Forecast 2025 Scorecard- As of August 1, 2025
August 8, 2025
FORECAST 2025 SCORECARD AS OF August 1, 2025
Although 2025 is not yet over, several forecasts made in the Forecast 2025 Book have already unfolded. We will list a few of the forecasts below as of August 1, 2025. Keep in mind these forecasts were written in October-November 2024, and published December 2024, well before 2025 got underway! As far as market sectors go, 2025 was another excellent year for forecasting. Particularly accurate were the Stock, Currencies, Precious Metals, and Bitcoin markets. This is remarkable when you consider market patterns change during the year, necessitating revisions or modifications of these forecasts throughout the year, as provided by MMA’s Monthly and Weekly reports. Still, the general time bands for reversals, and the yearly trends stayed consistent. The pre-sale event for Forecast 2026 is now happening!
ECONOMIC AND MARKET FORECASTS FOR 2025 (written August – November 2024)
Importance of Jupiter square Saturn/Neptune June 9-19, 2025 (Page 11): The very first section of the book, titled Brief Notice to Investors and Traders in 2025 stated, “In 2025, our focus will be on the transit of Jupiter moving into early Cancer … on June 9, forming an exact square with Saturn on June 15 and then Neptune on June 18-19.”
Result: The June 15-19 period was remarkably close to the surprise U.S. strikes on Iranian nuclear sites on June 22, well within orb of this most important geocosmic setup in 2025.
The U.S. Stock Market and DJIA (Page 80-86): “The third and final 50-week cycle low will next be due March 31-November 21, 2025. This will coincide with a 3-year cycle, too… Our view, as stated above, is that there will be at least one 10% or greater decline in 2025, but probably not any to exceed 25%… The ideal price range for this crest (of the 3-year cycle) is approximately 44,000-51,000 in the DJIA.”
Result: The DJIA high of the year so far has been 45,074 on January 31, a double top to the all-time high of 45,071 reached on December 4, 2024. The low of the year was the mini-panic crash into April 7, when the DJIA plunged to 37,611, a decline of 20%. The high of the year has been in the given price range. The decline to the 3-yesar cycle low was in the given price range. And the timing was also in the given time band for both the 50-week and 3-year cycle lows.
Gold (Page 89): “… the next best time for the 31-month cycle crest to form would be April 2025 +/- 1 month… If Gold becomes really explosive these next 2 years, then we can’t rule out rallies to $3350 +/- 365 and/or $3743 +/- 411.”
Result: As of this writing (August 1, 2025), Gold has indeed made an all-time high of $3509 on April 22, 2025 (a CRD given for all markets in 2025 was April 18-21), which is in the overlap of the price ranges given, and right in the time band given of April +/- 1 month for a high. In early August, the December contract for Gold went even higher.
Silver (Page 97): “At the time of writing this report (November 2024), we are still in the orb of the 4-year trough… We may see prices making a half-cycle correction to the region of 27.96 +/- 1.68… Once the low is in, the next price target is 38.39 +/- 2.07, and if we close above this, the following target is 43.86 +/- 2.72.”
Result: The low of the year was on April 7, 2025 at 27.55 This was followed by an impressive rally and so far the high has been 39.91 on July 23, 2025 (one of the CRDs given for Gold/Silver was July 18-21) which is within the price target ranges given for the low and high.
T-Notes (Page 104): “The ideal period for a 6-year, 29-month, and 9-15-month cycle crest is between April and October 2025… Assuming T-Notes are in a newer 6-year cycle from October 2023, another retest of the 114/25-116/20 range is in the cards for 2025.”
Result: As of this writing, T-Notes have rallied to a high of 114/25 on April 7, 2025. This was within three trading days of the April 10 CRD given in the book for T-Notes.
U.S. Dollar (Page 107): “…the expectation is that the second 14-month cycle should peak out [November 8, 2024-January 17, 2025]… Price-wise… we obtain a price target range of 104.62-110.24… Once the crest is in, the prices should decline to the second 14-month cycle low, projected to happen between June 2025-April 2026.”
