20-Week Cycle Low in the S&P 500 and US Stock Indexes | Major Low in July

The projected 20-week cycle low arrived today, Thursday, March 19, at 9:35 AM, 118.12 days after the 40-week cycle low on Friday, November 21, 2025, at 10:30—in the expected price zone
 
 SPY (daily candles): 20-week cycle from November 21, 2025 into March 17-19, 2026.
 
  SPY (daily bars): 20-week cycle from November 21, 2025 into March 19, 2026.
 
The final nominal 5-day cycle low within the nominal 20-week cycle was projected from the S&P futures low at the open on Sunday, March 15 at 5:00 p.m. (EDT) into the nested 20-week cycle low on Thursday, March 19 at 9:35 a.m. All projected times and dates of highs and lows in the thick blue summation lines, also shown in the charts below, are derived from current cycle periods and are—within the cyclic composite model—mathematically precise to eight decimal places. Cycle periods during the most recent 20-week cycle have been exceptionally stable and reliable; however, they may contract or expand by fractional harmonic offsets (IBPs and ITWs in Delta-lingo).
Tomorrow, March 20, 2026, at 10:46 a.m. EDT, Mercury stations direct precisely at the spring equinox as the Sun enters 0° Aries, with the New Moon conjunct Saturn and Neptune in early Aries.  
 

This creates a strong geocosmic reversal zone. 
Cycle lows or significant momentum shifts are likely in stocks, metals, grains, and interest-rate markets.

At the same time, March triple witching and options expiration may drive higher volume and support a bullish turn in the US stock market into the next 10-week cycle, with an early April lower high. Lower highs and lower lows are expected into a major low of at least 18-month cycle magnitude by July 2026.

The 60-Year Cycle in US Stock Indexes Revisited | @Fiorente2

Multiple long-term cyclical frameworks suggest that US equity markets may be entering a period of heightened volatility and potential trend transition during 2026. The convergence of several key cycles—including the 60-year cycle, the 22-year cycle, and planetary timing structures involving Saturn, Venus–Uranus, and Jupiter–Saturn—points to a series of possible inflection points beginning in March 2026 and extending through mid-year. Measured from the April 2025 market low, these cycles begin to cluster between March and July 2026. While the February 2026 highs across several indices may represent an important crest, the possibility of cycle inversions or secondary tops remains open.
 
Long-Term Cycles
A central structural reference is the 60-year cycle measured from the April 2025 low. Historically, this cycle has corresponded with major turning points in US equity markets. Notably, the NYSE Composite reached a comparable high exactly 60 years earlier. However, the present market has not yet produced the decline typically associated with this cycle. Instead, market behavior may be following the 22-year cycle more closely, suggesting a gradual and phased decline that could extend into mid-August 2026.

Chart 1

60-year and 22-year cycles measured from the April 2025 market low.

An earlier trough may occur near the end of June, corresponding with approximately 15 degrees of heliocentric Saturn movement measured from the April 7, 2025 low. A late-June to early-July 2026 trough would also coincide with three Venus–Uranus heliocentric oppositions projected from the April 2025 bottom. Within this framework, a shorter-term inflection point appears around March 13, 2026, where a temporary rebound may occur.

Dow Jones Industrial Average
The DJIA exhibits several notable cyclical alignments. The index reached a peak in early February that squared out along a Saturn 1×2 timing line, aligning closely with the equivalent date 60 years earlier. In addition, the heliocentric synodic cycle of Venus and Uranus has tracked recent turning points with remarkable precision, with several inflection points occurring within only a few days of major price reversals.

lines and Venus–Uranus heliocentric aspects with recent market turning points.
 
S&P 500
Applying Saturn timing lines derived from prior highs and lows to the S&P 500—combined with the Venus–Uranus synodic cycle—suggests the index may be declining toward a potential trough around mid-March 2026 during an initial corrective phase. This move could represent the first leg of a broader cyclical decline associated with either the 60-year or 22-year cycle. Historically, these cycles often move in similar directional phases for extended periods, reinforcing the prevailing market trend.

synodic cycle suggest a possible corrective phase developing in early 2026.

