Well I'm glad that the r.Mercury combustion has been completed. Things might just settle down a bit now.

Although the Fed is trying to calm the Markets I think we are into the Classic Frenzie phase.

Still an interesting week ahead with the Mars trine r.Jupiter, and the r.Mercury Venus cross, both around the 25th July.

Then the Sun trines r.Jupiter. Together that is all a bit of a mix and the r.Mercury Venus cross needs to be respected.

To some extend the Markets are untangling themselves. And I hope things will be clearer as Thursday develops.

Till then ? Um ?

H

OK so I did some reading. It seems that once r.Mercury has crossed Venus then things may be more Bullish.

Also once Mercury is direct.

Surely the Sun trine r.Jupiter has to be a signal of Excess, but Markets love that.

Trump's Men won't let the Markets fall so Rate Cuts have to be up the Barrel. How many more can there be before there ain't any left ?

Once Mars has passed away from r.Jupiter on the 25th July, it hits into r.Saturn, r.Neptune and then r.Pluto.

That has to point to conflict, and probably with Iran. But the Markets haven't been too worried about that as it pushes up Energy Stocks.

It is Judgement Call but there has to be Sabre Rattling and then probably some sort of Strike.

But by whom ? Iran or the USA ? Till the 4th Aug.

Whilst the Sun is making Hay with r.Jupiter till the 7th Aug.

So two themes there.

I won't be commenting more till these have passed as they aren't too clear, and we've got the Fed ruminating too.

But I think once Venus has crossed r.Mercury then I think that points to Investors feeling more content.

Just watch Tuesday into Wednesday as r.Mercury crossing Venus can be a Cat Fight.

I think the ECB is meeting then so that fits as more QE and Soothing Words have to come from that.

Then the Fed. Then the BoE.

Good Lord !!

Sun trine r.Jupiter ?

Excess ?

H

Mercury is retrograde at the moment and so is Jupiter and also Saturn.

Mars in leo is trining Jupiter and square Uranus.

Would be interesting to know how the big sector, companies perform as Mars is in Leo with a positive and negative aspect.

Sun will go into leo conjuct Mars and trine Jupiter! Should be positive.

Ok so Mars is forming an inconjunction with r.Pluto. Possibly translating light from r.Saturn. Or Heat.

Mars will soon start a turbulent run across Uranus. Loads of planets make turns in August.

But really it is trying to read Trumpy that is the question. I do feel he is more Grounded and even yesterday's threat against China seemed pretty measured.

But he is less likely to back track now though.

Mars is sextiling his Uranus, Node and Sun combo, and trining his Saros 129 Lunar Eclipse Point, South Node and Moon.

And energising his Mars, August 2017 Eclipse Point and Ascendant.

So he is up for things just now, but r.Saturn is blocking r.Jupiter out just now.

We'll get one more whacky phase out him yet.

But really you need to read the even bigger picture. He knows that if he picks a fight with China then in the end the Fed has to cut further.

NOT a great strategy but basically Trumpy has to be pulling the Levers or he ain't happy.

I think everybody is hoping and, probably scheming, that he ONLY has one term.

Let's see what Pluto and Saturn do when they pass back thru the Capricorn 20°s-25°s.

He probably desperately wants two because he doesn't want locked up.

So I think this is pretty dangerous situation developing or brewing with ONLY r.Jupiter just now, and then Jupiter and the Outer Planets, less Uranus, offering buoyancy and stability.

I'm interested to see how Uranus retro phase plays out. Also Pluto and Neptune will soon begin to take leave of each other. That usually takes up to three weeks to be felt as does Uranus's retro phase.

Let's watch Bitcoin too.

I think Jupiter's final run forward thru Sagittarius will hold the line till into October though.

One might say this Sell Off is due to r.Jupiter's slowing, and Saturn catching him up.

Let's watch for the moment that direct Jupiter pushes passed r.Saturn and heads for the Sunny Uplands for one last Time.

So there may be One Last Hurrah !!!!

H

PS People should be aware that r.Saturn is still applying the the South Node. I think this is a constant stress for many people.

Forcing people to face up to things. Something most won't do, and just get angry and frustrated in return.

OK So having thought a little longer some things come to mind.

1/ It was a New Moon. If you fall on a New Moon it hurts.

2/ r.Saturn is closing down r.Jupiter now. r.Jupiter had broken free from Saturn but that is over and remains problematic till after the 20th August.

I think we'll struggle to Bounce back till late August, and could easily be dragged lower.

