SP500

For the SP500, cycle-wise we are in the 7th week of a new Primary  ¹ cycle which started on Feb. 2nd 2015.  This cycle is aka, the nominal 18 week with a range of 15 to 21 weeks.

The difficult time in the market I have been mentioning for the last couple of months is upon us. There are three significant Astrological aspects occurring over the next week.

Being in the 7th week of this Primary cycle we should be looking for a trough in a possible 6 week cycle (5-7 weeks) or preparing to move lower, which is what the Astrological aspects are pointing to, into a 1/2 Primary cycle low. More price action is required to determine if this is a nominal 6 week sub cycle or a 1/2 Primary cycle but at this point I'm leaning to a 1/2 Primary cycle low in the next few weeks. This is mainly based on the difficult Astrological aspects in front of us.

One of the long term aspects we have followed for months is the 7th and last occurrence of the Uranus / Pluto waxing square. This square has colored the world's history over the past few years and brought the issues of the 1960's into focus again. Uranus and Pluto were conjunct in the 1960's, the period that started a new Uranus / Pluto cycle. In the US this has included racial tension and the threat of war (Vietnam in the 60's). There are a number of wars on-going with possible new confrontations coming up shortly. On the world stage many populations had to deal with controlling governments in the 60's

One of the three Astrological events coming up is the March 20th, Total Solar Eclipse. This eclipse also has an association with war. Each eclipse is in a Saros cycle. It takes 3 successive eclipses to return to the same area. Eclipses in a Saros cycle takes approx. 18 years so 18 * 3 = 54 years. If we look back 54 years we are in the early 60's and the Cold war with Russia. There are many other similarities with the current period and the 1960's, a period of dramatic change in the world.

When looking at long term Astrological aspects and events, things don't occur exactly the same but the same issues are revisited often in a different form. The intelligent use of Astrology would warn governments of potential war and social unrest issues so they could take action before the issues manifest.

The following shows the eclipse paths for this eclipse and the previous Solar eclipse. Eclipses are world events, that is, any point on the planet, or the whole planet can be affected. The actual eclipse path often shows a more direct effect for the eclipse. In this case it appears there will be issues between Russia, Europe and the US. The fact that this eclipse is almost on the powerful world point (0 degrees Aries) may signal issues between these three countries / groups.

The last time there was a Solar Eclipse in aspect to the World Point was June 21, 2001, at 0 degrees Cancer approx. 1 1/2 months before 9/11. This eclipse is going to highlight Russia / Europe / USA issues.  There are two other important issues with this eclipse reserved for subscribers. I'm expecting a dramatic event and possibly war within the next 2 months and possibly very soon.

Note, on the above chart of the SP500, we  may have put in the crest of this 6 week cycle or 1/2 Primary cycle on Feb 25th. The 15 day sma is turning over while the 45 day sma is flat. Price is below both the 15 and 45 day sma's. I'm expecting this to move lower but we need more price action to confirm. We also have a potentially explosive FOMC meeting on March 17, 18th, the latter being almost on the exact waxing square between Uranus and Pluto.

We have adjusted the estimate for the next Primary (nominal 18 week) cycle to start near June 5th, 2015 with a range from May 11th to July 6th approx. Quite possibly into July.

We are looking for longer term cycles, 4 and 6 year, to end this year or 1st quarter 2016. The 4 year should end at a Primary cycle low which may be distorted. The 6 year may end there as well. The troughs for the 4 and 6 year cycles will be much deeper.

The SP500 also moved back below the mid-point support/resistance level (dark blue line) on the following chart I have been showing the past few weeks. The new Primary cycle broke above and now back below. This level should act as good resistance now at 2046.80. The price line is based on the average geocentric longitude of Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, Pluto. The average longitude is then converted to price and is seen on the following chart.

The war aspects we have mentioned many times appear to be the mid-East and Ukraine, although we had expected another area ( Pakistan, China?). Either the Uranus / Pluto square or Solar eclipse could be signaling more drastic security measures, deception, kidnappings, strife and discord or terror attacks. Remember these aspects/ events are for the world, not just one country. I'm listing the countries / areas that may be most affected in the subscribers letter.

This does not sound very pleasant but we should add, there is the potential for some type of natural disaster. With the larger planets being aspected we can't rule out geophysical events. Look for an increase in earthquakes above 5.5 to point to something more major. The powerful Solar eclipse is also a perigee New Moon aka "Super Moon" by Riched Nolle, often a period of earth disturbances and violent weather / disasters. Disasters meaning "Away from the Stars".

I will be watching March 18th at 2:00pm for the FOMC announcement.

Fibonacci expansion values based on the period from the Oct 2007 high to the March 2009 low.

This weekly chart shows the Fib expansion values that hit on the week of March 2, 2015, very close to the start of the move down.

