SP500

The last Primary cycle low was August 21^st, the day of the Total Solar Eclipse. The standard for the Primary cycle is 18 weeks. We are now starting the 19th week of the SP500 Primary cycle which has a range from 15 to 23 weeks. This has been an unusual time with the general market indices seemingly unstoppable.

Some of the cycles that are coming due are:

-       The Primary Cycle (nominal 18 week)

-       9 / 18 month cycle

-       5 / 10 week.

These are all coming due. See the charts below

The Primary Cycles

The following daily chart of the SP500 shows the Bradley indicator (thick red line). It indicates a possible change in trend near Jan 8.

The 9/18 month cycle

The 5/10 week

Following up from last week we now have 4 planets in Capricorn, an Earth sign. Saturn is in Capricorn, the sign that it rules. Move carefully and with caution. Saturn is conservative in politics, practical and can exhibit limitation. This is a time to invest in new projects.  The farmer and the miner are under Saturn’s influence. Saturn is a business planet which should be emphasized when Saturn joins Jupiter in a mutation conjunction in December 2020. Much more on this later. This coming year could see an increase in geophysical activity, both earthquakes and volcanos.

Whether it is central bank money, corporate buy-backs or money from some other source we need to know the time periods where a correction is more probable. We look at Cycles and Astro events that have a history of being 65% - 72 % correct. We will continue with this approach.

We should stay aware the trends in the major US indices remain up and that is the way they should be played although the following cycles indicate a change in trend is coming.

The 1^st week in Janury 2018 has:

Jan 2   Uranus Direct – has a history of being close to a Primary cycle crest or trough.

            Super Moon   - violent weather and people

            Mars squared the North Node – team work

Jan 5   Mars semi-square Saturn separated from work

The following week is busy.

Generally speaking the first couple of month of 2018 should be volatile. There are 2 Super Moons and 2 Eclipses.

Both eclipses are strong but the strongest should be the February 15 Solar Eclipse. This is almost opposite the August 21^st eclipse last year. Both are in late Fixed signs. Remember all the violent weather we had after last years eclipse and the continuing aggression. More on this as we get closer.

In addition, Feb 8 has Pluto conjunct the heliocentric nodes of Pluto. This happens so slowly it needs a broad range of dates.

From last week

“Watch for news from or about France including countries with an influence from France like North Africa.”

There has been news out of Libya that they are selling slaves

The above combination, with Saturn, could be defining problems / restrictions for the general population, particularly the mature population and with the Sun could affect the President or other leaders. This combination could affect a number of years in the future as Saturn is in a sign for approx.. 2 ½ years. Other conditions this may highlight are State funerals, public sorrow and disappointment in general. State assets could be affected as well as industries connected to metals and mining.

The following monthly chart of the DJIA shows when Saturn has been in Capricorn (red x’s). Notice they have all had significant drops. This chart also has the 15 year cycle which will be coming due in 2018.

There could be some type of surprise coming in 2018 from the government or exposing something from the past. There could also be a major breakdown in world affairs or leaders.

The following daily chart of the SP500 shows the Jupiter price line (blue) and the Sun/Earth price line (green). Both of these price lines have a history of providing support and resistance.

When the two lines cross we often see a big range day or reversal.

I continue to watch the 24th harmonic cycle (360 / 24) cycles for short term turns. The brown squares are Sun / Saturn 24 degrees on the following daily chart. The blue vertical lines are 24 cd’s (calendar days).

The next hit is Feb 9, 2018 and March 29, 2018.  I have added 3 price lines to this chart.

-       Saturn – black

-       Uranus – purple

-       Neptune - light blue

These price lines can act as support / resistance. It has been at highs and lows. Note also when they cross often gets a reaction in price on a short-term basis. Also note, near the top of the chart is a light blue line. This is the Neptune Price Line. Note how it has been strong resistance to price but has broken through. It should act as strong support when the market turns down.

Gold

Gold appears to have started a new Primary cycle on December 12. It’s possible we get another pullback but overall, we should be headed up after a brief pullback.

Dec 12 was close to the Mars entering Scorpio mentioned last week.

