SP500

For the SP500, cycle-wise June 27 was the last Primary cycle trough.  1 that puts us entering the 11th 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.

As I write this note, the last waning square of Saturn and Neptune is exact today September 10th. That's 25 degrees, 23 minutes in Capricorn for you mid-point guys / ladies.

Remember what I've said about the 11th day of a month. Some important events in US history have occurred on the 11th of a month. This does not mean every month but often enough to be aware. The next estimated Primary cycle low is October 24 +- 3 weeks.

Some of the points I've made in this blog and monthly report. Let me also make the point the difficult period is not over.

"The main thrust of this report is we are entering a more volatile period for the markets and world events. This is being stimulated by the Astrological aspects and events. Although many indices may have positive appearances the FED is supporting the markets with low rates. The market has become very over valued."

"A break from the side-ways chop and more volatile activity is expected, maybe as early as this week or shortly after the Sept 10th Saturn / Neptune square."

"This rough period is going to continue through late September and the next 2.5 weeks in particular.  Subscribers have the critical dates ....."

"For those who have followed this blog for awhile I've been looking at the week of

August 22nd through the first couple of weeks of September to be troublesome with potential war, major terrorist events or violent weather. This could also be pointing to banking problems or geophysical (earthquakes) events. I'm looking for earthquakes

over 6....."

"....there will be another Lunar eclipse which appears much stronger than the Lunar eclipse on August 18th. The next one occurs on September 16th"

" There has been so many lies and deceit over the last months I'm hoping the Saturn aspect to Neptune coming up will shed some light  on these lies and some truth comes forward. This is an aspect of fear, so watch for it. Watch the days around Sept 10 when Saturn is in waning square to Neptune. +- a couple of weeks. This is the 36 year aspect."

" I had mentioned the possibility of earthquakes and violent weather during this period."

So we've had sharp moves in the markets, earthquakes, violent weather and testing a nuclear bomb.

One of the items in the September Subscribers Report is that we are about to enter a period of change. This will be slow at first and change into October and beyond. Friday 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. An old saying is "Peace at any price, Librans. We should also watch for the negative effects of Jupiter which are over-doing things, a laissez-faire attitude, failure to honour commitments particularly as the legal and financial level.

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

So what of the Astrology coming up.

Mercury is about half way through it's retrograde period and turns direct on September 22nd. This is one day after the FOMC meeting at which a decision to raise rates may be made. I emphasize "may". Covered many times, Mercury is known as the trickster and the retro period is not a good time to make decisions, or sign contracts or agreements. It's about confusion and mis-directed energy. Go ahead and plan. Mercury has it's most effect on people who know nothing about it.

Following is a chart showing Mercury on a daily chart of the SP500. The red arrow pointing left is when Mercury turns retrograde and the blow arrow pointing right is Mercury turning direct. The I and S show the Inferior and Superior conjunctions. Only Mercury and Venus can have Inferior and Superior conjunctions as they are inside the Earth's orbit.

The Inferior conjunction has Mercury between the Earth and the Sun.

The Superior conjunction has Mercury on the opposite side of the Sun.

September 22nd. That is an auspicious date as it is 1 day after the FOMC and Mars transits over the Galactic Center. This is often near lows or market turns. Mars will be at it's peak of an "Out of Bounds" period.

The immediate outlook is still not pleasant with strong Lunar eclipse.

I'm still looking for some secret to be exposed. I thought it might news of Charles Ortel but that didn't make it to the main stream media. Saturn in strong aspect to Neptune is not only illusion and delusion but also fear. If Saturn is transiting over planets in your natal horoscope you will feel it.

Neptune's energy is about disillusion, that is, it dissolves the current structure. Where Saturn represents that which is solid and the status quo. Neptune breaks down the current structures and status quo. I'm hoping Neptune brings some light to the lies and deceit which have part of the last number of months. Neptune is also inflation. Look for this to pick up after the Saturn / Neptune waning square.

Venus, which amongst other things rules money. It is going to square Pluto on

September 11. There are a number of other potent aspects reserved for subscribers.

Following is the daily chart of the SP500.

Some points on this chart of the Sp500.

- The two light blue lines show a broadening top. Markets either bounce off the top line and move down or break through the rising line and then reverse down or follow the top line up. The big move down on September 9 was 1 day before the Saturn squared Neptune exact date. Is this going to be a change in trend? I think so though we may have a volatile period for a few weeks and of course the September 21 FOMC, rate decision meeting.

- The bolder red line is the Geocentric Bradley indicator. Price started to move down after the August 15th all time high. September 9 has a turn in the Bradley. So does September 19th and September 29th. Subscribers see section 9 for definitions of the Bradley and how to read it.

- At the bottom of the daily chart the average True Range (20 bars) usually puts in a low when price puts in a high.

If there was only one word to describe the next month and a half it would be "disruptive".

