Financial Astrology - August 31, 2015


 - Our second half 2015 forecast dates are now available.
                      - Subscriptions include the forecast dates and a monthly Market letter with                          eMail alerts for imminent trading opportunities
                      - We do not use negative option billing nor do we sell email addresses

We will be sending ALERTS to subscribers with specific dates when there are imminent trading opportunities forming. The last one is posted below this post. There was a second ALERT sent out to subscribers on Aug 24th covering most of the critical dates in September

SP500
For the SP500, cycle-wise we are entering the 8th week of a new Primary cycle  1 cycle that started on July 7th.  This cycle is aka, the nominal 18 week with a range of 15 to 21 weeks.

The next time band for a nominal 18 week (Primary) cycle trough is noted on the second chart of the SP500 and is from Oct 19 through Dec 1st 2015. There are a number of longer term cycles that may hit their troughs about the same time. Details on the subscriber letter.

The big move down during the week of Aug 17th makes it difficult to determine where we are in the nominal 18 week cycle. We know we are in the 8th week but was the low on Aug 24th the trough for the first nominal 6 week cycle of the 18 week cycle. Quite possible, but with such violent action we could see a 1/2 Primary cycle. I'm expecting a further pullback.

Pullback or not this cycle is still very bearish. It stared on July 7th and put in a crest on July 20th. This is very left translated and very bearish.

Two weeks ago we made the point, the Sun was about to begin it's translation of a T-square beginning on Aug 21 with the Sun in waning square to Saturn. In this case Saturn was the focal point of a T-square between Jupiter, Saturn and Neptune. Jupiter and Neptune may point to confusion but remember Saturn is still in Scorpio, debt and other peoples money and continues in mutual reception with Pluto, making both stronger. We may be hearing more news of debt problems or confusion surrounding debt or financing This configuration could also be pointing to violent weather. Saturn leaves Scorpio this month and goes into Sagittarius. This is better stated, karmic Saturn enters spiritual Sagittarius this month. Saturn will lose some strength as it will no longer be in mutual reception with Pluto.

The Sun's translation of this powerful T-square continued with the Sun conjunct Jupiter on August 26 and then Sun opposition Neptune on August 31st. Aug 31 or Sept 1 should be a time period for deception, trickery, lies and fakes. I'm looking at the next period of time to continue being volatile. At this point, I look at next week as being very volatile with the possibility of more sharp down moves although this may be later in the month.

 There is also a perigee Full Moon on August 29th. Beyond the markets the perigee (closest pass to Earth) Full Moon can be a time of severe weather, earthquakes / volcanoes and general violent actions. This  Full Moon is very close to the Jupiter / Neptune opposition. Neptune is in Pisces, the sign that it rules. It rules water and crude among other things. This Full Moon emphasizes water. The forming hurricane or other storm may be the cause of a great deal of water damage via flooding.

Following is a monthly chart of the SP500 with the 7 year cycle on it. The red bars near the bottom of the cycle indicator show time period that the 7 year cycle is estimated to hit it's trough.



On the following daily chart I've noted the time period to look for a trough for this nominal 18 week cycle.



On the following chart which is the average longitude of the planets Mars through Pluto
(blue lines) converted to price. Price has fallen through a number of average price lines. We'll come back to this chart when the markets settle down.

Note the other recent OPEX dates (red circle). They have been at highs then down. Also note the red vertical lines (Fibonacci grid) which started at the Oct 15, 2014 low. The next red vertical line is Fib 233 td's from that October low. More details for subscribers.



Violent events continue.

At this point, following are the highs in the US indexes. Also noted are the dates the 50 day simple moving average crossed the 200 day sma, the so-called death cross.
DJIA               May 19, 2015 50 day sma crossed below the 200 day sma on Aug 11th
DJTI               Nov 28, 2014 50 day sma crossed below the 200 day sma on May 26th
SP500             May 20, 2015
NYSE             May 21, 2015  50 day sma crossed below the 200 day sma on Aug 11th
RUT               Jun 23, 2015
COMPQX      July 20, 2015

Another chart is the following daily chart of the SP500 with a fan indicator. The dark blue fan line is 45 degrees. The starting point is the low at March 6, 2009. The blue 45 degree line is currently at 2126. Price has broken through this line on 3 occasions recently and has now created some separation. This hasn't happened for some time. This is another bearish indicator.



And I've been waiting for this weekly chart of the SP500 with the 21 and 34 weekly moving averages to turn for some time. Another bearish indicator. The last time price broke this far below the moving averages it was October 2011 which many have picked as the 4 year cycle low. Is this the next 4 year cycle low forming? It's quite possible.



Some of the biggest moves in the US markets have occurred when Saturn is in mutable signs. The mutable signs are Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius and Pisces. The following monthly chart of the DJIA shows when Saturn was in mutable signs, the colored x's. As mentioned above Saturn will be entering Sagittarius this month.



