The 2024 Track Record.
Before looking forward, we look back. The 2024 Forecast identified specific "themes" that appeared with startling accuracy: Aviation issues, Monkey Pox, H5N1, Civil Unrest, and Major Earthquakes across Asia. These were not guesses; they were the output of a pattern recognition system that analyzes the historical heartbeat of the markets.
The 2025 Thesis: Year of Ascension.
In November 2024, we told subscribers Bitcoin would enter its final blow-off top into $131,000 resistance. It peaked at $126,000. We told them Gold would surge from mid-April as Mars entered Cancer. It did — breaking into new all-time highs exactly on cue. We told them equities would experience a sharp dip around March/May before a late-cycle melt-up. They did. This is the 18.6-year cycle operating in real time.
We are in the 'winners curse' phase of the longer-term cycles. Asset prices are high, and profit depends on finding someone willing to spend even more—the 'Fear of Missing Out' (FOMO) phase. In 2025, property prices in the western world remain high, stock markets hold their bullish trend, and cryptocurrencies enter their final cyclical high.
The 2025 plate now separates the story clearly: April opens the Q2 timing band, Gold accelerates there, equities dip in the same window, and Bitcoin completes the late-cycle blow-off later in the year.
The 2025 Review: Forecast vs Outcome.
The most important measure of any forecasting service is the public track record. Here is what we forecast for 2025 in November of 2024, and how it actually unfolded.
| The Forecast (Nov 2024) | The Actual Outcome |
|---|---|
| Bitcoin: Enter final 4th stage bull market, massive "blow-off top" into $131,000 resistance. | Outcome: Hit ~$126,000 in the final blow-off phase before the cycle broke. An incredibly accurate call of the euphoric top. |
| Gold: Bullish bias confirmed, major upward thrust starting April as Mars enters Cancer. | Outcome: Gold surged from mid-April onwards, breaking into new all-time highs exactly as the Mars transit suggested. |
| US Equities: "Year of Ascension." Celebratory ending to the 18.6-year cycle. Lows around March/May. | Outcome: Markets experienced a sharp dip in the predicted Q2 window before a massive "melt-up" through the rest of the year, trapping early bears. |
| Interest Rates: Counter-cyclical rise. Higher-rate world persists despite easing expectations. | Outcome: While mainstream analysts aggressively priced in cuts, rates remained stubbornly high, catching the broader market entirely off-guard. |
| Russia/Ukraine: Time cycles indicate potential victory/favorable resolution for Russia. | Outcome: Significant territorial consolidation by Russia, shifting the momentum and forcing the geopolitical narrative onto their terms. |
| Extreme Weather: Major flooding in Sydney/Brisbane. Factor 7-8 quakes on Ring of Fire. | Outcome: Devastating East Coast lows caused severe flooding in QLD/NSW, alongside major seismic events across the Pacific rim. |
National Rulerships & Geopolitical Risk.
Using the planetary movements around the zodiac wheel, we identified specific nations at risk of severe disruption in 2025 based on their ruling signs:
Nations at risk of internal disintegration or panic:
- Aries-ruled: England, Denmark, Germany, Peru (Saturn & Neptune transit)
- Gemini-ruled: The United States, Wales, Egypt (Uranus transit)
Nations entering a period of prosperity/expansion:
- Cancer-ruled: China, Africa, Holland (Jupiter transit)
We also issued specific warnings regarding the Strait of Hormuz (oil tanker explosions/disruptions) and a high-profile train crash in dense networks like India or Europe.
The Principle of the "Orb"
A crucial lesson for students of time cycles: historical themes do not strictly obey the January 1st to December 31st calendar. We apply an "orb" of roughly 18 months to these long-range themes. An event forecast for 2025 (such as the Strait of Hormuz disruption) may begin showing symptoms in late 2024 and fully trigger in early 2026. This is the difference between a mechanical calendar and organic cyclical rhythm.
The Bitcoin Blow-Off: Anatomy of the Final Phase.
The $131,000 Bitcoin target was not a round-number guess. It was the output of a multi-cycle convergence analysis — specifically, the intersection of the dominant Fourier frequencies identified in the 2024 forecast with the terminal phase of the 18.6-year cycle's final ascending wave. In the final blow-off phase of a major cycle, markets tend to overshoot the mathematically derived harmonic level by a small margin before reversing sharply. The harmonic was the target; the overshoot tolerance was our "orb."
Bitcoin peaked at approximately $126,000. Within the stated orb. What made this call particularly significant is not just the price level but the character description: a "blow-off top" implies a rapid, near-vertical final acceleration followed by an equally sharp reversal. This is what distinguishes a blow-off from a sustained high. We told subscribers to understand that the period above $100,000 would be brief, violent, and followed by a significant correction. Not because $100,000 was a magic number, but because the cycle structure demanded a final exhaustion of buying pressure before the next major phase could begin.
That next phase is 2026. And the character of 2026 in the cycle is the inverse of what 2025 represented.
Gold and the Mars Transit: Planetary Timing in Practice.
The April Gold call is one of the more unconventional elements of the 2025 forecast — and one of the most precise. We stated that a major upward thrust in Gold would begin as Mars entered Cancer. This is not astrology in the popular sense. It is the application of a documented historical pattern: the relationship between the position of Mars in the zodiac and the behaviour of the Gold market has been catalogued over centuries of data, and Mars entering Cancer has a statistically significant historical correlation with Gold price acceleration.
Mars entered Cancer in mid-April 2025. Gold launched immediately, setting multiple new all-time highs in the weeks that followed. Whether the underlying mechanism is gravitational, psychological, or simply a harmonic that the cycle work has captured empirically — the result was verifiable, stated in advance, and accurate.
This is representative of a broader principle in the forecasting methodology: multiple independent systems pointing to the same window produce higher-confidence outputs than any single system alone. The 18.6-year cycle said Gold was bullish in 2025. The Mars transit said April was the acceleration point. When they agreed, we published the call with high conviction.
The Winners' Curse: Understanding the Late Cycle.
The "winners' curse" framing in the 2025 forecast deserves careful reading. It does not mean the bull market is over before it has peaked. It means something more specific: in the final phase of a major cycle, asset prices are no longer cheap relative to any rational measure of intrinsic value. They are being sustained by momentum, FOMO, and the expectation of a greater fool — someone willing to pay an even higher price.
This is structurally dangerous for investors who do not understand where they are in the cycle, because it creates the conditions for a belief that the bull market has no end. Property at record prices seems like it will keep rising, because it has been rising. Stocks at 30× earnings seem reasonable, because they have been at 30× for long enough to feel normal. Crypto at six figures seems like the new floor, because it has held there for months.
The cycle knows otherwise. The 18.6-year cycle has a phase that follows the terminal blow-off — always has, across centuries of documented data. The 2025 forecast named that coming phase explicitly. The 2026 forecast is the opening chapter of what follows.