Result: The U.S. Dollar topped out at 109.96 on January 13, 2025. It then fell to a low of 96.16, as of this writing, on June 30.
Euro (Page 118): “The Euro should thus be heading towards a 15-month cycle low, anticipated with its 5-month orb to unfold sometimes between July 2024-May 2025. When we overlap with the time target for the 32-month cycle low, we obtain November 2024-May 2025, as the most probable time band for the forthcoming combined 8-year, 32-month and 15-month cycle low.”
Result: The low of the year was 1.0132 on February 3, just two trading days after the January 30 CRD given for currencies in the book.
Swiss Franc (Page 122): “The first planetary placement that stands out is the SNB’s natal Venus at 29 degrees of Taurus. Venus rules currencies. Transiting Uranus conjunct Venus (in Taurus) is a classical currency boom or bust signature. Thus, we have the geocosmic catalyst here for the Swiss Franc to potentially collapse as low as 1.0200 +/- .0100 in 2025… (or) in the event it’s a newer 8.25-year cycle from May 1, 2024, we could see the Swiss Franc explode higher in value and potentially rally as high as 1.2750 +/- .0150 in 2025. This scenario is supported by the political cycle as well. Uranus will hit the 29-degree mark of Taurus in June 2025.”
Result: The Swiss Franc made its yearly low at 1.0923 on February 3, just two trading days after the January 31 CRD given in the book. It then soared to a high of 1.2823, as of this writing, on July 1, just four trading days before another CRD given in the book.
Bitcoin (Page 130): “These studies indicate that Bitcoin may achieve a high of significance by March 2025, and then decline 25-50% into an 11- and 16-month cycle low within two months of June 2025… The price target for a crest is … 107,769 +/- 10,890. However, with Bitcoin, there is no telling how high it could climb if it exceeds 120,000.”
Result: Bitcoin started the year with a new all-time high of 109,071 on January 20. It then declined onto the 16-month cycle low on April 7 at 74,449, a loss of 31.75%. The high, low, and percent of decline fit all the parameters given. It then soared to a new all-time high, as this being written, of 123,153 on July 14.
EXAMPLES OF MUNDANE WORLD AND NATIONAL FORECASTS MADE IN FORECAST 2024
Seasons:
Winter (Page 157) – “On the one hand, there is a strong urge to reform and make sweeping and vast changes in the government, especially concerning its finances. On the other hand, another prong of the government’s attention is the urge to completely sweep out dissenters or those who challenge the government’s authority as “enlightened leaders… many people directly or indirectly connected to the government may find their roles terminated.”
Result: Donald Trump was inaugurated on January 20 and immediately began vast reforms, including DOGE, which focused on financial cutbacks and reducing the nation’s budget deficit. This included firing those who did not agree with the president’s policies, or offering financial settlements to retire (quit) to large numbers of government employees.
Winter cont. (Page 157) – “This is an aspect of “the bully.” And since it is in the 9th house of foreign nations, there may be a foreign nation that is labeled as a “bully” or labels the U.S. as a “bully,” and this results in threats of conflict, even war.”
Result: The “war” was in finances as Trump threatened – and then enacted – huge tariffs on many nations (including its allies) who felt coerced, as if in being “bullied,” by the U.S.
Winter cont. (Page 158) – “With Mars… in the 9th house of foreign nations and immigrants, there may also begin efforts of mass deportations or a massive reform of border controls. In the ninth house, it can be associated with borders, immigration issues, and universities (places of learning).”
Result: One of Trump’s first acts was to begin immigration efforts to reduce the numbers of illegal aliens entering the country. It has worked as illegal crossings have been reduced sharply. He also demanded mass deportations of illegal immigrants already residing in the U.S., with the order to deport 3000 per day, which has caused angry protests. At the same time, he began cutting federal funds to major universities, such as Harvard and Columbia, who did not conform to his demands involving hiring and curriculum matters.
