Financial Astrology - August 13, 2018

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

SP500

The alert issued a couple of weeks ago appears to have started at the Aug 7, 2018 high and now down on Aug 10^th.Other issues came up with the USA increasing tariffs on steel, aluminum and others. Also in the mix Turkey has been holding a Pastor that the US wants released. With the negative effect on currencies there may be other geopolitical issues. Listen to the news, fake and no fake for possible additional geopolitical items.

I’ve been looking at Aug 10^th and it’s effect on the markets for some time. See the 24Harminic section in previous blog posts.

Following is the 24 Harmonic chart we have shown for many months.

The following daily chart of the SP500 is what we have been showing under the 24 Harmonic chart. Look at the area in the red circle. This is the basis of what we have been forecasting on.

In the red circle the following planets cross.

Uranus – dark red

Black – Saturn

Light blue - Jupiter

Saturn and Uranus almost make a trine but retrograde motion kept them apart while Jupiter almost make a semi-square with Saturn. These planets and aspects have a history of changing the trend in stocks.

Also hitting at this time is a 162 week cycle which is close to 3 years. For you Tesla fans

162 = ( 3 * 6  * 9 ).

I have mentioned and been looking for a significant geophysical event. I think the new tariffs on Turkey and others may be the source of a major geopolitical event.

The Primary Cycles

We should also be entering the 6th week of a new Primary cycle which started June 28. This is just 2 days away from Mars retrograde date. The Primary cycle often starts with a 6 week cycle so we may be looking for a pullback next week. Looking at the following daily chart it has already started a move down. It is sitting on the 15 day sma and above the 45 day sma. Monday August 13 will also be the 27 CD (calendar days)

As noted by a number of Astrologers as of August 7^th Uranus turns retrograde which results in 6 of the traditional 9 planets in retrograde motion (backward, or appears to be). It is unusual to have so many planets in apparent backward motion. By the end of September Mercury, Mars, Saturn and Pluto will have changed to direct motion. For those with a deeper interest in Astrology, Mars is Out Of Bounds until early October.

At the low of the Primary cycle on June 28^th price moved lower than the 15 or 45 day sma”s. The 45 day sma was lower than the 15 day sma. These are the minimum low for a Primary cycle trough.

Price has now moved above the 15 day sma and above the 45 day sma. The 15 day sma is above the 45 day sma.

On a shorter term basis I track a 27 cd (calendar day) cycle which will be due Aug 18th.

The 27 cd cycle are the red vertical lines. The 27 cd was a short term low.

The blue square which marked the recent high was the date of the Uranus retrograde.

The 9 month cycle

The above chart shows the 9 month or 39 week cycle (blue vertical lines). It was due and appears to have formed in late January. The 20 week cycle was added as well (red vertical lines). Any green lines are a combination of the 20 and 40 week cycles.

From the last few posts:

There’s more

There has been a number of volcano’s erupting as well. Japan and Hawaii.

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 is another example of a longer term cycle possibly distorting shorter term cycles. Bear in mind they need a broad orb.

The following daily chart of the SP500 shows 2 Envelope channels. Red is the centered 

20 week envelope channel. Blue is the centered 40 week envelope channel. The dark blue squares are the Sun / Neptune square which is often a short term change in trend. See the Sun / Neptune square is June 7, 2018.

We have had this noted it was due for a sell. The selling may have started.

We are entering the difficult time mentioned over the last few months.

The envelope channel charts are easy to calculate. In the above case the blue lines are based on a 40 day average but when they are plotted they are centered. For a 40 day it will be shifted by 20 days which is the ½ cycle.

The red averages are based on the 20 week so they are shifted 10 weeks or a ½ cycle.

The main path of this eclipse is as follows:

The eclipse starts in the eastern part of Canada and crosses the ocean, all of Europe and most of China and Russia. This eclipse shows a relationship to nuclear powers namely being the US and Russia. China and Russia have been forging strong economic ties. Does something happen at this eclipse or is it the beginning of some nuclear issue? With the latest news from Turkey will this be added to an already tense situation.

From :The Book of Rules” circa 1928 for Uranus / Neptune aspects.

Suddenly incapacitated, unconsciousness. Checkmated. Transition into the beyond. Crisis, dead persons. Revolution. Watch for lies and disagreements.

August 11th is the 3^rd and last  Eclipse of the summer

Gold

The Primary cycle in Gold has been difficult to ascertain. There was a Primary cycle trough on Dec 12, 2017 but determining the next Primary trough has been very difficult.

We may have seen a low on July 19^th but it must be confirmed. This was where Mercury turned direct and Jupiter trined Neptune. These would be good markers for a turn in Gold.

On occasion the Primary cycle can extend away from it’s more normal 18 week length. This looks like one of them. I’m looking for astrological aspects which have a history of changing the trend for Gold. Mars turning retrograde on June 26^th may be astrological aspect which turns Gold. The chart has Gold looking to put in a Primary cycle low.

Seasonally Gold is usually flat over the early summer months with a history of moving up starting in August.

Price is below the 15 sma and the 45 day sma.

The following chart shows two daily envelope channels like the chart for the SP500 above. The blue squares are the Sun square Neptune which often results in a short term change in trend. We should be getting close to a buy.

The following chart shows a 27 cd (calendar day) cycle (blue vertical lines). The next being Aug 22, 2018. The Moon takes 27 days to orbit the Earth and the Sun takes 27 days to revolve once at the Sun’s equator.

The red lines headed up are the Mars price lines. Gold has been moving sideways and now down since January 2018 and have found both resistance and support at the Mars price line. The darker red Mars lines are the main aspect. Moving below the dark red Mars price line was bearish now we need to move above the darker red Mars price line. It may hit resistance. Price did not go through the next Mars price line. Three weeks ago it bounced off the Mars price line.

The small x’s on the chart show when heliocentric Mercury is in Sagittarius. We often see changes in trend in Gold.

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 chart shows when Mars enters a new sign.(red squares). The next date is August 10^th but Mars is going retrograde at that time and will move backward from Aquarius to Capricorn. On September 11 Mars will re-enter Aquarius. On Nov 16 Mars moves into Pisces.

A turn is possible.

Crude

Oil appears we have put in Primary low on June 18^th and we are about to continue up or a top is forming from which we recede. We would be entering the 8th week of a new Primary cycle. I think we are 6 weeks along and in a new Primary cycle. We got the pull back we were looking for. Remember what I said about new Primary cycles. There is often a pullback in the 2 to 4 week range. We may seeing this pullback in crude.

I’m leaning to June 18 being the trough of the Primary Cycle. This was also the date Neptune turned retrograde. Neptune and Jupiter rule crude. July 5 had the Sun trine Jupiter, another aspect affecting crude. Looking forward August 19 has Jupiter trine Neptune, both co-rule crude. In addition Mercury changes to direct motion, another sign of change.

Crude price was below the 15 and 45 day sma on June 18^th.

There are many issues with Crude. The new Shanghai crude exchanged opened on March 26. This should have a negative effect of the Petrodollar (US Dollar) and possibly cause the US to lose it’s status as the world’s reserve currency. Watch this over the next few weeks / months. As Crude is sold in Yuan, purchasers are given the option to exchange Yuan to Gold. Yes there is a relatively new Gold exchange as well. They sell physical Gold rather than paper Gold as is often the case in the US. On Friday Crude was down as other commodities were also affected by the Euro moves.

Crude started up on June 18 when Neptune turned retrograde.

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. The next day would be July 24^th. Currently crude price has bounced off the Sun price line.
