SP500

For the SP500, Cycle-wise we are in the 16th week of a Primary  ¹  cycle (aka, the nominal 18 week with a range of 15 to 21 weeks) starting at the Oct 15th low.

We are looking for the trough in the SP500 near by March 11, 2015 +- 1 week. This is close by two signatures with a history of occurring at primary cycle turns. These are Jupiter trine Uranus and Saturn stationary. Since we are 16 weeks along we should be watching for a forming trough. Prices are already below the two moving averages we follow at 15 and 45 day sma. Noted further down it seems to be getting strong support here. Any break down and start looking for the trough.

The 7th and last square of the Uranus / Pluto waxing square is March 16, 2015. The two planets will be very close for the next 3 months. We saw the type of dramatic event we were expecting when the Swiss National Bank announced they would de-peg their currency, the Swiss Franc to the Euro on Jan 15th. Will there be other currencies perhaps de-pegging from the Euro or maybe the US$ as well. Stayed tuned. This dramatic move down in crude is also well timed with the Uranus / Pluto waxing square.

We also mentioned last week the period from Feb 18 through March 20th looks particularly disruptive. This could stretch into early April. The type of events we may witness may be disturbing. There are war aspects (either a greatly expanded current war or a new upset), possibly drastic security measures, deception, kidnappings, strife and discord, terror attacks There also maybe some type of Hollywood sex scandal but this may be looked at as pretty mild stuff with the other events around this time. It may be the main stream media using such a non-event to distract the populace from the real problems going on. Subscribers will get a list of exact dates.

This does not sound very pleasant but we should add, there is the potential for some type of natural disaster. With the larger planets being aspected we can't rule out geophysical events. Look for an increase in earthquakes above 5.5 to point to something more major.

Keep in mind when reading the above, the planetary positions are creating an environment where certain events are more likely to happen. It is never 100%.

For forecasting we use New Moon charts, individual planet Cycle charts, Solar and Lunar eclipses, secondary progressions, Solar arcs (my favorite) and Declination arcs. Also there are a number of hot spots in the Zodiac which will be mentioned when they are hit.

The EU decision to implement a QE program occurred under a Mercury retrograde, a period of time where decisions, often, do not turn out as expected.

There are a number of longer term market cycles that could hit in 2015. Two we've discussed before are the 4 year cycle and the 6 year cycle. There are a number of longer term cycles as well which are covered in the market letter.

SP500 - planetary mid-points

(to follow up from the last two blog posts following is a daily chart of the SP500 with the Mars through Pluto mid-points. They act as support and resistance.)

The above daily chart of the SP500 shows the mid point of the planets Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto as discussed the last few weeks. The mid-point is expressed in planetary longitude and converted to price. On the chart we see the next resistance level around 2086 and the next support at 1995.

In brief, the Central Banks of the world continue to try and stir up inflation while commodities appear to be in a deflationary period. This week is a little quieter as far as Astros are considered. We do have a full moon and we have the payroll numbers on February 6th, the same day the Sun opposes Jupiter. This latter aspect has a history of occurring close to a Primary cycle turn. Watch the weeks either side of this date.

Gold

Gold put in a trough on Nov 7th. This would put us in the 13th week of it's Primary cycle   ¹  (nominal 18 week) during this coming week.

Volatility in precious metals continue. I'll cover the longer term cycles in Gold next week as I'd like to see price action this week. Friday was a big range day but also an inside day. Inside days point to indecision. Gold came off it's recent highs so next week could be looking at the crest of the Primary cycle or we had it on Jan 22nd.

Gold moved down last Thursday to the 61.8% retrace area on the following chart and then bounced on Friday. To continue up Gold needs to get back to and above the 78.6% retracement level.

The following daily Gold chart shows the heliocentric Venus (green) and Jupiter (blue) price lines. Gold moved sharply down when the helio Venus and Jupiter price lines crossed on Jan 28th.

