Solar Tides & Financial Markets | Al Larson

Astrophysics & Chaos [Mar 30, 1999]

"The Solar Energy System does affect markets. The Sun gives off radiation which varies by about 2 percent. These variations are caused by tidal forces that the revolving planets exert on the gases in the Sun.

These tides cause vortexes in the Sun’s surface leading to solar flares, coronal holes, and magnetic storms. The energy changes from these are carried to Earth on an ionized stream of particles called the Solar Wind.

When the Solar Wind reaches Earth it is deflected around the Earth by the Earth’s magnetic field. 

This creates a magnetosphere around the Earth. At the poles ionized particles can penetrate the Earth’s atmosphere. Changes in the solar radiation cause changes in the voltage in the ionosphere.

This in turn causes changes in the electrical currents flowing through people standing on the Earth. These emotional swings account for about 40 percent of price motion."

The Skyscraper Indicator | Excuse me, while I kiss the sky ...

Cycles analyst Edward Dewey (1895-1978) was the chief economics analyst for the US Department of Commerce when he developed the "Skyscraper Indicator" in the 1940s: It correlates human optimism to the number of high-rise buildings under construction. When people are very optimistic, they tend to express their feelings in massive construction projects, especially very tall buildings, because they have a need to build toward the sky! Since this extreme optimism is reached at major market peaks, in the economy, severe economic downturns usually follow; not just declines in real estate prices. 

The world’s current tallest building, the Burj Khalifa in Dubai (828 m), nicely illustrates this process: It was built as a monument to the Gulf emirate’s boom in the middle years of last decade and opened in late 2009, just as the emirate plunged into financial crisis. These are the highest buildings in 2013:

World's Tallest Buildings 2013

And these are the tallest buildings currently under construction and expected to be complete before 2020:

Skyscrapers under Construction

It doesn't need a prophet to tell where the next bubbles are about to pop: Of all of the world's skyscrapers under construction, China is home to 53% of them and by 2016 China's highest buildings will exceed the 'One World Trade Center' (417 m) in New York by 200 meters. The boom is on though in mid 2013 the construction of the planned 838 meter Sky City in south-central China was halted by the authorities for not having a building permission. A similar craze for high rise has gripped South Korea and India. India just finished building two skyscrapers and has 14 skyscrapers currently under construction. However, having survived the Arab Spring miraculously, it is this decrepit royal kleptocracy in Saudi Arabia that is now giving thanks to each other by decorating Jeddah with a 1,007 meter high 'Kingdom Tower'.

Let's have a look at what happened during recent high times in different places: The construction of the Taipei 101 (508 m) began in 1999 and was completed in 2004. The duration coincided without the recession in the early 2000s and the tech bubble while in 2010 the completion of the Burj Khalifa coincided with the current global financial crisis. The Asian economic crisis, currency devaluation and speculation in stock and property coincided in 1997-1998 with the completion of the Petronas Towers (452 m), the tallest buildings in the world at the time. Now the Great 18-Year Real Estate Cycle will again be due to peak and pop around 2016.

DJIA 2013-2014 vs 1929

Calculated and charted with Sergey Tarassov's Timing Solution. For the methodology see HERE

Tom DeMark detected this 2013-2014 analog with 1929. It points to a very important market top on January 14, 2014. However, in a recent interview Tom DeMark was expressing his frustration about his signals not working due to constant FED manipulations. Stan Harley has figured on January 10, 2014 as an important top based on Fibonacci cycles. Based on George Lindsay's techniques, Ed Carlson targets the first half of January as the later of two likely ultimate top dates for this uptrend: "The current LLH interval points to a top on 1/2/14."

Geocentric and Heliocentric Bradley Indices 2014

In the 1940's Garth Allen - better known as Donald Bradley (1925-1974) - developed the Bradley Siderograph to forecast the financial markets (stocks, bonds, commodities). He assigned numerical values to certain geocentric and heliocentric planetary constellations for every day, and the sum is the geocentric or heliocentric Bradley Siderograph or Bradley Index. Sergey Tarassov believes Donald Bradley's book "Stock Market Prediction" is the best on financial astrology: "He has done an excellent job, especially taking into account the fact that there were no PC in 1940s. First of all he has demonstrated that astrology really works. Second he has made this fact understandable to all people, not for small astrological community only. Each word in this book has some sense in comparison to many modern sources of financial astrology." However, the Bradley Indices do not predict the direction but only turning points within a time window of +/- 4 calendar days.