Nasdaq Composite
Because the Nasdaq Composite did not exist 60 years ago, the analysis relies primarily on the 22-year cycle. A Saturn planetary fan projected from the January high provides a framework for estimating potential downside trajectories should the current downtrend continue. While the 60-year cycle likely influences the broader market environment, its historical behavior cannot be directly evaluated for the Nasdaq. The Venus–Uranus heliocentric synodic cycle projected from the April 2025 low nevertheless identifies several well-defined inflection points that align closely with recent price movements.

Historical Analogue: 1966 vs. 2026
A striking historical comparison can be observed when examining the 1966 market cycle. In 1966, the Dow Jones Industrial Average reached a peak near 1,000 on February 9 and subsequently declined to approximately 500 by October 10. Overlaying the current 2026 decline from the February 9 peak onto the 1966 pattern reveals a broadly similar percentage trajectory thus far. While historical analogues should be treated cautiously, the comparison provides a useful framework for evaluating the potential magnitude of the present correction.

similarities between the 1966 decline and the current market structure.

Planetary Time Clusters
Market volatility often increases when multiple planetary geometries and transit aspects occur within a narrow time window. The chart below aggregates cumulative hard aspects (0°, 90°, and 180°) of planetary transits together with major planetary geometries. These elements form Time Cycle Clusters, which historically correspond with periods of heightened volatility and increased market activity.

Jupiter–Saturn Structural Cycle
Another important framework is the long-term Jupiter–Saturn cycle. Projecting three Jupiter–Saturn cycles forward from the October 1966 market low produces an alignment in May 2026 corresponding with the original 1966 trough. This alignment could represent either a high or a low. However, because the second Jupiter–Saturn cycle corresponded with a market peak, the probability may favor a cyclical trough around May 2026.

Chart 7
DJIA Jupiter–Saturn Cycle Projection: The chart projects three full Jupiter–Saturn cycles
forward from the October 1966 market low, resulting in a precise alignment marked in May 2026 
that corresponds to the original 1966 trough.
 
The Jupiter–Saturn synodic cycle measured from the October 10, 1966 low—using 90-degree increments—aligned closely with the 2007 market peak, occurring just 13 days before the October 10, 2007 high. Extending the third segment of this cycle projects forward to May 20, 2026, which occurs 18 years and 7 months after the 2007 peak. This represents 1080 degrees of Jupiter–Saturn motion, or three full cycles measured from the October 1966 low.

Since 2018, several major market crests—including those in 2021, early 2022, and February 2026—have aligned with a Jupiter planetary line drawn through these peaks. If this pattern continues, the February 2026 high may represent an interim crest similar to the 2022 peak, with a potential trough forming between April and July 2026.
 The current decline may represent only the initial phase of a broader corrective structure similar to the 1966 market decline, although confirmation remains premature.
Macroeconomic conditions remain relatively resilient, and a rapid improvement in geopolitical conditions could quickly restore bullish sentiment. Such developments could produce a secondary market top within the April–June window. At present, the balance of cyclical evidence suggests that the February 2026 peak may represent an important market crest. However, as with all cyclical models, inversions remain possible and should be considered within the broader analytical framework.

Louise McWhirter’s Forecasting Theory: The US Stock Market Through 2028

Louise McWhirter first presented her theory in her 1937 book "Astrology and Stock Market Forecasting." The model in the chart below demonstrates her claim that primary trends in business volume, finance, and stock prices are systematically delineated by the retrograde motion of the lunar North Node (NN) through the twelve signs of the zodiac. 

The draconic period of the true (osculating) lunar North Node is 18.612958 years (6,798.383 days). On average, 
each 30° zodiac sign is traversed in 566 days, or one year, six months, and nineteen days (1.55108 years).
 
