Sometimes it seems like there is this omniscient Clock Setter in the heavens.
Throughout the first half of this year, this column continuously stated that a high in the stock market was ideally due between May 2 and July 22, based on the historical correlation of the Jupiter’s transit through the zodiac U.S. equity prices. These studies, going back to the 1870’s, yielded a very high correlation to long-term stock market peaks when Jupiter was within 7° of the Aries-Taurus border, known as a “cusp” in the study of astrology. It is also known as an “ingress” when a planet passes from one sign to another. In this case, the stock market peak occurs when Jupiter is within 7° of its ingress into Taurus.
This column also pointed out that Jupiter would turn retrograde and return back to 0-7° of Taurus from October 7, 2011 through March 7, 2012. At the time, I commented that either one of these time bands could be the crest of the 4-year cycle: either May 2-July 22, 2011, or October 7, 20-11-March 7, 2012, based on the history of Jupiter’s transit through this sector of the heavens.
Sure enough, the U.S. stock market (as measured by the Dow Joes Industrial Average) made its high of the year at 12,876 on May 2. It made a double and triple top around 12,750 on July 7 and July 21. From there, the DJIA fell nearly 20% to a low just two weeks ago, on October 4, 2011, at 10,405, just three days before the second time band for a possible 4-year cycle crest began. Then, just like clockwork, the DJIA started its next big rally into October 7-March 7. On Friday, the DJIA closed above 11,800 for the first time since the first week of August.
Just two weeks ago everyone was bearish. Now many analysts are forecasting a move to a new yearly high, and some even to a new all-time high. Geocosmics could support either argument, for the Jupiter transit only states that between October 7 and March 7 there will be another important crest. It may or may not take out the high of May 2, 2011. In the field of Financial Astrology, it doesn’t matter. It only matters that it makes another long-term cycle crest in this time band, whether it is the crest of a 15.5-month cycle, or the crest of the greater 4-year cycle, is indeterminable at this time via Financial Astrology. A 15.5-month cycle crest does not have to be a higher than the 12,876 high of May 2. A 4-year cycle crest can be. But either way, Financial Astrology strongly suggests that a bear market into 2014-2015 is likely to resume.
From our perspective, this is where the study of cycles and technical analysis will come in handy. Combined with knowledge of chart patterns within this new 15.5-month cycle will help us to determine when and what price the next big turn will commence, per the rules laid down in Volume 5 of “The Ultimate Book on Stock Market Timing: Technical Analysis and Price Targets.” For now, however, all our subscription services – from the MMA Cycles monthly report, to the position and aggressive traders of the weekly and daily reports - are all long from at least the lows of last Tuesday, and some before then. And some of the more aggressive traders will be taking profits very shortly. After all, the crest of this new 15.5-month cycle can occur at any time between October 7, 2011 and March 7, 2012, according to the studies of Financial Astrology. That is why this subject gives that “edge that all traders seek.”
