New Moon in Aries, 2026 - Financial and Mundane astrology by Gabriella Mittelman

 Between April 17 to May 16, 2026

Planetary Shifts This Lunar Month: New Energies and Earth-to-Air TransitionsDuring this lunar month, several planets are changing signs, ushering in fresh energies and shifting the collective focus from fiery initiative to grounded stability—and soon, to dynamic air-sign innovation.Here are the key movements I’ve highlighted:
  • The Sun leaves exalted Aries and enters the earthy sign of Taurus ♉ (around April 19–20). Taurus season invites us to slow down, reconnect with our senses, and build lasting value. As the sign that rules agriculture, cattle, and natural resources (including commodities like cotton), this ingress often draws attention to related markets and futures. It may be worth keeping an eye on those sectors for potential stability or shifts in tangible assets.
  • Mercury also transitions from Aries ♈ into Taurus ♉, helping to dissolve the recent fiery stellium and strengthen an emerging earth emphasis. For the remainder of April, the Sun, Moon (at times), Mercury, and Venus cluster in Taurus, creating a supportive, practical vibe that favors steady progress, financial matters, and sensory enjoyment. Then, Venus moves from Taurus into Gemini ♊ (around April 23–24), lightening the energy and adding curiosity, adaptability, and social flair. These shifts could contribute to renewed momentum or rallies in the markets as focus turns toward practical results and flexible communication.
  • Mars remains strong in its home sign of Aries, sustaining drive, courage, and assertive action throughout much of the period.
  • Jupiter continues its supportive journey through Cancer ♋ (its sign of exaltation), expanding themes of emotional security, nurturing, home, and intuitive growth.
  • Saturn advances only about 3 degrees in Aries, maintaining a steady (if sometimes restrictive) influence on structure, responsibility, and long-term ambitions.
The most significant change on the horizon is Uranus entering Gemini ♊ (around April 25–26). Ruling innovation, rebellion, and sudden breakthroughs, Uranus will spend the next approximately 7–8 years in the sign of communication, transportation, short-distance travel, learning, and technology. This long-term transit could revolutionize how we connect, share information, and adapt to rapid changes—think advancements in AI, media, education, and networking. If you’ve been considering upskilling, now is an excellent time to explore short courses, especially in artificial intelligence or emerging tech!Neptune moves only about 1 degree (still in early Aries), while Pluto will station retrograde in Aquarius ♒ later in the season, turning our attention inward for deeper transformation around collective power, technology, and societal structures.

April 20, 2026 Monday
We start the week with an Exalted Moon in 🌛 Gemini; The Sun just entered Taurus, it rules the day and the other ruling planet is Neptune; Always, when Neptune pops up we have a CIT. 
It is now 9 am here, Asia trades most of them are green
Except for the NIkkei.. why is it falling ? 
My last post on it was on 2/26: 
EUROPE: the rest is up
New all times high: MIB, WIG20, TR20; the rest are below the last top. 
~~~~~~~~~
In Israel: 
BTC: returned to 4/14 levels... 
Forecasts for any of the indices, shares can be ordered. 
~~~~~~~~~~
TA35: trade range 4387-4417
TABANKS: above 8960 =rally
~~~~~~~
Sometimes, when I post a chart in Tropical planetary positions, people say, that it is incorrect and I should use Vedic chart. There is a big difference between the 2. 
I don't know all the rules in Vedic, so I don't use it, but everyone can do what fits his/her knowledge. 
This is the Vedic chart for today: it shows a stellium in Pisces (instead of Aries); but market wise, Venus is important, and here too, Venus is already in Taurus.

April 19, 2026 Sunday
Yesterday I read, that Iran closed the Strait of Hormuz again, vessels were shot at, and Pr. Trump said, they will have to bomb Iran again. So we are back to square 1. 
Today we have a Perigee Moon at 24 💪Taurus ( closest to Earth) therefore very strong. There is no trade, besides the cryptos
ZET is the best astrology software, as far as I know: it gives so many details! Here are the aspects with 1 deg. orb -  for today:
One can see up to 20 asteroids, MP, arabic parts, Fixed stars. etc. Today we have MArs-Saturn conjunction on their MP> also Moon 0^Venus- strong! 
But let's see the Crude oil: Investing.com: has this
the daily graph is clear: double bottom at 80.62; now it is supported by an inclining trend line, but, breaking that( if peace breaks out) then we will see lower levels. If trouble escalates in Iran ( I think it will), then using 84 as a stop it'll be a long. Targeting 89-92-95.

