Solar cycle 24, due to peak in 2010 or 2011 "looks like its going to be one of the most intense cycles since record-keeping began almost 400 years ago," says solar physicist David Hathaway of the Marshall Space Flight Center. He and colleague Robert Wilson presented this conclusion last week at the American Geophysical Union meeting in San Francisco.

For 2007, we need to focus on 3 passes of Jupiter square Uranus which is exact on January 22, May 10 and October 9. One of these passes may mark the top of the retrace from the 2002-3003 lows. Jupiter is expansive and Uranus is change. The combination is usually highly speculative. We saw this with Jupiter trine Uranus in November 2005, May 2006 and August 2006. Also with Jupiter oppose Uranus in August 2004. It is possible that this aspect plays out outside of the markets as r(rapid)evolutionary change, but I am assuming it will play out in the markets until proven otherwise.
Also passes 2 and 3 of Saturn square Neptune on February 28 and June 25. It represents conflict between reality and illusion or crushed dreams and will likely impact the housing market more than the equity market. So far it seems to have manifesting as "look we have no inflation".
It may also be playing out as worry and fear that may actually be feeding this extended rally. It is not the general population that is experiencing this. Rather it is a small subset of end-timers, environmentalists (global warming) and conspiracy theorists of different stripes. This kind of energy would have been expected closer to the year 2000 but was preempted by the Y2K mania.
The purpose here is not pass judgment on the beliefs of these groups, but rather to point out that the worry and fear may be fueling the markets in the same way that major disasters in the third world (earthquakes, tsunamis) fuel equities rallies by absorbing astro stress. As long as the focus of this worry and/or fear does not manifest as reality to the general public, the markets will continue to rise.
Another aspect of importance is Jupiter conjunct Pluto in December. Jupiter will cross the Galactic center in December (and Pluto will be there or pretty damn close for most of the year). This aspect has occurred at significant lows, but this time it could be a major top.
Keep in mind that the astro may well support prices into fall 2008 when Saturn oppose Uranus comes into play.