In Summary
The expected down turn started and was more severe than anticipated. Such a move in a few days should result in volatile environment, for some time. This should be a great environment for those who enjoy short term trading, like me. {^_^}. The dates where the Sun will again translate the T-square mentioned above are prime candidates for volatility. Again they are Aug 26th and Aug 31st. All dates are +- 2 td's unless otherwise noted. The perigee Full Moon on August 29th is also very close to the forming Jupiter / Neptune opposition.

An Alert has been sent to subscribers with specific dates when big moves are most likely to occur in September.

4 year  6.5-7 year
See the following weekly chart of the DJIA. The red squares are the Jupiter Saturn waning square, 3 pass. The green squares are the Saturn Neptune square. They overlap and could be pointing to a period of dramatic change. Other items noted on the chart are Saturn in Sagittarius, the time frame for the 3.3 year Kitchin cycle trough and the next Primary cycle trough. I look to the periods of overlap to determine more major market moves. I bring this up since I think there will be a stronger down move late in 2015 or early 2016.




Gold
Gold put in a  Primary cycle   1 trough on March 17th. It appears we got the nominal 18 week trough on July 24th.

We are either in the first nominal 6 week cycle or just put in the trough for the first 6 week cycle on Aug 27 or we are still in the first cycle which will turn out to be a 1/2 Primary cycle crest.

I'm looking at this as still being in the first nominal 6 week cycle. We may have further to go down.
With the currency wars heating up Gold should eventually benefit. This may not be until  the next 18 week cycle trough, that is late 2015 / early 2016. We need to see more price action for PM's over the next few weeks. I'm expecting a pullback.

Besides the 18 week cycle there are a number of longer term cycles due and potent aspects which have a history of turns in precious metals.



The following daily Gold chart shows the heliocentric Venus (green) and Jupiter (blue) price lines. Gold started moving up when it hit the 27 cd (calendar day) cycle (red vertical line). It moved up sharply but has since turned down. The next 27 cd cycle is Sept 2nd.




Crude
This coming week of Aug 31st we should be entering the 24th week or the first of a nominal 18 week cycle which started Mar 18, 2015.

I said to watch dates near Neptune or Jupiter aspects and the Sun was conjunct Jupiter on Aug 26th. We are very late in the older nominal 18 week cycle at 24 weeks. This currently looks like a nominal 18 week cycle low on Aug 24th. We will need to see further price action next week.



As seen on the following chart crude dropped away from the Neptune price line (green) and bounced off the Jupiter price line (orange), the day crude appeared to put in a trough.

The lines are 45 degrees apart. 45 degrees is (360 / 8) = 45 or also known as the 8th harmonic.

Keep in mind there has been some war news with Saudi Arabia sending ground troops into Yemen. Problems with Saudi crude operations, plants or ports could change the price for crude very quickly.



Another chart we have not shown for awhile is the weekly crude chart with the 16 week (red) and 24 week (blue) cycles. Where they meet the cycle line is green and is typically found at crests but sometimes inverts to a trough. The next green line is early November. 2015 close to a Neptune direct signature.





Other items, more specifics on the SP500, Gold and crude also US$, NatGas, Coffee reserved for subscribers. At $99.00 for a 6 month subscription, can you afford not to have it?

The 2nd half 2015 dates and subscription to the monthly letter (starting in July) are available for purchase.


Monday, August 24, 2015

We could be witnessing the start of the 4 year or 7 year cycle down move to a trough as mentioned a number of times in our market letter.

I'll send out another ALERT tonight to subscribers.

The last ALERT to subscribers was sent out August 17th follows.

/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

I'm looking for a turn Aug 21, 2015 +- 2 tds.

This looks like the possible start of a more significant downtrend in the major market indices.

On Aug 21 the Sun will square Saturn which will energies the T square formation that Saturn is in with Jupiter and Neptune.

In fact Jupiter and Neptune are forming an opposition and Saturn is squaring both these planets. This puts Saturn as the focal planet and it is still in Scorpio (debt and other peoples money) and it is still in mutual reception with Pluto, making both quite powerful.

This is a pretty good Astrological definition of a bubble bursting. Jupiter and Neptune being the bubble and Saturn the sharp object that bursts the bubble.

This T square will be hit by the Sun on Aug 26 (Sun conjunct Jupiter) and Aug 31st (Sun opposition Neptune) as well so if we don't get a reaction near Aug 21 we should watch one of the other two dates.

It is possible this move down could go down into late September close to the Solar and Lunar eclipses. The exact Jupiter opposition to Neptune date is Sept 17 the same day Saturn enters Sagittarius.

The Aug 21 date could also affect Gold in a positive way and the whole period while the T-Square forms may be important for crude.


Regards

From last weeks blog post
"I'm looking for a move higher next week which could reverse down as soon as
Aug 21st. +- 2 tds:

From two weeks ago blog post:
"Later in the week there is a significant negative aspect which may affect the USA directly."

We made the point, the Sun was about to begin it's translation of a T-square beginning on Aug 21 with the Sun in waning square to Saturn. In this case Saturn is the focal point of a T-square between Jupiter, Saturn and Neptune. Jupiter and Neptune may point to confusion but remember Saturn is still in Scorpio, debt and other peoples money and continues in mutual reception with Pluto, making both stronger. We may be hearing more news of debt problems or confusion surrounding debt or financing This configuration could also be pointing to violent weather.

