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

The next 1/2 year Forecast Dates (July - December 2016) are available.

SP500
For the SP500, cycle-wise Feb 11 was the Primary cycle trough.  1 that started on Aug 24th. Feb 11th was a slightly lower low than Jan 20th low. Jan 20th was the low for a number of other indices. Feb 11th started a new nominal 18 week cycle in the SP500 and we are entering the 19th week. The nominal 6 week, there are often 3, 6 week cycles in the nominal 18 week cycle. The range is 5 to 7 weeks.

Another possibility is May 19th was a short (14 week) trough for the nominal 18 week cycle and we are now entering the 4th week of a Primary cycle that started on May 19th. We had noted May 19th as being important as it was a day for the 24 harmonic between the Sun and Saturn (chart further down) we have been following.

We'll treat this as 19th week of an older cycle but may change on quick notice. Subscribers will receive an ALERT if the Primary cycle is changed. If this is the older Primary which started Feb 11 and now in the 19th week I would like to see it come down lower than the May 19th low at 2025.91.

If you review the 1st half Forecast dates that were completed in November 2015 you will find the
June 13 date as a CIT (Change In Trend). Also if you look at page 3 of the March 2016 Subscriber Report you will see the first mention of June 13 +- 3 weeks as a cycle low.

Currently June 8th looks like the Primary cycle top. If so then we can look for a 2 to 5 week decline. We are going into the 2nd week from June 8th so a low is expected in the next 3 weeks. With the Astros ahead I'm looking for the low to complete before July 8th..

Notice that price is now below the 15 and 45 day sma. The 15 day is higher than the 45 day sma's but curling over. Also note price was below the 15 and 45 day sma at the May 19th low and the 15 day sma was lower than the 45 day.



There are some important events coming up.

June 23            BREXIT         (maybe)

On the Astrology front this coming week has powerful aspects on June 20th.

They are:
Jupiter conjunct the North Node
Venus quintile the North Node and Venus quintile Jupiter
Mercury opposition Saturn and Mercury squared Pluto.

It's quite possible the Mercury aspects just mentioned set off the Saturn / Neptune square which was exact on June 17th. This is the 36 year aspect we have been mentioning. The last time it was in the late 70's / early 80's. The issues back then were high interest rates and a lack crude with high prices. The same aspect 36 years later is affecting interest rates and crude once again only this time reversed with low crude prices, an abundance of crude, and low interest rates.

Saturn square Neptune
-in the middle of a 3 pass, 2 exact hits to come this year
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.

The Saturn waning square to Neptune was exact on June 17 and will have one more pass on Sept 10, 2016. I should mention there are a number of troublesome aspects starting late August through October. Before we get there we should see a rising market once this current Primary cycle is complete.

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.

The above description of the Saturn / Neptune square has been repeated for a number of weeks. Think of the events that have taken place recently with mass murders in the U.S., alligators in Disneyland and the murder of  a UK member of parliament. If these events seem unreal look to Neptune. Last week it turned retrograde and then in exact square to Saturn. Coming up is Brexit. Look for dishonesty and deceit by one of the parties or both. I also expect the fear index to be played up in the days leading into the Brexit vote, currently June 23rd.

After this coming week we have Mars turning direct on June 29th and on the following week the Sun trines Neptune and then opposes Pluto. Pluto has a strong influence in early July as does Venus which translates the fading Uranus / Pluto square. This is the square, currently moving out of orb, which governed much of the past 3-4 years. It was about keeping or obtaining power amongst other things.

Looking for dates for the Primary cycle trough and turn up I'm looking at:
June 20th and 27th
July 4th, 7th
All +- 2 td's.

Note, on the above chart, the Stochastic/RSI indicator (bottom indicator on the chart) over the course of the last week has moved from being overbought and is now in the oversold area.

I've noticed the Bradley indicator (geocentric and heliocentric) has been acting quite well as a forecasting tool. This indicator is often misunderstood. I'll include descriptions and the turns it is forecasting in the July subscribers report.

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. The final trough should be in the next 3 weeks (dates above).



The next 2 charts are daily charts of the SP500, and the Russell 2000. The horizontal blue lines are the average longitude of the planets Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto on both charts This average is converted to price and displayed on the charts. Notice how well they have acted as support and resistance. Thursday price went through 2058. I'm looking for a low in the 2010 - 2013 area.



The longer it takes to put in this trough the greater the possibility that another longer term cycle is going to hit. This cycle is mentioned in the subscribers report. Typically the longer term cycles will have a deeper trough.

