Zodiac Signs / Planets in Financial Astrology
Raymond Merriman
In the study of astrology, their are four basic principles involved in analysis:
the planets, the signs of the zodiac, the houses of the horoscope, and the
aspects between planets. The planets are the most important factor in
understanding the study of astrology. Besides the fact that it is the planets
that comprise the makeup of an any aspect, it is also the relationship of the
planets to the signs of the zodiac, and houses of the horoscope, that provide
the groundwork for much of the delineation.
Just as the planets orbit around the Sun (and Earth, from a geocentric
perspective) against the background of the constellation signs, so too do the
planets represent the foreground of life experiences, against the background
of our environment and attitudes, symbolized by the signs and houses. In
other words, in the study of astrology, planets represent the activities of life -
the behavior of the person and the events he/she tends to encounter - while
the signs represent the background - or arena - in which those activities
unfold. In a sense, the signs modify the activities signified by the planets.
They also describe the environment, or arena of life, in which the events of
life unfold.
This is also true in the field of financial astrology. The planets can indicate
the activity of the financial community, such as buying, selling, low volume,
high volume, volatility, or congestion. But the signs of the zodiac, in which
those planets appear, tend to describe which categories (arenas of life) of
markets that are likely to be effected. Perhaps in the field of equities (the
stock market) is this concept most useful. Jupiter, for instance, represents
inflation, growth, and increase. Whatever sign it is transiting through can
point to an area of the financial community -- or stock sector -- which may
either increase in price (stock) or supply (commodity). The opposite would
be true of the sign Saturn transits through. Sectors represented by that sign
may be vulnerable to a price decline, and commodities ruled by that sign
might find a tightening of their supplies.
The following is intended to provide the reader with a sense of the
psychological dynamics ascribed to the signs of the zodiac, as well as their
correspondence to various sectors of the stock market.
Aries
(1): The key psychological principles of Aries include independence,
assertiveness (aggression), and the drive to initiate. Its nature is energetic,
impulsive, and competitive. It tends to foster an environment of quick and
perhaps instinctive action. In world affairs (Mundane Astrology), or an a
personal level, it may engage it tough rhetoric, anger, hostility, and disputes
when negative.
When planets are transiting through Aries, markets tend to pick up in trading
activity. Volume typically increases. Aries may have a correspondence to
defense, sports, and steel companies in terms of the stock market.
* Note: the word "transiting" means "position of planets on that day." For
instance if you were looking at the position of the planets today, you could
refer to them as "today's transits." If you were to refer to a time when
"planets are transiting Aries," you would mean a day in which planets are in
the sign of Aries.
Taurus
(2) : The key psychological principles of Taurus include security,
possessiveness, retention, and appreciation. Its nature tends towards caution
and conservatism. It will tend to hold onto something rather than sell it. It is
more likely to relate to investments than to trading. It also tends towards
resistance to change.
When planets transit through Taurus, markets tend to be in congestion. The
financial community is not apt to act rashly, but rather conservatively. If
prices were to break below support or above resistance, a sense of panic
could emerge because of the "security" issue of Taurus. Otherwise volume
tends to be stable and market prices orderly. Stocks ruled by Taurus include
banks, financial institutions and investment management, holding companies,
packaging, and containers.
Gemini
(3): The key psychological concepts of Gemini include
intellectualization, displacement, projection, and love of variety. Its nature is
to seek knowledge, and then to relate (communicate) that information. It will
also attempt to rationalize or explain things in a manner that makes it appear
objective or "out of the loop" (it doesn't like being blamed). It represents a
love of learning, and oftentimes finds it difficult to focus on one thought or
project at a time (easily distracted).
When planets transit through Gemini, financial markets tend to be volatile
and given to short, sharp price swings ("whip-saws"). Stocks ruled by Gemini
include the automotive, diversified operations, communications,
telecommunications, telephones, newspapers, magazines, media and books,
and transports categories.
Cancer
(4) : The key psychological principles of Cancer include nurturing,
caring, dependency, and loyalty. It tends to be family-oriented, seeking close
intimate relationships that can be provided in a family setting. It is also
protective of others. When attacked in any way, it can become very defensive
and easily hurt. Its nature is very emotional and sensitive, and it seeks
comfort.
