Jupiter Stationary Retrograde and the DOW
Had you talked to me on Feb 2, I would have pointed out that on my chart of the Dow futures, the Wilder Volatility Stop was setting up to switch to a negative trend. But, yet on Feb 3, the Dow decided to gap up and close ~180 points above the Feb 2 close. This is a classic case of Astrology at work. The natal birth horoscope for the NYSE has Jupiter at 22 Libra. As of here and now, transiting Jupiter is making its conjunction with that natal Jupiter location. What’s more, this week-end, Jupiter turns Retrograde.
This intrigued me enough that I scrolled back in time to see what happened the last time Jupiter turned Retrograde. That happened on May 10, 2016. In that May 2016 time frame, the Dow was losing steam, but suddenly it surges 200 points just as Jupiter is about to turn Retro. And again, today, we see Jupiter not only touching the natal Jupiter point, but also about to turn Retro and the Dow puts on a head of steam and moves up in a market that is looking like it may want to lose ground.
Such are the the subtle nuances of using Financial Astrology to look for coming inflection points (as I like to call them) on the markets.