The next chart is the Russell 2000. This index is subject to far less manipulation than the SP500. Notice how well it respects the Astrological average price lines. Here, the blue lines again are the average longitude of the planets Jupiter through Pluto converted to price. The Russell put in a low on May 19th and touched the planetary average line. Again, it is possible May 19th was a shortened cycle but I'm going with the 19th week cycle for now.



Other longer term cycles that we have been following may have found their trough on Jan 20 or Feb 11. This would include the 4 year and 6.5 year cycles. To confirm these cycles I'm waiting for the cycle low I'm expecting in June / July 2016. If Jan 20 and Feb 11 are the lows this would help explain the sharp move up starting in February. Assuming the 2009 low was an 18 year cycle low, we may be looking at a 9 year cycle low late 2017 - 2018.

The following daily chart of the DJIA shows some of the important short term aspects coming up in June / early July. Note the channel which started in January. We got the price break through the bottom of this channel as mentioned. Price is now close to the 23.6% Fibonacci retracement based on the high at May 20, 2015 to the low on Aug 24, 2015. The aspects are as follows.

Blue Squares               - Saturn square Neptune
Green Squares             - Mars parallel Pluto
Orange Squares           - Jupiter trine Pluto
Light Blue Squares     - Jupiter conjunct North Node
Red Arrow                  - Mars turning Direct



The first week in July has a number of potent aspects as well. It should be a volatile ride. Pluto is emphasized so we may see power plays. Watch for the effect of great wealth trying to direct the outcome of events. In addition to market events there are Mars / Pluto aspects which often occur close to violent events.

Neptune turned retrograde on June 13th. Mars will turn direct on June 29th. Mars and Neptune energies don't mix. While Neptune can be illusion and deceit Mars can be fighting or a "War of Words". I'm looking for this in Europe before and after the Brexit event and ongoing tensions in the USA presidential contest.

Harmonics
I continue to watch the 24th harmonic cycle (360 / 24) cycle which are the brown squares on the following daily chart. It just hit on June 17 the same day as the Saturn waning square to Neptune. Monday maybe very important.



The next date for the Sun / Saturn 24th harmonic is July 1st. Another date possibly signaling a change in direction.

Gold
I'm looking at March 28th as the start of a new nominal 18 week cycle   1 trough.

This puts us entering the 13th week of the Primary cycle. There was a huge move on June 3rd after the poor Employment report. Not surprising with all the Jupiter and Neptune aspects, particularly the Sun square Neptune. The stock market does not like surprises or uncertainty and we have a few weeks of both coming up.

Fron last weeks blog post.
"Gold on the other hand may have very positive moves under the same conditions."

Gold has followed general Mars transits in Scorpio. Starting with Mars entering Scorpio in early January 2016 Gold went up. The move ended when Mars entered Sagittarius  on March 5th. Gold then went sideways until Mars turned retrograde on April 17th.

On May 27 Mars reentered Scorpio moving backwards. The red x's on the following daily chart of Gold show the effect of the Mars transits.



Mars will turn direct on June 29th and leave Scorpio for Sagittarius once again on August 2nd where Gold has a history of moving down or flat. Gold should remain positive this week but once we get closer to the Mars direct date of June 29th I would be cautious.

Price is now above the 15 sma and 45 sma.  Both moving averages have turned up with the 15 day above to move above the 45 day sma. Gold may benefit from the uncertainty over the next few weeks.

The red vertical lines are the 14 cd cycle which has been at tops and bottoms for short term trend changes. The next date is June 30th.

On the following daily Gold charts there are the Venus (green), Jupiter (blue). These are the longitude of the planet converted to price. Gold often makes a big move close to when the Venus and Jupiter price lines cross. The next cross is July 1st. This date is coming up alot.

Watch this area as Gold may follow the Venus price line (green) up into the July 1st date. Pluto is active by transit. Although not a direct ruler, Pluto has an effect on Gold price changes. Gold prices may get volatile.




Crude
Feb 11 had another lower low and is now marked a Primary cycle trough which has us starting the 19h week of the nominal 18 week cycle.

Mentioned many times Jupiter and Neptune are the co-rulers of crude. Neptune is in Pisces, the sign that it rules, making it stronger. Neptune is highlighted here with it's move to retrograde motion and the Saturn's square to Neptune.

Being in the 19th week, we may have seen the crest on June 8th but need to see more price action to confirm. Watch the days around June 27th and July 3 for a potential trough. Much of the move up has been effected by production problems in Nigeria and other oil producers. Possibly another case of managed confusion.

