SP500

For the SP500, cycle-wise I’m looking at March 27^th as the Primary cycle trough and April 13^th as a double bottom.

This puts us entering the 13^th week of a new Primary cycle. Instead of a nominal 6 week cycle I’m looking at the other possibility which would be a ½ Primary cycle (9 ½ week) cycle high.

From last months subscriber letter.

“I’m looking at two possible paths going forward.

1.)    A low in April, then a bounce and then down into June / early- July.

2.)    Down in April which continues down into June / July”

Option 1 seems to be unfolding with the low in April 13^th and now new all-time highs and looking for a turn.

Jupiter turning Direct on June 9th then Neptune turning retrograde on June 16^th seem to usher in a period of confusion. These two planets, Jupiter and Neptune are the co-rulers of crude which has been heading down.

Uranus will be semi square Neptune from mid-July through October. This will be a longer period delusion / deception. It may be more like a fog that has descended that is confusing. For the markets people won’t know what the direction will be. A more precise description will be made available once we go through the changes associated with the Astrological aspect in late July and mid-August.

Mars will be active next week. We may expect some conflict or violent events.

We have Mars square Jupiter, Mars trine Neptune (those two co-rulers again) and Mercury conjunct Mars.

Note the 15 (red) sma and 45 day (blue) sma are both below price but moving up.

The last week of the month should be more volatile as there are a number of more potent Astrological signatures.

Another cycle that is coming up is the 50 week cycle. These are shown as the pink vertical lines. The next one is by date is July 24^th but I would say July or August. As I would expect a 10-12% decline this time may be unusual in that  the markets have been distorted by Central Bank money.

I had shown the 7 years chart some time ago. Following is that chart. The vertical lines are the 84 months (7 year). The short red lines are the potential orb of influence. You can see the current 7 year is very overdue.

We still have:

-           the 45 year Saturn / Uranus trine       Next due November 11

-          The 12 year Jupiter /  Pluto Square     Next due August 4^th

-          The 14 year Jupiter / Uranus opposition Next due Sept. 28

These longer-term aspects need a broad orb and should be +- a few weeks at least. They have been described in the subscriber report.

In addition to the above there is a potent transit between transiting Saturn square the USA natal Neptune.

Hard aspects to the USA's Neptune and Mars often coincide with financial disruption. Saturn will square the USA Neptune and oppose it's natal Mars 3 times in 2017. January, July and October.

The effect of Saturn square Neptune is deflationary. With the buildup of credit in the economy the above aspects could bring on defaults, cash shortages putting stress on the credit markets. Any signs of deflation or defaults should cause the central banks to print. Inflation is quite possible after that.

I’m expecting volatility with both ups and downs but moving forward I’m looking for a low probably late-June or July. after reviewing the Astrological aspects, although it could be as late as July26 or August.21^st.

The following chart shows the 9 and 18 month cycles. The red vertical lines show the

9-month cycle. Every 2^nd line is the 18-month cycle. Note that two cycles ago (the 18 month) was much deeper.

The blue line is a flag formation which is pointed to 2475.

The next 9 / 18 month cycle is early August but this needs a broad orb and could occur in July. If this is marking a low nearby the market would have to turn down in the next few weeks to be in a position to put in a trough in late July or early August. The Primary cycle is also due in early August.

The following chart shows the price line for the Earth and Jupiter. The price line takes the longitude of the planet and converts it to price. The Earth price line is green and the Jupiter price line blue. Note they both have acted as support and resistance. Also, the markets often make sharp move when the two price lines cross. I’m watching to see if 2450 holds. That’s the price line for Jupiter.

The following chart of the SP500 includes the heliocentric Bradley indicator (blue line). There are two possible change in trend dates are June 23 and June 30^th. After that look at July 3 then July 13^th.

I continue to watch the 24th harmonic cycle (360 / 24) cycles for short term turns. The brown squares are Sun / Saturn 24 degrees on the following daily chart. The blue vertical lines are 24 cd’s (calendar days).

The next hits are June 29 which is on the 24 cd cycle. The latter could start a change in trend. The next hit is July 14^th.

I have added 3 price lines to this chart.

Saturn - black

Uranus - purple

Neptune - light blue

These price lines can act as support / resistance. It has been at highs and lows.

May 12 was the day the general population became aware of the Cyberwar that's been going on for some time.

