Venus and the S&P 500
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…..
