Financial Astrology - November 19, 2018


Our posts are now reported on the highly regarded FXStreet.com.

This post will be a little smaller than usual since many of the aspects are still in play from last week.

Summary
SP500. Volatility continues. Although the general US markets may go lower on Monday, I’m looking for the major indices to move up into the period around month-end. We are in the process of Venus, turning Direct and Mercury turning Retrograde. These two planets do not often make such moves so close together. They both have a history of market trend changes.

Gold is still under the effect of Mars entering Pisces om Nov 15th. Nov 19 has Mars square Jupiter then Neptune Direct on Nov 24. This looks like Gold will move up before month end as well. The move up in Gold appear to have started on Nov 13.

Crude's Primary cycle appears to have shorten a bit. I'm looking for a low in Crude around December 3rd. Also watch Nov 24, Dec 5th. We may see a move up during the week.

SP500
The last Primary cycle trough started on June 28, 2018 and may have completed it’s Primary cycle trough on Oct. 29, 2018. Please note, this is not definite and we could have a secondary pull back so the Primary cycle trough is not firm yet. Markets should continue to be volatile next week.

If that was the Primary cycle low then we are in the second week of a new Primary.

If the current Primary takes out the Feb 9th, 2018 low at 2,532 we may be looking at a much larger drop. I’m bring this up as a possibility. I think the low is in.

We are in a period of volatile congestion.

The recent move down was timing the 18-week Primary cycle and a 2 year cycle. The longer term cycles (2 year) can distort the smaller term cycles (18 week).

September 21 seems to be the crest of the last Primary cycle and may be the high for the 4 year cycle.

The following dates may have significant moves or start a move. The following aspects are for a reverse in trend or large range day. Watch Nov 16 through Nov 19, I’m looking for another  volatile week.

Nov 8              Jupiter enters Sagittarius
                        May involve the start of inflationary periods.
                        And increased legal activity.
Nov 15            Mars sextile Uranus as Mars enters Pisces
                        Signal of a move or change in trend
Nov 16            Venus Direct
                        Signal of a move or change in trend
                        Into weekend. Watch the Monday activity
Mercury Retrograde
                        Signal of a move or change in trend
                        Into weekend. Watch the Monday activity
Nov 19            Mars square Jupiter
                        Signal of a move or change in trend
Nov 25            Neptune Direct
                        +- 5 td's Probably a low
Nov 30            Venus opposition Uranus
                        Also a probable low.
           If the last two dates reverse I will post during the week.

As usual dates are a minimum +- 3 tds. On longer timed aspects a time frame will be included.



Note: from last week.
The low of the day on Nov 9 was exactly on the 23.6% retracement. Notice we have a number of gaps. They are on the SP500, DJIA and Nasdaq. Gaps tend to be filled meaning the markets would have to move lower at some point to fill the gaps.

Gaps have been filled

The following daily chart of the SP500 is what we have been showing under the 24 Harmonic chart. This is the basis of what we have been forecasting on.

Following is the 24 Harmonic chart we have shown for many months.



The next hits are Jan. 2, 2019 and Feb 20, 2019. The latter number is on the Uranus price line. Watch closely. We also have the Mars (red) and Jupiter (blue) crossing on Nov 14. Both are big range days.

The 9 month cycle



The above chart shows the 9 month or 39 week cycle (blue vertical lines). It was due and appears to have formed in late October. The 20 week cycle was added as well (red vertical lines). Any green lines are a combination of the 20 and 40 week cycles. The 20 week cycle was only 1 day away from the sharp move down.

The next 40 week cycle is early February 2019.

From the last few posts:
“This coming year could see an increase in geophysical activity, both earthquakes and volcanos.”

See the link under “Earthquakes”. This is an application from the USGS.

There has been a number of volcano’s erupting as well. Japan and Hawaii.

On a longer term basis the following monthly chart of the DJIA  shows the 15 year cycle (red vertical lines) and the 45 year cycle (blue lines). The 15 year is due now or took place April – June 2018. The 45 year due in Sept 2019. This is another example of a longer-term cycle possibly distorting shorter term cycles. Bear in mind they need a broad orb.



The following daily chart of the SP500 shows 2 Envelope channels. Red is the centered 
20 week envelope channel. Blue is the centered 40 week envelope channel. The dark blue squares are the Sun / Neptune square which is often a short term change in trend.