SPX vs George Bayer's Rule # 1

SPEED OF MERCURY IN GEOCENTRIC LONGITUDE

... Periodically the speed comes to a stand-still. At such times the planet moves from a direct motion into a retrograde motion or from a retrograde to a direct motion ... It is advisable to plot this Mercury speed ... through an entire year and note the effect of such changes. We obtain tops or bottoms ... When the previous movement is down, Wheat must be bought on weakness of the day; if the market moves upward prior to change of Mercury’s speed, short positions must be taken on strength during the day mercury changes its speed.

The Cloud Mystery | Henrik Svensmark

Nir Shaviv and Henrik Svensmark (HERE)

Looking at the Milky Way from above, we see four giant spiral arms. Our solar system is currently located within a small armlet called Orion between the two big spiral arms Sagittarius-Carina and Perseus. But it doesn’t stay there. It rotates at a speed of some 830,000 kilometers per hour around the galactic center and does a whole round about every 250 millions years. This rotation period is called one galactic year. That means on average every about 65 million years our solar system moves through one of the major spiral arms of the milky-way. 

The Solar System's passage
through the Milky Way (HERE)

During such a passage the average temperature on Earth is about 5-10°C colder than outside the spiral arms where more clouds can be created and are causing cooler climatic conditions. Within a spiral arm more cosmic rays reach the Earth because there are more super novae in the immediate neighborhood of our solar system. These dying stars are sending out cosmic rays, subatomic particles with enormous energy rushing through the galaxy at almost the speed of light. And some of them shower and bombard the Earth. In our atmosphere the cosmic rays are nuclei for condensation of water vapor and cloud formation. And the clouds reflect the sunlight and cool the Earth.

The Sun of course also plays an important role in the formation of clouds: When there are a lot of sunspots, the magnetic fields of the Sun are emitting more charged particles, called the solar wind. The solar wind fights and neutralizes the cosmic rays and controls how many of them reach the Earth. During the 20th century the magnetic activity of the Sun has almost doubled. As a result fewer cosmic rays reach the Earth, the cloud cover became thinner and the Earth’s climate warmer. 

Nir Shaviv (HERE)

A ‘lazy’ Sun would produce less magnetic activity, less solar wind and more cosmic rays would reach the Earth’s atmosphere able to build up clouds there and to cool the planet’s climate down: The Sun controls the Earth’s cloudiness. The climate is controlled by the clouds. The clouds are controlled by cosmic rays. And the cosmic rays are controlled by the Sun.

Trading the Rules (daily chart) 
1)  Look for a change in trend on a potential astro-turn-date, e.g. if market has been up, look for sell.

2)  Additional energy enters the market on potential astro-turn-dates. If the market has been trading in a range for 4 days or more, trade the breakout of the range.
 
3)  Without an obvious range or direction, do not trade. 

27 - 54 -108 - 216 - 432 - 864 │Octaves below God

At its equator, the Sun rotates with a period of about 27 days. This also equals the number of days of the duration of a sidereal revolution of the Moon (27 days, 7 hours, 43 minutes, 11.5 seconds).

 1 * 27 = 27
 2 * 27 = 54 (1st octave)
 4 * 27 = 108 (2nd octave)
 8 * 27 = 216 = 6 * 6 * 6 (3rd octave) 
16 * 27 = 432 (4th octave)  