The Sun's translation of this powerful T-square continues with the Sun conjunct Jupiter on August 26 and the Sun opposition Neptune on August 31st. The move down has been so strong I'm looking at the next period to be very volatile. With Neptune involved we could see confusions and deception. After such a strong move, immediate aspects will probably mark periods of volatility. As we get closer I'll send ALERTs to subscribers if we have a firm idea of direction. At this point, look at next week as being very volatile.

There appears to be further serious problems in September. The dates will be in the subscribers September letter.

There is also a perigee Full Moon on August 29th. Beyond the markets the perigee (closest pass to Earth) Full Moon can be a time of severe weather, earthquakes / volcanoes and general violent actions. This  Full Moon is very close to the Jupiter / Neptune opposition. We may see another drastic slide near this date.

Cycle wise this weeks sharp down move really confuses the cycle outlook. A new nominal 18 week cycle started July 7th with the trough at week 21. What now looks like the high for the cycle was on July 29th.

Now in week 7 we are either headed down to a nominal 6 week cycle low or a 1/2 Primary bottom in the 8-9th weeks. Since we have broken below the start of the 18 week cycle which was July 7th, this 18 week cycle should stay below the July 7th value at 2081 until the next cycle trough which would be 11-15 weeks along. The fact the high came so early in the cycle on July 29th makes this cycle very left translated and therefore very negative.

This is so bearish that we may need to reconsider the July 7th date as the low for the nominal 18 week cycle. We are leaving it there for now, just a note it may need to be changed.

The fact I'm looking for a slow forming top for the whole 6 year move means we may start seeing more left translated cycles or at least cresting in the middle of the cycle rather than being right translated. Also we may have already seen the top on May 20th at 2134.71 for the SP500.

Following is a monthly chart of the SP500 with the 7 year cycle on it. The red bars near the bottom of the cycle indicator show time period that the 7 year cycle is estimated to hit it's trough. It's due, as is the 4 year cycle.



On the following daily chart I've noted the time period to look for a trough for this nominal 18 week cycle.



On the following chart which is the average longitude of the planets Mars through Pluto
(blue lines) converted to price. Price has fallen away from the thick blue price line and is now three price lines below it near 1978.

Note the other recent OPEX dates (red circle). They have been at highs then down. Also note the red vertical lines (Fibonacci grid) which started at the Oct 15, 2014 low. The next red vertical line is Fib 233 td's from that October low on Sept 17th. This and other items should make mid September very important. More details for subscribers.



The coming aspects could also indicate earthquake activity or severe weather. Violent events continue.

At this point, following are the highs in the US indexes. Also noted are the dates the 50 day simple moving average crossed the 200 day sma, the so-called death cross.

DJIA               May 19, 2015 50 day sma crossed below the 200 day sma on Aug 11th

Following is a daily chart of the SP500 with a fan indicator. The dark blue fan line is 45 degrees. The starting point is the low at March 6, 2009. The blue 45 degree line is currently at 2122. Price has broken through this line on 3 occasions recently and has now created some separation. This hasn't happened for some time. This is another bearish indicator.



And I've been waiting for this weekly chart of the SP500 with the 21 and 34 weekly moving averages to turn for some time. Another bearish indicator.



Saturn will be moving into Sagittarius in September. This is better stated that karmic Saturn will enter spiritual Sagittarius.

Some of the biggest moves in the US markets have occurred when Saturn is in mutable signs. The mutable signs are Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius and Pisces. The following monthly chart of the DJIA shows when Saturn was in mutable signs, the colored x's



In Summary
The expected down turn started and was more severe than anticipated. Such a move in a few days should result in volatile environment, up and down, for some time. This should be a great environment for those who enjoy short term trading, like me. {^_^}.

The dates where the Sun will again translate the T-square mentioned above are prime candidates for volatility. Again they are Aug 26th and Aug 31st. All dates are +- 2 td's unless otherwise noted. The perigee Full Moon on August 29th is also very close to the forming Jupiter / Neptune opposition. I'll send out alerts to subscribers when trading opportunities appear.

With the strength of the move down this week we can't discount a longer term cycle forming.

4 year  6.5-7 year
See the following weekly chart of the DJIA. The red squares are the Jupiter Saturn waning square, 3 pass. The green squares are the Saturn Neptune square. They overlap and could be pointing to a period of dramatic change. Other items noted on the chart are Saturn in Sagittarius, the time frame for the 3.3 year Kitchin cycle trough and the next Primary cycle trough. I look to the periods of overlap to determine more major market moves. I bring this up since I think there will be a stronger down move late in 2015 or early 2016.



Synodic Cycles
VIDEO

Based on the work of the French Astrologer, Barbault, the Jupiter Neptune cycle is related to the economies of the European eastern bloc and particularly with France. Watch for news out of Europe over the next few weeks, probably negative news, dealing with their economies or the influx of migrants from the mid-East and northern Africa.

