Financial Astrology - January 4, 2015


SP500
The markets were moving down during the low volume, slow Christmas week.  The move down leaves us lower than Dec 5th, which I thought would be the high. As it turns out it may have been close.  

For the SP500, Cycle-wise we are in the 12th week of a Primary  1  cycle (aka, the nominal 18 week with a range of 15 to 21 weeks) starting at the Oct 15th low.

The long discussed 6th instance of the Uranus / Pluto waxing square was exact on Monday, Dec 15th and will be in orb until the 7th and last square in this series is March 16, 2015. The two planets will be very close for the next 3 months. Perhaps we will see the dramatic moves in the markets we have expected as a number of planets make aspects to the Uranus, Pluto square.

This coming month, January, will witness a number of astrological aspects which could be explosive both for the markets and world events in general. This period of time, that the Uranus Pluto square has been active, has put a spotlight on ideological extremism. This has been seen in the fanaticism of ISIL and warring factions of political parties in many countries.

We won't have long to wait as the Sun will translate the Uranus / Pluto square on January 3, 2015 +- a couple of TD's (trading days). This time period may generate some world event as there is another astrological event on the weekend as well. If there is no significant event early next week there is another such time frame, and probably stronger, later in the month. This first quarter should be very telling for the rest of the year. Any time we have Pluto involved in an aspect we should consider "debt" as being an issue.

As a general statement going forward. For the past couple of years I have been forecasting troughs and crests in the general market indices. There has been no mention of market crashes or more dire events. The strength of the market has been impressive although it may have been manipulated up in the US and other markets, ex. Japan.

For 2015 and the first quarter of 2016 we'll be looking to call a more severe market turn and possible crash. More precise time frames are reserved for subscribers.

There are a number of longer term market cycles that could hit in 2015. Two we've discussed before are the 4 year cycle and the 6 year cycle. There are a number of longer term cycles as well which are covered in the market letter.

Historically we are entering the strong period of the year for the markets but, the first quarter of 2015 has many astrological events which may appear extreme and negative for the markets. It will be interesting to see how the central banks of the world react if there is a strong move in the market, either up or down.

Gold
Gold put in a trough on Nov 7th. This would put us in the 9th week of it's Primary cycle   1  (nominal 18 week) during this coming week, Dec 22 may have been the nominal 6 week low but we have had poor progress out of the trough if Dec 22 was indeed the low.

Gold is still sitting on the downward sloping trend line (light blue) and leaves Gold almost on the 45 day simple moving average (sma). The high for the day touched the 15 day sma.

If this recent action is to turn out positive for Gold it has to start moving up with some conviction almost immediately. Perhaps some extreme event will get precious metals moving up. Watch precious metals early in the week for a move (up or down) as both the Sun and Pluto, which have an effect on Gold are in aspect over the weekend.



Silver also appears to be in the 9th week of it's Primary cycle cycle  1 on
Nov 7th. looks like the Primary cycle (nominal 18 week cycle) trough. Like Gold, Silver needs to move up with some conviction or it is in danger of a sharp move down.



Crude
This week should start the 17th week of the Primary cycle. I expect a period of sideways consolidation looking for crude to settle in a range around $50.00-55.00 .

The questions are how long will it take demand to clear built up inventories of crude world wide and how much will continuing weak demand in 2015 effect crude inventories in 2015. I'm also expecting an increase in war like activity in the first quarter of 2015. If this affects any crude producing countries we could see an abrupt change in crude prices.

Astrologically there are aspects this weekend which could affect crude and also around Jan 15-21st.

Financial Astrology - Sept, 28, 2014


First of all let me thank the many subscribers who emailed in congratulating the call for Sept. 25th. It's not often we get such a big move on the exact date forecast but this was fairly obvious. A number of subscribers paid for their subscription many times over. If you missed out on the Sept 25th date, don't worry. There will be many more. One possibly very soon.

From last weeks subscriber  market letter:
"In addition on Sept 25 the Moon passes over the point, where the Sun will be during the Oct 8th Lunar Eclipse. The Moon will also be opposing Uranus on Sept 25th. Putting this together there appears to be some surprise and may have something to do with the US$ or some other currencies. I'm looking at this as an event or a secret comes out that effects the US$ or other currencies. This may be just the start. This period around Sept 25th should turn out to be significant."