This was also a 27 cd (calendar day and red vertical lines)) cycle on this chart which has marked both highs and lows. This also hit on Jan 28. The next date using these measures is Feb 25 and 26th. We'll watch price action as compared to these price lines until then.

Silver also appears to be in the 13th week of it's Primary cycle cycle  ¹ on

Nov 7th. looks like the Primary cycle (nominal 18 week cycle) trough. Silver had a much stronger move down on Jan 29 making a move down to the Primary cycle low a stronger possibility. Watch both Gold and Silver price action this week. I would normally be looking for the Primary cycle to be forming but Gold has been so powerful in January it could stretch into early February.

The following daily chart of Silver shows the heliocentric price lines for Venus and Jupiter. This has a more telling move down centered on the Jan 28th date we've discussed.

Crude

We are looking for dates and time periods where crude prices could make a turn. This Astrological items that rule crude are Neptune, Jupiter and Pisces. Watch planets in Pisces. Since Neptune is there and rules Pisces any aspects to Neptune maybe significant, like the Venus conjunct Neptune this weekend. We have already mentioned the Sun opposing Jupiter on Feb 6th. Watch price action this week. Another thing that could effect crude pricing is Pluto as it rules hidden things and things from the ground.

We are going into more detail in the subscription letter. We mentioned above the possibility of violent events coming up in Feb and March. The letter will go into more detail and dates. War or signs and rumors of war should be positive for crude, precious metals and commodities in general.

When crude stops this fall the following chart should be useful. Note prior to crude's move down the geocentric price lines for Jupiter and Neptune have acted as support and resistance.

SP500

For the SP500, Cycle-wise we are in the 15th week of a Primary  ¹  cycle (aka, the nominal 18 week with a range of 15 to 21 weeks) starting at the Oct 15th low.

We are looking for the trough in the SP500 near by March 11, 2015 +- 1 week. This is close by two signatures with a history of occurring at primary cycle turns. These are Jupiter trine Uranus and Saturn stationary.

The long discussed 6th instance of the Uranus / Pluto waxing square was exact on Monday, Dec 15th and will be in orb until the 7th and last square in this series is March 16, 2015. The two planets will be very close for the next 3 months. We saw the type of dramatic event we were expecting when the Swiss National Bank announced they would de-peg their currency, the Swiss Franc to the Euro on Jan 15th. Will there be other currencies perhaps de-pegging from the Euro or maybe the US$ as well. Stayed tuned.

We await the late Feb. / March 2015 time frame where we expect dramatic events to transpire. The period from Feb 18 through March 20th looks particularly disruptive.

From last weeks blog post we were somewhat undecided about Jan 20th but were leaning to a negative outcome. We waited until shortly after 1:00pm. The sign we were looking for started near noon on Jan 20th and the markets went up until Friday, Jan 23rd where they were flat to down most of the day. More on this in the following video.

The EU decision to implement a QE program occurred under a Mercury retrograde, a period of time where major decisions and / or finalizing contracts do not turn out as expected.

http://youtu.be/V48M3sYAH3o

In brief, the Central Banks of the world continue to try and stir up inflation while commodities appear to be in a deflationary down trend. This week is a little quieter as far as Astros are considered, however, we have the Greek election on the week-end, the FED meeting and then the Venus translation of the forming Saturn / Neptune square and Sun conjunct Mercury in the middle of a retrograde both pointing to a possible change in trend. I continue to look for the market to move down or enter a period of volatile consolidation as we await more powerful Astrological events.

I'm looking for the market (SP500) to move down early in the week. There is one astrological indicator identifying which day. I have reserved it for subscribers.

Gold

Gold put in a trough on Nov 7th. This would put us in the 12th week of it's Primary cycle   ¹  (nominal 18 week) during this coming week.

I may have been a tad early in selling 1/2 my Gold holdings. The use of the word "tad" is reserved for those periods where stupid mistakes are made by otherwise sane individuals.

