Skywatchers to get special treat -- five planets and a comet

What do you mean 3 times in 24 hours? I just checked the vertex and it moves with the ascendant. I only just heard about it recently when I was introduced to the guy who popularized it. In the literature of course..

Vertex is on the Western side of the houses and is the meetup of the vertical meridian with the ecliptic. I have found that as Vertex enters Cancer, Libra and Capricorn (Cardinal Signs) there seems to be a repeatable change of trend. I call Entering Capricorn #1 as that's the first energetic point of the new day in the New York City region. Vertex makes a complete revolution back to #1 every 24 hours.

Here is a 15 min EUR/USD chart from today

I'm going to have a look for sure. On and off I have been playing with the ascendant, mc, fortune, and 8th

Does anyone here calculate any of Bayer's Rules? I had talked to another person who calculated them, saying he just used the values from the book, the dates given. For example, Perihelion of Venus/Mars. But in my own calculations using ephemeris software I've found those dates to wander just a bit.

The reason for my post is here. I'm trying to see if I've done something wrong calculating the speed differential of Mercury and Mars


I have it to occur between the 23rd and the 24th. I didn't calculate for fine work since there is a whole bunch of data to pour through and I am looking for swing trades mostly anyways.

But http://time-price-research-astrofin.blogspot.com/ seems to be different. Of course there's is a line on a chart and mine is simple excel data.

Anyone able to comment?

Also just wanted to say hello. Like jnevins has suggested I too have been through many of those authors in the search for identifying the laws of market values. Aspect research is but the very basic element and yet can become quite intricate and complicated. I think the trick with aspect cycles is identifying the important fractals in them. Otherwise Aspect cycles will render less than stellar std dev tolerances. I have not done all the research but it's easy to see the work of others.

I know it's awesome to take astrolog or an ephemeris file and pour through it to find the angles and see a turn on a chart, and think you've found gold. But then begin to see that sometimes it goes up and sometimes it goes down, sometimes the effects are stellar and sometimes not. The silver lining quickly turns dull and then the real questions in the brain begin. "Well, what if I do it this way.." So the story goes...

So rather than reinvent the wheel it has been my attempt to replicate the work of others.

So I am extending an invitation to those interested to form a live Skype room or something similar to focus efforts of work together, while trading in real time. Successfully replicating and "peer-reviewed" work in this setting is sure to leverage not only brain power but our pockets as well.

With the study being more niche than most methods it's easy to be alone in the pursuit, even with mountains of information from authors such as David Williams, to Merriman, to Arch, to Bayer, Gann, Pesavento, etc. You can have all the astro research and futures dates done and still not trade well. I would like to throw up a roof for other like minds to take shelter in. I know I need some assistance. If we are to believe that this stuff works and prove it, then it goes a long way toward supporting traditional astrology, and with a Neptune on the ascendant, it can be difficult for me at times in my work.

I agree 100%. In searching for a practical explanation of Astro-Trading I think there is an important indication about what Gann said about Causes and Effects. I cannot implicate the man in veiling everything, but seeing how he declares it point blank in TTTA that the book is veiled and must be read 3 times, I think the clue lies in the idea of the veiling of his method behind 3 major ideas. The first is the basic, academic style approach of understanding, the book cover scientific model, which he describes in his books. Using calendar dates, using 8ths and %s. Then in TTTA you have clues about astrology and the bible and Natural Law. Then you have the comment he made about Astrology not being enough. However the underlying of all that is mathematics, numbers. Numbers being the vibratory expression of the intrinsic Cause of all things. Even they are outward expressions of an inward or hidden process, but there doesn't seem to be a more concrete, objective and repeatable model to go further. In a simple idea I think the Law of Vibration is explained as the correspondences of proportions. Astrology is often related with the "Law of Correspondences" and I think this refers to the idea of empirical observation, ie: through deductive reasoning what is the silver lining of the effect observed? So we can study Astro Cycles but what we find is that hidden in their proportions of space and period (price and time) we discover number patterns that otherwise are deciphered numerically, there being natural affinities inherent in their observed effects. Then there is the part where Gann talks about mathematics being the only true science. The idea that stocks and commodities (and thus we infer all phenomena and other markets, from Ganns statement "applicable to every class of phenomena") are like atoms and molecules points directly to the "periodic recurrence" in the table of elements. Which is the object of much emphasis in the book William Gann Analyzed by The Law of Vibration. The object to pick tops and bottoms of significance is to quantify the energy of the price time vector as it harmonizes with "natural" archtypes of vibrational structure.

Sorry I'm rambling abit away from the main point of this post and that's my shared opinion with jnevins that Planets don't influence the affairs of men and market values, rather that Natural Law influences the affairs of man and the Planets. What is that natural law? What makes it tick? I think clues to that are within Gann's last book, which I don't think is really a book about trading at all as some people believe. As it being "his most mysterious book." The level of spirituality indicated by his reading list should show the esoteric approach to living life day to day. One of my favorite things Gann said about the bible, "It teaches two things: obedience to the law brings rewards, and disobedience brings punishment." The Magic Word isn't a secret trading book like the Tunnel Through the Air may be. The Magic Word is a testament of Gann to the world of his philosophy in practical application of what he called "Divine Laws" to living life day to day. It's his Religion. In it he says that no one else can show us the way to Heaven only by turning inward and working out our own salvation will be enter. I like Gann for his approach to trading sure, but I love him more for his understanding of a way of living and his avocation for practical things to do. The Magic Word is all about attempting to tune ourselves to the collective harmonies of Divine Laws, The Law of Vibration. Only through that practice will we add to our existence. Which is the same principle behind trading. Trading with natural laws grows the account, trading against them diminishes it. The same laws govern the expansion and sustaining of consciouness, as well as the expansion and sustenance of the long term trader, as opposed to simply speculating.

I remember when I first started trying to learn to trade. I was confronted with myself. The disgusting tirade of bad habits run rampant. Undisciplined, full of fear and greed, excitement and worry. Emotionally pimped by each swing in the market. Over committed, under committed. Only paying attention to the hopes and wishes of being exactly right, and always at the wrong time. It took a few years, but realized that there is a certain grouping of qualities necessary to be a trader, and not everyone is able to do it, or even learn to do it. The envelope of our consciousness alone as an entropic group of nodes without the steering direction to sustain the envelope with the only harmonizing force that is divine direction, governs to an extent our boundaries of possibility "in this life." Meaning that, astrologically speaking certain people will do certain things, and those certain people will not be able to change the course, as to violate the laws of vibration. For example, there is no way in hell I will ever be President of the United States. I have already set down a path that leads far away from that possibility, both in chance and in choice. However I do have speculation in my chart, occult studies as well. So "chance"? or "choice"? would have it that years later i get into the markets and astrology and check out my natal chart and lo and behold have these indications, rather than being a President of the United States, I am who I am now.

There is a phase relationship between the consciousness being raised to a higher level of self-actualization within the environment. Meaning, that one day we all wake up in our bodies with the realization that I am this thing, but what am I? It's more gradual than climactic, however there are times that bring us to sudden awareness, certain revelations about that state, that take us into a new realm. Not unlike quanta of energy exciting our base structure to higher rates of vibration. So even still I am convinced that the same laws to govern planetary movements that govern physics and man's environmental bias and general state of consciousness also govern those "sudden insights" and flashes of revelation. So who is really in control here and what is the causes of it? That is the culmination of Gann's understanding and practical experience is I AM. Jehovah, the Divine Cubit of Providence, Jesus Christ, whatever you want to call it. He links the esoteric, the exoteric, and the mathematical/geometric when he puts the name Jehovah with each letter in a circle within a circle. That structure is the Cubit. And is a manifestation of the Gann-Lambert logo of the square circle and trine. The same as the X, Y, Z variables of the 3d chart.

The same laws that say I am a speculating occultist and will never be a president are the same laws that say Gold will probably never be controvertable to limestone as an exchange rate.

Just some thoughts..

Fractalfield,

Your last post is one of the most thoughtful posts I have ever read on Forex Factory in any forum, including this one. I'll respond more this week-end when I have more time...

I just wanted to post a quick chart of Vertex's movement in the last day's trading... 15 minute EUR/USD data

1. Vertex enters Cancer 1:55 am EST Jan 21

2. Vertex enters Libra, 9:55 am EST Jan 21

3. Vertex enters Capricorn 17:50 pm EST Jan 21

There are those who no matter what you show them or what you say, they will never believe in cycles. For those of us who do, we need that disbelief to trade against.

Fractalfield,

I have nothing more to add or subtract from your observations... all extremely well said and coming from a position of reflection and truth.

To thine own self be true, Shakespeare

Polonius:

This above all: to thine own self be true,
And it must follow, as the night the day,
Thou canst not then be false to any man.
Farewell, my blessing season this in thee!

Laertes:

Most humbly do I take my leave, my lord.

