The Bitcoin Financial Astrology Forecast December 2013 Edition

DISCLAIMER: The author of the Bitcoin Financial Astrology Forecast & Reports is not a financial adviser. Planetary influences can manifest in a broad variety of ways, and the author makes no guarantees whatsoever of price swings, nor recommendations about investment decisions. This document is for informational purposes only. By utilizing this report, the reader agrees that all investment decisions are the sole responsibility of the individual investor.

How To Use This Forecast It is important to understand that every planet can express itself through a broad range of possible manifestations. It is useful to think of each planet as a distinct character, whose mood when interacting with other planets is highly influenced by the circumstances (angles or aspects) in which they meet. The aspects that will be covered in this forecast are as follows: Conjunctions (0) are when one planet crosses over another, combining energies and amplifying one another in the process. Conjunctions are important aspects that seed the next cycle between those two planets. Trines (120) and Sextiles (60) are smooth interactions where the planets blend their energies in a complementary way. Usually this is beneficial, with some exceptions. Quincunxes (150) are awkward interactions that exhibit evolutionary growing pains. Squares (90) and Oppositions (180) tend to be tense aspects that create distinct standoffs and action-oriented events. They are noteworthy and challenging,

though their effects are not always bad. In finance, they are often trigger-points for price movements in either direction. Each of the planetary aspects cited in this forecast will refer to a transiting planet first; that is, a planet in its current motion through the solar system. Second, it will refer to a planet in Bitcoins natal chart that the first planet is bringing its energies to bear upon. When noted, the second planet may be a transiting planet that is not necessarily linked with a particular point on Bitcoins chart, but may be creating a noteworthy influence nonetheless. When considering aspects, two scenarios are possible. The first is that the energy of the transiting planet will manifest as an external event, influence, government, person, etc. The second is that the transiting planet will express itself internally through Bitcoin, its exchanges, its protocol, its startups, community, etc. Forecasting not only requires considering all the possible expressions of each planet in aspect to another; but it then requires considering all of the influences of many overlapping aspects together. Each aspect will be in effect for a different period of time depending on the speed with which the first planet in the aspect moves. The closer the planet is to the sun, the faster it moves, and the shorter the length of its influence. This means that aspects from the Sun or Mercury are fleeting and in strong effect for only 13 days; aspects from Venus and Mars may be in strong effect for a week or more; aspects from Jupiter and Saturn tend to be in strong effect for weeks; aspects from Uranus can be strong for months; and aspects from Neptune and Pluto can be in strong effect for many months to 1-3 years. So, when looking at this forecast, consider the aspects from distant planets as having the strongest overarching effects, and aspects from inner planets as having relatively brief though noticeable short-term effects. The most significant planetary aspects for the month are highlighted in bold. Bitcoin is abbreviated as BTC.

Key Planetary Aspects to Bitcoins Natal Chart for December 2013 December 1 Venus trine BTC Saturn. Temporary consolidation, favoring stability. December 2 Sun Moon conjunction (New Moon) in 5th House trine ascendant. Should bring an upturn in prices.

December 3 Mercury sextile transiting Mars. May bring increased trading volume. December 4 Jupiter (transiting retrograde) trine BTC Uranus. Generally positive and expansive for a stretch of time before and afterwards. This aspect is a repeat from lateOctober, and was a main influence in the rapid price increase at that time. Because Jupiter is in retrograde this time, it may bring a somewhat more sober approach to growth, or revisitation of influences connected with the start of the latest rally in October. For instance, there may be questions around whether China will remain bullish on Bitcoin. While there could be temporary selling from China in the week before or after this transit, the long-term outlook for Bitcoin appears good in China. December 5 Mercury square BTC Venus. Mercury square aspects often bring a shortterm dip in prices or some tension in communications or trading. December 6 Mercury sextile BTC Mercury. A short-term influence bringing flowing communications, rapid trading, or positive news coverage. Mars trine BTC Jupiter. This influence could last for several days, potentially bringing a boost in prices, especially from new investors. December 7 Mercury trine BTC Moon. A short-term influence bringing positive communications. December 8 No major aspects today. Look to days before and after for influences. December 9 No major aspects today. Look to days before and after for influences. December 10 A big day with significant positive and negative aspects. Pay attention to the days surrounding December 10th as well. Jupiter retrograde square BTCs Midheaven. This is a repeat of the transit that occurred when the FBI shut down the Silk Road website. Jupiter generally symbolizes expansion but can also represent justice and the law. A hard aspect like a square indicates a clash, such as a legal crackdown on illicit Bitcoin commerce. With this aspect repeating, this time with Jupiter in retrograde, there could be a similar theme to the Silk Road shutdown resurfacing at this time. Alternately, there could be a different manifestation of a large entity or energy coming into a square-off with BTC commerce. With Jupiter involved, the outcome may be for the long-term benefit of Bitcoin. It could also connect with bringing something hidden out into the open.