The 15 day sma is below the 45 day sma and both are curling up. Price is now above both. This is the picture we want to see a Primary cycle low which is starting up.

Note on the Gold chart below, the red horizontal lines are the retracement from the move up from December 2015 to Aug 4, 2016. Gold stopped at the 23.6% retracement.

This will be interesting to see if a Gold rise is affected by BitCoin and other crypto currencies.

The following chart shows seasonal tendencies for Gold. The 2^nd half of the year, on average, is up.

The longer term.7.4 Year cycle is shown in the following weekly chart. Note we are still early in the latest 7.4 year cycle.

The following chart shows a 27 cd (calendar day) cycle (blue vertical lines). The next being December 22nd

The red lines headed up are the Mars price lines. It is approaching  one of the main Mars Price lines (darker red) again. Watch for resistance around the Mars price line. Looking at this whole chart it is based on a 24 harmonic. If you count each line from one darker red line to the next you will find there are 15 of them. 15 * 24 degrees = 360 degrees.Note price went down to Dec 12 where it bounced of a Mars Price Line.

The following daily chart of Gold shows the days Mars is entering a new sign (red squares). Look at this using +- 3 td’s (trading days). The date is December 8^th. These can be at highs or lows. This next one will be as Mars enters Scorpio the sign that it rules.  Note on the chart, Mars changing signs, to any sign often has a change in trend in Gold price. The blue circles highlight when Mars enters Scorpio.

Crude

We were looking at October 6^th as being the trough of the last Primary cycle.  The move out of that date was the start of a Primary cycle. We are entering either the 112h week of the Primary that started on October 6^th

The horizontal blue lines are the average longitude of the planets Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto (blue). Note how price stopped on August 1 and August 31, right on the average longitude. See it again on Sept 14.

The horizontal red lines are the Fibonacci retracement from Nov 14, 2016 to Feb 21, 2017.

There have been a number of aspects involving Jupiter and Neptune, which resulted in a move up from June 21^st.  Jupiter and Neptune are the co-rulers of Crude and NatGas. December 2^nd was the Jupiter waning trine Neptune. Watch for a change in trend in crude.

Watch the red Fibonacci retracement lines and the blue planetary averages.

Also watch the 15 and 45 day sma, both are curling up.  

On the following daily chart of crude note the green lines sloping up. This is the price line for the Sun/Earth. The blue lines moving horizontal is the Pluto price line (blue). The Pluto price line acted as support on Nov.15^th and now at the next level up is acting as resistance.

Note how price often follows the Sun price line up and often stops and reverses at the Pluto price line. We often get big range days when the two lines cross, like October 27^th.and Nov 22.

We want to see the Crude price break above the Pluto price line (blue) to signify Crude is going higher. Crude closed above the Pluto price line. Watch closely next week.

SP500

This will be a short post for the holiday week.

The last Primary cycle low was August 21^st, the day of the Total Solar Eclipse. The standard for the Primary cycle is 18 weeks. We are now starting the 18th week of the SP500 Primary cycle which has a range from 15 to 23 weeks. This has been an unusual time with the general market indices seemingly unstoppable.

I mentioned before the Jupiter trine Neptune and Saturn trine Uranus needed some Earth signs which is more disciplined, status quo and not apt to see rampant changes or inflation.

Before Dec 19 we had 6 planets in Fire signs and 1 in Earth signs. This will start to change Dec 19 with Saturn entering Capricorn. By Jan 11 there will be 5 planets in Earth signs. Does this mean more stability? Not if you look at January and February. In particular there are 2 Super Moons in January and then a powerful Solar Eclipse on Feb 15. More on this powerful earthquake and earthquake’s in general in late January’s post.

Whether it is central bank money, corporate buy-backs or money from some other source we need to know the time periods where a correction is more probable. We look at Cycles and Astro events that have a history of being 65% - 72 % correct. We will continue with this approach.

At the very least we should see a pull back in the markets. Planets in Earth signs should generate more caution and generally more stability in the markets. I’m looking for a slow trend down into early to mid Jan 2018.

Note the last Primary cycle low on August 21 was not very deep. Price was below the 15 and 45 day sma and the 15 day dipped just below the 45 day sma.

