The text below gives reasons for a steady stock market in Jan & Feb 2024, before collapse in the months that follow.

A geocentric Mars-centered Ephemeris means that the positions of the planets are those observed from the Earth. Mars is plotted at the center, while other planets are placed at Left of Right of Mars.

Mars is a positive planet. The influence of a strong Mars can erase adverse force, resulting in rises of stocks.

In Jan & Feb 2024, Mars makes several hard aspects with Outer planets. (N Node is treated as a planet):
  10 Jan 2024 [Uranus Sesquare Mars]. Sesquare = 135⁰
  23 Jan 2024 [N Node Square Mars]. Square = 90⁰.
  02 Feb 2024 [Saturn Semi-square Mars]. Semi-square = 45⁰.
  14 Feb 2014 [Pluto Conjunction Mars]
  28 Feb 2024 [Neptune Semi-square Mars],

Bullish features on the Saturn-centered Ephemeris are:
   09 Jan 2024 [Saturn Semi-square Sun]. Semi-square = 45⁰.
  15 Jan 2024 [N Node Semi-square Saturn].

Mercury & Venus transit 45⁰ (a Semi-square”) behind Saturn to stimulate Saturn:
   30 Jan 2024 [Saturn Semi-square Mercury]
   10 Feb 2024 [Saturn Semi-square Venus].

Neptune is a Musician. It interacts with Mercury and Venus to produce sweet music:

  09 Jan 2024 [Neptune Square Mercury]. Mercury is a Singer. Square = 90⁰.
  19 Jan 2024 [Neptune Square Venus]. Venus is a Dancer.
  31 Jan 2024 [Neptune Semi-square Sun]. The Sun makes the Musician active.
  12 Feb 2024 [Neptune Semi-square Mercury]
  28 Feb 2024 [Neptune Semi-square Venus].

Combine all these positive aspects, and we arrive at a rising stock market in Jan & Feb 2024.

Finally, examine heliocentric Mars-centered Ephemeris. The planets’ positions are those viewed from the Sun.

 
Saturn is in front of Mars. Mars moves forward to make a hard aspect with Saturn:
    02 Mar 2024 [Mars Semi-square Mars].

Earth behind Mars moves forwards to make a hard aspect with Mars:

   24 Feb 2024 [Mars Sesquare Earth].

These 2 aspects invigorate Mars, and they should mark the top of current rise in stocks – the top in end Feb 2024.

We’ll discuss the Collapsing stock market that follows (from end Feb to early June 2024) in the next Post.
