Greece and the European Union- An astrological view

This is the news which is causing ripples around the world yesterday...

" World markets hit as Greek crisis intensifies

By Charles Riley   @CRrileyCNN

The crisis in Greece now has the full attention of investors around the world -- and they don't like what they see.

European markets were hammered early Monday morning, with both the German DAX and French CAC opening 4.4% lower. Portugal's stock market was down nearly 6%, while Britain's FTSE fared better, shedding only 2%. Those losses were trimmed by late morning.

European bank stocks were particularly hard hit. Spain's Banco Santander (BCDRF) gave up 5.7% in early trading, while French bank Credit Agricole (CRARF) lost 6.7%.
"While Greece is the weakest member of the euro and might not have the largest economy by any means, the global implications to Greece failing to repay its debts remain largely unknown and this is why worldwide indices will continue facing downside pressures," noted FXTM chief market analyst Jameel Ahmad.

Greek shares and bonds were not trading Monday because markets were shuttered after officials said Greek banks would be closed until July 6.
Asian markets finished lower on the day, led by Japan's benchmark Nikkei index, which declined by 2.9%. Australia's ASX All Ordinaries was down 2.2%, while Seoul's KOSPI Composite lost 1.4%.
The euro tumbled against other major currencies, losing 1.6% against the Japanese yen and 0.8% against the U.S. dollar.
Government bond yields rose in Italy, Spain and Portugal but the move was modest, and all three countries are still able to borrow more cheaply than a year ago.
In the U.S., stock futures were pointing to a sharply lower open on Monday and that's exactly what happened. The Dow shed over 130 points (0.75%), and the Nasdaq close to 1% in early trading.
The trigger for the rapid escalation in the crisis was the Greek government's decision late Friday to pull its negotiators out of bailout talks. Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras slammed a draft proposal from Europe and the International Monetary Fund, and then said he would put it to the Greek people in a referendum on July 5.

European leaders are now facing one of the worst moments in the history of the euro. President Obama called German Chancellor Angela Merkel on Sunday, and the two agreed to take all steps to try to resolve the crisis.
Banks in Greece will not open on Monday, and account holders will face tough limits on what they can withdraw from ATMs.
The curbs on banking imposed by Greece on Sunday are known as capital controls, which are used only at times of extreme stress in a banking system.
Greece faces a critical deadline on Tuesday, when it must make a loan payment to the IMF. The country looks almost certain to default on that payment."

How does the scenario look from an Astro perspective?
Let us look at two charts..
1. The day Greece joined the European Community
2. The day European Union was formally brought into being

Since exact times were not known, I have taken recourse to Moon charts. That is where the Moon position is considered as the Ascendant.
From the first chart we see that Jupiter and Saturn were conjunct in the 12th house, in Virgo, with Pluto just at the entrance of Libra.Both Saturn and Jupiter were closely trine with Ketu and sextile with Rahu. In other words energies of powerful slow moving celestial bodies, were intertwined.
Jupiter, the lord  of contracts was already weak because he held the 6th house responsibility as well. Further, such a Jupiter, was powerfully influenced by Saturn, both in the 12th.So Jupiter loses strength and becomes malefic as well.
Mars, lord of 7th and 2nd, is happy in the  4th, because Capricorn is his exalted house.He is also the second house lord. So lord of 2,7 and 11 houses is strongly placed. The marriage had to happen.Since Saturn owned the 4th house, the marriage had gone through prolonged courtship before conclusion.
Apart from  Jupiter, another negative was the square aspect between the 11th house lord Sun and Saturn. Venus the 8th lord also spoilt the signification of the 2nd house by being in it.
In a nutshell, there were inherent issues with the marriage. Any horoscope where Jupiter goes into the 12th that too with the 5th lord Saturn is a major cause for concern.

Let us look at the second chart, that of the day, European Union was formed..
Immediately we notice the Nodes afflicting the lagna and the seventh houses axes.This is Kala Sarpa yoga.This is worse,because both Rahu and Ketu are debilitated!
What effects could that bring? Huge debt related issues because Mars lord of the 12th is in close proximity with Pluto, both strong.And both afflicted by a debilitated Rahu-Ketu axis.
Jupiter, the 8th lord is in Mars star, where Mars is the 7th and 12th lord and Mars, the 12th lord is in 8th star lord, Jupiter`s star. This is not a very happy parivarthana.
However Jupiter in the 6th and Saturn in the 9th ( here 9th lord is in his own house) are redeeming features and keep the ball rolling.
Another rare aspect is the conjunction of two very long term planets, Uranus and Neptune. This is happening in the 8th house.Typically these planets connect to economic cycles which are very long, such as 18/27/36 year cycles.By 2020, we will be in the 27th year after European Union was formed.  So matters of great import shall happen, when these two slow moving planets are translated by another slow moving formation, such as Ketu-Rahu axis. Such an event will happen in 2019/2020.