I brought up the August 21 Solar Eclipse in the May market letter. This should bring significant events in that time frame. In the mean time, I will monitor transits that may hit the location of the Solar Eclipse. An example in this blog is May 15^th when the North Node transits over the point of the eclipse. 

The path of this very important Eclipse is seen in the following:

   

I added the chart of Iran to this post. The center circle is the Chart for Iran when the Ayatollah Khomeini returned to Iran. The outer circle is the planetary position for June 24, 2017.

Note the forming square between the transiting Mars and Natal Pluto. Also note transiting Mars is moving into square with the natal Pluto which is close to it’s Ascendant. Transiting Neptune is approaching a conjunction with the South Node in the 5^th house. Possibly confusing education or communication.

There is going to be trouble in Iran in the next few months. July / August may be it.

Gold

We put in a low in Gold on December 15th, 2016 which was the 7.4-year cycle low in Gold

Gold appears to have put in a Primary cycle low on May 9^th. which would put us in the 7th week of a new Primary cycle.

Gold most often starts a Primary cycle with a nominal 6 week sub-cycle. Gold is currently 32 td’s along and appears to have just put in a nominal 6 week cycle trough. If so Gold should continue up next week. If it turns down there’s trouble ahead.  This is very important. We want to see a 6 week cycle trough and then a move up. If we continue down Gold may be falling into a longer term cycle, the 34 / 17 month cycle. For now I’m waiting to confirm a 6 week cycle trough on June 20^th.

I am looking at precious metals being the potential trade of the year. The “Trade of the Year” but there will be pullbacks. We do not want to start a slide into the 17 /34 month cycle or our outlook will change dramatically.

The following chart shows a 27 cd (calendar day) cycle (blue vertical lines)

The red lines headed up are the Mars price line. Watch the Mars Price Line to see if it acts as support / resistance and watch the 27cd cycle, next cycle July 13^th.

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 early in the 7.4 year cycle which should be bullish in the long term.

Crude

We had May 5th as the Primary cycle low. I’m changing the Primary cycle start date to March 22 which results in a Primary cycle of 89 td’s from Nov 14, 2016 to March 22, 2017. This puts us entering the 14^th week of the new Primary cycle.

We broke through the Planetary averages (Jupiter through Pluto – blue lines) around the 45.00 area and continued further down. This may have just put in a nominal 6 week cycle trough but on June 21st but it’s too early to confirm.

If it is the nominal 6 week cycle low I would expect a bounce here with targets of 45.75 (the Planetary average longitude) or 49.00 (the 50% retracement of the move from Nov 14, 2016 to Feb 21, 2017.

Bear in mind the current Primary cycle has turned negative with the nominal 6 week cycle lows, lower than the Primary cycle start date of March 22^nd. The upcoming Primary cycle will probably be negative and lower than where we are now.

There are a number of aspects involving Jupiter and Neptune, the co-rulers of crude, just completed but still in orb and can have an effect. There have also been aspects to Pluto which rules all things from the ground.

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.

I'm watching all aspects to Jupiter or Neptune, the two rulers of crude. Crude can also be effected by Pluto as it rules “things from the ground”. Pluto turned retrograde on

April 20^th, in the middle of the move down.

Following is a daily chart of crude showing the price lines for the Sun (green) and Pluto (black). Note that recent move down. It stopped or slowed down at each Pluto Price Line and is sitting on the Sun (green) Price Line.

I’m looking for crude to follow up the green Sun price line on the chart. I also expect a further move down once this bounce off the 6 week cycle is complete.

Following is a chart (Sagittarius Rising) of the USA in the inner wheel and the current time in the outer wheel.

There is a forming square which will affect the affairs of the USA over the summer and fall months (mentioned above). This is the square between transiting Saturn and natal Neptune. Note Saturn is retrograde.

The traditional influences are illusion, delusion, confusion, lethargy and possibly depression. It is as if everything has taken on a dull sheen. If you were a writer you would call it the experience of the writer's block. Rather than force matters, take some time to contemplate your life in a gentle, reflective light.

From a Mundane Astrology perspective, it covers socialism, and left wing political ideas. It is associated with mobs, secret plots, fraud, swindling, bogus companies, loss and liquidation. This same aspect was near exact during the election period. There are more cycles building during July / August period. More on this in the next subscribers report.
