SP500
For the SP500, cycle-wise November 4th was the Primary cycle trough. 1
which puts us entering the 20th
week of a nominal 18 week cycle. November 4th was the 40 week cycle trough as well.
It should be noted Primary cycles (18 weeks) most often
start with a nominal 6 week sub-cycle. The
2nd most common start is a 1/2 Primary or 9 week sub-cycles. The nominal range for the Primary cycle is
13 to 21 weeks. Currently the high of this cycle was on March 1 closing at 2396 in
the SP500. This high is very late in the cycle. It is very right translated
which by itself would be bullish.
This cycle is so late I expect the cycle to expand, probably
past the 21 week area. With the upcoming Astrological activity I expect the
markets to be volatile over the next few weeks and moving down into a trough.
The last 2 months have been very difficult to forecast.
To summarize, there was a tremendous move up from November
4, 2016. It went sideways starting in early December then up again near the Jupiter retrograde on February 6th.
From here the markets hit the Sun
conjunct Neptune transit, the Jupiter opposition Uranus and Venus retrograde. These three hitting
so close together should have given us a larger move down.
I had mentioned the middle two weeks of March 2017 have less
powerful transits. The situation is now heating up again. March 25 is the
Inferior conjunction of the Sun and Venus.
The following 3 charts show the last 3 Inferior conjunctions
of Venus and the Sun. I have circled them in red.
As you can see from the previous conjunctions, this is often
a short sharp move down.
This should start a period that is more volatile.
A couple of weeks ago I mentioned there must be a source
where large sums of money have come from to create this bullish move. It was
reported on CNBC that the FED had injected an additional 267 billion into the
markets. With the FED raising interest rates the much of the money went into
banks and financial institutions.
Next week has a
couple of more potent days particularly March 30 where we have Jupiter square Pluto.
Jupiter
square Pluto 12 year - attainment of power of all kinds, growth of
international terrorism. This is a 3 pass due to retrograde motion.
November 24, 2016 March 30, 2017 August 4, 2017
March 20th was
the Spring Equinox, the day the Sun
moves into Aries, a cardinal point. This is Western or Hermetic Astrology
as opposed to Vedic or Indian Astrology. Although we call it Western Astrology
it came from the area now known as Iraq . From here it went to Egypt then Greece
then Europe and on to North America, The first vestiges of Astrology came from
both India and the Iraq area.
While the Sun enters Aries there will be a Moon / Saturn conjunction near the
Mid-Heaven. The Moon represents the people and matters of a common or public
nature. Saturn stands for mature populations (Japan ?) , epidemics, farms, mines,
coal, minerals. Saturn can also stand for State funerals, public sorrow and
disappointment.
Neptune is close to the ascendant on the Spring Equinox, Neptune
stands for left wing politics, it is linked to mobs and secret plots, sedation,
fraud, loss, vice and liquidation. Illusion and delusion are also present. It is in Pisces the sign that it rules.
I've mentioned a number of times of a water event in the US . Pisces is a water sign.
I'm looking at this as a further pull back next week.
The Spring Equinox
chart can be used as an Astrological chart for the whole year.
This is the beginning
of the Astrological New Year. This chart is a representation of what to
expect in the coming year. You can create this chart for the countries capitol
or in my example for New York , the financial
center of the USA
and the world, for now.
Watch for potential geophysical events, violent weather or
increased conflict. Mars is the planet of war, conflict and aggression. From
other sources there may be an event or issue with water in the USA .
At this point March 1st could have been the crest of the
current Primary cycle and
March 19, 2017 +- 3
weeks, the Primary cycle trough. Early April is another possibility with 4
strong Astros which have a history of a change in trend.
The March 6, 2017
forecast was first mentioned in our blog post of November 14, 2016.
On March 7th +- 3
weeks, Saturn conjuncts the Galactic
Center . This multi
week period could define a move down. This may be very important. Bear in mind
we are in an 8 year bull market. A move down could start at any time, the above
are the most probable from an Astrological perspective.