Bradley model.... Here is a nice looking sine wave calculated in Timing Solution that has a dedicated button for calculating a classic Bradley calculation... in this case, I used 1 hr data, EUR/USD. The MT4 chart is marked up to record pips if one sold at cycle peak and bought at cycle bottom.

Hi Fractalfield,
you seem to be to lone contender here to achieve what you set out for! You have the right mind-set.You might delve into the study of true Kabballah.It will help you find understanding.

jnevins what how do you set up this aspect?from the natal chart of down jones?if it is so which is his birthdate?very good work¡¡¡

thanks for let us to learn jnevins.I have another question at point one when vertex is in capricorn how do you know if the trend before was up or down because in the chart attached it appears it was coming down so we must expect to go up but it happened the opposite...i dont know if you understand the question and finally in the step 3 the pair didnt change the trend

jnevins what how do you set up this aspect?from the natal chart of down jones?i

I use Astrolog 5.4 (free) when I want to easily find aspects... I don't bother with natal charts, birthdays, etc.... just transits. All I am interested in is the timer aspect of the astronomical event. See posted chart...

I see the possibility for change as Vertex just enters Capricorn, Cancer and Libra... (cardinal signs) Change can be up>down, Down>up, Down to Sideways, Sideways>up or down, etc... Best to use a breakout approach to enter or you can use your most trustworthy oscillator to help clue you in as to direction to enter. The main point though is that the event focuses my attention....

245 pips down...

Ill respond to this when I have more time. btw, I've finished what Gann, Andrew, Gartley, all of them were trying to achieve, and I've made it infinitely better. I will explain these exoteric, and esoteric concepts when I return. Sacred Geometry is sacred for a reason, jut as the golden ratio is golden for a reason;. Like Apollo's Golden apples, Buddahs Golden apple, Jason's Golden Fleece, and on, and on. Knowledge is never lost, only occulted so those with 'eyes to see' will rediscover these sacred geometric principles. Don't forget Joseph Smith's Golden plates. I wonder if they are all referring to the same thing? To be continued

As January closes and in the coming days of February, early morning risers can spot the five naked-eye planets before dawn. Though some might claim to see six planets, in this seaside panoramic view all five celestial wanderers were found above the horizon along with a bright waning gibbous Moon on January 27. Nearly aligned along the plane of the ecliptic, but not along a line with the Sun, the five planets are spread well over 100 degrees across the sky. Just arriving on the predawn scene, fleeting Mercury stands above the southeastern horizon in the golden light of the approaching sunrise.

And the Astrolog view of that exact moment with the moon making 3 aspects simultaneously.... Trine Mercury, Square Saturn and Sextile Mars

Finally the MT4 view of the 1 hr. EUR/USD after a five hour downtrend, that hour brought a definitive resumption of the up trend in place.

Even Not start yet..

I try to Focus on from this week!

Today, Groundhog Day in the US is a special day as it is a cross quarter moment in the yearly passing of the sun...

Also known as Imbolic... "
"Imbolc (pronounced "EE-molk") is held during the coldest and darkest days of the year, when people long for warmer temperatures felt in spring and summer. The festival is meant to symbolically drive out the frigid conditions and the darkness, by shining a light on any early seasonal changes.
Imbolc is an Old Irish word that refers to sheep’s milk. In ancient times, a lactating ewe signaled one of the first signs of spring. Also called Brigid’s Day, in reference to the Celtic goddess of fertility, Imbolc represents regeneration.
It is traditional during Imbolc to light every lamp in the home at dusk, according to experts on pagan traditions. Candles can also be lit in each room of the house to honor the sun’s rebirth. A kerosene lamp with a red chimney cab also be placed in a prominent spot of the home."

Also, Beltain in early May and other midpoint in the calendar:"Beltane is the anglicised name for the Gaelic May Day festival. Most commonly it is held on 1 May, or about halfway between the spring equinox and the summer solstice"

Early August brings us Lughnasad: "Also known as Lammas, or First Harvest, the name of this festival as Lughnasadh is Irish Gaelic for "Commemoration of Lugh". Some authors give the meaning as marriage, gathering or feast (in the name of) of Lugh. The meaning remains basically the same: Lugh is the Deity of Lughnasadh, and there is a feast."

Finally the last cross quarter is Samhain: "Samhain (pronounced /ˈsɑːwɪn/ SAH-win or /ˈsaʊ.ɪn/ SOW-in, Irish pronunciation: [sˠaunʲ]) is a Gaelic festival marking the end of the harvest season and the beginning of winter or the "darker half" of the year." Wikipedia