Gold

Gold put in a trough on Nov 7th. This puts us in the 19th week of it's Primary cycle   ¹  (nominal 18 week) during this coming week.

Gold continues down. Last week there were two Astrological signatures that have a history of occurring at Primary cycle turns. These may identify the time period for a Primary cycle trough due in the next 4-5 weeks and possibly much earlier.

Note, Gold has stooped at the 88.6 % retracement. This is an extended Fib level.

78.6% = square root of 61.8

88.6% = square root of 78.6%

Gold appears to be testing the Nov 7th low which was the start of this Primary cycle. A successful test and bounce from here would be at least short term positive. A move below the Nov 7th, 2014 lows would be very negative. Longer term I'm looking for Gold to move much higher. This should be 2nd half 2015 into 2016.

The following daily Gold chart shows the heliocentric Venus (green) and Jupiter (blue) price lines. Gold moved down this week but seems to have found support at the Venus price line (green). It may follow the Venus price line up. Watch the Venus and Jupiter price lines for possible support and a place for the trough.

Crude

I'm looking for Astrological aspects which would equate to a move in crude. I'll be looking for aspects that involve, Jupiter, Neptune or Pluto. So far none have had an effect on Crude, in fact Crude appears to be meandering sideways to down and like Gold may be about to test the Jan 29 lows. Watch the days around March 23, April 6, April 8th and April 16th, 17th. Jupiter and Neptune co-rule crude while Pluto is relevant because it rules hidden things and things from the ground.

This coming week of March 16th should be the 7th week of a Primary cycle which started Jan 29, 2015 and in the time frame for a nominal 6 week cycle trough although geopolitical, supply and demand appear to be bigger factors at this time.

The following daily chart shows the 15 day sma is now above the 45 day sma, which is bullish, but the 15 day sma has turned down and is about to cross the 45 day sma, and price is below both. The latter is negative and crude is about to start of the 7th week may be going down into a trough. With the other negative Astrological aspects and events crude may continue being very volatile over the next few weeks.

As seen on the following chart the Jupiter price line (dark orange) should give support in the 49.50 area. If this area is broken we may be going down for a retest of the Jan 29th lows.

SP500

For the SP500, Cycle-wise we are in either the 3rd week of a new Primary cycle which started on Feb. 2nd 2015 or the 18th 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 point was made on last weeks subscriber video that a new Primary cycle had possibly started. We will need a few more days of market action to confirm this is a new Primary cycle. There are a number of rules we look for when deciding if a new Primary cycle has started. These are included in the subscribers letter.

In addition to these rules the Feb 2 low was within 4 td's (trading days) of the Sun opposition to Jupiter on Feb 6th. The Sun in opposition to Jupiter has a history of being close to Primary cycle turns. Even so, this move appears early, particularly with the other world events unfolding. Also on Friday Feb 13 heliocentric Mars was conjunct Uranus, often found near short term market reversals.

So we are in a bit of a quandary. Are we in the 3rd week of a new Primary cycle which would be bullish or the 18th week of an older Primary which would make this bearish as we descend into the trough. We should know based on market action this week.

Following are two daily charts of the SP500, one showing the 18 week cycle and the other, a new Primary cycle and the 3rd week of it. Measuring out another 18 weeks we arrive at the week of June 5, 2015 as seen on the following daily chart of the SP500.

18 week and old Primary cycle

3 week and new Primary cycle

The SP500 also edged above the mid-point chart I have been showing the past few weeks. This should be watched closely. If this is the older cycle it should fall back under the last price line. (the price line is based on the average geocentric longitude of Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, Pluto. The average longitude is then converted to price and is seen on the following chart.

Keep in mind we are expecting the 4 year and possibly 6 year cycles to hit in 2015 or 1st quarter 2016. We should keep this in mind near the end of each Primary cycle. One of the two, or both, longer term cycles may trough out with a Primary cycle trough. We may be looking at June / July or 18 weeks after the next Primary cycle trough.

We are now entering the possible very difficult period I've been discussing for the past few weeks (months?) which is Feb 18 through March 20th and may go into early April.

Feb 18th has Mars passing over the point of the upcoming March 20th Total Solar Eclipse. Feb 18th is also a perigee New Moon or Super Moon per Richard Nolle. Over the next couple of days Venus and the Moon will pass over this point which is 29 degrees, 27 minutes in Pisces. This is very close to the powerful World Point.

Eclipses can have an effect for periods of time around the exact eclipse date, both before and after the exact date. There are also other related cycles, the Saros cycle, the Metonic cycle and Antiscia points. See below for a map of this coming Solar eclipse. These are covered in the market letter.