Let us look at the astro chart of both these events as of today...                                                               ( Greece joining EU and EU formally being formed )

I have highlighted  both chandra lagnas in this present day time chart.
Looking from Tula chandra lagna ( pertaining to Greece joining EU), we find that the 6th house of debts is heavily afflicted by Rahu and Ketu and has also got Uranus, ( the revolutionary and master for sudden events). Venus is the 8th lord and he is conjunct with Jupiter, the third and sixth lord, in the 10th, in Mercury star ( Mercury is the 9th and 12th lord, presently in the 8th).Moreover, both Jupiter and Venus are triggered off by Uranus trine.
So no wonder, sudden debt related events are getting triggered off isn`t it?
Looking from Vrishabha Lagna, ( pertaining to EU formation date), Venus is the 6th lord and Jupiter is the 8th lord. Both are meeting together in the 3rd house, the house of contracts and agreements.
And getting triggered off by Uranus from the 11th. So amazingly, strife because of debts and contract break downs are indicated.
Since both Mercury and Venus are fast moving planets, the current issue may not precipitate Greece leaving the EU.This is likely to be a temporary problem only.
However,

Look at this chart of 2020.EU`s 8th house is Sagittarius. 

Saturn conjunct Pluto there.

Jupiter also in Sagittarius.

Rahu Ketu axis also afflicts the 8th house.

Uranus is in the 12th.Such a Uranus connects with Mercury, the lord of 5th house.

It looks highly likely that the EU itself may cease to exist.

Since Sagittarius is the 3rd house in Greece joining date chart. all contracts, agreements may become null and void then.

The whole world is about a witness turmoils in 2019/ 2020.

Additionally Ketu will connect with Neptune first and then with Uranus between August 2019 to March 2020.

 And it would bring home the 27 year cycle!

Saturn Pluto Semi Square and Investors

This post is not for traders..It is for Investors..
See this chart..

On December 20, 2011, Nifty formed an important low at 4531.By August 2015, we would have completed 45 months of uptrend.This is a 4 year cycle in operation.
We had seen that Nifty follows 8 year cycles, quite diligently, 1992,2000,2008 etc.,
4 year cycles are naturally present when 8 year cycles operate.
Cycles are not precise, because they get distorted by bigger cycles. Such a distortion has produced a cycle low of Dec 2011.
Often we find that Saturn and Pluto form waning semi squares when such 4 year cycles are formed. There are other planetary combos of course, for long term cycles, but we are right now interested only in Pluto and Saturn forming 45 degree semi squares.
Since both Pluto and Saturn have the habit of becoming retrograde, sometimes this Semi square formation happens as a triple combination..that is the formation happens three times in a row.
For instance, we see that we had Saturn Pluto SS on November 29, 2014, June 20, 2015 and we shall have one more in August 2015.
If we measure this period from November 29 2014 to August 13, 2015, we find that it has taken 9 months. Mid point period is 4.5 months and that coincides with the decisive secondary top of 8845,
 on April 15, 2015.
This is perfectly in expectation of a crest formation as part of 4 year cycle culmination .
Now, our interest is what happens hereafter?
Let us dip into history and look at two charts from long ago...

Chart on the left is Dow Jones from 1843..
We see that 4 year cycle, influenced by Pluto Saturn semi square, formed a top in August 1847 and then slipped back 30 % after which it began a bull run to a bigger top.
In the chart on the right,
we see a bull run from June 1877 to a cycle top at Jan 1880.The Dow corrected but once again surpassed the previous top in a fresh bull run.
Extrapolating the understanding, once this ABC corrections are completed, we will get a fantastic opportunity to invest into some good stocks which may give us very good returns.
Since I expect the dollar to appreciate further, have a close watch on good IT Companies.

