SP500

For the SP500, cycle-wise June 27 was the last Primary cycle trough. ¹ that puts us entering the 20th week. I was looking for a possible 50 week low to coincide with that June 27th Primary trough. The sharp move up after the June 27th Primary low seems to confirm this was the 50 week trough as well.

The next estimated Primary cycle ( aka nominal 18 week cycle)  low was estimated to be  October 24 +- 3 weeks with a range of October 3rd to November 14th. As we get closer I use the upcoming Astros to try and get a more exact reading on when the Primary cycle trough will occur.

In this case we have a major event, the Presidential elections in the USA. I'm looking for a turn in the SP500 around November 8th +- 2 tds. Bear in mind this election is very contentious. Any signs of rigging or otherwise tampering with the true results could lead to revolt. With the transits in play, particularly the many Neptune transits and events, expect the unexpected.

So we are awaiting troughs in the 18 week cycle and the 40 week cycle. They will undoubtedly occur together and it could be November 8th +- a couple of TD's (trading  days) or one of the key dates in the November subscriber report.

There is another date near the end of the month which could indicate a pleasant change. If not pleasant it should at least be a change.

I've mentioned Election day, November 8th +- 2 td's as a possible low but this could mark a more severe move. Currently I'm looking for a low near November 8th but it could be choppy on the way. Around this date there are a number of planets changing signs which often leads to changes on planet Earth. An example is heliocentric Mercury entering Sagittarius which often coincide with price swings in precious metals and currencies. Watch for this between November 7 through the 14th. If the election process is questioned and the people are not happy with the winner look for a pick up in social unrest. If there are problems on election day they could drag on into the inauguration day of January 20, 2017.

For those who have been reading this blog for awhile I've been looking for some large deceit or lies being exposed. The whole mess of the scandals in the US election was probably it and includes WikiLeaks eMails and Anonymous. There are more Neptune aspects coming up so I wouldn't say they are over.

The internet outage on October 21 is certainly an indication of how secure the internet is and how vulnerable to attack. As someone said "Build a Fire Wall before a Wall." It also shows the power and influence of some of these information based organizations like Anonymous and WikiLeaks.

In addition there is a 12 year cycle hitting near the end of the month. This synodic cycle relates to the growth of international terrorism and political power. It also has evidence of an impact on the economy. In brief, the attainment of power of all kinds.

One area of note. Saturn will be at 14 degrees, 41 minutes in Sagittarius on November 3rd. This is conjunct the Fixed Star Sarin. Fixed Stars are treated as if they stand still. They do move but very slowly. Saturn moves slowly as well. It takes approx. 29 years for one trip around the Sun. The last time Saturn was in this position was

September 5, 1987. A few days before the market crash of '87. This is far from definite but look for a possible severe move down around November 3rd - 8th or shortly thereafter.

In mundane astrology the star names can also be significant. On March 20, 1995 there was a sarin attack on the Tokyo subway, killing at least a dozen people, severely injuring fifty and causing temporary vision problems for nearly a thousand others. Transiting Jupiter was conjunct this fixed star Sarin. Note I am not forecasting the same event.

We saw a number of earthquakes over 6.0 in October. With a number of  Neptune transits in November we may be seeing more. Look for more geophysical activity closer to November 14, a perigee Full Moon or SuperMoon which means the Moon is very close to the closets point to Earth for this Lunar orbit. This puts extra gravitational forces at work. It can be seen in increased tidal strength and has a history of increased earthquake activity and violent weather. Violent people as well. This Super Moon is one of the strongest in many years.

Following is a daily chart of the SP500. The brown line is an adjusted Bradley indicator. It's purpose is to find a change in trend. This is not straight forward to read and the details with video are in section 9 of the subscribers report.

Price is now below both the 15 and 45 day sma's and the 15 day is below the 45 day. A usual setup leading into a Primary cycle low. Also, November 4th was an Inverted Hammer candlestick pattern.

The rest of November and further forward are going to depend on the Election results. The following day, November 9th Mars enters Aquarius and Venus quintiles Neptune. Mars in Aquarius produces reformist tendencies. It stands for independence and the pursuit of unusual and reformist action. The pursuit of new ideas. Aquarius is a fixed air sign. Mars (fire) in Aquarius (air) can be explosive. This is pointing to a situation where there are possible problem on election day and the period thereafter is somewhat chaotic. The aspect to Neptune on November 9th can lead to more confusion. The remainder of November and December have confusing aspects which may point to problems with election results.

