So it has been some Week, and it has been some Weeks !!

1/ Mercury crosses r.Uranus at 18hrs today UKT. Hopefully Volatility will begin to drop off after that.

2/ Looking at Monday onwards fro a few days. Mars will have entered Virgo and Venus arrives a few days after.

For me Virgo is all about Banking and Accounting. People start looking into the details of things.

r.Uranus is trine much of that so that might help energise them +VEly.

Soon after the Sun brings that into even more focus, and Mercury cross the Asteriod of Fear on the 28th Aug. He combusts on the 4th Sept.

3/ The Sun is tracking Mars and then conjunct on the 2nd Sept. That is an interesting thing. Perhaps NOT if you have sensitivity around the 11°-12° Virgo mark.

But worth watching what happens then, and the poor old Mercury gets worked over by that Heat on the 3rd into the 4th Sept.

Something will give then too. r.Uranus may ease that though.

H

I was reading in the FT today loads of articles about the Bond Yield inversion. When Venus combusts Bonds hit the Headlines.

We had a Uranus square New Moon, just after the Mars r.Pluto 150°.

Then we had the combustion with other Factors linked to it.

Jupiter is no direct. And Uranus aspects all the New Moons till April.

We won't need Trump to Rock the Boat then, but he will certainly whilst Jupiter is crossing his intercepted Points.

What to say ? From Astro's point of View the Markets took a real kick where it hurts ?

And in Leo too. Soon we'll be in Virgo. Trines from r.Saturn and r.Pluto. Trines from r.Uranus. A r.Uranus trine New Moon ? Jupiter squares ?

r.Neptune oppositions ? t.Mars away from Trumpy.

Sorry I can't squeeze any clear cut Joy. Let's hope start to get talk of QE and Rates Cuts.

But as the FT says they may well already be factored in to the Markets.

Stand back ! The SP is around 2,865. It got upto 2,935 or so. It didn't really fall too far did it ?

Just got to watch what hits Mercury now. Trine to Jupiter. Inconjunctions to r.Saturn and r.Pluto. Inconjunct r.Neptune. Conjunct the Lead Balloon, and then a Home run into Vorgo but then combusted by a very Hot Sun Mars conjunction.

The latter a but Unknowable but could easily bring another 3% or 4% few days of Selling.

Um ?

Up we go in Relief ! ONLY to get knocked back down again.

Then Mercury and Venus are both Setting, and will swap positions there too.

That does matter ! It all fits well as generally many Speculators and Investors will be trying to get a Handle on things.

Basically what can Jupiter deliver ?

H

Well last Week played out pretty well exactly as The Stars said it would. However it was a pretty Wild ride wasn't it ?

But I wasn't surprised, but I was relieved to read that the Germans want more QE.

"The euro pared some losses after Der Spiegel reported Germany's right-left coalition government would be prepared to ditch its balanced budget rule and take on new debt to counter a possible recession. ... "

"The dollar strengthened while U.S. and European stocks surged on Friday amid growing expectations the European Central Bank will cut interest rates to stimulate the economy and after China said it plans to boost disposable income to spur consumption. "

In reality as soon as Jupiter had started moving forward it had engaged with r.Neptune.

So talk of QE and Rates Cuts should increase now till those two complete their square towards the end of Sept.

Then Jupiter continues on towards r.Pluto and should translate all that QE / Rate Cuts energy in that pretty powerful sextile.

That needs looking at further as r.Pluto will SD during the stages of the sextile.

I think Jupiter is weaker in aspect while direct. And r.Pluto slow ? Um ? Anyway I think the QE / Rate Cuts will have less of an effect. It is necessary to watch where the Capital is flowing. Certainly these last few Weeks should be studied. I notice that Bitcoin didn't enjoy the Volatility. Um ? People winding speculation ?

Is that a surprise ? I think while Jupiter's buoyancy tries to lift us I think we need to watch Mercury's journey till it passes the Asteriod of Fear, the Sun, then Venus and even Mars. It also forms inconjunctions with r.Saturn, and r.Pluto, and also to r.Neptune. It squares Jupiter.

