ANOTHER GRAIN OF SALT

Financial Astrology is on track to coincide with another remarkable turning point in the stock indices of the world. As the 19-month cycle of Venus retrograde takes effect on Friday, March 6, several of the world’s leading indices are falling to multi-year lows. As stated last week, “In other words, the possibility of a sharp decline in stock indices is very high this week. Like the terrorist alert system, let’s say stock markets are now on “red alert.” In fact, many indices are now down the expected 50-90% off their all-time highs, representing the largest percentage decline since the Great Depression of the 1930’s.

And yet so many financial experts continue to argue that this market – this economic downturn – is nothing like the 1930’s. Why was this crisis expected via the study of Financial Astrology? Because for the first time since 1929-1934, Saturn, Uranus, and Pluto are entering into a T-square formation. This rare, celestial pattern will take place in the early degrees of Cardinal Signs (Aries, Libra, and Capricorn), and hence it is referred to as the “Cardinal Climax.” This pattern officially began in 2008 when Pluto entered Capricorn, and Saturn-Uranus entered into their opposition to one another. The current economic crisis and financial market “panic” arguably commenced in 2008 as well, under the full moon of September 15. We will be visiting that sector of the sky with another full moon again this week, on March 10 (see Short-term Geocosmics).

In Europe, the Netherlands AEX fell to 198.22 on Friday, March 6, its lowest level since July 1995. It is now down 71.8% from its all-time high of 703 in September 2000. London’s FTSE index was down to 3492 on Friday, its lowest level since the commencement of the Iraqi War in March 2003. It is now down 48.3% from its all-time high of July 2007. Germany’s DAX index fell to 3638 on Friday, a loss of 55.4% from its all-time high of 8151, also in July 2007. The Swiss SMI Index fell to 4311 on Friday, its lowest level since April 2003, and down 54.8% from its all-time high of 9548 in June 2007. None of these indices closed very well.

In Asia and the Far East, it wasn’t quite so bad. India’s Nifty Index, Japan’s Nikkei, and the Hang Seng of Hong Kong all fell into Friday, but still remain above their highs of last October. Only in Australia did the stock index break to a new multi-year low, as the All Ordinaries index dropped to 3091 on Friday, its lowest level since July 2003. It is now down 54.5% from its all-time high of 6795 on October 31, 2007.

In the Americas, the Bovespa of Brazil and Merval of Argentina both held well above their lows of October. But the Dow Jones fell to its lowest level since April 1997, while the NASDAQ Composite to its lowest level since October 2002. In the case of the DJIA, it is now down over 54% since its all-time high of 14,198 in October 2007. The previous record decline since the Great Depression was 46.6%, from January 1973 through the 36-year cycle bottom in December 1974. This confirms that a cycle bigger than the 36-year one is now in process (i.e. the 72- and/or 90-year cycles), which we will discuss in more detail in this week’s monthly “SOS Stock Market Cycles” report.

In other markets, we note that Crude Oil is on the verge of breaking out to the upside of a “wedge formation” pattern (i.e. above 45.00). This could be explosive, taking prices well above 60.00 by the end of summer. Or it could be short-lived, lasting less than 2 weeks, and followed by a plunge to new multi-year lows, under 30.00 as Jupiter approaches its 14-year cyclical conjunction to Neptune, May-July 2009. Gold dropped to 900 last week, which was our minimum target for a corrective decline off the 1007 high of two weeks ago. Silver fell 200 points off its high of the prior week too, all consistent with the phasing of their primary cycle, and also with Venus turning retrograde now.

We have arrived. Venus enters its retrograde motion March 6 through April 17. As stated before, “This is a Level One signature as reported in Volume 3 of our Stock Market Timing series (“Geocosmic Correlations to Trading Cycles”). In fact, it is one of the most powerful and consistent correlations to primary or greater cycles that we know of. In 78% of the instances studied, such a cycle has culminated within 12 trading days.” What is most interesting to astrologers is that every 8 years, Venus turns retrograde in nearly the same degrees of the zodiac. This year it turns retrograde on March 6 at 14 degrees of Aries. In 2001, it turned retrograde on March 9 at 17 degrees of Aries. Back then, the market plunged to a primary cycle trough nine trading days later on March 22. It’s possible we could see a similar pattern this time, for the Sun is also making an important “translation” to the forthcoming Cardinal Climax planets of Saturn, Uranus, and Pluto, March 8-23. In the past year, such a translation has frequently (but not always) coincided with a sharp sell-off in stock indices.

Whether the stock markets bottom right here, as Venus goes retrograde, or they suffer another plunge in the next two weeks, may relate to the transit of Mars. On March 6, Mars is at 23 degrees of Aquarius, the same position as Pluto occupies in the chart of the New York Stock Exchange chart, founded May 17, 1792. Mercury in that same chart is at 23 Taurus, so transiting Mars is hitting the square of Mercury-Pluto in the NYSE chart. Oftentimes that coincides with the end of a sharp sell off. Sometimes it lasts a little longer until Mars makes the square to the NYSE Sun at 27 Taurus, which takes place on March 11, the day after the very important full moon. In fact, the full moon is March 11 in most of the world.

This section will be brief this week because we wanted to focus on the shorter-term picture, given that we are now in the strongest geocosmic time band of this New Year so far (March 4-12). Oh, it is still the season of Pisces, when dreams of nirvana and hell run concurrent in the public consciousness, depending on whether you are for or against Obama’s plans for rescuing the Universe of America by stimulus and spending programs that increase the Federal deficit to its highest level ever. In truth, no one knows what the outcome will be, but nearly every commentator on TV has a strong opinion that he/she thinks is the truth. With Jupiter and Neptune coming together in Aquarius, I believe the public will continue to support Obama’s efforts, and maybe even until Saturn squares Pluto, November 2009-August 2010. This would seem to coincide with an almost entirely opposite shift in public opinion. Thus he seems to be on track by using as much of his “political capital” as necessary right now while the majority of the public supports him. Now is the time when he can actually put something into effect. But the questions will remain: are the programs now being put into effect going to work, or will they explode and lead to an even deeper crisis? We will probably know the answer under Saturn square Pluto, and certainly by the time Uranus squares Pluto in 2012-2015. The first square (waning) is the pain of knowing that something is ending. We have to accept and let it go (i.e. a way of life we have known). The second is a waxing square, and represents the pain of birthing something new. There is hope of a new day, a new way of life.
