The market letter is now a monthly report and the August issue will be sent out this weekend. We will be sending ALERTS to subscribers with specific dates when there are imminent trading opportunities forming.

SP500

For the SP500, cycle-wise we are entering the 4th week of a new Primary cycle ¹ cycle that started on July 7th. This cycle is aka, the nominal 18 week with a range of 15 to 21 weeks.

The next time band for a nominal 18 week (Primary) cycle trough is noted on the first chart and is from Oct 19 through Dec 1st 2015. There are a number of longer term cycles that may hit their troughs about the same time. Details on the subscriber letter.

First we should be looking for the crest of the first nominal 6 week cycle of the Primary cycle. The nominal 18 week cycle often breaks down into 3 nominal 6 week cycles. They would have a range of 5-7 weeks. As we are 4 weeks along in the 18 week cycle and will enter the 5th week on Aug 6th, we should start looking for a crest for the 6 week cycle. If this carries on to a 1/2 Primary cycle, I'll discuss it next week.

Fridays, July 31st negative action could have may have been the crest of the first 6 week cycle of the nominal 18 week cycle. There are a number of heavy Saturn aspects next week.

The fact I'm looking for a slow forming top for the whole 6 year move means we may start seeing some left translated cycles or at least cresting in the middle of the cycle rather than being right translated. Left translated meaning the crest occurs early in the cycle and it spends more of it's time going down than going up. I believe the top will most probably be a long process rather than a single event. It may stretch out a few months.

From last weeks blog post:

"We got the move down I was expecting. The question now is does the SP500 start moving up again into the crest of the first 6 week cycle of the nominal 18 week cycle. If it does not move up this would be very bearish as we could be looking at a very left translated cycle."

So the SP500 did start moving up on July 28th. The move down from July 20th to July 27th was the move I mentioned about a pullback in the 2nd to 3rd week of a new Primary cycle. If the high on July 31 is the crest for this 6 week cycle it was quite weak. I had expected the crest to be closer to or above the July 20th high.

There are a number of volatile Astrological events over the first two weeks of August which could effect the markets, Gold and Crude and possibly world events. With Saturn and Pluto involved we also cannot rule out earthquakes and violent weather. Subscribers have the dates. In addition Jupiter and Saturn will be involved in an important 240 year event in a few years. The details are included in the subscriber letter. I will say it is tied into an Astrological aspect occurring next week.

July 7th was the Primary cycle low and it was 1 day off the estimated date at the bottom right of the following chart. The estimate was done in early February this year.

On the following daily chart of the SP500 the light blue lines are Fibonacci retracements from June 22nd to July 7th. Note today's move got stopped at the 78.6 % extended Fib retracement. 78.6 is the square root of 61.8.

On the following chart which is the average longitude of the planets Mars through Pluto

(blue lines) converted to price. After the pullback price touched the thin blue line, the Mars-Pluto planetary average at 2093.25, then rebounded to the thicker blue line at 2110 then retreated,

On the chart the red dots are previous OPEX dates. (Option expiry, 3rd Friday of each month). The market has been pulling back after these dates and Friday was OPEX. I read this somewhere but forgotten the source.

The next two weeks have a number of Saturn aspects. Saturn is discipline, enduring, contracting and structure. Saturn is in Scorpio until Sept 17th. Among other things Scorpio is other peoples money and debt. Saturn and Pluto are also in mutual reception. Saturn is in Scorpio, the sign Pluto rules and Pluto is in Capricorn, the sign Saturn rules. This makes both planets stronger.

The coming aspects could also indicate earthquake activity or severe weather. Violent events continue.

At this point, following are the highs in the US indexes.

Another chart we have not looked at for awhile is the following daily chart of the SP500 with a fan indicator. The dark blue fan line is 45 degrees. The starting point is the low at March 6, 2009. The blue 45 degree line is currently at 2103. Watch for any significant break at this level. It has been good support / resistance for some time. It moved back below the 45 degree this week.

Another long term chart showing weakness is the following weekly chart of the SP500 with a 21 week (red) and 34 week (blue) weekly averages again showing weakness. Price has not spent much time below these moving averages during the massive move up. The 3 red squares are the Saturn / Uranus sesquisquare (135 degrees). I'm watching this weekly chart to see if the 21 sma crosses below the 34 week moving average.

In summary I look at the markets in the coming two weeks and there may be a depressive air. We got the move down I was expecting and then the move back up, also expected, however, I had expected the SP500 to rise further last week. The question now is, does the SP500 start moving up again into the crest of the first 6 week cycle of the nominal 18 week cycle or did we see the crest on Friday. The Astrological aspects seem to be pointing to a move down. If it does not move up this would be bearish as we could be looking at a very left translated cycle.

