Each commodity har ite very ovn special cycle, just es each planet has ite evn cycle. It is not eurprising, especially to astrologere, that each individual conmadity has @ perticuler planet thet it favors, for example: gold responds to the cun. Consequently, a11 commodity prices do not rise and fall Simulteneously, Although groupe of commodities, euch as the ‘financial group* or the ‘agriculturel group,* vill more often then not, respond in tandem vith their particuler group. Tvo different areas of study ere blended in thie chapter, therefore sone of the terminology may be new to you. The folloving books are recommended reading and vill cover the basic principles of bot Astrology and the Futures Market.

Technical Anslyeis of the Futures Markete, by John J. Murphy THE HARMONIOUS RELATIONSHIP OF PRICES & PLANETS In order to trade or invest successfully it is necessary to have an intimate knovledge of the commodity you vish to trade. To have your finger on its pulse or to be in tune with it. Therefore, it is important to understand that each commodity while naturally unfolding within ite cysle vill appear to be marching to the beat of ite ovn drummer. The marching being the commodity cycle, the drummer being the plenetary cycle. Simply put, the commodity prices are! dancing while the planets are playing the tune. ‘ Each combination of planets and commodities have their ov special selody. It is up to vs to pick out that melody. Sonetines v4 do 4t one note at # tine! Folloving thie analogy « step surther, v4 can think of one planetary aspect (tvo plancts of course) ae # soloist, which tranelates price-viee into a minor short term revert of price. A vhole orchi tra or multiple aspects, often create major long term reveroal ef trend and price. For example, the top © the Dow Jones Industrial Averages (DJIA) in August 1987 vas vithout @doubt the complete orchestra. (more details on thie later). As commodity traders or anvestore, if ve can occasionally hun the epecial melody of our favorite commodity, and if at the same tine we are in harmony, ve vill be rewarded by profitable trades. Losing trades are 2 clear indication of singing off key. Technical analysis of prace patterns combined vith planetary timing 1s one of the vays to avoid singing off key. When @ trader hac a methodology that consistently makes a profit, ve know he ie definitely in tune with the market. There are @ fev rare indaviduale vho ectually know most of the melody of thear favorate commodity, but 1 have yet to meet one vho, for example, knove the entire "Hog Bellies Song" by hear Computers of course, vill change the treding vorld. Somevhere in the future mputere will enable us ta know the entare song...+...¥ords, mucie rhythm etc. But meanytile, we must be avare of the complications that eccur on a regular basis ue the cycles have phase shifte. Moet professional traders have experienced phase shifts ina not too pleasant vay. They always happen just vhen you are flying hagh, trading et your very best. You are dancing ain the Fred Astair Commodity Tradere Dance Championship! You are in superb form. Dancing vith complete abandon, gliding through the air on each perfect etep....-euddenly the tempo changes, the phase ehifte end you are nov ana three legged race on quicksand! We've al) been there end had ta really ecramble to save ourcelyes end our trading equity. Planetary cycles vithin plenetery cycles create phase shifts. For this Jason certein eapects may energize the market an aparticular way for maybe six sonths or eo until a longer planctary cycle clicks in, st which time prices respond in a totally different way to the: very game pects. Long term cycles may nullity shorter cycles, but on the other hand they aay emphasize the shorter cycie reking it appear more prominent for @ period of time. The bottom line te that vhen planetary agpecte stop vorking as they have in the pact, pay attention a phase ehift so in effect. PLANETARY TIMING *The Tool Box" Aspecte: Two plancte forming an aspect to each other hove the potential to time @ price reversal. The folloving Geocentric 6 vel! es Helicceatric aspects are used.