We have 1 more exact hit of the Jupiter / Pluto trine, that is June 26th. The previous dates were Oct 9, 2015 and March 16, 2015. This aspect has tended to be near highs. I suspect this will be near a Primary cycle turn if it has not already been in by then.



The next daily chart of crude has the Jupiter (blue) and Neptune (grey) Price Lines. These are the two planets that rule crude. Price is following both price lines sideways. I'm looking for a move and probably down first then up.

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". The next date is July 1st hmmmm. I'm looking for crude to break through the Jupiter and Neptune price lines at 48.00 and 47.75 approx. for signs of a move to a Primary cycle trough. Look at MACD on the following chart.



I've been experimenting with another Astro / Gann technique to forecast price. I emphasize experimenting so watch oil price but I wouldn't trade based on this forecast until I have more history.

Oil Price Forecast Test
July 7 price range 52.40 - 56.80

SP500
For the SP500, cycle-wise Feb 11 was the Primary cycle trough.  1 that started on Aug 24th. Feb 11th was a slightly lower low than Jan 20th low. Jan 20th was the low for a number of other indices. Feb 11th started a new nominal 18 week cycle in the SP500 and we are entering the 18th week. The nominal 6 week, there are often 3, 6 week cycles in the nominal 18 week cycle. The range is 5 to 7 weeks.

Another possibility is May 19th was a short (14 week) trough for the nominal 18 week cycle and we are now entering the 3rd week of a Primary cycle that started on May 19th. We had noted May 19th as being important as it was a day for the 24 harmonic between the Sun and Saturn.

We'll treat this as the 18th week of an older cycle but may change on quick notice. Subscribers will receive an ALERT if the Primary cycle is changed. If this is the older Primary which started Feb 11 and now in the 18th week I would like to see it come down lower than the May 19th low at 2025.91,

Watch the SP500 closely, last Friday's action may be either the start of the slide into the 18 week cycle trough or it is the first cycle trough of a newer Primary cycle which started on May 19th.

Notice that price is now at the same level as  the 15 day sma and the 15 is higher than the 45 day sma's,  If this is the 18th week we should start seeing price move below both averages and the 15 day sma lower than the 45 day sma.

Remember the nominal 18 week or Primary cycle has a range of +- 3 weeks so the nominal 18 week cycle is due May 30 - July 1st. This may set off another cycle which was in the subscribers report.

There are some important events coming up.
June 14            China may enter the "Emerging Market Index".
June 15            FED meeting (rate hike ? doubtful)
June 17            OPEX
June 23            BREXIT

On the Astrology front this coming week has two powerful aspects we have been talking about for some time. They are:

June 13           Neptune Stationary Retrograde (very slow moving planet)
                        Neptune is in Pisces, the sign that it rules. Pisces is a mutable, water sign.

June 17           Saturn waning square Neptune. (a 36 year cycle)
                        Saturn is in Sagittarius ( a mutable, fire sign).
                        Neptune, as above.

Further on in the month there are a number of powerful aspects. This is not the time for important policy changing events

Thorough descriptions are in the subscribers report and brief descriptions in previous blog posts.

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.

Saturn aspecting Neptune also seems to bring up diseases, epidemics and poisons. Saturn here can break the illusion that Neptune has cast.

On the next chart I've had June 13th as an estimated date for the nominal 18 week cycle low for many weeks. Just look at this as the center of a time window from the 15th week to the 23rd week for the Primary / nominal 18 week cycle low. The next green vertical line is the 45 cd cycle on June 28th.



Also note the Stochastic/RSI indicator (bottom indicator on the chart) is turning over in the overbought area.

Another important point when you are watching price movement intra-day. Someone or some thing has been pouring in money into  the SP500 at critical times. Quite possibly in other indices as well, but I've been watching the SP500.

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. The final trough could be next week or it may wait until early July.



Saturn square Neptune
-in the middle of a 3 pass, 2 exact hits to come this year
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 horoscope.

The next 2 charts are daily charts of the SP500, and the Russell 2000. The horizontal blue lines are the average longitude of the planets Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto on both charts This average is converted to price and displayed on the charts. Notice how well they have acted as support and resistance. The SP500 has moved down the last 2 days.



The next chart is the Russell 2000. This index is subject to far less manipulation than the SP500. Notice how well it respects the Astrological average price lines. Here, the blue lines again are the average longitude of the planets Jupiter through Pluto converted to price. The Russell put in a low on May 19th and touched the planetary average line. Again, it is possible May 19th was a shortened cycle but I'm going with the 18th week cycle for now.