Gold
Gold put in a  Primary cycle   1 trough on March 17th. It appears we got the nominal 18 week trough on July 24th and we are entering the 5th week.

We are in the first nominal 6 week cycle of a new nominal 18 week cycle. As mentioned many times we often get a pullback in the 2nd or 3rd weeks before the cycle moves up. We got a small pullback Aug 13, 14, 17. With the currency wars heating up Gold should benefit. This may wait until the next 18 week cycle trough, that is late 2015 / early 2016. We need to see more price action for PM's over the next few weeks. I'm expecting a pullback. Since heliocentric Mercury is about to enter Sagittarius Gold may go up or hold it's value until heliocentric Mercury exits Sagittarius on Sept 3rd. I suspect Gold will go down before then.

Besides the 18 week cycle there are a number of longer term cycles due and potent aspects which have a history of turns in precious metals.



The following daily Gold chart shows the heliocentric Venus (green) and Jupiter (blue) price lines. Gold started moving up when it hit the 27 cd (calendar day) cycle (red vertical line). It moved up sharply when the Venus price line crossed the Jupiter price line as it has so many times. Nevertheless I'm looking for a pullback. Note the 9 day CCI at the bottom of the chart. Not positive short term.




Crude
This coming week of Aug 24th we should be entering the 23rd week of a Primary cycle which started Mar 18, 2015.

I'm watching the dates around any Neptune or Jupiter aspects and there is a big one in September. The T-square mentioned above includes Saturn, Jupiter and Neptune and the Sun will be translating all 3 from now to the end of the month. Although Saturn may be emphasized the influence of Jupiter and Neptune should be felt. Beyond the price of crude this may see a period of confusion or delusion over this period. Crude also tends to have a change in trend, either a crest or a trough when geocentric Mars is in Leo. Mars entered Leo on August 8th and will be there until Sept 24th. Watch for a change in trend during this period.

Crude put in a "W" bottom, marked PB (Primary bottom) and DB ( double bottom).



As seen on the following chart crude dropped away from the Neptune price line (green) and now continues with lower lows.

The lines are 45 degrees apart. 45 degrees is (360 / 8) = 45 or also known as the 8th harmonic.

We are getting late in the nominal 18 week cycle in crude. Watch price closely as it approaches any of the price lines or dates mentioned above.



Another chart we have not shown for awhile is the weekly crude chart with the 16 week (red) and 24 week (blue) cycles. Where they meet the cycle line is green and is typically found at crests but sometimes inverts to a trough. The next green line is early November. 2015 close to a Neptune direct signature.

Previous Alert on Aug. 17th, 2015

Following is the ALERT sent to subscribers on August 17th.

//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
I'm looking for a turn Aug 21, 2015 +- 2 tds.

This looks like the possible start of a more significant downtrend in the major market indices.

On Aug 21 the Sun will square Saturn which will energies the T square formation that Saturn is in with Jupiter and Neptune.

In fact Jupiter and Neptune are forming an opposition and Saturn is squaring both these planets. This puts Saturn as the focal planet and it is still in Scorpio (debt and other peoples money) and it is still in mutual reception with Pluto, making both quite powerful.

It is possible this move down could go down into late September close to the Solar and Lunar eclipses. The exact Jupiter opposition to Neptune date is Sept 17 the same day Saturn enters Sagittarius.

The Aug 21 date could also affect Gold in a positive way and the whole period while the T-Square forms may be important for crude.

Update August 19, 2015

A very important ALERT went out to subscribers a few days ago.

Good luck and good trading.

Saturday, August 15, 2015

Financial Astrology - August 17, 2015


 - Our second half 2015 forecast dates are now available.
                      - Subscriptions include the forecast dates and a monthly Market letter with                          eMail alerts for imminent trading opportunities
                      - We do not use negative option billing nor do we sell email addresses

We will be sending ALERTS to subscribers with specific dates when there are imminent trading opportunities forming.

SP500
For the SP500, cycle-wise we are entering the 6th week of a new Primary cycle  1 cycle that started on July 7th.  This cycle is aka, the nominal 18 week with a range of 15 to 21 weeks.

The next time band for a nominal 18 week (Primary) cycle trough is noted on the second chart of the SP500 and is from Oct 19 through Dec 1st 2015. There are a number of longer term cycles that may hit their troughs about the same time. Details on the subscriber letter.

Before we get there I'm expecting a more major pullback in the major market indices in late August / early September. I'm looking for a rise first and that maybe next week which would coincide with the middle of the Venus retrograde time period. We often get a move, either high or a low near the mid-point of the Venus retrograde period. I'm looking for a move higher next week which could reverse down as soon as Aug 21st.

The Sun will begin it's translation of a T-square beginning on Aug 21 with the Sun in waning square to Saturn. In this case Saturn is the focal point of a T-square between Jupiter, Saturn and Neptune. Jupiter and Neptune may point to confusion but remember Saturn is still in Scorpio, debt and other peoples money and continues in mutual reception with Pluto, making both stronger. We may be hearing more news of debt problem or confusion surrounding debt or financing This configuration could also be pointing to violent weather.