As I've said elsewhere I'm looking for a market to slowly trend down with many ups and downs along the way.

So we have Saturn and Jupiter aspect next week. There is also a square between Venus and Saturn. This just occurred in July but due to retrograde motion we have a second Venus / Saturn square. Venus, among other things is money. Saturn, among other things is discipline and situated in intense Scorpio is debt.

On Aug 3rd Jupiter will make a waning square to Saturn. There's a lot to say about this aspect. Here's one point. Every pass of the waning square between Jupiter and Saturn that has been a 3 pass has resulted in a longer term cycle unfolding between the first and last passages. This will be a 3 pass. The dates are Aug 3, 2015, March 23, 2016 and June 26, 2016. We should be looking for a longer term cycle to occur between the Aug 3, 2015 and June 26, 2016. Subscribers have the longer term cycles. Subscribers also have information on the upcoming "Mutation Conjunction" in Air, which should be an exciting period of time. The last time this happened was the year 1226.

See the following weekly chart of the DJIA. The red squares are the Jupiter Saturn waning square, 3 pass. The green squares are the Saturn Neptune square. They overlap and could be pointing to a period of change in the markets.

There are stressful and potentially violent aspects coming up and the potential for surprise moves into early August. The aspects in early August could be pointing to another debt event. Saturn turning direct in Scorpio and is in mutual reception with Pluto. This should have a strong effect.

Gold

Gold put in a Primary cycle ¹ trough on March 17th. This was 1 td after the Uranus / Pluto square. This puts us entering the 20th week of the nominal 18 week during this coming week.

It should be noted Gold has followed an 18-19 week cycle fairly closely for 2 years although there were some inversions (a high where a low was expected). We should be getting close to a trough. Subscribers have dates. Besides the 18 week cycle there are a number of longer term cycles due and potent aspects which have a history of turns in precious metals.

Saturn turns Direct on Aug 2nd and a change in trend for Gold often occurs near this signature +- 3 tds. The next day, Aug 3rd Jupiter is in waning square to Saturn, this also has a strong history of Primary cycle turns.

The Gold chart is fulfilling all our requirements for a nominal 18 week cycle low, that is price is below the 15 and 45 day sma's and the 15 day is less than the 45 day and there are a number of Astrological aspects which have a history of changes in trend for Gold. Watch for a reversal in trend over the coming week or second week in August. This looks quite positive but we must remember the last thing central banks want is a rising Gold price.

The following daily Gold chart shows the heliocentric Venus (green) and Jupiter (blue) price lines. Gold has been moving sideways over last week.. The Miners (Gold Mining companies) often lead Gold higher. Some indicators like "TSI" are improving for The Miners.

On July 19, 2015 approximately 2.7 billion dollars of Gold was dumped on the market at 9:30 pm on a Sunday evening. This was at a time when the market was the least liquid. Whoever was selling was guaranteed to get the lowest price. This had the effect reducing Gold prices by $50.00 per ounce or approx. 4.2%. I bring this up as an example of market manipulation that is occurring. There are many other examples.

Crude

This coming week of Aug 3rd we should be entering the 20th week of a Primary cycle which started Mar 18, 2015.

I'm watching the dates around any Neptune or Jupiter aspects. July 1st had Venus conjunct Jupiter and the Sun trine Neptune, a big down day. There are other Astrological signatures with a history of moves in crude. Dates are reserved for subscribers.

Crude put in a "W" bottom, marked PB (Primary bottom) and DB ( double bottom).

Crude has broken below the 23.6% Fibonacci retracement of the move down from

June 12, 2014 to March 17, 2015. Both the 15 and 45 day sma's are rolling over and price is below both. It appears to be preparing for a nominal 18 week low. Bear in mind it is difficult trading crude here. The first week in August may turn out to be eventful for crude. Jupiter waning trine Saturn and looking out further Saturn square Neptune on Nov 26th. Any news out of Saudi Arabia or other big producers or potential disruption would change crude prices quickly.

As seen on the following chart crude finally dropped away from the Neptune price line (green) and now sits close to the next Neptune price line which is 47.41.

The lines are 45 degrees apart. 45 degrees is (360 / 8) = 45 or also known as the 8th harmonic.

We are getting late in the nominal 18 week cycle in crude. Watch price closely as it approaches any of the price lines.

Another chart we have not shown for awhile is the weekly crude chart with the 16 week (red) and 24 week (blue) cycles. Where they meet the cycle line is green and is typically found at crests but sometimes inverts to a trough. The next green line is early November. 2015.

