SP500

This will be a short blog post this week as I'll be working on the November subscriber report.

For the SP500, cycle-wise we are entering the 10th week of Primary cycle  ¹ cycle that started on Aug 24th.  This cycle is aka, the nominal 18 week with a range of 15 to 21 weeks. This is the chart we have been following for many months. I'm leaving the old estimate for the Primary cycle on the chart and adding a new one in blue based on the Aug 24th Primary cycle low.

Since we are in the 10th week, with a dramatic move up, we should be looking for a 1/2 Primary crest and turn down.

The next time band for a nominal 18 week (Primary) cycle trough is noted on the above chart of the SP500 above and is from Nov 30 through Jan 15, 2016. Note we stopped at the Fib 78.6%. 78.6% is the square root of 61.8%. The market then went higher and moved back down on Oct 20th and again is close to the Fib 78.6% area.

Other longer term cycles that may be close to seeing their lows in the next couple of months are the 6.5 - 7 year cycle and the Kitchin cycle (40 months).

The following chart shows the 21 and 34 weekly moving averages and the fact price broke through both averages. We would expect the 21 week to start curling up and crossing the 34 week. We can't confirm the 4 year until this takes place. We could see a pull back before the 21 week crosses over the 34 week moving average.

From four weeks ago blog; "If it was a 4 year cycle low the markets should be bullish."

They've been bullish since Sept 29th 2 days after the Lunar eclipse.

See last weeks comments on Pluto and the National chart of the USA. Everything we said about Pluto and the US last week should hold true for many weeks going forward.

Looking forward to the first two weeks of November we have Venus conjunct Mars on November 2nd. This aspect has a history of turns occurring near Primary cycle crests and troughs given a broad range of 13 td's. In this case it would be near a crest and typically hits the crest after the exact date, in this case after November 2nd.  The North Node enters Virgo on Nov. 11th. The  North Node moves in the opposite direction to the planets. On Nov 8 Venus enters Libra and conjuncts the North Node. On Nov. 12th Mars conjuncts the North Node and enters Libra. Any of these could mark a change in trend in the Primary cycle. Give all dates +- a few td's. There is more quantum flux in the universe than many account for.

The North Node in Virgo represents fate or destiny and Virgo represents our service to the world, as well as, our daily routines and generally fixing things up.

Mars is also the most often noted link to the nodes at the times of accidents, due almost exclusively to sudden careless actions. Confrontations are very likely to surface with this connection and there are typically increased mechanical breakdowns and malfunctions. Watch for increased military activity, terrorists and explosives.

Following is a monthly chart of the SP500 with the 6.5 and 7 year cycle on it. The red bars near the bottom of the cycle indicator show time periods that the 7 year cycle is estimated to hit it's trough. Due to the influence of other long term cycles I'm looking at December 2015 / January 2016 as a possible period of time for the 7 year cycle low.

From now through to February 2016 Uranus and Pluto move closer together to the square which we wrote much about in 2014 and early in 2015. For new subscribers or anyone, use the search facility on the blog. Search for "Uranus square Pluto". We should mention Mars will go retrograde in January 2016 and add energy to the Uranus / Pluto square near the end of January.

Jupiter and Saturn are in the business planets and Mars the planet giving energy to business activities.

On January 9, 2016 Jupiter turns retrograde and moves to form a square aspect with Saturn on March 23. This Jupiter-Saturn square aspect will be a prominent feature in the 2016 Sun cycle that commences March 20. We will cover cycle charts in the January report.

The third and final Jupiter-Saturn square, should be a sign for decreased business activity and lower profits is formed May 26, 2016.

On March 26, 2016 Saturn turns retrograde and moves to form a square aspect with Neptune on June 18, 2016. The third and final Saturn-Neptune square aspect reaches its peak power on September 10, 2016.

The first square in this series is Saturn square Neptune on Nov 26th, 2015. This is approximately a 36 year cycle so we are not forecasting for the day or week. This aspect needs a trigger and there two in November. Subs have the dates. This aspect is often present near times when there is a change in trend for interest rates or inflation. It can also be a period of sickness, suffering and money valuation problems. The second half of November should express these energies.

There are 3 Mars conjunctions in 2016. Mars is conjunct Saturn August 24, 2016; Mars is conjunct Pluto October 19; and Mars is conjunct Neptune January 1, 2017.

Saturn square Neptune, Uranus square Pluto and these 3 Mars conjunctions are the outstanding influences on global affairs during 2016, but whatever happens will be triggered by events occurring in September, October and November 2015. Be forewarned.

Neptune is prominent particularly in the second half of November 2015. We've mentioned watching Jupiter and Neptune for swings in crude. We've also noted Neptune often brings illusion, delusion, lies, deceit and falsehood.

Neptune also rules water. This could be showing a lack of water or too much as would be the case in large storms.

On the following chart which is the average longitude of the planets Mars through Pluto

(blue lines) converted to price. The SP500 has rose through another price line at 2078 but fell back to the line. The blue midpoint lines are acting as resistance / support for the SP500 on it's move up.

At this point, following are the highs in the US indexes.

Some of the biggest moves in the US markets have occurred when Saturn is in mutable signs. The mutable signs are Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius and Pisces. Saturn changed signs into Sagittarius on Sept 17th and will be there until Dec 20, 2017.

And one more showing the geocentric Jupiter / Saturn square (red squares) including the following note (Every pass of the waning square between Jupiter and Saturn that has been a 3 pass has resulted in a longer term cycle unfolding between the first and last passages). Could the August low be it?  The Saturn square Neptune aspect (light green squares) on the following chart are often found with high or low inflation and high or low interest rates.

Gold

Gold put in a  Primary cycle   ¹ trough on July 24th. This could turn out to be a very important low.

We are entering the 14th week of the nominal 18 week cycle. It is quite possible Gold put in a Primary cycle crest on Oct 15th in which case we would be heading down into it's Primary cycle bottom. I sent out an Alert earlier last week to get out of Gold.

I'm looking at a trough between the week of Nov 9 to Nov 30. So this could be Nov 9 at the earliest and 1st week in December the latest. With the central banks of the world being so active the trough could occur earlier. I will attempt to get closer to the actual date. At the moment Nov 9, Nov 26 and Nov 30 look possible. All should have +- 3td's

On the following daily Gold chart notice Gold had been following the heliocentric Venus price line (green) up but now moving down and broken through the Venus and Jupiter heliocentric price lines. Watch for Gold to stop moving down at either the Venus or Jupiter price lines. If the next Jupiter price line is broken we could go down quickly.

Crude

This coming week of Nov 2nd we should be entering the 10th week of a nominal 18 week cycle which started August 24th.

In the second half of November, Neptune will be highlighted as it changes to direct motion, Saturn squares Neptune and the Sun squares Neptune while conjunct Saturn. I expect crude to be quite volatile. With Neptune active to this degree I would also expect our old friends, illusion, delusion, lies, deceit and falsehoods to be apparent. If they ever left.
