We do have the following lunar phases this month:
New Moon in Virgo
Full Moon in Aries
Mercury, the planet ruling markets, commerce and trading will go direct starting September 15th, bringing some dynamics for short term development of financial assets, despite all the other outer planets which are retrograde.
Venus will turn direct on September 4th, speeding up the developments of currencies and cryptocurrencies after the whole retrograde motion which slowed things down.
On the same day though, on September 4th, Jupiter will turn retrograde.
It is interesting to see Venus and Jupiter both changing direction on September 4th, one going direct and the other retrograde, as if they would inverse roles. This can be interpreted as short term developments being more dynamic and long term some financial assets will be favored.
On September 4th, Moon is conjunct Jupiter, which can bring an overall pump in the markets.
Jupiter will stay retrograde until the end of the year, traversing back 10 degrees, roughly from 15° to 5° of Taurus in the tropical zodiac.
This means that Jupiter will revisit these degrees which have been favorable for some cryptocurrencies and stocks and growth can repeat again for these if there are no other stronger influences in the natal charts of these financial assets.
Cryptocurrencies and stocks which registered growth from June 11th, 2023 until September 1st, 2023 are likely to grow again provided there are no stronger negative influences competing at the same time.
All other outer planets (Pluto, Neptune, Uranus and Saturn) are retrograde which in general gives lower speed to markets, requiring patience in terms of trading for big moves.
However, we can say that based on the quicker moving planets Venus and Mercury turning direct, we will see more dynamics between September 4th - September 15th and then even more speed in the second part of September.
The month is like the silence before the storm, since October will bring the eclipses.
The days depicted with the fire symbol bring temporary volatility during the day, the potential for short lived pumps and dumps is enhanced during these days.
A more long term volatility aspect takes place on September 29th (can be felt +/- 3 days) which is negative and can bring a more consistent dump since eclipses are approaching as well, therefore the energy is stronger. This is a negative influence due to a tensionate aspect between Uranus and Venus.
This month there will be 2 full Moons: one in the beginning and the other one on the last day of the month.
Full Moon in Aquarius
New Moon in Leo
Full Moon in Pisces
Jupiter will be in direct motion the whole month of August and Uranus as well, until August 29th.
However, the other planets (Neptune, Pluto, Saturn) responsible for long term aspects on financial markets will all be retrograde in August.
Venus, which is a planet responsible for short term influences and is tightly linked to currency, will be retrograde the whole month as well, meaning that in general less dynamics will manifest in the price evolution as such.
Mercury will also turn retrograde on August 23rd, which will also contribute to a decrease in speed in the evolution of price. But there will be especially mid month between August 9th - August 16th some dynamics and temporary volatility caused by aspects between Mars, Uranus and Jupiter and Venus, Uranus and Jupiter, respectively.
August 16th, the New Moon day promises strong volatility, both upwards and downwards, a local peak and bottom are possible and this could manifest as a sharp increase/drop in price. Please note that this fire aspect is at day level, which means that it can be felt before and after it is exact, so it will not necessarily manifest exactly on August 16th. I think though it is likely that it will take place on this day due to the strong Moon energy on that day: the New Moon.
August 9th is a volatile day as well, negative influence, daily aspect, where Venus (the planet of currency & cryptocurrency is involved). The aforementioned remark with its manifestation around the day and not exactly on the day, is valid.
Bitcoin will get some steam upwards due to a trend from Jupiter which is promising and long term, being active for the month of August. The aspect was exact on July 30th.
This will bring more stability and steadiness in the price action during the month, despite the temporary volatility registered in the middle of the month.
The speed in the markets slows down as Saturn, Pluto and Neptune are all retrograde and Venus goes retrograde as well on July 23rd. Venus is linked to monetary value, therefore the speed of development in regards to cryptocurrencies and currencies in general will be delayed, various aspects of it being reconsidered.
On July 2nd, there is a square (tensionate aspect) between Uranus and Venus, which can bring sudden developments in regards to currencies and cryptocurrencies in general.
There could be surprising news regarding these and their value can fluctuate quite significantly.
The Full Moon takes place in Capricorn on July 3rd, influencing #BTC quite strongly, since it is in the same sign with BTC’s natal Sun position.
On July 17th a New Moon in Cancer takes place. There could be new developments regarding real estate with this position.
Mid July, on July 10th, Mars enters Virgo and on July 28th Mercury enters the sign of Virgo. This will bring more dynamics in the development of #BTC’s price.