{^_^}.

Gold made the bullish move many had expected, having made it to the 78.6% retracement of the move down from July 10, 2014 to Nov 7, 2014. To me, this appears to be to, too far, too fast. This was undoubtedly stimulated be the Swiss Franc de-peg and the EU announcement of QE.

So I won't be a buyer of Gold here instead I'm looking for the crest of the current Primary cycle. The aspect mentioned in the first video, that is Venus translating the Saturn, Neptune square may be important. The latter is one of the strongest signatures for changes in the price of Gold. Mercury turning retrograde on Jan 21 +- 2 td's can also mark a period where precious metals change trend.

The following daily Gold chart shows the heliocentric Venus (green) and Jupiter (blue) price lines. Gold has made it up to the next higher Jupiter price line (blue). Remember when the Venus and Jupiter price line cross, it often changes the trend in Gold prices. This occurs on Jan 28th.

There is also a 27 cd (calendar day) cycle on this chart which has marked both highs and lows. This is the vertical red line on the chart. This also hits on Jan 28. Does Gold price reverse in the next few days? Quite possible. Give it an orb of +- 2 TD's. 27 is the number of days it takes the Moon to orbit the Earth. It then takes approx. 2.5 more days for the Moon to catch up to Earth which has moved.
27 * 4 = 108, an important Vedic number.

Silver also appears to be in the 15th week of it's Primary cycle cycle  ¹ on

Nov 7th. looks like the Primary cycle (nominal 18 week cycle) trough. Like Gold, Silver moved up with the conviction we were looking for. See comments under Gold.

The following daily chart of Silver shows the heliocentric price lines for Venus and Jupiter. Again, watch the days around Jan 28 for a possible reversal down.

SP500

For the SP500, Cycle-wise we are in the 14th week of a Primary  ¹  cycle (aka, the nominal 18 week with a range of 15 to 21 weeks) starting at the Oct 15th low.

The long discussed 6th instance of the Uranus / Pluto waxing square was exact on Monday, Dec 15th and will be in orb until the 7th and last square in this series is March 16, 2015. The two planets will be very close for the next 3 months. We saw the type of dramatic event we were expecting when the Swiss National Bank announced they would de-peg their currency, the Swiss Franc to the Euro on Jan 15th. Will there be other currencies perhaps de-pegging from the Euro or maybe the US$ as well. Stayed tuned.

From last week's blog:

"The coming 2 weeks have a number of long term potent aspects. I'm expecting this period to be very volatile with a strong possibility of a more significant move down in the markets and the possibility of more events triggered by ideological extremism."

I couldn't write the above more accurately if I wrote it today.

And from last week's market letter:

"January is shaping up to be explosive and tense and should continue for at least two more weeks."

"This time period may generate some world event as there is another astrological event on the weekend as well."

And dates from last week's letter

Jan 11 Heliocentric Jupiter waxing trine Uranus.

Jan 12 The Moon moves back to 15 degrees, 5 minutes of Libra.

Started the week with a convincing down day.

Jan 15 Pluto square North Node and Mars square Saturn. Could trigger an extreme event. This was the Swiss Franc de-peg. Will there be other changes to currencies pairs?

I'm looking for extreme events to continue into this coming week. Events could be market related, like the de-pegging of the Swiss Franc or events triggered by ideological extremism be it from militant Islam or other group.

I live in Canada. Many of our subscribers live in countries other than North America. The aspect readings are not meant to be for the USA only. They can typically manifest anywhere in the world. Sometimes aspects affect the natal planets of a country and we can pin point the location to some degree.

We are still in the time window where geophysical stress is building. Watch for an increase in earthquakes greater then 5.5. The Iceland volcanoes have been active but not in the mainstream news.

http://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/map/

In addition to the planets there is a perigee New Moon (aka a Super Moon per Richard Nolle) on Jan 20th approx. 1 hour before the US market opens in New York. This is a New Moon when the Moon is passing the closest point to the Earth during the current orbit.

