New moon of 6th October 2021
The past few weeks has seen markets trying to resolve itself to the downside. October- 4 January 2022 (just after the Venus retrograde) should see range bound conditions affording entry points at bottoms. Let’s begin with a look at the new moon for October 6:
· The new moon is on angle (in Libra) opposing Chiron.
· Pluto stations direct
· Jupiter, Saturn, Mercury stations direct during the month of the lunation
Mars is conjunct the lunation and falls in the 4th house of the NYSE which opposes the 10th of the NYSE and loosely opposes Chiron.
Generally, this new moon does not smack of bullishness at all. That said, it may not be all that bearish given Neptune has not arrived on that critical 23–24-degree Pisces Mid-heaven line and Jupiter stations direct during the lunation.
What I don’t like about the new moon is that Mercury in the 4th house and Pluto in the 7th house are at right angles to each other and the resultant outcome may have an impact on the stock market given this discordant aspect occurs in the key planetary houses in the NYSE chart.
In addition, the day Mercury stations direct on 18th October, it almost exactly opposes Chiron in the 10th house.
Pluto specifically in 7th house has links to trading volume and Mercury, the messenger of the gods might trigger selling or buying, which in either case may be pronounced.
My bias tends towards a ranging market this quarter due to heliocentric cycles not within remit of this new moon letter, but I’ll be looking for lows to add to bullish positions for a spring rally into April 2022. Note that Jupiter is in healthy aspect to Pluto so severe downside is likely mitigated strengthening the case for a ranging market.
