To the ancient Babylonians, Venus was called Ishtar – the Goddess of War. Subsequent civilizations including the Greeks, Romans, and even the Mayans all held Venus in high regard.

Today, Venus continues to be held in high regard – but by a very different crowd of people. The people I refer to are those who operate silently behind the curtain to move the financial markets when it suits them best.
The Venus heliocentric cycle is 225 days. That is, if you were standing on the Sun as a casual observer, you would see Venus make a complete revolution around the Sun in 225 days.

The Venus synodic cycle is 584 days in length. That is, as a casual observer here on Earth, if you take note of where Venus is located with respect to the constellations in the sky right here and now, you would see it return to that exact same location in 584 days.

When we speak of a Venus 584 day cycle there are two important parts of that cycle – the Inferior Conjunction and the Superior Conjunction.

At Inferior Conjunction, Venus is located between the Earth and the Sun as the above diagram shows.

Immediately following Inferior Conjunction, Venus becomes visible in the morning eastern sky. The ancients dubbed this occurrence the Morning Star. If any of you are familiar with Masonic Lodge ritual, you have heard of the Morning Star before. Venus will remain visible as a Morning Star for 263 days.

At Superior Conjunction, Venus is located on the far side of the Sun from Earth.

Immediately following Superior Conjunction, Venus will appear in the western evening sky as the Evening Star for 263 days.

If you are doing the math, you are thinking that 263 + 263 does not equal 584. This is because there is a 58 day period at Superior Conjunction where Venus is not visible at all to the unaided human eye.

Let’s take a quick look at some past Venus activity.

In early January 2014, Venus made the transition from being visible as the Evening Star to being at Inferior Conjunction. So what happened to the markets in New York? The following chart shows you.

In late September 2014, Venus made the transition from being visible as the Morning Star to starting a Superior Conjunction event. So what happened to the markets in New York? The following chart shows you.

In my November 21st, 2014 E-Alert I stated that Venus would remain as an Evening Star until early August 2015 at which time it would enter Inferior Conjunction. I specifically stated …” circle this August timeframe on your calendars. Something will happen..”

And has something happened? Take a look at the following chart.

And so it goes with Venus. The average investor on the street knows nothing about Astrology. The average TV newsreader knows nothing about Astrology. The average Wall Street analyst knows nothing about Astrology. But…the market wizards behind the curtain do know a lot about Astrology and they use astrological timings with planets like Venus to manipulate markets.

This is the kind of stuff you will read about if you subscribe to my Astrology E-Alert newsletter. If you are a fairly active trader or investor and if you are seeking to enhance your knowledge of how Astrology is used to influence markets, give some thought to subscribing. If you want to take more decisive action and have me personally tutor you to bring you up to speed, I can do that too.

Don’t let the wizards behind the curtain have all the fun. Learn to play their game and level the playing field in your favor…..

I recently had an opportunity to read The Harbinger by Rabbi Jonathan Cahn.

In his book, Cahn states that the birth date of America was the date George Washington was sworn in as President – April 30, 1789 in the morning hours around 9am.

Here is where my curiosity gets piqued. Here s where I dive off the deep end into the pool of astrology. On this swearing in date in 1789, the Moon in the horoscope wheel was passing 14 degrees of Cancer.

Where was the Sun on July 4, 1776 – the date recognized as American Independence Day ? Why, it was at 14 of Cancer.

Where was the Ascendant on May 19, 1789 at the founding date of the New York Stock Exchange? Why it was passing 14 of Cancer, of course.

Now, here is where things get weird. In the early 1500s, Spanish writer Bartolome de las Casas penned a narrative of Columbus’ discovery of the New World. He wrote that on the evening of October 11, 1492 Columbus and his party were anchored at sea and in the distance they saw flickering lights which they took to be fires burning. So, where was the Moon in the zodiac wheel on the evening of October 11, 1492? Why, yes…, it was at 14 Cancer.

Fast forward now to April 3, 1848 when a group of Chicago businessmen founded the Chicago Board of Trade (CBOT). And where was the Moon on that morning when the corporate documents were being finalized and signed? Why, 14 of Cancer of course.

I am at a loss to explain this 14 of Cancer point. But, I can tell you that I have looked at it thoroughly and I have noted price inflection points on CBOT agricultural commodities do often align to dates when heliocentric Mercury, Mars and Venus pass 14 of Cancer. And, the entire McWhirter methodology is based on structuring monthly lunation charts with the Ascendant at 14 Cancer.

If anyone out there has some deeper ideas on 14 Cancer – I would enjoy hearing from you.

the following is an excerpt from the Jan 9, 2015 E-alert, written while I was on vacation in Bisbee, Arizona:

Ask anyone when the birthday of America is – and they will quickly tell you July 4, 1776 – the date the Declaration of Independence was signed.

The other day I made an accidental find here in Bisbee, Arizona when I spotted on the bottom shelf in a dusty old antique shop a book by famed astrology Jim Lewis. Lewis and his contemporaries have done serious back-testing on the subject of America’s birth date and subsequent dates in history that occurred at hard aspects to the birth date. What they have concluded is that the most appropriate birth date for America is actually July 6, 1775. This is the date the Second Continental Congress in Philadelphia issued a formal written Declaration of War against England’s King George III.