The following daily chart of the SP500 shows the Bradley indicator (thick red line). It indicates a possible change in trend near Jan 8. The current daily closing high was December 18^th at 2,694.97

Beyond currency and money in general 2018 may be known as the Year of the Earthquake. I would include Volcanos as well. Look for the start in the first 2 months of the year.

We should stay aware the trends in the major US indices remain up and that is the way they should be played.

I’m also looking for some type of spreading infection / disease in 2018. I’ll keep an eye on these as they may incubate in an area with no news coverage.

Last week we mentioned on Dec 9 Mars enters Scorpio, the sign that it rules along with Pluto. This has a strong relationship to changes in trend in Gold and it appears an effect on the broader market indices as well. Check the Gold chart. This is looking like the Primary cycle bottom in Gold on December 12^th but watch closely for a pull back before a bigger move.

Watch for news from or about France including countries with an influence from France like North Africa.

There is a longer term Market cycle coming due. That is the 9 / 18 month cycle as seen on the following weekly chart. I’m looking for the markets to start a move down between  Dec. 18^th

and January 10, 2018. January 8, 2018 may be the bottom.

The above combination could be defining problems / restrictions for the general population, particularly the mature population and with the Sun could affect the President or other leaders. This combination could affect a number of years in the future as Saturn is in a sign for approx.. 2 ½ years. Other conditions this may highlight are State funerals, public sorrow and disappointment in general. State assets could be affected as well as industries connected to metals and mining.

The following monthly chart of the DJIA shows when Saturn has been in Capricorn (red x’s). Notice they have all had significant drops. This chart also has the 15 year cycle which will be coming due in 2018.

Gold

Gold is in it’s 2nd week with a Primary low on December 12^th. Expect a pullback 2 to 3 weeks along. Also expect Gold to continue up into late January / February 2018.

Dec 12 was close to the Mars entering Scorpio mentioned last week.

The 15 day sma is below the 45 day sma and both are curling down. Price is below both. This is the picture we want to seat a Primary cycle low.

Note on the Gold chart below, the red horizontal lines are the retracement from the move up from December 2015 to Aug 4, 2016. Gold stopped at the 38.2% retracement.

This will be interesting to see if a Gold rise is affected by BitCoin and other crypto currencies.

The following chart shows seasonal tendencies for Gold. The 2^nd half of the year, on average, is up.

The longer term.7.4 Year cycle is shown in the following weekly chart. Note we are still early in the latest 7.4 year cycle.

The following chart shows a 27 cd (calendar day) cycle (blue vertical lines). The next being December 22nd

The red lines headed up are the Mars price lines. It has hit one of the main Mars Price lines (darker red) and got support here. Looking at this whole chart it is based on a 24 harmonic. If you count each line from one darker red line to the next you will find there are 15 of them. 15 * 24 degrees = 360 degrees.Note price went down to Dec 12 where it bounced of a Mars Price Line.

The following daily chart of Gold shows the days Mars is entering a new sign (red squares). Look at this using +- 3 td’s (trading days). The date is December 8^th. These can be at highs or lows. This next one will be as Mars enters Scorpio the sign that it rules.  Note on the chart, Mars changing signs, to any sign often has a change in trend in Gold price. The blue circles highlight when Mars enters Scorpio.

Crude

We were looking at October 6^th as being the trough of the last Primary cycle.  The move out of that date was the start of a Primary cycle. We are entering either the 11th week of the Primary that started on October 6^th

The horizontal blue lines are the average longitude of the planets Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto (blue). Note how price stopped on August 1 and August 31, right on the average longitude. See it again on Sept 14.

The horizontal red lines are the Fibonacci retracement from Nov 14, 2016 to Feb 21, 2017.

There have been a number of aspects involving Jupiter and Neptune, which resulted in a move up from June 21^st.  Jupiter and Neptune are the co-rulers of Crude and NatGas. December 2^nd was the Jupiter waning trine Neptune. Watch for a change in trend in crude.

Watch the red Fibonacci retracement lines and the blue planetary averages.