Monitor Support Levels as they will come in handy later in the Year.

3/ Trumpy has t.r.Pluto stressing him and has for a while and will for a long time. He feels threatened.

t.Mars activated his n.Uranus and his n.Moon. They are in opposition to each other. That must be a fairy cwazy pair to have to deal with.

And they are intercepted. His Moon could be seen as his Protectionist Driver. And link to the Saros 129 Lunar Eclipse and intercepted he may well be acting on Instinct.

It'll be good when t.Mars has moved into Virgo.

But along comes the Sun behind and will do something similar.

So my very quick Analysis suggests that'll we'll be stuck around here on the back foot till after the 20th Aug.

I think thru over the Weekend.

4/ I'll add immediately that Venus is combusting. That isn't good. That is a slow burner loss of confidence in Bonds.

We may well have seen the Highs for this and next year just flash past our eyes.

H

Oowch !

Although I think we should power back towards a late Sept High, and FINAL Jumping Off Point, I think it'll be hard for a Bounce to take hold whilst Venus is going thru a very slow combustion, as it is now.

Further, I feel that r.Jupiter is cornered by r.Saturn now, and that continues till about the 20th Aug or so. The former till the 15th Aug or so.

The problem is that while we try to hold the Line till the Calvary arrive in the week of the 19th Aug some very very big -VE Slow Burners begin to bite.

And then the ground under Our Feet begins to weaken. Neptune from Pluto, Uranus retro.

I can ONLY think that Trumpy will come up with one last set of whack ideas too.

I imagine he is scratching his head just now going "What did I say ?". And so am I.

I think the recent Selling has been an over reaction and I can't really find any decent reason in The Stars.

Sometimes the Markets are ripe for a Correction-ette and I think that is what happened.

Were the Volumes low ? It is mid summer. People heading off on Holiday ? End of month.

I'd notice that Uranus in Taurus squared the New Moon in Leo. And that did point to something a bit bizarre, and that is what I think the last few days have been.

BIZARRE.

I'd imagine Volumes were low.

H

OK So I was wary of the Mars r.Saturn > r.Pluto inconjunction. Especially if Mars in Leo translated Heat from the first to the second.

It pointed to conflict but I expected that in the Straights of Hormuz and there was a seizure of a Ship by Iran.

And trouble is brewing there.

However, I think this sudden Selling was triggered more by Uranus making a reasonably tight square to the New Moon in Leo. And I think there is an Eclipse Point in there too.

For the coming New Moons Uranus will aspect all of them right into November.

I now think that the Cycle that is the combination of the Sun and Moon can itself be plotted like a planets movements.

And then it feeds into the DNA of the Solar System, and how it fits into the Universe.

So it is a Cycle in itself, just like Jupiter makes around the Zodiac. It is just hard to plot it and therefore follow it.

What happens now in the Main Markets ? Well I think Venus approaching the Sun is a downer, and those shaken by the these last few days will be searching for a Comfort Zone, which they won't find.

Also r.Jupiter is being squeezed by r.Saturn.

This can all change if Trump eases off, and sure enough he will, but how much blood will be spilt before that.

I think it was the completion of the Mars r.Pluto inconjunction late on Sunday that triggered things, and the Chinese dropped the peg on their Yuan.

I have bought up some Calls on the Main Markets with mid Sept strike dates.

And sometime we have to Bounce.

I think once Jupiter is free of r.Saturn on the 20th, and Venus has passed thru the Sun, and then the Outer Planets are crossed by Jupiter, we will get the Last Hurrah.

But will it be more of a Last Cough ?

H

Ok so we've had a bit of a Relief Rally.

Talk of a Trade Deal meeting in September.

"https://finance.yahoo.com/news/tech-lea ... 06734.html "

So that sorts of fits with my comments on Venus and Jupiter and the dates of the 15th Aug and 20th Aug as barriers till we get going up again.

I also like the fact that Uranus will make a trine to the New Moon in late August early Sept.

Venus combusting has to be watched but luckily r.Jupiter is offering some support by way of a trine.

When either Mercury or Venus combust we get a sort of Mental Breakdown for Traders or Investors, but if they receive soothing support then the Event can pass off reasonably calmly.

For me the trouble came from Mars in Leo translating from r.Saturn to r.Pluto, and the Uranus square to the Leo New Moon.

Leo is to do with Speculation.

H

NOT a lot to add. Worth watching The Chart Guys here

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n1kxEiFc4fs

We've been bouncing around and that relates to the Uranus square to the New Moon.

