Pretty exciting moves today on the Main Indices. Mars and Jupiter combining and closing in on Pluto.

Monday and Tuesday has Venus's combustion and Pluto is involved there, but that means that what ever that brings is mitigated by the sextile from Pluto.

Most probably the Sun and Venus are completing a translation too. I'd imagine we'll march through early next week and even Mercury crossing Saturn shouldn't be too bad.

But by then ONLY Jupiter's move towards Pluto is providing buoyancy. And I do feel from 04.15hrs UKT Jan 16th onwards till say 19th Mar that we'll have a Downside.

Why ? Astrologically it is clear. Cycles that have moved us up aren't in play. On Earth ? Maybe bad weather continues or this Bannan / Trump conflict trundles on.

Trying to understand we need to look at Uranus ? A sudden shocking story ? Disruptive. We need to have a look at Trump's Chart or one for the new Administration signed in on the 21st Jan this year ?

Uranus has been SD for the passed few days and that is said to increase its power. Bannen was fired on the day of the Eclipse which Uranus had a big hand in.

At a very very close look it has to be to do with Uranus. But apart from the engagement far off with the Eclipse Point of the 21st Aug nothing really jumps out. Or does it ?

You've got a near 150° to Trumps IC. Just an addition 1 minute of time to Trump's birth chart or a different house system, would make that an exact inconjunction to the IC. Also a 30° to the MC.

You tell me ? Bannan has certainly gone for the Trump Inner Workings.

Um ?

H

PS Uranus is now moving in on square to Trump's Venus or comfort zone. Venus rules is MC, and 3rd so that is all plenty of "public" stuff to have rattled.

Who'd have thought it ?

Getting pretty exciting now.

Basically this week and next week I feel will start with an Upside till early on the Wednesday 10th Jan and Tuesday 16th Jan respectively and then fall away as the week progresses further.

Hard to call this. Even harder to explain why.

1/ The big things to watch is Mars making sextiles with Pluto, Sun and then Venus till Wednesday 10th Jan 8am UKT. Upside

2/ My feeling is that any trouble from the Venus, Sun, Pluto conjunctions will be held back a bit by Mars's sextile.

I'd think a WEEKLY SHORT position on the Main Indices would win if placed very late on the 9th Jan UKT.

3/ Then the week after I think the weekend of the 13th Jan, the next big thing, will be Jupiter's sextile and translation of light to building an Upside while the Markets are closed. A Bounce back !!

Merkel's new Government ? Trump says some sensible things and even the Debt Ceiling is raised. All before 04.15hrs on the 16th Jan UKT.


I've little doubt of the shape of the curve from now on but less sure of the gradient. Basically a double humped camel, as we call it in the Technical Chart Analysts World.

4/ But the remainder of the week after the 16th Jan early UKT won't see a Bounce back.

I think we could see a decent Sell Off on the 16th Jan, for a few months and a bit of a Sell off on the 10th Jan, for a few days.

My Analysis is based solely on The Stars, but I note that late on the 17th Jan UKT Trump's IC is again struck, and then Mars ignites Uranus soon after near to his IC.

He's heading for another Sucker Punch. And that is in a week when he'll already feel the whole World is against him.

As to my timing I divided my Liquidity into three. A third went SHORT on the SP 500 early last week - Owch - the next third very early on the 10th Jan. Or late on the 9th. Then the last third early on the 16th Jan.

Using those times I'd say SHORT Option positions DAILY, WEEKLY, Jan 18th, and Feb 18th expiry/ strike dates all look juicy.

I mean from late on the 9th Jan UKT a WEEKLY SHORT looks good. Early on, the 10th Jan a Daily SHORT. Add an 18th Jan MONTHLY too*

Then early on the 16th Jan UKT Jan 18th MONTHLY, WEEKLY, and Feb 18th MONTHLY look juicy.

*But beware if Trumpy decides to close the US Government then current juicy prices may begin to evaporate.

H

So one Buoyancy Aide or +VE Balloon keeping the Rally afloat, and that lasts till into 16th Jan UKT.

Running in behind it we have Mars forming a pretty -VE energy with Uranus late on the 17th Jan UKT.

I think we might see some Selling for the rest of this week, then a Bounce early next week, then some Heavy Selling in the Main Indices.