As mentioned in previous weeks both Israel and Egypt (mid-East) may come to
the fore this year as regards to conflict and aggression. Iran and Turkey may be included as well. This may be seen before
the end of April. This is connected to the on-going Saturn / Uranus trine, a 45 year aspect which is exact again on May
19th.
Mars is active and can result in war or conflict. The US should stay
out of any conflicts as they should concentrate on growing health and legal
problems at home. If the US
does get involved it could result in many casualties.
Entering April the markets should really heat up, in
particular the first couple of weeks. This is reserved for subscribers at this
time.
I continue to watch the 24th
harmonic cycle (360 / 24) cycles. The brown squares are Sun / Saturn 15 degrees
on the following daily chart.
The last hit was on March 17th.
The next hits are March 31, 2017 then April 17th.
I have added 3 price lines to this
chart.
Saturn - black
Uranus - purple
These price lines can act as
support / resistance. Also on this chart are blue vertical line which is the 24 cd (calendar day) cycle. It has
been at highs and lows.
The date of March 1st is the same
date as the 24 Harmonic. We went down.
Looking forward I'm expecting
difficult markets in the late March through April timeframe.
Gold
December 15 should have been the
Gold low we have been looking for. This puts us in the 15th
week of the nominal 18 week cycle. Since December 15th Gold has been
trending up showing two crests of higher highs and higher lows until February
27th where we had a nominal 6 week cycle crest and headed down. Gold showed a
Doji on the close on March 10th. This is often a turn signal. It stalled for a
couple of days and then went up.
Price is now above the 15 and 45
day sma with the 15 day curling up. This could be identifying a more severe
move down in Gold. Watch closely this coming week.
Gold would benefit if the Debt
Ceiling was covered by increasing the money supply and hence, inflation may be
seen.
Gold like many markets will be
affected by the Astrological aspects from March 24th through April 21st.
Following is a daily Gold
chart with the arrows identifying retrograde and direct dates and the
Inferior and Superior Sun / Venus conjunctions. We had the Venus Retrograde date on March 4th then March 25 for the Inferior conjunction and April 15 has Venus turning
direct again. Any of these 3 dates could be a turn in Gold. I was looking
for a move down near the Venus
retrograde date of March 4th +- 3 tds which we got. It may have a little to go
but we should be aware this could be a big move.
Note the circle on the chart in the right lower area. The
bottom portion of the chart shows the planetary declination's. What is circled
are 3 planetary declination's on approx. the same day. The planets are Mercury, Venus and Uranus. This is the
same day as the Sun / Venus inferior conjunction, March 25th. The Parallels of
Declination will emphasize this period. That's a weekend so watch March 24 and
March 27 both +- a couple.
The next chart is a longer term
monthly chart showing the 7.4 year cycle in Gold. They are the red vertical
lines. Note that the 7.4 year cycle put in a low in late 2015. We are now in a
pull back but we are very early in the 7.4 year cycle which should be bullish
in the long term.
Crude
November 14 was the start of the Primary cycle. This would put us
in the 19th week of a Primary cycle which
continues to look weak and moving down. With the US shale and other projects there
is too much supply into a weak global economy. The high is still the high of
January 3rd. Price is now below the 15 and 45 day sma's and look like a recent
double bottom.
The blue horizontal lines are the average longitudes of the planets
Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto converted to price. They should act
as good support / resistance areas. That blue line currently above price is at
47.97 and I'm looking for this area to be strong resistance, when we get there.
Looking down 45.87 should act as support.
I'm watching all
aspects to Jupiter or Neptune, the
two rulers of crude. As one reader pointed out this should include both
geocentric and heliocentric aspects.
Following is a daily chart of crude
showing the price lines for the Sun
(green) and Pluto (black). Note that move down went through the green Sun
price line then bounced. We may get resistance at the black Pluto line just above
price. This is at 48.11.
I'm watching the black Pluto line
currently above price