The zodiac wheel is divided into four quadrants: "above normal," "normal," "below normal," and directional zones marked "prices up" (Leo through Libra) and "prices down" (Aquarius through Aries). Prominent arrows labeled "NODE TREND" and "TRANSITION PERIOD" indicate the clockwise retrograde flow, with gradual shifts occurring across defined transition zones near Scorpio–Sagittarius and Taurus–Gemini. Four pivotal turning points occur when the North Node enters the fixed signs, corresponding symbolically to the four heads of the cherubim in the Book of Ezekiel:
 
Aquarius represents the extreme low of business activity and the bottom of the cycle.
Leo signifies the extreme high of business activity and the top of the cycle.
Taurus marks the point at which business activity reaches a normal level while the overarching trend remains downward.
Scorpio indicates business activity reaching a normal level while the trend is upward.
 
The intervening signs provide precise transitional and amplifying effects:
 
► Aquarius: Extreme low of business activity, the bottom of the cycle.
► Pisces: Business activity approaches the bottom of the cycle.
► Aries: Business activity starts to fall below the normal level.
► Taurus: Business activity reaches a normal level, but the trend is going down.
► Gemini: Business continues to fall lower towards the normal level.
► Cancer: Business activity fades from the top.
► Leo: Extreme high of business activity, the top of the cycle.
► Virgo: Business activity goes even higher.
► Libra: Business activity starts to go above the normal level.
► Scorpio: Business activity reaches a normal level, and the trend is going up.
► Sagittarius: Business continues to go higher towards the normal level.
Capricorn: Business activity turns up from the bottom.
 
These phases are not instantaneous but unfold within the broader nodal transit and transition periods shown on the wheel. The following ingress dates, drawn directly from the established nodal cycle, demonstrate the theory’s practical application across recent and forthcoming years:
 
November 11, 2015: NN enters Libra. 
May 9, 2017: NN enters Virgo. 
November 6, 2018: NN enters Leo. 
May 5, 2020: NN enters Cancer. 
January 18, 2022: NN enters Gemini. 
July 17, 2023: NN enters Taurus. 
January 11, 2025: NN enters Aries.  
July 26, 2026: NN enters Pisces.
January 27, 2028: NN enters Aquarius
August 2, 2029: NN enters Capricorn. 
January 26, 2031: NN enters Sagittarius. 
October 2, 2032: NN enters Scorpio. 
April 2, 2034: NN enters Libra. 
October 25, 2035: NN enters Virgo. 
[The intervals reflect the variable motion of the true North Node, ranging from 542 to 623 days while averaging to the theoretical 566.532-day mean.] 
As of March 2026, the North Node resides in Aries, a phase in which business activity begins to fall below the normal level within the “prices down” quadrant. This downward pressure persists until July 26, 2026, when the Node enters Pisces. Throughout the remainder of 2026 and the entire year of 2027, the Pisces transit prevails, during which business activity steadily approaches the bottom of the cycle. The subsequent ingress into Aquarius on January 27, 2028 will mark the extreme low, completing the descent that commenced in Aries.
 
 
McWhirter’s model suggests subdued business volumes, contracting financial activity, and a prevailing downward bias in prices through 2027. While this part of her theory does not specify intra-sign turning points and acknowledges that secondary factors (such as other planetary cycles or policy interventions) may modify outcomes by up to 20%, it supplies a disciplined structural overlay that contextualises shorter-term technical, fundamental, and sentiment indicators.

Solar System Geometry Forecast (Feb 23 - Mar 4, 2026) | Frank Hoogerbeets

 Immediate Events:
February 23: Initial Geometric Convergence: SUN-VEN-NEP align, followed by SUN-VEN-SAT.
February 24: Lunar Criticality: Tight convergence of lunar geometry involving MAR and URA, likely triggering earthquakes in high 5 to 6 magnitude range.
February 25: Seismic Peak Window: SUN-MER-JUP align, potential for larger seismic events (±1 day).
 High-Alert Window:
February 27–28: Major Electromagnetic Peak: Secondary, intense convergence of MAR-URA-JUP grouping, followed by VEN-MER-EAR alignment.
February 28: "Planetary Parade:" visual alignment of six planets (MER, VEN, SAT, NEP, URA, JUP)
.
March 1: High-Magnitude Risk: Seismic response from Feb 27/28 geometry peaks. First of two "worst-case" windows where magnitude 8 event possible.
 Full Moon & Total Lunar Eclipse Convergence:
March 2: MAR geometric connector between JUP and URA. Combined with MER-SUN-MAR alignment, seismic response in magnitude 6 range expected.
March 3: Total Lunar Eclipse & Full "Blood Moon" at 11:33 UTC: Aligns with MER-VEN-NEP conjunctions, creating massive geometric cluster.
March 4–5: Final Seismic Peak: Following eclipse and MER-VEN-SAT alignment, final activity burst expected. Second high-risk window for magnitude 7 or 8 earthquakes, depending on crustal stress levels.