Financial Astrology - July 27, 2015

Subscription

The market letter is now a monthly report and the July issue has been sent out. We will be sending ALERTS to subscribers with specific dates when there are imminent trading opportunities forming.

SP500

For the SP500, cycle-wise we are entering the 3rd week of a new Primary cycle or still in an expanded Primary cycle in the 25th week of the older Primary ¹ cycle . This cycle is aka, the nominal 18 week with a range of 15 to 21 weeks so we are outside the normal range of the older cycle.

A Primary / nominal 18 week cycle that extends beyond the normal range are often distorted due to another, longer term cycle about to hit it's trough. In this case we could be seeing a shortened 50 week cycle or even the 4 year cycle in this time frame.

The recent price moves are pointing to the SP500 entering the 3rd week of a new Primary and that's the way I'm leaning now. New Primary cycles are typically very bullish, particularly when the long term trend has been bullish.

From last weeks blog post:

"New Primary cycles also often pull back in the first 2-3 weeks of the cycle. Look for this potential pullback next week. A pullback to the 2087 - 2097 area is quite possible. If it's a new bullish Primary the cycle would then continue up from there. The pullback may start early next week and be over on July 23-24th or closer to the difficult aspects near the end of the month."

So we did get the pullback mentioned above starting on July 21.

Also from last weeks blog post:

"For subscribers who have shorted the SP500, if we get that pullback look to cover near the pullback lows. If the pullback is on strong volume and below 2108 you may wish to hold your shorts."

So the low was 2079.65, a good place to cover shorts as the pullback mentioned above may be over. That said this week end and next week have some very volatile Astrological events that could distort the normal flow, not to mention the continual manipulation in stocks, precious metals, Forex and other markets. In fact there are many Astrological events through to August 14th. I am very interested in the Astrology of this weekend and next as they are the types of aspects which can move the markets.

For now I'm going with this being 3rd week of a new Primary cycle which started July 7th . We've had a pullback so if this cycle is bullish, and there is no reason yet to expect otherwise, it should start to rise into the crest of the first 6 week cycle in the 18 week Primary cycle. If the SP500 continues down this would be a very negative sign as we are early in the nominal 18 week cycle which is normally bullish. Bear in mind this weekend has Uranus turning retrograde and it is aspected by Mars and parallel to Venus which is also turning retrograde. This could be a picture of a fake-out either in stocks or commodities. Watch this early next week.

I believe we are very near the top for this 6 year bullish move. The top will most probably be a long process rather than a single event.

If July 7th was the Primary cycle low it was 1 day off the estimated date at the bottom right of the following chart. The estimate was done in early February.

On the following chart which is the average longitude of the planets Mars through Pluto

(blue lines) converted to price. We crashed through the Mars-Pluto planetary average which is now at 2109. I was expecting support here. There was none. I drew the green trend line on the chart which connected recent tops and is where I has going to cover shorts. It didn't break through so I held the shorts and covered today, July 24th.

The coming aspects could also indicate earthquake activity or severe weather. Violent events continue.

Mars and Mercury will form a powerful T-square with Uranus and Pluto. We should see volatility, surprise moves and possibly other news of world events. This period of unexpected moves and news should stretch into the first half of August. There should be more news than just Greece this month.

This has been a confusing time for many people. They feel something big is about to happen, but don't know what. I don't know what but I'm looking for something out of the ordinary by the end of October. It could be over the next few weeks.

This weekend has Venus and Uranus turning retrograde then in early August, Saturn turns direct very close to a very important aspect. This is potentially a momentous period of change for the next month. I'm looking specifically at precious metals and perhaps changes in currency or bonds and major events on the world stage. Volatility should be seen in many markets. We've already seen some.

At this point, following are the highs in the US indexes.

In summary I continue to look at the markets in July to be volatile. I was looking for July to be down and at this point it's basically flat with a week to go. We got the move down I was expecting. The question now is does the SP500 start moving up again into the crest of the first 6 week cycle of the nominal 18 week cycle. If it does not move up this would be very bearish as we could be looking at a very left translated cycle.

This weekend and the first few days of next week, watch for the unusual or sudden event.

There are stressful and potentially violent aspects coming up and the potential for surprise moves this week and early August. The aspects near the end of the month and early August could be pointing to another debt event. Saturn turning direct in Scorpio and is in mutual reception with Pluto. This should have a strong effect.