Trading Note: It's difficult to short the market when you expect a pullback after a long bullish period. You could short the index via an ETF or buy puts. In instances like this I put in resting buy orders on 2 times reverse ETF's and then let the market take me in if it goes down.

SP500
We are entering the 8th week of the Primary cycle  1  (nominal 18 week) which started on Aug 7th. There are potentially a number of longer term cycles due in the next couple of months. September has a number of intermediate cycles due. We have just put in the first Major cycle (nominal 6 week) of the Primary  1 cycle with the low which I have changed to Sept 25th. This was also the 224 cd cycle trough.

From last weeks blog post:
"So normally the SP500 should be back in bullish mode as it starts it's 2nd Major cycle of the Primary cycle.

I said normally because we have a number of Astrological events that have a history of occurring around trend changes. These start next week and carry on through to Oct 23, the partial Solar eclipse."

Following is a daily chart of the SP500 with the nominal 6 week trough and shows the area for the potential low for this 18 week cycle.



The 224 cd (calendar day) cycle troughed out with the nominal 6 week low on Sept 25.



The 168 td (trading day) cycle turned down on the high just like previous highs.



The next couple of weeks should continue the volatile swings.  This coming week of September 29 starts a little quieter on the Astro front, but does have Mars moving "Out of Bounds" by declination. There are two major Astrological events coming up. Their force should start to be felt this week.

First, the Jupiter, Uranus trine will be joined by Mars making it a grand trine in fire signs. This will be most exact during the week of Oct. 5th. This has the potential of being quite positive and innovative with a possible break through in one of the sciences. We may find people to be more bold, challenging and outspoken, including ourselves. Watch for this in your personal lives. Remember I said has the potential.

Metaphysical Interlude:
A brief note on trines or 3rd harmonic aspects vs hard aspects (squares, oppositions etc.) or 8th harmonic aspects. With trines, the energy is smooth flowing between the planets involved. Everything is running smooth so there's no need for action. With the hard aspects the energy is not smooth flowing, it is disruptive and prods people to action. The point is trines feel so "nice" people sit back and enjoy the feelings of the trine and nothing gets accomplished. Squares and other 8th harmonic aspects prod people / groups to get up and do something. Action takes place as the result. This can also equate to manifestation in the physical world while trines, many times, do not manifest in the physical world and result in positive feelings only. Put down the phone, turn off the TV, get off the couch and do something. The grand trine will then be of help to you. Enough of our metaphysical rant and on with the forecast.

This grand trine includes Mars so I expect some action. The fact all 3 planets are in fire signs should be creative. Mars in Sagittarius, Uranus in Aries and Jupiter in Leo. There is certainly an element of luck in this grand trine. With all the problems in the world it would be most beneficial to use this grand trine's energy to tackle some of the most pressing difficulties. It does seem to address freedom.

On the other side of the coin we have the Sun then Venus translating the Uranus / Pluto waxing square. In fact the Lunar eclipse of Oct 8th forms a T-square with the forming Uranus / Pluto waxing square creating a T-square with Pluto as the focal planet. The focal planet will express the energy of the T-square. Pluto is in Capricorn and still very close to the heliocentric Jupiter nodes, a power point in the Zodiac. Pluto is all about debt, deficits and taxes. If we include Kronos (a Uranian point) we have a grand square. This would appear to be quite negative. Could debt or defaults be affecting Uranus freedoms?

The subscribers will have all the exact dates. For our purposes here the period around
Oct 8th should be very important. If a sovereign debt issue comes up, these aspects could be pointing in that direction, it's obviously going to have a very negative affect on the markets.

On Sept 25th the Moon was on the spot where the Sun will be during the lunar eclipse, opposite Uranus. It invoked fear in the markets and a sharp down move. We may get a repeat performance close to the Lunar eclipse date. The issue of freedom I originally saw may turn out to be the curtailment of freedom due to debt / default issues. Following is some history of eclipses on a daily chart of the SP500. Lunar eclipses ( blue circle) Solar eclipses (red circles). More details on eclipses are in the subscribers letter.



