Timing is everything! For Markus Rose, of all methods of delineating the future, there is nothing that ranks supreme in accuracy than financial astrology. Markus Rose employs mathematical patterns between the Zodiacal positions of several planets in order to predict trends and precise turning dates in financial markets. Weekly published newsletters cover Gold, Stock Indices, Bonds, Forex and Oil. For the purpose of prediction Markus has developed several software programs including Moving Stars, the Rosecast Bradley and the Rosecast Planetary Indicators for the trading platform Ninja Trader.

This interview is inspired by the recently published "2016 Annual Rosecast" that concentrates on forecasting precise turning dates for Gold and US Stock Indices one year in advance!

What can we expect for the stock market in 2016?

On page 47 of the 2016 Annual Forecast released in December I have predicted that we would see a low at the end of February and a bullish March. This is indeed what has happened. I see now mixed to down-trend, but sometimes in May a rally will start leading into an important high at the end of June.

What are the driving planetary aspects causing the predicted rally in June?

When making a prediction for each year I look at the major planetary aspects and patterns between the slow moving planets. There will be a Trine aspect (120 degrees) between Jupiter and Pluto and a conjunction between Uranus and Eris in June of 2016. I should mention that Eris and Pluto are not planets, they are only dwarf planets – that means they are smaller in size than the traditional eight planets. Eris was discovered in 2005 and is the biggest and most massive of all dwarf planets. The conjunction between Uranus and Eris will support the US technology sector in particular along with the major stocks in the NASDASQ 100.

And for the second part of the year?

Well, after the high in late June we can naturally expect a correction to last for a few weeks. How long that correction will last I do not want say, yet. But there will be both periods of rallies and declines during the second half. I do not see a one-sided market as we have seen in the second half of 2006.

By reading the review of the 2015 forecast I got an idea of how to best use the predicted dates in 2016. The predicted dates do not necessarily become swing highs and lows.

That is correct. The predicted days I have chosen by observing mathematical patterns between several planets. By definition the predicted days are days when astrological energy peaks. These peaks not only occur at swing highs and lows in the financial markets, but also just before a market is to start a new trend or break out of an existing trend. An example of such a “peak day” is January 5, 2016 one of the dates featured. The astrological energy was supportive to stocks on that day and I originally expected a high. One day later S&P 500 broke a supportive horizontal trend-line and an important move to the downside followed.

Interesting. Your Forecast book has also a lot of educational material for those interested in Financial Astrology.

Yes, the 2016 Annual Forecast has been written for both absolute beginners and more experienced readers of financial astrology. It can be used as a basic guide and manual to learn financial astrology.

We start with describing the basis of any astrological observation - the horoscope, sometimes referred to as Zodiac. We then describe the financial meaning of each of the planets. For deriving the forecasts made in the book the keywords traditionally assigned to the planets are not the most important factor, while the planetary relationships that the planets engage in are crucial.

By relationships do you mean observed angles between planetary bodies?

Exactly. There are different kinds of aspects or mathematical relationships that planets can engage with each other. On top of that any two planets create a midpoint that can be interpreted as their combined center of energy. In order to master the art of financial astrology, these midpoints have to be taken into account. From a mathematical point of view these midpoints are just as important as the planets themselves in finding patterns of multiple planets in the skies.

Many of our users may not know they can search for patterns in the sky.

In order to search for patterns in the sky a software is needed that displays the planetary positions with exact degrees in a circle. The big disadvantage with regular astrology software is that the midpoints (the combined center of energies between two planets) are not given enough visual representation to allow for the most effective searches.

Because of this failure I have created my own line of financial astrology software programs, some of which are described on my website

My research led me to coin the term “TRISPECT”, which is simply a name for an exact mathematical relationship between any three planets. For example, in an exact T-square (which means three planets located in Signs square to each other) the midpoints of two planets will always cast an exact 135 degrees’ angle to the third planet. That is the reason why any T-square can be mathematically pinpointed to a certain year, day, hour and minute. 135 degrees is an aspect of the eight harmonic, because 360/8 = 45 and 135 is a multiple of 45.

Harmonics like in musical theory?

Yes, predicting Highs and Lows using planetary patterns can be compared to playing a piece of music. Like “harmonic” intervals in musical theory, conjunctions, trines and sextiles are traditionally considered favorable (BENEFIC) in traditional astrology. “Disharmonic” intervals in musical theory are traditionally considered unfavorable (MALEFIC) in financial astrology. However, my research clearly indicates that financial astrology is missing some important aspects. These aspects I reveal in detail in the first section (the learning part) of the 2016 Annual Forecast.

You also make use of the Bradley dates right?

Since the Bradley Siderograph has a good track record of predicting swing dates in the financial markets I have created a software that displays “the Bradley curve” and calculates the Bradley dates according to the original formula. In addition, the software calculates turn dates according to my own modification of the original Bradley. The result of this change I simply call” the Rosecast Bradley.” 

The 2016 Forecast contains an extensive Trading Almanac that lists both the original and the Rosecast Bradley dates along with planetary stations and planetary aspects.

In the book you do not provide dates for the USD specifically. But can you give our readers a hint where the risk may be for 2016?

Yes, I predict, USD, EUR, POUND and YEN on a weekly basis. USD has made an important high on January 29, 2015 and I now expect at least a four-month correction. Therefore, the risk in April is for further correction in USD and for Euro to break above 1.14. Yen should also be very strong in April, while Pound should do well against USD, but lose against Yen.

To subscribers of my weekly letters I provide specific dates that traders use to enter the market with two stop orders that are placed above the high and low of the peak-energy days in order to take advantage of evolving trends with limited risk.
