SP500
The last Primary cycle low was August 21st, the day of the
Total Solar Eclipse. The standard for the Primary cycle is 18 weeks. We appeared to have put in the Primary cycle trough on
February 9th at a low of 2532.69. This was late at the 23th week. The SP500 Primary cycle has a range from 15 to 23 weeks so we are at the limit.
This has been an unusual time with the general market indices seemingly
unstoppable, however, we may have seen the crest of this extended Primary
cycle. The high for this Primary cycle was 2872.87
on January 26th.
From two weeks ago post:
“We should watch for a cycle down. A 5 - 10 % correction would be
healthy for the market at this point. I’ve put on a Fibonacci
retracement. We often go down to the “box” which in the case would include the
38.2% retracement down to the 50% retracement. It may end sooner. Ideally, I
would like to see price move below the 45 day moving average (the blue line).
We should also consider a quick reversal back up. This has been a very strong
move.”
Some of the cycles that are
coming due are:
- The
Primary Cycle (nominal 18 week) and it’s late.
- 9
month cycle
- 5
week.
These are all coming due. See
the charts below
The Primary Cycles
The week of Feb 4 had Pluto conjunct the heliocentric nodes of Pluto which
should give Pluto more power. This was exact on Feb. 8th, 2018. This moves very slowly. The last time it
occurred was Feb 20, 1772 just
before 1776. This needs a broad orb +- weeks. Pluto stands for major change,
breakdown and regeneration. Pluto can also stand for political breakdown,
organized crime and secret intelligence. We have seen all the above in the US.
Pluto also rules banking systems, stock and shares, manipulation and
corruption. This could be the source of the severe move down. It was due. It
could also be the source of the long move up. This Pluto aspect will be exact
two more times in 2018.
February 15 is a Solar eclipse. This may be made more powerful as
it opposes the August 21, 2017 Solar Eclipse. That was followed by increased
violence and very strong storms. Violence was certainly in the fore front with
the high school shootings in Florida. This Solar eclipse will oppose Mars in
the charts of Trump, Netanyahu and Israel. Watch for problems here. Either one
of the men or mid-East in general. Further on Trump transiting Saturn in the 5th
will soon be opposing his natal Mercury which is conjunct transiting Hades, a
Uranian point, and a mean one. Trump’s problem continue as Saturn will be
squaring his 2nd house Neptune. Illusion and delusion.
Some aspects coming up: On Feb 17 we have Mars in waning square to
Neptune which is also a strong signature for a Primary cycle turn. Another
reason the next few weeks should be volatile. Feb 17 Mercury enters Pisces and Feb
18, Sun enters Pisces. They both join Neptune and Venus in Pisces. Neptune
rules the sign of Pisces and the 12th house of secrets, prisons.
hospitals and all large government agencies. Neptune rules oil and gas as well.
The move down reminds me of a
number of “W” bottoms. Following are two W bottoms, one starting in August 2015
and the other starting late December 2015.
The 9 month cycle
The above chart shows the 9
month or 39 week cycle (blue vertical lines). It is due and it was late but appears
to be forming last week. The 20 week cycle was added as well (red vertical
lines)
The 3.8 – 4Year
The above weekly chart of the
SP500 shows the synodic cycle for Mars
and Vesta. The red circles are the conjunction of the two and the green
double arrows are the middle of the cycle. These are the heliocentric aspects
(Sun centered).
Note how the conjunction is
often at a top with a quick decline. The next Mars / Vesta conjunction is Feb 25, 2018.
From the last few posts:
“This coming year could see an
increase in geophysical activity, both earthquakes and volcanos.”
Following are the significant
earthquakes (> 6.0) so far in January 2018.
Jan 23 Alaska 7.9
Jan 10 Honduras 7.5
Jan 14 Peru 7.1
Jan 19 Mexico 6.3
Jan 21 Chile 6.3
Jan 25 Russia 6.2
And now
Feb 16 Mexico 7.2
On a longer term basis the
following monthly chart of the DJIA
shows the 15 year cycle (red
vertical lines) and the 45 year cycle
(blue lines). The 15 year is due now,
the 45 year due in Sept 2019. This does appear to be the 15 year cycle crest,
an inversion.
The markets may be volatile into
March. In particular the end of March has significant transits concerning the
FED. See the chart below. Both Venus and Uranus in the 10th will
square Neptune in the 1st. More deception, uncertainty and illusion.
The middle wheel is the Nata chart for the FED and the outer wheel the
transiting planets.
In May Uranus will enter Taurus. Look for financial or banking system
problems or changes. Taurus will go retrograde and then move backward into
Aries before Uranus enters Taurus for good. This may also be a problem in currencies.
Generally speaking the first
couple of months of 2018 should be volatile. There are 2 Super Moons and 2
Eclipses.
The February 15 Solar Eclipse should be strong. This is almost
opposite the August 21st eclipse last year. Both are in late Fixed
signs. Remember all the violent weather we had after last years eclipse (Aug
21) and the continuing aggression. Violence has returned.
