SP500

For the SP500, cycle-wise June 27 was the last Primary cycle trough.  1 that puts us entering the 10th week. I was looking for a possible 50 week low to coincide with the Primary trough. The sharp move off the June 27th Primary low seems to confirm this was the 50 week trough as well.

The question is whether we had a nominal 6 week cycle low on August 2nd or are we headed into a 1/2 Primary cycle ( nominal 9 week) with a range of  7.5 to 10.5 weeks.

It is quite possible Aug 15, which was a New All time High for the SP500 and other major market indices, was a 1/2 Primary cycle top.

The earthquakes on August 24 in Italy was exactly on the date of the Mars / Saturn conjunction. There was also a 6.8 earthquake in Myanmar (Burma)  that day that got poor coverage in the western media.

On September 1st there was a Solar eclipse and on September 16 there will be another Lunar eclipse which appears much stronger than the Lunar eclipse on August 18th.

From last weeks blog:

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

Also from weeks blog post:

"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 was a 7.1 earthquake on September 1 off the coast of New Zeeland , a large hurricane which hit landfall on the Gulf side in Florida and is tracking to go up the East coast  and a another cyclone about to hit Japan. What we haven't seen is an increase in war activity or major terrorist event. Hopefully we won't be seeing these over the next few weeks but I'm expecting further trouble.

On August 30 Mercury turned Retrograde. This is a time of some confusion and misdirected communications. Mercury will be retrograde until September 22nd. That is an auspicious date as Mars transits over the Galactic Center and Mars will be at it's peak of an "Out of Bounds" period. Historically Mars conjunct the GC has been near lows in the US stock markets or at least turns.

The fact we are entering a period of confusion and problematic communications may add fuel to the fire that is the US Presidential Elections. Neither candidate appears very Presidential.

The immediate outlook is not pleasant with strong Solar eclipse transiting the very close Saturn / Neptune square at the end of the week. Solar eclipses can be in effect for weeks after the actual date.

To continue with problems the Sun is conjunct the North Node on September 4th and the 3rd and final pass of the Saturn/ Neptune waning square occurs on September 10th.

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. See notes below.

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.

Subscribers received a separate report dealing with the 3 eclipses, now 1 eclipse and the main Astrology aspects, that will occur over the next 3 weeks. They should be potent.

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 bolder blue line is the Heliocentric Bradley indicator. Price started to move down after the August 15th all time high. August 26th, a sharp reversal in the indicator may be indicating a change in trend and speed up the decline. Subscribers see section 9 for definitions of the Bradley.

- At the bottom of the daily chart the average True Range (20 bars) usually puts in a low when price puts in a high. The weekly chart shows the SP500 very overbought.

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. The first lunar eclipse was August 18th and nothing of note happened. It was within 6 cd's of the Italian and Myanmar earthquakes but I look to the Mars conjunct Saturn on the fixed star Antares as the driving force for that 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 August and September. Subscribers have the dates. Late August and the first half of September could be a very difficult period.

A chart we have not shown for awhile is a daily chart of the SP500 with 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 before a reversal.

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). Also note price often follows the Sun price line up. 

With the low employment report raising rates is off the table. The US$ appears to be starting a move up. 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.

When Saturn turned direct in August it is headed for the last exact waning square between Saturn and Neptune. This aspect has created much of the tension, lies and deceit we have seen for the last number of months. The date of the last exact square is September 10 but these longer term transits will color history for many months afterwards and need a broad orb. This time period may expose some long term deceit and there may be an illness or worse for a current world leader.

This transit will be coloring the period of time (all year). Lies and deceit continue

Saturn waning square Neptune

-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.

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.

One of the cycles associated with eclipses is the Metonic cycle. It is 19 years in length.

If we count back 19 years we have the time period for Princess Diana tragic death. Watch the news and see if something ties into the Royal Family. Perhaps uncovering some issue around the Family or Princess Diana's death.

Another cycle for eclipses is the Saros cycle. This is an 18 year, 11 day, 8 hour cycle. It marks the return of the Sun, Earth and Moon to approx. the same location. It takes 3 successive eclipses to return to the same area on Earth. Eclipses in a Saros cycle takes approx. 18 years so 18 * 3 = 54 years.

If we look at the Sept 1 Solar eclipse it is approx. 54 years from the Cuban Missile Crisis. There are nuclear issues with the U.S./ NATO locating nuclear tactical weapons in Europe on the Russian border. There are nuclear issues in Turkey as well. Before this is taken out of context, I am not forecasting nuclear war. This may be a time where nuclear issues come to the fore however.

On the following weekly chart of the DJIA, the red squares are Jupiter square Saturn, now past, and the green squares are Saturn square Neptune. It's between these two events that I have been looking for the Primary cycle low. We got it. After Sept 10 +- we will drop this chart.

The following chart shows a daily chart of the DJIA with the green squares which denote the Saturn / Neptune 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.

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.

Gold

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

This puts us entering the 13th week this coming week. We may have put in a 1/2 Primary cycle or 9 week cycle on July 21st. It could also have been the nominal 6 week cycle which has a range of 5 to 7 weeks.

I was looking for Gold to move down starting last week. It did and  now due for a short bounce before it starts down again. 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. Gold will have a range from the week of Sept 19 through the week of October 24th.

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 8th.

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 Friday September 2nd.  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 5th 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 will oppose Neptune, the ruler of crude late in the week. Heliocentrically there are a number of transits hitting Jupiter and Neptune from Sept 2nd through Sept 4th. These may move the price of crude or at least bring the price to wider attention.

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 is currently in Virgo the sign of it's detriment.

The following chart shows the Jupiter (blue) and Neptune (grey)  price lines. These have acted as good support / resistance. Note we have stopped on the Neptune price line again.

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