I don't see much up lift between the 16th Jan and say the 19th Mar.

H

PS Although Uranus is heading for Taurus which I think will be -VE, it has to trine the 21st Aug Eclipse Point, which should be +VE.

So that is an Unknown. But I think it tends to mean that Trumpy will start trying more and more erratic things. NOT all bad.

The Power "Behind the Scenes" driving the 2018 Upside thread ....

Astro is clear that strong "lubricating" forces, pro-Business forces, are at work behind the scenes (on and off thru 2018), and we hear today that Bannan has been forced out of BrightBart due to Trump friendly Investor actions.

I think they are right to do that as this Book really has hit Trump hard. His whole Administration is a Laughing Stock, certainly in my eyes now. Previously I felt he had pulled off a stroke of inexplicable Genius during his Election. Inexplicable Vision.

And I'm expecting further very -VE revelations next week too. Anybody getting a sniff of what that might be?

My post 04:15hrs UKT Tuesday 16th Jan DOWNSIDE thread cannot kick in till this sort of thing has played out Trump's work.

The MSM never fully explained how suddenly Trump was able to get this Tax Reforms thru. Who put the squeeze on who ?

Further, I think something similar is going on in Germany, to force a Coalition Government.

The Year will be one of Two Themes, but whereas we've started with the Pro-Business strand doing well, we'll soon experience 10 weeks of the Deterioration strand surfacing.

H

Paying attention today ? Yesterday and over night ?

Venus and the Sun crossed over Pluto. Then Venus crossed over the Sun.

That's a right old mix up of energies for Venus. First all it was burnt alive by the Sun, and then any energy left in it was sucked out by Pluto.

Something like that.

Venus tends to be more related to those trying to store Wealth, like in Government Bonds, and China issued some deathly news today or last night.

They may no longer buy up US Government Bonds or Debt.

From what I understand China is a major owner of this Paper.

But also that people warn that if they reject it then the Billions or Trillions they already own because less valuable.

But I certainly see this as a shot across the bows of the USA from China for some reason.

Don't invade North Korea ?

H

Someone else is reading The Runes targeting a Feb low point....

* A position adjustment by an unnamed trader dubbed the "VIX elephant," who for months has been prepared for a stock market slump, boosted VIX options volume to 2nd highest ever on Weds

* The trader bought 235k Jan 17th 12 puts while selling 235k Jan 17th 15 - 25, 1X2, call spreads to close a position opened on Dec 1 [nL1N1O11VT]

* The trader also opened a new position by selling 235k Feb 14th 12 puts while buying 235k Feb 15 - 25, 1X2 call spreads; new position offers a max payout if VIX is at 25 on Feb 14

* Weds adjustment marks a change in trader's pattern with a switch from 3-month options, rolling after 2 months to a 1-month cycle, says Pravit Chintawongvanich, head of derivatives strategy at Macro Risk Advisors

H

I always felt this translation from Neptune to Pluto would give strong Uplift.

At the US close tonight it is ONLY 0°21' from exact. On Sunday night late something like 0°07' from exact. Exact at around 04:15hrs Tuesday UKT.

So the last bit of buoyancy may well be in Asia on Monday morning, spill into Europe.

Merkel's new Government should ride this Wave when it comes.

I think next week will be an exact example of how a good situation can turn -VE over a few hours.

H

So we are into the last stretch of the Rally.

From this Tuesday to say the 19th March I see a Downside.

I see Jupiter continuing towards Uranus till late Feb.

If that went to completion that'd be a dangerously Euphoric +VE.

Many people are saying to me the Rally has to continue because the Economic Data in the USA is so so good.

And the Tax Reforms will kick in in early Summer.

Well this is about reading The Stars NOT the Financial Pages.

So let's see what comes after 04:15hrs UKT this Tuesday the 16th Jan.

After which I'm signing off till mid March.

H

PS Please note that the Mega Trader who bets $MM on the VIX has closed his range targeting the next month as extremely Risky.

He's even bet that the VIX should rise above 25. It is now around 12.50 or less.

The problem with the VIX is that with so much money and Tax Cuts sloshing around we are unlikely to have a Recession.

A Heavy Sell Yes !! Recession No !!

So I'm calling it slightly less -VE. See the bottom.

1/ Carillion might go bust on Monday ? Ooooowch ? Yikkes . Mein Gott ?

Last week Venus died in the fires of the Sun, and then had remaining Life sucked out of by Pluto's fangs.

Venus relates to longer term Investors. People who tend to be very Risk Adverse.

We've entered a more Risk Adverse period now for much of this year. Till November in fact.

Also Saturn is in Capricorn and that is Sobriety too.

Could some of them be calling in the Loans ?

2/ I read a Professional Judgement for 2018. She agrees that it all begins to get hairy from the 16th Jan.

3/ I HAVE TO SAY AGAIN THAT ONCE JUPITER SEPARATES FROM PLUTO ON TUESDAY, it continues on towards Uranus in 150°.

If it was to complete that journey it'd be like a Euphoric Utopian Home run. It gets to 2°45' from around 4°30'.

I think some clever person could use those figures to calculate the energy involved.

It doesn't even get half way there ??

Set aside my ideas of Heavy Selling from Tuesday next week, my feelings are that People are going to be disappointed with the Earnings Season.

For me how can a company like Carillion be about to go bust ?

https://uk.reuters.com/article/uk-caril ... KKBN1F20HC

Philip Green's the Chairman ??

I'D SAY WE ARE IN "POTENTIAL" Downside Territory from 04:15hrs Tuesday 16th Jan till the 19th March.

Further, I can't believe that the new German Government won't be formed until late March at the earliest. ??

We don't need much now to knock Investors back now.

H

Well Folks,

So for a while I've said that the last bit of buoyancy for this Rally ends at 04:14hrs UKT on Tuesday 16th Jan.

The -VE of Mars Uranus 150° should be testing. Can we say Mars in translating light from Jupiter.

An Unknowable. But I'd say Mars smashes into Uranus at great speed late on the 17th Jan UKT.

And right under Trump's IC too.

Something very very -VE should happen on the 18th Jan. Will we have suddenly gone from "Everything is just fine to Oooops" in a few days ?

Who saw Carillion coming ? Who saw that ? Is it another of these "It all went T's Up after Carillion went bust?" scenarios ?

Who saw it ?

Further, that as we are dealing with Cycles, what has gone up has to come down, and we are into that Zone till say the 19th Mar.

Luckily it is a holiday in the US so trading should be light tomorrow but equally that can allow a sharp move.

Timing is hard. I'll try to wait till after the US close to place my last SHORT Main Indices Options.

EU Stokks 50 ?

And suddenly we hear rumours about China NOT buying US Debt. Carillion are in trouble ? Will the US Debt Ceiling be raised this week ?

Now although I ONLY do Star Gazing naturally it is hard NOT to ponder what is written in the Financial Pages.

For example is it TOTALLY ridiculous to say we'll get a Sell Off now over the next 9 weeks ? People tell me about the US Tax Reforms etc ......

The Stars do show a Trail ahead for the Utopians, but it isn't consummated. It falls short and disappoints. Jupiter Uranus.

I've warned that three really big -VEs Cycles are beginning to bite. Harry Dent agrees too.

1/ Had a bit of a false dawn but Sobriety is now a theme in Government. Expect Rate hikes.

2/ The next big one has to bite by Spring 2019. I'd say it'll be absolutely clear by Oct 2018. And I think people will be muttering about it from this Spring onwards.

3/ There is an even bigger -VE and that could bite as soon as late this February. If NOT then it'll be in place by 2023, as 1/ and 2/ domino into it.


NONE OF THE ABOVE LOOKS likely just now does it. Except there is a lot of anger around and we can expect Trump to be a Lame Duck by mid November.

I think if May presses ahead with BREXIT without a Second Referendum then there could be Revolution.

Merkel's leaving it very late too. 6 months without German Leadership in Europe ?

What happens if Trump walks away and leaves Pence in power ?

H

PS Just pointing out how things can change ..

https://uk.yahoo.com/finance/news/apos- ... 48549.html

Well We'll see how it all plays out but clearly it is a Warning Shot at least.

Rocko

While generally you may well be right about the end of the bull, your comment "Who saw Carillion coming?" Isn't a good example. People in the sector have known for over a year and there had already been objections in 2017 to the government giving it new contracts when its financial state was perilous

Your comments re US debt however are an excellent parallel
