Markets Face A Lower Mood Today As The Malefics Take The Wheel

2026-09-24

The market wakes up Thursday under a sky that tradition reads as clearly heavy. Mars and Saturn — the two planets classical astrology calls the malefics — are the ones setting the tone for the session, and when they run the chart, the historical read is lower across the board. Not a crash, not a panic: a session that leans down and stays down. The planetary weather on 2026-09-24 carries no major new event to shift the mood, which is exactly the point. This is a continuation session. The same pressure that shaped the prior reading is still in place, and tradition suggests roughly a 65-70% chance the broad market reflects that heaviness rather than fighting it. For anyone watching crypto and equities as one body, the message is simple: the sky is not offering relief today. It is offering more of the same — a market that grinds rather than rallies, where the bounces look convincing for an hour and then fade. Here is what that actually means, and why the reading continues.