Gold

Gold put in a Primary cycle ¹ trough on March 17th. This was 1 td after the Uranus / Pluto square. This puts us entering the 19th week of the nominal 18 week during this coming week.

Gold put in a high on Monday May 18th, the same day as Mercury turned retrograde and then headed down and it is still headed down. The aspects I mentioned at the end of the month are potentially momentous for precious metals and possibly currencies and bonds.

The Nov 17, 2014 low near 1130 was passed on July 17th, and we now sit at 1097.

The Gold chart is fulfilling all our requirements for a nominal 18 week cycle low, that is price is below the 15 and 45 day sma's and the 15 day is less than the 45 day and there are a number of Astrological aspects which have a history of changes in trend for Gold. Watch for a quick reversal over the coming week or first week in August.

The following daily Gold chart shows the heliocentric Venus (green) and Jupiter (blue) price lines. Gold was heading down and may have found support at the Venus and Jupiter price lines. Watch price action early in the week. The Miners (Gold Mining companies) often lead Gold higher. The miners moved up on Friday and I bought a number of Gold mining companies. I'll put them in the August letter.

On July 19, 2015 approximately 2.7 billion dollars of Gold was dumped on the market at 9:30 pm on a Sunday evening. This was at a time when the market was the least liquid. Whoever was selling was guaranteed to get the lowest price. This had the effect reducing Gold prices by $50.00 per ounce or approx. 4.2%. I bring this up as an example of market manipulation that is occurring. There are many other examples.

Crude

This coming week of July 27 we should be entering the 19th week of a Primary cycle which started Mar 18, 2015.

Crude put in a "W" bottom, marked PB (Primary bottom) and DB ( double bottom).

Crude has broken below the 23.6% Fibonacci retracement of the move down from

June 12, 2014 to March 17, 2015. Both the 15 and 45 day sma's are rolling over and price is below both. It appears to be preparing for a nominal 18 week low. Bear in mind it is difficult trading crude here. The first week in August may turn out to be eventful for crude. Any news out of Saudi Arabia or other big producers or potential disruption would change crude prices quickly.

As seen on the following chart crude finally dropped away from the Neptune price line (green) and now sits close to the next Neptune price line which is 47.41.

The lines are 45 degrees apart. 45 degrees is (360 / 8) = 45 or also known as the 8th harmonic.

We are getting late in the nominal 18 week cycle in crude. Watch price closely as it approaches any of the price lines.

From the last (July 18) blog post. Be very careful, the Astrological energies are active.

"The end of the month in particular has Venus and Uranus turning retrograde then in early August, Saturn turns direct very close to a very important aspect. This is potentially a momentous period of change for the next month. I'm looking specifically at precious metals and perhaps changes in currency or bonds, banking and major events on the world stage.

Subscription

The market letter is now a monthly report and the July issue has been sent out. The first, two ALERTs have been sent to subscribers. We will be sending ALERTS to subscribers with specific dates when there are imminent trading opportunities forming.

SP500

For the SP500, cycle-wise we are entering the 2nd week of a new Primary cycle or still in an expanded Primary cycle in the 24th week of the older Primary ¹ cycle . This cycle is aka, the nominal 18 week with a range of 15 to 21 weeks so we are just outside the normal range of the older cycle.

The recent positive price moves are pointing to the SP500 entering the 2nd week of a new Primary and that's the way I'm leaning but won't throw out the older cycle quite yet. New Primary cycles are typically very bullish, particularly when the long term trend has been bullish.

New Primary cycles also often pull back in the first 2-3 weeks of the cycle. Look for this potential pullback next week. A pullback to the 2087 - 2097 area is quite possible. If it's a new bullish Primary the cycle would then continue up from there. The pullback may start early next week and be over on July 23-24th or closer to the difficult aspects near the end of the month.

For subscribers who have shorted the SP500, if we get that pullback look to cover near the pullback lows. If the pullback is on strong volume and below 2108 you may wish to hold your shorts.

This still could be the older 24 week but this bullish move at the end of a cycle would be highly unusual. That said, the markets have been unusual with rumors of manipulation in stocks, futures and other markets. It's a Neptune in Pisces thing.

For now I'm going with the 2nd week of a new Primary cycle which started July 7th and watching for the pullback that often occurs in the 2nd - 3rd week. I've noted the approx. area I'm looking for this pullback above. We may hit resistance around the 2109 area (see 2 charts below).

If July 7th was the Primary cycle low it was 1 day off the estimated date at the bottom right of the following chart. Th estimate was done in early February 2015.

