Expectations for 2024 Q1 & Q2

2024 Jan-Feb: Stocks rise.
    2024 end Feb – early June: Stocks collapse.

+++

The text below gives reasons for a steady stock market in Jan & Feb 2024, before collapse in the months that follow.

A geocentric Mars-centered Ephemeris means that the positions of the planets are those observed from the Earth. Mars is plotted at the center, while other planets are placed at Left of Right of Mars.

Mars is a positive planet. The influence of a strong Mars can erase adverse force, resulting in rises of stocks.

In Jan & Feb 2024, Mars makes several hard aspects with Outer planets. (N Node is treated as a planet):
  10 Jan 2024 [Uranus Sesquare Mars]. Sesquare = 135⁰
  23 Jan 2024 [N Node Square Mars]. Square = 90⁰.
  02 Feb 2024 [Saturn Semi-square Mars]. Semi-square = 45⁰.
  14 Feb 2014 [Pluto Conjunction Mars]
  28 Feb 2024 [Neptune Semi-square Mars],

Bullish features on the Saturn-centered Ephemeris are:
   09 Jan 2024 [Saturn Semi-square Sun]. Semi-square = 45⁰.
  15 Jan 2024 [N Node Semi-square Saturn].

Mercury & Venus transit 45⁰ (a Semi-square”) behind Saturn to stimulate Saturn:
   30 Jan 2024 [Saturn Semi-square Mercury]
   10 Feb 2024 [Saturn Semi-square Venus].

Neptune is a Musician. It interacts with Mercury and Venus to produce sweet music:

  09 Jan 2024 [Neptune Square Mercury]. Mercury is a Singer. Square = 90⁰.
  19 Jan 2024 [Neptune Square Venus]. Venus is a Dancer.
  31 Jan 2024 [Neptune Semi-square Sun]. The Sun makes the Musician active.
  12 Feb 2024 [Neptune Semi-square Mercury]
  28 Feb 2024 [Neptune Semi-square Venus].

Combine all these positive aspects, and we arrive at a rising stock market in Jan & Feb 2024.

Finally, examine heliocentric Mars-centered Ephemeris. The planets’ positions are those viewed from the Sun.

 
Saturn is in front of Mars. Mars moves forward to make a hard aspect with Saturn:
    02 Mar 2024 [Mars Semi-square Mars].

Earth behind Mars moves forwards to make a hard aspect with Mars:

   24 Feb 2024 [Mars Sesquare Earth].

These 2 aspects invigorate Mars, and they should mark the top of current rise in stocks – the top in end Feb 2024.

We’ll discuss the Collapsing stock market that follows (from end Feb to early June 2024) in the next Post.

Over optimism

 Issue No. 169 – Saturday 16 Dec 2023

Long-term forecast
  Recession from end July 2023 to end May 2024 (duration 10 months).

Short term forecast
  Crash in Sep 2023.
  Bottom on Tue 03 Oct, followed by a rebound lasting through Wed 11 Oct 2023.
     NOTE: Rebound top 11 Oct 2023 is correct for Nasdaq. DJIA top is a few days later.
After the rebound, Stocks’ slide resumes largely owing to an energized Ceres.

Going forward
  The Stock market will tumble.

Stocks in the past weeks rise significantly. Markets rejoice after the Federal Reserve's shift in tone (after Fed meeting towards NY close on Wed 13 Dec 2023) as the central bank signals more rate cuts in 2024 than previously forecast, and acknowledges its anti-inflation campaign is gaining traction.

The rise is caused by a Melody Formation.

The following aspects all occur on Wed 13 Dec 2023:

@03:34 [Neptune Sesquare Venus]
    This is a Melody formation – Neptune is Musician, & Venus is Dancer.

@06:46 [Neptune Square Moon]
@07:07 [Moon Semi-square Venus]
    The bullish influence of the Melody is brought out by Moon transits.

@15:16 [Pluto Semi-square Mars]
    Bullish Pluto & bullish Mars are present to protect the Melody formation.

Accordingly, the Fed’s expectations of lower interest rates are melodious to the ear. Stocks rally.

However, the Melody formation is only transitory because Venus is a fast moving planet. The sweet music soon fades away. Investors may have been over-optimistic.

This is a bearish geocentric Ephemeris.

Bearish Jupiter is plotted at the center. Three (3) important planets are at hard aspects with Jupiter & with Jupiter Trojans:

[i] Uranus is 15⁰ in front of Jupiter, and Jup FT are 60⁰ in front of Jupiter.
    The bearish aspect is [Jup FT Semi-square Uranus].

[ii] N Node is 15⁰ behind Jupiter, and Jup AT are 60⁰ behind Jupiter.
    The bearish aspect is [N Node Semi-square Jup AT].

[iii] Neptune is 45⁰ behind Jupiter.
    The bearish aspect is [Jupiter Semi-square Neptune].

Moon transits will invoke the bearish influence of these negative features.

The more important transit is when Sun moves forward to 120⁰ behind Jupiter on Wed 27 Dec 2023. Bearish aspects are made:

  [Uranus Sesquare Sun]
  [Jup FT Opposition Sun]

Jup FT are de-stabilized by the Sun (which is supported by Uranus). Stocks tumble in 2^nd half of Dec 2023.

Slide is delayed

Issue No. 168 – Saturday 02 Dec 2023

Long-term forecast
  Recession from end July 2023 to end May 2024 (duration 10 months).

Short term forecast
  Crash in Sep 2023.
  Bottom on Tue 03 Oct, followed by a rebound lasting through Wed 11 Oct 2023.
      NOTE: Rebound top 11 Oct 2023 is correct for Nasdaq. DJIA top is a few days later.

  After the rebound, Stocks’ slide resumes largely owing to an energized Ceres.

Going forward
  The Stock market will collapse.

DJIA in the past 2 weeks rise significantly, while Nasdaq stocks are erratic.

We expect stocks to fall sharply because of Insulation of Saturn plus Mars Combustion. However, bullish Mars influence has found a way to travel to Earth creating the rise. We’ll explain below.

FIGURE 01 is a Bullish Long Bar. Mars is a sharply bullish planet, and Mars is stressed by 2 neutral planets.

FIGURE 02 shows that Super-Giant Jupiter create Distorted Space around it. Jupiter is sharply bearish, but the Distorted Space is Neutral. Treat JDS (Jupiter’s Distorted Space) as a Neutral planet.

FIGURE 03 is similar to FIGURE 01. It is a Bullish Long Bar because 2 Neutral planets stress bullish Mars. The 2 Neutral planets are: Uranus and JDS.

FIGURE 04 depicts the Bullish Long Bar is being turned bearish because it is too close to (more powerful) bearish Jupiter. When Jupiter moves right into the straight line, it is definitely very bearish.

The following 2 Solar Charts should be scrutinized.

Refer to Left Solar Chart 2023-11-27, Stocks’ rise in end Nov 2023 is due to a bullish Mars Long Bar. Jupiter moves very slowly towards the Red Line so that the Red Line passes through JDS and it gets invigorated. Bullish Mars influence is invoked. The Earth (circle with a white cross inside) is very close to the Red Line so that positive Mars influence is easily transmitted to investors on Earth.

On the other hand, on Right Solar Chart 2023-12-04 Earth has moved away from the Red Line so that investors on Earth find it difficult access bullish Mars influence. Bearish Jupiter has moved much closer to the Long bar and the Super-Giant is able to overpower Mars. The bullish Long Bar will soon be turned into a bearish Long Bar.

We anticipate that Stocks may be steady for a couple of days, and will then plummet.
