Astro Cycles: The Trader’s Viewpoint by Larry Pesavento i A\ 1 ssamdvo c\ ING. a TRADERS PRESS, INC? INCORPORATED GREENVILLE, SC 29606 —— Books and Gifts for Investors and Traders THE GREATEST WEAKNESS Ican give you the best rules in the world and the best methods for determining the position of a commodity, and then you can lose money on account of the human element, which is your greatest weakness. You will fail to follow rules. You will act on hope or fear instead of facts. You will delay. You will become impatient. You will act too quickly or you will delay too long in acting, thus beating yourself on account of your human weakness, then blaming it on the market. Remember that it is your mistakes that cause losses and not the action of the market or the manipulators. Therefore, strive to follow rules, or keep out of speculation, for you are doomed to failure. Ifyou will only study the weakness of human nature and see what fools these mortals be, you will find it easy to make profits by understanding the weakness of human nature and going against the public and doing opposite of what other people do. In other words, you buy near the bottom on knowledge and sell near the top on knowledge, while other people who just guess do the opposite. Time spent in the study of price, time and past market movements, will give you a rich reward. W.D.

Know how to use an ephemeris. Identify key planetary aspects & know how to use them. Know where to go for further information. Identify important lunar turning points. Refer to the appendix for key dates. Thave condensed years of personal research in astrology into a few ideas that will help you in timing the stock market and certain commodities. There is no "Holy Grail"--at least I haven't found it--but this will definitely put the probability of success in your favor. I cannot over emphasize the importance of mental conditioning when trading the markets. Trading is 80% mental and 20% technical. You must learn to "master" yourself using a balanced mixture of courage and discipline. Preface The purpose of this book is two-fold. First is to introduce the skeptic to the uncanny harmonic nature of speculative markets. 1 do not know the mechanism of how or why it works the way that it does. However, I know what to do when I see the phenomenon unfolding. Thomas Edison once said “it was not necessary to understand how electricity worked but just that the lights came on when the switch was turned on." Second is to alert the market student as to the significant astrological events that are about to occur. The Appendix lists some of the major financial astrological events through 1989. In these few pages you are going to be exposed to the summation of many years of study by three financial astrologers: the author, Larry Pesavento; Ruth Turner; and Jim Twentyman. Between the three of us, we reconstructed thousands of price and time patterns to determine the validity of planetary forecasting. The man-hours and computer time involved with researching and testing these tenets was enormous. Two years of full-time study was only possible because of the spiritual and financial support of Byron Tucker, Jay Krosp, and Jim Twentyman among others. They were, at first, reluctant to see the results made public; but, after lengthy conversations, it became apparent that most people reading this will be too lazy to thoroughly analyze the material, disbelieve what they see, or some combination of the two. I do not believe in the "Holy Grail" of trading systems. Placing probabilities in your favor is what the intelligent eee speculator will try to achieve. Most speculators would prefer that someone else do the research that is necessary to test a market principle or tenet. This book has polarized longtime friends from different parts of the country to share our ideas and cumulative man-hours to test these tenets. A-word of caution should be inserted at this time. A very small segment of the mathematical mystery of the universe is presented in this book. The goal was to select certain phenomena that occur frequently in order for the "trader-speculator“ to profit. Upon completion of studying this book, I feel the reader will, at least, have "one of his eyes opened" when something significant is happening in the sky.

