SP500

For the SP500, cycle-wise Feb 11 was the Primary cycle trough.  ¹ that started on Aug 24th. Feb 11th was a slightly lower low than Jan 20th low. Jan 20th was the low for a number of other indices. Feb 11th started a new nominal 18 week cycle in the SP500 and we are entering the 17th week. The nominal 6 week, there are often 3, 6 week cycles in the nominal 18 week cycle. The range is 5 to 7 weeks.

Another possibility is May 19th was a short (14 week) trough for the nominal 18 week cycle and we are now entering the 3rd week of a Primary cycle that started on May 19th. We had noted May 19th as being important as it was a day for the 24 harmonic between the Sun and Saturn.

We'll treat this as the 17th week of an older cycle but may change on quick notice. Subscribers will receive an ALERT if the Primary cycle is changed.

Notice that price is above the 15 day sma and 45 day sma's,  If this is the 17th week we should be seeing price move below both averages.

From last weeks subscriber report.:

"June 3 Sun / Saturn 24th harmonic

Short term changes in trend.

June 3 Venus waxing square Neptune

Another signature that typically identifies a change in general market trends.

June 3 Venus opposition Saturn

This needs a wider orb but often points to a period where market troughs appear. Needs a 1-2 week orb.

June 4 Sun waning square Jupiter

Strong history of occurring at market turns given a wide orb."

Last week we showed a chart with the Sun/Saturn 24th harmonic (brown square) and the Sun square Jupiter (red square) on the same date is the Sun squaring Jupiter often a powerful market mover. Following is the update chart.

With the poor Employment report on June 3rd, I thought we would go lower. Looking at an intraday chart we see a recovery after the first hour for the SP500. This is showing strength although I can't imagine who would be buying immediately after such a poor jobs report.

On the next chart I've had June 13th as an estimated date for the nominal 18 week cycle low for many weeks. Just look at this as the centre of a time window from the 15th week to the 23rd week for the Primary / nominal 18 week cycle low. The next black vertical line (June 6th) is the 39 cd cycle which has been near highs and down. Note Stochastics, the bottom indicator, is turning over.

We are in an interesting and possibly difficult period for the whole month of June.

The volatile aspects continue with both the Sun and Venus in waning square to Jupiter on June 4th.  Both of these transits have a history of Primary cycle turns

Also on June 4th the Sun is on the heliocentric nodes of Uranus. The latter is very close to a New Moon on June 4th at 14'GM53". The New Moon is perigee, the Moon's closest path to Earth for this orbit. Watch out for violent weather or geophysical upsets.

This is in loose opposition to Saturn, remembering Saturn continues in a T-Square with Jupiter and Neptune so deceit and illusion should also continue. The New Moon is very close to the position of Saturn on 9/11 where it was opposing Pluto in Sagittarius.

On June 6th the Sun conjuncts Venus (superior conjunction). The superior conjunction has Venus on the far side of the Sun. There could be some of dishonesty regarding money or policies. Venus is also at 0 degrees of Latitude, an event that does not happen very often.

Sometimes it's best to take interpretation literally. In this case Venus is blocked out, it's on the other side of the Sun. Hidden matters dealing with money or policies may be the theme.

This date has some history for Israel. 49 years ago. June 6, 1967 was the start of the 6 day war.

There are other aspects but this should suffice to cover most of the activity.

Speaking of history on June 4th will have transiting Saturn on the "USA Sagittarius Rising" chart Saturn will be on the Ascendant. Saturn is still the apex of a T-square with Jupiter and Neptune, lies and deceit. Saturn is also the planet of karmic justice. The New Moon of June 4th will be on the Saturn position of Sept 11th. Interesting that Sept 11, 2001 is back in the news again.

Also interesting that transiting Pluto, the planet of hidden power and influence through wealth has just entered the 2nd house using the USA Sagittarius rising chart. There could be an explosive event in front of us do to the release of secret information.

So we have potentially two interesting events for Israel and the USA on the weekend of June 4-6 could be very interesting. Watch this closely.

I suspect a major period or falsehoods and potentially some found out over the next month and I mean through June. The FED rate hike seems impossible with the recent unemployment report.

There is also a grand trine forming between Mercury, Jupiter (North Node) and Pluto. Interestingly these are in Cardinal, Fixed and Mutable signs.

There has been an increase in lies and falsehoods. With Neptune active by transit it may take some time for the truth to appear. As someone said, "There's is never only one cockroach."

With the longer term market cycles we use the Astrological aspects and Astrological events to determine a more exact time. Note: I have taken off the brief description of the Uranus / Pluto waning square. Longer term geocentric Astrological cycles that are coming up include:

On the following weekly chart of the DJIA, the red squares are Jupiter square Saturn and the green squares are Saturn square Neptune. It's between these two events that I have been looking for the Primary cycle low. That is between May 26, Jupiter square Saturn and June 17, Saturn square Neptune and I'm leaning to the June 17th date +- 1 week.

