What does astrology tell us about financial markets now?

The past two weeks have seen a big rally in the US stock market, buoyed most likely by the conjunction of Jupiter (optimism) and Neptune (dreams and illusions).  The presence of Chiron there adds caution to what would otherwise be a much more buoyant grasp at the gold ring with the Jupiter/Neptune alliance.  Chiron reminds us of the wounds recently experienced and helps to keep things a bit under control.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average hit a bottom on July 10 which was the day of the exact conjunction of Jupiter and Neptune, and has risen every day since then. Today Venus, the great Attractor, is in an exact trine to the Triple Conjunction (Jupiter, Chiron and Neptune), and the Moon will jump in, forming a Grand Trine with the Triple Conjunction for much of the day.  There is tremendous optimism in the air today that can overcome any negativity.  
Still, it would be foolish to get caught up in an illusory optimism that drives the markets up temporarily until the reality of Pluto in Capricorn steps in.  Pluto turns direct in mid-September, and that will likely mark a return to realism/pessimism.  But even before then Saturn (convention and practicality) will begin again to oppose Uranus (all things new and different) in the latter part of August.  So we will continue to see some ups and downs for some time to come. 
Jupiter and Neptune will collide for one final time (this cycle) in November of this year, but at that same time Saturn will be preparing to square Pluto which can be a big challenge.  I would probably not jump into any long term investing yet but it may be an interesting time for a short run.

Year of the Dragon
This is the Year of the Water Dragon, which evidently is a very big deal in Chinese culture.  I confess that my knowledge of Chinese astrologer doesn't extend far beyond what's printed on the placemats in Chinese restaurants, but I do know that I am a Dragon which made no sense when I was younger.

Another timely article that deserves a comment. But none here yet. They’re mostly back at the solar eclipse that unmasks.
However, I just came from Lynn’s newer article on the Saturn – Uranus opposition where, due to time limitations, I offered only a title for Sakoian & Acker’s transit book.
Would like to come back when the moment allows to say something re. the markets (because, after all, money is power…right?…it’s what moves our world, though I recall Helen of Troy used something else), but now will just add that I think people just don’t want to think about money…period !!! No ???

It’s not that as much Yoshinogawa as it is waiting for the other shoe to drop, so to speak. Check out Ray Merriman’s weekly forecasts. We are still in for a rocky road.
