Horary 0030: Will One Bitcoin Be Worth $1 Million in 90 Days?
Overview
The querent asked, “Will one Bitcoin be worth $1 million in 90 days?”
Sensing an opportunity to win someone over who clearly didn’t give a shit about astrology, I decided to take an eager whack at it, not only demonstrating the obvious “no” but predicting much more about the price action than the querent had asked for.
I figured, what the hell, right?
Judgment
I assigned the price of Bitcoin to Mercury, ruler of the 10th house, as though one would ever have to wonder which planet signifies Bitcoin.
I described its place, angular in the private 4th house, emerging from the beams of the exalted Sun (but still afflicted), in mutual reception by domicile with Mars in the 7th for a least a moment longer, and applying to benefic Jupiter (the ascendant ruler, signifying the querent) as Bitcoin beginning to look like a buy to the querent.
I judged that the price would decrease over the period in question, but the buying opportunity would be short; when Mars leaves Gemini, it goes into fall, and Mercury loses that support by mutual reception, instead being ruled by a much nastier Mars. This depreciation of Mercury (the price of BTC) is good for the buyer, of course, but then the fortunes of Jupiter (the querent) himself begin to deteriorate as he goes under the beams of the Sun. If the querent missed this window, they would get burned.
Pushing ahead, I saw signs of a price increase, but I predicted it to be short-lived. Mercury’s ingress into Taurus would be supported by mutual exaltation with the Moon in Virgo and then by triplicity when the Moon enters Libra, then get one last boost of mutual reception — though without aspect — when Venus entered Gemini. But Mercury would only be a few degrees from their retrograde station by then and would remain retrograde for the rest of Venus’ transit through Gemini, unable to take advantage of that support.
I timed this run-up using the Sun’s application to Jupiter. The Jupiter cazimi would signify the brief flash of glory before Jupiter becomes combust again and any gains are wiped out. The conjunction would perfect in 18º in a cardinal sign and a succedent house (at 21º Aries, just past the 5th house cusp of the chart), which I determined to be about 18 weeks.
Outcome
(You’re going to have to forgive me, because I do not give a shit about Bitcoin to an extent FAR greater than this querent appeared (only at first!) to not give a shit about astrology, so my charts are terrible screenshots, and I cannot be bothered to make them better or more accurate.)
On the day of the horary, the price was $27,489.24. It had run up a little bit. No wonder the querent was thinking about buying.
It took a brief bump up from there but then dropped. Its lowest price of the period in question was 82 days after the horary.
Just after that, though, right at the 90-day mark, it took a bump up to nearly the high it had reached soon after the horary, but still rather a ways off from $1 million.
However, as predicted, that was not the high. The highest price of the entire period in question came at 110 days (about 16 weeks) after the horary.
Then it fell off again.
Analysis
I certainly would not recommend using horary astrology to time risky market moves. However, I would rate this attempt at it as rough but trade-able. All the moves are there. Anticipating those moves in sequence and allowing for the rough time estimates I always warn about when using horary for timing would have worked out. You know, a little bit. And ignoring it wouldn’t have. That said, if I get any serious predictive trading questions, I won’t take them. This is not financial advice, I would never risk my own money on this kind of prediction, and I won’t help you do it, either.
Obviously, I am going to get the question “Will one Bitcoin be worth $1 million in 90 days?” right without much trouble. But I was grateful for this question because it gave me the freedom to stretch my legs a little bit and try something dumb, and I’m pretty impressed by how well it worked!
Following this judgment — without even waiting for the outcome — the querent became a fanatically loyal repeat customer.
