SP500

For the SP500, Cycle-wise we are in either the 3rd week of a new Primary cycle which started on Feb. 2nd 2015 or the 18th week of a Primary  ¹  cycle (aka, the nominal 18 week with a range of 15 to 21 weeks) starting at the Oct 15th low.

The point was made on last weeks subscriber video that a new Primary cycle had possibly started. We will need a few more days of market action to confirm this is a new Primary cycle. There are a number of rules we look for when deciding if a new Primary cycle has started. These are included in the subscribers letter.

In addition to these rules the Feb 2 low was within 4 td's (trading days) of the Sun opposition to Jupiter on Feb 6th. The Sun in opposition to Jupiter has a history of being close to Primary cycle turns. Even so, this move appears early, particularly with the other world events unfolding. Also on Friday Feb 13 heliocentric Mars was conjunct Uranus, often found near short term market reversals.

So we are in a bit of a quandary. Are we in the 3rd week of a new Primary cycle which would be bullish or the 18th week of an older Primary which would make this bearish as we descend into the trough. We should know based on market action this week.

Following are two daily charts of the SP500, one showing the 18 week cycle and the other, a new Primary cycle and the 3rd week of it. Measuring out another 18 weeks we arrive at the week of June 5, 2015 as seen on the following daily chart of the SP500.

18 week and old Primary cycle

3 week and new Primary cycle

The SP500 also edged above the mid-point chart I have been showing the past few weeks. This should be watched closely. If this is the older cycle it should fall back under the last price line. (the price line is based on the average geocentric longitude of Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, Pluto. The average longitude is then converted to price and is seen on the following chart.

Keep in mind we are expecting the 4 year and possibly 6 year cycles to hit in 2015 or 1st quarter 2016. We should keep this in mind near the end of each Primary cycle. One of the two, or both, longer term cycles may trough out with a Primary cycle trough. We may be looking at June / July or 18 weeks after the next Primary cycle trough.

We are now entering the possible very difficult period I've been discussing for the past few weeks (months?) which is Feb 18 through March 20th and may go into early April.

Feb 18th has Mars passing over the point of the upcoming March 20th Total Solar Eclipse. Feb 18th is also a perigee New Moon or Super Moon per Richard Nolle. Over the next couple of days Venus and the Moon will pass over this point which is 29 degrees, 27 minutes in Pisces. This is very close to the powerful World Point.

Eclipses can have an effect for periods of time around the exact eclipse date, both before and after the exact date. There are also other related cycles, the Saros cycle, the Metonic cycle and Antiscia points. See below for a map of this coming Solar eclipse. These are covered in the market letter.

Other points coming up are the Jupiter in waxing trine to Uranus, Mars translating the Uranus / Pluto square, Saturn turning stationary direct and the 7th and last square of the Uranus / Pluto waxing square is March 16, 2015. This has been the Astrological aspect which has colored this period of history from early 2012 to March 16th, 2015. It's effect will be around for some time but will lessen after the last exact hit. It has been the catalyst for social unrest, debt / financial problems, governments and leaders trying to control their people and the masses rebelling. Any one of these aspects is very strong by itself and together... we are about to see. Although this aspect is very powerful it's full power may not have been seen yet. I believe it was either Bill Meridian or Charles Jayne (both astrologers) who said, "that the final aspect in a series (like this one) strikes the telling blow". 

We have also mentioned, the last few weeks, the period from Feb 18 through March 20th looks particularly disruptive. This could stretch into early April. The type of events we may witness may be disturbing. There are war aspects (either a greatly expanded current war or a new upset), possibly drastic security measures, deception, kidnappings, strife and discord, terror attacks. There also maybe some type of Hollywood sex scandal but this may be looked at as pretty mild stuff with the other events around this time. Except with the main stream media of course. Subscribers will get a list of exact dates. There were other comments made on the subscribers video which paint this period of time as quite violent which could cause an increase in fear. Remember these aspects are for the world, not just one country. I'm listing the countries / areas that may be most affected in the subscribers letter.

