Astrological Market and Global Trends Outlook: September 2025
By Barry Rosen
Global and Market Overview
The final days of August revealed cracks beneath the surface. On Friday, August 29th, stocks fell in thin holiday trading. Contributing factors included competition in AI chips from BABA and fresh geopolitical tension after Israeli airstrikes killed key leaders in Yemen.
Europe faces rising instability. Both England and France are reportedly exploring IMF bailout assistance. If this emerges in September, markets could be jolted. A cluster of complex astrological cycles between September 20 and 25 has historically correlated with international monetary crises—such as the Asian contagion of the late 1990s—that often spill over into the U.S.
This cycle includes:
- Sun opposing Saturn on the Sept. 21 lunar eclipse
- Sun opposing Neptune and trined by Uranus
- Mars quincunx Neptune and squaring Saturn
Such volatile patterns suggest that Europe is especially vulnerable this time.
War Cycles and Geopolitical Pressure
September carries heightened war signatures:
- Israel continues air campaigns in Yemen.
- Venezuela has mobilized 4.5 million soldiers, while U.S. naval forces head toward the region. Accusations of Maduro’s role in the drug trade add further tension.
- Europe edges toward deeper conflict. Whether Trump will sanction Russia remains uncertain, but disruption appears likely.
These developments could unsettle equities while boosting gold and pressuring cryptocurrencies. In addition, Europe’s financial fragility—and the potential dissolution of the French government—could weaken the euro relative to the U.S. dollar.
Looking ahead, the subsequent primary war cycles are expected to occur in mid-January 2026 and again in June 2026. Another vulnerable period emerges between October 17 and 31, 2025, during the Sun’s most profound debilitation in Libra, often associated with weak or erratic leadership.
Seasonal and Planetary Forecasts
October 2025
- Sun in late Libra: Lower vitality, health concerns, and depressive moods. Leaders may lean toward ego-driven power struggles.
- Venus in Virgo (Oct. 10 – Nov. 2): Deflationary influence, curbing consumer spending and pressuring November retail sales.
November 2025
- Mars enters Scorpio: Boosts vitality and favors Aries and Scorpio natives. Yet for the U.S. chart, this is a 12th house transit, often hindering recovery.
- Venus in Libra (Nov. 3 – 27): Restores balance, improves buying power, and smooths relationships.
- Mars combust (Nov. 6 – Mar. 26): Particularly tense mid-Dec–mid-Feb, bringing fatigue, adrenal strain, and potential war triggers—mainly as combustion occurs in Sagittarius and Capricorn.
- Mercury near Mars (Oct. – Nov. 16): Sparks quarrels and communication breakdowns, complicating peace negotiations.
- Saturn stationary (Nov. 20 – Dec. 6 at 0°): Amplifies Saturn’s heavy influence, particularly affecting the U.S. housing market.
December 2025
The holiday season offers some relief as Mars, Venus, and the Sun enter Sagittarius, lifting optimism. Yet Mars remains weakened by combustion, leaving irritability and fatigue under the surface.
The Stock Market Puzzle
The pressing question: When will the market break decisively?
- Cracks appeared late August, and historically, September leans lower.
- Cycles suggest weakness into Sept. 21–24, linked to international crisis signatures—possibly originating in Europe.
- Support levels: 6176 (futures minimum), with risk down to 5983 or even 5800 if geopolitical/European shocks erupt.
- One pattern suggests: drop to 6100 → bounce to 6304 → retest near 5800.
Despite near-term caution, a larger cycle high is expected to remain into January 2026. That could lead the S&P even to 7150.
Stock Highlights
- NVDA: Due for pullback to 157 or 143 despite long-term strength.
- Tesla: Risk if 314 breaks, potentially targeting 270; still, the stock often finds rescue rallies, and one could happen into Sept. 4-5t toward 370.
Bottom Line: Avoid chasing late-stage longs. Use rebounds to take partial profits while keeping the January 2026 cycle peak in mind.
Sector Outlook
Crude Oil & Energy
- Strong into early September under the Jupiter–Rahu trine (Sept. 4).
- Short-term: USO ETF may rise toward 78.50 before requiring a deeper pullback into November.
- Seasonal pattern: Sun in Libra weakens oil, but Sagittarius rising charts suggest renewed strength into winter heating demand.
- Long-term: Targets of 103–108 possible by next June. Historical precedent (Rahu in Aquarius 2006–2009) saw oil prices triple.
- Best ETF entry points: XOP at 116–120; XLE at 84.50. It may not be until October or even November.
Interest Rates
- One more year before a potential global financial reset.
- Jupiter leaves Gemini (June 2026), ending protection over the U.S. chart.
- Saturn–Neptune conjunction in Pisces and U.S. Rahu/Ketu dasha (2026) may trigger restructuring and debt chaos.
- September FOMC may lower rates, but longer-term cycles suggest skepticism about sustained cuts.
- Historical echo: 1907 crisis during Rahu/Venus dasha. A repeat is due around 2027, alongside Saturn’s move into Aries.
Metals: Gold & Silver
- Near-term: Higher into the week of Sept. 9 despite pullbacks the first week of September. Resistance near 3534; breakout could accelerate toward 4000 on geopolitical stress.
- November: Major gold cycle high as Mars enters Sagittarius (Nov. 8).
- Long-term: Cycles target 4900+ into 2027.
- Vehicles: GLD, SLV, GDX.
Cryptocurrencies: Bitcoin
- Confirmed peak at 112,000. Projected decline toward 100,000, possibly 80,000, into November.
- Mars–Mercury tension in Oct–Nov challenges the Bitcoin chart’s 12th house, suppressing recovery.
- Long-term bullish case: Potential 225,000 minimum; extreme projection of 1.18M possible by 2027, though speculative.