Jupiter waning square Saturn

- in the middle of a 3 pass, 2 exact hits to come this year

"The business cycle and direct effect on European history. Major changes will be occurring in Europe as result of the refuge migration. There is a major sign change coming up when Jupiter and Saturn are conjunct in 2020. More on this 240 year conjunction in a future post."

           

Saturn square Neptune

-in the middle of a 3 pass, 2 exact hits to come this year

Saturn is about social order, structure and regulations. Neptune can be politically unrealistic and a desire to avoid confrontation. It can be devious, underhanded and use subversive tactics.

"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 epidemics, pandemics suffering, depression and money valuation problems. This could be a change in the world's reserve currency or issues around it. A large increase in precious metals is also possible as it is a money valuation issue. This 36 year aspect has been associated with political changes, reforms and development of socialism. One wonders in regards to epidemics and sickness, would this be natural illnesses or man-made." If you feel depressed or not at ease this aspect may be the cause. One of these planets may be hitting a planet in your horoscope.

The next 2 charts are daily charts of the SP500, and the Russell 2000. The horizontal blue lines are the average longitude of the planets Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto on both charts This average is converted to price and displayed on the charts. Notice how well they have acted as support and resistance. The SP500 seems to be stopped in the 2104 area.

The next chart is the Russell 2000. This index is subject to far less manipulation than the SP500. Notice how well it respects the Astrological average price lines. It's too bad we have to bring up manipulation but the reality is, it happens. Here, the blue lines again are the average longitude of the planets Jupiter through Pluto converted to price. The Russell put in a low on May 19th and touched the planetary average line. Again, it is possible May 19th was a shortened cycle but I'm going with the 17th week cycle for now.

Other longer term cycles that we have been following may have found their trough on Jan 20 or Feb 11. This would include the 4 year and 6.5 year cycles. To confirm these cycles I'm waiting for the cycle low I'm expecting in June 2016. If Jan 20 and Feb 11 are the lows this would help explain the sharp move up starting in February. Assuming the 2009 low was an 18 year cycle low, we may be looking at a 9 year cycle low late 2017 - 2018.

Neither Jan 20 nor Feb 11 were very deep lows. They were either shallow or a deeper low is in front of us. This is very important. For the SP500 I'm looking for the mid to late June low as being the first Primary cycle low of the 4 year cycle. The range for this low is from May 30 to July 4th. Bear in mind there is a possibility the 4 year is in front of us. I'm looking for a move down to the nominal 18 week trough.

Gold

I'm now looking at March 28th as the start of a new nominal 18 week cycle   ¹ trough.

This puts us entering the 11th week of the Primary cycle. There was a huge move on June 3rd after the poor Employment report. Not surprising with all the Jupiter and Neptune aspects, particularly the Sun square Neptune. Neptune will also turn retrograde mid month.

From last weeks report, Mars, which is retrograde, has now reentered Scorpio where Gold prices often rise and Mars was in Scorpio for most of the rise in Gold from late 2015.

Price is now just below the 15 sma and 45 sma.  We would expect price to be below these two averages as we approach the Primary cycle low which could be a number of weeks away.

On the following daily Gold charts there are the Venus (green), Jupiter (blue) and Uranus (purple) price lines. These are the longitude of the planet converted to price. As so often happens Gold made a big move close to when the Venus and Jupiter price lines cross.

Watch this area early next week and see if Gold breaks above the Jupiter (blue) price lines.

Crude

Feb 11 had another lower low and is now marked a Primary cycle trough which has us starting the 17h week of the nominal 18 week cycle.

Crude has made a strong move up from the Feb 11 lows although increased consumption and decreased production don't appear to be playing a role.

As noted above the planets ruling crude, Jupiter and Neptune are in multiple aspect the next two weeks with Jupiter being in a grand square and grand trine.

As seen on the following chart, crude has been going sideways for the past 2 weeks. It sits on the planetary average (Jupiter through Pluto) longitude converted to price (blue line)

Being in the 17th week, I suspect we are approaching the crest for this crude cycle and may have seen it on May 26th. Watch the days around June 6th and the week of

June 13th. Neptune is involved in multiple aspects over the next few weeks..

We have 1 more exact hit of the Jupiter / Pluto trine, that is June 26th. The previous dates were Oct 9, 2015 and March 16, 2015. This aspect has tended to be near highs. I suspect this will be after a Primary cycle low.

The next daily chart of crude has the Jupiter (blue) and Neptune (grey) Price Lines. These are the two planets that rule crude. Price is sitting between the Jupiter and Neptune price lines.

The red squares are the 24th harmonic between the Sun and Neptune. Amongst other things this harmonic is for a "change in trend". Looking back they do appear at short term changes in trend. I'm looking for crude to break through the Jupiter and Neptune price lines for signs of a move to a Primary cycle trough.