Mars will be in Sagittarius until October 26th. Expect volatility in many markets.

The Pluto and Uranus waxing square will be coming back into focus over the coming weeks.  It will be an exact waxing square on Dec 15. This will be the 6th exact square in this series of 7 exact squares. The last square in this series is March 16, 2015. The period around both these dates, Dec 15, 2014 and March 16, 2015 could be troublesome on the world stage and the financial markets in particular.

I view this aspect as the aspect which has given rise to many of the world's difficult events over the past couple of years particularly debt, secretive financial manipulation, taxes etc.  This is a very long term aspects and I give it +- 1 month in orb. It is an aspect that colors the background of history for a number of years. We have covered the Uranus Pluto in waxing square extensively in previous posts. We will do so again as we get closer.

In summary I am looking for market volatility for 5 to 6 weeks. There are a number of significant aspects occurring over the next 2 weeks. Although this coming week markets may start slowly, critical aspects start Oct 4 through to Oct 11 with Oct 8th, the Lunar eclipse potentially being the trigger to set off a market event. This Lunar eclipse should be given a few days either side but the T-square formation mentioned above may be the catalyst to set things off. With Pluto as the focal point of a T-square we could be looking at a sovereign debt default or other debt problem. I've mentioned the US$ for the last couple of weeks. Keep watching currencies and the US$. There could be a quick move in the Oct 8th time frame +- a few .

Gold
Gold is in the 17th week of it's Primary cycle cycle  1  (nominal 18 week). After a couple of weeks of free fall, Gold at least went sideways last week. We may be close to an 18 week low. I'm watching for a break above the 1239 area. That's the 23.6% retracement of the move down from July 10th to Sept 25th. There's that date again. It's quite possible Sept 25th was the trough of the Primary cycle. It's in the range of the Pluto direct aspect on Sept 22nd.



Two other charts pointing to a potential reversal in Gold follow. Be advised, if Gold does reverse here it could be entering a left translated cycle. That could mean after a brief bullish rise it may turn bearish early. Keep this in mind.

The following weekly chart shows the heliocentric Jupiter price line. It has acted as support for Gold in the past as seen on the following chart.



There is another shorter term aspect which is the 7th harmonic aspect between the Sun and Jupiter. The following daily chart shows some history. It has marked short term trend changes. The next exact date is Sept. 30th.



I've been working on the premise that June 28, 2013 was the 4.5 year cycle low in Gold and Dec 31, 2013 was a retest. If Gold goes below 1180 we may be seeing the 4.5 year low unfolding now.

Silver is in the 18th week of it's Primary cycle cycle  1 . Like Gold we are lower in price than at the start of the Primary cycle on May 30, 2014. The Primary cycle is also left translated, which is bearish. Watch this week.

Silver was below the 200 level in the CCI (Commodity channel index), a level from which Silver often makes a move higher within a couple of weeks. It was sitting on the 1.236 Fib level for the move up from May 30, 2014 to July 11, 2014 on Sept 19th. Watch this level which is at 17.86 on the following daily chart. Were late in the 18th week cycle.



Crude
Nobody sounds the trumpet when cycles end. Crude may have put in it's Primary cycle cycle 1  trough on Sept 22nd. We would therefore be in the 1st week of a new Primary cycle or the 22nd week of an older cycle. I suspect we are in a new Primary which should be bullish. I bought a bullish crude ETF on Friday.

If this is a new cycle we must bear in mind it could be left translated and therefore we would get the top early in the cycle. Many commodities have been going through a deflationary period at least partly attributable to the high US$. I'm referring to WTIC crude.



On a longer term basis, Crude could drop to the 85.00/CL area in the 4th quarter of 2014

Financial Astrology - April 17, 2014

We are approaching the key date outlined in the 2014 forecast dates subscription. This time frame was first mentioned in a June 2013 post and many posts since.

The post will be short this week as we will be researching the major forecast dates for the SP500 for the 2nd half of 2014 on the week-end and we are awaiting dramatic world events. We'll be adding PayPal and VISA on the blog in May.