~~~~~~~~~~~~
BTC: broke above a long consolidation, but fell back. expecting a CIT on 4/21, 25.
Earnings this week: 
in Israel there is no trade on the 21, 22. 

~~~~~~~
If you look at the graph of aspects posted above, you can see, that the Moon will be VOC on 4.21; so anything that happens can be reversed. 



April 18, 2026 Saturday

After having a discussion in the Maurice Fernandez 's group, where King Leopold was mentioned, about his cruelty, I checked his chart to see what planetary positions made him such a person : here is his natal chart:


I can add , that his date of birth adds up to 30 ( a number ruled by Mars and Pluto) see how Mars from Cancer squares his Pluto ?
Also, he was born on a Thursday, a day ruled by Jupiter, which also rules rubber, for what, he murdered so many people in Congo under his reign.
from the list of all world leaders, that I have,I only found Bashar Assad, with the same Saturn 180 Pluto in his natal chart.


Next, I checked when were these planets active in the sky? Saturn 180 Pluto is the most rare, then Mars in Cancer and in square to Pluto, to see when will cruel people be born: do you know anyone who fits this pattern?

If I make a closer look of the dates:

1567, 8/31 ( Saturn in Virgo-Plu. in Pisces)
1599, 9/14 or around that date...( Saturn in Libra - Plu. in Aries)
1664,7/11 (Sat. Sag - 180 Plu.Gem; Mars 90^ Sat
1697, 5/19 ( Sat.Aqua -Plu Leo, Mars in Tau)
1733, 7/10 ( Sat.Ari - Plu Libra MArs Cancer)
1834 , 10/10 ( Sat.Lib- Plu Aries, Mars Can)
2002, 5/6 ( Sat +MArs stellium in Gem 180 Plu. in Sag)
2036, 5/21 ( Sat.Leo-Plu Aqua, Mars 0^ Ura in Can)
Now we should check who was born around those dates.
After questioning Grok: it came up with these:
Here’s a clear rundown of notable celebrities, military figures, and other prominent historical/ cultural figures born on or within ±10 days of your target dates (I widened the window slightly where records allowed, but stuck close). I focused on verifiable births from biographical sources. No exact or very close world leaders (heads of state/rulers) matched the precise dates or the specific Saturn-Pluto-Mars configurations you noted.I prioritized people with documented "ruthless," controlling, or power-oriented reputations where relevant to your original "cruelty aspects" interest (e.g., harsh leadership styles, military aggression, or controversial power use), but most are simply notable births. Pre-1800 records can be imprecise (Julian vs. Gregorian calendars), so ± a few days is common.1567, around August 31 (Saturn Virgo opp. Pluto Pisces)No exact matches on Aug 31, 1567.
Close/nearby in 1567: Date Masamune (Sep 5, 1567) — powerful Japanese daimyō (feudal lord) and warlord known for military conquests, diplomacy, and ruthless unification campaigns in the Sengoku period. Often called the "One-Eyed Dragon."
Other 1567 births include composer Claudio Monteverdi and saintly bishop Francis de Sales (Aug 21)—not "cruelty" figures. No major monarchs or heads of state.
1599, around September 14 (Saturn Libra opp. Pluto Aries)No exact Sep 14 match.
Nearby: Christian the Younger of Brunswick (Sep 20, 1599) — German Protestant military commander in the Thirty Years’ War. Known for aggressive, brutal campaigns and mercenary-style warfare.
Oliver Cromwell (Apr 25, 1599) — major English military and political leader (Lord Protector). Famous for ruthless parliamentary forces in the English Civil War, Irish campaigns (often described as brutal), and authoritarian rule. Too far from Sep for the exact aspect, but notable 1599 power figure.
