An Astrological Trip Around the New Moon in Capricorn Chart

Astrological Investing New Moon forecasts show general trends and financial outlook for the month. The New Moon in Capricorn, 2014 - Chart from the point of view of Wall Street and the NYSE.

HAPPY NEW YEAR - 2014!

Thank you all for your support in 2013.  I wish you all a very prosperous and happy New Year.

The New Moon in Capricorn, January 1, 2014 - Chart from the point of view of Wall Street and the NYSE.

Happy New Year!
Read my article, The Winter Solstice 2013  The beginning of the astrological year is when the Sun enters the zodiac sign of Aries, in March of 2014; however financial astrologers place great emphasis on the importance of the Capricorn ingress in respect to the financial year ahead.

An Astrological Trip Around the New Moon in Capricorn Chart

New Moons are typically a time of hope and optimism - and a new Moon on the day we celebrate a New Year is especially filled with excitement and great expectations of a Happy (and better!) New Year. 

Jupiter rules the New Moon chart and brings a sense of optimism regardless of the hard aspects in the chart - And Jupiter in the seventh house is very beneficial for foreign affairs and foreign trade.

New Moons are typically a time when the market is up regardless of the trend. (read The Moods of the Moon - Trading the Mood Swings of the Monthly Lunar Cycle, by Randall Ashbourne)

Unfortunately the Winter Solstice chart doesn't promise much in the way of seeing the light at the end of the tunnel, but along with the late December Santa Claus rally, we have much optimism provided by Jupiter in this New Moon chart.

The New Moon (Sun/ Moon) conjunct Pluto and Mercury in the first house
The New Moon always brings the matters of the house it resides in to the forefront. The first house represents the health of the market and the general condition of prosperity felt by the people. The Sun and Moon conjunct Pluto and Mercury is powerful.

The Sun and Moon are always strong in the first house, however, difficult aspects, unfortunately do act according to their nature. The New Moon is somewhat weakened by the T-square involving Mars, Pluto, and Uranus, and there exists an anxious, unsettled feeling of uncertainty among the general population.

Yes, we have another season highly influenced by the Uranus square Pluto aspect, and this new Moon chart is highly charged by the planet Mars involved in a separating T-square, so we will see volatility in the market ... but Pluto in the first house will act very powerfully.

Pluto in the first house in a chart read for the NYSE, represents the power of shareholders and the general state of affairs in the market.

According to Raymond Merriman, Pluto in Capricorn, so far, has acted out as "the largest financial markets intervention by any government in world history."

So, with Pluto in the first house conjunct the New Moon, even with a T-square, we can expect that the Fed will continue to intervene somehow, resulting in a continuing boost to the stock market...

The Winter Solstice, 2013

Chart for Washington, D.C. USA
The first day of winter in the Northern hemisphere
*It is the Summer Solstice in the Southern hemisphere

Winter Solstice - 2013 December 21, 2013
 12:11 P.M. EST Washington, D.C.

The energy of the Winter Solstice Chart provides the background from which the next three months work within.

Well, the world didn't come to end when the Myan Calendar ended last December 21, and here we are now, near the end of 2013, at yet another winter solstice in the Northern hemisphere. (It is the Summer Solstice in the Southern hemisphere).

And, following the New Moon in Sagittarius, (to my surprise!) it appeared that the Grinch just might steal Christmas! But stocks finally experienced a Santa Claus rally this week. And now as we head toward the end of 2013, the Capricorn New Moon and New Year 2014, I wish all who celebrate the holidays a very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. And Happy Solstice!

In the chart above, the 2013 Capricorn ingress for Washington D.C., the Sun is in the ninth house conjunct the Capricorn mid-heaven. Whenever a planet is conjunct an angle it has considerably more strength and influence, and because it straddles the cusp of two houses it influences issues represented by both houses.

The Solstice Sun conjunct the mid-heaven from the ninth house should bode very well for the Government, and the President in particular, however, one must take into consideration the condition of the Sun in Capricorn's ruler, Saturn.   

Saturn is square the Leo Moon from the eighth house. This aspect diminishes the positive influence the Sun might have in either house, although there is opportunity for good-will indicated by the sextile to the Sun from Neptune in the twelfth house.

Aries is rising and the chart's ruler, Mars, is found in the seventh house in Libra.  Both by sign and by house, Mars is not in good condition to assert his energy naturally this winter season.  Libra and the seventh house are opposite the sign of Aries and its natural house (the 1st house) which makes Mars less inclined to act decisively with a single-minded focus that makes Mars energy is known for and is so effective when acting positively.