Other longer term cycles that we have been following may have found their trough on Jan 20 or Feb 11. This would include the 4 year and 6.5 year cycles. To confirm these cycles I'm waiting for the cycle low I'm expecting in June 2016. If Jan 20 and Feb 11 are the lows this would help explain the sharp move up starting in February. Assuming the 2009 low was an 18 year cycle low, we may be looking at a 9 year cycle low late 2017 - 2018.

Neither Jan 20 nor Feb 11 were very deep lows. They were either shallow or a deeper low is in front of us. This is important. For the SP500 I'm looking for the mid-June to early July low as being the first Primary cycle low of the 4 year cycle. The range for this low is from May 30 to July 4th. Bear in mind there is a possibility the 4 year is in front of us. I'm looking for a move down to the nominal 18 week trough.

The following daily chart of the DJIA shows some of the important aspects coming up in June. Note the channel which started in January. We want to see price break through the bottom of this channel. The aspects are as follows.

Blue Squares               - Saturn square Neptune
Green Squares             - Mars parallel Pluto
Orange Squares           - Jupiter trine Pluto
Light Blue Squares     - Jupiter conjunct North Node
Red Arrow                  - Mars turning Direct



It should be a volatile ride.

Neptune will also turn retrograde on June 13th. Mars will turn direct on June 29th. Mars and Neptune energies don't mix. While Neptune can be illusion and deceit Mars can be fighting or a "War of Words". I'm looking for this in Europe before and after the Brexit event and ongoing tensions in the USA presidential contest.

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 hit is June 17 the same day as the Saturn waning square to Neptune. The next two weeks appear very important.



Gold
I'm now looking at March 28th as the start of a new nominal 18 week cycle   1 trough.

This puts us entering the 12th week of the Primary cycle. There was a huge move on June 3rd after the poor Employment report. Not surprising with all the Jupiter and Neptune aspects, particularly the Sun square Neptune. The stock market does not like surprises or uncertainty and we have a few weeks of both coming up. Gold on the other hand may have very positive moves under the same conditions.

Gold has followed general Mars transits in Scorpio. Starting with Mars entering Scorpio in early January 2016 Gold went up. The move ended when Mars entered Sagittarius  on March 5th. Gold then went sideways until Mars turned retrograde on April 17th.

On May 27 Mars reentered Scorpio moving backwards. The red x's on the following daily chart of Gold show when Mars is in Scorpio.



Following is our normal daily Gold chart. We are in the 12th week. As mentioned Mars will turn direct on June 29th and leave Scorpio for Sagittarius once again on August 2nd where Gold has a history of moving down or flat.



Price is now above the 15 sma and 45 sma.  Both moving averages have turned up with the 45 day above the 15 day sma. Gold may benefit from the uncertainty over the next few weeks. An increase in US interest rates would at this point be a surprise with a negative effect on precious metals.

The red vertical lines are the 14 cd cycle which has been at tops and bottoms for short term trend changes.

On the following daily Gold charts there are the Venus (green), Jupiter (blue) and Uranus (purple) price lines. These are the longitude of the planet converted to price. As so often happens Gold made a big move close to when the Venus and Jupiter price lines cross.

Watch this area early next week and see if Gold breaks above the Uranus (purple) and Jupiter (blue) price lines. These may act as resistance.




Crude
Feb 11 had another lower low and is now marked a Primary cycle trough which has us starting the 18h week of the nominal 18 week cycle.

After a strong move up there have been 2 days of moves down. We are in the range of a Primary cycle with multiple Neptune and Jupiter transits. Mentioned many times Jupiter and Neptune are the co-rulers of crude. Neptune is in Pisces, the sign that it rules, making it stronger.

Being in the 18th week, we may have seen the crest on June 8th but need to see more price action to confirm. Watch the days around June 13th and 17th.

We have 1 more exact hit of the Jupiter / Pluto trine, that is June 26th. The previous dates were Oct 9, 2015 and March 16, 2015. This aspect has tended to be near highs. I suspect this will be near a Primary cycle low if it has not already been in by then.



The horizontal blue lines are the planetary average longitude of Jupiter through Pluto, converted to price. The vertical blue lines are a 10 cd (calendar day) which has been close to highs and lows.

The next daily chart of crude has the Jupiter (blue) and Neptune (grey) Price Lines. These are the two planets that rule crude. Price is sitting between the Jupiter and Neptune price lines.

