Solar System Geometry Forecast (Feb 23 - Mar 4, 2026) | Frank Hoogerbeets

 Immediate Events:
February 23: Initial Geometric Convergence: SUN-VEN-NEP align, followed by SUN-VEN-SAT.
February 24: Lunar Criticality: Tight convergence of lunar geometry involving MAR and URA, likely triggering earthquakes in high 5 to 6 magnitude range.
February 25: Seismic Peak Window: SUN-MER-JUP align, potential for larger seismic events (±1 day).
 High-Alert Window:
February 27–28: Major Electromagnetic Peak: Secondary, intense convergence of MAR-URA-JUP grouping, followed by VEN-MER-EAR alignment.
February 28: "Planetary Parade:" visual alignment of six planets (MER, VEN, SAT, NEP, URA, JUP)
.
March 1: High-Magnitude Risk: Seismic response from Feb 27/28 geometry peaks. First of two "worst-case" windows where magnitude 8 event possible.
 Full Moon & Total Lunar Eclipse Convergence:
March 2: MAR geometric connector between JUP and URA. Combined with MER-SUN-MAR alignment, seismic response in magnitude 6 range expected.
March 3: Total Lunar Eclipse & Full "Blood Moon" at 11:33 UTC: Aligns with MER-VEN-NEP conjunctions, creating massive geometric cluster.
March 4–5: Final Seismic Peak: Following eclipse and MER-VEN-SAT alignment, final activity burst expected. Second high-risk window for magnitude 7 or 8 earthquakes, depending on crustal stress levels.

Frank Hoogerbeets' Solar System Geometry Survey (SSGEOS) operates on the hypothesis that specific geometric angles (i.e. 0°, 45°, 90° and 135°) and alignments between planets, the Moon, and the Sun exert electromagnetic and gravitational stress on Earth’s tectonic plates to trigger major earthquakes. Its primary purpose is to provide a global earthquake forecasting system by identifying high-risk time windows through the Solar System Geometry Index (SSGI), a proprietary mathematical tool that monitors planetary conjunctions and lunar positions. The methodology treats the solar system as a massive electromagnetic generator where celestial bodies act as magnets and the Sun as an armature, creating harmonic resonances that destabilize Earth's crustal equilibrium. This remains unrecognized by the mainstream scientific community, which maintains that planetary forces are too weak to influence terrestrial seismicity and that earthquakes cannot be predicted with temporal precision.

3-Step Guide to Market Timing via Astro Cycles | Bradley F. Cowan

If you have ever been curious about how planetary cycles can be used to forecast market trends, but gave up after looking at the astrology books, you are not alone. All those strange symbols and terminology like orbs, houses, rulerships, and transits can be very intimidating. And most people do not want to spend years getting a PhD in Astrology to find a reliable indicator of trend duration.

Figure 1: DJIA Weekly Performance Relative to 30° Heliocentric Saturn-Uranus Movements.
Commencing from the June 13, 1949, major market low.

Like most traders using astro techniques, I started with the classical approach, but soon discovered that by applying a few simple rules you can forecast the timing of market turns quite accurately without needing to know all the details of astrology textbooks. Simply stated, all you need to do is follow a 3-step process:
 
1. Find a clearly identifiable top or bottom on a chart. 
2. Find locations of planets on that date. (Software does this for you.
3. Make time projections by adding multiples of 30 degrees to locations in (2). (Software does this for you.) 

Where this technique differs from classical Astrology is that I do not care what the angles between the planets are at the tops or bottoms, just the distance they travel between two turning points. Classical Astrology tells us to expect changes when two planets are at certain predefined angles of separation. Traditionally, these are 30, 45, 60, 90, 120, and 180 degrees. But it seemed a bit arrogant to me to be telling God that he should do something on our schedule. So I looked instead at what the market was telling us, at where the planets are at the tops and bottoms and use THAT angle as our starting point, regardless of its value.