It is impossible to trade every aspect that is presented, therefore ¥: choose the aspects and planets thet create the majo turning pointe in our preferred commodity. We then combine our ownsenizedaieg Kypaunwoo As0uNGD Ui 13 Stee = Ofes GunoH ONIQVEL *30NVHOX]VOI09 GNY H¥ENS *334400 8861 YsaeWa930 vo309special technical toole vith these aspects. In other vords, ve pick up the major beat or rhythm of the commodity ae it responds to certain aupects: Example: Cocos responds readily vith eli aspects to Venus, We can choose to use every aspect to Venus or to pick one pair in particuler. If ve select Venus and mare in aspect «Sk O A o®) te each other, we find they clearly time significant reversals of price. See Chart #1. This example illustrates Geocentric Venus vith Mare ar well as Venus in aspect to Pluto. ‘The turning pointe in price are plainly viesble at the time of each aspect. ¥hen these planetary timing toole ere combined with technical toole the result 46 © very profitable treding system. (For your observation also ook at Heliocentric Venus especting Pluto and Geocentric Mare changing signs on Chart #1) General Guidelines for Aspects: Single especte = short term, minor price reversals. Multiple aspects = long term, major price reversale, R_. especially if the multiple aspecte occur vithin a very short ti fronc. If multiple espects are spread over a tvo week period (ol more) then congestion of price generally forms, but you must remenbel this is only © guideline, because the energies of all aspects, planets, appertaining to various commodities are not equal. Retrograde and Direct: When planets change direction thi often correletes with reversals in price of certain commodities, >Y again, only some, not 611 commodities respond.Example: Soybeans relete to fercury. When tercury changes direction poverful reversals in price are shown. The above can easily be use as a ehort term trading tool or it can be combined with Weliocentric and Geocentric aspecta to Mercury along with technical tools for a super trading eysten. Change of Siane: As plenets change signe, either Heliccentrically or Geocentricelly, prices may also reverse. If several planets move into new gigns together, or vithin juct a few days of each other, this edds energy to the reversal. A dramatic exemple of thie occurred August 25, 1987, when the DJIA reached an ell tame high. Geocentric Change of Signe: August 22, Mercury inte Virgo August 23, Mars inte Virgo August 24, Sun, Moon, Yenus into Virgo Heliocentric Change of Signs: ‘ August 20, Nercury into Virgo August 21, Nars inte Virgo Auguet 22, Venus into Virco Even vithout including aepects, retrogrades or direct motion of the planets, the above list is very impressive. we seldom find five Geocentric planets changing eigns together, vhile it ie even more rore to find three Heliccentric planets changing into the very eame cign! This mascive grouping of course, created multiple aspectsENTER COMEX SILVER Suir tm SEPTEMBER 1986 e COMMODITY EXCHANGE. INC.