On the following chart which is the average longitude of the planets Mars through Pluto

(blue lines) converted to price. We moved back above the Mars-Pluto planetary average which is now at 2108.77. This maybe an example of a line changing from resistance to support. The Doji on Friday may be a reversal signal. I drew the green trend line on the chart which connected recent tops and is where I has going to cover shorts. It didn't break through so I'm holding shorts from last week.

Next week should continue with violent acts, possible natural disasters and potential destructive weather. These blog posts are not just for the USA as we have members form all over the world, thus when I mention potential destructive weather we should understand it could be anywhere on the globe.

Mars and Mercury are both translating the Uranus / Pluto square so all the issues covered in numerous reports and blog entries about the Uranus / Pluto square still apply. Uranus in Aries should bring out conflict surrounding individuals choice and freedom. People want independence while Pluto in Capricorn and the establishment want to control the people. They want the status quo. Aries actions with Uranus can be fiery and impulsive but may not think things through. Watch out for military actions broken alliances, treaty's and possibly more banking problems.

Mars and Mercury will form a powerful T-square with Uranus and Pluto. We should see volatility, surprise moves and possibly other news of world events. This period of unexpected moves and news should stretch into the first half of August. There should be more news than Greece this month. Watch for news on currency wars. China and the USA should be center stage on this issue. Let's not leave Russia out or the BRICS. The Europe situation is not over.

The recent events in Europe provide an excellent example of Pluto as power and big money controlling the people they are supposed to support. I think the sense of entitlement by those in power (not just in Europe) will be their downfall.

In Greece banks have been shut and even when opened will Greek citizens be denied access to all their money? Why would a Greek leave money in a Greek bank?

What message is this sending to the citizens of France, Spain, Portugal and Italy. Can they trust their banks? Should they take their money out while they can? I would.

The end of the month in particular has Venus and Uranus turning retrograde then in early August, Saturn turns direct very close to a very important aspect. This is potentially a momentous period of change for the next month. I'm looking specifically at precious metals and perhaps changes in currency or bonds, banking and major events on the world stage. Volatility should be seen in many markets.

At this point, following are the highs in the US indexes.

Another chart we have not looked at for awhile is the following daily chart of the SP500 with a fan indicator. The dark blue fan line is 45 degrees. The starting point is the low at March 6, 2009. The blue 45 degree line is currently at 2080. Watch for any significant break at this level. It has been good support / resistance for some time. It moved back above the 45 degree line currently very close to 2100.

Another long term chart showing weakness is the following weekly chart of the SP500 with a 21 week (red) and 34 week (blue) weekly averages again showing weakness. Price has not spent much time below these moving averages during the massive move up. The 3 red squares are the Saturn / Uranus sesquisquare (135 degrees). Price has moved above the moving averages but the 21 and 34 week moving averages are still pointing down.

I'm also back to looking for geophysical upsets, earthquakes and volcanic activity particularly mid-July and early August. Watch Uranus dates +- a few.

In summary I continue to look at the markets in July to be volatile. I was looking for July to be down and we may still be. I'm looking for a move down next week as noted above. There are stressful and potentially violent aspects this coming week and the potential for surprise moves this week and in late July / early August. The aspects near the end of the month and early August could be pointing to another debt or banking event. Saturn turning direct in Scorpio and is in mutual reception with Pluto. This makes the Saturn changing to direct motion very strong, The fact that it is also close to another significant Saturn aspect makes it stronger. Discipline and debt come to mind.

Gold

Gold put in a Primary cycle ¹ trough on March 17th. This was 1 td after the Uranus / Pluto square. This puts us entering the 18th week of the nominal 18 week during this coming week. We should be getting close to a trough over the next few weeks. Subscribers have dates. Besides the 18 week cycle there are a number of longer term cycles due and potent aspects which have a history of turns in precious metals.

Gold put in a high on Monday May 18th, the same day as Mercury turned retrograde and then headed down and it is still headed down. The aspects I mentioned at the end of the month are potentially very important for precious metals and possibly currencies and bonds.

The Nov 17, 2014 low near 1130 was passed on July 17th, with a low of 1129.60

We are monitoring another cycle for Gold which will hit in the summer but reserved for subscribers. That cycle and others with the placement of Jupiter in the summer may be pointing to a strong reversal in Gold. Another Astrological event that has a strong history of changes in the trend is Venus turning retrograde given a broad range. This occurs the same day Mars squares Uranus, July 25th and one day away from Uranus turning retrograde. On the same day Venus (money) is parallel Uranus (sudden changes). These are powerful Astros which could effect Gold and other markets.