It's really a simple process that I have successfully applied to my trading for more than 20 years. As an example, we will look at a compressed weekly chart of the DJIA from 1949 to 1975, shown in Figure 1. Applying the 3-step process:

Step 1: Find a major bottom or top. Anytime after 1950 the bottom in 1949 [June 13, 1949] would have been easy to identify as a major bottom, so that will be used as our starting point.
Step 2: Find the locations of the planets at the date in Step 1 [On June 13, 1949, Saturn was at 156.72° and Uranus at 90.62° heliocentric ecliptic longitude, placing them 66.10° apart.] A book called an ephemeris can be used to find the locations of the planets, or there are several software programs that will do the same much faster. All calculations, projections, and charts in this article were made using the software CycleTimer. Because this is a long-term weekly chart, the major cycles will correspond with the 3 slower moving outer planets Jupiter, Saturn, and Uranus. If we were working with a daily chart then the faster inner planets, Mars, Venus, Mercury would be used. Experience has taught that most markets have a strong cycle closely correlated with the heliocentric (viewed from the sun) movement of Saturn relative to Uranus. CycleTimer shows that at the bottom in 1949 the location of Saturn was 66 degrees from Uranus, so that is the cycle origin from which our future cycle dates are projected.
Step 3: Add 30, 60, 90, etc. degrees to the location in Step 2 (66 degrees). Adding 30-degree increments to 66 produces 96, 126, 156, etc. [see table below]. CycleTimer calculates and plots in Figure 1 the dates that Saturn and Uranus were separated by these angles. Six instances of this cycle are shown, or a full 180 degrees. You can see that this cycle closely corresponded with major bottoms at every instance.

Classical Astrological techniques do not identify this cycle because it does not coincide with their predefined angles of 60, 90, 120, and 150 degrees. To improve the probability that your cycles projected into the future are accurate, be sure that at least three instances have occurred in your historical data, not including the starting point. If you have less than three occurrences of the cycle move your starting point back in time until you have at least three. And more importantly, be sure that you have no more than one or two "false positives", that is, a cycle that arrives with no significant trend change. If you follow these rules you will have a high probability that your projected cycle dates will be correct and you can expect a reversal of trend very near that date.

 
Figure 2.A:  90-Degrees heliocentric movements of Mars relative to Uranus in DJIA (weekly bars).
 
Figure 2 shows an example of how I used this 3-step technique to make a real-time forecast in October 2001 for a trend reversal in February 8. Part A (above) is a copy of the chart I posted on the discussion group at HarmonicTiming.com in October 2001 and is available in their archives. Part B (below) shows how the forecast turned out. This cycle uses heliocentric 90-degree movements of Mars relative to Uranus. 
 
Figure 2.B: Daily chart shows the forecast based on Mars-Uranus cycle was accurate to the day.
  
Following the 3-step process and using a cycle start date at the low of November 1997, produces a cycle where all eight recurrences coincided with significant market turns. Therefore, there was a high probability that the next recurrence in the future would also mark a turn. Figure 2.B shows what happened. On February 8 the DJIA bottomed and began an advance of 1100 points, or 11%, in one month. This is another cycle that classical Astrologers would have missed because the angles between Mars and Uranus for this cycle are 7, 83, 173 degrees, which are not any of the classical predefined angles.

Nesting Cycles Amplify Their Net Effect
When you gain more experience using this technique you will be able to watch more than one cycle at a time, which makes sense because there are more than two planets in the Solar System. These multiple cycles can either interfere with each other if they arrive at different times, or reinforce each other if they arrive at the same time. If two or more cycles bottom closely together (nest) they reinforce each other and their net effect is amplified. This results in a sharp panicky sell off followed by a quick recovery producing a "V" or "trauma" bottom.
 
Figure 3: Two cycles arriving simultaneously allowed this forecast to be made one year in advance.
 
Figure 3 shows how I used the technique of nesting cycles to accurately forecast almost one year in advance the June-July 2002 sell off and bottom in stocks. This chart was also posted in the discussion group at HarmonicTiming.com in October 2001 and is available in their archives. To keep the technique simple the cycle start dates were taken out of the textbook Four-Dimensional Stock Market Structures And Cycles and extrapolated into the future using CycleTimer software. The entire projection process took less than one minute.