From the March 20th Post
Summary
"This could be a signature for war or rumors of war, either further activity in the Ukraine or another area of the world. If this is a market or financial system event it may be a decision made by financial powers that won't be disclosed immediately. In this time frame the G20 nations will meet (I believe April 11-14). Could a radical change to the world's financial system be on the agenda? Will we know all the decisions that are made? As noted above this could involve a major bankruptcy. Nation's can go bankrupt. This could also be a signature for a change in the world's reserve currency although I've been thinking this is a 2015 event. This should be watched closely.

I'll mention nuclear event but won't dwell on it.

Whatever happens over the next few weeks many people should feel the tension building up into it. This means there may be more than usual violent events that are sudden. This could also be a geopolitical event and with Uranus and Pluto it could be a geophysical event (earthquake, volcano). If it is something that will change the general belief system of the people, this may be the beginning of something more profound that could affect us for many years."

Please excuse the repetition but the Grand Square is a once in a lifetime event. If interested in previous posts on the subject, use the search blog function and search for "Grand Square" or "April" It is now becoming exact. Following are the dates of the exact aspect next week. Events may occur which have an effect some time into the future. These are all geocentric aspects.

Timeline
April 20          Jupiter squares Uranus   Jupiter opposes Pluto
April 21          Uranus squares Pluto
April 22          Mars squares Jupiter
April 23          Mars opposes Uranus  Mars squares Pluto

Again events could occur at any time and could stretch into the Solar eclipse or a couple of aspects in May. The energies of Jupiter, Uranus and Pluto have been building for some time and they are about to be joined by explosive Mars.

April 29          Solar eclipse

It has been mention this is a Cardinal Grand Square, that is the planets are all in Cardinal signs. The Cardinal signs mark the change of seasons so expect changes to occur from the Cardinal Grand Square. Cardinal signs are also the forceful, action oriented signs. Expect the results of the square to manifest as concrete events and expect the unexpected with Uranus involved.

Certainly events in the Ukraine fit with this Grand Square but as we just said, expect the unexpected.

Briefly this Grand Square is about change, geopolitical events, war and possibly increased geophysical events. Following are the types of energies that could be expressed through this Grand Square.

If there is a monetary event it will probably be to do with debt or taxes, remembering money is debt so the status of a currency could be an issue. US$ or some other currency?

Uncovering lies and falsehoods. This could be financial but also something like Fukushima or any hidden truth may be uncovered.

It is also about violence, riots and uprisings and certainly the Ukraine situation fits the bill but there are a number of boiling pots in the world. Aspects would suit some type of terrorist activity. The energies of this square are going to hit the USA and Putin in particular and could affect United Nations, Iran, Israel, China, Venezuela, Canada, Cuba, Burma, Somalia and perhaps not surprisingly the union of England and Scotland.

Other events that would fit are war, cyber war, nuclear incident, earthquakes and terrorism. Watch for the power of truth and justice but also self righteousness, judgmental behavior.

It is interesting to note the Grand Square will hit the Nasdaq Stock Exchange when transiting Mars hits the Nasdaq's natal Uranus. It is most exact on April 23rd but could hit at any day next week.

Watch the news from many sources over the next week as the main stream news organizations don't always report everything that's going on (to say the least). That means in any country. I've found twitter a good alternative for breaking news but you need it verified from a number of sources.


Following is a map of the April 29 Solar eclipse path.. As mentioned in a previous blog the Solar eclipse in 2014 are in the money signs. This eclipse is quite negative. The eclipse has some similarities with a chart when drawn up for the time the Malaysian flight MH370 took off on March 8, 2014. Will the period around April 29 produce more information about the lost plane?

Financial Astrology - April 13, 2014

This weeks message will be short as we have covered the Grand Square in a number of previous posts. The markets have headed down. I'm expecting a bounce this week (subs have the date).

The teeth of the Grand Square are from April 20th to the 23rd but events can happen at any time. Unfortunately this won't be the last bad aspect. Although it is major, the Solar eclipse on April 29th  has a message of powerful actions and suggests great loss.