The Gold chart is fulfilling all our requirements for a nominal 18 week cycle low, that is price is below the 15 and 45 day sma's and the 15 day is less than the 45 day and there are a number of Astrological aspects which have a history of changes in trend for Gold. Watch for a quick reversal over the coming week or last week of July.

The following daily Gold chart shows the heliocentric Venus (green) and Jupiter (blue) price lines. Gold was heading down and may have found support at the Venus price line. Watch price action early in the week. The next date where the Venus and Jupiter price lines cross is July 23rd, a sesquisquare.

Crude

This coming week of July 20 we should be entering the 18th week of a Primary cycle which started Mar 18, 2015.

Crude put in a "W" bottom, marked PB (Primary bottom) and DB ( double bottom).

Crude has broken below the 23.6% Fibonacci retracement of the move down from

June 12, 2014 to March 17, 2015. Both the 15 and 45 day sma's are rolling over and price is below both. It appears to be preparing for a nominal 18 week low. Bear in mind it is difficult trading crude here. The first week in August may turn out to be eventful for crude. Any news out of Saudi Arabia or other big producers or potential disruption would change crude prices quickly.

As seen on the following chart crude finally dropped away from the Neptune price line (green) and now sits close to the Jupiter price line at 50.51, 2 levels below where we were a little over 2 weeks ago. They are 45 degrees apart. 45 degrees is (360 / 8) = 45 or also known as the 8th harmonic.

SP500

For the SP500, cycle-wise we are entering the 23rd week of the Primary ¹ cycle which started on Feb. 2nd 2015. This cycle is aka, the nominal 18 week with a range of 15 to 21 weeks so we are just outside the normal range.

A Primary / nominal 18 week cycle that extend beyond the normal range are often distorted due to another, longer term cycle. In this case we could be seeing a shortened 50 week cycle or even the 4 year cycle in this time frame.

It is also possible we saw the trough for the nominal 18 week cycle on June 9th. This was brought up by one of our readers and it is worthy of consideration. June 9th would have met are usual sign posts, price under the 15 and 45 day sma. The 15 day was not below the 45 day sma, but very close. The fact we made a high almost immediately could indicate a severely Left translated Primary cycle in which we are looking at approx. 18 weeks down. A move above June 22nd value would negate that negative outlook but that needs to happen and I'm looking for the broad indices to be going down from here. We'll watch this closely.

For now I'm going with the 23rd week of a longer than normal Primary cycle and watch it closely. I suspect that a longer term cycle is preparing to hit it's trough.

July 14-16 look like extreme violence. Bear in mind what we are saying is that this period, with the Astrological aspects, is more prone to extreme violence than normal.

July has many negative aspects, particularly the week starting July 13 and then late in the month. The Uranus / Pluto square that we have followed for a number of years is still in orb. The last exact hit was in March of this year but it's effects will be felt into 2019. This month the Sun then Mars and Mercury will translate the Uranus / Pluto square. This should be negative for the markets (debt) and world affairs in general.

The Sun then Mars and Mercury will form a powerful T-square with Uranus and Pluto. We should see volatility, surprise moves and possibly other news of world events. This period of unexpected moves and news should stretch into the first half of August. There should be more news than Greece this month.

This weekend we have the Sun in waxing square to Uranus. This is the square which always occurs approximately 14 days before Uranus turns retrograde. On August 13th the Sun will be in waxing trine to Uranus. This trine always occurs approx. 18 days after the Uranus retrograde date. Thus we have a window around the Uranus retrograde which is 14 days before to 18 days after, a period where Uranus is highlighted. Uranus in Aries should bring out conflict surrounding individuals choice and freedom. People want independence while Pluto in Capricorn and the establishment want to control the people. They want the status quo. Aries actions with Uranus can be fiery and impulsive but may not think things through. Watch out for military actions broken alliances and treaty's. Uranus also rules technology. It is no coincidence the New York stock exchange had technical computer problems last week, as did Untied Airlines.

Violence is nothing new but of particular note this coming week are Mars and Pluto and possibly extreme violence.

The obvious is the Mars and Mercury opposition to Pluto on July 15th.

The not so obvious is the Mars cycle chart. That's the chart that is drawn up when a planet crosses 0 degrees declination from South to North used in mundane Astrology.

On that chart Mars squares Uranus and opposes Pluto while Mars opposes Pluto in the Tropical Zodiac. This appears to be a period of time when violence gets extreme. This could include social unrest, plane crashes, police shootings (racial violence?), violent crime and possibly multiple terrorist attacks. Earthquakes and volcanic activity are also possible as is violent weather. Not pleasant and right in front of us.