Also watch the 15 and 45 day sma. The 15 day is curling over while the 45 day sma is headed up. And is below price.

SP500 December 18

The last Primary cycle low was August 21^st, the day of the Total Solar Eclipse. The standard for the Primary cycle is 18 weeks. We are now starting the 17th week of the SP500 Primary cycle which has a range from 15 to 23 weeks. This has been an unusual time with the general market indices seemingly unstoppable.

I mentioned before the Jupiter trine Neptune and Saturn trine Uranus needed some Earth signs which is more disciplined, status quo and not apt to see rampant changes or inflation.

We currently have 6 planets in Fire signs and 1 in Earth signs. This will start to change Dec 19 with Saturn entering Capricorn. By Jan 11 there will be 5 planets in Earth signs.

Last week we mentioned on Dec 9 Mars enters Scorpio, the sign that it rules along with Pluto. This has a strong relationship to changes in trend in Gold and it appears an effect on the broader market indices as well. Check the Gold chart. This may have been the Primary cycle bottom in Gold but watch closely for a pull back before a bigger move.

Other aspects with an effect on the markets are:

Dec 19             Saturn enters Capricorn

Dec 20             Venus trine Uranus

Dec 21             Sun enters Capricorn and conjuncts Saturn.

Dec 22             Mercury turns Direct

Merry xMas

The following week may be more active as Saturn enters Capricorn, the sign that it rules.

Watch for news from or about France including countries with an influence from France like North Africa.

There is a longer term Market cycle coming due. That is the 9 / 18 month cycle as seen on the following weekly chart. I’m looking for the markets to start a move down between  Dec. 18^th

and January 10, 2018. January 8, 2018 may be the bottom.

The above combination could be defining problems / restrictions for the general population, particularly the mature population and with the Sun could affect the President or other leaders.

Price ended on the Jupiter Price Line on Dec 8. When the two lines cross we often see a big range day or reversal.

I continue to watch the 24th harmonic cycle (360 / 24) cycles for short term turns. The brown squares are Sun / Saturn 24 degrees on the following daily chart. The blue vertical lines are 24 cd’s (calendar days).

The next hit is Dec. 21^st and Jan 5, 2018.

I have added 3 price lines to this chart.

Saturn - black

Uranus - purple

Neptune - light blue

These price lines can act as support / resistance. It has been at highs and lows. Note also when they cross often gets a reaction in price on a short-term basis. Also note, near the top of the chart is a light blue line. This is the Neptune Price Line. Note how it has been strong resistance to price but has broken through. It should act as strong support when the market turns down.

Also watch around November 10 / 11 where the Saturn and Uranus Price Lines cross.

I’m watching Bitcoins, but just watching.

Gold

Gold is in it’s 23^rd week unless December 12 was the Primary cycle low. At this point it cannot be confirmed although I’m leaning to that outcome. It’s possible we get another pullback but overall, we should be headed up within the next couple of weeks.

Dec 12 was close to the Mars entering Scorpio mentioned last week.

The 15 day sma is below the 45 day sma and both are curling down. Price is below both. This is the picture we want to seat a Primary cycle low.

Note on the Gold chart below, the red horizontal lines are the retracement from the move up from December 2015 to Aug 4, 2016. Gold stopped at the 38.2% retracement.

Crude

We were looking at October 6^th as being the trough of the last Primary cycle.  The move out of that date was the start of a Primary cycle. We are entering either the 11th week of the Primary that started on October 6^th

The horizontal blue lines are the average longitude of the planets Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto (blue). Note how price stopped on August 1 and August 31, right on the average longitude. See it again on Sept 14.

The horizontal red lines are the Fibonacci retracement from Nov 14, 2016 to Feb 21, 2017.

There have been a number of aspects involving Jupiter and Neptune, which resulted in a move up from June 21^st.  Jupiter and Neptune are the co-rulers of Crude and NatGas. December 2^nd was the Jupiter waning trine Neptune. Watch for a change in trend in crude.

Watch the red Fibonacci retracement lines and the blue planetary averages.

Also watch the 15 and 45 day sma. The 15 day is curling over while the 45 day sma is headed up. And is below price.