Mars square BTC Pluto. Another indicator of aggressive action and potential conflict. With Mars in the 3rd House, there could be aggressive communications, or potential hacking. However, if channeled positively, this could represent a positive aggressive push related to Bitcoin. Mercury trine BTC Ascendant. Possible increased media attention or a flurry of trading. Sun trine BTC Midheaven. A short positive influence highlighting BTC commerce. Mercury trine transiting Uranus. A buzz of communications and speculation. December 11 Sun square BTC Uranus. A short-term hard aspect that may require problem solving or imply an attempt to regulate Bitcoin. December 12 Jupiter trine transiting Saturn, forming a grand trine with BTC Uranus. This is a very beneficial influence that should be felt for approximately 1-2 weeks before and after the 12th. It combines stability with expansion and optimism towards Bitcoin as an innovative technology. This influence could bring an expansion of Bitcoin through institutional investors. It may also help in stabilizing and expanding new Bitcoin startups or exchanges. December 13 Mars trine BTC Mercury. A possible increase in trading activity or news stories with individual pundits advocating for Bitcoin. Sun square BTC Saturn. A short-term influence implying possible challenges regarding government regulation or Bitcoin infrastructure. December 14 Sun square BTC Neptune. A short-term influence, bringing possible speculation around the bubble bursting or regulatory attention around black market activity. December 15 No major aspects today. Generally positive lunar aspects. Look to days before and after for influences. December 16 No major aspects today. Look to days before and after for influences. December 17 Uranus turns stationary direct at 835 Aries, in a trine to BTCs ascendant. Major outer planets turning retrograde or direct tend to release pent-up energy. When Jupiter turned retrograde on November 7th, it led to a large spike in buying for several days, until Mercury stationed direct on the 10th, leading to a sell-off.

In the stock market, Uranus stationing direct tends to lead to a drop off in the week before and after. With Uranus being the archetypal ruler of Bitcoin, and the station being in a positive aspect to Bitcoins ascendant, the results could be more positive. However, Uranus or Venus turning retrograde could release pent-up energy in the form of selling activity. Expect the unexpected during this timeframe. These influences in themselves should last for several days to a week in advance, and for about a week afterwards. Mercury square BTC Uranus. In relation to Uranus turning direct, can contribute to unexpected technical problems, hacking, and challenges with trading or communications. December 18 Uranus trine BTC Ascendant not exact. This has been a very important causal aspect in relation to both the April and current Bitcoin rallies. Uranus has been within 1 degree of a trine to Bitcoins ascendant since October 17th. Uranus correlates with revolutionary innovative technology and speculation, among other things. And in a trine aspect to Bitcoins ascendant it has been creating an extended period of very favorable attention for Bitcoin in relation to its potential as a financial instrument and investment opportunity. With Uranus turning direct at this degree, it draws out this aspect for a much longer period of time than usual. It will continue to be very strong within 1 degree of a trine to Bitcoins ascendant until February 12, 2014. From October to February is the height of this aspect, however it is in strong effect for an additional month on either side. How Uranus behaves in turning direct will be important. Its beneficial influence may be drawn out, or there may be a disruption in previous gains. This influence, while quite strong, must still be considered along with other aspects. In looking back over Bitcoins history we see this same aspect in full effect during the height of the April rally. It was exact on April 5th, 2013. Mercury square BTC Saturn. Trading or communications may be stifled. Exchanges could be bogged down. December 19 Mercury sextile BTC Neptune. Positive short-term aspect, could lead to communications about Bitcoin as the new global currency. December 20 Saturn trine BTCs Uranus. This aspect will be in strong affect for approximately two weeks before and after the 20th. A trine is an easy, flowing energy that is generally supportive, but with Saturn can go either way. Saturn slows things