 There is also a perigee Full Moon on August 29th. Beyond the markets the perigee (closest pass to Earth) Full Moon can be a time of severe weather, earthquakes / volcanoes and general violent actions.

There are other potent aspects in September, particularly Sept 6 - 17th. This will be covered in a future post.

First we should be looking for the crest of the first nominal 6 week cycle of the Primary cycle. The nominal 18 week cycle often breaks down into 3 nominal 6 week cycles. They would have a range of 5-7 weeks. Assuming we are 6 weeks along the crest currently was back on July 20th. As discussed recently this is very left translated and very bearish.

This is so bearish that we may need to reconsider the July 7th date as the low for the nominal 18 week cycle. We are leaving it there for now, just a note it may need to be changed.

This first cycle of the nominal 18 week cycle could be a 1/2 Primary cycle  1   , the 2nd most common type, then the cycle would be approx. 6 weeks along with a range of 8-10 weeks. This would give more time for the SP500 to put in a crest above the July 20th date. This also fits better with my forecast for a move up then a more severe move down in September. Note: This could be as early as August 21. The concept behind the 6 week and 1/2 Primary cycles were from the work of Ray Merriman and Walter Bressert.

The fact I'm looking for a slow forming top for the whole 6 year move means we may start seeing more left translated cycles or at least cresting in the middle of the cycle rather than being right translated. Also we may have already seen the top on May 20th at 2134.71 for the SP500.

From last weeks blog post:
"Later in the week there is a significant negative aspect which may affect the USA directly."

Now I had originally thought this date was August 13th; however, the down moves were August 11th and 12th with the Chinese revaluing their currency, 1 and 2 days before the Aug 13th forecast dates. Another good reason to use +- 2 or 3 tds in this case. There is a little more quantum flux in the Universe than many allow for. We typically need to look at a range of days.

I also mentioned looking at this Hebrew SHEMITAH date at the request of a subscriber. This is not Astrology. Apparently there is a movie, DVD's and multiple websites covering this subject. I guess I don't get out much?

SHEMITAH and Blood Moons

A brief summary and definitions of these events which are getting more mainstream attention as we approach mid-September 2015

Let me first say I am no Bible expert and was looking at the past effects of these events on the stock market. I realize there are other claims and forecasts and potential dire events. I'll let the reader search these as they see fit.

First some definitions.

SHEMITAH is based on the Hebrew calendar not the western calendar (as used in North America). It is based on a 7 year cycle.

Separate from this, there is a very reliable 7 year cycle in the stock market.

The 7 year stock market cycle is due this year.

What is a Shemitah Year…? The Shemitah Year is the seventh year of the seven-year agricultural cycle mandated by the Torah for the Land of Israel and still observed in contemporary Judaism. When Moses received the Levitical law, God gave the commandment to rest on the seventh day… the Sabbath. Moses also applied the cycles of "seven" to weeks and years. A cycle of seven weeks points to the 50th day, called Pentecost. And a cycle of seven sets of seven years points to the 50th year, the year of Jubilee. The year of Jubilee is based on letting the land rest every seventh year as follows; "For six years sow your fields, and for six years prune your vineyards and gather their crops. But in the seventh year the land is to have a Sabbath of rest, a Sabbath to the Lord." (Leviticus 25:3-4)

The 2015  SHEMITAH falls of the 29th of Elul in the Hebrew calendar which will be Sept 13, 2015. That date is also a partial Solar eclipse. From a review of past SHEMITAH dates this could be the start of a move down in the markets or the bottom of a move that has already taken place.

This is also a Jubilee year which is 7 * 7 SHEMITAH years or 49 years.

If you look at the chart below the last SHEMITAH year was 1966 and is the last red line on the chart. It did occur on a market pull back.

Blood Moons Tetrad and some other Definitions

Tetrad: When four consecutive lunar eclipses are all total eclipses, the group is known as a tetrad. The next Total Lunar Eclipse is Sept 27th and by definition is a blood moon.

The Saros Cycle: is an eclipse cycle with a period of about 18 years 11 days 8 hours (approximately 65851/3 days) that can be used to predict eclipses of the Sun and Moon.  One cycle after an eclipse… the Sun, Earth, and Moon return to approximately the same relative geometry, and a nearly identical eclipse will occur west of the original location.

Tishri: Is the seventh month of the religious year for Israel and the first month of the civil year for Israel. This month holds the feasts of Rosh Hashanah, Yom Kippur, and Tabernacles (also known as Sukkoth).

Rosh Hashanah: This is a two day feast occurring on Tishri 1 and Tishri 2 of the Hebrew calendar. This is also called the feast of trumpets. A lot of people believe this feast day is tied to the rapture of the Christian Church prior to the start of the tribulation.

Yom Kippur: This is known as the Day of Atonement. It is considered to be one of the most important of Jewish Holidays of the year. It is a day set aside to atone for the sins of the past year. It occurs on the 10th day of Tishri. It is found in Leviticus 23:26-32.