Other points coming up are the Jupiter in waxing trine to Uranus, Mars translating the Uranus / Pluto square, Saturn turning stationary direct and the 7th and last square of the Uranus / Pluto waxing square is March 16, 2015. This has been the Astrological aspect which has colored this period of history from early 2012 to March 16th, 2015. It's effect will be around for some time but will lessen after the last exact hit. It has been the catalyst for social unrest, debt / financial problems, governments and leaders trying to control their people and the masses rebelling. Any one of these aspects is very strong by itself and together... we are about to see. Although this aspect is very powerful it's full power may not have been seen yet. I believe it was either Bill Meridian or Charles Jayne (both astrologers) who said, "that the final aspect in a series (like this one) strikes the telling blow". 

We have also mentioned, the last few weeks, the period from Feb 18 through March 20th looks particularly disruptive. This could stretch into early April. The type of events we may witness may be disturbing. There are war aspects (either a greatly expanded current war or a new upset), possibly drastic security measures, deception, kidnappings, strife and discord, terror attacks. There also maybe some type of Hollywood sex scandal but this may be looked at as pretty mild stuff with the other events around this time. Except with the main stream media of course. Subscribers will get a list of exact dates. There were other comments made on the subscribers video which paint this period of time as quite violent which could cause an increase in fear. Remember these aspects are for the world, not just one country. I'm listing the countries / areas that may be most affected in the subscribers letter.

This does not sound very pleasant but we should add, there is the potential for some type of natural disaster. With the larger planets being aspected we can't rule out geophysical events. Look for an increase in earthquakes above 5.5 to point to something more major.

On Feb 11 Mercury turned stationary Direct, often a signature of a change in trend. Note the turns within 1 td when Mercury went retrograde on Jan 21 and when the Sun was in an inferior conjunction (the middle of the retrograde period) with Mercury on Jan 30th. So they have been very exact +- 1 td. Keep that in mind as we approach the Mercury shadow date on March 3rd. The day Mercury returns to the position it held when it went retrograde.

In brief, the Central Banks of the world continue to try and stir up inflation while commodities appear to be in a deflationary period. In doing so they continue to distort the true value of markets world wide.

Current conflicts include ISIS, the Ukraine, various locations in Africa and social unrest in many countries. Just think back to some of the images from the last few months with beheadings, setting a pilot ablaze and the strangulation and shooting of US citizens in broad day light, captured on video. There are other potential conflicts simmering on the back burner which could be set off. (Israel / Iran?).

Watch the US main stream media for their emphasis on who is at fault for war like activity.

Let's not forget these wise words.

"Statesmen will invent cheap lies, putting blame upon the nation that is attacked, and every man will be glad of those conscience-soothing falsities, and will diligently study them, and refuse to examine any refutations of them; and thus he will by and by convince himself that the war is just, and will thank God for the better sleep he enjoys after this process of grotesque self-deception."
-- Mark Twain

Gold

Gold put in a trough on Nov 7th. This would put us in the 15th week of it's Primary cycle   ¹  (nominal 18 week) during this coming week.

Volatility in precious metals continue. Watch Gold closely. There are a number of technical indicators pointing to a reversal in Gold. In addition there are a number of Astrological signatures that would indicate a reversal in Gold prices. The next one being Feb 22 when Venus conjuncts Mars. This may be emphasized as Feb 22 is also a new Mars cycle as it crosses 0 degrees declination from south to north. Watch the period from Feb 16 through the 19th as well.

The following daily Gold chart shows the heliocentric Venus (green) and Jupiter (blue) price lines. Note how Gold stopped on the heliocentric Jupiter price line. This appears to be good support. We may get either a bounce or reversal in the Primary cycle. Technically note the CCI(9) has just been below 100, often followed by a reversal in Gold prices.

Silver also appears to be in the 15th week of it's Primary cycle cycle  ¹ on

Nov 7th. looks like the Primary cycle (nominal 18 week cycle) trough. Like Gold, Silver was headed down for it's Primary cycle trough and may be reversing here. Watch closely next week, in particular Feb 16th - 19th.

The following daily chart of Silver shows the heliocentric price lines for Venus and Jupiter. It is getting close to the Venus price line.

Crude

I'm looking for Astrological aspects which would equate to a move in crude. I'll be looking for aspects that involve, Jupiter, Neptune or Pluto. Jupiter and Neptune co-rule crude which Pluto is relevant because it rules hidden things and things from the ground.

Feb 6th had the Sun opposing Jupiter and Feb 25 will have the Sun conjunct Neptune. Give these signature +- 5 td's. The Neptune signature should be the strongest as Neptune is in Pisces, the sign that it rules. All Neptune aspects should be highlighted including illusion, delusion and the big lie. Spirituality would be included here as well. We need more of that.

Such strong moves down, as seen in crude the last few months very often try to retest the recent lows. Watch the heliocentric price lines for Neptune (green) and Jupiter (orange) for resistance and support.
