The US stock market had its worst day of trading in 2019 (thus far) on August 14, 2019. The DOW fell 800 points (or 3.05 %). The S & P 500 index and the NASDAQ also fell about the same percentage. Traders were stunned and worried because of the inverted yield curve. They have also been worried about what Trump’s trade war with China is doing to the national economy. I suspect that those concerns are warranted.
The chart for the close of trading on that day (in New York) shows transiting Mars at 27 Leo. At that degree, it is stimulating the August 21, 2017 total solar eclipse point (the Great American Eclipse) by conjunction. And, in that chart of the eclipse over Washington DC, it shows transiting Pluto in the second house of finances in opposition to transiting Venus (and Ceres) in the eighth house of investments and debt.
The chart for the close of trading on that day also shows transiting Mars stimulating the February 15, 2018 solar eclipse in Aquarius by opposition. In my writeup for this eclipse, I wrote:
“For the US, this eclipse will affect our national debt, joint finances, investments, the stock market …”
In this eclipse, the eclipse point itself is in the eighth house. And also in that eclipse chart, transiting Mars is in the fifth house of speculative ventures and in a square aspect to transiting Neptune (in the eighth house). Neptune rules the ninth house of foreign nations in the eclipse chart, and I suspect that Trump’s trade war with China also had an effect.
And, last but certainly not least, transiting Pluto is stimulating the July 12, 2019 solar eclipse in Cancer by opposition to the eclipse point. In my writeup for that eclipse, I wrote:
“For the US, this eclipse will affect children, the entertainment industry, risky investments, and the stock market”
“Transiting Mars also squares transiting Uranus (in the second house). Sudden and violent fluctuations in the stock market and with regard to monetary interests are likely to occur as a result of this eclipse. This might have to do with actions our friends might take (tariffs?) since Uranus rules the eleventh house”
In addition to the above, transiting Jupiter is located in the eighth house in that eclipse chart and in a square aspect to transiting Neptune (in the first and conjunct the Ascendant).
These same issues will continue to be a problem for the US stock market on into next year. And, it could have a big effect on the next presidential election. Will Trump remain firm regarding his tariffs on China? We’ll see.
The charts for the eclipses that I mentioned in this post are in the previous posts that I linked to in this report. And, the chart for the stock market closing on August 14 is below.