There are major aspects coming up and one eclipse

Mars moved "out of bounds" on  August 8th, this makes Mars more erratic and unpredictable than usual. Remember Mars just entered Sagittarius, a mutable fire sign normally aggressive and impulsive but not dominating. 

Search the blog for definitions you don't understand. If a subscriber, search section 9 of the monthly report. There are many other important events occurring in September. Subscribers have the dates. The second half of September could be a very difficult period.

The following daily chart of the SP500 shows the average longitude of the planets Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto. The average longitude of these planets is converted to price and displayed on the chart as the horizontal blue lines. Look back and you will see this has acted as good support / resistance. Currently price has run up to the planetary average line but didn't break through. We'll follow this chart over the next couple of weeks. The planetary average currently bounced off the 2195 area. This area could be the high for some time.

Another chart is the daily SP500 with the Sun and Pluto price lines. Green is the Sun and black is Pluto. Notice, the SP500 has been stopped at the Pluto price line (black line) for some time and broke below the Pluto line on August 31. On Sept 2nd it broke above the Pluto price line and put in a high which stopped at the Sun Price Line (green). Price has now failed at the Sun 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. The US$ is still up because there are few alternatives.

The Saturn waning square to Neptune is exact today September 10.

This transit will be coloring the period of time (all year) although it's strongest effect is near the exact date. We'll watch this square as other planets make aspects to either Saturn or Neptune. Lies and deceit continue

Saturn waning square Neptune (for the last time)

-in the middle of a 3 pass, 1 exact hit to come this year on Sept10th.

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. Like dripping water on rock it can slowly change the structures Saturn built.

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 personal horoscope.

Neptune can be the height of spirituality or illusion, delusion and deceit. Saturn is reality, Karmic debt, contraction, depression, sorrow and disappointment. When these planets meet look for political changes and reforms. Self sacrifice may come to the fore. This aspect seems to have a history with the British Royal Family.

Neptune can also breakdown or dissolve the status quo (Saturn). It is Neptune which I have been looking at as a trigger to expose some type of big lie / secret.

The following chart shows a daily chart of the SP500 with the blue squares which denote the Saturn / Neptune waning square and red squares which show the Venus / Pluto waning square. The previous two exact dates were during very volatile periods. I'm expecting the same as we approach the next instance on Sept 10th.

With the recent activity in North Korea I'm watching all aspects for Mars (war-like)  which is currently in Sagittarius a mutable fire sign. Coming up on Tuesday is the Sun in waning square to Mars.

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 Sept 16 then October 4th. They are often at short changes in trend as seen on the August 1 date which was followed by two strong moves down.

“The further a society drifts from the truth, the more it will hate those who speak it.”

-- George Orwell

Gold

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

I was looking for Gold to move down starting August 29th. It did and found a low at the Major cycle low (6 week)  then had a short bounce and now starting down again. This looks like Gold will continue down with volatility to either the Sept 26 area, where we have Pluto direct  or the week of October 10 both +- a few.

The Primary cycle trough is measured to be around the middle of October. The US elections could start interfering with the normal length of cycles.

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 Sept 22nd.

On the following daily Gold charts there are the Venus (green), Jupiter (blue). These are the longitude of the planet converted to price. Note the big range day on September 2nd and 6th. The Sun was in opposition to Neptune on Sept 2nd which often has a strong effect on Gold. The next trading day was Sept 6 and it continued. The closing price is just above the Venus (green) price line.

Crude

Feb 11 was the start of the previous Primary cycle. The crude cycle trough hit again on August 3rd. This was the day of the Sun / Neptune 24 harmonic. (see the price line chart below).  We are still early in a new Primary cycle starting the 6th week.

The blue horizontal lines are the average longitude of the planets from Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto. The longitude is converted to price and put on the chart. It has acted as good support / resistance in the past. If the high on August 19 is the high for this Primary cycle it would be very left translated and very bearish. I suspect we will be going up. I'm watching all aspects to Jupiter or Neptune, the rulers of crude.

Geocentrically the Solar eclipse was Sept 1st. That was the day crude stopped going down and went up. (Note: the dark blue vertical line is a bug in the software I'm using) The Sun opposed Neptune, the ruler of crude on Sept 2nd and on Sept 9 when crude went down it was 1 day away from Saturn squaring Neptune. I'm watching the period around October 10th for a move in crude.

Mentioned many times Jupiter and Neptune are the co-rulers of crude. Neptune is in Pisces, the sign that it rules, making it stronger. Jupiter just moved into Libra.

The following chart shows the Jupiter (blue) and Neptune (grey)  price lines. These have acted as good support / resistance.

The red squares are the 24th harmonic between the Sun and Neptune. Amongst other things this harmonic is for a "short term change in trend". Crude has reacted very well to the 24th harmonic lately.

From last week.

Sept 2 then may be a change in trend meaning up. Note it started low and closed higher.  

The next two 24th harmonic dates are Sept 16th and Sept 30th. Sept 16th is the Lunar eclipse.
