Geopolitics and the Cycle of War
The conjunction of Venus and Jupiter in the 7th house of enemies usually represents an outburst of optimism regarding peace agreements and diplomacy. However, even if an agreement is reached under this influence, it is unlikely to last. Iran cannot be trusted to keep its promises, and Jupiter’s return to Cancer, Iran’s rising sign, will give the country the courage to pursue its own fanciful policies. There is no end to this turmoil for the time being, and a change of government is unlikely until November 2027, when Iran enters the Saturn period and Saturn rules the 6th and 7th houses.
Oil prices could fall toward 71.00 by mid-June on hopes of a deal, which could be the lowest price of the year. Still, supply issues and long-term geopolitical pressures should push oil prices higher over time, with a target near 155 by next year and an eventual 212. Crude oil prices will not rise significantly until April 2027.
It is still unclear when the US will lose patience and escalate military action. With Saturn sextile to Mars until July 19th, and Saturn turning retrograde on July 26th, things should get even more intense.

June overview
June begins with a strong change in tone, as Jupiter enters Cancer on June 1st and remains there until October 31st, 2026. In financial astrology, Jupiter in Cancer often emphasizes the emotional aspects of protection, food, shelter, homeland feelings, and markets. This is likely to place greater emphasis on domestic policy, consumer confidence, and security of supply. It should also support another push in house prices before Ketu moves into Cancer in late November 2026, causing further disruption to the sector.
The first week is mixed and shows signs of instability. While Saturn’s sextile to the Sun on June 2nd will have a temporary stabilizing influence, the Neptune-Uranus square on June 3rd can increase uncertainty, unexpected events, and volatility across currencies, stocks, and commodities. Helio-Jupiter trines Neptune on June 8th, and Venus conjuncts Jupiter on June 9th, which may soften the mood and support risk appetite, but the effects are often more wishful than concrete. This can often lead to short-term price increases. Geopolitically, this pattern may favor diplomacy and optimism, but it also reveals how easily markets can be misled by incomplete information and strategic ambiguity. Hopes for peace with Iran could emerge around June 8 and last about a week.
Sentiment will be more sharply tested mid-month as Saturn squares Mercury on June 10th, which could correlate with closer messaging, tense negotiations, transportation issues, and more difficult policy communications. The New Moon in Taurus on June 14th is especially important for material markets, as Taurus rules land, food, values, and resources. Therefore, this lunar light could be a turning point for grain, livestock, precious metals, and interest rate forecasts. There are often shortages of grains such as corn and wheat in mid-June, and winter wheat harvest pressure also adds to the deflationary atmosphere.
As the Sun enters Gemini on June 15th, attention shifts to trade, data flows, and short-term sentiment, while Venus and Neptune trine on June 16th, potentially increasing liquidity and speculative enthusiasm. However, Venus’ opposition to Pluto on June 17 intensifies power struggles, reputation issues, and hidden agendas.
The second half of the month becomes more strategic as Jupiter enters Pushya Nakshatra from June 18th to August 19th. Pusha Nakshatra is a constellation traditionally associated with nourishment, protection, and institutional support. Mars entering Taurus on June 20th may be supportive for real assets, but it also brings stubbornness, inflation sensitivity, and conflicts over resource management. Mercury entering Cancer on June 22nd will shift market thinking towards defensive themes, while Venus-Saturn trine on June 25th can bring structure to valuations and policy themes. At the same time, Neptune in the Sun warns of turmoil, propaganda, or disappointment in both markets and geopolitics. Geomobile Mercury in Cancer from June 25th to July 5th typically supports a significant increase in metals.
Helio Mars squares Jupiter and Pluto around July 1st, preceded by the full moon in Sagittarius on June 29th, which could create a particularly tough backdrop for headline risks, military developments, sanctions, legal rulings, and sudden movements in commodity and sovereign markets. Mercury retrograde at 2 Cancer on June 29 signals a reversal, revision, and renewed interest in homeland concerns, while Jupiter Helio, opposing Pluto on July 1, signals one of the more intense manifestations of power struggles, debt, centralization, and global financial leverage.
. Cancer and Taurus both emphasize food security, land, energy, supply chains, housing, and national protection, all of which are likely to remain central themes in market sentiment throughout the month. The most important practical point is that June favors a two-part market environment. It’s early optimism and positioning, followed by tensions, reversals, and strengthening geopolitical messages later in the month.
Stock market and financial cycle
The tech boom will not be stopped by Rahu in Aquarius in Shatavisha sign and Rahu will not leave the sign till August 1st. Jupiter in Cancer will continue to support over-optimism, with the S&P 8000 likely and the NQ 100 expected at 33,200. The gold rush phase, which typically occurs at the end of a major 10-year move, lasts another 30 to 45 days and can last until mid-July. With Jupiter opposing Pluto in mid-July and Saturn sextile Mars until July 19, the geopolitical tensions of Saturn retrograde should begin to crack the structure and initiate a reversal.
By August, another outbreak may occur as Jupiter will be in Ashlesha Nakshatra after August 19th. It could be Ebola, and we could see travel restrictions, economic uncertainty, and another drop in stock prices like we saw in 2020 all over again. Jupiter trine Saturn and Pluto in opposite signs reflects the turmoil of 2020, with Jupiter conjunct Saturn and Pluto in Capricorn.
In any case, a significant decline in the stock market is likely to develop during the Mars/Ketu/Jupiter conjunction on November 14th.
Outlook by sector
crude oil and energy
Technically, the market is signaling a breakdown and is forecasting 78.00 and 71.00 through mid-June based on treaty optimism. Still, the damage has been done, and anyone who thinks Iran will honor its commitments in any deal is probably dreaming. Oil stocks in the XLE ETF could reach lows near 52.00 by mid-June, creating a buying opportunity. Exxon and Chevron have said there will be major problems down the road even if the strait opens, and their forecasts are currently pointing to September. Crude oil prices are expected to rise towards 200.00 next year, creating significant stress on a fragile and highly indebted economy. Given its martyrdom mentality, Iran seems willing to take advantage of it.
interest rate
Interest rates could ease for about 1.5 months until mid-July, but probably not enough to make a big difference. Although there are some signs of a recession, the Fed is unlikely to cut interest rates while inflation remains high. As global debt grows, long-term pressure to raise interest rates will continue from late 2026 to May 2027. In particular, with Japanese government debt at levels not seen since 1997, and with little appetite for financing the US war effort, we are headed for an interest rate crisis.
metal
We remain positive on long-term gold. The bottom extremes are around 4,000 for gold and 66.60 for silver, and a low may be near. Metals tend to rise when oil and interest rates are low, so a short-term rebound for gold could reach $5,127 and silver to $92.00, but there is still potential for another low this summer. These markets change quickly, so please consider trying out the daily services listed below starting at 97.00 per month.
Gold and silver have already exceeded many expectations. The long-term cycle continues to support silver towards 148-155 this year and 225 next year, while gold could move towards 10,800 by 2028.
cryptocurrency
Bitcoin remains under pressure into early June, and recovery could take about a month. We expect cases to reach 99,000 by late June or mid-July, but there remain concerns that cases will decline further in October and November, perhaps towards 55,000 or 40,000. That could create the best long-term buying opportunity heading into 2027.
The long-term upside target remains around $225,000, but as the global economic reset and debt crisis unfolds, it could take until 2027-2028.
