False signals

I have been observing the markets and the constellations on a daily basis since 1999. These days Mercury will be from 21.4. until 15.5. declining again. The phases with Mercury retrograde represent false signals in the markets, no matter in which asset class.

In everyday life you will observe again and again how a Mercury retrograde causes appointments to fall through, things turn out unpredictably differently than planned, someone perhaps retracts his statement and does not keep his word, or it simply comes to misunderstandings.

In the markets, one observes a phase of indecision in most cases, characterized by ongoing false signals, so that, on balance, there was a volatile movement in the indices, but neither the bulls nor the bears were able to prevail. However, the day traders usually lose at this stage because their stops are picked up.

AstroPointer Bull and Bear

Personally, I have gotten into the habit of not paying attention to the market at this stage and staying away from it. The forecasts I made under a Mercury retrograde were also often communicated at the wrong moment, wrong in principle, or correct but miscommunicated.

Lies and tricks have short legs

A Mercury retrograde is a trickster par excellence. If we ourselves have a Mercury retrograde in our radix, we usually have to learn in the course of life that there are no shortcuts and tricks. No one is smarter and has a longer memory than the lords of karma.

Mercury retrograde tempts us to act or talk at the wrong time, or to fall back into old patterns of action that we thought we had overcome long ago. For the umpteenth time, one was equally stupid.
In the market, it is the false signals that lead to being fooled again and again and ultimately burning money instead of better not to deal with trading (Mercury) at all.

Intuition

My advice to people with Mercury retrograde in their horoscope is always that they must learn to listen to their intuition and feeling rather than their intellect. The mind must serve our soul, never the other way around. Without love, knowledge is misused and leads astray.

The trader who parasitizes

The trader (Mercury) and astrologer (Uranus/Neptune) knows that the stock exchange floor is the arena of the devils, in which the dukes among these are the market makers. Either you side with the winners, or you’re one of the losers.
The basic rule of these market makers is that they always try to act in such a way that they gain maximum power and profit for themselves. Therefore, the market does not behave rationally, but emotionally or influenced by the stars.

The plans and intentions of the market makers are also influenced by the astrological quality of time, but they are the ones who have the power to determine the timing and direction of when to pick again under a Mercury retrograde, so that one false signal follows the next. Everyone is being tricked, the bulls as well as the bears.

Whoever understands how malicious people act, who have the power to influence the markets and is an astrologer at the same time, has the best chances to succeed at the stock exchange, by seeing through the plans of the market makers and swimming along like a “freeloader at the whale”. So then the dark forces work for him when he succeeds in this. This philosophy is considered by the winged Hermes (Mercury), who rules the markets, to be quite morally defensible. Hermes, the messenger of the gods and a magician, who travels in both worlds in the service of Zeus (Jupiter).