Winter cont. (Page 159) – “It appears that some leaders are not willing to break from their hardened views. They still want revenge.”
Result: Despite claiming that “success will be my revenge,” President Trump directed both the Attorney General and the director of the FBI to start legal efforts against his enemies who he believed undermined his first term. That “revenge” directive continues as this is being written and now includes efforts to find former President Barack Obama. For FBI Director James Comer, and former CIA Director John Brennan, culpable of treason for trying to prevent Trump’s first-term presidency from getting off the ground due to allegedly false claims of Russian interference.
Spring (Page 161) – “Efforts are afoot to reverse policies regarding the nation’s finances. It is like the leaders want to wipe out everything economically or financially that has been put in place previously and start over again with no obligations or encumbrances from the past.”
Result: On April 2, President Trump announced “Liberation Day,” a time when the U.S. would impose new tariffs on nations exporting their goods to the U.S., thus breaking with decades of treaties based on trade policies. When he announced what the tariffs would be at this time, stock markets around the world went into shock and crashed (“mini-panic”). They later recovered and soared to new all-time highs, which Trump claimed would happen at the time (i.e., there might be some pain initially from the tariffs followed by great gains, which was correct).
Spring cont. (Page 164) – “As spring comes to an end, new conflicts may arise that test the wish for stability and peace suggested by the sign placements of Venus, Mercury, and Jupiter. From June 15 through June 19, the aggressive, war-like Mars will square Uranus, a planet of destruction and surprises.”
Result: Israel launched surprise attacks on key military and nuclear facilities in Iran on June 13, 2025. On June 22, the United States Air Force and Navy joined Israel and attacked three Iranian nuclear facilities: Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan.
U.S. Credit Rating Downgrade (Page 165): “Beyond that, is the nation’s debt expanding too fast, and is it possible its credit rating is about to be downgraded?”
Result: On May 16, 2025, Moody’s downgraded the United States’ credit rating, making it the last major rating agency to strip the United States of its AAA rating. (www.csis.org).
Techno and Communications Renaissance (Page 37): “Uranus in Gemini is strong [especially regarding the technology renaissance underway]… But when its aspects to Pluto (trine) as well as Saturn and Neptune (sextile) are considered, it offers an even more promising picture of the future … Technology will grow with Uranus in Gemini, but with Saturn in sextile, it will not grow at a speed or in a direction of use that threatens survival or well-being without first implementing safeguards to protect humans.”
Result: Despite the fear that robots and AI will soon control humans, efforts are underway to make sure that does not happen. So far, humans are still in control in 2025. However, AI is beginning to replace many jobs currently held by both white- and blue-collar workers.
Political Vengeance and Retribution (Page 42): “The Jupiter/Saturn square switches from mutable (thinking) to cardinal (action) signs in the spring of 2025. Jupiter in Cancer can indicate too much emotional reaction leading to poor decisions. Cancer takes things personally. There can be a quality of vindictiveness, getting even with those who have offended the native (leader) before. This can lead to criticism of those leaders (and individuals) who try to extract vengeance or retribution against those who have hurt them in the past. This can indicate a period of pettiness and whining, grievances, of those who operate primarily from an emotional, self-centered base, which is a turn-off to others who are more composed and wish for the same composure of their leaders.”
Result: As stated earlier, President Trump went back on his campaign promise not to seek revenge against those who he believed harmed or offended him in the past. Instead, he has directed the FBI and DOJ to start proceedings against those he believes have harmed him in the past – his political enemies, such as former CIA Director John Brennan, former FBI Director James Comey, and former President Barack Obama – who he now claims have committed treason against the U.S. – for their role in supporting the “Russian Hoax” in the 2016 Election and interfering with his ability to conduct his presidential duties.