On the following daily chart of crude note the green lines sloping up. This is the price line for the Sun/Earth. The blue lines moving horizontal is the Pluto price line (blue). The Pluto price line acted as support on Nov.15^th and now at the next level up is acting as resistance.

Note how price often follows the Sun price line up and often stops and reverses at the Pluto price line. We often get big range days when the two lines cross, like October 27^th.and Nov 22.

We want to see the Crude price break above the Pluto price line (blue) to signify Crude is going higher.

SP500

The last Primary cycle low was August 21^st, the day of the Total Solar Eclipse.

We are now starting the 15th week of the SP500 primary cycle which has a range from 15 to 23 weeks. This has been an unusual time with the general market indices seemingly unstoppable.

Whether it is central bank money, corporate buy-backs or money from some other source we need to know the time periods where a correction is more probable. We look at Cycles and Astro events that have a history of being 65% - 72 % correct. We will continue with this approach.

Note this last Primary cycle low on August 21 was not very deep. Price was below the 15 and 45 day sma and the 15 day dipped just below the 45 day sma.

The following daily chart of the SP500 shows the Bradley indicator (thick red line). It indicates a possible change in trend near Dec 13, or Dec 22 or Jan 2. The current daily closing high was December 8^th at 2651.50.

We should stay aware the trends in the major US indices remain up and that is the way they should be played.

Astrology wise, on Dec 9 Mars enters Scorpio, the sign that it rules along with Pluto. This has a strong relationship to changes in trend in Gold and it appears an effect on the broader market indices as well.

There are a few others but that appears to be the strongest aspect next week.

Other aspects with an effect on the markets are:

Dec 10             Venus square Neptune

Dec 12             Mercury Inferior conjunction.

Dec 14             Venus trine the North Node

Dec 16             Saturn quintile Neptune (may be the start of a move down)

Dec 16             Sun trine Uranus

The following week may be more active as Saturn enters Capricorn, the sign that it rules. The Sun will enter Capricorn and conjunct Saturn on Dec 21, the Winter Solstice.

This is the beginning of an increase in planets in Earth signs. This should help defray the illusion / delusion of the Jupiter / Neptune trine that was exact on Dec. 2^nd. There will be two more exact trines for Jupiter and Neptune in 2018. It may reign in the Jupiter / Neptune trine.

On Dec 2 Jupiter trines Neptune. On Dec 3 Mercury turns retrograde and the Sun squares Neptune. The latter two aspects have a history of changes in trend as does Jupiter trine Neptune.

This cycle, Jupiter waning trine Neptune,  is idealistic and ideological. It seems related to the unfoldment of idealistic and religious belief systems.

Economically it can produce a period of boom and optimism, but also, “pie in the sky” plans and rampant inflation. This aspect needs and will soon be getting some planets in Earth signs, which it has not had much of with the exception of Pluto in Capricorn. Although a trine between Jupiter and Neptune would seem positive, with Neptune involved it could be illusion / delusion. So far the markets have soared.

Barbault related this aspect to the socialist economies of the Eastern bloc and more specifically to France.

Watch for news from or about France including countries with an influence from France like North Africa.

There is a longer term Market cycle coming due. That is the 9 / 18 month cycle as seen on the following weekly chart. I’m looking for the markets to start a move down between  Dec. 18^th

and January 10, 2018.

The above combination could be defining problems / restrictions for the general population, particularly the mature population and with the Sun could affect the President or other leaders. This combination could affect a number of years in the future as Saturn is in a sign for approx.. 2 ½ years. Other conditions this may highlight are State funerals, public sorrow and disappointment in general. State assets could be affected as well as industries connected to metals and mining.

The following monthly chart of the DJIA shows when Saturn has been in Capricorn (red x’s). Notice they have all had significant drops. This chart also has the 15 year cycle which will be coming due in 2018.

The following daily chart of the SP500 shows the Jupiter price line (blue) and the Sun/Earth price line (green). Both of these price lines have a history of providing support and resistance.

Price ended on the Jupiter Price Line on Dec 8.

I continue to watch the 24th harmonic cycle (360 / 24) cycles for short term turns. The brown squares are Sun / Saturn 24 degrees on the following daily chart. The blue vertical lines are 24 cd’s (calendar days).

