PLANET POWER
Uranus Direct
In this installment of “Planet Power,” we will discuss the planet Uranus, noted in Chapter 4 of our new publication “When to Buy and When to Sell;” Combining Easy Indicators, Charts, and Financial Astrology (available on Amazon).
Uranus is the third to last furthest planet from the Sun in our universe, changes zodiac signs approximately once every 7 years, and takes about 84 years to complete one rotation around the sun. This planet is known as “Great Disruptor,” and tends to represent sudden, unexpected events, including reversals in equities markets. Please review our Planet Power – Uranus blog, dated 4-6-24, for further details.
Some of the main traits and energies (including financial) attributed to Uranus include; innovation, surprise, and high intelligence. Sectors signified by Uranus include futuristic technology, electricity/utilities, AI, defense, space, and cryptocurrencies.
Uranus has been positioned in the sign of Taurus (an Earth sign, ruled by Venus, and symbolized by the Bull), since 2018-2019. Both Taurus and Venus signify positive money related matters, and the United States Stock Market has responded very positively. Sectors gaining during this time frame continued to be financially and technology-based, including AI, Cryptocurrency, other innovative technology, as the planet Jupiter (expansion and good fortune) also transited Taurus in the 2nd half of 2023 and 1st half of 2024.
A Uranus retrograde period, discussed in several weekly Fear & Greed Index blogs, which began in early September, 2024, will finally come to an end in a few days, on Thursday, January 30. During the retrograde period, as expected, despite the continuation of All-Time Highs in the U.S. markets, there were many large disruptive days, often met with another immediate reversal, especially in the heavily technology weighted Nasdaq index. A final instance of this occurred yesterday, Monday, January 27, 2024, when a sudden, unexpected report from China emerged regarding a reportedly much cheaper way to implement artificial intelligence. The report was incomplete, and vague, however it rocked the technology sector, especially chips stocks, showing just how volatile this industry can be.
Uranus will remain direct through the final months of its stay in Taurus, and the beginning of its transit into the sign of Gemini in early July. It will remain in that sign until May of 2033, save for a brief retrograde period back into Taurus from November 7, 2025 through April 25, 2026. The energies are somewhat similar for Uranus, as Gemini is an air sign, concentrated on communications, intelligence, knowledge, and futuristic technology.
Financial astrologers commonly believe that these same sectors, including AI, robotics, electric vehicle advances and cryptocurrencies, will continue to flourish during this planet’s stay in Gemini, although there will again be some bumps along the way with other transit energies. These include the Jupiter/Saturn “square” in mid-June, and both Neptune (illusion) and Saturn (restriction), moving into the sign of Aries. For traders, continue to be unemotional (as always), and avoid being too impulsive with your decisions, as the large swings will trigger tight price stops. For longer term investors, be aware of any major trend changes, and consider taking some profits off the table.