It was a tip from one of my fraternity brother's father. Tip takers become tip givers and I spread the word faster than Ivan Boesky; the difference was that I knew nothing, inside or outside. As fortune was smiling on me, the stock rose quickly and everyone that bought the stock on my advice was now asking me for another tip. It was the early 1960's and just about any stock you bought went higher. This was a classic example of a famous saying “Don't confuse brains with a bull market." In a mature bull market, investors are sniffing around for undervalued bargains and this was the era of the growth stock. Price earnings ratios of 30 to 1 were common. This process continued through several stocks until the inevitable "Bear market raid” of 1966. Buying on margin is not much fun when prices suddenly drop. I soon realized that investing was more difficult than I had originally anticipated. I was in graduate school at Indiana State University majoring in finance and marketing when I got my first taste of successful investing. One of my professors was a classic chartist and filled his office with graphs, oscillators and stock data. There was a huge weekly chart of silver that fascinated me the first time I went into his office. That chart was about to change my life, and you will see why. Numbers have never scared me. Equations were another story. Seeing this weakness, my professor assigned my MBA thesis in probability theory. I had to mathematically prepare a formula for beating the Las Vegas dice (crap) game. Knowing that it was impossible in the long run, I concentrated on beating the game in the short run. I developed a modified-Martingale betting system, The odds of the thrower hitting a seven on any throw of the dice were 6 “to” 1. The casinos paid 5 "for" 1, which mathematically is 4 "to” 1. This tacit difference in percentages is one of the reasons why the casinos are so plump and luxurious. I learned this lesson faster than any other. Professional gambling never interested me with the exception of poker, a game of skill that requires both good memory and patience: two notable characteristics of a successful speculator. It was during one of my economics lectures that I heard of "Gresham's Law -- Bad money drives out good money.” If the physical value of what the money was made of (i.¢. gold or silver) becomes more valuable than its face value, it would be hoarded instead of being used as a medium of exchange. The year was 1965 and silver was freely traded at around $1.20 to $1.40 per ounce. It was illegal for U.S. citizens to own gold except in the form of rare numismatic gold coins. My economics instructor explained to us that the U.S. Treasury had been making dimes, quarters and half-dollars with 90% silver unti] 1964--A classic example of Gresham's law. He told us that once the price of silver started to rise, the coins that were 90% silver would be hoarded. He mentioned one other fact! The U.S. Treasury had outstanding paper bills that stated on the face “will pay to the bearer on demand in silver." They decided that anyone who wanted silver could present these bills to the Treasury and receive one ounce of silver for each one dollar silver certificate. The window of opportunity to make a fast killing was now open! All anyone had to do was collect silver certificates at $1.00 each and wait to redeem them for silver at the mint. Our class studied this phenomenon and came to the conclusion that it was “the goose that laid the golden egg.” Over the next few months we put together a buying pool for silver certificates. We more than doubled our money in less that one year by taking the silver to Handy and Harmon for cash! After graduate school, ] moved to California and started a family and continued to follow the markets. It was 1970 and the commodity markets were staying in narrow trading ranges for months. We did not have the “exotic” financial futures that the traders of today can enjoy. Pork Bellies were about as exotic as one could expect. I was concentrating in certain stocks and was not doing too well because the stock market had made a major top. Conti- commodity had been placing ads in the Los Angeles Times telling about the coming shortage in sugar. Roy Fassel was the manager of the L.A. office for Conti. Roy, is the best "pure" technical trader I have ever met. He is consistently profitable. At that time, Roy was very bullish on Wheat and his technical methods thoroughly impressed me. We began buying wheat and the higher it went the more excited I became. We didn't know until much later that the Russians were buying everything in sight that was growing. I was making money every month and my thirst for knowledge about this "easy" money was quenchless. Dave Nelson was a veteran of 40 years in commodities and published an advisory service Market Research Associates in Pasadena, California. His office was next door to Earl Haddady and Jim Sibbett. Between these three men and Roy Fassel my initiation into the "technicians" society was complete. Dave was WILDLY bullish on Soybeans! It was now late in 1971 and success had spoiled me. My speculative positions were increasing dramatically. To say my confidence level was high would be an understatement. It should be mentioned that the people who were working or trading through Roy Fassel's office were quite special to the commodity business. Ed Horwitz the “premiere” legal expert in commodity law in the country, as well as a genius at campaign trading, used this office. Working and living with Roy was Rick "Bid a Million" Barnes of Barnes & Co. Rick was the broker for Goldman's Egg City. He left for Chicago in 1972 and has since amassed a huge fortune estimated to be hundreds of millions of dollars. Jay Krosp, one of my closest friends and supporters, made several million in Soybeans in 1977--sold out at the top and bought Jimmy Stewart's 11,000 acre ranch in Elko, Nevada. He still owns the ranch! Jim Twentyman knows more about the life and theories of W.D. Gann than anyone-anywhere! Several other people in that office went on to become members of the exchange or write commodity books. It was really a very special environment. I started my entrance into technical analysis with the classic Technical Analysis of Stock Trends by Edwards and McGee. Shortly after finishing this work I bought James Hurst’s The Profit Magic of Stock Transaction Timing. He was giving seminars in San Francisco teaching the CycleTech method of trading commodities. There were quite a few famous people who attended this event: Walt Bressert of Hal Commodities, Phylliss Kahn of Gann World, John Hill of Commodity Research Institute among others. I studied his principles of harmonicity, syncronicity, periodicity, and half-span moving averages. It made a great deal of sense to me so I decided to try it in the market. I could not Jose! It was now 1972 and all commodity markets were starting up. Inflation was rising, the Arabs raised the price of oil, and Nixon had taken the U.S. off the Gold standard. My system of trading was to use the 12-18 day cycle lows to take advantage of buying opportunities. Unbelievable-- 1 was making more money in one month than my father would make in a year. I had a new house, several new cars, children's education fund and expensive clothes and jewelry. Humility did not have a place in my vocabulary. Then came the summer of 1974! The previous year, soybeans had reached $12.90/bushel-- sugar at 65 cents—wheat $6.00/bushel. The markets were very volatile and margins had been increased because of the higher prices. This did not concern me because I was long and had plenty of money. The first price break came in early summer of 1974 but prices rallied back quickly. Then an interesting phenomenon happened. The markets would come down and make a 12 to 18 day cycle low and begin to rally. But the rally would only last a few days and 10 then fall quickly to the next cycle low. For the first time in three years, I was losing! Enter the fall of 1974. By this time I had lost about half of my fortune. My confidence level was still high. I was long soybeans, soybean meal, and cattle. The markets began to collapse in October. Day after day they went lower for no apparent reason. I did not use stops! Finally, cattle started going down the limit every day. After four or five days of limit down moves, I was wiped out. All mny trading capital was gone! Lao Tse said "when the student is ready, the teacher will appear!" It was about this time that I met John Hill of Commodity Research Institute in Hendersonville, North Carolina. He began loaning me books to read and I started learning about technical analysis. Since I had no trading capital, I had to gain knowledge and I studied with reckless abandon. No trading--just reading and testing. The authors I studied are familiar to most of you: Elliott, Dunnigan, Wycoff, Babson, Williams, Tubbs, Chase, Longstreet, Gartley, Livermore, Gann, Taylor, Issac Newton and hundreds of others. I literally studied everything that I could find. I will always be grateful to John Hill of the Commodity Research Institute for aiding me in my search for knowledge. His library is an endless array of books and systems on trading. By 1975, I had recovered emotionally, but not financially, from my 1974 loss. Jesse Livermore was right when he said that “taking a big loss does damage to the soul." Soybeans were rather quiet at the $5.00 per bushel level and most analysts were looking for lower prices. The reason escapes as to why I was so pu bullish on soybeans but it was the right place to put risk capital. In a few short months I had accumulated about $70,000 in profits. I was spending most of my free time studying and trading the markets so I decided to become a stock and commodity broker. The next six years were very profitable, both from commissions and trading profits. On my fortieth birthday, my wife asked me what I wanted most--my answer was to go to Chicago and trade as a local floor trader! It was 1982, and the foreign currencies and the treasury bills were the crowd favorites. I had leased an IMM seat from Lind-Waldock and proceeded to make money each month by trading on the “floor” for three weeks and in California for one week. It was during this stay in Chicago that I met Byron Tucker. Byron was a floor trader with years of experience in the markets. He changed my life by coercing me into reading metaphysical books that I did not understand. I still don't understand them! However, I became strongly attracted to the writings of Confucius, Lao-Tsu, and Lao-Tse and eventually the Kabala. He is by any measurement a “true” friend and has supported and stood by me during the worst of times. This book would not be written if not for his encouragement. There is one advantage of not having reserve capital and that is it allows one to do research. My interest in astrology started in 1977 while working as a broker at Drexel Burnham. A recently divorced elderly lady came into my office one afternoon and told me that she had been using astrology to trade silver. She asked if I would like to see her do it in real time trading--of course I said 12 yes. Her orders were unusual in that they were “time” orders. "Sell silver at 7:02 am on Monday—Cover short at 10:30 am Tuesday." Her accuracy rate was unbelievable! I continued to work with her for about two months via telephone. One day when I called the lady for her order, I found the phone disconnected. She had moved and left no forwarding address. My efforts to locate her were unsuccessful. She had been living in Santa Monica and went into the Dean Witter office every morning to see how her silver was doing. My guess is that another broker or investor wanted her advice exclusively. My next step was to reconstruct her trades “astrologically.* That was not an easy task! I finally figured out that she did not trade when the moon was “void of course"--moving from one sign of the zodiac to another. This worked well until the vertical rise to $54.00 per ounce. Since that time it has yielded only fair results. The spring of 1983 was the most significant turning point in my life. Unfortunately it was a turn-down. I was "bearish" on stocks in late April 1983. The Standard and Poor's 500 began trading at the Chicago Mercantile exchange in April 1982. It was an immediate success—high volatility, low margin, good liquidity! My position consisted of approximately twenty short S & P June futures contracts and short eight 160 June calls. My trading plan was very specific and I had instituted warning signals if my assumptions were incorrect. As fortune would have it, the market started down and everything looked fine. Within a few days the market had recovered and my position was showing a smail loss. a 13 Thad written notes to myself on what to expect and where my stops should be placed. Eight years had passed since I made a “fatal” market error. The next one turned out to be a dandy! One day that spring, the S&P 500 opened with a large gap and was quickly 500 points higher in a short time. I had this factor in my trading plan--it was a sign to cover shorts and go long. By not acting for several days, the lack of discipline cost me $100,000 plus the damage to my self-confidence. Another cost involved in the lack of discipline was an "opportunity" cost. At the same time of my bearish position in stocks, J was very bullish on soybeans. My capital was depleted but more importantly I was emotionally drained. Soybeans soared $3.00 per bushel without me. I stopped trading for over a year and retuned to Califomia as a broker. Meanwhile, I renewed contact with Ruth Miller, who had been an old friend of my family for over twenty years, She is a retired college professor now raising soybeans in Southern Illinois. One day several years ago she sent me a note in early summer: "October Soybean Oil will be trading at 13.80 on September 15th." I taped the note to my quote machine and waited until September. As September rolled around, I saw that Soybean Oil was getting very close to the 13.80 level. When I called Ruth, she was quite excited and said that she had found some very interesting astrological trading signals. I planned a trip to the Midwest to learn what she had discovered. Spending a week with her opened my eyes about certain planetary configurations that put the probabilities of a successful 4 trade heavily weighted in your favor. Before starting to teach me what she had found she asked that I not divulge her "Corn" trading system. After she showed me the trade I understood why! This event pays the rent every month—and it has worked since comm started trading in the 1800's. Once she pointed out certain things to me I began to see the harmonic relationship of cycles and planets. Having the "Blue Star" program from Matrix Software enabled me to study many different ideas. You will find several of my worksheet charts in the book. They were included to illustrate the time involved in working with financial astrology. It is my hope that after reading this book your interest in financial astrology will be awakened. You will have to read this book more than once to understand the unusual terminology in astrology and the concepts. If you will only follow the Venus- Uranus aspects presented here, it will return the cost of this book many times over. Keep in mind that the most important "tool" in a technician's briefcase is--an eraser. SECTION ONE: OUR SOLAR SYSTEM 16 Section One: Our Solar System Astrology and Our Solar System “Astrology is the Science of Life's Reactions to Planeta Vibrations. “BY of Lif y Astrology, as the interpreter of Nature, shows that the world is conducted according to a well defined plan, that everything is arranged with wonderful order, clearly timed with marvelous precision and effected with unerring accuracy. Nothing happens by chance; there are no accidents in the divine plan; and in reality there is no discord, for nature recognized no distinctions and works only for progress through a refining process which sometimes destroys only to reconstruct with improvement. As students advance in the study of astrology they realize each in his place, according to an orderly or cosmic plan; with opportunities to produce certain results, but it remains for us to determine the quality of these results by refining our reactions to planetary influence. Llewelyn George 7 In this book you are going to be exposed to some of the astronomical (aspects) of the solar system and the astrological (interpretation) of the houses and signs. There are several diagrams in the next few pages that will help you picture where we are and how things fit “harmonically” together. It will be necessary to be able to distinguish the planets, know the difference between a"house” and a “sign,” and recognize when important aspects are forming. Most of this material was researched by “masters” much more adept than this author, but I have tried to put it together so that it may be used in trading. I owe a great deal of gratitude for the use of their graphs and charts. If credit was not acknowledged, it was done so without intent or malice. I base my astro-cycle system on using an ephemeris. There are two ways of looking at our solar system, the geocentric method with the Earth as the center of the universe and the heliocentric method with the Sun at the center. This book will concentrate on the(geocentric)approach because I have found it to be most reliable from a trading standpoint. The earlier researchers such as Langham {Tenséa| Butaney and others used the geocentric method. One could argue for years which is correct. Personally, I follow both but only make decisions based on the geocentric aspects (the only exception is the wheat market). Geocentric makes logical sense because the moon is such an accurate timer in many of the markets. The reader will find diagrams that will be helpful to differentiate the planets, houses, signs, and certain solar and lunar phenomena, 18 PLANETARY ASPECTS There are nine planets that revolve around the Sun: Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto in that order. Most of the planetary aspects presented in this book ~ will be geocentric (with Earth in the center) Aspect pre the SSS Geometric angles that exist between e: The next paragraph will explain why geocentric aspects are used as opposed to heliocentric aspects (Sun-centered). Johann Kepler, the founder of modern astronomy, had this to say about the aspects: "An angle formed on the earth by the beams (rays) of two planets...A most unfailing experience of the excitement of the subliminal natures by the conjunction and aspects of the planets, has instructed and compelled my unwilling belief." Kepler went on to discuss why he used geocentric versus heliocentric aspects. He considered the earth as "a" center of influence and not exclusively “the” center of influence. Asa trader, the geocentric aspects and lunar phenomena presented here will improve your timing. A Giatat chandis directly concerned with the birth of a being —- (i.e. market). It is the planetary chart that exists at the exact moment, date, and place of birth. Natal astrology is one of the more difficult areas of financial astrology because it is subject to a wide range of interpretation. It was omitted from the book because of the complexity in presenting the material without confusing the reader. Geocentric aspects and lunar phenomena can stand alone as useful tools in market timing. The material was written to "Keep It Simple" as much as possible. 19 In the next few pages you will find several illustrations, diagrams and tables that will help the reader to grasp the concepts with relative ease. The section on houses and signs should be viewed as an overview. Once your interest in astrology intensifies you will make a transition into the interpretation of the zodiac. OUR SOLAR SYSTEM Relative Size of the Planets and Their Orbits Planetary vibrations operate according to the grade of intelligence, whether it be through the seed, the animal or the human. The human has the advantage of being able to accept, modify, amplify, diminish or transform the effect of planetary vibrations through conscious exercise of his facilities. Man is free within the confines of Cosmic Law; the degree of freedom he manifests being largely dependent upon what use he makes of his intelligence. Hence the study of planetary aspects is important.

