Predictions for 2018?

[Deleted]

So, I am not sure if such a thread exists?
If anyone of you maybe looked at some major transits that will be happening in 2018?

What can you say will be the bigger changes/ predictions/events happening in the world in 2018?

Anything to look forward to? Might it be a more positive year ?

Is this normal? Every single planet has a retrograde period in 2018:

Pretty much... Mercury goes Rx 3 times a year. Everything from Mars out goes Rx when the sun goes from just past trine to opposition to just before trine (so every inconjunct to the sun is a planet Rx). That leaves Venus. It *can* go a year without going Rx but it's unusual.

*mind blown*

Though I don't perfectly understand.

"so every inconjunct to the sun is a planet Rx"

My Mars is quincunx/inconjunct my sun, and Mars is Rx. Is that typical?

Some of my favorite astrologers on Twitter were predicting another financial collapse.. Uranus into Taurus in May of 2018 was their reason for that. The last time Uranus was in Taurus, that signaled in the Great Depression (which effectively hits the world, not just the US). The Third Reich/Nazis also came to power during that time frame, which also heralds in World War II.

Dramatic, but hey. There's that classic saying, "the biggest predictor for future behavior is past behavior".

But let's also consider the following..

In the 1930's-1940s, while Uranus was in Taurus, Saturn was in Pisces.

Saturn doesn't excel in Pisces. However, Saturn is currently in it's home of Capricorn. So Saturn and Uranus will be working more strongly in harmony (trine) than they were previously (sextile) in the 1930's-1940's.

Neptune was also in Virgo in the 1930's-1940's. Neptune is in fall in Virgo.
But now Neptune is in Pisces, it's home. It will also be making supporting aspects to Uranus in Taurus and Saturn in Capricorn (its home).

So.. I really hope there isn't another financial crisis??? lol..

Jupiter was also in Sagittarius in the mid-1930's, but now we are free of fanatical Sagittarian philosophies after Pluto and Saturn's transit through it. Jupiter in Scorpio has proven to be an amazing floodlight on long hidden issues (sexual assault/power imbalance in certain industries), so maybe that will also be helpful in this era too.

Although I just realized Jupiter will enter Sagittarius on November 8th, 2018.. is that not when many of the senators in the US are up for re-election? So God willing good things will happen and its auspicious timing.