I have seen Trump's Astrological chart and it shows a candidate that has a very good chance of winning, lucky in fact. His problem maybe handling the many promises he has made. He'll need like minded people in both houses to implement the changes he has campaigned on.

There is no accurate chart for Hillary (no accurate time) that I am aware of so any forecasts for her are questionable. On a broader scale for Hillary there is a midpoint aspect that reflects on Hillary. From the "Book of Rules" "Suddenly checkmated, disconnected. Nervous body. Epilepsy. Suddenly taken away by sickness. Burials. Excitement through deception." This book was written in 1928.

Whoever wins will have a mountain of problems with debt and poor relationship with other countries.

To our American friends. Make your own choice and don't listen to the main stream media. If the main stream media was doing it's job of exposing corruption there would be no place for WikiLeaks or organizations like them. Unfortunately the main stream media seem to be part of the corruption.

Following is a chart of the planetary average longitude. The horizontal blue lines are based on the average longitude of the planets Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto which are converted to price. The levels this calculates typically are excellent points to place sell or buy stops. I often use them with Fibonacci retracement levels as well. Price started down Oct. 24th and appears to be speeding up with the US election news on.

Two charts we have not shown for awhile are the weekly charts of the DJIA with the 40 week and 18 cycles. The cycles are the vertical blue lines. Both are due to hit their trough.

40 week

The orange squares are Neptune turning Direct. Note that it is often just before a decline.

18week

Harmonics

I continue to watch the 24th harmonic cycle (360 / 24) cycle between the Sun and Saturn, which are the brown squares on the following daily chart. The next hits are Nov 4th then Nov. 23rd and Dec. 9th.  They are often at short changes in trend.

Rumors from the FED that Yellen wants a "high-pressure economy" meaning increased inflation with no rate cuts. There were also rumors of the FED buying stock directly. They should review Japan again.

And two points for the two Presidential candidates.

And

“More than any other time in history, mankind faces a crossroads. One path leads to despair and utter hopelessness. The other, to total extinction. Let us pray we have the wisdom to choose correctly.”

Gold

I was looking at May 31 as the start of a new nominal 18 week cycle   ¹ trough.

The current Gold primary cycle may have ended on October 7th. in which case Gold would normally be bullish. This has taken awhile to form and we may be looking at a pullback as we get closer to the 6th week cycle. (Gold most often starts a Primary cycle with a nominal 6 week cycle. That's +- 1 week).

Beyond the nominal 18 week cycle there is a 13 1/2 month cycle that is due for a trough then up. Again it may have been October 7th. Watch this closely. If the 13 1/2 month cycle is in front of us there may be a hard move down in precious metals. Remember our point on heliocentric Mercury entering Sagittarius. It often effects precious metals, currencies and price swings.

The following weekly chart for Gold has the 13.5 month cycle shown as the blue vertical lines. It has been close to both highs and lows and we are close now.

The next chart is a longer term monthly chart showing the 7.4 year cycle in Gold. They are the red vertical lines. Note that the 7.4 year cycle put in a low in late 2015. We are now in a pull back but we are very early in the 7.4 year cycle which should be bullish in the long term. I'm looking for a more substantial move up later in November or December.

Crude

August 3rd was the start of the Primary cycle and we now 14 weeks along. We could get a bounce for one more crest but I'm playing this as a move down into the Primary cycle low and will ignore any bounce in the coming weeks. I'll look for the low in December of possibly January 2017.

We have had a Major cycle (aka 6 week cycle) crest (MT) and a Major cycle trough (MB) and are going down into the second Major cycle of the Primary cycle.

I'm watching all aspects to Jupiter or Neptune, the two rulers of crude. The price of crude is subject to the vagaries of the OPEC group and the actions of it's individual members. We had been looking for a retest of the August lows but now have put in the crest of this Primary cycle on October 19th. Many markets will be influenced by the US leading into the November 8th election. With the multiple Neptune aspects crude could be volatile in November.

Following is a daily chart of crude shows the price lines for the Sun (green) and Pluto (black). Note that recent moves down in crude had stopped at the up sloping green line, the Sun price line and broke through to the down-side on November 4th. Pluto, the black line often acts as support or resistance. The next Pluto price is at 42.00
