S&P 500 Index vs Equation of Time | 2015 - 2018

The apparent motion of the Sun along the plane of the ecliptic is not regular (Kepler's laws of planetary motion). This non-uniform motion is caused for two reasons: (1.)The Earth's orbit is not circular but elliptical (Eccentricity), and (2.) the Earth's axis is tilted about 23 degrees north and south from the ecliptic (Obliquity). Mean Solar Time assumes that the orbit is circular, that there is no tilt, and that each day of the year is of exact equal length (60 x 60 x 24 = 86,400 seconds). However this is not the case: The real astronomical Apparent Solar Time differs from the Mean Solar Time (the time of our clocks) by the Equation of Time. This equation describes the discrepancy between the Clock Time and the time indicated by a sundial (the word equation is used in the medieval sense of reconcile a difference) in a given place at the same time. The Clock Time actually matches the Apparent Solar Time only during four moments per year (December 25th, April 15th, June 13th, September 1st) while on November 3rd the Clock Time in New York City is as much as 16 minutes behind and on February 11th more than 14 minutes ahead of the real astronomical time. 

Days when the Equation of Time is at zero, at extremes or even at midpoints between peaks and troughs oftentimes coincide with a change in trend in financial markets (at least short term). The Equation of Time for New York City will be at zero on April 15 (Sun) and at a peak during May 14 (Mon). The midpoint between the trough on February 11 (Sun) and the peak on May 14 (Mon) is today, March 29 (Thu).

Declinations of Sun, Moon and Planets 2018 | Parallels and Extremes

The Parallel Aspect is formed between two planets with the same declination or distance north or south of the ecliptic. If the planets are both North or both South of the ecliptic, the parallel aspect is read as a conjunction. If they are the same declination but one is North and one is South, then the contra-parallel is read as a 180 degree opposition. These aspects are strongest when the orb is kept to 1 degree. They can also magnify the intensity of any other aspect between the two planets or points. 

 
On March 27 (Tue) 15:11 Mercury and Venus were parallel of declination at 9.2880 degrees north (HERE).

On April 4 (Wed) 14:30 Mercury and the Sun will be parallel of declination at 5.8257 degrees north.

On April 17 (Tue) 02:18 the Moon, the Sun and Uranus will be parallel of declination at 10.4128 degrees north. 

On April 20 (Fri) 13:00 Mercury's declination will bottom at 0.8124 degrees north while the Moon's declination will peak at 20.4433 degrees north the next morning. 

From May 6 (Sun) to June 8 (Fri) Venus will be out of bound (>23.4347 degrees north or south = beyond Sun's max-declination). Venus will reach maximum declination at 25.0537 degrees north on May 22 (Tue) 3:35 (HERE). Etc.

Europe All Inclusive │ Václav Klaus & Jiří Weigl

[...] comparable to the "barbarian" invasions of
the ancient world that caused large-scale
regression in the development of Europe.

Václav Klaus & Jiří Weigl (Mar 03, 2017) - When the financial and economic crisis of 2008-2009 (probably the biggest in the last 80 years) ended in a stalemate and without the usual healthy recovery, the debt crisis of the hitherto relatively stable Eurozone countries began. Its recent culmination in Greece (again lacking any solution) was another big event. Two years ago we saw the start of the long-prepared and long-expected Ukrainian crisis, often wrongly (probably deliberately) interpreted as a Russian-Ukrainian conflict. Now we witness the migration crisis, which is being tragically underestimated and played down by the European elites. This latest crisis is shaking the continent in an unprecedented way.

All these crises, despite their differences, have a lot in common. Maybe that is why one replaces the other so easily. They serve as yet another example of the irresponsible activism of the political, media and intellectual elites of Europe and the entire West, bringing further limitations to human freedom and political democracy without allowing events to run their natural course.

We are strongly convinced that the current migration crisis is not just another one of the many so-called crises. The ongoing massive migration wave, which is unfortunately still far from reaching its peak, is comparable to the "barbarian" invasions of the ancient world that caused large-scale regression in the development of Europe which it took several centuries to overcome. Later, Europe successfully faced similar attempts by Arabs, Mongols, and Turks, often at the cost of immense suffering and losses. What we see today is a similarly fundamental challenge to the future of Europe.