Sukkoth (Tabernacles): The feast of Sukkoth begins on Tishri 15, the fifth day of Yom Kippur. It is a joyous feast day while Yom Kippur is one of the most solemn of feast days. Sukkoth is a feast day with a festival atmosphere. It marks a season of rejoicing. Sukkoth means booths and refers to temporary dwelling places the Jews gather into during this holiday.

Nissan: The first month of the Jewish Religious Year - this occurs in the spring time. Passover Occurs on the 15th day of this month.

Passover: The Hebrew feast day commemorating the Lamb Sacrifice in Exodus where the Angel of Death passed over Israel while the firstborn in Egypt were slain. It also is the same day the Lord Yeshua (Jesus Christ), our lamb sacrifice for sins, was crucified.

Following is a monthly chart of the SP500 with the 7 year cycle on it. The red bars near the bottom of the cycle indicator show time period that the 7 year cycle is estimated to hit it's trough. Note the negative divergence between price and the TSI indicator.



On the following daily chart of the SP500 the light blue lines are Fibonacci retracements from June 22nd to July 7th. I'm watching to see if price can get above some of the previous highs.



On the following chart which is the average longitude of the planets Mars through Pluto
(blue lines) converted to price. Price has fallen away from the think blue price line and touched one of the thinner blue price lines at 2066.11. Again we got support at the thinner blue line.

Note the other recent OPEX dates (red circle). They have been at a high then down. If we move up into the Aug 21 OPEX date and turned down from there it would fit the above forecast realizing the high may be later than Aug 21.



The coming aspects could also indicate earthquake activity or severe weather. Anytime Uranus and Saturn or Pluto are emphasized I'll be looking for potential earthquake activity. Violent events continue.

At this point, following are the highs in the US indexes. Also noted are the dates the 50 day simple moving average crossed the 200 day sma, the so-called death cross.
DJIA               May 19, 2015 50 day sma crossed below the 200 day sma on Aug 11th

Another chart we have not looked at for awhile is the following daily chart of the SP500 with a fan indicator. The dark blue fan line is 45 degrees. The starting point is the low at March 6, 2009. The blue 45 degree line is currently at 2117. Price has broken through this line on 3 occasions recently. This hasn't happened for some time. This would be another bearish indicator if price cannot get above this long term, 45 degree line and it's still below.



In summary Early in the week there no harsh Astrological aspects until Aug 21 where we have the Sun in waning square to Saturn. This week is also the mid-point of the Venus retrograde period. If we move up this week onto Aug 21 I'll be looking to short the general markets. We then get into the Sun translating the T-square noted above. There is further heavy Astrological transits in September along with a partial Solar eclipse and a total Lunar eclipse.

See the following weekly chart of the DJIA. The red squares are the Jupiter Saturn waning square, 3 pass. The green squares are the Saturn Neptune square. They overlap and could be pointing to a period of dramatic change. Other items noted on the chart are Saturn in Sagittarius, the time frame for the 3.3 year Kitchin cycle trough and the next Primary cycle trough. I look to the periods of overlap to determine more major market moves. I bring this up since I think there will be a stronger down move late in 2015 or early 2016.



Gold
Gold put in a  Primary cycle   1 trough on March 17th. It appears we got the nominal 18 week trough either July 24th or August 6th.  

Either way we are in the first nominal 6 week cycle of a new Primary cycle. As mentioned many times we often get a pullback in the 2nd or 3rd weeks before the cycle moves up. With the currency wars heating up Gold should benefit. This may wait until the next 18 week cycle trough. We need to see more price action for PM's over the next few weeks.

Besides the 18 week cycle there are a number of longer term cycles due and potent aspects which have a history of turns in precious metals.



The following daily Gold chart shows the heliocentric Venus (green) and Jupiter (blue) price lines. Gold started moving up when it hit the 27 cd (calendar day) cycle (red vertical line). It pulled back when it was close to the Venus price line (green) on Aug 13th. Note the 9 day CCI at the bottom of the chart. Not positive short term. 27 is an interesting number. It takes 27 days for the Moon to circle the Earth and then another approx. 2.5 days for the Moon to catch up to the Earth;s movement. Also it takes 27 days for the Sun to rotate once at the equator. 108 is an ancient Vedic number 108 / 4 = 27.




Crude
This coming week of Aug 17th we should be entering the 22nd week of a Primary cycle which started Mar 18, 2015.

I'm watching the dates around any Neptune or Jupiter aspects and there is a big one in September. The T-square mentioned above includes Saturn, Jupiter and Neptune and the Sun will be translating all 3 from now to the end of the month. Although Saturn may be emphasized, the influence of Jupiter and Neptune should be felt. Beyond the price of crude this may see a period of confusion or delusion over this period. Crude also tends to have a change in trend, either a crest or a trough when geocentric Mars is in Leo. Mars entered Leo on August 8th and will be there until Sept 24th. Watch for a change in trend during this period.

Crude put in a "W" bottom, marked PB (Primary bottom) and DB ( double bottom).



As seen on the following chart crude dropped away from the Neptune price line (green) and now continues with lower lows.