On July 12th, there is another important event: Rahu, the North Node leaves Taurus (tropical).
This will bring a calm down in volatility since only Uranus is in Taurus, bringing innovation and new beginnings, but also more clarity in the financial system in the next months.
Saturn started its retrograde motion mid June, more exactly on June 17th, starting its journey backwards in the sidereal nakshatra of Shatabishak, basically going back the 7 degrees it crossed from March until mid June.
In the tropical zodiac it means that it goes back to 0° Pisces, meaning that changes that have occurred in the last 3-4 months from March will need to be revised, reformulated and reshaped. Saturn is much stronger in the second pada, which is basically ruled by the sign of Capricorn, linked to rules and regulation, legal framework and to hierarchy and top dow structures and processes.
Overall Capricorn is a sign which gives a lot of ambition on material level and a lot of drive and energy. Shatabishak has a dimension of healing to it as well, as mentioned in a previous entry/video and it would accelerate the business cycles in general, having zero or the circle as a symbol.
When Saturn is retrograde, happenings in general slow down, the analytical dimension prevails. Markets will slow down until November 4th, when the retrograde motion takes place.
The sentiment in the markets will change during this time, from conservatory / dominated by fear - to optimism. Based on the sidereal zodiac, we can divide the time until November 4th as follows:
June 17th - August 22nd - PESSIMISTIC
August 22nd - November 4th - OPTIMISTIC
Uranus will cross the yoga tara (most important star) of the sidereal Aries in the second part of July, which will bring some speed to the evolution in the markets.
On July 23rd, Venus will turn retrograde in the tropical zodiac sign of Leo backtracking roughly 16°, from 28° to 12°.
Venus is linked to monetary value, to currency and crypto currencies, while Leo is the sign of regulators, government and decision makers.
Matters regarding value and monetary gains will be revised while Venus will be retrograde until September 4th and some aspects of the happenings regarding this domain in the last months will be revisited.
In the sidereal zodiac, Venus retrograde will traverse the nakshatra/constellation of Magha and Ashlesha. Magha is linked to power, kings, government - while Ashlesha is more linked to the pharmaceutical industry in general. Therefore we can see important revisions and developments in these domains (monetary, pharma).
The interval July 23rd - August 7th has the potential to be eventful in terms of crypto/currencies, as well as the first part of October (more details to come later as the event is approaching).
On July 12th, after 19 months roughly, Rahu, the North Node of the Moon will transition from the tropical sign of Taurus (finances, banks, money), where it was conjunct with Uranus for the last year) into Aries - the sign of new beginnings, of the entrepreneur, of innovation, of courage.
Aries is a much faster sign than Taurus, therefore collectively we will see a lot of speed. This means also that Uranus will stay alone (without a collective influence such as Rahu) until 2026 in the financial sign of Taurus in the tropical zodiac and the innovation of the financial system will continue in a more structured, organized manner.
In the sidereal zodiac, Rahu will continue its transit through the sidereal Aries in the 2nd pada of the Ashwini nakshatra which has the energy of Ketu and Taurus, connected to money. From a sidereal perspective, it is the last pada in Aries with the energy of Taurus (money) - which means that some important development or milestone is achieved while Rahu is still transiting this nakshatra pada. This transit will finish on August 28th, 2023.
Another remarkable aspect is the fact that Libra is in the 4th house of the sidereal BTC chart, which means its foundation. It is about growing the foundation of #BTC, reshaping it in a major way and we already saw that with the innovation in NFTs - #BTC Ordinals, a breakthrough in the #BTC ecosystem. Libra is associated with art, being ruled by Venus and hence, well linked to NFTs as well.
Rahu, the North Node is the place where we collectively approach new, innovative things . For #BTC this is Aries, situated in the 10th house of image in the society. The public perception and the role to play for #BTC will change tremendously in the next 19 months roughly, while Rahu will be in Aries.
One interpretation could be that #BTC will be perceived by the society as much more than only a store of value (win-win, Libra - a.k.a. value is not lost).
June is a very important month for the financial markets, with the discussions referring the US Debt Ceiling topic and the overall banking crisis in the background.
It is about transformation in the financial landscape, about reviewing laws and regulation, about embracing the new in parallel with the old and making a sound judgement about the use cases and new beginnings in crypto and NFTs.
Read further and watch the video below in order to find out more about June astro for #BTC and main US indices, Saturn and Neptune going retrograde and the effects of the faster moving planets Mars, Mercury and Venus & Moon phases on the financial markets.