In the middle of this we have Venus waning square Saturn, often found near Primary cycle troughs. Venus is money and Saturn is discipline, and debt. You may recall Saturn is still in mutual reception with Pluto. Saturn is in Scorpio (ruled by Pluto) and Pluto is in Capricorn (ruled by Saturn). Mutual reception makes both planets stronger.

The end of the month in particular has Venus and Uranus turning retrograde then in early August, Saturn turns direct very close to a very important aspect. This is potentially a momentous period of change for the next month. I'm looking specifically at precious metals and perhaps changes in currency or bonds and major events on the world stage. Volatility will be seen in many markets.

At this point, following are the highs in the US indexes.

I was looking at 2080, 2066 or 2050 as potential targets for this Primary cycle trough for the SP500. We did dip below the 2044 area, again giving some credence to the nominal 18 week completing.

Another chart we have not looked at for awhile is the following daily chart of the SP500 with a fan indicator. The dark blue fan line is 45 degrees. The starting point is the low at March 6, 2009. The blue 45 degree line is currently at 2080. Watch for any significant break at this level. It has been good support / resistance for some time.

There are other transits pointing to a potential stronger move down, reserved for subscribers.

I'm also back to looking for geophysical upsets, earthquakes and volcanic activity particularly mid-July and early August.

In summary I continue to look at the markets in July to be volatile but down. We may be putting in a longer term cycle low. There are stressful and potentially violent aspects this coming week and the potential for surprise moves this week and in late July / early August.

Gold

Gold put in a Primary cycle ¹ trough on March 17th. This was 1 td after the Uranus / Pluto square. This puts us entering the 17th week of the nominal 18 week during this coming week. We should be getting close to a trough over the next few weeks. Subscribers have dates. Besides the 18 week cycle there are a number of longer term cycles due and potent aspects which have a history of turns in precious metals.

Gold put in a high on Monday May 18th, the same day as Mercury turned retrograde and then headed down and it is still headed down. Gold had a Hammer Doji on Friday, a sign of bullish reversal. We sometimes see a number of hammers before the reversal takes place. The aspects I mentioned at the end of the month are potentially momentous for precious metals and possibly currencies.

The Nov 17, 2014 low near 1130 was challenged on March 17th around 1142. I'm looking for the current move down to find support in that range, 1130-1142. A reversal in Gold could occur at any time.

As noted last week, Mercury retrograde has a strong history of changes in trend for Gold close to the retrograde date. In this case it was to the day. The direct date also has a history of changes in Gold price (June 11th).

The Gold chart is fulfilling all our requirements for a nominal 18 week cycle low, that is price is below the 15 and 45 day sma's and the 15 day is less than the 45 day.

The following daily Gold chart shows the heliocentric Venus (green) and Jupiter (blue) price lines. Gold was heading down and may have found support at the Venus price line. Watch price action early in the week. The next date where the Venus and Jupiter price lines cross is July 23rd, a sesquisquare.

Crude

This coming week of July 13 we should be entering the 17th week of a Primary cycle which started Mar 18, 2015.

Crude put in a "W" bottom, marked PB (Primary bottom) and DB ( double bottom).

Crude has broken below the 23.6% Fibonacci retracement of the move down from

June 12, 2014 to March 17, 2015. Both the 15 and 45 day sma's are rolling over and price is below both. It appears to be preparing for a nominal 18 week low. Bear in mind it is difficult trading crude here. The first week in August may turn out to be eventful for crude. Any news out of Saudi Arabia or other big producers or potential disruption would change crude prices quickly.

As seen on the following chart crude finally dropped away from the Neptune price line (green) and now sits on the Neptune price line at 51.95, 2 levels below where we were a little over 2 weeks ago. They are 45 degrees apart. 45 degrees is (360 / 8) = 45 or also known as the 8th harmonic.

Subscriber ALERT - Sent out July 2, 2015

Sent to subscribers July 2, 2015

//////////////////////////////////////////

ALERT

I'm looking for the broad

indices to be down July 6th +- 1td.

July 6th has the Sun opposing Pluto and the Sun in sesquisquare (135 degrees) of Saturn.

Both somewhat negative aspects.

In addition Saturn and Pluto are in mutual reception. That is Saturn is in Scorpio, the sign that Pluto rules and Pluto is in Capricorn, the sign that Saturn rules.

This makes the effect of Saturn and Pluto stronger and these two planets are typically not favorable.

The FED will undoubtedly step in if the move is severe.

I'm expecting the month of July to be volatile but down.

