Grand Trine in Earth - Week of March 12, 2012

SP500

So, we have arrived at the week of the large grand trine in earth. I’ve been pondering over this timeframe for quite some time. In Astrology trines are generally construed as positive. This one takes pace in earth signs between (Jupiter + Venus), Mars and Pluto. Jupiter and Venus are conjunct, another positive and Venus is in it’s rulership, another positive. Venus and Jupiter are the two money planets in a horoscope. Nevertheless I think we are going down, stocks that is. We may get one last pop on March 12. If the FED announces or hints at a QE 3 program then all bets are off. Just buy and sit on your hands.

I’ll be watching the following chart closely. This chart shows the fib retracements from point A to point B and then moves them up to start at C. So far this marked the top. If the SP breaks the 1376 area on strong volume we may have to re-visit this call. This may be a double top. 78.6% or 1330 retracements can be strong support. .786 is the square root of .618. If the SP500 breaks the 1330 area the other fib retracements shown may be good support areas.

Why do I think the stock markets will be going down? I’m not looking for a crash just a corrective pullback of 3%-5%. Jupiter aspects can mark periods of time when things are overdone. On Monday evening March 12 Mercury turns retrograde. Also Monday evening the Uranian point, Hades turns direct while it is very close to the powerful Capricorn / Cancer axis and it is almost on the antiscia point for the May 20, 2012. The period around May 20, 2012 maybe a timeframe to remember. In addition both heliocentric Mercury and Venus will be changing signs and both will be aspecting Neptune in the early part of Pisces.

The middle / third cycle of heliocentric Mercury often marks a short term pull back in the markets. This is not necessarily to the day.

We also have the North Node squaring Mars and quincunx Jupiter. March 13 is 110 td's (fib 55td's * 2) from the Oct4, 2011 lows.

In short we are looking for a possible high on Monday March 12 and then a move lower. We do not want to see the SP go much higher then the 1376 - 1380 area. This is a tough call based on Astros alone.

Following is a list of Astro based critical days for 2012. As we progress I may be adding or deleting dates.As always allow +- 3 days.

Crude.

I thought we would have a bigger move down in crude based on the 16 and 24 week cycles. We may still see it this coming week.

Gold and Silver
I'm looking for Gold and Silver to move lower into either the spring equinox or month end. Like stocks they could have a surge on Monday.