Unlike in the past, it is unfortunately not clear whether today the will exists to defend ourselves. We lack a consensus on whether there is a need or reason to defend anything. Europe, and especially its "integrated" part, is riddled with hypocrisy, pseudo-humanism and other dubious concepts. The most dangerous of them are the currently fashionable, and ultimately suicidal, ideologies of multiculturalism and human-rightism. Such ideologies push millions of people towards resignation when it comes to concepts like home, motherland, nation and state. These ideologies promote the notion that migration is a human right, and that the right to migrate leads to further rights and entitlements including social welfare hand-outs for migrants. Last but not least, Europe is weakened by the leftist utopia of trying to transform a continent that was once proud of its past into an inefficient solidaristic state, turning its inhabitants from citizens into dependent clients.

The current European elites are behaving irresponsibly by defending and disseminating such ideas, regardless of whether they do so intentionally or not. The consequences of such activities do not yet fully and directly affect them or their families. Their leaders probably think that will never happen because their era will not be followed by infamous Biblical floods (not caused by excessive amounts of water this time, but instead by global warming.)

Triangle, Square, and Hexagon │ Basic Figures Filling the Space

The Equiangular Period Spiral includes periods, distances and velocities. It is delimited by three basic equiangular figures – the triangle, the square (more correctly the rectangle) and the hexagon. Nicolas d'Oresme wrote in his major work Le Livre du Ciel et du Monde (The Book of the Heaven and the Earth, 1377):

» Notwithstanding that He is everywhere, still is He absolutely indivisible and the same time infinite with respect to the three qualities that are divisible in living creatures, which we call duration, position, and power or perfection; for temporal duration of creatures is divisible in succession; their position, especially of material bodies, is divisible in extension; and their power is divisible in any degree or intensity […] Besides the varieties of trinity noted there, there is another which is pertinent to our present discussion, because, in accord with what we said […], there are three regular plane figures – the triangle, the square, and the hexagon – each of which we can imagine to be capable of filling so completely a flat area or surface that it is absolutely impossible that there could be more space to be filled; likewise there are three divine persons, each of whom fills all space. Isaiah the Prophet spoke of them thus: Holy, Holy, Holy, Lord God, etc. all the earth is full of thy glory. And there is one God, who spoke through His Prophet Jeremiah: I will fill the heaven and earth; and of whom Virgil said: All things are replete with Jove. « (Book IV, Chapter 10).

A page from d'Oresme's Livre du Ciel et du Monde, showing the celestial spheres:
Although the order of the spheres is conventional, with the Moon and Mercury
closest the Earth and Saturn and the stars farthest, the spheres are convex upward
centered on God rather than convex downward centered on the Earth.

Astro Cycles and Speculative Markets | Luther James Jensen (1935 + 1978)

Luther James Jensen was born in 1900 and raised in Saint Paul, Minnesota, where he graduated in 1922. He entered the financial sector in New York, and worked for George E. Liggett and Associates until around 1930. Jensen then moved to Kansas, where he opened the Kansas City Bureau of Economic Research in 1931 which was his business for over 25 years. For the Roosevelt-administration he authored economic forecasts (e.g. Major Trends in American Economics from 1492 to 1950: An Analysis and a Forecast), but also wrote on war and peace cycles, radio communication technology or migratory locusts (The Locust Years After 1940). During the same period one of his major private clients became W.D. Gann. Though apparently Jensen himself was never an active trader, already in 1935 he published a booklet called Astro-economic Interpretation: A Mundane Astrology Notebook; Fundamentals of Economic Forecasting which primarily relied upon transiting aspects and horoscopes of companies. Today this very dense book is considered one of the bona fide classics and finest "How-To" guidelines on financial astrology ever written. Throughout the 1940s Jensen wrote the astro-financial column Market Perspective, which was published in the American Astrology magazine.

Soon after W.D. Gann died in 1955, Jensen closed down his Kansas City Bureau of Economic Research to work for B.C. Christopher and Co. in New York from 1957 until his retirement in 1971. Then, in 1978 at the age of 77, Jensen summarized his life's work in a new, updated and expanded edition of Astro Cycles and Speculative Markets. Over 50 years of study, research, and actual application of his concepts in the stock and commodity markets have proven Jensen to be one of the great astro-economic analysts of all time. Jensen took an approach that used standard aspect qualities (trines favourable, squares negative, etc.) and standard planet qualities such as Jupiter increasing prices, Saturn depressing prices. One of the problems with much of this early work is that it gives astrological indicators but provides little verification. In 1981 L.J. Jensen passed away in Shawnee, Kansas. Hard- and e-copies of his Astro Cycles and Speculative Markets are still available today, and his methods applied by some of the most successful private traders and large companies around the globe. The following is Jensen's introduction to financial astrology:
