MARKET PREDICTION Through ASTROLOGY? Get to Know Financial Astrologer Susan Gidel

Ryan Butler, ISAR's outreach director, interviews astrologer Susan Gidel as a preview for ISAR's 2026 Star Club April panel on financial astrology. Susan shares her Chicago roots, involvement with local astrology groups, and her longtime home in a 1920s Chicago bungalow. She describes how she became serious about astrology after working with astrologer Barbara Shermer and later studying formally through the International Academy of Astrology, graduating in 2014. Susan explains her approach to financial astrology—personifying markets and companies—and traces her market interest to growing up on a farm, studying ag economics and journalism, and decades in commodity futures. She discusses related market methods (technical analysis, Elliott Wave, and W.D. Gann), her pet peeve about “not believing” in astrology, her view of astrology as energetic “clicking” mechanisms, and an eclipse-timed event on the day her father died.