There are two cycles associated
with eclipses. The Metonic Cycle which is 19 years ago and the Saros cycle
which is 54 years. The Saros cycle is 18, 36 then 54 years.
This Metonic cycle suggests
tensions involving the US, the Mideast and possibly Europe and the Balkans.
For the Saros cycle we have 3 dates.
18, 36, 54 years ago. 18 years ago we had the Y2K computer uproar and the .Net
bubble. 36 years ago or 1982. Government troops and Muslim fundamentals were
battling in Hanah, Syria. In the US there were large seizures of marijuana.
Also in the US there were nuclear tests at the Nevada test site. And 54 years
ago was 1964 the Beatles performed on the Ed Sullivan show. Watch for any
issues with the United Kingdom and Cyprus. Also watch Greece for any emerging
political problems.
In addition, Feb 8 +- a few, has Pluto conjunct the
heliocentric nodes of Pluto. This happens very slowly. It needs a broad
range of dates. The last time Pluto was on the heliocentric nodes of Pluto was
close to Feb 20, 1772.
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.
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. Note how price went down and stopped on the Sun / Earth Price
Line. Price touched the Sun (thick blue) price line today but finished close to
the next
The next time the two Price Lines cross is February
16. This could be a volatile period with the Solar Eclipse on February 15 and
Mars squares Neptune on February 17th.
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 March 29, 2018 and May 14, 2018 I have added 3 price lines to this chart.
-
Saturn – black
-
Uranus – purple
-
Neptune - light blue
Note the last date, Feb 9th, 2018 was the day of
the low and a big range day.
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 started a new
Primary cycle on December 12. We are
entering the 9th week. December 12 was close to the Mars entering Scorpio
mentioned a few weeks ago.
Gold
has been moving up as the US$ has moved down. It is important for Gold to stay
above 1309.
We
have seen the crest of the nominal 6 week cycle on January 25th and then
a nominal 6 week cycle trough. To continue up, Gold needs to move above the Jan
25 high.
Feb 16 was a strong Doji and may mark a high.
As
Monday is a holiday in the US watch other exchanges for a direction in Gold.
The
15 day sma is above the 45 day sma and Price is now just below the 15 day sma. 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 but has now broken through. We may see support at the 45 day sma or
the 23.6% retracement.
Most charts we include are based
on geocentric or Earth centered charts. We can also look at the Zodiac using
heliocentric or Sun centered astrology. We often see a move in Gold when
heliocentric Mercury enters heliocentric Sagittarius. It does so on January 19th
and will be there until January 29. This can be a time of volatility and change
for both stocks and precious metals.
The following chart shows
seasonal tendencies for Gold. The 2nd 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 March 13,
2018.
The red lines headed up are the Mars price lines. We arealmost on one
of the Mars price lines at the Doji on Feb 16th. We went through the
Mars price line. Moving above the dark red Mars price line was bullish now we
need to move above the Mars price line price is currently on.
Watch for support around the
Mars price line (dark red). 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 off 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 last
date was Jan 26th. These can be at highs or lows. Dec 8 was Mars entering
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, the sign that
it rules. The last red circle shows Mars entering Sagittarius on January 26th. The next sign is
Mars entering Capricorn on March 17th.
Crude
We were looking at October 6th
as being the trough of the Primary cycle.
And now a new Primary cycle trough appears to have taken place on February 9th. This is the 18th week. We may be
starting a new Primary cycle. Watch for crude price to move above the 45 day
sma then the 15 day sma.
It is quite possible we make
another low or at least attempt a low. Neptune rules Pisces, the sign it is
currently in. This weekend both Mercury and the Sun will enter Pisces. Venus is
already there. Neptune also rules oil and gas. Watch both closely. Although
cycles indicate a move up we should be aware that the US supply is increasing
possibly taking share from Russia or Saudi Arabia. Watch closely next week.
Looking just at cycles crude may move up. Fundamentals could indicate a move
down. With all the planets in Pisces
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 and now Jan 16, 2018 which was also a 27 td (trading day’s).
The horizontal red lines are the
Fibonacci retracement from Nov 14, 2016 to Feb 21, 2017.
December 2nd was the
Jupiter waning trine Neptune. A change in trend occurred on
Dec 14th.
Watch the red Fibonacci
retracement lines and the blue planetary averages. Crude price is currently moving
up I had expected some resistance at this level. The next level is currently at
64.75..
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.15th and at the main Pluto price line price (dark blue) has hit
resistance.
From last week:
“Watch this closely as price may go through the Pluto price line
quickly,”
Crude price went through approx.
3 Pluto price lines and now bounced up and stopped on the Sun price line
(green). We may get resistance here and possible move down.
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 27th.and
Nov 22. The next day they cross is February 27th.
Watch near Feb 17th
when Mars squares Neptune. Watch Lithium as well. I follow LIT, a lithium ETF
in the US.
I would think gold would not do well with planets in a water sign.
ReplyDeleteI don't have a correlation between gold and water signs.
ReplyDeleteI'm using the Tropical zodiac.