For eclipses the Lunar Eclipse before the Solar Eclipse, the energy is worse and dangerous. For eclipses where the Solar eclipse is before the Lunar Eclipse the energies are generally better. This time the Lunar is before the Solar. For 2014 the Solar eclipses are in the money signs of the zodiac. So we have a negative Solar eclipse in a money sign. Nuff said.

The last few years of Lunar and Solar Eclipses on the SP500 chart follows. The Lunar Eclipse could be a turn. Blue circles are Lunar and red circles are Solar eclipses.





In May Venus (rules money and resources among other things, like copper) will translate the Grand Square.

We have arrived at the critical time period. A serious geopolitical problem may be the best outcome and the Ukraine seems to be the main issue at the moment. With Uranus involved this could change to some other geopolitical issue or war or geophysical event quickly. You can't say we don't live in interesting times.

All normal market analysis may pale compared to the events just ahead. Astrology's strength is timing.

"Everybody knows that the boat is leaking
Everybody knows that the captain lied"
-- Leonard Cohen


SP500
We are down to the 50% retracement of the move up from Feb 5th low to the April 3rd high. See the following daily chart of the SP500. This is the 10th week of the Primary cycle (nominal 18 week but ranges from 15-23 weeks). The high was in the 8th week so pretty much centered. For the last few years the Primary cycles have been predominately right translated (high closer to the end of the cycle) which is bullish. This may indicate a bearish trend developing. For now just something else to watch.



Jupiter will be on the Invariable Plane (for Astrologers) starting April 16. It is part of the Grand Square and will square Uranus and oppose Pluto on April 20. Difficult news often comes out on the week end. I've mentioned numerous times Jupiter opposing Pluto is a classic bankruptcy signature and this has Uranus (sudden changes) in the mix.

As pointed out recently the Pluto price line (blue line) has acted as strong resistance.



Gold
The following daily chart for Gold does not look promising at the moment. I'm waiting to see the effect of the Pluto retrograde which often moves Gold forcefully. Give it 5 days either side. It can start long trends. I'm not ignoring the Ukraine situation that could drive up the price of Gold. Also remember the 13-13.5 cycle is due to trough out June / July this year.

Gold is currently in the 15th week of the Primary cycle. It was in the 10th week at the recent high which would be slightly right translated and bullish. Of course the Grand Square will have an effect so I'm in a wait and see.



I'm also watching copper. Wars need copper and it just made a long term cycle low. At least the old fashioned wars did.

Crude

I had mentioned Crude getting to the 105 area. Ignoring astros, Crude could either explode higher due to events in the Ukraine or the USA releases crude from the strategic reserve and brings the price down. Crude is in the 14th week of it's Primary cycle. So far it's top was in the 7th week so a little on the left translated side and therefore a little bearish for the cycle; however, as stated above it could explode higher.


The US$ looks ill.

From someone I have long respected.
"The corruption of the exchanges catering to high-frequency traders condones front running of public order flows by HFT (high frequency trading) computers tarnishes a once great history. Public investors are fleeing in droves for good reason. It looks like Wall Street owns its regulators & like public elites, never get prosecuted for their crimes. I'm disgusted with the moral degradation in a financial industry where I've spent the past 50 years of my life."

Financial Astrology - March 30, 2014

Grand Square
The period of time called a Grand Square or Grand Cross is upon us. Individuals should begin feeling the effects of the square starting approx. April 8 through early May. Individuals that have natal planets hit by this square will, at the least be very tense.  There will be great tension in the air as the four planets move into position.

To repeat the four planets with their approx. orbit length are

Mars                687 days
Jupiter             11.9 years
Uranus             84 years
Pluto                248.4 years

The slow moving planets typically have an affect for a long period of time and the faster moving planets have an affect over a shorter period of time. In this case Mars can be looked at as the trigger planet.

We may see a partial affect this coming week as the Sun aspects the three slower moving planets.

Subscribers have the forecast dates and dates for the two eclipses in April.

http://www.trading-daze.blogspot.ca/2013/12/2014-offer-key-dates-1st-half-of-2014.html

All four planets are in cardinal signs making the Grand Square more powerful and potentially explosive. Let me add Taiwan, Obama and Putin to the list of countries and leaders that may be affected (see the March 23rd post for others).

