LEO
As discussed in Chapter 4 of our publication, “When to Buy and When to Sell: Combining Easy Indicators, Charts, and Financial Astrology”(available on Amazon), and our Sign Language – Introduction blog dated 3-24-24, the zodiacal signs are part of every individual and business birth charts, based on date and time of birth, incorporation, or first public trade date on an equity index.
As documented, the general/mundane zodiac begins with the sign of Aries (as the 1st house), and the houses then move counter-clockwise around the zodiac wheel, until they reach the 12th house, completing the cycle. Also noted is the fact that the 2nd, 5th, 8th, and 11th are the financially focused houses, though others can have minor influences. On our website will periodically discuss these energies regarding the mundane/general collective and the U.S. Stock Market first trade date chart.
Today’s focus is the sign of Leo, which resides in the 5th house of the zodiac (based on the Aries Rising chart). Leo is a fire, fixed, male sign, ruled by the powerful Sun. This sign represents the father, the self, pride, vitality, and fun. Leo is a major leadership (as it represents a company’s owner, CEO, or chairman) and amusement themed sign, symbolized by the Lion, the “king of the jungle,” which also signifies pride and courage. Whenever a specific sign “season” occurs, the Sun shines its energies and brings it to the forefront, and Leo “season” (when the Sun is traveling through the sign of Leo) runs from July 22 to August 22, in 2024. The Sun in its “home” sign in Leo, makes its energies even more powerful. This is a time of concentration, with world and major company leaders being in the spotlight.
Financial categories represented in the 5th house include one’s creativity and business development. The planet Venus (which represents money, fashion, and love) will be positioned in Leo from Jul 11 to August 4, 2024, as well, further bringing these themes to the forefront. The energies of Leo are expected to be very strong in its 2024 season. In the last week of Leo “season” two Jupiter aspects will occur, including a Mars-Jupiter conjunction in the sign of Gemini, on August 14, and the much-anticipated Jupiter-Saturn square on August 19, which is the first in a series of three in the current rotation. Volatility and uncertainty in the financial markets may occur, both globally, and in the United States.
Some sectors to watch for this Leo season as the Sun and Venus settle into the sign, include commodities (especially gold and silver), luxury items, and casinos/gambling.
Historically, this sign has mixed results in the markets. Each year can be slightly different, of course, depending on macro events and other planetary transits/aspects. The end of August is usually weak regarding the equity markets, leading into September, the worst performing month for stocks over the past several decades. Avoid “rushing in,” or giving in to FOMO (fear of missing out) regarding high-flying stocks, and possible extended stocks, when considering new long equity positions. If prices begin the breakdown and correct, waiting for better entry prices is advisable.
Finally, all birth/natal charts are unique, and every individual (or business) possesses its own set of planetary and sign positions in each house.