In the first part of the month all planets with the exception of Pluto are direct.
On June 17th, Saturn turns retrograde, which is marked in the calendar with a thick blue border, the color of Saturn.
The full Moon happens in Sagittarius on June 4th. On June 5th, Venus enters Leo, which is a favorable influence for #BTC in general.
The full Moon in Sagittarius will bring optimism and volatility in a positive sense in the markets in general.
Towards the mid of the month, big shifts in energy happen since on June 11th, Pluto leaves Aquarius (tropical).
On June 21st, Sun enters Cancer and we do have the summer solstice, which is always a point in time charged with extra energy.
Between June 11th and June 27th, Mercury will transit the sign of Gemini, the sign of markets and trading and the Sun will be in Gemini in the first 3 weeks of June as well, which will trigger speed of evolution in the financial markets in general.
The New Moon happens in Gemini, on June 18th.
From June 27th, Mercury will transit the sign of Cancer.
On June 30th, Neptune turns retrograde.
The last part of the month, especially from June 21st onwards will be turbulent for #BTC, the astro influences enabling price drops. June 21st, 24th and 28th are the richest days in terms of astrological influences, bringing volatility and drops in prices.
June 28th is a negative day for SPX500 & NASDAQ as well, the first signs of drops appearing on June 26th already for both US indices.
May is another complex month, with the following main trends:
Pluto turning retrograde May 1st
The lunar eclipse on May 5th
Mercury turning direct May 15th
Jupiter entering the tropical Taurus on May 16th
Sun enters the tropical sign of Gemini on May 21st, bringing more energy into the markets in general.
On May 5th, the Full Moon Lunar Eclipse takes place. This is seen as negative due to the sign of Scorpio where the eclipse takes place where the Moon is debilitated (this means weakest position) - market sentiment is low and a lot of what happens in the markets could be driven by negative emotions, as a reaction to some bigger money moves from fund managers possibly(since Scorpio symbolizes large sums of money).
Mercury is retrograde the first half of May, until May 15th, then it goes direct for the whole month.
On May 7th, Venus enters Cancer and on May 20th, Mars enters the tropical Leo, moving towards important points in the chart of Bitcoin, not necessarily the best transit.
Combined with the eclipse energy manifested before and lasting the whole month, this astrological influence will disadvantage #BTC to some degree at least.
On May 16th, Jupiter enters the tropical sign of Taurus, which is in harmony with the #BTC chart. In general, Taurus as a financial sign with Jupiter, the great
Benefic traversing it, should be a good sign for financial matters and bring luck and development speed in all things money.
Jupiter will stay in Taurus until May 25th, 2024.
The Moon is in the middle of the tropical Scorpio which is around 21° in the sidereal zodiac in the Nakshatra of Vishaka, very close to the yoga tara (the most important star in this constellation).
The significance of the constellation is connected to split, to partying ways, therefore it is possible that some big changes and restructuring would take place around the financial system, since Scorpio symbolizes big money. In the sidereal zodiac, Libra is connected to law as well, so legislation changes, categorization or split could occur in some ways in the upcoming months.
While Neptune makes a square to Venus which is a bit more than 1 degree orb of being exact, this being a negative aspect, Jupiter makes a sextile (positive aspect) with Venus, significator of monetary value. This benefic aspect from Jupiter is stronger since the orb is tighter (within 30 minutes of a degree).
However, Venus is located on Betelgeuse, the yoga tara (most important star) of Ardra Nakshatra, which is a constellation connected to storm. As Jupiter always expands what it touches, it is likely to expand matters regarding monetary value (Venus), situated in Gemini (the sign of markets).
Storms bring winds with them and instability, therefore we can expect volatility around this time, with decreases in the value of the prices. Scorpio, the tropical sign where the Moon is eclipsed and which is also n the ascendant, is linked to big money and to funds, bonds, etc. pointing towards big shifts in this area of the financial system, bringing changes in this regard in the months to come.
Looking at the specific astro influences on various financial assets, we do see a turbulent May ahead, where deep changes in the evolution of price are likely for US indices and crypto as well, especially as May approaches to an end. For specific dates, there are written reports available on Patreon.
At Jupiter’s ingress in Taurus, on May 16th, 2023 - we do have a mix of positive and negative influences. The square between Jupiter and Pluto continues to persist, in a similar manner like at the solar eclipse on April 20th, pointing towards matters regarding regulation of value and financial matters.