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". Looking back they do appear at short term changes in trend. I'm looking for crude to break through the Jupiter and Neptune price lines at 48.00 and 47.75 approx. for signs of a move to a Primary cycle trough.

SP500
For the SP500, cycle-wise Feb 11 was the Primary cycle trough.  1 that started on Aug 24th. Feb 11th was a slightly lower low than Jan 20th low. Jan 20th was the low for a number of other indices. Feb 11th started a new nominal 18 week cycle in the SP500 and we are entering the 17th week. The nominal 6 week, there are often 3, 6 week cycles in the nominal 18 week cycle. The range is 5 to 7 weeks.

Another possibility is May 19th was a short (14 week) trough for the nominal 18 week cycle and we are now entering the 3rd week of a Primary cycle that started on May 19th. We had noted May 19th as being important as it was a day for the 24 harmonic between the Sun and Saturn.

We'll treat this as the 17th week of an older cycle but may change on quick notice. Subscribers will receive an ALERT if the Primary cycle is changed.

Notice that price is above the 15 day sma and 45 day sma's,  If this is the 17th week we should be seeing price move below both averages.

From last weeks subscriber report.:
"June 3 Sun / Saturn 24th harmonic
Short term changes in trend.
June 3 Venus waxing square Neptune
Another signature that typically identifies a change in general market trends.
June 3 Venus opposition Saturn
This needs a wider orb but often points to a period where market troughs appear. Needs a 1-2 week orb.
June 4 Sun waning square Jupiter
Strong history of occurring at market turns given a wide orb."

Last week we showed a chart with the Sun/Saturn 24th harmonic (brown square) and the Sun square Jupiter (red square) on the same date is the Sun squaring Jupiter often a powerful market mover. Following is the update chart.



With the poor Employment report on June 3rd, I thought we would go lower. Looking at an intraday chart we see a recovery after the first hour for the SP500. This is showing strength although I can't imagine who would be buying immediately after such a poor jobs report.

On the next chart I've had June 13th as an estimated date for the nominal 18 week cycle low for many weeks. Just look at this as the centre of a time window from the 15th week to the 23rd week for the Primary / nominal 18 week cycle low. The next black vertical line (June 6th) is the 39 cd cycle which has been near highs and down. Note Stochastics, the bottom indicator, is turning over.



We are in an interesting and possibly difficult period for the whole month of June.

The volatile aspects continue with both the Sun and Venus in waning square to Jupiter on June 4th.  Both of these transits have a history of Primary cycle turns

Also on June 4th the Sun is on the heliocentric nodes of Uranus. The latter is very close to a New Moon on June 4th at 14'GM53". The New Moon is perigee, the Moon's closest path to Earth for this orbit. Watch out for violent weather or geophysical upsets.

This is in loose opposition to Saturn, remembering Saturn continues in a T-Square with Jupiter and Neptune so deceit and illusion should also continue. The New Moon is very close to the position of Saturn on 9/11 where it was opposing Pluto in Sagittarius.

On June 6th the Sun conjuncts Venus (superior conjunction). The superior conjunction has Venus on the far side of the Sun. There could be some of dishonesty regarding money or policies. Venus is also at 0 degrees of Latitude, an event that does not happen very often.

Sometimes it's best to take interpretation literally. In this case Venus is blocked out, it's on the other side of the Sun. Hidden matters dealing with money or policies may be the theme.

This date has some history for Israel. 49 years ago. June 6, 1967 was the start of the 6 day war.

There are other aspects but this should suffice to cover most of the activity.

Speaking of history on June 4th will have transiting Saturn on the "USA Sagittarius Rising" chart Saturn will be on the Ascendant. Saturn is still the apex of a T-square with Jupiter and Neptune, lies and deceit. Saturn is also the planet of karmic justice. The New Moon of June 4th will be on the Saturn position of Sept 11th. Interesting that Sept 11, 2001 is back in the news again.

Also interesting that transiting Pluto, the planet of hidden power and influence through wealth has just entered the 2nd house using the USA Sagittarius rising chart. There could be an explosive event in front of us do to the release of secret information.

So we have potentially two interesting events for Israel and the USA on the weekend of June 4-6 could be very interesting. Watch this closely.

I suspect a major period or falsehoods and potentially some found out over the next month and I mean through June. The FED rate hike seems impossible with the recent unemployment report.

There is also a grand trine forming between Mercury, Jupiter (North Node) and Pluto. Interestingly these are in Cardinal, Fixed and Mutable signs.