Special attention must be given when several planets are all in the same house. An excellent example of this was August 1987! Five planets were in the sign of Leo as the stock market was making its top. The October low of 1974 in the stock market was accompanied by four planets in the sign of Virgo! 26 STANDARD ASTROLOGICAL SYMBOLS Cage oon a2~13 / yy SSF | a S- LT gs Romy THE ZODIACAL SIGNS Symbol _Sign Symbol Sign - Anes == Libra zB Taurus Te Scorpio bi Gemini A Sagittarius = Cancer VO Capricorn “i Leo an warius Tm Virgo [oa Pisces 27 THE RELATION OF SIGNS AND HOUSES MIOMEAVEN cuse oF Fest se wore Pa? oy VS, & EXPLAINING DISTINCTION BETWEEN A "HOUSE " AND A "SIGN" Signs are the twelve divisions of the Zodiac.

The moon is going from one Si; @ Short period of time and usually lasts a few hours. During this time markets are unstable and may experience many wild price swings. How to Use the Lunar Phenomena in Timing (s) Look for several lunar events occurring on the Same day (i.e. true node change, full moon, and maximum declination.} Use any combin- ations of the five events. Usually you will find two events at a critical timing day. B. __Itis of great significance when these lunar events happen on the same day as significant planetary aspects (angles). As an example, examine the top in Gold on December 14th 1987: 1. Venus square Jupiter 2. Moon on equator "0" 3. Quarter moon The same phenomenon occurred on the high in the stock market on August 24th-26th 1987. 1. Three major conjunctions 2. Moon on equator "0" 3. True moon node going direct | The rally high of October 5th, 1987 just Preceding the “panic.” 1. Venus sextile Uranus 2. Moon on equator "0" 3. Full moon 4. Lunar eclipse--Oct. 7th Lunar cycles exhibit an unusual characteristic that bears : watching. Once the market has shown a tendency to turn ona certain phenomenon (i.e. apogee or maximum declination) it remains that way for at least one or two lunar cycles. If you will take some time to familiarize yourself with these ideas, I think you will find that you will be amply rewarded. "Defy human nature--Do the work!

