Financial Astrology - February 5, 2018



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

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 are now starting the 23rd 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, however, we may have seen the crest of this extended Primary cycle. The high so far was 2872.87 on January 26th.

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 next two weeks could be choppy. The Total Lunar Eclipse on January 31, 2018 in fixed signs did not appear to do much.

The week of Feb 4 has Pluto conjunct the heliocentric nodes of Pluto which should give Pluto more power. This moves very slowly. The last time it occurred was Feb 20, 1772 just before 1776.

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. This Solar eclipse will oppose Mars in the chart of Trump, Netanyahu and Israel. Watch for problems here. 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.

The 9 month cycle



The above chart shows the 9 month or 39 week cycle (blue vertical lines). It is due and it is late but we may have seen a crest on Jan 26th and further down.

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.

Note how the conjunction is often at a top with a quick decline. The next Mars / Vesta conjunction is Feb 5, 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

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. They need a broad orb of influence.



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.

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.

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. More on this as we get closer.

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. This chart also has the 40 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. Note how price went down and stopped on the Sun / Earth Price Line.

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 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 started a new Primary cycle on December 12.  We are entering the 8th week. December 12 was close to the Mars entering Scorpio mentioned 4 weeks ago.

We are currently at an important juncture for precious metals. Mars left Scorpio and into Sagittarius on January 26th. Heliocentrically Mercury will leave Sagittarius into Capricorn. These are signatures for a change in trend in Gold.

We may have seen the crest of the nominal 6 week cycle on January 25th and now headed for the trough. It is possible Gold will go up next week and not put in the crest until the 9th week, the ½ Primary cycle.

There is more evidence pointing to a turn down in Gold. It has been going up as the US dollar moves down. Watch the currencies to get a reading on Gold. The US Buck is trying to move up, which may indicate Gold is going down. There are a number of other indocations which are looking for precious metals to rise.

The 15 day sma is above the 45 day sma  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.

   

I’m holding Gold bought around Dec 12th. On Friday Dec 29 I tightened up sell stops instead of selling my position. I wanted to see where the US$ is early in the week.

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 February 14, 2018.

The red lines headed up are the Mars price lines. We are just above the main Mars Price lines (darker red) and braking down. Price is headed down to the Mars price line where we often get resistance.

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 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 December 8th. These can be at highs or lows. This last one 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 red circles show Mars entering Sagittarius on January 26th.



Crude

We were looking at October 6th as being the trough of the Primary cycle.  The move out of that date was the start of a Primary cycle. We are entering either the 17th week of the Primary that started on October 6th. One could make an argument for August 31 as well. As the Primary cycle average is 18 weeks we should be close to a crest.

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 sitting on the average for Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto (the blue lines)

Also watch the 15 and 45 day sma, both are moving 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.15th and now at the main Pluto price line price has hit resistance again. Watch this closely as price may go through the Pluto price line quickly,

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 2nd. That’s today, Feb 2nd and there was a good move in crude…down.
