Gold and Silver enjoyed rallies

REVIEW

“Mr. Trump needs partners in Washington who can move his agenda, and he should recognize that Republicans in Congress are a source of expertise and counsel. If he uses them as allies and forms common cause, he can make his first two years the most significant since Reagan’s first term. If he goes to war with them for reasons of pique, or over marginal policy differences, Democrats will be eager to inherit the wreckage – and drive him out of office after four years, if not earlier.” – Wall Street Journal Opinion page, “The Audacity of Trump,” January 20, 2017.

We now begin the new presidential term headed by the very Uranian personality of Donald Trump, just as we also begin the movement of the Sun into the very Uranian-ruled sign of Aquarius. It’s a new day, and typical of Uranian dynamics, everything else will be different too, and in ways that no one – even Mr. Trump – expects. Everyone will have to get used to many thing being different, and more than a little bit unpredictable. Some things may work out much better than anyone expects, and other things not as well as hoped. We are in for period of exciting new heights, and worrisome new valleys, especially for the next 90 days (until April 21). This will very likely apply to financial markets as well, which could be subject to very sharp price swings. It may be great for short-term traders, and it can also be excellent for longer-term investors who are able can correctly surmise when a sharp decline is ending, and pick up assets at bargain prices. Yet, as fear and greed dominate market behavior, geocosmic signatures suggest both are apt to be in plentiful abundance these next 90 days.

Stock markets were mostly down last week, although U.S. equities had a nice rally on Friday in anticipation of a positive inauguration speech by new President Trump. However, they are still well below their all-time highs registered during the first week of the year, very close to the January 3 three-star geocosmic critical reversal date (CRD). The exception continues to be the NASDAQ, which made yet another new all-time high on Friday, January 20. Conversely, currencies continued to rally (and the US Dollar continued to fall), following the Euro’s 13-year low exactly on our January 3 three-star CRD. As stated before in this column, there is a 16-year cycle in which the US Dollar tops out within 6 months of January when a Republican is elected as the USA president. That 16-year crest cycle is due now, January 2017, +- 6 months. The U.S. Dollar soared to its highest level since December 2002, also on January 3, and has been steadily down ever since.

As the Dollar fell, Gold and Silver enjoyed rallies, with each making new monthly highs last week. Both the metals and currencies will be the focus our webinar net Sunday, January 29, titled “The Great Reset.” This “Great Reset” is based the charts of the USA, Federal Reserve Board, Donald Trump, and Janet Yellen, and how these interrelate with Trump’s new cabinet and the future of certain financial markets. It is a webinar you won’t want to miss, even if you know nothing about astrology.

SHORT-TERM GEOCOSMICS AND LONGER-TERM THOUGHTS

“The largest generation in U.S. history has to start pulling its retirement money this year, kicking off a mandatory movement of cash that could total hundreds of billions in the coming decades.” – Vipal Monga and Sarah Krouse, “Boomers To Start Mandatory 401 (K) Exit,” Wall Street Journal, January 18, 2017.

There is going to be a large sucking sound coming out of the stock market in the years ahead, and starting this year, as retirees start to withdraw from their retirement accounts. It is setting the stage for Jupiter’s one year movement into Scorpio (debt) starting later this year, and then Uranus ingressing into the Taurus, the sign of savings, for seven years beginning in 2018. However, before that gets fully underway, Saturn makes a favorable tribe aspect to Uranus, November 2016 through September 2017. Historically, this 45-year cycle has coincided with long-term cycle crests in USA stock indices, but it has only occurred four times to date. This will be the fifth. The point is that we look for a long-term crest to be completed this year, based on both geocosmic factors, like Saturn trine Uranus, and the fundamental reality that so many people will be forced to sell stocks due to retirement age. It would be wise for investors to keep these thoughts in mind as they plan to go forward from 2017.

Shorter-term, we are ending the Mars/Saturn square of January 19, and moving into the Venus/Saturn square of January 27. We discussed the importance of the Mars/Saturn square on Inauguration Day to the USA chart (as well as Donald Trump’s and Iran’s chart) in last week’s column. The Venus/Saturn is another interesting signature. With Venus ruling “values,” and Saturn representing “contraction,” we have a rule that states any market declining into this aspect is a good candidate for a reversal and rally. So, that is what we will watch for this week, as traders, because soon afterwards, February 6-11, the energy switches to Jupiter. That is, Jupiter will turn retrograde on February 6, and then it will be in a favorable trine aspect with the Sun on February 11. This is a classical geocosmic set up of a rally in those markets that are making lows around January 27, into a top February 6-11. Enjoy the trade if it sets up this way.

After that, it gets very interesting, as the strongest time band of geocosmic signatures begins February 22, lasting through April 21. This period kicks off with a powerful solar eclipse (south node eclipse) on February 27, which is usually more challenging than the north node eclipses, right in the middle of Mars conjoining Uranus and making a T-square with Jupiter and Pluto. Given that Mr. Trump is such a Uranian-type of individual, it will be most interesting to see if he (or other Uranian-like individuals) can remain under control then. If not, this is symbolic of a major eruption or disruption in world affairs, and it may also coincide with the same dynamic in Mother Nature. This is not the best time to take risks where potential danger is concerned.