The Moon's movement towards a Full Moon is referred toasa “waxing” Moon and its movement toward a New Moon is called a "waning" Moon. The "Farmer's Almanac" mentions the New Moon & Full Moon aspects to its readers as an aid in planting and harvesting. Twenty eight days are needed to complete this cycle.

ZA Sep ccT. «= NOY, DEC JAN FEB OMAR APR MAY. = JUN JUL AUG SEP OCT of History of Astro-economics Luther J. Jensen Luther J. Jensen wrote Astro Cycles and Speculative Markets in He was able to accomplish something that very few astrologers have been able to do. He was widely quoted in financial circles and in the press. His book is still the starting point for almost everyone interested in learning Financial Astrology. It takes the reader from natural laws of vibration through sun spots, and planetary cycles. Jensen spent considerable time with the Zodiac and mentions the various houses and signs, The book is easy to understand but not in the first reading because the subject matter is foreign to most students. If Luther Jensen had access to our present day computer systems, he would have been able to accomplish a considerable quantity of research on astrology. Jensen's handling of the Signs, Rulerships and Houses was presented like the expert he had become. The book is a must in any library of financial astrology. Lt.Cmdr. David Williams Financial Astrology by Lt.Cmdr. David Williams is the best book on the subject in over 50 years. Cmdr. Williams compiled significant economic cycles and how they related to business cycles. He explains how the ancients were aware of the Zodiac and their signs as early as 6000 B.C. His concise historical journey through ages of transformation in astrology is very 58 interesting. Sun spots are explained in several areas of the text. One realizes the power of our solar activity as it relates to weather, tele-communications, health problems, climatology, and agriculture. The book is packed with scientific proof of the effect on business and other economic activity by the Sun and planets, Cmdr. Williams, was a tireless researcher and because of his knowledge in this subject was able to research several of the most important business cycle theories based on planetary phenomena. I will list a few of the ones that, in my opinion, were most important to understanding financial astrology. Notable Works from "Financial Astrology" 1, Benner's Prophesies of Future Ups and Downs in Prices by Samuel Benner. Sam Benner studied cycles in pigiron, corn, hogs, and in general business conditions. He compared Jupiter's Major Equinox of 11.86 years with his 11 year cycle and found them to be similar. 2. The Origin of the Eight Year Generating Cycle, a paper published by H.L. Moore of Columbia University dealt with the Venus, Earth and Sun in inferior conjunction. This was also correlated to Sun spots. 3. Louise McWhirters, McWhiter Theory of Stock market Forecasting (1938) is based on the 19 year cycle of the Moon's north Node as it passes through the Zodiac. If her research proves to be correct, our current economy has peaked and we are already in a severe recessionary period. 59 4. The Jupiter cycles with Saturn and Uranus are. extensively over long periods of time. This section was a real eye opener for me because I began to look Some of the examples that appeared to be incorrect were in actuality wonderful trading opportunities from a technical standpoint. The stock market was doing the opposite of what was to be expected but that fact was telling me to expect the opposite to occur. Cmdr. Williams compared these aspects to times associated with financial panics. 5. Edward Dewey and Edward Daiken collaborated on Cycles The Science of Prediction in 1947. This book is paraphrased by Williams into the 9.2 year market cycle and the 38 to 41 month market cycle. All I did was correlate the planetary cycles within this time frame and discover the certain time periods of each of these cycles. Dewey, Daiken and Cmdr. Williams have done more towards legitimizing astro-economics than anyone in recent times. 6. The Mars-Jupiter aspects of conjunctions and opposition were discussed as they related to times of fear and panic. Again Williams was warning this “aspect* due in the fall of 1987, where prices would fall precipitously. Five years before it happened! There is sc much important material covered in "Financial Astrology” that it is an injustice to highlight minute parts. It is the true treasure chest of astrology. 60 James Mars Langham James Mars Langham wrote several books on the subject of planetary causes of price trends. They have long since been out of print, He was another tireless researcher and concentrated on the aspects of several combinations of planets (i.e. Mars opposition Uranus, Venus opposition Uranus, and many others). It is an excellent book of reference to the early 1900's price behavior. All of Langham’s assumptions were tested using the Blue Star software program in order to determine the highest probability trades. They work the same way now as they did in the 1930's. W.D. Gann ‘W.D. Gann has received more fame in the last ten years than he did when he was alive. In all my years of study no one has as much mystery surrounding him. He left few clues to his approach to astrology. The Tunnel Through the Air is reported to be an autobiographical sketch of Gann's early years. This book mentions the Bible and natural laws of harmony, cause and effect. He made reference to the solar and lunar cycles of various years and their relationship to prices. If a non-astrologer were to read the book it would most probably mean very little as a timing tool. Ona few of his old charts were comments such as “the faster moving planets are the key," and "the retrograde motion of Mercury will affect the trend in grain prices.” Both of these comments prove that Gann was an astute financial astrologer. It is mind-boggling to think what he might have accomplished with the 61 use of modern day computers. Many students of Gann have twisted and massaged many of his ideas, but the quality of his basic geometric approach to price and time cannot be denied. The bottom line is this--W.D. Gann left very few clues to his “astrological” approach to the markets. Gann published The Magic Word i just four years before his death, This work, in my opinion, was the culmination of Gann's study in Pythagorian mathematics, the Bible, the Kabala, and Freemasonry. Iwas his most important work! George Bayer The original research of the Mercury-Jupiter aspects and Mercury-Saturn aspects was done by George Bayer. (This is covered in greater detail in the "Wheat” division of this book.) He also published under several pseudonyms. Should you ever come across one of his books, it would be wise to buy it--they are worth hundreds of dollars to collectors. George Bayer studied the Wheat market from the 1400's until his death in 1949. He lived in Monterey, California, and would go east when the time to trade Wheat was near. Evidently, he was a member of the exchange and liked to visit his comrades. Norman Winski Norm Winski is a member of the Chicago Board Options Exchange (C.B.O.E.). As I understand, he only trades stocks and bonds using financial astrology. Reports of his successful trading have appeared in the press because of his unique approach. He has made astrology appear to be the useful tool it is. Winski is 62 well respected by his collegues. Although I have never personally met the man, our phone conversations have always been pleasant and informative. He has the most extensive financial astrological library that is in existence. He purchased the Evangeline Adams collection. Evangline Adams was the personal astrologer of J. Pierpont Morgan. When asked by reporters about financial astrology, J.P. Morgan replied "Millionaires don't use astrology, but billionaires do!" Norman Winski can be reached at CBOE #802 400 So. LaSalle, Chicago, IL 60605. Jack Gillien Jack Gillien wrote Key to Speculation on the New York Stock Exchange. He is a syndicated columnist and has received more recent publicity than anyone in financial astrology.

