NOTE: TO GET RID OF ANNOYING ADVERTISING; LEFT-CLICK ON LEFT SIDE OF SCREEN. Real-time planetary aspects (as opposed to transits to the natal horoscope) is used in this report. The interest rate analyzed with the real-time planetary transits applied is the Federal Reserve Effective Funds interest rate (and this rate is usually what "the little banks" [per above drawing] charge to their important banking customers). The Jupiter - Saturn cycle is well-known in financial astrology; much research on this cycle was done by astrologer Georgia Stathis. The presence of recessions is noted with a ~ 9.93 year Jupiter - Saturn cycle (that features Jupiter Conjunction Saturn, followed by Jupiter Opposition Saturn, and then followed back to Jupiter Conjunction Saturn). This 0 -180 degrees cycle is sometimes called "the battle of the titans" (since Jupiter and Saturn are our two largest planets). Recessions are shaded within the broken lines indicated below.

The chart below is the same chart from above. But the chart below reveals the three types of Saturn hard aspects (Conjunction, Opposition, and Square) applied to Jupiter and Neptune (and with these two types of planetary aspects [Saturn to Jupiter and Saturn to Neptune] taking place within 2.0 years of each other). Saturn applying to Pluto (1974 and 2020) may also be added to Saturn's representation of interest rate hike activity since these two aspects reveals another hard (but rare) type of Saturn aspect (and Pluto usually represents banking and long term finance).

FUTURE DATE TO WATCH FOR

Below is a chart that popped up in my research with Saturn forming aspects with Jupiter and Neptune within 2.0 years. Note the strong aspects of Saturn with Jupiter and Neptune are within one month of taking place.

Because this date (June 16, 2025) is close to the middle of the year 2025, it is fair to say that 2025 will be fair game for massive interest rate hikes taking place. You have been warned.

Thanks for reading.

Love to all,