A New Moon is always a conjunction between the Sun and the Moon in this case at 0 degrees in Aquarius. The start of each sign is a powerful point. In addition the New Moon is also in quintile aspect (72 degrees) to the Uranus / North Node conjunction in Aries, remembering that the Uranus / Pluto square is still in orb. Uranus rules Aquarius so this New Moon has definite Uranian flavor to it. This is building a great deal of tension which may get released in additional violent events. The US may be involved in any events around Jan 20th. The New Moon in early Aquarius suggests an unpredictable, shocking energy which upsets the old order of things with Uranus prominent. Watch for this on Jan 20th +- 1 td.

The above mix of a New Moon in quintile to the Uranus / North Node conjunction could also suggest some truly innovative / new information which could result in immediate change. Again, watch Jan 20 +- 1 td. So we have both a favorable outcome or a negative outcome. I'm going with the negative outcome and am looking for a move down early in the trading week, possibly a dramatic move On Jan 20th. Just keep in mind the possible favorable outcome and be ready to switch. I expect we will realize the markets direction by 11:00am on January 20th.

Also watch for geophysical activity and possible bad storms during the above transits and Super Moon.

There is still the possibility of some type of disease / epidemic or poison. I've also mentioned poison and gas in previous posts This is not meant to be alarmist but is a possibility with the current aspects. Other aspects are reserved for subscribers. Watch the world news. Other words which described these aspects are rejection, denial and destruction.

There are a number of longer term market cycles that could hit in 2015. Two we've discussed before are the 4 year cycle and the 6 year cycle. There are a number of longer term cycles as well which are covered in the market letter.

Gold

Gold put in a trough on Nov 7th. This would put us in the 11th week of it's Primary cycle   ¹  (nominal 18 week) during this coming week.

To follow along with the previous blog post Gold did break above the Dec 9 high's and and the 61.8 % retracement, a very bullish move assisted by the Swiss de-pegging. So I remained in but sold off 1/2 of my Gold holdings on Friday. I will monitor next week to decide if I make a more substantial purchase. We are coming into the time period for a crest in the Gold primary cycle.

The following daily Gold chart shows the heliocentric Venus (green) and Jupiter (blue) price lines. Gold broke through the Jupiter price line and is approaching the next Venus price line. Gold often reverses when the Venus and Jupiter price lines cross which is Jan 28th. Gold has also reversed from highs and lows near the 27 td (trading day) which is the red vertical line on Jan 22nd. The number 27 can be found in many places. The Moon takes approx. 27 days to orbit the Earth and then another 2.5 days to catch up to the Earth which has moved over the month.

Silver also appears to be in the 11th week of it's Primary cycle cycle  ¹ on

Nov 7th. looks like the Primary cycle (nominal 18 week cycle) trough. Like Gold, Silver moved up with the conviction we were looking for. See comments under Gold.

Crude

This week should start the 19th week of the Primary cycle. I expect a period of sideways consolidation looking for crude to settle in a range around $50.00-55.00. This may take some time.

I'm also expecting an increase in war like activity in the first quarter of 2015 (listen to the first video. Watch the days around Jan 19th for a possible move in crude. If war like activities affect any crude producing countries we could see an abrupt change in crude prices. Even if crude producing countries are not involved in war activities the threat should move prices up.

Both Jupiter and Neptune rule crude. The following daily chart of crude shows the 45 degree price lines for Jupiter (orange) and Neptune (green). The main Jupiter price line (bold orange) is at 49.99. Crude needs to move up through 50.00 to keep any small momentum up. Normally these two price lines mark excellent support and resistance. These price lines are somewhat useless when a commodity has crashed like crude. Despite all the squawking in the news crude has spent very little time above, or even close to 100.00 WTIC. Look back on the chart, before the move down in crude and you will see the two price lines acting as support and resistance.

