Financial Astrology - Upcoming dates

We are out of longs and sitting with a small short on the SP500.

Looking ahead for potential CIT dates (Change In Trend) I have the following

Sept 19 Uranus waxing square Pluto, the second exact hit. Pluto turned direct the day before so it is standing still and Mercury translates the square on Sept 20. All the issues previously posted regarding this significant square come into focus.

Sept 25 Mars is at the position of the Nov 13 Solar eclipse. I’m expecting this eclipse to be particularly powerful. I don’t view this as positive.

Sept 29 The Sun translates the Uranus Pluto square.

Oct 4 Mars conjuncts the North Node and Jupiter turns retrograde. The next day Saturn enters Scorpio. Mars is high lighted during this period and may mark mid East problems or other war like tones.

Oct 10 Saturn waning trine to Neptune. This long term aspect has a correlation to the 4 year cycle crest given a couple of months. We’re in the area.

Nov 6 Mercury turns retrograde and in a wide square to Neptune. The last time Mercury was retrograde, or at least moving out of retrograde into direct motion on a presidential election day was November 7, 2000. You may remember that election which was somewhat famous for it’s Florida recounts and hanging chads.

I believe this is pointing to some type of fraud or deception.

Nov 13 Total Solar eclipse. Looks powerful and may mark a low or other significant event.

This whole period may see geophysical events.

Financial Astrology - Sept 4, 2012

Reviewing the dates of the upcoming central banks and other announcements (see previous posts) this may be a good time to get out of stocks and watch for awhile. I'm referring to the U.S. stock market.

For the brave, you may wish to wait for the US employment report on Friday Sept 7th. If positive this could change the short term picture, however, there appears to be too many negatives at this time.

There are also some heavy Astros on the horizon including

Sept 7  Sun waxing square to Jupiter

Sept 18 Pluto direct

Sept 19 Uranus waxing square to Pluto

Sept 20 Mercury opposing Uranus and square Pluto

Oct 10 Saturn waning trine to Neptune

Nov 14 Total Solar eclipse

Some of these aspects have been associated with geophysical stress.

It is difficult to short the market with the central banks being active and safer just to watch for a few weeks. Gold may be coming to the end of it's primary cycle, however, central bank printing may extend the gold rally further.

Financial Astrology - Cycles of the North Node

The next few months should see a lot of volatility in the markets and may witness some significant world events.

The next few weeks, however, may be dominated by central bank issues both in Europe, ECB and the FED in the U.S. The ECB announcement will be Sept 6^th and the FED Sept 12. In addition the ruling from the German constitutional court ruling will be on Sept 12^th as well. In my opinion, actions of man or countries may speed up or forestall Astrological forces but the Astrological force will always come through. The Astrology for the next few months / years is not very positive. Many of the reasons have been given on prior posts.

One thing I have not mentioned is a market theory developed in the 1930’s by Louise McWhirter.

The basics of the theory are spelled out in her 1938 book, Astrology and Stock Market Forecasting.

The basics are this. The trend in business volume has been found to correspond with the cycle of the North Node which has a cycle length of 18.7 years. The North Node moves backwards through the signs in relation to the other planets.

The high point of business volume is reached when the North Node transits through Leo. The low point of business volume occurs when the North Node transits through Aquarius. The last transit of the North Node through Aquarius was Dec 2007 through August 2009. The low came in at March 6, 2009.

Based on this cycle alone business volume should be increasing soon. Bear in mind we must look at all the Astrological factors taking place. We will be experiencing the Uranus / Pluto square at the least until 2015 and probably longer.

I bring this up at this point because the North Node just entered Scorpio on Sept 1^st 2012. According to the theory, whenever the North Node passes through Scorpio and Libra, business tends to go through an approximate three year “transition period” if there are no other unfavourable secondary Astrological factors. The North Node spends approximately 1.5 years in each sign. Using this cycle alone business should start to improve in this 3 year window as the North Node makes it’s way through Scorpio and Libra.

Bear in mind the other negative factors aren’t painting such a rosy picture. We may be looking at a continuing recession into the latter part of the decade. This is my thinking, however, it’s nice to hear of at least one more positive cycle.
