  • How high?

    Markets are building on their recent breakout to new highs. The most recent lunar red period ended with big gains for the major stock indexes, and now we are in an eclipse green period. Historically stocks have done very well in eclipse green periods. That doesn’t mean further gains are guaranteed, but we definitely shouldn’t…

  • A reader asked me what to expect from the Mercury retrograde period that is starting today. I am getting that question from time to time. Will it bring more volatility? Will stocks go down?

Astrologers tell me to watch out for the next opposition of Jupiter to Saturn, or warn me that Uranus will be going retrograde next week. What about the Bradley indicator? Or the solar cycle? So let’s have a look…