Frank Hoogerbeets' Solar System Geometry Survey (SSGEOS) operates on the hypothesis that specific geometric angles (i.e. 0°, 45°, 90° and 135°) and alignments between planets, the Moon, and the Sun exert electromagnetic and gravitational stress on Earth’s tectonic plates to trigger major earthquakes. Its primary purpose is to provide a global earthquake forecasting system by identifying high-risk time windows through the Solar System Geometry Index (SSGI), a proprietary mathematical tool that monitors planetary conjunctions and lunar positions. The methodology treats the solar system as a massive electromagnetic generator where celestial bodies act as magnets and the Sun as an armature, creating harmonic resonances that destabilize Earth's crustal equilibrium. This remains unrecognized by the mainstream scientific community, which maintains that planetary forces are too weak to influence terrestrial seismicity and that earthquakes cannot be predicted with temporal precision.

3-Step Guide to Market Timing via Astro Cycles | Bradley F. Cowan

If you have ever been curious about how planetary cycles can be used to forecast market trends, but gave up after looking at the astrology books, you are not alone. All those strange symbols and terminology like orbs, houses, rulerships, and transits can be very intimidating. And most people do not want to spend years getting a PhD in Astrology to find a reliable indicator of trend duration.

Figure 1: DJIA Weekly Performance Relative to 30° Heliocentric Saturn-Uranus Movements.
Commencing from the June 13, 1949, major market low.

Like most traders using astro techniques, I started with the classical approach, but soon discovered that by applying a few simple rules you can forecast the timing of market turns quite accurately without needing to know all the details of astrology textbooks. Simply stated, all you need to do is follow a 3-step process:
 
1. Find a clearly identifiable top or bottom on a chart. 
2. Find locations of planets on that date. (Software does this for you.
3. Make time projections by adding multiples of 30 degrees to locations in (2). (Software does this for you.) 

Where this technique differs from classical Astrology is that I do not care what the angles between the planets are at the tops or bottoms, just the distance they travel between two turning points. Classical Astrology tells us to expect changes when two planets are at certain predefined angles of separation. Traditionally, these are 30, 45, 60, 90, 120, and 180 degrees. But it seemed a bit arrogant to me to be telling God that he should do something on our schedule. So I looked instead at what the market was telling us, at where the planets are at the tops and bottoms and use THAT angle as our starting point, regardless of its value.

It's really a simple process that I have successfully applied to my trading for more than 20 years. As an example, we will look at a compressed weekly chart of the DJIA from 1949 to 1975, shown in Figure 1. Applying the 3-step process:

Step 1: Find a major bottom or top. Anytime after 1950 the bottom in 1949 [June 13, 1949] would have been easy to identify as a major bottom, so that will be used as our starting point.
Step 2: Find the locations of the planets at the date in Step 1 [On June 13, 1949, Saturn was at 156.72° and Uranus at 90.62° heliocentric ecliptic longitude, placing them 66.10° apart.] A book called an ephemeris can be used to find the locations of the planets, or there are several software programs that will do the same much faster. All calculations, projections, and charts in this article were made using the software CycleTimer. Because this is a long-term weekly chart, the major cycles will correspond with the 3 slower moving outer planets Jupiter, Saturn, and Uranus. If we were working with a daily chart then the faster inner planets, Mars, Venus, Mercury would be used. Experience has taught that most markets have a strong cycle closely correlated with the heliocentric (viewed from the sun) movement of Saturn relative to Uranus. CycleTimer shows that at the bottom in 1949 the location of Saturn was 66 degrees from Uranus, so that is the cycle origin from which our future cycle dates are projected.
Step 3: Add 30, 60, 90, etc. degrees to the location in Step 2 (66 degrees). Adding 30-degree increments to 66 produces 96, 126, 156, etc. [see table below]. CycleTimer calculates and plots in Figure 1 the dates that Saturn and Uranus were separated by these angles. Six instances of this cycle are shown, or a full 180 degrees. You can see that this cycle closely corresponded with major bottoms at every instance.

