Planetary Cycles Trading (EUR/USD)

Thank you for the reply. Yes, pre 600 compiled indicators work, but when you change them you cannot recompile. Unless ofcourse if you have a pre 600 MT4 version somewhere. But that is a lot of hassle. ​

The problem specifically is in the "astro swiss" include. (attached)
It won't compile the @ character and it will give an error on event handling.
A new approach would be good. The indis you posted don't use the astro_swiss include, so maybe it will work.

Hi Ilovepippin,
I cannot guarantee that the compiled indicator would work, but I did manage to exterminate errors compiling versus the astro_swiss.mq4, by defining the DLL functions in the same way as they are done in the MT5 codes... So please try this version of astro_swiss (I get loads of warnings when compiling one indicator, and it doesn't show anything on the chart. Edit: it does seem to work. I forgot to check the "Allow DLL Inputs" box )
Make sure you keep a working version of the working indicator somewhere safe, in the probable case this compiled one does not work.

Ha! It works on my astro Ichimuco cloud
So, it must work on all others as well. I am going to test! Vielen Dank!​

Great news! Bitte schön.

Enjoy,

Found this interesting article:

Indigenous people throughout time have actively participated through ritual and ceremony with the natural rhythms and cycles of nature. The purpose behind this participation is quite simply that the spirits like to be acknowledged and appreciated by humankind! As a closer bond between incarnated souls and spiritual deities is strengthened, the two realities further support and contribute to the unfolding of one another. Shamanic Astrology seeks to connect the individual to the rhythms, or dance of the night sky, through observation, ceremony, and ?deep listening?. Watching and ?listening? to the journey of Venus (and her lover Mars) as she travels through the eastern morning sky, descends, and rises in the west, is one means through which we can make a ?cosmic connection? to the eternal feminine force of nature.

While there are many correlations drawn between astronomical phenomena and ancient mythological gods and goddesses, there is no better description of a planet?s journey than the story of Inanna, the Sumerian goddess of fertility, love, and war (yes, love and war!) to Venus. In the story, Inanna initially a brave and brash goddess of love decides to descend into the underworld to attend the funeral of Gugallana (her sister Ereshkigal?s husband), expecting to return unscathed. However, her long journey down to the bowels of hell leads her at first, to a closed, guarded gate.

No one is allowed to simply enter the underworld alive, and if exception is made, they are never to return. The youthful Inanna will not be deterred, and is commanded to give up her crown in order to pass through the gate. After doing so, she continues down through six more similar gates, surrendering her jewels and garments at each until she stands stark naked before her sister, Ereshkigal, the goddess of Hell. Ereshkigal, with leeches for hair and horrid facial and bodily features, is the true manifestation of corrupted, ended life, fearful degeneration of form; the ultimate picture of death.

She shows no mercy to her sister Inanna, but has her skewered and hung on hooks behind her throne. It is only after some time that she is rescued with the help of Ninshubar (a mercurial figure) her assistant, who had been left with orders to come after her if she did not return within 3 days. Ninshubar had solicited the gods to help save Inanna and came with two newly created androgynous beings who so enamored Ereshkigal that she released Inanna with one condition: The first one to not greet her return with gladness would take her place in Hell.

As Inanna ascends she passes again through each of the seven gates where each of her items is restored to her. All rejoice upon seeing her except Dumuzi, her own lover, who had been placed in charge until her return. He was enjoying his new authority and greeted her with more surprise than warmth, resulting in the demons accompanying Inanna immediately tearing him away and stealing him back to the underworld. Inanna was both terrified and furious with Dumuzi as she was deeply in love with him. She grieved her lost lover thereafter and knew no joy without him. Eventually, Ninshubar agreed to spend half the time with Ereshkigal in his place so they could be united for half of each year to this very day. Inanna had descended into the underworld a young and daring goddess but returned a matured Queen of Heaven.

The ancients always began observing the Venus/Inanna cycle after her conjunction with the sun when she was first visible (10 degrees distant from the sun) in the eastern morning sky. This is called the heliacal rising of Venus and corresponds to her interior conjunction with the sun when she is closest to the earth, brightest, and retrograde. She then spends approximately 260 days, or seven lunar cycles in the east before descending beneath the horizon for approximately 60 days where she forms an exterior conjunction with the sun. This 60-day period when Venus is too close to the sun to be observed is likened to her being in the underworld. She then rises in the west for another approximate 260 days or 7 lunar cycles before returning to the underworld for a short 0-20 days.

This 584-day cycle that begins with the heliacal rise and ends with Venus? interior conjunction with the sun returns to nearly the same degree of the zodiac every five cycles or approximately eight years. The five points, or five cycles, create a perfect pentagram, which symbolizes the connection between Venus, the pentagram (ancient symbol for the human being), and the number 5. At the close of this article I have provided links for you to obtain further documentation regarding the physical characteristics of the Venus synodic cycle (as well as that of Mercury and Mars!). Here I will offer the last five positions for you to connect in the time sequence given to enjoy the pentagram that emerges from the drawing. Date and Zodiacal location of the last 5 heliacal risings of Venus: 1-23-98 at 23 Capricorn, 8-27-99 at 24 Leo, 4-5-01 at 06 Aries, 11-7-02 at 05 Scorpio, 6-14-04 at 15 Gemini, and 1-20-06 back to 20 Capricorn. Going just one step further, we can see that the heliacal rise of Venus will return to approximately the same degree every eight years. The Shamanic Astrologer notes this cycle as a Venus Return at age 8 and all multiples thereof.

Shamanic Astrology tracks the zodiacal position of Venus at each of her heliacal risings creating an ?overtone? for the entire cycle. In my astrological practice I find it valuable to know the overtone of a clients? Venus (and Mars), and where she stood within her cycle at the time of birth, as well as remaining aware of Venus? progress within her journey at the time of the reading. We can associate the seven morning lunar conjunctions with the seven gates or chakras that Inanna passes through, with the first corresponding to the crown chakra (she gives up her crown) and the last to the root, or sacral chakra (she gives up her life). By using the ephemeris you can determine where in the cycle Venus was, in the underworld or at which gate she stood. Likewise, if you were born after the exterior conjunction of Venus to the Sun when Venus is in the evening sky, count the number of Moon/Venus conjunctions to determine which gate Venus was passing through at the time of your birth. Remember when doing this that the first Venus/Moon conjunction corresponds to the first chakra and the second Venus/Moon conjunction corresponds to the second chakra and so on. I encourage you to see which chakra Venus is associated with for your current incarnation and whether she is descending, ascending, or in the underworld. More research is needed in this study so please feel free to contact me with your insights as to how this is reflected in your past and current life experience.

In looking at the current synodic cycle of Venus, which began soon after her eclipse with the Sun on 6-8-04 and heliacal rise at 14 Gemini on 6-15-04, we see this cycle ending on January 19th as having a Gemini overtone. After spending a longer than usual time in the eastern sky (~7-13-04 to 2-18-05) she entered the underworld. She rose as an evening star on 5-9-05 and remained there through December, passing through the 7th gate and receiving her crown at the lunar conjunction of 12-04-05. At the time of this writing she is retrograde and will re-emerge from the underworld to begin a new cycle on 1-20-06 at 24 Capricorn. This gives the next 584-day cycle a Capricorn overtone.

Shamanic Astrology divides the human experience into three worlds: the Upper world whose influence is felt through Uranus and Neptune, the Middle world, reflected through Jupiter and Saturn, and the Underworld experiences of Chiron and Pluto. The Lower, or Underworld, is the realm of feeling; a realm life takes us to in order that we fully feel our feelings. As such, we necessarily lose control whether voluntarily or through ?circumstances beyond our control?! It is a place/time of surrender ? a surrendering of our strategies, our goals and ambitions, our mental justifications, rationalizations and ideals in order to fully experience Our Self. You will note these occurrences with all Chiron and Pluto transits as well as when Venus is visiting the underworld.

Through the experience of the underworld (or our inner world) we can see life as existing as nothing but process, and use this time for inner renewal and rejuvenation. Consider the feeling of gradually descending into a hot mineral spring bath, and after fully letting go, feeling the heat relax and gently massage your muscles back to life again. This period of Venus disappearing from the evening sky (go outside and observe exactly when this is for yourself to tune into the cycle) until she returns around the 20th is best used for inner reflection, dreaming, feeling, and renewal.

We will also note a shift from the last cycle with a Gemini (air) overtone to this next cycle with a Capricorn (earth) overtone. This shift from air to earth will be experienced as a maturing of the feminine, as her stepping from the youthful puella energy of Gemini into the wizened elder matriarch of Capricorn. This will be felt by many as the sinking weight of gravity upon their souls. This approaching 584-day cycle will contain within it some heavy, dark times of dealing with our shadow elements and facing our inner demons. Through the process of integrating that which we have avoided, ignored, or suppressed, we will emerge as matured and ripened veterans ready to initiate (or continuing to further initiate!) great new changes.

This can be viewed as a cycle whose complimentary polarity is Cancer. Therefore, it is a time best balanced by a deep feeling of self-acceptance just as we are. It is time to drop the false façade we have wasted so much energy maintaining and BE REAL with others and ourselves. This can be a time of limiting our judgments, accepting our sexuality, loosening the grip of guilt upon our souls and realizing some experience of unconditional love. The promise of the resurrected Capricorn Venus/Inanna (8-18-07) is a true, ethical, impeccable integrity of soul, unswerving because it has plumbed its own depths and therefore cannot be shaken by any external authority, event or illusion. I wish you goodwill on your journey and may the treasures you recover be eternal!

Thanks for the article, ILP... Here is a plot of Venus' journey from James Ferguson's, Astronomy Explained Upon Sir Isaac Newton's Principles, 1799 ed., plate III, opp. p. 67
and... "plotting the recurrence of Venus' westward elongation from the Sun, over five consecutive synodic periods, will create the points of a pentagram. This period is approximately 584 days long, each period determining a different point of the observed pentagram—taking approximately eight years, five days to complete the figure. One would get a pentagram by picking any sunrise date on which the morning star is prominent and then repeating the observation at 584 day intervals following that date." http://freemasonry.bcy.ca/anti-masonry/venus.html

Some more patterns of synodic travel...

Yes, very good jnevins.
Now the 7 pointed star we know from the Chaldeans as well and is also related to mars.
What struck me from the article is the specific use of astrology/astronomy. Also both Gann and Bayer used biblical astrology. We know the story where Jesus was in the desert for 40 days. 40 occurs more often in the bible. Also, Jesus is the morning star and the evening star. The eveningstar was also called "lucifer" which means the bearer of light. Not related to the devil other than that they believed the evening star to be 'evil'.
The devil was actually Mars and Satan was Saturn, but thats besides the point.
This article seems to explain some of those biblical stories.

So, given all this information I was expecting all kinds of TS analysis with venus-sun conjunctions related to volatility.​
Nobody noticed all this sudden increase of volatility???

Notice all the transits today all lining up.... EUR/USD projection 1 hr data back to 2010... last data loaded into TS was 1 month ago...

Hi ILP,

Here is a Sun/Venus planetary picture time analysis (Helio) from TS on EUR/USD 1 hr data showing some interesting turning points... Next turn is projected for the 30th of Aug at 0320....

This is typical for sun-venus. But the influence will fade and the regular cycles will take over.
You don't need to look helio. But, the devil is in the details right?? Remember Jesus 40 days in the desert with the devil.

Now we're talking! Following carefully and noting down every detail....
Cheers,
k

OK funny thing. This post started typing backwards???​
How good is your programming?
I am trying to create an indicator that puts price levels at selected aspects. I already have all the aspects, now just the pricelevels.
I need to create arrays with price levels and at an aspect an array needs to be selected and the levels need to be drawn on the chart.

Any ideas?

I am far from a genius, but have been known to program some stuff.

That shouldn't be a problem.
I can get onto it starting Wednesday as Monday and Tuesday I'll be busy...
Just describe what you want more precisely here or in pm/email if you want discretion.

Cheers,
k

Here is 1 hr data since May 10 on the Euro... Planetary Lines Analyzer in Timing Solution....

And Sun/Venus Geo... Makes some convincing lines....

One more...

is this stuff true, and are you guys millionaires yet

Very convincing lines jnevins...thanks. I gotta get serious about financial astrology someday.

Right Soros, like a frequent long-time FF poster affirmed often:

"Millionaires don't use astrology, billionaires do"