Again is it surprising that with ONLY Jupiter to offer buoyancy, that Mercury/ Market Traders will be on a Trip !

Or they'll need to be to survive this Rocky Journey.

H

Well it was a "Hell" of a few Weeks, wasn't it ? !! But what were the Astrological Drivers to create such Selling ?

I think the Uranus square to the New Moon was important and perhaps that Leo was in play too. Mars in Leo.

Things are changing now that the Sun approaches Virgo. Mercury in Leo trine to Jupiter helpful but Jupiter direct is less powerful in aspect.

And Jupiter about squeeze passed r.Saturn too. That should help and further Chat about QE and Rate Cuts should appear.

Already the muttering from Germany ans talk of three more Rates Cuts in the US this year.

So we should have further Relief for the Main Markets but clearly what has happened recently isn't just forgotten.

And the Mars combustion, +VE, I feel may generate a lot of heat for Mercury, but before that it inconjunctions r.Saturn and r.Pluto.

The Week of the 2nd Sept looks Volatile, but r.Uranus will be in trine so perhaps NOT so bad.

Before then Venus has to pass Mars. But as that is over the middle of next Weekend perhaps the Markets won't be shaken by it.

It looks like Mercury's affliction by r.Saturn and r.Pluto is also at that Weekend.

Well the r.Pluto bit of it anyway. The r.Saturn part comes mid this Week ahead.

H

I think as usual The Stars suggest the reality on Earth.

There is now way that everything is smooth Sailing after the last few Weeks.

But Jupiter's move passed r.Saturn soon and then on towards r.Neptune and r.Pluto should mean QE and Rates Cuts and we can see the Timings of that.

The Sun is heating up Mars now and that lasts for many many Weeks. It won't go unnoticed.

And it is in the Detail Accounting/ Banking World that that will appear. And that is where People will be paying attention anyway just now.

Won't everybody be assessing where things go now ?

H

Vas,

2020 will bring Jupiter into Capricorn. Could this indicate solidarity and stability?

Technically, it will occur in 2019 in December. Jupiter in Cap has a bit of a history for recessions. https://astro-chologist.com/jupiter-in- ... al-crisis/

The biggest red flag to most is probably Saturn in mid Cap though:
http://www.stariq.com/Main/Articles/P0000463.HTM

1/ Bouncing around the low 2,900s now. +VE day today with Mercury trine Jupiter.

2/ Waiting now for Jupiter to dance with r.Neptune. It should be good as it peaks on the 21st Sept and we have the ECB on the 12th Sept, the Fed on the 18th Sept, and the BoJ and BoE on the 19th Sept meetings.

3/ But that'll be well passed Time and Drinks ONLY for the Well Connected. Loads of -VEs appearing.

4/ Mercury has slipped passed r.Saturn and does the same with r.Pluto over the weekend coming. Good News.

5/ Venus, meets Mars, the Sun meets Mars, but r.Uranus is in trine. That all may pass off OK. Good News. Venus Mars over the Weekend.

There isn't much Umph but equally NOT much Drag. We need to push up into the mid to high 2,900s to break this Resistance.

6/ The focus does change to Detail Orientation with the Sun entering Virgo. People will be assessing things with great care.

I'd feel Mars getting a shot from the Sun into early Sept could deliver much needed Yang. But where ? Worth checking your 11° Virgo and square to such Points ! Somebody might get a Rocket Booster !!

H

So the Sun crossing Trump's Ascendant and Venus and Mars into his 1st House. Venus crosses over Mars during the Weekend, and then the Sun tracks Mars till the 2nd Sept.

I feel it is a bit of a Buying Opportunity. Jupiter is beginning to bite into r.Neptune, and Pluto and will do to Uranus too.

r.Saturn is Out of the Game till late in September. We should begin to Rally.

Mercury cross the Asteriod of Fear next Week. That won't help us Find Our Feet, but I expect Jupiter to start delivering soon. We had been pushing up into the 2,930 hadn't we !!

H

So I'd imagine it was Venus dropping into Virgo and meeting Mars that caused the Selling.

Although we might continue a bit more early on Monday I'm hoping that Jupiter will begin to lift us.

He's working against Uranus's retro action and the separation of Neptune and Pluto.

