Lesson II
You can, with just a little bit of confirmation, accurately forecast a stock's price
direction during a specific time frame. The real secret to this trading technique lies
in properly interpreting the astrological language. I indicated the importance of the
'elements' (fire, earth, air and water) and 'qualities' (cardinal, fixed and mutable) in
our first lesson. We'll learn how to apply those 'qualities' to the lunar cycle in the
next two lessons.
Each sign is divided into three parts, which represents a total of 30 degrees for each
sign of the zodiac. The 'decanate' is 10 degrees of a sign. Each 'decanate' is then
divided into four parts called 'duads', of 2 1/2 degrees each. Think of the astrological
sign as the projector and the decanate as the receiver. The 'duad' shows the daily
experiences that help in the development of the sign. I said in the first lesson that I
would try to stay away from too much technical jargon, but have patience with this
one. It's a real jewel of a trading strategy, and is well worth the effort to learn it.
Let's take a look at the 4-phase lunar cycle, and see how we can apply this
information to our stock trading. The Moon formed a conjunction aspect (0 degrees)
with the Sun on 8/29/00, at 6 degrees and 22 minutes Virgo. The 'duad' for both the
Sun and the Moon is therefore in the sign of Scorpio*. You'll remember from our
first lesson that Scorpio has a ‘fixed' quality. Now here's a secret. No matter what
phase of the lunar cycle you're in, the ‘duad' of the Moon will always have the same
quality as the 'duad' of the Sun. For example, the Moon formed a square aspect (90
degrees) with the Sun on 9/05/00. On that date the Sun was at 13 degrees and 24
minutes Virgo, and the Moon was at 13 degrees and 24 minutes Sagittarius. The
'duad' for the Sun was in the sign of Aquarius, and the 'duad' for the Moon was in
the sign of Taurus. Note that both Aquarius and Taurus have 'fixed' qualities!
The 4-phase lunar cycle consists of the New Moon (0 degrees), the 1st Quarter Moon
(90 degrees), the Full Moon (180 degrees) and the Last Quarter Moon (90 degrees).
Whenever the 'duads' of the Sun and Moon remain in the same 'quality' for at least
three consecutive phases, be sure to make a note of it. The 'duads' for the Sun and
Moon were in a 'fixed' mode for the New Moon on 8/29, the First Quarter Moon on
9/05, the Full Moon on 9/13 and the Last Quarter Moon on 9/20. Now take a look at
the daily price chart for the NASDAQ 100 cash Index (NDX). You can see how
prices moved down during this period, from the 3951.39 close on 8/29 to the 3583.16
close on 9/26 (the last day of the 9/20 Last Quarter Moon). In the next lesson, I'll
show you how you can use this information for forecasting future stock prices.