Additionally, Mars is adversely aspected by an opposition to Uranus from the first house - This is a problematic placement for the Aries Mars! Unfortunate, difficult, and even explosively dangerous situations can arise when Mars energy is challenged by Uranus.   H.S. Green states in his book, Mundane Astrology: The Astrology of Nations and States."the sign occupied by Mars may show where the trouble comes from."  In this case it would be trouble with U.S. diplomatic relationships.

Happy Solstice ... and see you in 2014

Randall Ashbourne, an associate of Astrological Investing, posts a weekly market report on his web site, theidiotandthemoon.com The following is this weekend's Eye of RA report: Week beginning December 16, 2013

Stonehenge on the Winter Solstice

Pollyanna - the SP500 - topped out last Monday with a fairly precise hit of one of the important planetary lines we looked at last weekend.

However, the Time factor was off ... and that means we can't be sure this is an intermediate breakdown.

We'll return to the relevant chart in a moment.

This weekend will be the last Eye of Ra report for the year. I need now to shift my mental focus away from the current action and concentrate for a couple of weeks on what 2014 is likely to bring.

Astrologically, the coming week brings the Full Moon on Tuesday (NY time), the same day Uranus turns direct. Next weekend, Venus will turn Retrograde and the Sun enters Capricorn.

Neither the Venus nor Uranus change of direction has a reliable track record of turning markets in any particular direction.

And, in any case, everyone has their eye on what the US Fed will do this week.

Thank you for your company during the year and I wish you all the best during the holiday season.

Forecast 2014 should be ready the first week of January.

Pollyanna and the Nasdaq were the last of the major world indices to top out ...

The DJI and the DAX made their Highs on November 29; the CAC 40 peaked on November 7; the FTSE on October 30; and the ASX200 on October 28.

Last weekend, I indicated the SP500 had potential breakout or breakdown levels associated with a couple of important trines ... Mercury and Uranus or Jupiter and Saturn.

Jupiter/Saturn had the highest price level to watch - $1811.63. The index peaked on Monday at $1811.52 - close enough to a double-top with its November 29 peak.

I also indicated last weekend that breakdown through the lower price levels was likely to trigger strong, further correction. But the break had to happen on the day the aspects were exact. And that part didn't happen.

Compounding the problem of predicting the short-term direction into year's end is the fact that other indices have been in real correction mode for weeks.

The FTSE, for example, has lost almost 50% of the rally which started in June.

 

The ASX 200, below, has lost 50% of the rally ... though it had a little bounce from that level on Friday.

And the Pollyanna index has lost very little.

For the next couple of weeks, the trading volumes are likely to decline markedly. We can't rule out a bounce ... because a lot of the non-Wall Street indices have reached relatively strong support levels.

There'll also be a tendency for the big fund managers to want to end the year on a high note. And Benign Ben is nearing the end of his term and one suspects doesn't want to see it all come to an end with a sharp drop in the market he has taken to new highs.

But, what happens when Ben waves bye-bye?

And that's a topic for another year!

Price levels for breakout or breakdown

Randall Ashbourne, an associate of Astrological Investing, posts a weekly market report on his web site, theidiotandthemoon.com The following is this weekend's Eye of RA report: Week beginning December 9, 2013

Wall Street in Santa mode?

We have a couple of significant astrological transits this week which could help determine whether the Wall Street rally goes into Santa mode.

On Tuesday, Mercury trines Uranus and on Thursday, Jupiter makes a trine to Saturn.

They're particularly significant for Pollyanna, the SP500, because the index has been range-bound within those planetary barriers for the past three weeks.

I'll show the relevant chart and the key price levels to watch on Tuesday and Thursday in the main body of this weekend's edition.

A trine represents an easy flow of energy. Effectively, the impact is the rapid removal of obstacles. And that's why we may well see breakout ... or breakdown ... this week.

Of the two, it's the Jupiter/Saturn aspect which is the more important because these two are regarded as the business planets. The trine, which is in effect for several months, suggests a period of steady and sustained expansion, which may be why we're seeing some better economic data.

But trines can represent a high point in the cycle, when the "easy flow" of energy really translates as "it doesn't get any better than this".

That's why it'll be important to monitor the price levels on Tuesday and Thursday to see how the 500 reacts.

Our first chart this weekend shows Mercury and Uranus price levels (pink and yellow) and the Jupiter/Saturn levels (dark blue and light blue).

