(21 September 2025) US stocks pushed to new all-time highs last week as the Fed interest rate cut fueled hopes for substantially lower borrowing costs in 2026. The gains corresponded with the Sun-Mercury opposition to Saturn and Neptune. As I suggested in last week's post, while seemingly bearish, these oppositions were less likely to be negative due to the wider alignment of Saturn-Neptune with Uranus and Pluto.
The planetary highlights this week include the aftermath of Sunday's partial solar eclipse at 4 Virgo (sidereal)/28 Virgo (tropical). This eclipse occurs exactly opposite Saturn and thus should be treated with some caution. Even with the supportive alignments from other planets, the Saturn influence cannot be fully discounted.