The next octave is 864.
One mean solar day = 86400 seconds (60 * 60 * 24 = 432 * 2 * 100 = 21600 * 4).  
Sun’s diameter = 864000 (English) miles = 432 * 2 * 1000 = 12 * 12 * 600
Earth's diameter = 7920 miles = 8 * 9 * 10 * 11 miles.
Earth's radius = 3960 miles = 6 * 660 miles.
Moon's diameter = 2160 miles = 6 * 6 * 60 miles
Platonic Year = 240 * 108 years = 25920 years
Platonic Month = 2160 years
Moon's radius = 1080 miles = 10 * 108 miles
108 is the atomic weight of silver, the element traditionally associated with the Moon.
100 * 108 = 10800 = Number of stanzas in the Rig Veda of 40 syllables each =
40 * 10800 = 432000 syllables in the Rigveda
108 * 1000 = 108000 = 30 * 60 * 60 = number of seconds per zodiacal sign
432000 miles = Sun's radius.
Earth's radius + the Moon's radius = 5040 miles = 7! miles = 1 * 2 * 3 * 4 * 5 * 6 * 7 miles
Earth's distance from the Sun = 108 times the Sun's diameter (216 / 2). 

The axis of Earth has a 23.5 degree tilt in relation to its elliptical path. The tilting axis moves a whole circle in 25920 years = 432 *  60. This means that the Earth is in each house of the Zodiac for 2160 years (216 * 10). There are 86400 seconds in a day: 43200 for the daytime, and 43200 for the nighttime. There were 432000 fallen warriors whom the Valkyries carried to Valhalla, who rode forth to battle "for Odin in the last day". 

The Vedas and Purāṇas describe time as a manifestation of the Supreme Being. A Kali Yuga lasts 432000 years. 'Kāl' in Sanskrit means 'to measure or to calculate Kāla', the mother of the spirit of the age. A range of units of Kāla measurements are described, spanning right from Paramāṇu (time length of about 17 microseconds) to the Mahā-Manvantara (311.04 trillion years). The 4 vedic Yugas follow a timeline ratio of 4 : 3 : 2 : 1. Satya-Yuga = 4800 * 360 = 1,728,000 solar years. Tretā-Yuga = 3600 * 360 = 1,296,000 years. Dvāpara-Yuga = 2400 * 360 = 864000 years. And finally the the Kali-Yuga is 1200 * 360 = 432000 years. 1000 Yuga cycles equal one Kalpa, that is one Day of Brahma.  All these numbers are multiples of 108, the number of beads in Eastern prayer necklaces.

Plato was among the first to notice that 216 is 3^3 + 4^3 + 5^3, that is the smallest cube that is also the sum of three cubes while 432 is the sum of four consecutive primes: 103 + 107 + 109 + 113 = 432 / 2 = 216 = 6 * 6 * 6 and can be read as 666. This is the biblical number of Man, who, according to Pythagoras, exists one octave below God = 16 * 27 = 432 (= the 4th octave of the solar frequency). Stonehenge is located at 51 degrees, 10 minutes, and 42.35294118 seconds North latitude, and 51 * 10 * 42.3529 = 21600 = 43200 / 2. The musical note A has  432 Hz. 432 * 432 = 186,400 English miles are very close to the speed of light in a vacuum in English miles per second (exact 186,624). 

The Moon’s diameter is 2160 miles (radius = 1080 miles) and the Moon is 216,000 miles away from Earth, one hundred and eight times its diameter (The average distance between Moon's surface and Earth's surface is 108.3 lunar diameters). The Sun is 864,900 miles in diameter (which is roughly 108 diameters of Earth (actually 109.1) and 93465000 miles away. That is 432 times the Moon's distance (216 * 2) or roughly 108 solar diameters (216 / 2) from the surface of the Sun to the surface of the Earth (actually 107.5).

It takes the Sun 2160 years to regress one constellation. Also we arrive at 2160 years if we add 49 laps around the Sun for each of five planets (Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn) so that their start and finish points are the same sidereal cycle:  Mercury 87.969 days + Venus 224.701 days + Mars 686.979 days + Jupiter 4332.554 days + Saturn 10,759.494 days = 16,091.697 days total divided by 365 = 44.086 years * 49 orbits = 2160.255

4 + 3 + 2 = 9
9 * 9 = 81
1 / 81 = 12345678
8 / 81= 98765432
98765432 * 9 = 888888888
12345678 * 9 = 111111111  

  1 * 432 = 432

  2 * 216 = 432

  3 * 144 = 432

  4 * 108 = 432

  6 * 72 = 432

  8 * 54 = 432

  9 * 48 = 432

12 * 36 = 432

16 * 27 = 432

18 * 24 = 432