The Saturn-Uranus cycle we studied earlier during the 1949-1975 period is again used with the origin set at the major low of November 1994. The second cycle is another that has historically produced reliable results, the movement of Jupiter relative to Uranus, or the Jupiter-Uranus cycle. The crash low of October 1987 was used for the origin of the Jupiter-Uranus cycle because it has produced a cycle that has repeated dependably for the last 15 years. When CycleTimer projected these two cycles into the future it showed them nesting (arriving at the same time) in late June-July producing a warning that this was a very high-risk time. The position trader would liquidate any remaining long positions he had before this high-risk time arrived and wait out the storm [...].

Works For Daytrading Too
Daytraders can use the same 3-step technique on intraday data. The major difference between intraday timing and end-of-day is that intraday uses the rotation of the Earth instead of the orbits of the planets. This increases the complexity a little bit because you not only want to watch the smaller cycles but the larger ones as well. A few small cycles arriving intraday will not affect the market much if it is in a strong trend caused by a large cycle. So work with the larger cycles first before moving into intraday. Future articles will focus on intraday timing techniques [which were never published].

The Venus-Stats | Jack Gillen

The planet Venus has an eight-year cycle when the Earth and Venus align at the Sun Zodiac degree. [...] The eight-year cycle of Venus has an effect on the Dow Jones Industrial Averages falling in the 70-100 percent accuracy that I call the Venus-line. The Venus-line means having four or more consecutive weekly patterns, and if the pattern is RED we know the trend is up, and if the pattern is GREEN we know the trend is down.
 
 » Each trading week is marked by R for (RED) and G for (GREEN). The GREEN indicates that
the week should end on the down side, and RED indicates that it should end on the up side. «
Tables 4.5–4.7: The Venus Degree Line (2015–2026); Tables 4.9–4.11: The Venus Degree Line (2027–2038).
 
[...] In the above tables you have the Venus-line until the year 2050, and each trading week is marked by the R for (RED) and G for (GREEN). The GREEN indicates that the week should end on the down side, and RED indicates that it should end on the up side. This is taken from the five-days in the week and based on the degree of Venus. Meaning, how many of those days will be up and how many of those days will be down.
 
Quoted from:
Jack Gillen (2002) - Astro-Stats for the New York Stock Exchange. (No online copy found.) 
 
(13×224.701 days=2,921.1 days) nearly equal 8 Earth years (8×365.256 days=2,922.0 days).
 
For 2026, Gillen’s tables (4.5 through 4.7) present a mixed pattern, with approximately 60% of weeks marked RED (bullish) and 40% GREEN (bearish). This suggests a volatile but ultimately positive outlook for the DJIA, with the potential for net gains by year-end.
 
However, given that an 8-year cyclical Venus influence exists, trends in 2026 should be expected to at least roughly mirror those from eight-year offsets, such as 2010, or 2018. But does such a premise even hold water? Is it yet another single-cause approach lacking a convincing roadmap? Consult the chart below to find out.
 
DJIA daily closes 1994, 2002, 2010, 2018, and 2026 (normalized prices: Jan 1 = 100).
The gold line tracks 2018; the dashed purple line is the composite average; the thick black one is 2026.

2026 US Stock Market Forecast Based on Jack Gillen's Principles

Since the 1960s, Jack Gillen (1930–2017), an American pioneering astro-financial analyst and trader, developed a market-forecasting framework based on astrological statistics derived from over a century of DJIA data. The Gillen methodology is anchored in the NYSE natal chart (May 17, 1792, 8:52 AM, New York), where a Taurus Sun and Cancer Ascendant dictate the market's fundamental sensitivity to lunar, Saturnian, and other planetary cycles. 
 
Table 1: 2026 Key Events, Periods, and Implications.
Saturn's ingress into Pisces allegedly responsible for January 2026 metals crash.
  