Other: painter Diego Velázquez (Jun 6), architect Francesco Borromini (Sep 25).
1664, around July 11 (Saturn Sag opp. Pluto Gem; Mars sq. Saturn)No exact July 11, 1664 birth of note.
In 1664 overall: Mustafa II (born ~1664, exact date varies in sources but Ottoman Sultan 1695–1703) — ruler involved in wars and internal power struggles.
James Ogilvy, 4th Earl of Findlater (July 11 in some older records, though primary listings vary) — Scottish noble and politician.
No standout "cruel" military leaders on the exact day; the year has more deaths/events than famous births.
1697, around May 19 (Saturn Aqua opp. Pluto Leo; Mars in Taurus)No exact May 19, 1697 match for leaders/celebs.
In 1697: Anne Bonny (c. 1697, exact date unknown but often linked to March; some sources float May window) — infamous Irish pirate who fought fiercely alongside Calico Jack; known for bold, violent pirate life (cross-dressing, combat).
Charles VII, Holy Roman Emperor (actually 1697 in some contexts, but primary birth is Dec 1697) — later ruler with political/military entanglements.
Other notables: painter William Hogarth, journalist John Peter Zenger. No major world leaders on/near May 19.
1733, around July 10 (Saturn Ari opp. Pluto Libra; Mars Cancer)No exact July 10, 1733 births of major figures.
In July 1733: Mikhail Shcherbatov (Jul 22) — Russian writer, diplomat, and philosopher of the Enlightenment.
Broader 1733: chemist Joseph Priestley, politician George Read. No military rulers or "cruelty"-linked leaders on/near the date.
1834, around October 10 (Saturn Lib opp. Pluto Aries; Mars Cancer)Exact on Oct 10: Aleksis Kivi (Oct 10, 1834) — Finnish writer and poet, considered the father of modern Finnish literature (not a leader).
Nearby/1834 notables (no exact Oct 10 leaders):
Sculptor Frédéric Auguste Bartholdi (Aug 2; designer of Statue of Liberty).
Chemist Dmitri Mendeleev (Feb , painter Edgar Degas (Jul 19), entrepreneur Hetty Green (Nov 21, known as "Witch of Wall Street" for ruthless business tactics).
No heads of state or military commanders on/near Oct 10.
2002, around May 6 (Saturn + Mars stellium Gem opp. Pluto Sag)Exact on May 6, 2002: Angel Reese — American basketball player (WNBA star, known for competitive intensity and rebounding dominance).
Cole Palmer — English professional footballer (Chelsea and England national team).
~~~~~~~~~~
I must say, this pattern didn't include the 19th and 20th century cruellest people, like Stalin ( Mars in Cancer 120^- Sat in Pisc.), Hitler (Mars 0^ Venus in Taurus), Goebbels ( Venus - Jup in Libra - there dyes the harmony) Eichmann, Mengele and more.

The USA yesterday closed : with the bull run, as expected. If you read or followed my former article, I posted Gann targets 4/14 for the S&P.

This is what I posted: 
S&P" from the low of 4/7 at 4834, topped so far 298 days later at 7002 on 1/28/26; 
now here is an interesting calculation:take the low 4/7, add 357 and add it, we get the low of 3/30; at 6316.91; which is a price level on the Gann wheel.
The next Gann target from 4834 is 6973 - 6996 - 7019 ( this would be a new high) and that would point to a new ATH at 7066-7109 7114- 7259 -7309- 7512-7616 7687.
Below 6973 the down support is 6950-6927.
So long it topped at 7147.5 

Check out what I wrote in my previous article: to check the fear and greed index It climbed bron 56 to 68! I wrote that!! 

there is an open down ! 

in the IXIC as well: 

EUR/USD target 1.17! 

S5FI: 
so, based on the planetary positions, the trade range for the S&P on Monday is between 7115-39.
the CL fell, as forecasted, to 80.50, got a support on SMA50 and closed 82.59