We do have Pluto opposing Mars and Neptune trining Mars, which is again a conflict between the idealism and freedom of Neptune and the power, control and regulation/law/restrictions which come from Pluto.
Jupiter is also in a square to Mars, putting restrictions on the speed of developments as well.
Jupiter expands whatever it touches, mainly matters regarding finances, banks, but also food and agriculture, which will be in high focus in the months to come. Jupiter will transit the tropical sign of Taurus until May 25th, 2024.
Taurus is also about the Earth, the environment and sustainability in general, being the most fixed sign from the whole zodiac. It points towards the collective need for a solid foundation and stability.
We see also that Mars is quite highlighted at this ingress, symbolizing the collective will, but also the anger and frustration, a rebellious attitude at global level in general, especially until mid July when the North Node Rahu will shift out of Taurus.
An interesting year, where our sense of money and value will develop further and a new financial system will be progressively built until the end of 2025, beginning of 2026 - when Uranus will go out of Taurus.
Now Jupiter puts the focus on Taurus, after Uranus entered it and Rahu the North Node transited it, opening a lot of innovation and newness in finance. Taurus is about youth and anti-aging as well, so we might see a lot of innovation in the anti-aging area in the years to come, a consistent growth of the „immortality as a service“ trend.
While Rahu and Uranus spark innovation and give a quantum leap in general to any domain, Jupiter will grow it consistently, in a much more orderly and organized manner, leading towards solid expansion.
Not without struggle and conflicts, but still, 2023/2024 will be a tremendous year of transformation and progress in all domains linked to Taurus.
April is one of the pivotal months of the year, with a rare hybrid eclipse.
Please see below several videos covering different aspects of the complex astrological landscape and a summary of the influences for the month in text format as well .
All planets are direct in April, excepting Mercury which will turn retrograde on April 21st and will stay retrograde until the end of the month. The day is marked with a bold green border (Mercury’s color is green).
The most notable event of this month which can be felt also one month before, is the eclipse on April 20th, which is marked with a bold black border in the calendar above. It is a North Node Rahu eclipse which brings something usually and it is a hybrid eclipse since Rahu is still in Taurus. It happens at 29° - which is the anaretic degree, marking the end of an era. It is worthwhile to note that this New Moon is again in Aries, like the last time, marking the beginning of a new cycle, since the New Moon in March was at 0° and this one is at the end of Aries. Jupiter is in Aries, which points towards a beneficial New Moon eclipse, which is in contrast with the previous Full Moon in Virgo which happened in the beginning of March.
Hybrid eclipses are quite rare, pointing to important changes in general, the last one taking place 10 years ago in 2013 and the next one will take place in 2031.
Mercury enters Taurus, the sign of money on April 3rd. This will be positive for the markets since until the 11th, Venus and Mercury will be together in Taurus, energizing the financial markets in a beneficial way.
Then, on April 11th, Venus will enter Gemini, the sign of trading and markets, which is a very good influence especially now that Mars is finally out of Gemini. Venus represents monetary value, so increases of price levels are in general to be expected for currencies and cryptocurrency markets especially until April 21st while Mercury is direct.

VIDEO Introduction: March 2023 - Monthly Trends
March is maybe the most complex month of the year, from an astrological standpoint. Since it is so eventful, we would like to offer 3 parts video series on what we can expect. Concrete references to the high level impact on #BTC and #ETH are mentioned as well.
In the middle of the month on the 16th, Venus enters Taurus, the sign of money and it will be in the same sign like Uranus, which should help any drop occurring earlier in the month, around the full Moon.
On March 19th, Mercury enters Aries, being in the same sign with Jupiter, which means that it will help the overall situation in the markets.
On March 25th, Mars changes sign, entering Cancer. We highlight the day with a bold red border. Mars is weak in Cancer, being debilitated, which means that the volatility in the markets will decrease overall.
This means that drops and increases would be more stable in nature, so the recovery after a local drop will not happen so fast like during the months when Mars is strong. Mars finished an unusually long transit in Gemini in the last 7 months and this month it will have a normal cycle.
Fluctuations might be expected on the real estate market with Mars in Cancer in some locations price drops will be registered.
All planets are direct this month as well, but like January, this month is also a very complex one, involving several planets changing signs.
On March 7th, Saturn enters Pisces. This is a long term transit which will last until May 25th, 2025 and it will influence the markets long term.
On the day of its ingress, a drop in the markets can occur since on the same day there is a full Moon exactly opposite Saturn and this is a negative influence. As usual, we mark this day with a strong dark blue border in the calendar.
