SP500

For the SP500, cycle-wise June 27 was the last Primary cycle trough. 1 that puts us entering the 14th week. I was looking for a possible 50 week low to coincide with that Primary trough. The sharp move up after the June 27th Primary low seems to confirm this was the 50 week trough as well.

The next estimated Primary cycle ( aka nominal 18 week cycle)  low is October 24 +- 3 weeks with a range of October 3rd to November 14th. As we get closer I use the upcoming Astros to try and get a more exact reading on when the Primary cycle trough will occur. This will be included in the October Subscribers report. October 5th is one possibility; however, I think this may mark a lower high then the markets go down. This could goto the end of the week, October 7th where we have the Sun square Pluto.

One of the items in the September Subscribers Report was that we were about to enter a period of change. This will be slow at first and change into October and beyond. Friday, September 9th was the start with Jupiter entering Libra. Jupiter is about the judicial and religious worlds. It is about the justice system, prominent judges and barristers and the nation's wealth and bankers. The sign of Libra is about justice , it's sign looks like the scales of justice. Libra will bring more use of intuition and intelligence and also justice. Problems come in when firm decisions must be made. Libra is indecisive. We should also watch for the negative effects of Jupiter which are over-doing things, a laissez-faire attitude, failure to honour commitments particularly at the legal and financial level.

I think we'll be coming back to the "nation's wealth" issue.

This period of change is also a volatile period for the markets (October) , a period of social unrest and an unpredictable election in the USA.

Mars enters Capricorn on Sept 27th where it is exalted. One more piece of a move from mutable signs to Cardinal signs. Here Mars, male energy, is the initiator of action in the worldly environment and is kept in check by Saturn the ruler of Capricorn.

So what of other Astrology coming up. I'll include them in the October Subscribers Report. On another matter there is an old Wall Street saying..." Sell Rosh Hashanah and buy Yom Kipper". Keep in mind it does not always work.

The dates coming up are

October 2 Rosh Hashanah

October 12 Kipper

I'm still looking for some secret to be exposed or deceit. Maybe it's Julian Assange of WikiLeaks.

There are many other things like a perigee Full Moon, aka Supermoon this month.

Following is the daily chart of the SP500.

Following is a chart of the planetary average longitude. The vertical blue lines are based on the average longitude of the planets Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto which are converted to price. The levels this calculates typically are excellent points to place sell or buy stops. I often use them with Fibonacci retracement levels as well.

Another chart is the daily SP500 with the Sun and Pluto price lines. Green is the Sun and black is Pluto. Notice, the SP500 was stopped at the Pluto price line (black line) during the day and fell back close to the Sun price line at the close. Watch this to see if the SP500 can move up, through the Pluto price line.

See the following weekly chart of the US$ index. The purple squares are the Uranus Retrograde dates. Note the US$ often turns close to the Uranus Retrograde dates, both up and down.

Also note the red vertical lines on the right side of the chart. This is the 26 week cycle. This has also been close to short term changes in trend. This 26th week cycle occurred the same week as the Uranus retrograde and the US$ is going down. Currently the weekly trend is still up but the US$ continues sideways from March 2015. Without any World Event it looks like the US$ will rise into at least January 2017.

The Saturn waning square to Neptune was exact on September 10. Although the effects of this transit can still be felt it is now waning energy as these two planets are now starting their journey to a conjunction in February 20, 2026.

We'll watch this square as other planets make aspects to either Saturn or Neptune. Lies and deceit continue

Harmonics

I continue to watch the 24th harmonic cycle (360 / 24) cycle between the Sun and Saturn, which are the brown squares on the following daily chart. The next hits are Oct. 4th then October 21. They are often at short changes in trend as seen on the August 1 date which was followed by two strong moves down. Watch October 4th next week as we were looking for a trigger to start the SP500 moving down.

Gold

I was looking at May 31 as the start of a nominal 18 week cycle   ¹ trough.

Gold has been going sideways but now entering the 17th week of the Primary cycle ( aka nominal 18 week cycle). I'm watching around Oct 5th where we have the Mars square to Jupiter. This has a history with Primary cycle turns but needs +- a few days. Remember if I give a date it is a minimum of +- 2 td's (trading days). So we may see the start of a new Primary cycle shortly. Expect volatility.

The US elections could start interfering with the normal length of cycles if it gets to the end of October without hitting it's trough. Precious metals in particular, could be very volatile and could spring up.

The red vertical lines are the 14 cd cycle (calendar date) which has been at tops and bottoms for short term trend changes. The next date is October 6th.

The next chart shows the planetary averages from Jupiter to Pluto set to 15 degrees (blue horizontal lines).  Again these have been good support and resistance.

The red vertical are a 400 cd cycle which is close to 13.2 months. It is the red circle which is Sun conjunct Neptune.

Crude

Feb 11 was the start of the previous Primary cycle. The crude cycle trough hit again on August 3rd where we have another Primary Cycle trough (PB).

We have had a Major cycle (aka 6 week cycle) crest (MT) and a Major cycle trough (MB) and are going up into the second Major cycle of the Primary cycle.

I'm watching all aspects to Jupiter or Neptune, the two rulers of crude.

The following weekly chart of crude has a 16 week (red) and 24 week (blue) cycles. Where they land together red + blue = green.

The green cycle has been at both highs and lows in crude and sometimes very sharp moves. Watch this the week of October 10th particularly Oct 11 and Oct 17th.
