Midterm Election Stock Market Pattern

 The Midterm Election Stock Market Pattern, plus astrology (and Why late 2026 through 2027 Could Be a Wild Ride)

Here's a stat worth knowing: since 1950, the S&P 500 has been higher one year after every single midterm election. That's 19 out of 19 times, with an average gain of about 15%. I checked it against the actual daily closes back to 1950, and it holds up. A normal year is up about 75% of the time and averages around 9 to 10%, so midterm years really do stand out.

The idea is simple. You buy the day before the midterm and hold for a year. But it's not a smooth ride. On average, the market fell almost 12% at some point during the midterm year before recovering, and 11 of the 19 years had a drop of 10% or more. The people who get hurt are the ones who panic and sell in the dip.

What the astrology adds to this stat. Only twice in those 19 midterms were Mercury and Venus both retrograde the day before the election, in 1954 and 1986. Those turned out to be the extremes. 1954 was the best year, up about 33%. 1986 was the worst, up only about 1.3%, because it ran straight into the October 1987 crash. Even then it still finished in profit.

The day of the '87 crash, Mercury had just stationed retrograde at 13° Scorpio and was conjunct Venus and Pluto in Scorpio. The Sun was opposite Jupiter ( growth culmination), and Mars was square Neptune.

Why it matters now. On November 2, 2026, Mercury and Venus are both retrograde again, with Mercury at 14° Scorpio, nearly the same degree. That's only the third time since 1950. Two examples isn't a rule, but so far the double retrograde has meant extremes over the next 12 months. The S&P's own chart also looks rough early, from November into February, and improves after Mars goes direct on April 1, 2027.

This is not investing or financial advice, but history says buy after the midterms and hold for the year. Just expect a bigger swing than usual this time, and don't let the dip shake you out. The big dip is a sweetspot, but the stats say the day before midterms, is always a winner 12 months later. Do what you will with that info, but odds go up for extreme year.

Charlie Kirk & Iryna Zanutska Astrology Insights

 

I really don't have it in me right now to make a video about this, or even write too much about it, and i definitely can't go into deep analysis at the moment (besides in my own head), but because i impulsively brought up this young woman's death in my recent weekly report, i feel compelled to at least briefly clarify a few things. Then today Charlie Kirk was assassinated. Both of these deaths have had a strong impact on me, and they will have ripple effects for the future of the USA. 

The terror on that woman's face right before she died hit me hard. Charlie Kirk's death was also not a pleasant thing to see.

 I do want to point out a few astrological things about these two people. I've been using astrology as a tool to research and try and understand the meaning of life and death for years. Some of you know, i used to be a firefighter/EMT in my younger days. I have literally saved people's lives, but i've also had people pass in front of me, and wasn't able to save them, including children. I've needed to know WHY tragic events like this happen. Astrology has shown me that there is karma for each and every person. Not the type of karma where someone cuts someone off on the road and then gets in a crash 10 minutes later. No, i'm talking about much bigger karma that goes beyond, connected to things long ago, not of this life. It takes emotional and spiritual maturity to accept this. No one on earth can tell what someone else's karma is. Even astrology can't tell us that, exactly. With that said, i believe everyone has a predetermined way of death ( I only research after the fact. I don't go into those realms for people in my astrology business). That is also hard for people to accept, but i've seen too many astrology charts that confirms it for me, even if i don't know all the details. 

That young woman did not deserve that brutal attack (neither did Kirk). It really pissed me off. It could have been anyone, and i would have felt the same way. The human and the father in me sees her killer as an ugly dirty evil piece of shit. It was disgusting that nobody helped her. I hate that the world is like this. And yet, the spiritual side of myself knows this has connections to something beyond this life, and for whatever reason was their fate. 

I also didn't want to get into her chart publicly because i don't want people looking at their own chart wondering if they have the same thing, or if their family members do. Even if you have one of the aspects, you don't have the full chart in the same way, so don't go there. 

This young woman (Iryna Zanutska ) was born with Gemini Saturn opposite Pluto in Sagittarius, wrapped around her Nodes of Fate. Pluto on the South Node and Saturn on the North Node. That's why i used the word karmic. 

