The World in 2016 - Difficult Economic Times

The world will be experiencing tough economic times for most of 2016.

Jupiter and Saturn are the business planets of the Zodiac, involved with buying and selling of goods and they will be active this coming year.

On January 7, 2016 Jupiter turns retrograde and moves to form a square aspect with Saturn on March 23. This is the 2nd of a 3 pass. This is the waning square of the Synodic cycle between Jupiter and Saturn. That same week Mercury turns Retrograde on January 5 often signaling a change in trend in the world's financial indices. These two planets turning retrograde in the same week should see a change in trend in the markets.

The Jupiter-Saturn square aspect will be a prominent feature this year. The third and final Jupiter-Saturn square, the business planets, should result in slower business activity and lower profits. The last square is May 26, 2016.

On March 26, 2016 Saturn turns retrograde and moves to form a square aspect with Neptune on June 17, 2016. The third and final Saturn-Neptune square aspect is September 10, 2016. This aspect is often present near times when there is a change in trend for interest rates or inflation. It can also be a period of sickness, suffering, depression and money valuation problems. This could be a change in the world's reserve currency or issues around it. A large increase in precious metals is also possible as it is a money valuation issue. This 36 year aspect has been associated with political changes, reforms and development of socialism.

Saturn will be in Sagittarius , a mutable sign, all year. Many of the largest stock market losses have occurred while Saturn is in a mutable sign. Watch the times when aturn is in close aspect to other planets.

Jupiter is square Pluto November 24, 2016 and opposition Uranus December 26.

Throughout 2016 Uranus and Pluto remain within orb of a square aspect. Uranus rules technology and technology stocks. Pluto rules computers, crime, computer hackers and cyber crime. This aspect would fit with computer security and the rise of serious cyber attacks.

There are 3 Mars conjunctions in 2016. Mars is conjunct Saturn August 24, 2016; Mars is conjunct Pluto on October 19; and Mars is conjunct Neptune on January 1, 2017.

Jupiter square Saturn, Saturn square Neptune, Uranus square Pluto and the 3 Mars conjunctions should be the major influences on world affairs during 2016.

There are many other aspects and Astrological events like eclipses (the Solar eclipse of March 9th is particularly strong with potential big news with both Saturn and Pluto making angles to this important eclipse) with many aspects and retrogrades. These will be dealt with as we move ahead in time.

The 1st half of 2016 forecast dates are complete. This is included with the subscription along with a monthly Astrological report and ALERTS during the year pointing to time periods where there are good trading opportunities.
