Financial Astrology Feb 23, 2014

SP500
This blog changed on Jan 1, 2014 We will no longer provide turn dates for the SP500 as these are being sold for the first half of 2014 see -> 


We are finally arriving at the critical time frame discussed for some time. As we have already covered the reasons in some depth we will just summarize the coming two weeks. There are a number of market analysts now stressing the coming couple of weeks and the last half of April, we identified these periods last November 2013 in our forecast dates. This is the power of using Astrology as part of your market analysis.

Next week and for a number of weeks afterwards Uranus is stressed. Uranus is the planet of the unusual, innovation, technology and sudden changes. This could equate to sudden moves up or down and large price swings. With Uranus involved expect the unexpected.

Being in square to Jupiter this should exaggerate any move and should be buoyant and confident or overdone. As discussed this square is aspecting the heliocentric North Node of Jupiter. This should give the powerful square even more strength. Uranus takes approx. 84 years for one orbit but Jupiter zips around in approx. 11-12 years. Following are daily charts with Jupiter on the heliocentric North Node of Jupiter. They re highlighted with black circles. The last one is a 3 pass due to retrograde motion. The current one is a 3 pass as well. Feb 26 this week is the middle square of the 3 pass with the final square in April when the powerful Grand Square is highlighted. With Uranus involved in the square I really do expect the unexpected.






With stocks, Gold, Silver Crude, NatGas, softs and others all going up it's time for a surprise.

Although next week looks like prime time for a reversal in many markets it could extend into the following week before a pullback, where we start multiple retrogrades.

Gold
Although I think Gold and Silver are in a bullish position intermediate and long term, I also think we are due for a pullback shorter term. I've been looking positively at Gold and Silver since my January 5, 2014 post. I was looking at mid to late March for a pullback but now considering next week. Bear in mind Uranus is a key planet over the next couple of months so unusual and fast events can take place. PM's could go down then up quickly.

On Feb 23 the Sun is conjunct Neptune which has a history of turns in PM's (precious metals) both up and down. Crests within a couple of days and troughs further out, within 7-8 tds. On March 1st Mars turns retrograde. This has a history of sharp turns in Gold and closer to the exact date. In addition to the above the powerful Jupiter waxing square to Uranus takes place on Feb 26 (see above). This square is also in orb of Pluto making this a T-square with Uranus being the major planetary point of the T-square. This is happening while geocentric Jupiter is on the heliocentric North Node of Jupiter making this aspect more potent. Uranus is in Aries, a signature which coincides with rapid changes, rioting and outbreaks of political tension. The latter can be seen in the Ukraine, Venezuela and Thailand.

From the last post remember Uranus just entered the second decant of Aries which is ruled by the Sun which rules Gold. Uranus in Aries should also manifest technological changes and energies which overturn and transform existing structures and ways of thinking. This is also a time for the potential of new scientific discoveries. The discovery may take some time to be recognized. The fact that Uranus will be in exact square to Pluto in April should emphasize changes to governments and political institutions around the world. Of course an attack on the internet is possible as well but I'm looking towards the April time frame for that type of event.

On the following daily chart I was expecting Gold to test the highs in late October 2013. I'm now looking at this as a failed test. If Gold does turn down in the next week or 2 watch it closely as it will have the potential of a quick reversal but I'm looking for an eventual low in June then up.


Crude
Crude has made a strong but somewhat unexpected move. This is due, we are told by mainstream media, that this is due to cold in the winter. OK

Looking back a few days crude was hitting resistance around the Pluto price line in the following daily chart. It broke through on the day the Sun price line (green) crossed the Pluto price line.

We are now just above the 50% retracement of the move down from late August 2013 to early Jan 2014. I often look at the 38.2% to 61.8% as possible resistance. We are due for a pullback in crude and we have two crude related aspects that could initiate that move on Feb 23 (Sun conjunct Neptune) and Feb 26 (Jupiter waxing square Uranus).

Astrology Update - Feb 19, 2014

In November 1989 with Jupiter retrograde at 10 degrees of Cancer freedom came to Europe with the fall of communism on Nov 9, 1989. In 1989 Jupiter was opposing a Saturn / Neptune conjunction in Capricorn. The months leading up to November 1989 Mars was in Libra.

I had thought this trouble was going to come out in France but it appears to be Kiev. Jupiter is again retrograde at 10 degrees in Cancer. Geocentric 10 degrees Cancer is conjunct the heliocentric North Node of Jupiter making it quite powerful. This time it is being squared by radical Uranus in Aries with a loose opposition to Pluto. Mars is again in Libra.

Uprisings in Venezuela and Thailand as well. There is revolution in the air during this Jupiter / Uranus square, which is exact on Feb 26. Planetary configurations are eerily similar to the Sept. 1929 and March 1930 period.

A reminder to the world. We need to fight for freedoms.We just need to make sure we are on the right side.

PS
While we are at it here. The SP500 high so far was on Jan 15, 2014 at 1850.44. On that date there was a Full Moon at 25CP58. That's 25 degrees in Capricorn 58 minutes.

On Feb 27 Venus will be at 25CP58. This is the day before Mercury turns direct and the day after the Jupiter waxing square to Uranus. The Lunar eclipse on April 15 will be squaring these degrees.