Bank Nifty Astro Technicals June 01 to 05 2015

Dear Friends,
It had been a long journey..I had started this blog on March 10, 2012, and but for a brief period of my illness, I had been consistently posting astro views and technical views of Nifty. I had always tried to be as accurate as possible and also as comprehensive.In the bargain, I had been spending quite a lot of my time on the weekends,analysing, collating and creating the charts and then cohesively posting them.Since I also have an active full time job and my own trading, it has begun to become a little too much.Also it is time I get some compensation for all the hard work which goes into the creation of these posts.
But since my first love is astro technical research, I shall continue but for only a select audience.I wish to offer these services at a cost, a nominal Rs 1000/- per month. There shall be weekly astro technical analysis and midweek reviews on Wednesdays.Occasionally I shall also be analysing select stocks.
Two other activities which I shall be pursuing is to start Financial Astrology classes for a limited set of students and help people select stocks  to keep trading and investing, which match with their horoscopes. I shall let you all know when these activities would be kick started.
I need to invest in software and allied activity.. hence the proposal for subscription. The blog will continue to be available, put open posts shall be very occasional.
If you are interested in subscribing for the regular weekly posts and mid week reviews, please send me an email to tekkiesuresh@gmail.com.I shall intimate my bank details and other mandatories, through a return mail.
Iam limiting the subscription to just 50 members because the idea is to share knowledge with joy on a cost to cost basis and not look to turn it into a drudgery of servicing large number of subscribers which may not be possible for me at present.
If my work had made sense to you, if it has helped you make money in the market, if you wish to know more about the astro technical approach to markets, then you are welcome with both hands.
My sincere thanks to all of those wonderful folks who had been with me for a long time, commented on my posts and generally added to my knowledge... you had been my motivating force!
Let us meet on the other side....
Meanwhile this post is on Bank Nifty, for a change...I continue to believe that Bank Nifty may surpass Nifty this year..

 

Let us have a look at the astro positioning of Bank Nifty

So bye, all! Take CARE  

Dow Jones Update May 2015

Have a look at these previous updates..
http://niftyastrotechnicals.blogspot.in/2014/11/astro-technicals-of-dow-jones.html

http://niftyastrotechnicals.blogspot.in/2015/02/dow-jones-and-gold-charts-feb-2015.html

Here is the current long term update. Dow may continue its bullish way till well into 2017 second half.We expect a good correction to levels below 17500 by March 2016.

Crude

Mars in Taurus 1985 and 2015

From Nifty Astro Technicals April 27 to 30 2015

"....by May 04th, Mars will be moving to Taurus and Venus to Gemini.Out of these two signs, Taurus is more important, because all planets passing through Taurus must necessarily meet the gaze of Saturn from Scorpio. All of them will have some destabilising effect bestowed upon them because of Saturn.
Let us see how Mars behaved last time it met Saturn opposition from Scorpio....."

 Since Mars is in Taurus for roughly 45 days, the first 0ne third when he traverses in Sun star, he depresses the market. And then there is a rebound...

Common factor is an immediate uptrend and then a pronounced fall..This means markets could turn down sharply in the middle of May and recover only in June, when Mars gets ready to move into Gemini...."

USDINR and Nifty

Since FIIs are an important moving force in our stock markets and since they bring in dollars and convert them into rupees when they come in and vice versa when they go out, it may be useful to look at the currency and Nifty together.

So what is the next move in Rupee? How will it impact Nifty?

Long term timing lines from previous high and low appear to intersect Rupee movement at its current position. So USDINR may form an important top now and start moving down in the medium term. In other words, Rupee could start appreciating from now on, for the medium term.
This could be bullish for Nifty in the medium term, if the correlation continues.

Looking at Nifty medium term,
Line 1 is the long term timing line for Nifty. She had recently broken it downwards.
Line 2 is its parallel line, which also has been pierced downwards, making the near term trend as down.
Currently Nifty is moving down along line 3.As can be seen, the immediate resistance ahead is at 8400. If Nifty gets resisted here, she may travel along line 3 and reach line 5.This support rests at 7961.
She is unlikely to break this line. If she still does it then she may go to line 6 or 7.If Nifty breaches 8145, she will be in the second circle. Then look to 7961 confidently.  If Nifty breaches 8356, then look at 8546 confidently.
As per the Rupee chart, if Nifty bottom out now at these levels we can confidently invest for the medium term. I think June 2015 may provide us this opportunity.

Nifty Astro Technicals May 14, 2015

I have updated the Daily Astro Aspects chart.
We have Mars opposite Saturn and Venus square Rahu and Ketu coming up immediately. Since they have been given in the top of the chart, it means we may expect a spike up to the aspect and a spike down within a day or so.
May 18 is New Moon. It is also the date of Mercury turning retro. This time, Mercury is in Moon, Mars is in Moon and Rahu is in Moon. So volatility may continue.Now this is in the bottom. So Nifty may move from a high of 15th to a low on 18th and turn up again till May 22.May 22 may be one more reversal.
Now, the exact extent of reversals may be ascertained and followed up through technical tools.

 Look at the cycles. Blue cycle had inverted on May 11th as expected.Volatility is because of directional clash of the blue and red cycles.Inverted blue cycle may promote a low towards its mid point. 108 day red cycle has turned down. Being the bigger cycle, it may push the market down.
Neo wave count has been updated.  We are in volatile b wave. b wave is up. After this b wave we will have a c wave down to complete the first leg down after the complex correction. Next big up move may happen in June 2015.

 Currently b wave looks to form a diametric.After g a decline looks possible.