Astrologically, that's as karmic as it gets. That same aspect of Saturn opposite Pluto in those signs resulted in 911 world trade center attack on the USA with over 3000 people killed. This young woman has a strong karmic connection to the USA chart, the same axis the USA has been attacked under. That same axis had transits when the USA was attacked by Japan, Dec 7 1941...

At the time of her death in August she had a once in lifetime transit Uranus on her sun in Gemini, indicating the shocking event. Again, i'm not going to go into deep astrology about it, just sharing the charts. The birth time is not included so don't use houses.

Charlie Kirk was born with Saturn in Aquarius square Pluto in Scorpio.  He also had the Gemini/Sag Nodes of Fate axis, showing his strong karmic connection to the USA as well. His Sun progressed to his Saturn/Pluto square this year. Today the moon was with Chiron opposite his Libra sun as transit Mars in opposition was on his sun, showing the trigger event

Both of these deaths are astrologically tied into the destiny of the USA. and have a higher purpose connected to them. Saturn is Karma in astrology.

We are also in eclipse season, plus the Nodes of Fate are being activated and this shows things that are happening now will have long term effects on the future.

That's about as much as i can get into now. 

Thanks for reading.

Trump's astrology luck on Sept 15 2024

The afternoon of Sunday Sept 15 2024 we had an Air Grand Trine in place with the moon, Venus and Jupiter - the two benefices connecting in support and cooperation with the circumstances of the day (the moon). It's not every day that Venus trines Jupiter, let alone the moon getting in on it. This is known as a positive aspect of support in astrology. It was especially beneficial for people that have planets or angles in Fire and Air signs from 20-22 degrees.

It just so happens Trump has his sun at 22 Gemini and his moon at 21 Sagittarius aligning perfectly with this Air grand Trine in place at the time of the 2nd assassination attempt. Trump's Nodes of Fate were also in this alignment, so the transits formed a Grand Air Trine/Kite to his chart. Trump had the support and protection from Venus and Jupiter (which reflects a higher power) shown by of the transits at that moment. Despite if you love Trump or hate him, the astrology of it all is extraordinary! It was a very critical day with Mars squaring the Nodes of Fate right before an eclipse. This event affects the long-term future.

Trump's natal chart naturally has some extra luck and opportunity in some areas of life because of his sun/Nodes/Uranus and moon getting support from his natal Jupiter, but especially this year with Transit Jupiter sitting on Trump's North Node of destiny and sun for the next few months, the first time in 12 years, aligned with his Moon as well. Trump has other not so easy transits at the same time, including Uranus sitting on his midheaven (career, reputation and public life point) for the first time in his life this year. This shows the ongoing twists and turns, shocks and surprises mostly in public life conflict because Uranus is also squaring his Mars this year. Hence two assassination attempts. It's a dangerous year for Trump (next couple years) so he should use extreme caution which is very obvious by now. Libra season coming up next tends to be easier on Trump than Virgo season, but it's eclipse season this time and Mars is not in a good place for him now through Oct. Vibes change bigtime in Nov.

I'm always very busy doing personal reports daily but i do want to make a vid soon about Harris's chart. Stay tuned, for that.

Biden's critical astrology transits 2024

 Biden's Astrology (for educational purposes)

One of the biggest astrological indications for what's been happening to Biden is that transit Saturn in Pisces went all the way to conjunct his IC/MC angle 4th house cusp and stationed retrograde June 29 , right after the presidential debate on June 27 , showing a reversal for Saturn (the state/establishment support). Saturn transit IC is an opposition to Biden's MC (career and public status/reputation). Saturn opp MC is usually not a supportive time for career and is more important time for home and family life. Saturn will fully transit his 4th house of home next year, showing a change and restructuring to home and family life. Plus the transit North Node is also pointing towards Biden's 4th house, along with eclipses. Transit Saturn in Pisces is ruled by Jupiter, which is in transit through Gemini Biden's 7th house of opponents and open enemies. So Saturn is answering to Jupiter in Gemini this year...Trump's sign.

We also see that Biden has two once in a lifetime difficult transits from Pluto and Uranus. Transit Uranus is moving through Biden's 6th house of health opposing his sun and Venus in Scorpio (health ruler). Biden's Venus health ruler is already debilitated, being activated by transit Uranus showing the health issues, which will get worse and changes to his daily work routine. Transit Uranus has been building up to this for a while...

