Eclipse Triggers and the Markets
June 18, 2010
The effect of solar eclipses on the markets takes place not just on the date of the eclipse itself, but also on subsequent dates when transiting planets activate sensitive points in the zodiac that are associated with the eclipse in various ways.
The zodiacal degree at which the eclipse took place is, of course, one of those significant points. The eclipse antiscion, the so-called "solstice point" in the zodiac that mirrors the eclipse point, is also sensitive. The third major point of alignment is the two-eclipse midpoint, which is the halfway point in the zodiac between the positions of two sequential eclipses.
Any transiting planet can trigger one of these sensitive points, typically by fourth-harmonic aspect, but of course the faster-moving inner planets form more frequent alignments, so we are primarily concerned with the triggering effects of the Sun, Mercury, Venus, and Mars.
Each of these planets has a different effect, and each eclipse trigger will impact different markets in different ways as well.
In examining the results of eclipse triggers on the price action in the S+P, for example, we can observe some clear distinctions in the way that each of these planets behaves.
When the transiting Sun triggers eclipse points or eclipse antiscia, the action in the S+P usually has a slightly negative bias. When it connects with the two-eclipse midpoint, however, the transiting Sun creates a decidedly bullish effect.
Mercury acts in just the opposite way, with activations of eclipse points and eclipse antiscia triggering rising prices and activations of two-eclipse midpoints typically bringing price declines.
Venus is fairly consistent in bringing positive price reactions to the S+P, with triggers of the two-eclipse midpoint generating the strongest positive response.
Mars, on the other hand, adds a positive spin when it triggers eclipse points, with a decidedly negative bias kicking in when Mars activates eclipse antiscia and two-eclipse midpoints. The two-eclipse midpoints are in fact particularly sensitive to Mars transits, and significant price declines are not unusual for the S+P immediately following their Martian activations.
If you're actively involved in astro-trading it's a good idea to keep a list of transiting eclipse triggers handy. Knowing potential hot spots ahead of time can alert you to opportunities and help you avoid treacherous situations. You find listings of these trigger points in the various editions of the eclipse reports available from Harmonic Research Associates; the latest one in the series is "The Solar Eclipse of July 2010: Its Impact on the Markets".