His 1979 seminal work, 'The Key to Speculation on the New York Stock Exchange,' established the technical framework for planetary aspects, cycles, sensitive degrees, and sector-specific zodiac influences. This was further quantified in 'Astro Stats for the New York Stock Exchange' (2002), where Gillen introduced accuracy-rated "stats" for astrological and astronomical events, and market trends, specifically identifying mutable sign transits as bearish indicators and cardinal transits as signals of structural restriction.
 
Gillen's forecasts relied on planetary cycles: Saturn (29.5 years, restrictions), Jupiter (12 years, expansions), Uranus (explosive volatility), and Mercury retrogrades (confusion, 85% post-direct recovery. Moon transits through mutable signs (Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius, Pisces) signal downturns, with Virgo most critical. The January effect is a 80% reliable annual indicator, while the year-end rally (December 24–31) also has 80% accuracy for gains. Sensitive degrees for the Sun and Moon trigger daily reversals, and sign transits influence sectors. Panics tie to Saturn in mutable or cardinal signs, with 59–60-year cycles. 
 
Panic cycles identify Saturn’s transits through cardinal or mutable signs as primary volatility windows, particularly when amplified by the 58- to 60-year Jupiter-Saturn alignment cycle. Early 2026’s Saturn in Pisces directly mirrors historical mutable-sign panics, such as the 1907 Pisces-Saturn crash. This setup is triggered by the February 20 Saturn-Neptune conjunction, marking a period of structural disillusionment, and is followed by the July 20 Jupiter-Pluto opposition, a classic signature for systemic inflation or geopolitical conflict.
 
Key Astrological Influences for 2026
■    2026 begins with Saturn in Pisces until February 13, a mutable placement associated with panics and gold price drops, echoing cycles in 1907 and 1966. Saturn's ingress into Aries shifts to cardinal initiative, but its retrograde (July 26–December 10) may delay recoveries. 
■    Jupiter in Cancer until June 30 supports domestic sectors, transitioning to Leo for entertainment and gold expansions. 
■    Uranus ingresses Gemini on April 25, introducing tech volatility. 
■    Neptune's Aries ingress (January 26) and conjunction with Saturn (February 20) foster structural dissolution. 
■    Pluto in Aquarius facilitates reforms via sextile to Saturn (March 28), but opposes Jupiter (July 20), risking overexpansion.
■    Mercury retrogrades introduce confusion: February 26–March 20 (Pisces), June 29–July 23 (Cancer–Leo), October 24–November 13 (Scorpio). 
■    Lunar eclipses in mutable signs (March 3 in Virgo, August 28 in Pisces) amplify downside risks.
■   The January effect, based on early performance, indicates an 80% chance of a positive annual close. From December 31, 2025 (48,063.29) to February 4, 2026 (49,501.30), the DJIA gained 3.0%, supported by Capricorn Sun stats (60.27% higher closes).
Table 2: Sensitive Degrees of the Sun and approximate 2026 Dates.
 
Table 3: Sensitive Degrees of the Moon

Table 4: Zodiac Signs and Affected Products/Industries.

2026 Forecast
Based on Gillen's astrological assumptions, principles, and statistics, the 2026 US stock market is projected to experience a corrective bear phase with a potential 25% drawdown in the DJIA during the first three quarters, targeting levels between 37,000 and 40,000 from the early-year high near 50,000, followed by a recovery in the fourth quarter aiming for 46,000 to 47,000 by year-end. 
 
This sequence aligns with historical patterns of mutable sign transits and eclipses signaling downturns, transitioning to expansive influences later in the year. The forecast, as of February 4, 2026, incorporates the positive January effect (80% accuracy for an upward annual close) but anticipates volatility due to ongoing mutable warnings and retrogrades. The sequence of events unfolds chronologically as follows (see also Table 1):

■    From January 1 to February 13, Saturn's transit in Pisces heightens the risk of market panics and gold price declines, consistent with mutable sign downturns. This period may see initial stability eroded by deceptive trends following Neptune's ingress into Aries on January 26, potentially affecting sectors like energy and military industries. Sensitive Sun degrees in Capricorn (e.g., positive at 6° on December 28, 2025, extending into early January) could provide minor uptrends, but negative Moon degrees in Pisces (9°, 28°) during lunar transits may trigger short-term pullbacks.

