Jitters in the financial world have sent the ‘fear gauge’ surging to highest level since early stages of pandemic. A global stock sell-off gathered pace with concern of a recession in the USA, the world’s biggest economy. Japanese, Asian and European markets suffered sharp declines in response.
This is a quick skip through the main charts – which I don’t keep an eye on generally so don’t know how reliable the start dates are in terms of registering events. But all seem to show more than usual levels of aggravation and setbacks now and through 2025 – which would mirror the signs of tensions rising on global central banks, especially the US Federal Reserve in 2025 when tr Neptune and Saturn move into Aries. (See post July 24 2024 Global finance – rising debt.)
New York Stock Exchange, 17 May 1792, 7.53am, Sun at 27 Taurus square Pluto at 23 Aquarius will be rocked and jangled by tr Uranus hard aspects right through until early 2026.
Dow Jones, 26 May 1896, 9.11am NY, has an uncertain and worrisome SA Saturn as well as tr Saturn in hard aspect to its Neptune his year into early 2025. With its financial Venus in Taurus also rattled into March 2025.
NASDAQ, 8 February 1971 9am, NY, has a shock and upsets coming into spring/summer 2025 with SA Sun opposition Uranus. With high anxiety in 2026/27 from tr Uranus opposition the Neptune.
S&P 500, 4 March 1957, also looks in line for a shock impact in 2025 from SA Sun conjunct Mars; plus a disruptive tr Uranus square Pluto from mid 2025 into 2026. Plus a confused, devastated tr Pluto square Neptune in 2024/25.
FTSE first trade, 3 January 1984 – upsets late December to mid March 2025 with tr Uranus square the Sun. A confidence dampening SA Saturn conjunct Jupiter through 2025 and grinding pressure from tr Pluto square the Pluto (conjunct Mars).
The Nikkei, 7 September 1950, upsets now into 2025 plus extreme difficulty getting forward traction.
It parallels earlier thoughts about an economic/financial slow down and challenges till 2026 clears.
Add on: Toronto Stock Exchange, 25 October 1861, has Neptune at 29 Pisces which is undergoing a Return until early 2026; with SA Neptune square the financial Venus at the moment. Neptune not being helpful around money matters. In addition it is under stress in 2024/25 from tr Pluto square its Taurus Sun. With high anxiety in 2026 from SA Neptune square Uranus and pressures continuing thereafter. Much the same as elsewhere.
Amsterdam Stock Exchange, 20 March 1602 presumably JC – showing same signs as elsewhere through next three years.
The major companies which have been holding the market up – Alphabet, Apple, Amazon, Netflix, Nvidia, Tesla, Meta, MacDonalds – are all showing a rocky ride right through till 2027.
Oddly the Inauguration 2025 is not showing up much financially if it goes ahead as normal.
Thank you Marjorie! As I noted in a different post, another astrologer came to similar conclusions (and dates) by using the US chart, regardless of who is elected.
I have little interest in financial matters (other than paying my bills and having no debt, being the good Virgo I am :), and thus make bad judgments in all personal matters stocks or real estate (afflicted Neptune in the 8th & Scorpio, no planets in Taurus) such that I’ve learned to stay out of it; but who really can when retirement accounts, banking and the entire economy are all connected to the market, so astrological insights at the macro level are most helpful! Saving your post…
do a synergy chart with Harris! Obviously, This started when Biden bowed out.
Not just Harris, but there has been governmental/vibes changes in the UK and France as well, with the new Labour government being just a month old yesterday and France of course having its legislative elections exactly a month ago, and then the ongoing Olympics.
Something’s getting triggered across all these three charts at the same time.
Toronto Stock Exchange TSE, 25 October 1861 is apparently tenth largest.
Relatively small stuff but might serve as an interesting comparable considering that you included the Bank of Canada recently.
Can you take a look at the chart of the first stock exchange ever, the Amsterdam one? Thank you!
No date apart from 1602
Thank you for replying! I found 20 March 1602, which is actually the establishment date for Dutch East India Company (Dutch: Vereenigde Oostindische Compagnie, often known as VOC).
This website “https://www.finanzmuseum.ch/en/home/blog/birth-of-trading.html” says
“Incidentally, the VOC was the first joint-stock company in the world, because as from its establishment on 20 March 1602, it had all the elements of a joint-stock company as we know it today: the “shares” denote collective ownership, a right to share in any profit, and limitation of liability to the nominal value of the share.”