Classical Astrological techniques do not identify this cycle because it does not coincide with their predefined angles of 60, 90, 120, and 150 degrees. To improve the probability that your cycles projected into the future are accurate, be sure that at least three instances have occurred in your historical data, not including the starting point. If you have less than three occurrences of the cycle move your starting point back in time until you have at least three. And more importantly, be sure that you have no more than one or two "false positives", that is, a cycle that arrives with no significant trend change. If you follow these rules you will have a high probability that your projected cycle dates will be correct and you can expect a reversal of trend very near that date.

 
Figure 2.A:  90-Degrees heliocentric movements of Mars relative to Uranus in DJIA (weekly bars).
 
Figure 2 shows an example of how I used this 3-step technique to make a real-time forecast in October 2001 for a trend reversal in February 8. Part A (above) is a copy of the chart I posted on the discussion group at HarmonicTiming.com in October 2001 and is available in their archives. Part B (below) shows how the forecast turned out. This cycle uses heliocentric 90-degree movements of Mars relative to Uranus. 
 
Figure 2.B: Daily chart shows the forecast based on Mars-Uranus cycle was accurate to the day.
  
Following the 3-step process and using a cycle start date at the low of November 1997, produces a cycle where all eight recurrences coincided with significant market turns. Therefore, there was a high probability that the next recurrence in the future would also mark a turn. Figure 2.B shows what happened. On February 8 the DJIA bottomed and began an advance of 1100 points, or 11%, in one month. This is another cycle that classical Astrologers would have missed because the angles between Mars and Uranus for this cycle are 7, 83, 173 degrees, which are not any of the classical predefined angles.

Nesting Cycles Amplify Their Net Effect
When you gain more experience using this technique you will be able to watch more than one cycle at a time, which makes sense because there are more than two planets in the Solar System. These multiple cycles can either interfere with each other if they arrive at different times, or reinforce each other if they arrive at the same time. If two or more cycles bottom closely together (nest) they reinforce each other and their net effect is amplified. This results in a sharp panicky sell off followed by a quick recovery producing a "V" or "trauma" bottom.
 
Figure 3: Two cycles arriving simultaneously allowed this forecast to be made one year in advance.
 
Figure 3 shows how I used the technique of nesting cycles to accurately forecast almost one year in advance the June-July 2002 sell off and bottom in stocks. This chart was also posted in the discussion group at HarmonicTiming.com in October 2001 and is available in their archives. To keep the technique simple the cycle start dates were taken out of the textbook Four-Dimensional Stock Market Structures And Cycles and extrapolated into the future using CycleTimer software. The entire projection process took less than one minute.

The Saturn-Uranus cycle we studied earlier during the 1949-1975 period is again used with the origin set at the major low of November 1994. The second cycle is another that has historically produced reliable results, the movement of Jupiter relative to Uranus, or the Jupiter-Uranus cycle. The crash low of October 1987 was used for the origin of the Jupiter-Uranus cycle because it has produced a cycle that has repeated dependably for the last 15 years. When CycleTimer projected these two cycles into the future it showed them nesting (arriving at the same time) in late June-July producing a warning that this was a very high-risk time. The position trader would liquidate any remaining long positions he had before this high-risk time arrived and wait out the storm [...].

Works For Daytrading Too
Daytraders can use the same 3-step technique on intraday data. The major difference between intraday timing and end-of-day is that intraday uses the rotation of the Earth instead of the orbits of the planets. This increases the complexity a little bit because you not only want to watch the smaller cycles but the larger ones as well. A few small cycles arriving intraday will not affect the market much if it is in a strong trend caused by a large cycle. So work with the larger cycles first before moving into intraday. Future articles will focus on intraday timing techniques [which were never published].