SP500

For the SP500, Cycle-wise we are in the 13th week of a Primary  ¹  cycle (aka, the nominal 18 week with a range of 15 to 21 weeks) starting at the Oct 15th low.

The long discussed 6th instance of the Uranus / Pluto waxing square was exact on Monday, Dec 15th and will be in orb until the 7th and last square in this series is March 16, 2015. The two planets will be very close for the next 3 months. Although we have made this point before it is worth repeating. The Uranus/Pluto square is the defining planetary aspect for this period of history, from approximately 2011 through 2015.

Last week we said:

"This coming month, January, will witness a number of astrological aspects which could be explosive both for the markets and world events in general."

"This period of time, that the Uranus Pluto square has been active, has put a spotlight on ideological extremism."

And for the markets

"We won't have long to wait as the Sun will translate the Uranus / Pluto square on January 3, 2015+- a couple of TD's (trading days). This time period may generate some world event as there is another astrological event on the weekend as well."

The coming 2 weeks have a number of long term potent aspects. I'm expecting this period to be very volatile with a strong possibility of a more significant move down in the markets and the possibility of more events triggered by ideological extremism. Two of the aspects are longer term transits which I would normally give an orb of +- a month. The fact that there are two and other shorter term aspects often creates an environment where the longer term cycles hit earlier than usual. This may start early in the week but I've given it a 2 week window. Dates are reserved for subscribers. I'm short for Monday morning.

When the slower moving large planets get aspected like this they can result in geophysical stress. Watch for an increase in earthquakes greater then 5.5.

http://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/map/

In addition to the planets there is a perigee New Moon (aka a Super Moon per Ritchard Nolle) on Jan 20th. This is a New Moon when the Moon is passing the closest point to the Earth during the current orbit. Again watch for geophysical activity and possible bad storms.

There are also two aspects in this 2 week window that point to either infection, disease and also poisons, gas and sudden death. Doesn't sound altogether too pleasant. More than one of these aspects are pointing to some type of disease / epidemic and are also suggesting something to do with poison gas. I've been looking for a pick up in war rhetoric and this period may see this beginning. Watch the world news. Other words which described these aspects are rejection, denial and destruction.

There are a number of longer term market cycles that could hit in 2015. Two we've discussed before are the 4 year cycle and the 6 year cycle. There are a number of longer term cycles as well which are covered in the market letter.

Gold

Gold put in a trough on Nov 7th. This would put us in the 10th week of it's Primary cycle   ¹  (nominal 18 week) during this coming week.

During last week Gold did start moving up but not with the conviction I was looking for.

The positives are Gold moved above the trend line and price is now above both the 15 and 45 day sma's.

Gold needs to move above the Dec 9 high's or the 50% retracement around 1238. If Gold has not broken above this area by the week of Jan 19th I'll be looking to get out of my Gold holdings and watch for awhile. This is also true for Silver.

The following daily Gold chart shows the heliocentric Venus (green) and Jupiter (blue) price lines. Gold is currently sitting on the main Jupiter (dark blue) price line. A break through here would be very positive.

Silver also appears to be in the 10th week of it's Primary cycle cycle  ¹ on

Nov 7th. looks like the Primary cycle (nominal 18 week cycle) trough. Like Gold, Silver needs to move up with some conviction or it is in danger of a sharp move down. See comments under Gold.

Crude

This week should start the 18th week of the Primary cycle. I expect a period of sideways consolidation looking for crude to settle in a range, over time, around $50.00-55.00.

I'm also expecting an increase in war like activity in the first quarter of 2015. I've been looking for the end of February or March but conflicts could start sooner. Watch the days around Jan 19th for a possible move in crude. If war like activities affect any crude producing countries we could see an abrupt change in crude prices. Even if crude producing countries are not involved in war activities the threat would move prices up.