The next hit is Dec. 21^st and Jan 5, 2018.

I have added 3 price lines to this chart.

Saturn - black

Uranus - purple

Neptune - light blue

These price lines can act as support / resistance. It has been at highs and lows. Note also when they cross often gets a reaction in price on a short-term basis. Also note, near the top of the chart is a light blue line. This is the Neptune Price Line. Note how it has been strong resistance to price but has broken through. It should act as strong support when the market turns down.

Also watch around November 10 / 11 where the Saturn and Uranus Price Lines cross.

I’m watching Bitcoins, but just watching.

Gold

Gold put in an impressive rally into Sept. 8th. July 10^th was a Primary cycle low and we are now 21 weeks along. It is possible October 6^th was a Primary cycle low. Much will depend on where Gold goes from here. A Primary low on October 6^th puts us 9 weeks along in a new Primary cycle. Remember the 6 week and 9 ½ week are typical cycle lengths for cycles in Gold. The Primary cycle has an average length of 18 weeks but has a range from 15 to 22 weeks.

The 15 day sma is just below the 45 day sma and both are curling down.

Note on the Gold chart below, the red horizontal lines are the retracement from the move up from December 2015 to Aug 4, 2016. Gold stopped at the 38.2% retracement.

Also note the low on Oct. 27^th is close to the Oct 6 low and if you look back this area has been support and resistance. I wanted to see this area hold. It has held. It has not.

The following chart shows seasonal tendencies for Gold. The 2^nd half of the year, on average, is up.

The longer term.7.4 Year cycle is shown in the following weekly chart. Note we are still early in the latest 7.4 year cycle.

The following chart shows a 27 cd (calendar day) cycle (blue vertical lines). The next being December 22nd

The red lines headed up are the Mars price lines. It has hit one of the main Mars Price lines (darker red) and got support here. Looking at this whole chart it is based on a 24 harmonic. If you count each line from one darker red line to the next you will find there are 15 of them. 15 * 24 degrees = 360 degrees.

The following daily chart of Gold shows the days Mars is entering a new sign (red squares). Look at this using +- 3 td’s (trading days). The next date is December 8^th. These can be at highs or lows. This next one will be as Mars enters Scorpio the sign that it rules.  Note on the chart, Mars changing signs, to any sign often has a change in trend in Gold price. The blue circles highlight when Mars enters Scorpio.

Crude

We were looking at June 21^st or October 6^th as being the trough of the last Primary cycle.  The move out of that date was the start of a Primary cycle. We are entering either the 9th week of the Primary that started on October 6^th and possibly we are still working off the Primary low of June 21, 2017 and 25 weeks along. I’m looking at this as Oct 6 cycle, 9 weeks along.

November 3 crude broke through both the $55.00 Fib (red)area and the planetary average longitude for the planets from Jupiter to Pluto, blue horizontal line. This area acted as strong support on November 15^th but continued higher. Watch for the next planetary average at 59.82.

The horizontal blue lines are the average longitude of the planets Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto (blue). Note how price stopped on August 1 and August 31, right on the average longitude. See it again on Sept 14.

The horizontal red lines are the Fibonacci retracement from Nov 14, 2016 to Feb 21, 2017.

There have been a number of aspects involving Jupiter and Neptune, which resulted in a move up from June 21^st.  Jupiter and Neptune are the co-rulers of Crude and NatGas. December 2^nd was the Jupiter waning trine Neptune. Watch for a change in trend in crude.

Watch the red Fibonacci retracement lines and the blue planetary averages.

Also watch the 15 and 45 day sma. Both are pointed up with price rising above both. This has been a strong move.

On the following daily chart of crude note the green lines sloping up. This is the price line for the Sun/Earth. The blue lines moving horizontal is the Pluto price line (blue). The Pluto price line acted as support on Nov.15^th and now at the next level up is acting as resistance.

Note how price often follows the Sun price line up and often stops and reverses at the Pluto price line. We often get big range days when the two lines cross, like October 27^th.and Nov 22.