I will be using this birth date in my studies of significant turning points in American history. One longer cycle of time that I follow is that of heliocentric Uranus which takes 84 years to orbit the Sun. If one traces the movement of Uranus and its long cycles, it can be seen that from a start date of 1775 – a cycle of Uranus takes us to the events in time aligning to the election of Abraham Lincoln and the subsequent Civil War. Add another Uranus cycle and we land right in the midst of the Second World War. Add another Uranus cycle and we land in 2027. This is interesting in light of the 18.6 year economic cycle that I have talked about at length in various E-Alerts and in my published books. The year 2027 is slated to be the bottom (or end) of the current economic cycle that started in late 2008. I will leave it to you to speculate on what 2027 might bring in light of the past 2 Uranus cycles having aligned to wars.

The following is a shortened excerpt of material was presented to subscribers in the January 2, 2015 E-Alert.

Mercury is the smallest planet in our solar system. Mercury is also the closest to the Sun. As a result of its proximity to the powerful gravitational pull of the Sun, Mercury moves very quickly – completing an orbit of the Sun in 88 days.

Scientists at NASA have now concluded that Mercury does in fact have a di-polar magnetic field. This field is strong enough to deflect solar wind particles that have emanated from the Sun. These solar winds then carry on towards the Earth. Scientists have also determined that Mercury has an eccentric orbit in which its distance from the Sun will range from 46 million kms to 70 million kms. When Mercury is nearer to the Sun (ie… 46 million kms away), it is moving at its fastest (~56.6 kms per second). When Mercury is farther from the Sun (ie… 70 million kms away), it is moving slower (~38.7 kms per second). The point where it is nearest to the Sun is called Perihelion. The point where it is farthest from the Sun is called Aphelion.

One must also consider the Superior and Inferior Conjunctions of Mercury. When Mercury is between the Earth and the Sun, it is in Inferior Conjunction. When Sun is between Earth and Mercury, then Mercury is said to be at Superior Conjunction. It helps to think of Mercury at Inferior Conjunction as being the start of a new 88 day cycle.

The following charts of the S&P 500 and also of Gold illustrate the influence of Mercury.

I have overlaid these charts with Mercury greatest east and West elongation points (labelled E and W), Mercury Perihelion and Aphelion points (labelled P and A) as well as Superior and Inferior Conjunctions (labelled Inf and Sup).

The following list is dates to watch for when Mercury will be at a key part of its orbit.

2015/05/07 Mercury Greatest Elongation East
2015/05/30 Mercury Inferior Conjunction
2015/06/02 Mercury Aphelion
2015/06/24 Mercury Greatest Elongation West
2015/07/16 Mercury Perihelion
2015/07/23 Mercury Superior Conjunction
2015/08/29 Mercury Aphelion
2015/09/04 Mercury Greatest Elongation East
2015/09/30 Mercury Inferior Conjunction

If you are looking for an interesting read this Holiday Season, may I suggest Babylon’s Banksters by author Joseph Farrell. If the title of this book does not immediately fascinate you – maybe the subtitle will – The Alchemy of Deep Physics, High Finance and Ancient Religion.

On page 114, Farrell recounts the story of how in 1946 RCA (Radio Corporation of America) erected a telescope in lower Manhattan to observe sunspots and their effect on radio wave transmissions. The RCA engineers correlated their sunspot observations to heliocentric planetary placements and they found some unique results. They found that hard aspects of
(Venus and / or Mercury) to any of Jupiter, Saturn or Uranus resulted in radio wave distortions.

With this in mind, I invite you to cast attention back to January 2014 when the North American markets started the year with a sell-off. In my December 2013 E-Alert I displayed a standard McWhirter chart of the coming Jan 1, 2014 New Moon and I stated – “I have outlined in yellow, the two T-Square formations that include the New Moon point in Capricorn.
Under the McWhirter approach, hard aspects involving Uranus and Mars imply some volatility for the month ahead”.

Let’s now overlay these comments with a heliocentric planetary chart for January 2, 2014 as follows:

Note the unique aspects that were in play at that time. Venus was 90 degrees Uranus. Venus was 0 degrees Earth. Earth was 90 degrees Uranus. Jupiter was 90 degrees Uranus. Jupiter was 0 degrees to Earth. Earth and Jupiter were 180 degrees to Pluto and Mercury. Mercury had just completed a 90 degree aspect to Uranus a couple days earlier. Earth and Jupiter were 120 degrees to Saturn. Earth and Venus were 120 degrees to Neptune. Mars was 180 degrees to Neptune. In addition, Mercury was at its maximum declination as was Venus.

Very simply stated – our solar system is a dynamic electrical one. We mortals here on Earth are the recipients of energy from the cosmos that arrives as a result of sunspots and solar radiation. These sunspots are affected by the gravitational forces between planets which range in magnitude as a result of planetary alignments. This energy in turn affects our bodies (which are mainly made of water and carbon) which produce emotions which affect our buying and selling decisions on the financial markets. This example profoundly illustrates how a complex arrangement of planets can trigger some major movements on the markets.

In a recent edition of my Astrology E-Alert I went on to illustrate to subscribers how unique heliocentric aspects were responsible for the market sell-off that started in late September 2014.  To keep abreast of unique developments such as heliocentric aspects that can influence human emotion and the markets – I welcome you to become a subscriber to the E-Alert.
