The physical wobbling and oscillation of the Moon in its orbit around Earth and the Sun are caused by square angles and conjunctions in both longitude and declination relative to the Sun and Earth. Around solar and lunar eclipses, the Lunar Nodes exhibit rapid direct (speed above zero), retrograde (below zero), and near-standstill motions (at or very close to zero) (blue-shaded time frame), while financial markets commonly produce sentiment extremes and heightened volatility.
In addition to the phenomenon of eclipses, during a period of approximately ±2 weeks around the equinoxes—when Earth crosses the ecliptic from south to north (spring) and vice versa (fall)—geomagnetic activity tends to be relatively strong, though variable and highly unpredictable. During this time, solar emissions impact both hemispheres unevenly. This is when many astronomical and astrological indicators and signals may become distorted, inverted, or unreliable.
However, today is a Cosmic Cluster Day—the strongest this month—and yesterday, Mar 02 (Wed), the Sun passed a sensitive degree on the NYSE natal chart at 343° longitude (13° Pisces), a position associated with a potential high in the U.S. stock market. That said, average annual seasonality, as well as the bias in the decennial and presidential cycles, remains positive into the equinox and through the end of March.