The Grand Square is composed of aspects to the four planets listed above. They are:

Mars opposition Uranus
Mars squared Pluto
Mars squared Jupiter
Jupiter squared Uranus
Jupiter opposition Pluto
Uranus square Pluto

Remember Uranus squared Pluto is the 5th of 7 exact squares that has been an on-going process for a few years. This alone is one of the most important aspects mankind can go through. You can search the blog for previous descriptions of this important aspect.

For Astrologers Jupiter and Pluto will be on the invariable plane axis later this month. This is one of the power points in the zodiac. Jupiter opposition to Pluto is a bankruptcy aspect.

The powerful energies of these aspects occurs over a short period of time and may affect much more than the stock market. The markets may be affected by a world event. This is a period when the markets could go really wild.

The above is an explosive combination. Astrology is all about energies. The basic energies of the planets involved based on mundane astrology follows.

Mars is about the military, attacks, oppression, assassinations, anger and violence. Explosions and explosives and fires are also Martian energies. It is also about courage and the use of energy. Currently Mars is in normally diplomatic Libra.

Jupiter is about the public faith and belief systems of the people. Judges, the court system, wealthy people, big business and pomp and circumstances. It also covers over-doing things and religious institutions, a nation's wealth, banks and bankers. Currently fervent Jupiter is in nationalistic Cancer.

Uranus covers science, technology, inventions and new things. Electricity, explosions, revolts, riots, radicals and all things nuclear (oh oh). It also covers fascism, sudden events and changes, things that are unique and astrologers, like me {^_^}. Currently Uranus is in assertive Aries.

Pluto is about wealth, power and the abuse of both. Manipulative leaders, espionage, secret police, torture, war, death and destruction. Things that are permanently changed. Waste and nuclear accidents are covered here. Also debt and taxes and powerful secrets. Currently Pluto is in governing Capricorn.

So this is difficult to forecast events with such a myriad of possibilities. Each of the planets energies are stimulated by aspects to other planets for the good or bad.

Summary
This could be a signature for war or rumors of war, either further activity in the Ukraine or another area of the world. If this is a market or financial system event it may be a decision made by financial powers that won't be disclosed immediately. In this time frame the G20 nations will meet (I believe April 11-14). Could a radical change to the world's financial system be on the agenda? Will we know all the decisions that are made? As noted above this could involve a major bankruptcy. Nation's can go bankrupt. This could also be a signature for a change in the world's reserve currency although I've been thinking this is a 2015 event. This should be watched closely.

I'll mention nuclear event but won't dwell on it.

Whatever happens over the next few weeks many people should feel the tension building up into it. This means there may be more than usual violent events that are sudden. This could also be a geopolitical event and with Uranus and Pluto it could be a geophysical event (earthquake, volcano). If it is something that will change the general belief system of the people, this may be the beginning of something more profound that could affect us for many years.

And of course, if this is the end of the world I want to be short.

Normal Post
Gold
This coming week may be good timing for a short term Gold / precious metal trade. April 1st has the Sun in waning square to Jupiter, April 2nd the Sun is conjunct Uranus and April 3rd the Sun is in waxing square to Pluto. All three aspects have a history of Gold turns.

We are currently in the 13th week of the primary cycle and topped out March 17th (we had forecast the 18th) forming a 1/2 Primary cycle crest. This often pulls back into the 38.2% - 61.8% Fibonacci retracement levels. The following chart shows we are at the 50% level and could reverse up at any point.



The reason I stated short term is we have Pluto turning stationary retrograde on April 14th. This is a powerful signature which often reverses the current trend. If Gold does not reverse higher before April 14th then it could be a longer term Gold buy signal. This is very close to the danger period so be careful.

April 1 is also the end of the heliocentric Venus pass through Scorpio. This is often a reversal in Gold.


 Copper may also be a good short term trade mid-week.

Crude
Crude is starting the 12th week of its Primary cycle and looks like it put in a 1/2 Primary cycle on March 3rd which troughed out very close to the 50% Fibonacci retracement level. Crude should work higher this week although I like the Gold trade better. Crude may hit resistance at the $102.80 level.