■    On February 13, Saturn enters Aries, marking a shift toward structural initiatives, though this is tempered by the annular Solar Eclipse in Aquarius on February 17, which could introduce innovative disruptions in aerospace and electronics. The Saturn-Neptune conjunction on February 20 at 0° Aries is expected to exacerbate economic uncertainty, fostering illusions or dissolutions in market structures. Mercury's retrograde from February 26 to March 20 in Pisces amplifies confusion, with an 85% likelihood of higher closes post-direct on March 20. During this retrograde, sensitive Moon degrees in Pisces (negative at 9°, 28°) may coincide with downside moves.

■    The total Lunar Eclipse on March 3 at 12° Virgo signals critical adjustments in service and health sectors, aligning with Virgo's mutable warning as the most severe for declines. Saturn's sextile to Pluto on March 28 supports controlled financial restructuring, potentially stabilizing after the eclipse. Sensitive Sun degrees in Aries (positive at 4° around March 25 and 11° around April 1) may offer brief uptrends, while negative degrees (18° around April 8, 24° around April 14) could mark reversal points downward. This initiates the broader drawdown phase through March to August, driven by mutable influences.

■    In April, Uranus' ingress into Gemini on April 25 introduces explosive volatility in communications and technology sectors, exacerbating the corrective trend. Sensitive Sun degrees in Taurus (negative at 6° around April 27) may signal early-month weakness.

■    June to July sees Mercury retrograde from June 29 to July 23 across Cancer and Leo, prompting reviews of secure investments amid potential emotional market swings. Jupiter's entry into Leo on June 30 initiates bullish expansions in entertainment and gold, but the opposition to Pluto on July 20 risks speculative overexpansion and power struggles. Saturn's retrograde beginning July 26 through December 10 in Aries delays initiatives, testing resilience. Sensitive Sun degrees in Cancer (negative at 13° around July 4 and 28° around July 23) align with this period's potential highs turning downward.

■    August features the total Solar Eclipse on August 12 at 20° Leo, a major turning point potentially amplifying expansions or crashes, followed by the partial Lunar Eclipse on August 28 at 4° Pisces, heightening deceptive risks in mutable signs. Sensitive Sun degrees in Leo (positive at 6° around July 30, extending influence) and Virgo (negative at 10° around August 24) may indicate volatility peaks.

■    The recovery phase begins in the fourth quarter, with Mercury retrograde from October 24 to November 13 in Scorpio focusing on financial scrutiny, but post-direct recovery often explodes upward. Sensitive Sun degrees in Scorpio (positive at 11° around November 3) support this shift. The year-end rally from December 24 to 31, with 80% accuracy for gains, is bolstered by positive Sun degrees in Capricorn (6° around December 28), leading to the projected close near 46,000–47,000.

Throughout, sensitive degrees of the Sun and Moon, as well as Moon transits from Virgo to Pisces provide short-term strategies (see also HERE), while sector impacts follow sign transits, such as Aries favoring military stocks post-February 13 (see Table 4).

2026 Moon-Stats | Jack Gillen

The Moon by itself in any particular sign or eclipse doesn’t fit into the 70-100 percent accuracy but there are some patterns that do. They are the Mutable signs of Gemini, Pisces, Sagittarius, and Virgo. These are your four warning signs for the market to move to the down side, and the sign of Virgo is the most critical.
 
 Virgo to Pisces Moon Cycle 2019 - 2026.
 
Virgo to Pisces = Go Long | Pisces to Virgo = Go Short
 
[...] There is a Moon statistic that falls into the 70 - 100 percent group but is closer to the 70 percent group, and that’s the Moon’s transit from Virgo to Pisces. Therefore, if you are looking to go long with a stock it’s best to start during this period [...] If you have a stock you want to short, your best chance would be from the sign of Pisces to Virgo. How you determine this would be from the tables of your exit date going long, and this would be the starting date for going short, and the starting date for going long would be the exit date on the short.
