Financial Astrology - April 6, 2014

We won't rehash the forming Grand Square again, but will provide a summary and some new information. For new readers, many of the past two months posts, and older, have provided information on this unique Astrological event that was first suggested in the June 16th, 2013 post as follows.

"Longer term  I’ve been looking at 3 periods going forward where things look particularly negative from an Astrological perspective.

I will come with more exact dates as we approach those time periods and we see the price action going into them.

August 2013
Late October / early November 2013
April 2014 "

From the same post.

"April 21, 2014 (could be a doozy)"

It has been covered in some detail many times since. If interested you can use the search function on the blog and search for "Grand Square".

As this involved 4 planets two of which are the long term waxing square (Uranus and Pluto) it can effect a period of time around the April date. In fact we have already seen some events triggered by this powerful square.

1. Russia takes over Crimea

2. Strong Earthquakes

3. Volcanic activity

4. Separation is being discussed in a number of countries

5. The issue that I have mentioned a number of times is a change in the reserve currency of the world. Russia and possibly some other countries want to sell oil in something other than the US$. This will not happen quickly but events started in April may lead to changes in the reserve currency.

6. Hostile language between China and Japan and of course North Korea and other geopolitical problems.
7. Russia looking to buy crude from Iran in something other than US$ and possibly barter. Other countries may be looking at the U.S. reaction to this very closely.

I would expect more of the same. Don't discount terrorist activity or any of the possible events mentioned in previous posts. If this is a financial event / decision it may be hidden from the public at first.

Subscribers have the forecast dates and dates for the two eclipses in April. The potential effects of the Lunar and Solar eclipses are noted. Eclipses in general are good timing tools and point to further trouble down the road.

NOTE: I'll be adding Paypal and credit card purchases to the site before the 2nd Half of 2014 forecast dates are advertised sometime in May.

The four planets that are involved in the Grand Square are Mars, Jupiter, Uranus and Pluto. I'm looking for this to really start heating up April 8 and forward into at least late April and possibly into mid-May. There may be decisions made that are not known to the public immediately (Again, I'm thinking currencies here).

Two of the four planets, Uranus and Pluto will have an exact waxing square. This is the 5th in a series of 7. The following daily chart of the DJIA shows the 7 occurrences (blue boxes). Four have taken place, then this one in April and then two more.

We continue to follow the 50% Fan line (blue) on the following daily chart of the SP500.

The SP500 briefly broke through the Pluto price line. This looks like stiff resistance around 1875-1880.

Caution is warranted. There may be extreme volatility ahead. Remember the FED did not see bubbles in 2000 or 2007. Following is a weekly chart of the SP500 showing the bubbles they could not see.

Gold

I follow market cycles, Astrological cycles and events and market technicals.

Looking at Gold market cycles I would expect Gold to be heading down into a 13.5 month cycle low in June / July. That said the Astro events we are about to experience may move Gold up, particularly the Pluto retrograde on April 14th and the violent signatures of the week of April 21.

We are in the 14th week of the Primary cycle and may have just bounced off the 50% retracement of the move up from Dec 31, 2013. If so expect the move up to continue this week.

I have mentioned debt as a possible problem coming out of this Grand Square signature. Since money is debt it could affect the US$ in a negative way and therefore be positive for Gold going forward.

The precious metals market is still being manipulated.

There were two positive Venus signatures recently. Venus rules copper. We may be seeing a bottom in copper. Watch closely next week.

Crude

Watch the $102 area. If broken we could move quickly up to $105. Re-read point 7 above. This could get wild.