Pollyanna's prices crept into this high-intensity zone three weeks ago and has been testing the barriers. That's why I think we could see a breakout, or a breakdown, this week.

If the index is going higher, it should decisively clear 1808.57 on Tuesday ... as well as 1811.63 on Thursday. If the index hits those prices, pretty much precisely, on those days and begins to rapidly back away from them, it'll be another warning sign.

But we also need to watch the downside levels ... 1791.32 on Tuesday and 1788.27 on Thursday. A decisive Close below those levels is likely to signal strong, further correction.

Most major world indices have been in a significant correction mode for several weeks. It is largely only Wall Street and Germany which have been hitting all-time Highs.

Pollyanna's drop last week bounced again from the red line parallel of the rally channel the index launched into a year ago.

Below is a close-up view of that chart. Negative divergence continues to build in the Big Bird oscillator, which hasn't recorded a new peak since October.

Anyway, the Mercury-Uranus and Jupiter-Saturn price levels are likely to provide the key to the next intermediate-term move.

Last weekend's "potential for a golden bounce" died virtually immediately when the midnight cowboys did another paper gold dump.

There is all sorts of speculation about exactly who is behind these moves. Most experienced players believe it's a central bank game, especially since some of those banks are now raising the spectre of charging people to keep money in savings accounts, rather than paying interest to depositors.

We're entering a new and dangerous phase of the Uranus/Pluto square, especially with Uranus due to go into Direct motion again on December 17.

The central banks seem to be trying to make gold dangerous ... and saving money even more dangerous, since it'll be decimated by both fees and inflation. In short, they want us to spend ... or buy stocks. And they'll just hit the go-faster button on the printing presses.

But that's a discussion for another day. Gold needs to reclaim the Pluto price zone from 1249 to 1270 before there's another chance to bounce substantially.

I'm in the process of researching and writing Forecast 2014, which I hope will be available in the first few days of January. After next weekend, the Eye of Ra will probably take a break until then so I can concentrate on finalising that report.

An Astrological Trip Around the New Moon in Sagittarius, December 2, 2013

Astrological Investing New Moon forecasts show general trends and financial outlook for the month. The New Moon in Sagittarius 2013 - Chart from the point of view of Wall Street and the NYSE.

The New Moon in Sagittarius, December 2, 2013 - Chart from the point of view of Wall Street and the NYSE. (Click for larger image)  Note: When reading a chart for the NYSE, my interpretations are modified to take into consideration location and the economic and political conditions that impact the market. The meanings of the planets and house are adapted to these circumstances.

Yes, Virginia, there is a Santa Claus - and he is dressed to deliver presents to all the good boys and girls of Wall Street!

Pluto square Uranus can't keep Santa from delivering his presents - not as long as his special reindeers, Ben and Janet, lead his sleigh.
   A VERY FAST TRIP Around the New Moon in Sagittarius Chart

The New Moon is in the fifth house and the Moon rules the Cancer rising chart - The Moon and Sun in Sagittarius is filled with hope and great expectations.

The 5th house comes to the forefront this lunar month -  The fifth house has dominion over theaters and places of amusement, entertainment, and pleasure. It rules creativity, children, and lovers. In financial astrology it rules gambling, stock traders and market speculation. The new Moon here gives promise of prosperity and contentment.

The Sun and Moon (New Moon) in the 5th is trine Uranus in the 10th house.  The 10th house's domain is the government - in this chart that would be the governmental regulatory agencies/people of the NYSE.

Uranus is the planet of *~SURPRISE~!* - Though we can't predict surprises, we know that New Moons, generally, are times when the market it is up. This aspect to Uranus in the 10th suggests unexpected success and achievement. (In political terms, the 10th house symbolizes the Government and the President himself.   Political achievement and success usually calms fears on Wall Street.  However, to fully study the USA political chart, we would need to draw up an exact chart using Washington, DC as the location. The Washington DC chart, in this case (as it is most of the time, due to the proximity of location), does have the planets in the same houses.)

Jupiter is in Cancer in the twelfth house, conjunct the Ascendant - Jupiter here is most fortunate, and acts as if he were the Angel in the December Christmas Pageant.

The 12th house is the natural house of Pisces.  Jupiter, being a co-Ruler of Pisces, has great strength here, and is very beneficial to the US. (The US has it's natal Sun in Cancer - Jupiter is in Cancer.)

So, in the 12th house, Jupiter acts as a Guarding Angel, forcing aside negativity and anything that could possibly thwart idealistic and optimistic goals of a broad and better future.
It's a Santa Claus Rally!