Venus combusting has to be the danger, as is r.Jupiter blocked by r.Saturn.

The danger is that Confidence burns out too now. And it is hard to recover that. So the Highs may have gone now.

Further Uranus will soon SR. I'm interested to see what that and Venus combusting brings.

All then will be left on Jupiter's direct motion. Can he deliver one Last Hurrah ?

Rather him than me though ?

H

Ok so with the Leo Sun trine very slow Sag r.Jupiter I'd expect a strong day and importantly Key Resistances being smashed.

The Moon meets r.JUpiter tomorrow in a trine from the Lunation too so that helps.

Next week ? I'm nervous as this late week Booster will have played out. And Venus applying to Sun and r.Jupiter's support to that weakening.

So I'd expect a bit of a Stall. Mercury then in Leo should be good even with the Uranus square to dance around.

I looked ahead to the late August Lunations and that looks pretty powerful even if it just squeezes in between a weak Venus and a weakening Mercury.

But with Uranus retro from next week then I'm afraid backsliding is very possible.

Come On Jupiter ! Come On !!!!!

Can we really walk away from this week's and last week's Shocks as if nothing happened ?

I don't think so. Let's hope we can get into the 3,000 again even if briefly.

H

I wrote this earlier in an email

"1/ Two and a quarter Big -VEs will quietly move into play now over the last weeks of August and onwards after that

a/ Uranus retro
b/ Neptune separating from Pluto
(c/ Venus combusts next week and that is another longer term turn to the -VE.)

And you can't swim against those three.

The Gates to Hell will begin to open, getting wider and wider open into early 2020.

2/ Set against that is Jupiter, God of Confidence, and Over - Confidence, and he starts his final run across the Outer Planets any day now.

He pushes past r.Saturn in the next 10 days and then makes his break !!

Go On My Son !!

I think we will Rally thru late Summer JUST but there will be a Stalling feel to it. An Autumnal feel to it all.

Definitely a case of Selling any Bounces with a longer term Short view thru till late Dec.

The SP bounced back into the 2,900s. It has settled above a Key Support Level and let's hope that holds into next week.

3/ Interestingly Uranus makes aspects to all the New Moons till even late March next year.

THIS VERY UNUSUAL and suggests Revolution is in the Air.

Basically we have had a Correction and the Markets have settled at a more sensible Level.

So in reality it all starts again next week. But don't expect too much Rocket Fuel to be ignited now."

We'll see if I am right or NOT.

4/ You need to note that although Jupiter is soon to be direct it has less influence on the filling Moons now.

So it has swapped a subtle influence for a more clear Role.

5/ We can watch it play out with r.Neptune and r.Pluto, and see how Saturn plays out with r.Neptune. Jupiter also has a Wee dance with r.Uranus.

Really it is about how much "Umph" Jupiter direct can deliver. The Jupiter Pluto sextile is a better one.

Jupiter r.Neptune confuses massively but may well deliver massive QE again. Even though Jupiter will translate that on to r.Pluto, the problem being is that Jupiter collapses as the Autumn progresses.

The Road will run out ....

I'm definitely Selling Bounces now and looking for Short Positions that strike late December.

Gold may stall or fall back a little but Gold-ies tend to sniff out the loss of Umph that should become an Undercurrent now.

For me it takes about three weeks for Uranus's retro action, and Neptune's separation from Pluto to be exposed. And felt.

That'll be just the moment Jupiter passes away from r.Saturn !! "

We are heading into Every Man and Woman for Themselves now ....

It is Last Orders .....

Even Time !!

I was mulling over whether Jupiter's direct motion in the coming weeks and months will be enough to offset any Undercurrent Drag from r.Uranus. Also Venus combustion and then Setting.

What stuck out was Jupiter's square to r.Neptune then sextile to r.Pluto. The former points to more QE and is exact nearly exactly at the next FOMC Meeting till in mid Sept.

And the sextile to Pluto peaks mid Oct. And then Jupiter heads towards Capricorn.

I wonder now whether in fact Jupiter will struggle to keep things afloat and therefore we'll need more QE.

Also Trump's Astro suggests he'll enter another whacky phase as Jupiter speeds passed r.Saturn.

He does seem to have realised that picking a fight with China makes Rate Cuts more likely.

It does suggest a late August till mid Oct/ 17th Oct Cheap Money surge-ette. I wonder if till the 17th Aug we stumble ?