Next week looks quite wild and probably much more than just the stock market.

Financial Astrology - Feb 16, 2014

SP500
This blog changed on Jan 1, 2014 We will no longer provide turn dates for the SP500 as these are being sold for the first half of 2014 see -> 


I should say we are entering one of the most dangerous periods of the year. We have significant dates stretching from late February to late April 2014. The forecast dates supplied should identify the significant swings and or lows. Our first major date was Jan 20, 2014 and it identified the sharp slide into early February.

This same period from February to late April 2014 could see increases in earthquakes and volcanic activity. Social unrest, resistance and war or rumors of war could also be on the agenda. The likelihood of these events increases in April 2014.

The major market indices took off this week as did PM's. The SP500 for instance has entered a new Primary cycle and is 2 weeks along. Some say it was a big short squeeze. This could have had an effect but I don't think this is based on the bull $hit government economic indicators. It looks like there are traders who believe tapering will be cutback and the FED will retain or increase QE. This would fit with the sharp move in PM's as well. It would also fit with reality where unemployment is far higher than government stats and the economy, if growing, is doing so at a snails pace.

I haven't trusted government indicators for some time and believe what were free markets have become manipulated to the point where reliable indicators are no longer useful. What can't be manipulated is the movement of the planets so I look there for direction. They can be delayed by the man-made actions but they cannot be changed permanently.

Two longer indicators that are affecting us right now are:

Uranus waxing square Pluto
This is one of the most powerful aspects in our Solar System. By long term, the last time these two planets were in waxing square was in the 1876.. period. For any long term transit it is beneficial to examine the current synodic cycle. In this case the cycle started with the conjunction in the 1963-1969 period. This was a period of social unrest and the masses were unhappy with their government both in the U.S. and other countries. This should sound familiar with the problems unfolding today. One thing that is being emphasized in this long term square is debt, Government debt, company debt and personal debt. The 1960's period was also a period of great technological advances, although they did not manifest for a few years afterwards many of the computer innovations were created during the 1960's period.

We can expect great technology advances being created during the current waxing square. They may not be evident until the square is complete and may wait until around the period of the Jupiter / Saturn "Mutation Conjunction" in Aquarius, an Air sign. More on the "Mutation Conjunction" in a future post.

Following is a weekly chart of the DJIA. The blue squares are the seven exact squares but the aspect is active the whole period. It is highlighted by aspects hitting it and other phenomenon.

Jupiter waning trine Saturn
The following weekly chart of the DJIA shows the current Jupiter waning trine to Saturn (geocentric are the 3 circles in light blue) (heliocentric, single dark blue circle). This is the last major aspect of this planetary pair before the important "Mutation Conjunction" coming up in 2020.

As we did with the previous planetary pair, looking back at the synodic cycle, the conjunction occurred on May 22, 2000 very close to the top of the dot com bubble in the stock market.

Shorter term
We should keep in mind Mercury, the trickster, is retrograde and Feb 17 is the half way point of the Mercury retrograde cycle. Mercury went retrograde on Feb 6th the day the markets took off to the upside. The market may being pushed up, into option expiry (OPEX), this Friday Feb 21. Mercury turns direct again on Feb 28.

Within the first 6 days of March we will have 4 planets either turning retrograde or direct. In addition Venus will be back at it's shadow date on March 4th.

This should equate to a volatile environment. We could get some strong pullbacks and reversals. Watch early next week as the Sun changes signs on Feb 18th into Pisces.


Gold / Silver
Gold is in either it's 2nd or 7th week of it's Primary cycle. As expected (see the last couple of posts) the PM's have turned very bullish. This ties into the general market indices shooting up.

This is the type of activity I would expect if traders are expecting a reversal of the FED tapering or even a full return to QE. How many people really believe the US economy is improving and jobs are being created. Never mind the bs statistics coming from government sources and reiterated by a mindless media.

I'm watching the Oct 2013 highs, to see if price can break these levels. Overall this looks very bullish for PM's here, however, lets remember they have been manipulated down fairly dramatically over the last few months. I'm in and holding but on guard for potential manipulation.


Crude
Crude is still bullish at the moment as the 15dma is above the 45dma and price is above both. This is either the 6th or 14th week of the Primary cycle; however, crude has stalled over the last 5 td's unable to take out the Dec 27, 2013 high and stuck on the Pluto price line. See the following price line chart. Seasonally crude should be starting up in late Feb / March.

There are two significant Astros for crude coming up. Feb 23, the Sun conjuncts Neptune and Feb 26 Jupiter squares Uranus. Either one of these aspects has the potential to move Crude. Logically one would think up but I think the Pluto price line on the following daily chart will tell the tale. If it breaks down from the Pluto price line there may be cheaper crude when spring driving commences. This assumes people still have money for gasoline and a car.



NatGas
I'm watching the price action to see if there is more energy behind this surge. Like crude the time period around Feb 23 and Feb 26 should be significant and may deterime if this rally continues or reverses.

US$ 

I have concerns about the US$ but looking for the March / April time frame to assess where we are. The US dollar could come under extreme pressure which would affect many markets.