The lines are 45 degrees apart. 45 degrees is (360 / 8) = 45 or also known as the 8th harmonic.

We are getting late in the nominal 18 week cycle in crude. Watch price closely as it approaches any of the price lines. We may have seen the beginning of a bounce this week as crude touched the Jupiter price line (orange) and finished just below the Neptune price line.



Another chart we have not shown for awhile is the weekly crude chart with the 16 week (red) and 24 week (blue) cycles. Where they meet the cycle line is green and is typically found at crests but sometimes inverts to a trough. The next green line is early November. 2015 close to a Neptune direct signature.

Financial Astrology - Update Aug 12, 2015

I was surprised by the move today and I mean the move up starting at noon in the SP500.

I'm looking for trouble in the USA tomorrow. August 13th.

The reasons were in the August 2015 letter.

In addition to the reasons in the August letter, Saturn and Pluto are conjunct on a 24 Harmonic chart.

Be careful in the markets and anywhere else you may go.

SP500
For the SP500, cycle-wise we are entering the 5th week of a new Primary cycle  1 cycle that started on July 7th.  This cycle is aka, the nominal 18 week with a range of 15 to 21 weeks.

The next time band for a nominal 18 week (Primary) cycle trough is noted on the first chart and is from Oct 19 through Dec 1st 2015. There are a number of longer term cycles that may hit their troughs about the same time, actually closer to year end or early in 2016.

First we should be looking for the crest of the first nominal 6 week cycle of the Primary cycle. The nominal 18 week cycle often breaks down into 3 nominal 6 week cycles. They would have a range of 5-7 weeks. As we are 5 weeks along in the 18 week cycle, we should start looking for a crest for the 6 week cycle. But this doesn't look like a 6 week cycle about to hit it's crest. In fact if this is the first 6 week cycle of the nominal 18 week cycle the crest was July 20th at 2128.28. This would be only 2 weeks from the start of the nominal 18 week cycle. This is very left translated where the top of a cycle occurs before the mid-point of the cycle. It is very bearish.

This is so bearish that we may need to reconsider the July 7th date as the low for the nominal 18 week cycle. We are leaving it there for now, just a note it may need to be changed. 

If this turns out to be a left translated cycle with the crest in the first 2 weeks of of a new nominal 18 week cycle it could be signalling the beginning of a bear market. Stay tuned.

This first cycle of the nominal 18 week cycle could be a 1/2 Primary cycle  1   , the 2nd most common type, then the cycle would be approx. 9 weeks long with a range of 8-10 weeks. This would give more time for the SP500 to put in a crest above the July 20th date. The concept behind the 6 week and 1/2 Primary cycles were from the work of Ray Merriman and Walter Bressert.

There are a number of planets changing signs over the next week, Mercury into Virgo, Mars into Leo and Jupiter into Virgo. Planets changing signs often results in a change in trend for the major market indices. The short term trend is currently down.

With the Astrological transits dead ahead it looks difficult for the markets to make it back up to the July 20th high. Of course with the FED injections anything is possible. 

There is one aspect in the coming week which may affect the USA directly. Subs have the date.

The fact I'm looking for a slow forming top for the whole 6 year move means we may start seeing more left translated cycles or at least cresting in the middle of the cycle rather than being right translated. Also we may have already seen the top on May 20th at 2134.71 for the SP500.

From last weeks blog post:
"The Astrological aspects seem to be pointing to a move down. If it does not move up this would be  bearish as we could be looking at a very left translated cycle."

And down we went, finishing near the 38.2% Fibonacci retracement of the move down from June 22nd to July 7th.

You may have heard of the Hebrew Shemitah date which is coming up in September. There appears to be a number of groups possibly trying to exploit this time period. I'll look into it this coming week and include it on next weeks blog. I bring this up now because it is based on the well known 7 year cycle which I have mentioned numerous times. It is also based on 7, 7 year cycles or 49 years. Having gone back there were pullbacks near the Shemitah date but I need to do some more work, so...I'll leave it for next week. Following is a chart with the 7 year cycle.

With or without this Hebrew, Shemitah date, September is shaping up to be problematic for the markets with a number of Astrological aspects and planets changing direction.



On the following daily chart of the SP500 the light blue lines are Fibonacci retracements from June 22nd to July 7th. Note today's move got stopped at the 38.2 % Fib retracement near 2077.



On the following chart which is the average longitude of the planets Mars through Pluto
(blue lines) converted to price. Price has fallen away from the think blue price line and touched one of the thinner blue price lines at 2066.11. We have been getting support from this line so watch this closely next week. A break through this average price line would be another bearish indicator. I suspect a bounce early in the week.

On the chart the red dots are previous OPEX dates. (Option expiry, 3rd Friday of each month). The market has been pulling back after these dates. I read this somewhere but forgotten the source. The next OPEX date is August 21st.



The coming aspects could also indicate earthquake activity or severe weather. Anytime Uranus and Saturn or Pluto are emphasized I'll be looking for potential earthquake activity. Violent events continue. What a world.