down, can bring stability, and can also create constriction. This influence may bring stability to excessive speculation, in a way that is supportive for Bitcoin in the long-term. This influence could also represent something like positive news from government regulators that brings an upswing in prices. This window of December has several significant aspects within a few days, whose influences may be blending or alternately creating a rollercoaster of conflicting factors. December 21 Venus turns retrograde half a degree before BTCs Jupiter. Venus and Jupiter are both beneficial planets. Their conjunction is usually positive, however with Venus turning retrograde on BTCs Jupiter, the combination could go either way. There could be a price drop at this time. Alternately, since Venus will be sitting on BTCs Jupiter for a much longer period than normal, roughly from the middle to the end of December, it could also create an elongated period of growth. The third possibility is growth leading up to the 21st, followed by a dip, and a gradual return. Sun sextile BTC Venus. A short-term beneficial effect. Bitcoin in the news. A possible increase in investments, barring upsets from Venus retrograde. Sun enters Capricorn. This will bring a focus on business and institutions for the next month. Bitcoin has four planets in Capricorn and the Sun brings success. Bitcoin has five more important planets and points in the next sign, Aquarius, and the first degree of Pisces. Thus, each year from December 20th February 20th the sun highlights Bitcoin with positive attention and beneficial influences. December 22 Sun conjunct BTC Pluto. A brief influence that could be positive or negative. May highlight the power of Bitcoin, or shine light on the shadows of Bitcoin. December 23 No major aspects today. Look to days before and after for influence. December 24 Mercury sextile BTC Venus. A short-term positive influence that could lead to a rise in buying. Sun sextile transiting Neptune. General optimism and altruism supporting other positive aspects at this time. Mercury enters Capricorn. This can bring an increased pace to Bitcoin trading and a rise in news stories through January 12th. Especially active for the next week.

December 25 Transiting Mars opposing transiting Uranus, trine/sextile BTCs ascendant. This could potentially lead to a burst of positive speculation. Perhaps Bitcoin Christmas gifts create curious new investors. Mercury conjunct BTC Pluto. Influence can be positive or negative. May bring an increase in communications around Bitcoins power or its shadow aspects. Trading could see a short term surge either up or down. However, with BTC Venus in a positive aspect to BTC Pluto, the effect is more likely to be a quick upward burst. December 26 Mercury sextile transiting Neptune. Trading or communications fueled by idealism. December 27 Sun conjunct transiting Mercury conjunct BTC Mars, square BTC Moon. Strong short-term influence. Expect aggressive trading, communications, or power plays. A good chance of price moves. Events could stir the Bitcoin community, creating a day of anxiety or excitement. December 28 No major aspects today. Look to days before and after for influences. December 29 Mercury square transiting Uranus. A short-term influence bringing anxiety, unexpected communications, potential technical glitches, and impulsive trading. December 30 Sun square transiting Uranus in quincunx to BTC Ascendant. A shortterm influence that may highlight technical flaws or growing pains in the system. December 31 Mercury conjunct transiting Pluto near transiting Sun, in a T-square to transiting Mars and Uranus, within 2 degrees of BTC Sun. From December 30th January 4rd, the Sun, Pluto, and Mercury will be transiting together within 2 degrees of Bitcoins Sun. This is a powerful time. This influence could lead to very powerful people making strong statements about Bitcoin, major price moves, unexpected attacks, important global events or political declarations affecting Bitcoin prices, and a strong focus of attention on Bitcoin. This aspect will usher in the New Year with a bang! Welcome to 2014!