Biden's moon is also being squared by transit Pluto, right where this full moon is showing he is not feeling very good. Biden's moon rules his 8th house of loss. This is a time where he has to surrender, he's not in control of everything. Hard Pluto transits show a time when things are outside of our control. It's intense power struggles and life changing transformations.

Those are the main factors in play.

Astrology June 25-July 1 2024 - Last qrt moon - Venus T-square Nodes - Saturn Station Rx - Venus sextile Mars - Mercury sextile Uranus

 

Mercury in Cancer trine Saturn slow in Pisces first part of the week offers a good intuitive understanding of serious matters. Generally emotional and mental maturity. Wise information and communications. Good mental control. It's only temporary but It's a good time to communicate with authority, especially if you need support and understanding or filling out a request or application. This aspect is exact on Wed June 26 but strong Tues - Thurs,

Venus is T-square the Nodes of Fate exact by Wed June 26. Relationships and or resources are at a fateful crossroads based on feelings, needs, safety, security, home and family, or property and real estate. Self-verses what other people need and want complicates the consideration. Long tern changes based on the activity with others and money can result.

Saturn Stations Retrograde exact June 29 but consider it all week.

 

Saturn was direct 0-19 degrees Pisces Nov 4 2023 - June 28 2024

Saturn is Rx 19-12 degrees June 29 - Nov 15 2024

Saturn goes direct at 12-29 degrees Pisces Nov 16 2024 - May 24 2025

Saturn is back at 19 degrees leaving Rx shadow moving forward into new territory by Feb 18 2025

Saturn Retrograde - reviewing work, structures, systems, commitments and responsibilities, limitations, rules, laws and regulations. Stress and pressures are heightened. Self-reflection on moving forward with certain decisions, work, projects, goals, ambitions and commitments. Questioning if what's causing you stress and pressure is worth it. Gov't processes, applications, approvals and decisions coming to a head, slowed. and or delayed. 

Starting new building projects or other major new work commitments are not as supported. Going back and working on/finishing what's already been in process since Nov 2024 is supported. Constriction, consolidation and elimination. Returning to an unfished problem, issue or concern. Updating skills and knowledge from behind the scenes. 

Pisces is a self-sacrificing, empathetic, sensitive sign. Saturn stationing Rx can show heightened sensitivity, feeling overwhelmed, hopeless, changes in mood and feelings, isolated and depressed. Some might feel pessimistic, wanting to retreat and escape, but feeling trapped, heavy, serious, burdened, etc. Some stagnation is possible, feeling like you're in limbo or procrastinating. 

Health issues; physical, emotional or spiritual could slow progress down. The need to reflect on finding healthy downtime, taking your rest and wellbeing more seriously. Understanding and accepting your restrictions, limitations and boundaries. Shoring up your personal boundaries. 

These issues will be playing out in your house (area of life) that has Pisces on the cusp, along with the opposite sign (Virgo). 

These issues could be especially strong if you have Pisces in the 1st, 4th, 7th or 10th house. Also, if you have a personal planet in your birth chart at 19 degrees of Pisces, Gemini, Virgo or Sagittarius. If you are age 29-30, 59-60 or 89-90 you are having your Saturn Return in Pisces. Therefore, Saturn stationing Rx could feel especially strong for you.

This week we enter the last Qrt moon phase where the moon has half its light - the crisis in consciousness phase, reflecting some emotional challenges, or with circumstances, especially around Friday June 28 -Sat June 29. The need to accept and integrate. Don't push too hard.

Venus and Mars reach their first major aspect (connection) since their conjunction (new cycle) in Aquarius back in late February 2024. The Masculine and Feminine has an opportunity to connect and cooperate in a new better way. Personal attractiveness, and pleasures are enhanced. Generally stronger sexual desires with more opportunity to connect to the other and feel satisfied. Although the connection is still young and not fully matured or fulfilled. 

This weekend Mercury will sextile Uranus showing the ability to think differently, outside of the box and more open minded. Possible unexpected news, information or communications which is beneficial.