Financial Astrology - December 4, 2017

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

SP500

The last Primary cycle low was August 21^st, the day of the Total Solar Eclipse.

We are now starting the 14th week of the SP500 primary cycle which has a range from 15 to 23 weeks. This has been an unusual time with the general market indices seemingly unstoppable.

Price dipped briefly on Nov.15 and then continued up.

Whether it is central bank money, corporate buy-backs or money from some other source we need to know the time periods where a correction is more probable. We look at Cycles and Astro events that have a history of being 65% - 72 % correct. We will continue with this approach.

Note this last Primary cycle low on August 21 was not very deep. Price was below the 15 and 45 day sma and the 15 day dipped just below the 45 day sma.

The following daily chart of the SP500 shows the adjusted Bradley indicator (thick green line). It indicates a possible, I emphasize possible, change in trend near Dec 4. The current daily closing high was November 30^th at 2667.84

November 24 / 25 is also a Martin Armstrong turn date. Look for surprise events. The Martin Armstrong turn dates are based on his Economic Confidence model. It is defining turns for the world economy although they often show up as turns in the markets.

We should stay aware the trends in the major US indices remain up and that is the way they should be played.

Astrology wise, early next week should be somewhat quieter until Friday Dec. 1 when we have a Perigee Full Moon over the weekend, Mars in opposition to Uranus and Venus entering Sagittarius. Perigee Full Moons often see an earthquake.

On Dec 2 Jupiter trines Neptune. On Dec 3 Mercury turns retrograde and the Sun squares Neptune. The latter two aspects have a history of changes in trend as does Jupiter trine Neptune.

This cycle, Jupiter waning trine Neptune,  is idealistic and ideological. It seems related to the unfoldment of idealistic and religious belief systems.

Economically it can produce a period of boom and optimism, but also, “pie in the sky” plans and rampant inflation. This aspect needs some Earth signs, which it has not had much of with the exception of Pluto in Capricorn.

Barbault related this aspect to the socialist economies of the Eastern bloc and more specifically to France.

Watch for news from or about France including countries with an influence from France like North Africa. After its exact trine between Jupiter and Neptune we will have an increase in Earth signs starting with Saturn and the Sun entering Capricorn in the third week of December.

On December 1 Saturn will conjunct the Galactic Center. This can cause volatility in the markets.

We are going to receive a dose of Earth signs starting December 18 when Saturn enters Capricorn. This is the sign Saturn rules and should increase Earth energies. Capricorn is an Earth sign. Later that week the Sun will enter Capricorn and conjunct Saturn. We will go from very little Earth energies to a lot. This may put a hold on the fanciful aspects of the Jupiter / Neptune trine.

There is a longer term Market cycle coming due. That is the 9 / 18 month cycle as seen on the following weekly chart. I’m looking for the markets to start a move down by Dec. 6^th. Subscribers look for the Mystery Cycle.

For the Astrologers in the group Dec 6^th also has the Sun conjunct the heliocentric nodes of Uranus.

Also of note on the Winter Solstice, Dec 21^st, when the Sun enters Capricorn, Saturn will conjunct the Sun and move into Capricorn as well. Saturn is in it’s rulership in Capricorn. This could be a difficult period although it may reign in the Jupiter / Neptune trine energies.

The above combination could be defining problems / restrictions for the general population, particularly the mature population and with the Sun could affect the President or other leaders. This combination could affect a number of years in the future as Saturn is in a sign for approx.. 2 ½ years. Other conditions this may highlight are State funerals, public sorrow and disappointment in general. State assets could be affected as well as industries connected to metals and mining.

The following monthly chart of the DJIA shows when Saturn has been in Capricorn (red x’s). Notice they have all had significant drops. This chart also has the 15 year cycle which will be coming due in 2018.

The following daily chart of the SP500 shows the Jupiter price line (blue) and the Sun/Earth price line (green). Both of these price lines have a history of providing support and resistance.

Price has just followed the Sun/ Earth price line down and then bounced up on Nov, 16 and 17^th.

The next weekly chart shows the 33 week cycle (light blue circles). It has come in at highs and lows and appears to be close to the 9 month cycle which should be putting in lows in December.