At this point, following are the highs in the US indexes.
DJIA               May 19, 2015
DJTI               Nov 28, 2014
SP500             May 20, 2015
NYSE             May 21, 2015

Another chart we have not looked at for awhile is the following daily chart of the SP500 with a fan indicator. The dark blue fan line is 45 degrees. The starting point is the low at March 6, 2009. The blue 45 degree line is currently at 2110. Price has broken through this line on 3 occasions recently. This hasn't happened for some time. This would be another bearish indicator if price cannot get above this long term, 45 degree line.



Another long term chart showing weakness is the following weekly chart of the SP500 with a 21 week (red) and 34 week (blue) weekly averages again showing weakness. Price has not spent much time below these moving averages during the massive move up. The 3 red squares are the Saturn / Uranus sesquisquare (135 degrees). I'm watching this weekly chart to see if the 21 sma crosses below the 34 week moving average.



In summary Early in the week there are no harsh Astrological aspects. Monday we may see a short period of negativity but we may then get a bounce early on. Later in the week there is a significant negative aspect which may affect the USA directly. Subscribers have the date. If the SP500 does not move up this would be very bearish as we could be looking at a very left translated cycle.

In addition to the monthly report, subscribers also receive forecast turn dates for the SP500 and Gold. The following chart show the dates, so far, in the 2nd half of 2015 for the SP500 index. The red arrows show where the forecast dates occurred. This is an hourly chart.



On Aug 3rd Jupiter made a waning trine to Saturn. There's a lot to say about this aspect. Here's one point. Every pass of the waning square between Jupiter and Saturn that has been a 3 pass has resulted in a longer term cycle unfolding between the first and last passages. This will be a 3 pass. The dates are Aug 3, 2015, March 23, 2016 and June 26, 2016. We should be looking for a longer term cycle to occur between the Aug 3, 2015 and June 26, 2016. Subscribers have the longer term cycles. Subscribers also have information on the upcoming "Mutation Conjunction" in Air, which should be an exciting period of time. The last time this happened was the year 1226.

See the following weekly chart of the DJIA. The red squares are the Jupiter Saturn waning square, 3 pass. The green squares are the Saturn Neptune square. They overlap and could be pointing to a period of dramatic change.



Gold
Gold put in a  Primary cycle   1 trough on March 17th. This was 1 td after the Uranus / Pluto square. This puts us entering the 21st week of the nominal 18 week during this coming week.  

It should be noted Gold has followed an 18-19 week cycle fairly closely for 2 years although there were some inversions (a high where a low was expected). We should be getting close to a trough.  Besides the 18 week cycle there are a number of longer term cycles due and potent aspects which have a history of turns in precious metals.

Watch the period around the Sun waxing trine Uranus on Aug 13 +- 4 tds. for a turn in precious metals. This could be late this week near the New Moon on Aug 14th or early the following week. This is also near the mid-point of the Venus retrograde period another period where PM's tend to reverse. There is also a very powerful Astrological aspect which will be hitting the Sun in the USA natal chart, reserved for subscribers.

The Gold chart is fulfilling all our requirements for a nominal 18 week cycle low, that is price is below the 15 and 45 day sma's and the 15 day is less than the 45 day and there are a number of Astrological aspects which have a history of changes in trend for Gold. Watch for a reversal in trend within 4 td's of the dates mentioned above. A number of technical indicators are pointing to a potential change in trend.



The following daily Gold chart shows the heliocentric Venus (green) and Jupiter (blue) price lines. Gold has been moving sideways over last week.. The Miners (Gold Mining companies) often lead Gold higher. Some indicators like "TSI" are improving for The Miners. On the following chart Gold needs to break above the Jupiter price line near 1096-1097 for an early sign of a trend change.



On July 19, 2015 approximately 2.7 billion dollars of Gold was dumped on the market at 9:30 pm on a Sunday evening. This was at a time when the market was the least liquid. Whoever was selling was guaranteed to get the lowest price. This had the effect reducing Gold prices by $50.00 per ounce or approx. 4.2%. I bring this up as an example of market manipulation that is occurring. There are many other examples.

Crude
This coming week of Aug 10th we should be entering the 21st week of a Primary cycle which started Mar 18, 2015.

I'm watching the dates around any Neptune or Jupiter aspects and there is a big one in September. Crude also tends to have a change in trend, either a crest or a trough when geocentric Mars is in Leo. Mars entered Leo on August 8th and will be there until Sept 24th. Watch for a change in trend during this period.

Crude put in a "W" bottom, marked PB (Primary bottom) and DB ( double bottom).



As seen on the following chart crude dropped away from the Neptune price line (green) and now continues with lower lows.

The lines are 45 degrees apart. 45 degrees is (360 / 8) = 45 or also known as the 8th harmonic.

We are getting late in the nominal 18 week cycle in crude. Watch price closely as it approaches any of the price lines.



Another chart we have not shown for awhile is the weekly crude chart with the 16 week (red) and 24 week (blue) cycles. Where they meet the cycle line is green and is typically found at crests but sometimes inverts to a trough. The next green line is early November. 2015 close to a Neptune direct signature.
