friends upon graduation was already in planning mode to retire early. That is why you are seeing many people in their 40s having “Fire”, coast fire, light fire and what’s not. This stock market boom is like a mercy before meltdown.
Sorry if it sounds too depressive.
AI art is the ugliest thing I’ve ever seen. The human heart, mind and hand can never be replicated imho.
Yes. And it is destroying creativity and the arts. So many friends have lost their jobs
This article may provide a bit of insight about when the AI bubble might burst.

Read it and amazed that Leo is flamboyant and then Aquarius restricts the money markets before the journey through Capricorn, not my favourite.
What AI22 said.
Thank you for this post. AI is truly the solution to a problem nobody had, designed to enrich and empower a handful of sociopaths, to the vast detriment of the rest of us.
Even scarier than the energy requirements are the demands on finite water resources, and the idiocy of placing AI facilities in semi-desert areas such as Texas where water is already in desperately short supply and is needed to, you know, support human life (quite apart from its critical agricultural uses).
That’s not even mentioning the slightly less existential, but still significant, knock-on effects of job loss and accelerated impoverishment of the vast majority, going hand-in-hand with the further enrichment of the very few. (If anyone believes the benevolent overlords’ tale-spinning about “universal basic income” that allows people to live in dignity, then God bless.) It’s like these AI tech potentates are actively trying to destroy what remains of society as they hasten a global extinction-level event.
Is there anything in the astrology to indicate a) when/if the AI financial bubble will burst and b) if/when humanity will move past this madness, reining in this rapacious technology and either killing it off or harnessing it for the common good? Thank you.
Been thinking about this a lot lately, not that I have any personal insight since I’m in my late 70s. I had a career that involved computers right from the start, having purchased our first one in 1981. A British made Victor, which was a well built machine that had a drive that sounded like a kitchen mix master getting up to speed and the cooling fan made an interesting hum. Amusing how much things have changed, but not changed as well. A technology is rooted in its physical components always, though AI is another beast entirely.
I suspect that the AI technical problems of power supply and cooling will be solved eventually. There are plans for power from wind mills and cooling as well as power from ocean tides in the works. The natural limits and resources must be tapped without destroying communities and wild creatures who depend on water. The price for misuse and abuse will be enormous. The water problem (Neptune, and the water signs/ruling planets) is critical and it was interesting to note that the NN, Moon, Jupiter and Venus were in water signs when the Blue Origin spacecraft blew up. Also, the Moon was in its fall in Scorpio, ruled by Mars in Taurus in its detriment. As the old margerine advert said, it’s not nice to fool mother nature!
OpenAI founded 8 December 2015 in Delaware has Neptune at 7 Pisces square Saturn at 8 Sagittarius exactly conjunct the North Node in that 1956 First AI Workshop chart. The Nasdaq Solar Arc Uranus at 8 Sagittarius is currently activating that square which is also going to be hit by transiting Uranus in Gemini in 2027-2028. Elon Musk’s SpaceX founded 14 March 2002 has its Saturn at 9 Gemini which will also be impacted by the Uranus transit over this period.
The come to Jesus moment for a lot of the AI companies is likely to arise when their shares are floated in the stock markets later this year via IPOs. Within 12 months of that event they will have to start showing profits to match their valuations or the share price will crash. My personal view is that though the technology is impressive it may not be quite as transformative in business terms as claimed. It also comes with quite considerable capital and running costs that will eat into earnings.
Ultimately I believe the technology is caught in a Catch 22 trap. If it is too expensive and fails to deliver the business transformation promised then there is potential for a supply side malinnvestment bust as their will be insufficient revenue to justify the massive capital outlay in data centres etc. If it is successful and really does eliminate 10-20% of jobs then workers will not have the income to service their debts, mortgages etc or to consume the goods or services that AI might be used to produce. In those circumstances consumer demand crashes and there will be widespread defaults leading to a financial crisis similar to 2008.
Totally agree on all of that, Hugh Fowler. The days of creativity are always limited in business once the investing and building the enterprise seed money is spent, huge $ though that may be with Bezos, Musk et al. Then it’s about profits and short term cycles. The Chinese have a different take on this process, as well as some others, who have less freedom for invention and entrepreneurship, but are tolerant of longer cycles to show results. Also, there is a real limit on how much consumers and lesser businesses than SpaceX etc. can adapt to in a few years.
I remember when computerized small business systems started to take over office work in the 80s and 90s, and a sales rep I spoke to said there is so much resistance from management who have no clue how the systems work(ed), that business owners and a generation of manager will have to retire or die off before the real change to computing will happen across the board. He was right – it took about 20 years until the late 90s, even early 2000s, before it took off in a transformative sense. Likely it will take less time for AI and its offspring to pervade everything in business, but still it will take some doing in the real world.
There will be resistance. Luddites are everywhere. And as you point out, a work force adjustment will be painful, not only for the workers themselves, but the spinoffs can be equally bad. All it would take is something like a crypto/dark money snag and before you know it, the banks and investment companies could be in deep trouble. But you don’t hear that much in the mainstream media. Apologies for no astrology!
Well put! This quote from Aldous Huxley seems appropriate “Technological progress has merely provided us with a more efficient means for going backwards”!