#BTC will be more affected by the Saturn transit until mid May, while #ETH will be affected from the second week of May until the beginning of August roughly. For #BTC when positive aspects from Saturn are active, they should be stronger.
On March 23rd, Pluto enters Aquarius, which is a very special event about which I wrote an article and I explained the main trends for the upcoming 20 years. It is a very strong energy shift. As usual, this day is depicted in the calendar with a bold purple border.
Full Moon in Virgo on March 7th, strong drop influence, when we can expect a dump due to the opposition between Moon and Saturn and Saturn entering Pisces exactly on that day.
On S&P500 a drop is expected in the interval February 25th - March 8th with March 8th immediately following the full Moon with a negative aspect of maximum intensity being exact. This might point to a market event triggered by negative news/press. However, the second part of the month looks well in terms of recovery at least.
On NASDAQ the whole month, but especially the first half of it, March 7th - 17th looks negative, starting with the full Moon day.
#BTC & #ETH are negatively affected as well, especially #BTC for the first week of March and both of them have negative aspects exact on March 9th which shows the negative effect of the full Moon and of Saturn’s ingress in Pisces.
New Moon in Aries on March 21st, quite intense due to the fact that Pluto and Mars, two very intense planets will change signs in the days after the new Moon, this increasing the pressure. With Pluto, we can expect pressure on the markets coming from a regulatory standpoint and in general a weaker evolution of prices overall due to Mars entering Cancer.
VIDEO: February 2023 - Monthly Trends
All planets are direct during this month which will ensure a faster speed of development in the financial markets in general.
The full Moon in Leo on February 5th is quite positive in nature for both #BTC and #ETH, but the mid month shows turbulence on S&P 500. For more details, check out Patreon at: www.patreon.com/astroweb3.
From February 11th, Mercury enters Aquarius which is a friend sign and this ingress is also another catalyst for development based on aspects from Mercury, due to the fact that according to some school of thought Mercury is considered even exalted in Aquarius. Being direct, Mercury contributes positively if it is in good aspects with the natal chart of the specific cryptocurrency.
The sign of Aquarius is associated with new age technologies and hence, with cryptocurrency.
From February 20th onwards Venus will be in Aries, in the same sign with Jupiter, which will enable faster price movement due to the conjunction of the two benefic planets in the sky (Jupiter - the great benefic and Venus - the smaller benefic one, being an indicator for monetary value in general).
VIDEO: January 2023 - Monthly Trends
Mercury will be retrograde in Capricorn from January 1st to January 18th, 2023, which will result in an overall slowdown of the markets.
Some cryptocurrencies will have more price movements, either for the better or worse, since Mercury being retrograde will hit important planets in their natal chart several times. If this occurs, then it will be outlined for the specific cryptocurrency.
The whole month Mercury will be in Capricorn, which is a friendly sign, therefore the retrogradation should not cause great havoc.
Venus, the planet of money, values, enters Aquarius on January 3rd and will stay there until January 27th, when it will enter the sign of Pisces.
The condition of Venus is good the whole month since Aquarius is a friendly sign and in the last 4 days of the month it will be exalted in Pisces which means that it will gain in strength, contributing to higher price movements, especially after January 27th.
On January 12th, Mars will turn direct. It will be retrograde from the beginning of the year and then in the second part of the month it will gain speed and this will add up to financial market dynamics.
Jupiter just entered Aries on December 20th, 2022 and in January 2023 it will traverse the first degrees of Aries. Aries is a very fast sign and Jupiter being direct, this should result in faster speed in developments in the financial markets in general.
Uranus will be retrograde until January 22nd, 2023, when it will turn direct as well, adding up to the speed in the markets. At this point in time, both Mars and Uranus will be direct, which means that sudden price moves can happen faster in the last week of January.
Mars is retrograde the whole month and out of bounds as well.
In December three planets will be out of bounds, which will increase the potential for gain or loss, depending on the type of aspects performed (either red - negative or green-positive).
In a nutshell, we can expect bigger gains and bigger losses during the month, short term.
Venus is out of bounds between December 1st and December 24th.
Mercury is out of bounds between December 1st and December 21st.
This means that especially the first 3 weeks of December will be more potent in terms of gains and losses.
Jupiter enters the sign of Aries on December 20th.
Pluto makes an opposition with Lilith on December 13th. This is a long term negative aspect, not necessarily to be felt on the day, but still to be considered as it will slow down growth in general.