Mason can be reached at Harmonic Research 650 Fifth Ave. New York, NY 10019. 65 Fibonacci and Planetary Cycles Many of the planetary (synodic) cycles conform to the fi Fibonacci Summation Series. A brief discussion of the Fibonacci number sequence follows, however those of you wanting to expand your knowledge in the subject to improve your trading should contact Ed Dobson at Traders Press P.O. Box 10344 Greenville S.C, 29603. He provides an excellent reference source of the use of Fibonacci numbers and their application to price action. Leonardo Fibonacci de Pisa was a 12th century Italian mathematician. He spent several years in Egypt studying the pyramids, to arrive at his Fibonacci number sequence. The sequence of Fibonacci numbers is as follows: 0,1,1,2,3,5,8,13,21,34,55,89,144 —- infinity (0+1=1)...+1=2)...(1+2=3)...2+3=5)...ete 5+8 = 625 2.618 - 1,618= 1 8+13= .615 1.618 -.618 = 1 13421 = .619 1- 618 = .382 21434 = 618 2,618 x 382 = 1 34455 = .617 2.618 x .618= 1.618 55 +89 = .617 1,618 x 618 = 1 89+ 144 = 618 618 x 618 = .382 144 + 233 = 618 1.618 x 1.618 = 2.618 Robert Prechter's newsletter, The Elliott Wave Theorist has popularized the use of these Fibonacci ratios in market analysis. 66 Mr. Prechter’s book the Elliott Wave Principle will give the interested student a good start in studying the mathematics of the market place. It is an absolute must in any market technicians library. (New Classics Library Box 1618 Gainsvifle, GA. 30305). “Applications Manuai” on the use of Fibonacci numbers in tra ing using a proportional divider. (8851 Albatross Dr. Huntington Beach, CA 92646). The trading signals that are discussed in a later section of this book are based on the Fibonacci number sequence. After researching hundreds of price patterns over a twenty year period these two were the most consistent. The importance of Fibonacci numbers cannot be over- emphasized! It's relationship to natural harmonic vibration is not by chance. It was the Venus-Uranus synodic period of 225 days (365 days X .618) that awakened me to the market timing potential of astrology. As you look at each of the planetary combinations discussed in this book you will see this Fibonacci relationship reappear time and time again. ‘Those of you who are interested in learning more about pattern recognition techniques should consider John R. Hill's classic Stock and Commodity Market Trend Trading by Advanced Technical Analysis. He can be reached at Commodity Research Institute P.O. Box 1866 Hendersonville, N. Carolina 28739 SECTION TWO: THE EPHEMERIS 67 Section Two: The Ephemeris The Ephemeris Explained The Ephemeris is the book that gives the exact location of the planets of our Solar System. The various astrological ephemerides are compiled from the National Almanac issued by the U.S. Government. It will be necessary for you to purchase an ephemeris. There are several vendors that make this data available. I strongly recommend that you purchase The American Ephemeris 1981 to 1990 from A.C.S. Publications P.O. Box 16430 San Diego, California 92116-0430 ($6.00). This book is constantly by my side and I usually wear one or more out each year. ‘When you finish reading and studying this section of the book, you will be able to go to an ephemeris and understand what you are reading. My thanks to Neil Michelsen of A.C.S. for his permission to use his ephemeris in our examples. I chose to go through each important segment of the ephemeris on one page. This keeps you from leafing through pages trying to find something. The chart examples also have indications of where to look in the ephemeris. You will become accustomed to using this book daily. Major research projects that include years of data are Ae 68 \ best accomplished by the use of "Blue Star,” which is a computerized ephemeris. The ephemeris is separated into four part: N41 Longitude--Measurement along the ecliptic in _ terms of signs and degrees from the first point of the zodiac. V 2. Declination and Latitude--The degree of distance any place north or south of the earth's of 1: th th of Ih": equator. v3. Daily Aspectarian--Indicates aspects (angles) ofall lanets and the time it occurs in G.M.T. Greenwich Mean Time) V4. Lonar phenomena--Apogee, Perigee, Full and New Moon, Maximum Declination Let's take a close look at what this ephemeris is telling us. The word cycle is derived from the Greek word for “circle.” We know that the book measures the distance between planets “exactly,” What we must determine is whether these planets have an effect on prices of certain stocks and commodities. This task will not be easy because you must learn the terminology--THEN you examine the price and time of each market. At times you will get frustrated and confused. Put the ephemeris aside for awhile and return to it at a later date. "Knowledge of astrology makes man aware of the time and character of the operations of nature and so provides him the OPPORTUNITY to think and plan, BEFORE it is time to ACT; and to use discrimination in his reactions to planetary aspects, in accordance with the extent of his awareness and ability to control and determine his actions."

What I am going to discuss next is a situation that occurs infrequently in the daily search for clues to price-trend changes. This situation occurs when only L or 2 planetary aspects exist on a particular day; or just the opposite occurs—a large number of aspects are present. As XN The average number of planetary aspects is approximately eight. Whenever you see a very small number of aspects (3 or less) or a large number of aspects (14 or more,) you can assume that something very dramatic is about to happen in the stock market. Why this affects the market I am not sure, but my opinion is that it works like a magnet. If there are very few aspects on one day, then the larger astro-cycle will take hold and pull the market either up or down.

SECTION THREE: PLANETARY ASPECTS AND SYNODIC PERIODS 86 Section Three: Planetary Aspects and Synodic Periods | Venus revolves around the Sun in 61.8% of 1 year (365 days). Uranus revolves around the Sun in 84 years. These two planets possess the unique Fibonacci relationship of -618! Figure I shows the relationship of Venus and Uranus when apart). This is how it would appear from the Earth looking up into the sky. It takes 225 days for Venus and Uranus to make a complete cycle from conjunction (0%) to conjunction (0°). If we take 365 days and multiply it by .618 the answer is 225 days. When I first witnessed this relationship it was apparent that the cyclical implications would be revealing because of the Fibonacci mumber sequence. Donald Bradley in Stock Market Prediction by LLewellyn Publications mentioned this effect on stock prices when Venus and Uranus were at certain critical degrees (aspect). After studying this phenomenon for many months, cerlain applications became apparent from the trader's viewpoint: 87 The aspects were so accurate as a short-term trading and timing device that they could be used in trading stock index futures (636 aspects were tested, accurate to 92% +/- two days). y The sample size was excellent! Over 600 aspects in a 90-year period (1898-1987). Some aspects were associated with bullish price action, and others with bearish price action. Conjunctions (0°), sextiles (60°) and trines (120°) are associated with strength in the stock market. Squares (90°) and oppositions (180°) are associated with weakness. It was usually a short term (3 to 10 day) trend change, but more than 50% of the time the effect lasted several WEEKS, The amount of research to verify this idea was frightening, but once I had seen the stock market reverse direction on these days, the question had to be answered. I have studied the technical implications of cycles in stocks and commodities for over twenty years, and I must admit that it is the single most accurate short- term timing mechanism I have researched. Figure II shows the last six months of the Standard & Poor's 500 futures index. Notice how the market abruptly changes trend on these days. How a trader may enter the market armed with this knowledge is a subject that deserves special attention. Trend changes occurred on October Sth, 1987, at Venus Trine Uranus (120°); November 24th, 1987, at Venus Conjunction Uranus (0°); January 14th, 1988, at Venus Sextile Uranus (60°); February 9th, 1988, at Venus Square Uranus (90°); and March 7th, 1988, at Venus Trine Uranus (120°) Students of W.D. Gann have learned to Tespect these angular relationships. Figure HI shows that certain aspects have a Positive effect and others have a negative effect. For your convenience, I have listed the next six Venus-Uranus aspects in 1988. The serious market student owes it to himself to mark these days on his calendar: May 19th Venus Opposition Uranus (180°) May 27th Venus Opposition Uranus (180°) Aug 3rd Venus Opposition Uranus (180°) Oct 2nd Venus Trine Uranus (120°) Oct 28th Venus Square Uranus (90°) Nov 23rd Venus Sextile Uranus (60°) The first three aspects are the same because of the retrograde _ motion of Venus or Uranus. My experience tells me that they will probably be more powerful than usual because oF HIS TOROEERIS grade motion. Watch for changes in short-term trend on these dates! The S&P 500 chart on Figure I indicates the last two solar eclipses. Although eclipses bear no relationship to the Venus- Uranus aspects, eclipses are so astrologically significant that they were included in the chart. Several other researchers have mentioned this Venus-Uranus } correlation, such as James Mars Langham, Cyclical Market Forecasting Stocks and Grain and T.G. Butaney i Forecasting Prices. 89 THE MAJOR ASPECTS Figure I: This graph shows the relationship of Venus opposition Uranus, Planet Earth would be in the center.