The market then moved a@idewaye until the October crash. Multiple aspects often cavsc congesticn or sideways movement. The planet Jupiter alec went Retrograde on August 19, 1987, the DJIA generally moves sidevays or down when Jupiter ie Retrograde. Moan Phases and Eclipses Full and New Moone ere often poverful energies that reverse price, especially if they fall within 2 day or tvo of @ planetary aspect, in vhich case, the price revereal vill often occur et the lunation, rather than on the date of the actual planetary aspect. Soler and Lunar Felipees ere eleo extremely important timing tools. A change of trend may occur on the actual eclipse date or at » later time when the eclipse degree ic re-energized by snother planet. In general Nev and Full Noone de not create price revereals with enough consistency to be used alone. But certain commodities do respond readily to the phases of the Noon, Silver is © good example, eee Chart #14, Here you can eee that the New and Full Moons fal) at some of the major turning points, as vell ss at geome of the minor turning pointe. If Silver hes been edvancing or declining steadily prior to e New or Full Moon, price vill generally stop and reverse or Stop and congest st the lunar phase. Occaeionslly as shovn at point B end C on Chart 1A. price just continues on without hesitation. Here stronger cycles vere in effect overriding the Noon phases. For trading purposes the lunar phases prove most profitable when used in combination with other planetary aspects and technical tools.Price charte sre made up of constants. Take the daily price part for exemple. Each dey there 4p a high price, @ low price and tinal price of the day, knovn es the closing price. These three daily conetants, the high, lov and cloce fore a bar. When price bers are etrung together over a period of days, veeks, etc., they create patterns. Certain petterne occur vith regularity. Avareness of these patterne gives us the ebility to see them developing. The visual recognition of patterne unfolding offers a frame of reference and quide as to vhere future price can go, including the knowledge of what the possible completed pattern will be. Technical tools monitor patterns and let you comfortably hold the hand of the price while it dances eleng. You now have an intinate) knowledge of certain dence steps! Without this knowledge you nave no ides of vhere price is going or what it ie doing, ite like bein dragged along by # runaway horse, How can you possibly make @ logical decieion about e@ trade under these conditions? Technical toole therefore, allow you some element of control (Not contral over the markets only control over yourself). You c@! never tell the market vhat to do, you alvays let the market tell 9 vhat it ie up to. Then with your technical tools you monitor thy action. It ell boile dovn to pattern recognition. Restated, the technicel teols monitor price and set uP fremework within which the prices will fluctuate. Plsnetary toot hovever give the timing for reversals of price. When combined, thes!n toole allow you to see the dance (visual patterns) and hear the beat (planetary timing) and therefore stay in tune with the warket. Both tools generate BUY or SELL signals which are utilized for trading or investing purposes. In other vords, each time you trade, you are expecting tvo cignais, one planetary and one technical. Important Rule: Do not take planetary eignale without confirmation from technical @igaale. If for example an aspect occurs in a etrong market, it may be the one time that price does not reveree as expected. (aspect © revereal 75% of time). In etrong price moves, spect can just add energy to the forvard thrust, and in thie case, there vill be no confirming BUY or SELl. cignal from the technical tools. Hence, using technical signals to confirm planetary timing, avoids stepping in front of a freight train. TREND LIKES Here is one of the most simple technical tools as vell as one that most market traders pay attention te. Therefore it behooves us to use it vith planetary timing. HOW TO DRAW TRENDLINES In an up market @ trendline (TL) ie drayn by connecting tvo or wore love. See chart #2 DJIA. By joining lows A and B, then projecting thia line out into the future, gives a line ef support for future deys/veeke/monthe etc. In a down market a TL 4s dravn by feonnecting two or more highs, end projecting this line into the future loiving @ line of resistance to the prices in future daye.og Kou % # Lave HONVHY ATHSaM HSVO Ly I nodChart #2 illustrates a long term TL that had been in effect since 1985. This line vas not penetrated until the October 1987 rach. lf a warket is te continue moving up, it should stop and reverse to the upside whenever it touches the TL. If it 16 @ strong up market, the TL will support and propel it up again, especially if important planetary signals format the seme time. In ® strong down market as in October 1987, the TL did not support, thereby resulting in the TL feilure. Often, when # market falle through ® TL, it will go back up to check the TL out again. At this time the TL will become resistance and push the market down. Chart #2 illustrates the general weakness of the DJIA, note that it has never even been near the TL eince the eresh of 87. Trendlines off Love give support. Trendlines off Highe give resistance. MORE. SUPPORT AMD RESISTANCE LINES: See Chart #3 DJIA By connecting high pointe A end B and extending that line out horizontally creates another evpport Line, This line from 1966 18 now eupporting the DJIA in 1988 et C.

VALID TRENDLINES: The longer @ TL has been in tact the more valid it becomes support or recistance to future prices. The more times price touch 4t, without going through it, the stronger it hecomes. The shorte the TL, the more easily it vill be broken. For this very reason, y vill shortly see vhy short term TL’s vork well with planetary aspect: EXAMPLE OF SHORT TERM TRENDLINES: Chart #5, Crude Oi1 As illustrated on Chart #5, any two low pointe or any t high points of ten days spart or more are connected to form short te: TL’s.

For Gold, I have chosen the aspects licted belov, but bear in mind, you may decide efter studying and trading gold to use entirely different aspects es vell as technical tools. The beauty of Astrotech trading is ite many variebles, ensbling everyone to dovetail their personal system to their own taste and personality.

PLANETARY ASPECTS FOR GOLD Sun aspecting Mare, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune and Plute only. 2. Neptune in eepect to all planete except Moon. Neptune and Pluto Retrograde and Direct.30 bg 4. Aspects to be used: conjunction, sextile, equare, trine and opposition. 5. Heliocentric Mercury changing into the eign of Sagittarius. TECHNICAL TOOLS FOR GOLD 1. KR or 2DR are only used when one of the require plenetary espects eccur, othervise do not toke a KR or 2DR. The rang or orb for KR is two days before to three days efter the aspect.

