It’s fun on major events to look at the stars and see where the clues were. There is a running argument in astrology world as to which system is more accurate. The old Tropical measurements of the Babylonian Age, or the current planetary measurements noted by Vedic & Sidereal Astrology, and NASA!! Look at the following AI chart interpretations. Compare them to see how today stacks up with both methods. Decide for yourself.!

To compare the tropical and sidereal charts and assess which might be more indicative of a stock market crash, let’s first understand the key differences between the two systems:

• Sidereal Astrology: This system uses the fixed stars as a reference point, aligning with the actual constellations in the sky. It is primarily used in Vedic astrology and considers the precession of the equinoxes.
• Tropical Astrology: This system is based on the Earth’s seasons, with the vernal equinox (the start of spring) marking the beginning of Aries. The tropical zodiac is more commonly used in Western astrology and does not account for the precession of the equinoxes.

Today’s Tropical Chart (Wall Street, 9:30 AM, August 5, 2024)

Analysis of Today’s Tropical Chart:

• Libra Ascendant: Libra rising suggests a focus on balance, partnerships, and financial markets. However, with Venus (ruler of Libra) retrograde in Leo, there could be disruptions in financial stability, particularly related to luxury goods, markets, and partnerships.
• Sun in Leo: The Sun in its own sign of Leo in the 10th house (in a day chart) suggests a strong emphasis on leadership and authority. However, with Venus retrograde, there could be issues in the financial leadership or challenges in maintaining market confidence.
• Moon in Virgo: The Moon in Virgo might bring an analytical and cautious approach to market activities, but combined with a retrograde Mercury in Virgo, this can lead to over-analysis, confusion, and delays, potentially creating market instability.
• Mercury Retrograde in Virgo: Mercury retrograde in its own sign of Virgo can create significant communication and technology issues, leading to errors, misunderstandings, and market volatility.
• Mars in Gemini: Mars in Gemini can lead to quick decisions and potentially hasty or reactive market movements, further exacerbating instability.
• Saturn Retrograde in Pisces: Saturn retrograde in Pisces in the 6th house could suggest challenges related to debts, loans, and hidden issues coming to light, leading to potential market corrections.

Analysis of Today’s Sidereal Chart

The sidereal astrology chart for today, when the markets opened on Wall Street, reveals several significant planetary positions that could have contributed to the stock market crash:

1. Ascendant in Virgo (Kanya Lagna):
   • The Ascendant is in Virgo, ruled by Mercury, which is currently retrograde and placed in the 12th house in Leo. This position indicates confusion, delays, and potential losses, as Mercury in retrograde can cause communication issues, misunderstandings, and general market instability.
2. Sun in the 11th House (Cancer):
   • The Sun, representing authority, leadership, and financial institutions, is in Cancer, in the 11th house of gains and social networks. Although this is generally a strong position, the Sun is in Ashlesha Nakshatra, which is ruled by Mercury (also retrograde), leading to potential instability in gains and disruptions in the financial network.
3. Moon, Mercury, and Venus in the 12th House (Leo):
   • The Moon, Mercury, and Venus are all placed in the 12th house of losses, expenses, and foreign influences. This combination is particularly troubling, as the Moon governs emotions and public sentiment, which could lead to panic selling. Mercury retrograde adds confusion, and Venus, the planet of wealth, in this house could signify financial losses and decreased market value.
4. Mars and Jupiter in the 9th House (Taurus):
   • Mars and Jupiter are both placed in Taurus in the 9th house, which deals with higher knowledge, philosophy, and long-distance matters. This combination can lead to aggressive decisions or actions in foreign investments or philosophies that could impact the market. However, this position is relatively stable, but the effect of the retrograde Mercury weakens their positive influence.
5. Saturn Retrograde in the 6th House (Aquarius):
   • Saturn is retrograde in Aquarius in the 6th house of conflicts, debts, and challenges. Retrograde Saturn often slows down processes and brings about delays and challenges. This could have manifested in unresolved issues related to debts, loans, or other financial conflicts coming to the forefront, causing market instability.
6. Rahu in the 7th House (Pisces):
   • Rahu is placed in Pisces in the 7th house, which rules partnerships, business contracts, and open enemies. Rahu here can cause deception, confusion, and unexpected events in partnerships or market collaborations. Its influence can lead to irrational market behavior, exaggerations, and potential scandals or surprises that affect the market negatively.
7. Ketu in the 1st House (Virgo):
   • Ketu in the Ascendant can lead to sudden, unexpected events that disrupt the market. Ketu’s influence is often associated with detachment, losses, and sudden changes, which can lead to market volatility.

Summary:

• Mercury Retrograde in the 12th house, combined with the placement of Venus and Moon in the same house, strongly indicates financial losses, confusion, and market instability.
• The presence of Rahu in the 7th house suggests deceptive or unexpected events affecting partnerships and business dealings.
• Saturn Retrograde in the 6th house could exacerbate ongoing financial challenges, leading to a crash.

Comparison: Sidereal vs. Tropical

• Sidereal Chart: Emphasizes confusion, losses, and disruptions, especially with Mercury, Venus, and the Moon in the 12th house, and a retrograde Saturn in the 6th house.
• Tropical Chart: Highlights potential disruptions due to retrograde Venus in Leo, Mercury retrograde in Virgo, and Saturn retrograde in Pisces. The Libra Ascendant, ruled by retrograde Venus, can lead to instability in financial markets, similar to the sidereal chart.

Which is More Indicative of a Crash?

• Sidereal Chart: Focuses more on potential losses and unexpected disruptions due to the heavy influence of the 12th house (losses and foreign influences) and the malefic influence of retrograde Saturn in the 6th house (debts and conflicts).
• Tropical Chart: Also indicates market instability, but the focus is more on communication issues (Mercury retrograde in Virgo) and challenges in leadership and partnerships (Venus retrograde in Leo ruling the Libra Ascendant).

AI Conclusion: Both charts indicate potential instability, but the sidereal chart might be slightly more indicative of a crash due to its emphasis on loss-related houses and the heavy influence of retrograde planets in challenging positions. The tropical chart also suggests significant challenges but with a slightly different emphasis on communication and leadership issues.

These transits create a perfect storm for market disruption, leading to today’s crash.