SEP oct Noy DEC Jupiter-Satu The Jupiter-Saturn combination has been reported as one of the best indicators of long term economic activity. Lt-Cmdr. David Williams in Financial Astrology shows that the Jupiter- ‘Saturn COujITCtION cycle was the most accurate of the astro- economic cycles he researched. From a trader's standpoint these are slower moving planets and their effect may take months to form. Jupiter revolves around the Sun in 11.8 years. Saturn completes the revolution in 29.4 years. Their synodic period is 19.8 years. The Appendix lists the Jupiter-Saturn aspects for your convenience. It is my opinion that the Jupiter-Saturn aspects would be difficult to use in trading because of their long term implications. One should keep in mind when these aspects occur because of their significance to overall economic activity. Jupiter and Saturn are the largest planets in our solar system and Saturn is the only planet whose magnetic pull is touched by another planet, that planet being Jupiter. 95 ‘ Nenus-Pluto .> The planets Venus and Pluto have an average synodic period of 61.6% of one year! In other words it takes approximately 225 days for the two planets to meet at conjunction (0°) and travel through sextile (60°), square (90°), trine (120°) opposition (180°) and back to conjunction. These two aspects are excellent short term trend indicators in the stock market and gold market, especially the gold market. The high in gold in 1980 was associated with Pluto moving into “retrograde motion” and several major aspects of Venus. It is my opinion that the reason the Venus-Pluto aspects are so dependable is due to the Fibonacci relationship of the two planets. Whatever the reason may be, they still offer a powerful tool in timing gold and stock market transactions. The aspects usually work within two days of the exact aspect and the effect lasts for 5 to 10 trading days. GOLD NY). DECEMBER 1983 COMMODITY EXCHANGE. INC.

That is the length of time necessary to travel from conjunction (0°) through the other aspects and back to conjunction again. Uranus is known as the "market" planet. Saturn is rejated 7) to “change,” A great deal of publicity has been made regarding - the Nostradamus prediction of a great earthquake in the New City, When Saturn and Uranus are in Capricorn in May 1988. This quote is paraphrased from one of the translations of his quatrains. One must remember that Nostradamas was not infallible. Not all of his predictions came true--at least not yet! Part of the problem lies in the translation of his quatrains. Was Los Angeles the New City? I only bring this to your attention to alert you to the use of astrology in your daily life, if in fact you use it at all. It is my opinion that it is a guideline for decisions and nothing more. People should not rely on anyone's interpretation of the stars to rule their lives. Many factors control our destiny! The stars impel--they don't compel! Vranas makes a complete cycle (revolution around the sun} in _is 55. years! Can this be the “Kondratieff™ cycle? The cycle is so long that a large sample size is not possible at this time. We do know that the economic conditions that prevail near the major aspects of Saturn-Uranus correlate to a "Bullish" or "Bearish" scenario, For example, the period of 22 1/2 years is a half-cycle of Saturn-Uranus or opposition (180°). If we look at the time frame of this opposition, November 8, 1966, it correlates to the 108 "October Massacre” of that year. When you add the twenty two and one half years back into the cycle you come out to 1987-1988 which is very close to the Saturn-Uranus conjunction. Will anyone argue that October 1987 was a "Massacre"? ‘These planets move so slowly that the event will not be triggered on the exact planets are the key," and Saturn and Uranus move very slowly. Louise McWhirter spent a great deal of time researching the Saturn-Uranus aspects. In McWhirter Theory of Stock Market Forecasting, the author examines the economic correlations at the time of the Saturn-Uranus aspects. She claimed that the Satum- Uranus conjunction and oppositions were responsible for economic prosperity or recession. James Mars Langham referred to the Saturn-Uranus cycle as the single most accurate barometer of economic activity. Both McWhirter and Langham wrote their books in the late 30's and did not have the advantage of seeing their hypotheses fulfilled. Their ideas have been substantiated over the past fifty yea"s as longer cycles of prosperity and Tecession correspond to aspects of Saturn-Uranus. Cmdr. David Williams completed a 200 year study of the major aspects of Saturn-Uranus and found them to be an accurate predictor of business activity in 7 out of 10 cases. ‘This material is published in his book Financial Astrology. As an investor it would be beneficial to keep in mind the Saturn-Uranus cycle! If the effects of Saturn-Uranus in conjunction (0°), that occurred in February 1988, begin to unfold it would indicate a severe economic contraction is upon us. There 109 are several factors that may “trigger” the event in my opinion. First; the Japanese stock market has not experienced a prolonged "Bear" Market since it opened 45 years ago (There is that number 45 again). Most of the trader investors are inexperienced and will not know how to handle a "bear" market. The Japanese stock market does not allow short selling. Short selling acts as a buffer when stocks go down because shorts buy back their borrowed stock, thus supporting prices. Short selling also prevents stocks from rising too rapidly. Second, an unexpected economic down turn could come from "nature" (i.e. earthquake, drought, flood, disease etc.). Economic contraction does not have to be associated with personal financial adversity, Money can be made by knowing how to sell short and how to use option strategies. Clearance sales will abound in real estate, art, vacation spots and many luxury items if a severe recession appears, Keep in mind that the use of astrology should not be viewed with a “fatalistic" outlook on life, Opportunity always presents itself--even in adversity. "Diamonds are polished by grit, man by adversity." Those of you reading this book are fortunate enough to live in a free and prosperous world. 110 J upiter-Urams Jupiter is the largest planet in our solar system. It takes approximately 11.8 years to revolve around the sun. In contrast, the planet Uranus takes_84 years to complete the cycle. Together they combine into the most "researched" of all astro-economic cycles. The synodic period of Jupiter-Uranus is 13.8 years. Squares (90°), conjunctions (0°), and oppositions (180°) occur at Student of Fibonacci numbers increase his interest in this cycle? Jupiter is referred to as the “money” planet and Uranus as the "market" planet. This combination is the reason for the popularity of the 41 month cycle. All serious students of astrology have examined this cycle and have determined its ability to predict business activity. Over 250 different types of economic data respond to this 41 month cycle phenomenon. | The Jupiter-Uranus aspects should be followed closely by the | trader because of their importance to business activity. However, it is not to be used as a short term trading mechanism. | have found that after studying over 70 years of these aspects, it may take as long as 2 months for their effect to take hold because the two planets are moving so slowly. One of the reasons for the strong bullish move in 1987 was the positive trine aspect (120°) in June of 1987. After studying the past results of the Jupiter-Uranus aspects, the astute trader will mark these aspects on his charts for future reference. The dates are listed in the Appendix. The Foundation for the Study of Cycles has done an excellent job at analyzing the 40 month cycle phenomenon. 11 AUD OPTION MARKET Y HIGH, LOW--FRIDAY CLOSE COMOOITT PERSFECTIVEVCHICADO.