I still feel we should move into the 3,000s again. Key dates now are the completion of the Jupiter r.Neptune square around the 20th Sept and then the Translation of that Energy to Pluto till the 12th Oct.

I'l be glad when Mercury has made it into Virgo, and I am interested to see what the Sun Mars conjunction brings.

That's a lot of Yang to be absorbed by 09°45' Virgo or around there. Something is going to Kick Off from that.

Unfortunately Mercury will then combust very late on the 4th Sept UKT. And will have been beaten up by Mars earlier in that Week.

Just more Technical -VEs to swim against. Poor Old Jupiter. The Mercury combustion is problematic as it is another Gear Change to the lower side.

Perhaps things will be Volatile till Wednesday the 4th Sept, when we might begin to get some Traction upwards.

Um ?

H

So Jupiter's direct motion has taken it passed r.Saturn and it is now activating The Trump "Wacky" Zone and does so till late Oct.

No offence Mr President. Trumpy will be less grounded now and less sober in mood. But his creativity will be flowing so we'll hear loads of "Good" Ideas.

I think this will be mostly +VE for the Markets, but with the odd Schizo Curved Ball thrown in.

Umph ? However we've got the Mercury combust then its Setting in the in the week of the 2nd Sept.

Further, the Tide is turning to the -VE with r.Uranus gaining speed and Neptune and Pluto separating.

Further, the all important Jupiter r.Pluto sextile may be a weak one as r.Pluto SDs soon before it.

It completes its SD on the 4th Oct so then the question is what sort of power does Pluto exert on Jupiter running into Oct ?

Hard Call. From experience I'd say to the weaker side of things unfortunately. But Jupiter also makes a 135° to r.Uranus around the 11th Oct.

So I feel The Party may still seem to be swinging upto then.

H

Mercury just crossing the Asteriod of Fear and heading into Virgo tomorrow. But closing in on the Sun.

A New Moon will form soon and it'll involve r.Uranus trining it at about 06°41' Virgo.

Mars is in trine to r.Uranus today. Um ? Things in the Melting Pot but I'd feel this might be the Bottom today and the US should begin to Rally a bit later.

Come On !

Fine Margins though just now until the Mercury combustion and escape from Mars has occurred. Another Bear experience probably.

But all the Time r.Uranus and Neptune separating from Pluto is dragging us Down.

The South Node now applying to slowing r.Saturn and they meet soon after r.Saturn has SD in late Sept.

Hard to know what it means but it has to add Tension somewhere.

Where's the talk of more QE ?

H

We can NOT escape from the fact that The Gates to Hell are opening. And that will accelerate once Saturn goes direct in late Sept. And the descent will continue till into January.

However, Jupiter might help us jump across the Abyss one last time. For a few months more that is. And next week let's try NOT to trip up on Mercury's combustion. Um ?

The first half of next week is potentially pretty problematic with Mercury approaching the Sun, but the Sun approaching Mars.

That's a lot of Heat. Does it mean a massive Mental Reset for poor Old Mercury and Traders with it ?

But a Reset can be +VE. Anyway watch out for late Monday thru till say Noon on Wednesday 4th Sept.

r.Uranus offers some "help" from the trine. Watch the News !

Is there anything "Dodgy" in the Pipeline for the first few days of next week especially later on Tuesday ? Certainly as Tuesday develops ?

Something BIZARRE may well happen as Tuesday 3rd Sept develops till Dawn on the 4th Sept Wednesday.

Probably from the Get Go in Europe on the Tuesday UKT.

On the Face of It I'd say some sort of Sell Off. Certainly worth taking some DAILY PUT Options to cover the Tuesday. And a Weekly as the combustion happens after hours in the USA.

TUESDAY 3rd SEPT.

I'd be surprised if something significant doesn't happen but that can cut both ways especially as r.Uranus's trine will have some +VE turbo affect.

SO STAND BY YOUR BEDS from Dawn on Tuesday 3rd Sept till Dawn on Wednesday 4th Sept UKT.

Keep you Ears Pealed for any News due then. Is September due to bring anything important ?

Weren't there Tariffs due ?