This does not sound very pleasant but we should add, there is the potential for some type of natural disaster. With the larger planets being aspected we can't rule out geophysical events. Look for an increase in earthquakes above 5.5 to point to something more major.

On Feb 11 Mercury turned stationary Direct, often a signature of a change in trend. Note the turns within 1 td when Mercury went retrograde on Jan 21 and when the Sun was in an inferior conjunction (the middle of the retrograde period) with Mercury on Jan 30th. So they have been very exact +- 1 td. Keep that in mind as we approach the Mercury shadow date on March 3rd. The day Mercury returns to the position it held when it went retrograde.

In brief, the Central Banks of the world continue to try and stir up inflation while commodities appear to be in a deflationary period. In doing so they continue to distort the true value of markets world wide.

Current conflicts include ISIS, the Ukraine, various locations in Africa and social unrest in many countries. Just think back to some of the images from the last few months with beheadings, setting a pilot ablaze and the strangulation and shooting of US citizens in broad day light, captured on video. There are other potential conflicts simmering on the back burner which could be set off. (Israel / Iran?).

Watch the US main stream media for their emphasis on who is at fault for war like activity.

Let's not forget these wise words.

"Statesmen will invent cheap lies, putting blame upon the nation that is attacked, and every man will be glad of those conscience-soothing falsities, and will diligently study them, and refuse to examine any refutations of them; and thus he will by and by convince himself that the war is just, and will thank God for the better sleep he enjoys after this process of grotesque self-deception."
-- Mark Twain

Geocentric Jupiter waxing trine Uranus VIDEO

The second exact trine in this series is March 3rd, 2015. This is the same day as the Mercury shadow date. The shadow date is the day Mercury returns to the position it held when it turned retrograde on January 21.

Gold

Gold put in a trough on Nov 7th. This would put us in the 15th week of it's Primary cycle   ¹  (nominal 18 week) during this coming week.

Volatility in precious metals continue. Watch Gold closely. There are a number of technical indicators pointing to a reversal in Gold. In addition there are a number of Astrological signatures that would indicate a reversal in Gold prices. The next one being Feb 22 when Venus conjuncts Mars. This may be emphasized as Feb 22 is also a new Mars cycle as it crosses 0 degrees declination from south to north. Watch the period from Feb 16 through the 19th as well.

The following daily Gold chart shows the heliocentric Venus (green) and Jupiter (blue) price lines. Note how Gold stopped on the heliocentric Jupiter price line. This appears to be good support. We may get either a bounce or reversal in the Primary cycle. Technically note the CCI(9) has just been below 100, often followed by a reversal in Gold prices.

Silver also appears to be in the 15th week of it's Primary cycle cycle  ¹ on

Nov 7th. looks like the Primary cycle (nominal 18 week cycle) trough. Like Gold, Silver was headed down for it's Primary cycle trough and may be reversing here. Watch closely next week, in particular Feb 16th - 19th.

The following daily chart of Silver shows the heliocentric price lines for Venus and Jupiter. It is getting close to the Venus price line.

Crude

I'm looking for Astrological aspects which would equate to a move in crude. I'll be looking for aspects that involve, Jupiter, Neptune or Pluto. Jupiter and Neptune co-rule crude which Pluto is relevant because it rules hidden things and things from the ground.

Feb 6th had the Sun opposing Jupiter and Feb 25 will have the Sun conjunct Neptune. Give these signature +- 5 td's. The Neptune signature should be the strongest as Neptune is in Pisces, the sign that it rules. All Neptune aspects should be highlighted including illusion, delusion and the big lie. Spirituality would be included here as well. We need more of that.

Such strong moves down, as seen in crude the last few months very often try to retest the recent lows. Watch the heliocentric price lines for Neptune (green) and Jupiter (orange) for resistance and support.