Subscriber Update - Jan 8, 2015

Following is a quick update for the SP500.

Based on the mid-point calculation of the slower moving planets (as seen in the last letter) I'm looking for resistance, on a daily closing basis of 2053-2054. If we break through the next resistance level is 2146.

The next two weeks are going to be volatile with a potential large move down (this could also be some type of world event, like a geophysical event). Dates will be in this weekends letter.

SP500

The markets were moving down during the low volume, slow Christmas week.  The move down leaves us lower than Dec 5th, which I thought would be the high. As it turns out it may have been close.  

For the SP500, Cycle-wise we are in the 12th week of a Primary  ¹  cycle (aka, the nominal 18 week with a range of 15 to 21 weeks) starting at the Oct 15th low.

The long discussed 6th instance of the Uranus / Pluto waxing square was exact on Monday, Dec 15th and will be in orb until the 7th and last square in this series is March 16, 2015. The two planets will be very close for the next 3 months. Perhaps we will see the dramatic moves in the markets we have expected as a number of planets make aspects to the Uranus, Pluto square.

This coming month, January, will witness a number of astrological aspects which could be explosive both for the markets and world events in general. This period of time, that the Uranus Pluto square has been active, has put a spotlight on ideological extremism. This has been seen in the fanaticism of ISIL and warring factions of political parties in many countries.

We won't have long to wait as the Sun will translate the Uranus / Pluto square on January 3, 2015 +- a couple of TD's (trading days). This time period may generate some world event as there is another astrological event on the weekend as well. If there is no significant event early next week there is another such time frame, and probably stronger, later in the month. This first quarter should be very telling for the rest of the year. Any time we have Pluto involved in an aspect we should consider "debt" as being an issue.

As a general statement going forward. For the past couple of years I have been forecasting troughs and crests in the general market indices. There has been no mention of market crashes or more dire events. The strength of the market has been impressive although it may have been manipulated up in the US and other markets, ex. Japan.

For 2015 and the first quarter of 2016 we'll be looking to call a more severe market turn and possible crash. More precise time frames are reserved for subscribers.

There are a number of longer term market cycles that could hit in 2015. Two we've discussed before are the 4 year cycle and the 6 year cycle. There are a number of longer term cycles as well which are covered in the market letter.

Historically we are entering the strong period of the year for the markets but, the first quarter of 2015 has many astrological events which may appear extreme and negative for the markets. It will be interesting to see how the central banks of the world react if there is a strong move in the market, either up or down.

Gold

Gold put in a trough on Nov 7th. This would put us in the 9th week of it's Primary cycle   ¹  (nominal 18 week) during this coming week, Dec 22 may have been the nominal 6 week low but we have had poor progress out of the trough if Dec 22 was indeed the low.

Gold is still sitting on the downward sloping trend line (light blue) and leaves Gold almost on the 45 day simple moving average (sma). The high for the day touched the 15 day sma.

If this recent action is to turn out positive for Gold it has to start moving up with some conviction almost immediately. Perhaps some extreme event will get precious metals moving up. Watch precious metals early in the week for a move (up or down) as both the Sun and Pluto, which have an effect on Gold are in aspect over the weekend.

Silver also appears to be in the 9th week of it's Primary cycle cycle  ¹ on

Nov 7th. looks like the Primary cycle (nominal 18 week cycle) trough. Like Gold, Silver needs to move up with some conviction or it is in danger of a sharp move down.

Crude

This week should start the 17th week of the Primary cycle. I expect a period of sideways consolidation looking for crude to settle in a range around $50.00-55.00 .

The questions are how long will it take demand to clear built up inventories of crude world wide and how much will continuing weak demand in 2015 effect crude inventories in 2015. I'm also expecting an increase in war like activity in the first quarter of 2015. If this affects any crude producing countries we could see an abrupt change in crude prices.

Astrologically there are aspects this weekend which could affect crude and also around Jan 15-21st.