There has been an increase in lies and falsehoods. With Neptune active by transit it may take some time for the truth to appear. As someone said, "There's is never only one cockroach."

With the longer term market cycles we use the Astrological aspects and Astrological events to determine a more exact time. Note: I have taken off the brief description of the Uranus / Pluto waning square. Longer term geocentric Astrological cycles that are coming up include:

On the following weekly chart of the DJIA, the red squares are Jupiter square Saturn and the green squares are Saturn square Neptune. It's between these two events that I have been looking for the Primary cycle low. That is between May 26, Jupiter square Saturn and June 17, Saturn square Neptune and I'm leaning to the June 17th date +- 1 week.

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 horoscope.

The next 2 charts are daily charts of the SP500, and the Russell 2000. The horizontal blue lines are the average longitude of the planets Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto on both charts This average is converted to price and displayed on the charts. Notice how well they have acted as support and resistance. The SP500 seems to be stopped in the 2104 area.



The next chart is the Russell 2000. This index is subject to far less manipulation than the SP500. Notice how well it respects the Astrological average price lines. It's too bad we have to bring up manipulation but the reality is, it happens. Here, the blue lines again are the average longitude of the planets Jupiter through Pluto converted to price. The Russell put in a low on May 19th and touched the planetary average line. Again, it is possible May 19th was a shortened cycle but I'm going with the 17th week cycle for now.



Other longer term cycles that we have been following may have found their trough on Jan 20 or Feb 11. This would include the 4 year and 6.5 year cycles. To confirm these cycles I'm waiting for the cycle low I'm expecting in June 2016. If Jan 20 and Feb 11 are the lows this would help explain the sharp move up starting in February. Assuming the 2009 low was an 18 year cycle low, we may be looking at a 9 year cycle low late 2017 - 2018.

Neither Jan 20 nor Feb 11 were very deep lows. They were either shallow or a deeper low is in front of us. This is very important. For the SP500 I'm looking for the mid to late June low as being the first Primary cycle low of the 4 year cycle. The range for this low is from May 30 to July 4th. Bear in mind there is a possibility the 4 year is in front of us. I'm looking for a move down to the nominal 18 week trough.

Gold
I'm now looking at March 28th as the start of a new nominal 18 week cycle   1 trough.

This puts us entering the 11th week of the Primary cycle. There was a huge move on June 3rd after the poor Employment report. Not surprising with all the Jupiter and Neptune aspects, particularly the Sun square Neptune. Neptune will also turn retrograde mid month.

From last weeks report, Mars, which is retrograde, has now reentered Scorpio where Gold prices often rise and Mars was in Scorpio for most of the rise in Gold from late 2015.



Price is now just below the 15 sma and 45 sma.  We would expect price to be below these two averages as we approach the Primary cycle low which could be a number of weeks away.

On the following daily Gold charts there are the Venus (green), Jupiter (blue) and Uranus (purple) price lines. These are the longitude of the planet converted to price. As so often happens Gold made a big move close to when the Venus and Jupiter price lines cross.

Watch this area early next week and see if Gold breaks above the Jupiter (blue) price lines.


Crude
Feb 11 had another lower low and is now marked a Primary cycle trough which has us starting the 17h week of the nominal 18 week cycle.

Crude has made a strong move up from the Feb 11 lows although increased consumption and decreased production don't appear to be playing a role.

As noted above the planets ruling crude, Jupiter and Neptune are in multiple aspect the next two weeks with Jupiter being in a grand square and grand trine.

As seen on the following chart, crude has been going sideways for the past 2 weeks. It sits on the planetary average (Jupiter through Pluto) longitude converted to price (blue line)

Being in the 17th week, I suspect we are approaching the crest for this crude cycle and may have seen it on May 26th. Watch the days around June 6th and the week of
June 13th. Neptune is involved in multiple aspects over the next few weeks..

We have 1 more exact hit of the Jupiter / Pluto trine, that is June 26th. The previous dates were Oct 9, 2015 and March 16, 2015. This aspect has tended to be near highs. I suspect this will be after a Primary cycle low.



The next daily chart of crude has the Jupiter (blue) and Neptune (grey) Price Lines. These are the two planets that rule crude. Price is sitting between the Jupiter and Neptune price lines.

The red squares are the 24th harmonic between the Sun and Neptune. Amongst other things this harmonic is for a "change in trend". Looking back they do appear at short term changes in trend. I'm looking for crude to break through the Jupiter and Neptune price lines for signs of a move to a Primary cycle trough.