Russia-Ukraine War (Page 43): “The Jupiter/Neptune waxing square also takes place in mid-June 2025. This suggests a crisis around the war between Russia and Ukraine… The war started under the conjunction, and now it is at a crisis point. It is possible that Russia sees this as the point where its goals at the start of the invasion are finally beginning to bear fruit. But it may also be a time when it overestimates its position and demands concessions that are not acceptable to Ukraine and its supporters. If so, the trend may begin to reverse again, and Russia loses its best opportunity to come to a closing of this conflict in its favor. It is also possible that Russia is on the verge of a financial setback, even a collapse of its economy.”
Result: Despite Trump’s efforts to bring the war to a halt, Russia has not let up in its relentless attack on Ukraine as of this writing. This caused Trump to demand peace talks within 50 days, which shortly after he modified to only 10-12 days due to frustration with Russia. In addition, Russia’s economy has weakened, with implied threats for further economic sanctions by Trump if Russia doesn’t stop its aggression and killing.
Inflation (Page 43): “The Jupiter/Neptune cycle also pertains to inflation. During the conjunction in April 2022, inflation soared to 9% in America. Inflation has been coming down as of late 2022 and 2023. The bottom line is that inflation is coming down as we enter 2025, but it may rise again sometime between mid-2025 through early 2026.”
Result: According to Google, “In the U.S., inflation started to rise again in June, with the Consumer Price Index (CPI) showing a 2.7% increase year-over-year. This rise is attributed, in part, to President Trump’s tariffs taking effect, which led to some retailers increasing prices. The June increase marked a notable acceleration from the 2.4% annual inflation recorded in May.”
Threat to Federal Reserve Bank Independence (Page 51): “The Fed seems destined to be vulnerable to power plays from the federal government… The Fed cannot afford to fall behind the curve again these next two years if it wishes to stay in the good graces of the nation and its government… Hampering the Fed at the same time is the fact that the Saturn/Neptune conjunction squares the Fed’s Sun. It’s not sure what to do. The Sun is the Chair of the Fed. If things go wrong, he is especially vulnerable to being a scapegoat, the person blamed. His position as leader or chair is questioned. If a drama unfolds similar to that just described here, it will coincide with the bottom of the Aries Vortex abyss. It would be an epic struggle between the government and its central bank, probably between the president and the chairman of the Federal Reserve Bank.”
Result: President Trump has made it very clear that he wants Fed Chair Jerome Powell out, and to replace him with someone more compatible with the president’s own wishes (and influence) on Fed policy. Its independence is at stake, despite claims to the contrary from White House officials.
The United States – Use of National Guard (Page 59): “Mars, in a nation’s chart, rules its military. In a hard aspect from a progressed planet, it could result in the deployment of the nation’s military. Could it relate to domestic disturbances? That is possible, too, for Mars in the 9th house also relates to protesters, especially in colleges and universities. There may be a serious conflict between higher educational institutions and the executive branch of the U.S. government, which prompts the president to take action that may involve the National Guard or military in 2025-2026.”
Result: The National Guard was called up for duty in June in Los Angeles to present a show of force against demonstrators opposed to ICE’s immigration raids on undocumented foreign workers and their families. Immigration themes are also a ninth house matter.
Donald Trump – A Year of Chaos and Accomplishments (Page 71): “Also noteworthy is transiting Uranus conjoining Trump’s natal MC in Taurus. His first year is apt to be filled with many surprises, some working out very well and others surprisingly poorly. It also indicates chaos and difficulty staying the course… As Uranus is not considered a sign of stability and comfort, and given that Mr. Trump seems at his best in situations of chaos, he will have plenty of opportunities to deal with chaotic situations, many of which will likely be of his own making… His other opportunity for great achievements comes from transiting Saturn (which) moves to form a trine to his natal Saturn and Venus, March 26 through the end of the year. Although Saturn does not experience success quickly, he nevertheless gets things done in March-May and then again in November-December. He has much resistance, but he also manages to execute many of his plans by the end of the year.”
Result: The most common word to describe President Trump’s first months in office in his second term is “chaos”. Yet, he has experienced many successes with his agenda in the first months of this term, despite great resistance, protest, unpopularity, and chaos.