We have had this noted it was due for a sell.  Also note the dark blue squares. They are the dates of the Mars square Uranus transit.



We are entering the difficult time mentioned over the last few months.

The envelope channel charts are easy to calculate. In the above case the blue lines are based on a 40 day average but when they are plotted they are centered. For a 40 day it will be shifted by 20 days which is the ½ cycle.

The red averages are based on the 20 week so they are shifted 10 weeks or a ½ cycle.

I brought up Iran on the last post. I’ll come back to those charts on any potential signs of conflict. It is getting close. Watch the news for problems with Iran.


4 Year
Other longer-term aspects like the 4 year cycle are coming due. The SP500 4 year cycle should be due in mid to late 2019.

The Primary cycle top on Sept 21, 2018 at 2490.91 may have been the top for the 4 year cycle. This is not confirmed.

Other
Another very long term cycle, the 90 year, is potentially around 2022 +- a lot. More time is needed to confirm this cycle. The ½ cycle to the 90, the 45 year ties into the 90 and is due in the same time frame.

Gold

Gold is 65 td (trading days) away from the Primary cycle bottom on Aug 16, 2018. This could be near the end of the 2nd 6 week cycle and possibly close to the 3rd 6, week cycle.

The Primary cycle in Gold has been difficult to ascertain. There was a Primary cycle trough on Dec 12, 2017 but determining the next Primary trough has been very difficult.

We may have seen a low on Aug 16th but it must be confirmed. This was 4 trading days after the Lunar Eclipse on Aug 11.

On occasion the Primary cycle can extend away from it’s more normal 18 week length.

I’m looking for astrological aspects which have a history of changing the trend for Gold. Mars changing signs into Pisces on Nov 15  has a history of moves in Gold. So does Venus Direct, Mars sextile Uranus, Mars square Jupiter and Mercury retrograde.


Seasonally Gold is usually flat over the early summer months with a history of moving up starting in August.




Price is now just above the 15 sma and the 45 day sma. Gold price often pulls back 2 to 4 weeks after a new Primary cycle commences and then continues with a move up.



The following chart shows two daily envelope channels like the chart for the SP500 above. The blue squares are the aspects duplicate the transits noted above.  I have noted the key dates on the chart.



The following chart shows a 27 cd (calendar day) cycle (blue vertical lines). The last being Nov 6, 2018. The next is Dec 3rd.

The Moon takes 27 days to orbit the Earth and the Sun takes 27 days to revolve once at the Sun’s equator.

The red lines headed up are the Mars price lines. Gold had been moving sideways and have found both resistance and support at the Mars price line. The darker red Mars lines are the main aspect. Moving below the red Mars price line was bearish now we need to move above the red Mars price line as a positive sign for a move up in Gold. Gold may follow the red, Mars price line up. Watch closely.

Remember the list of aspects that could affect Gold above.

The small blue x’s on the chart show when heliocentric Mercury is in Sagittarius. We often see changes in trend in Gold when Mercury exits heliocentric Sagittarius.

Looking at this whole chart it is based on a 24 harmonic. If you count each line from one darker red line to the next you will find there are 15 of them. 15 * 24 degrees = 360 degrees.



The following chart shows when Mars enters a new sign.(red squares). It often affects Gold. Mars is moving into Pisces on Nov 15th.



Crude

Oil  put in a top on Oct. 3rd. I’m looking at some longer term cycles and technicals to get a handle on future direction.

Price is now lower than the June 18, 2018 low of the Primary cycle. This can be very telling for crude. Watch this for a possible bear market starting in crude.

Crude started up on June 18 when Neptune turned retrograde.

Watch the following dates for Crude

Nov 19             Mars square Jupiter

Nov 24             Neptune Direct

Nov 29             Jupiter semi-square Pluto



On the next chart note how price often follows the Sun price line up (green line) and often stops and reverses at the Sun price line or the Pluto price line. We often get big range days.  The red vertical lines are the 40 cd (calendar day) lines. Crude price just bounced on a Pluto price line (blue)

Watch the green Sun price line and see if crude follows that price line up.


And finally a weekly chart of crude showing a 17 / 34 month cycle. Red vertical lines.

  1. I was looking for a possible double bottom. The low on Oct 29 is the first low at 2603.54. If the latter is broken watch the low back on
    Feb 9, 2018 at 2532.69. If this level is broken watch out below.