It takes that long for the two planets to start at conjunction 0° and complete one cycle. In sidereal time in terms of tropical years, Mars revolves around the Sun in 1.8 years and Uranus 84 years. As Mars is moving much faster, this cycle would be classified as an intermediate term trading cycle. Once you study the aspects of Mars-Uranus at conjunction 0°, sextile 60°, square 90°, trine 120° and opposition 180° and place these times on the Swiss Franc, Deutche Mark, Japanese Yen and S&P 500 you will see the accuracy of this combination. Trend changes at Mars-Uranus aspects are quite sudden and usually last several SPST pee weeks. This should not be surprising to the student of astrology because Uranus is “the financial” planet and Mars is the planet for “energy, activity, and strength.” W.D. Gann left a very sparse legacy in his writings and teaching on the subject of astrology. Only a few brief hand written sentences were found. One of these sentences referred to In addition, his last published work The Magic Word was also a book filled with the summation of his philosophical ideas. At that time in his life, Gann had studied Pythagorean mathematics, the Kabala and the Bible quite extensively. It is my opinion that this is why he mentioned Mars on his charts, because it is thought to be the Biblical planet. The relationships of the aspects is the same for Mars-Uranus as it is for the others--conjunctions, sextiles, and trines are positive and squares and oppositions are negative, One must 113 constantly keep in mind that although these aspects are associated with positive or negative bias, they can reverse their roles. It is at this time that the trader should be prepared to act the opposite of the norm. For example, conjunctions are usually positive, but if the currencies are dropping into a low as the conjunction is forming between Mars-Uranus, one should look for a buying opportunity. The timing effect of the Mars-Uranus aspect most often occurs within a two to three day period. There have been occurrences where the aspects take seven days to trigger a trend change. James Mars Langham in Cyclical Market Forecasting of Stocks and Grain referred to the Mars-Uranus aspect "as the little wheel (Mars) within the big wheel (Uranus).” Langham thought that this was a significant combination and the statistics substantiate this fact. Mars-Uranus is an excellent market forecaster approximately 80% of the time. A close examination of the currency charts in this book will give credibility to the accuracy of the Mars-Uranus aspect as a timing mechanism. 114 SWISS FRANC INTERRATIONAL MONETARY MARKET WEEKLY HIGH, LOW--FRIDAY CLOSE TT i Be Somontty renereer:verentcnea.

A few years ago I was talking to Rich Anderson about the gestation and life cycles in cattle. Rich is a commodity broker, speculator, and cattleman from Minneapolis and South Dakota. I've never figured out which hat he wears the most. After talking to him, I programmed “Blue Star" to pull out all of the combinations relating to cattle and the planet Saturn. Within a short time it was apparent that the Mars- Saturn relationship was very important to the timing of Live Cattle futures. It does not work in Pork Bellies. The only thing I've found astrologically that works in Pork Bellies isa “broken" crystal ball. Ifyou find one please call me. The synodic period of Mars-Saturn is approximately 2 years, plus or minus a few days. This is about the time cattle need to gain weight from birth to slaughter. This two year synodic period in Mars-Saturn was "accidently" spotted by Blue Star. ‘The Mars-Saturn aspects also have a profound effect on the Foreign Currencies (i.e. the U.S. dollar). it is most probably due to the influence of Mars.

It is based on the heliocentric positions of the planets Mercury, Jupiter and Satu. You must use a Heliocentric Ephemeris to find the date that planetary aspects occur. For your convenience, the Appendix in the back of the book lists these important dates for trend changes in Wheat. The original research of the Mercury-Jupiter aspects and Mercury-Satum aspects was done by George Bayer. He is referred to in Section One. When the planet Mercury makes an opposition (180°) or conjunction (00) with Jupiter (heliocentrically), you should expect a top in Wheat. If Mercury makes an opposition (180°) or conjunction (00) with Satum (heliocentrically), you should expect a bottom in Wheat. The timing of this trade is plus or minus two days. There are a series of events when occurring at the same time usually lead to dramatic price changes in Wheat: LL Mercury conjunction or opposition Satum or Jupiter (Heliocentric) 2.

Wave enthusiasts. 2. Timing of price trend changes involving “combust” must be associated with one or more lunar phases (i.e. Full Moon at Apogee or Maximum Declination). 3. Entry and Leaving exhibit the greatest thrust! Again, it is usually necessary to have an associated junar phase present at the time of Entry or Leaving. Combust (wercvy -Vews Gv sacton Ascecr) The planets Mercury and Venus are the closest to the Sun. ‘They travel quite rapidly around the Sun, Mercury in 88 days and Venus in 225 days. Combust is the conjunction (0°) of Mercury and Venus with a 13° orb for Mercury and an 8° orb for Venus. This was described by T.G. Butaney in Forecasting Prices. There is an artist's conception of how "combust" appears from the Earth on the following page. The Appendix shows 1988 and 1989 as periods of “combust.” Three phases are shown: Entry, Exact, _ and Leaving. Mercury and Venus must have a tremendous effect on the bombardment of solar rays on the earth. As they move back and forth between the Sun and Earth it makes sense that Mercury and Venus affect weather patterns and growing conditions on earth. These rays must affect the psychology of traders! Butaney was very adamant concerning these conditions! Asa grain and soybean trader you must be aware when “combust” is in effect.

The market started the year with the most explosive upmove ever experienced in the stock market. Was it a coincidence that the United States experienced the highest water tides in 100 years on December 31, 1986? Jupiter and Uranus were forming a major bullish aspect (trine 120°) June 21st, 1987, and the market went uninterrupted for eight months. As August was approaching the financial astrologer would have been excited about the plethora of ominous signs that were occurring near the same time. What really puzzled me was that the publicity about these events was covered extensively in the press. Reporters described the phenomenon as "Harmonic Convergence.” However, I know of only two who were adamant about this as being the "Final" top, Mason Sexton of Harmonic Research and myself. I knew that I was right because it was so difficult to convince people even though the facts were there. 133 “Harmonic Convergence" was referred to by the Mayan calendar and the Hopi Indian calendar. It is the formation of six planets all in conjunction (0°) within days of one another: eEeEOoeereee ee rc—x§——EE Mercury conjunction Venus Sun conjunction Mercury Mercury —_ conjunction Mars Sun conjunction Venus Venus conjunction Mars Sun conjunction Mars addition, Mars was trine ~) Jupiter adding further bullis! sentiment, In addition, four of these planets were in the same zodiac sign of Leo--which is associated with power, The market began to roll over on the New Moon of August 24th and finished at the crossing of the Moon's true node at the ecliptic on August 27th. ‘The only time I have seen this many conjunctions in one week was the low in October 1974. What was even more remarkable was the symmetry that the market was revealing (illustrated in the following table): 8 years 1982 to 1987 = 5 years 1984 to 1987 = 3 years THAT IS ABOUT AS PERFECT A SEQUENCE OF FIBONACCI NUMBERS AS ONE COULD EXPECT.