Mercury starte ite trip though Sagittarius every @6 days and stays there for approximately 11 of those 65 days. We have the ppportunity to observe Gold vhile Mercury is in Sagittarius about 4 time per year. In the box on Chart #12, note a classic exemple of price action as Mercury moves though Sagitteriue and inte Capricorn. This classic ecenario se of price increasing sharply from the firet day the planet goes into Sagitterius. Price generally tops out one or tvo days prior te Mercury entering Capricorn, then price declines rapidly to the end of that eign, rice seems to top out at ebout 26 of Sagittarius, vhich is the Galactic Center. The degree to vhich price follows thie classic illustration varies depending on other cycles that may be simultaneously affecting price, But Gold will increase in value approximately 75% of the tine thet Mercury transite Segitterius, vhile the other 25% the reverse is true, price falls er goes into congestion. This information is based eolely on past performance and in no vay guarantees price vill continue to behave in thie manner. There are several vays to utilize this phenomenon for trading purposes. One vill be outlined here, others vill be covered in the future Astrotech series. Other planets that function in a similar wanner vill be expanded upon in future booke.TRADING MERCURY IN SAGITTARIUS The firet order of business ie to define the trading rules.

Will Rogers bit the nail on the head when he said, "I’m not go much interested in the return ON my investment, ae I am in the return OF my investment. Trading systems and money management help protect your capital. Stops enable you to know your maximum risk on every trade and therefore ere another form of protection. The majors csuses of loses are the following. 1, Heving ® system and then not following at. If you want te change the rules of your system, do eo while you are researching not vhile you are trading. Rules changed during trading more often than not result in a lose. 2. Moving etope vhen in m loccing position to @ point that sllovs you to stay with the position rather than be stopped ovt. 3. Not using stops at all. Lack of objectives. 5. Not familiar vith the commodity or market being traded. 6. Letting other people tell you how and vhen to trade. trade goee wrong, and eince you ere not trading vith their Those people are never eround to tell you vhat te do when the system you have ne frame of reference vith which to monitor the trade.64 7. Self-aabotege probably causes the most losses. It can“ be reeponeible for making you do all of the above end more Further discussion on thie under market attitude IDEAS ON MONEY MANAGEMENT: Take profit at specified pointe. Fer example ynen trading Gold, put on 3 contracts et the sane tine or multiples thereof. Take the first one off et $502.00 profit, take the second off at $1,000.00 profit. Leave the ‘inal one on to reach your objective. A similar method vorke vell on T-Bonds vhen treding with the Astrotech system, Put on 3 contrecte, take the first one off on the close of the second day. Take the next one off one the close of the third Leave the final one on to reach your objective, PREDICTIONS AND TRADING Both ere valuable in their ovn right, but sometimes vhen used together can create losses, For example, if you predict a peak in price at a certain planetary aspect, the brain may then become locked into price going up. If price does go up ite great, but if price goes down instead you can be eloy to respond. There is @ tendency to think that price vill resume its move up any minute ce you hang in there with @ loosing trade. For this reason, use the planetary aspects as turning points end predict # reversal rather than @ high or e low. The bottom line je..., don’t tell the market vhat to do, let it tell you.65 WARKET ATTITUDE Your personal attitude about success, especially your ovn success, vill control the final result of profit or loss. If subconsciously you believe that you do not deserve to succeed, or if you think money is = negetive force, you will sabotage yourself, your system or any other system to create a loss. Thie applies to other areas of life too. If you believe you are @ failure.... you vill be @ failure. You ere vhat you think you ere. If you really vant to succeed, you must feel that you deserve to succeed. There ere as many people vho fear success es there are those vho fear failure. If you fear success, you vill not allow yourself to succeed. The fear of success cen be on 8 conscious level or © subconscious level, but if it ic there it will be clearly seen by the resulte in any or eli areas of lite. A positive attitude about yourself, @ willingness to be kind to yourself ond accept success es part of your life ie necessary. 2 the protien lies on a subconscious level the task beconeo more Gitticult but positive results can be easily echieved by hypnosis or selfhypnosie, An clear exanple of this hae been shown by the doctors et St. Thomae’ Hoepitel in London. They found that petiente recovered more quickly vhen the doctora played tapes vith hypnotic auggestions while the patient vas on the operating table under aneathetic. They vere told: "You vill not feel sick. You will not have any pain.”66 a Patients given these suggestiona had fever complications and left the heapita: sooner than other patient) If you are inclined to sabotege yourself for vhatever the reason , now is the time to take charge of your life. For fast resulte see e professional hypnotict. The success tapes and sels hypnosis tapes ere also recommended.67 READING LIST Raymond Merriman, “The Golé Book" P.0.Box 1074, Birmingham, MI.48012 Charles Drummond, “How To Make Money In The Futures Market” 2255R Queens St. E #1, Toronto M4E 1GB, Canada.
