Financial Astrology December 10, 2012

When I first looked at this week I thought it would be the start of a fairly significant downtrend. I’m still expecting such a move but probably a few weeks later with a larger low late January / early February 2013. The upcoming week looks very volatile with the possibility of a smaller down move than originally anticipated.

The following chart shows the primary cycle (nominal 18 week cycle) put in a low on Nov 16, 2012. This was actually an extended primary cycle as it was 24 weeks from the primary low on June 4^th. Cycles are normally bullish at the beginning and therefore, based on this cycle, it would look like more upside in the SP500 based on this cycle. Other factors point to a pull back.

It appears Gold and Silver made primary cycle lows on Nov 5, 2012 and Crude on Nov 7, 2012.

Beyond the market cycles mentioned above this coming week has a number of significant Astros. Monday evening Dec 10th the Sun will be quintile Neptune (a Quintile is 72 degrees) and has had a recent history of strong down moves. The following chart shows the Sun Neptune Quintiles (red circles). The chart also shows Mercury transiting through Sagittarius (blue x’s). Mercury in colourful energetic Sag can result in big price swings in many markets. There is another cycle hitting on Dec 10^th as well. I’m just mentioning this as I’m still testing it’s consistency.

On Tuesday Dec 11^th Mercury squares Neptune. This is almost the same position it held at the Nov 13^th Solar eclipse. This can mean a number of things, lies and deceit seems to be emphasized.Since we brought up lies and deceit there is a FOMC meeting ending Dec 12 with the chairman speaking around 2:00pm. This could tie into the Uranus direct and unsettling news.

On Dec 13 Uranus turns direct. This signature can result in wild price swings in many markets. As usual give these aspects +- 3 td's. Watch all markets you are interested in but particularly Gold and Silver and currencies. This signature should be emphasized as there is a New Moon in Sagittarius as well.

There are a number of other astrological aspects next week. One I have shown before is the 3 cycle Heliocentric Mercury chart. That is every 3^rd cycle of heliocentric Mercury when Helio Mercury is in Virgo (see green x’s on the following chart) the market often goes down around the time Mercury exits Virgo (see blue circles). Helio Merc leaves Virgo Dec 10th this week. Sometimes it takes a week or so but very consistent.

We are still in the time window for Sun spots and significant earthquakes / volcanoes. The time period around Dec 21st has a number of Astros with a history of geophysical stress. Most of December a Yod is forming between Jupiter, Saturn and Pluto. Yod's involving slower moving planets don't appear that often. This one also has Venus opposing Jupiter at the apex. More on this in the next post as it appears to be a very important aspect.

The Yod looks like this.
