This week, we note that the Mars retrograde will move out of emotional Cancer and into more volatile Gemini on Monday, December 31. Mars will be in direct opposition to Pluto on January 2. Mars rules impulsiveness and Pluto rules passion. Both could drive market madly in one direction.
In the case of markets forming a top at this time, traders may want to concentrate on the Venus-Saturn square of Sunday, January 6. When Saturn coincides with a depression in values, that depression oftentimes lifts when the aspect separates. Venus rules values, such as stocks. But it also rules sugar, soybeans, copper, and currencies. Overall it indicates a depressive outlook.
In conclusion, we are in middle of Mars opposition to Pluto, Jupiter and Sun. January 2 could be a volatile day.