<33 week="">

I continue to watch the 24th harmonic cycle (360 / 24) cycles for short term turns. The brown squares are Sun / Saturn 24 degrees on the following daily chart. The blue vertical lines are 24 cd’s (calendar days).

The next hit is Dec.5^th, Dec. 21^st.

I have added 3 price lines to this chart.

Saturn - black

Uranus - purple

Neptune - light blue

These price lines can act as support / resistance. It has been at highs and lows. Note also when they cross often gets a reaction in price on a short-term basis. Also note, near the top of the chart is a light blue line. This is the Neptune Price Line. Note how it has been strong resistance to price but has broken through. It should act as strong support when the market turns down.

Also watch around November 10 / 11 where the Saturn and Uranus Price Lines cross.

Gold

Gold put in an impressive rally into Sept. 8th. July 10^th was a Primary cycle low and we are now 20 weeks along. It is possible October 6^th was a Primary cycle low. Much will depend on where Gold goes from here. A Primary low on October 6^th puts us 8 weeks along in a new Primary cycle. Remember the 6 week and 9 ½ week are typical cycle lengths for cycles in Gold. The Primary cycle has an average length of 18 weeks but has a range from 15 to 22 weeks.

The 15 day sma is above the 45 day sma but curling up.

Note on the Gold chart below, the red horizontal lines are the retracement from the move up from December 2015 to Aug 4, 2016. Gold stopped at the 23.6% retracement.

Also note the low on Oct. 27^th is close to the Oct 6 low and if you look back this area has been support and resistance. I wanted to see this area hold. It has held.

Monday, Nov 20 was the 39 day cycle. This is the vertical blue lines. We often see a short term pullback

The following chart shows seasonal tendencies for Gold. The 2^nd half of the year, on average, is up.

The longer term.7.4 Year cycle is shown in the following weekly chart. Note we are still early in the latest 7.4 year cycle.

The following chart shows a 27 cd (calendar day) cycle (blue vertical lines). The next being December 22nd

The red lines headed up are the Mars price lines. It has hit one of the main Mars Price lines (darker red) and got support here. Looking at this whole chart it is based on a 24 harmonic. If you count each line from one darker red line to the next you will find there are 15 of them. 15 * 24 degrees = 360 degrees.

The following daily chart of Gold shows the days Mars is entering a new sign (red squares). Look at this using +- 3 td’s (trading days). The next date is December 8^th. These can be at highs or lows. This next one will be as Mars enters Scorpio the sign that it rules and in it's greatest strength.

Crude

We were looking at June 21^st or October 6^th as being the trough of the last Primary cycle.  The move out of that date was the start of a Primary cycle. We are entering either the 8th week of the Primary that started on October 6^th and possibly we are still working off the Primary low of June 21, 2017 and 24 weeks along. I’m looking at this as Oct 6 cycle,8 weeks along.

November 3 crude broke through both the $55.00 Fib (red)area and the planetary average longitude for the planets from Jupiter to Pluto, blue horizontal line. This area acted as strong support on November 15^th but continued higher. Watch for the next planetary average at 59.74.

The horizontal blue lines are the average longitude of the planets Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto (blue). Note how price stopped on August 1 and August 31, right on the average longitude. See it again on Sept 14.

The horizontal red lines are the Fibonacci retracement from Nov 14, 2016 to Feb 21, 2017.

There have been a number of aspects involving Jupiter and Neptune, which resulted in a move up from June 21^st.  Jupiter and Neptune are the co-rulers of Crude and NatGas. December 2^nd will be the Jupiter waning trine Neptune. Watch for a change in trend in crude.

Watch the red Fibonacci retracement lines and the blue planetary averages.

Also watch the 15 and 45 day sma. Both are pointed up with price rising above both. This has been a strong move.

On the following daily chart of crude note the green lines sloping up. This is the price line for the Sun/Earth. The blue lines moving horizontal is the Pluto price line (blue). The Pluto price line acted as support on Nov.15^th.

Note how price often follows the Sun price line up and often stops and reverses at the Pluto price line. We often get big range days when the two lines cross, like October 27^th.and Nov 22.