When planets transit through Cancer, markets players may tend to react
emotional and out of loyalty. Thus they are not prone to sell, much like when
planets transit through Taurus. Interestingly enough, though, if markets break
through support or resistance areas in either Taurus or Cancer, participants
tend to get frightened (fear), and large price movements (especially declines)
can and do happen here. Stocks sectors related to Cancer include agricultural
operations, residential building, foods, motels, hotels, restaurants,
supermarkets, household appliances, furniture, real estate development, home
furnishings, utility water supplies, and dairy.
Leo
(5): The key psychological principles include creativity, leadership,
immaturity, and recognition-hunger. Its nature is to seek attention. However
it is also enthusiastic, affectionate and fun-loving, like a child.
When planets transit through Leo, a great deal of attention tends to be
spotlighted on a specific target (stock sector).
It brings flamboyant personalities to the fore - usually in a favorable light.
Stock sectors that may coincide with the sign of Leo include children's toys,
gaming companies, games and hobbies, recreation, gambling, entertainment
industry, and gold mining.
Virgo
(6): The key psychological concepts and attitudes related to Virgo
include focus on detail, perfectionism, critical, helpful, and compulsive. The
nature of the Virgo influence is to spotlight the small details. It can be very
critical, in a constructive or "picky" way. It is cautious and logical, skillful
and talented, like to help others but oftentimes is pessimistic and fearful
about the future. It is also concerned about appearances and hygiene.
When planets transit through Virgo, many financial markets tend to suffer
price declines (fear). Oftentimes they will find a bottom during these periods,
especially in stocks (oftentimes a high in precious metals). Stock sectors
related to Virgo include health care services, health maintenance
organizations, office supplies, soap and cleaning products, maintenance and
service, engineering, graphics, design, cereals, flours and grains, employment
agencies.
Libra
(7): The key psychological concepts and attitudes related to Libra
include sharing, relating, agreement, mediation, and acceptance-hunger. Its
nature is to seek balance and moderation, peace and harmony. In this regard,
it tends to see the opposite side of an issue that may be presented with a bias
to only one side. It is compliant and agreeable, preferring to maintain a state
of equilibrium as opposed to forcing an issue that may result in divisiveness.
Libra also strives for beauty, both in its surroundings and its person.
When planets transit through Libra, financial markets tend to trade in a
"trading range," or a somewhat wide congestion area. If stocks are moving up
as planets go into Libra, they will usually correct during (and sometimes
following) the transit into Libra. Stock sectors related to Libra include
accounting, cosmetics, fashion, jewelry, apparel, sugar and refining, and law.
Scorpio
(8): The key psychological concepts and attitudes include reform,
intensity. obsession, and power-hunger. The nature of Scorpio is to change
things, hopefully to improve, but oftentimes the result is to destroy or
terminate. There is a sense of "threat" or "crisis" present with Scorpio.
Scorpio digs and probes, researches and investigates, until it finds the cause
or source. To those it is probing oftentimes comes a terse threat to "get out,"
or rejection. If it is successful in its ventures, a sense of mastery comes about
from the insight gleaned during the research.
When planets transit through Scorpio, there is oftentimes a "Wall of Worry"
for financial markets to climb over. Frequently there is a world crisis in force
that affects various financial markets. This is usually negative for equities
and bonds (also a fear of default present). There could also be a threat to
various food supplies in the world - fear of ruination caused by nature, but
sometimes man-made (terrorism). Stock sectors related to Scorpio include
any financial lending institution, like banks, savings and loans, etc. Also
relates to brokerage houses, oil and gas drilling, waste management, pollution
control services, fertilizers, funeral services, coal mining, medical and
surgical supplies, and insurance companies.
Sagittarius
(9): The key psychological concepts and attitudes include hope,
exaggeration, freedom, space, and indulgence. The nature of Sagittarius is to
expand and see things in a bigger light. It is very risk-oriented, tending
greatly towards optimism and betterment of the present. It has a large degree
of happiness potential which lends itself to charity and generosity. It
represents quantity as opposed to quality. At its worst, it over-estimates and
causes large losses.
When planets transit through Sagittarius, markets are given to large price
fluctuations. "Blow-offs" are frequent here, where the value of something
becomes grossly exaggerated. Much profit (or loss) can be encountered when
planets transit Sagittarius, depending upon one's ability to capture the large
move and get out in time, for surely the reversal will be large too. Stock
sectors related to Sagittarius include travel (airlines), export-import,
publishing, sports, religious and educational materials, and school supplies. It
also deals with holding companies who are heavily invested throughout the
world.