Normally, each summer Venus reaches its maximum north declination for the year at from 23 to 25 degrees north. This means that it rises and sets far north on the horizon, and is above the horizon each day much longer than it is below. In early May, 1988, however, Venus reaches 27944' north, the maximum in an eight-year declination cycle. In 1987, Venus rose and set north of the equator from March 12 to August 7--a total of 149 days. In 1988 it will do so from February 11 to November 1--a total of 264 days. The table below lists Venus’ north declination maximums since 1796. As you can see,this effect has been slowly getting more extreme over the past few hundred years. VENUS, MAXIMUM NORTH DECLINATION Eight-Year Declination Cycle 5/1796 26n14 5/1868 26n42 5/1940 27020 5/1804 26n17 5/1876 26n46 5/1948 27n24 5/1812 26n20 5/1884 26n50 5/1956 27029 5/1820 26n23 5/1892 26n54 5/1964 27033 5/1828 26n26 5/1900 26n58 5/1972, 27037 5/1836 26n29 5/1908 27n02 5/1980 27n41 5/1844 26n33 5/1916 27007 5/1988 27n44 5/1852 26n33 5/1924 27n11 3/1996 27047 5/1860 26n39 5/1932 27015 Source: Vallicre’s Almanac 137 A Venus declination maximum adds yet another factor to the total tidal pull, which is already strong near a major lunar standstill. Ata declination maximum, a planet slows down, stops and changes direction, which means it spends a longer-than- average time near its degree of maximum declination. In late spring and early summer, 1988, the maximum declination of the moon will be within a degree of Venus' declination. Thus each month it will be spending a longer-than-usual period in parallel or contra-parailel to Venus. The coincidence of both the Moon and Venus at such high declinations has happened in only five years since 1800, as shown in the following table. As you can see, this table shows a correlation between Moon/Venns declination peaks and economic cycles in the U.S. The dates and durations of the depression years are from Sachs-Thorp (Encyclopedia of American History, ed. Richard B. Morris New York: Harper, 1965, p. 536). Sachs- Thorp shows 17 depressions since 1800, averaging 30 months duration.

After reaching aphelion (its farthest distance from the sun) on September 11 1988, Saturn goes on in November and December to attain 22°40" south declination. As mentioned earlier, in 1988, there is also a series of conjunctions between Saturn and Uranus taking place on February 12, June 26, and October 17. A Replay of the Great Crash In 1988, we are near a sunspot minimum and a lunar major standstill. Venus and Saturn reach maximum declination, Saturn reaches aphelion, and there are major hard aspects between Saturn 139 and Uranus. What does this signify? The following table shows the results of a search of 20th century celestial combinations. PARALLEL CELESTIAL EVENTS, 1929-33 and 1986-88 1/1929 through 8/1933 9/1986 through 11/1988 11/1929 Saturn aphelion 9/1986 Sunspot minimum 12/1929 Saturn max. decl. 9/1987 Moon max. decl. 1/1931 Saturn Uranus sq. 5/1988 Vemus max. decl.

Source: Valliere's Almanac There are striking parallels between the period 1986-1988 and 1929-1933. Both periods were bounded by a sunspot minimum and a Saturn maximum south declination. The main difference is that in 1929-1933 the Saturn declination maximum began the period and the sunspot minimum ended it, whereas in the present period it's the other way around. Also, in 1988, the Saturn-Uranus aspect is a conjunction instead of a square, and and additional factor is Pluto reaching zero declination on February 27, the first time since 1863. From 1929 to 1933, American society was halted and forced to retreat during the Great Depression. In terms of planetary symbolism,the changes were sudden (Uranus) and difficult (Saturn). As in the present period, the Sun, Moon and Venus were at extreme points in their cycles, and there were dramatic trend reversals such as SECTION FIVE: TRADING WITH ASTRO-CYCLES 140 we have already begun seeing.

Gartley wrote Profits in the Stock Marker in 1935. Originally there were only 1000 copies sold for about $1500 each. This was at the time of the greatest depression in our country's history. One could have purchased three brand new Ford automobiles with that much money!. This is the best book on the technical aspects of the stock market that I have ever found. It is interesting that it was written before R.N. Elliott was popularizd by Charles Collins. On page "222" of this book is a time and price pattern that is THE best technical trade I have ever found. It has everything that the speculator could ask for in a trade: he ang gf Risk-you place your stop above (below) 2. Trading in the direction of the short term trend--you are not picking a top. 3. The Profit to Loss ratio is better than 4 to 1. 4. Three out of four (75%) of the trades will be profitable. Profits in the Stock Market contains cycles, extensive price wave analysis, and the best pattern recognition formations.. You will find several examples of Gartley's "222" in the chart section.

AUS 148 The 1-3-5 Entry Technique The Gartley "222" trading entry is the best I have ever found in 20 years of research. Further research into excellent entry techniques uncovered a variation of the Gartley method. I call it the 1-3-5 because of the use of the Fil i T sequence, Standard technical analysis warns of the difficulty in picking the “exact” top or bottom in the market. Bernard Baruch stated it succinctly "Don't try to buy at the bottom or sell at the top. This can't be done--except by liars." As traders we are faced with the decision as to how to control risk. We already know that we can not control the market action. The control of risk is of paramount importance to the successful trader. "He who knows not what he risks--risks all!" (Chinese proverb) The 1-3-5 signal incorporates the following parameters: 1. A previous top or bottom has been formed. 2. The price action is now moving toward the old top or bottom at the Fibonacci retracement point of .618! 3. There are no limit moves in the last three weeks. 4, Astro cycle aspects or lunar phenomena are present. Once these parameters have been completed the entry rules are as. follows: 1. Enter the market at the .618 retracement. 2. Place stop above the old high (low). 3. Determine the amount of profit you expect. 149 1-3-5 BUY SIGNAL 1. Enter market at .618 retracement. 2.

Gap in the price action--prices move sharply on the opening and continue throughout the day. 2. Several days of wide price ranges that are considerably more than the normal range. An example: the average daily range for the S&P 500 is 200 points per day, then suddenly the daily trading range expands to 500 points per day. 3. The market closes at the high (or low) of the trading range each day. This is referred to by technicians as a "tail" close because it closes at the extreme of the range. Usually 3 tail closes signal acceleration. When the events occur them. "Markets are never wrong—men often are!” There are several examples of these moves in the book and they are listed as such.