Regards

SP500

For the SP500, cycle-wise we are entering the 22nd week of the Primary ¹ cycle which started on Feb. 2nd 2015. This cycle is aka, the nominal 18 week with a range of 15 to 21 weeks so we are just outside the normal range.

The market letter is now a monthly report and the July issue has been sent out. The first ALERT has been sent to subscribers last week as well. We will be sending ALERTS to subscribers with specific dates when there are imminent trading opportunities forming.

It is possible June 29th was the nominal 18 week cycle low. Price was below both the 15 day sma and the 45 day sma and the 15 day was below the 45 day. This fits a nominal 18 week cycle trough at the 21st week. As good a fit as this is I'm looking for July to be negative. This is based on key Astrological signatures sent to subscribers. My work will assume we are in the 22nd week of an older Primary, just keep in mind it's possible we have seen the trough which would be bullish.

July has many negative aspects. The Uranus / Pluto square that we have followed for a number of years is still in orb. The last exact hit was in March of this year but it's effects will be felt into 2019.

This month the Sun then Mars and Mercury will translate the Uranus / Pluto square. This should be negative/volatile for the markets and world affairs in general. There are also aspects to Saturn and Pluto. Currently Saturn and Pluto are in mutual reception meaning Saturn is in the sign Pluto rules and Pluto is in the sign Saturn rules. This typically makes the effects of both planets more powerful. Saturn in Scorpio is all about debt and other peoples money.

The Sun then Mars will form a powerful T-square with Uranus and Pluto. We should see volatility, surprise moves and possibly other news of world events. This period of unexpected moves and news should stretch into the first half of August. There should be more news than just Greece this month.

In addition to the above mentioned T-squares, the end of the month in particular has Venus and Uranus turning retrograde then in early August, Saturn turns direct very close to a very important aspect which we'll cover next month. This is potentially a momentous period of change for the next month and a half. I'm looking specifically at precious metals and perhaps changes in currency and major events on the world stage. Volatility will be seen in many markets and debt should be at center stage. Traders should do well in a volatile market.

At this point, following are the highs in the US indexes.

I was looking at 2080, 2066 or 2050 as potential targets for this Primary cycle trough for the SP500. We did dip below the 2056 area, again giving some credence to the nominal 18 week cycle hitting it's trough on June 29th.

The other current cycle we've been following is the 168 td (trading day) cycle.

I'm looking at the blue line on May 21st as being the crest of the 168 td cycle and another indication we should be moving down.

June 14th. had Saturn Retrograde moving backward into Scorpio. This is happening while Saturn is almost semi-square Pluto, the two thugs of the Zodiac. This is exact on June 20th and should emphasize the Saturn / Pluto energies. These two powerful planets are in mutual reception, that is Saturn is in Scorpio which Pluto rules and Pluto is in Capricorn which Saturn rules. This gives Pluto more support and staying power in it's role to change banking and money in general. Saturn in Scorpio creates tension and can effect the emotions in a negative way (depression?) and a detrimental effect on health. We could see a pandemic or other disease come to the fore while Saturn is in Scorpio (MERS?).

There are other transits pointing to a potential stronger move down, reserved for subscribers.

I'm also back to looking for geophysical upsets, earthquakes and volcanic activity particularly mid-month and early August.

Gold

Gold appears to have put in a put in a Primary cycle ¹ trough on March 17th. This was 1 td after the Uranus / Pluto square. This puts us entering the 16th week of the nominal 18 week during this coming week.

The Gold chart is fulfilling all our requirements for a nominal 18 week cycle low, that is price is below the 15 and 45 day sma's and the 15 day is less than the 45 day.

The following daily Gold chart shows the heliocentric Venus (green) and Jupiter (blue) price lines. Gold is heading down to either the Venus (green) price line near 1153 or the Jupiter (blue) price line currently near 1140. We should be getting close to a reversal.

Crude

This coming week of July 6 we should be entering the 16th week of a Primary cycle which started Mar 18, 2015.

Crude put in a "W" bottom, marked PB (Primary bottom) and DB ( double bottom).

Crude now sits close to the 23.6% Fibonacci retracement of the move down from

June 12, 2014 to March 17, 2015. Both the 15 and 45 day sma's are rolling over and price is below both. It appears to be preparing for a nominal 18 week low. Bear in mind it is difficult trading crude here. The first week in August may turn out to be eventful for crude. Any news out of Saudi Arabia or potential disruption would change crude prices quickly.

As seen on the following chart crude finally dropped away from the Neptune price line (green) and now sits on the next Neptune price line at 56.44. They are 45 degrees apart. 45 degrees is (360 / 8) = 45 or also known as the 8th harmonic.
