It is the same feeling every time. Whenever I complete a new book on the relationship of geocosmic signatures to financial markets, I am in utter amazement. I am amazed at the constistency of these signatures to the actual times of market reversals. In every instance, it is like a whole new discovery, and I think: "How can I possibly share this valuable information with others? It is too good to make it available for $95.00 (or $150.00, or even $500.00). I should just keep it to myself". (Ray Merriman, introduction)
Well, I am glad Ray didn't keep it to himself, because with his 4th book in the "Stock Market TIMING Timing ist in den Amanita-Prognosen so gut wie immer viel wichtiger, genauer & verläßlicher als Preise. Die Standardungenauigkeit für alle Timingangaben wenn nicht explizit anders angegeben ist immer +/- 1 Woche, außer für die Amanita-Pivots (+/- 1-2 Handelstage). Series" the author has made another valuable contribution to the development of financial astrology. While intermediate- and long-term geo-cosmic stock market patterns have already been researched quite well, very little has been done to cover short-term swings, that's why many contradictory and false theories are circulating. This book fills the gap and offers a good starting point for traders and researchers alike.
The hypothesis tested is that "there is a correlation between solar-lunar sign combinations and 4% or greater swings in the stock market", and the Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA), the Nasdaq Composite and the Nikkei 225 were used to test this hypothesis. Compared to the volumes 1-3, the new concept of "weighted values" was introduced to enhance the user friendliness of the text, especially for traders with very little astrological knowledge.
12 chapters of the book deal with the 144 solar-lunar combinations possible. One example: when sun is in Cancer, a DJIA reversal is very likely when the moon is in Taurus, but the opposite is true when the sun is in Leo because in this context a Taurus moon has a low probability of being a reversal.
As you would probably guess from the above example, the results are by and large not predicted by the existing astrological theories. For instance, most financial astrologers would think that a full moon is volatile time and thus overrepresented at the reversals, but Ray's research shows that the probability of 4% turn around the full moon (and one moon sign away on either side) is even below average.
One finding consistent with the expectations is that the 3 most volatile moon signs are Aries, Aquarius, and Libra (Aries and Libra are the equinox signs) while the signs near the solstices (Gemini-Cancer and Sagittarius-Capricorn) are considerably less volatile. I assume the reason is that the equinoxes represent "initiation" while the solstices stand for "manifestation". Also very interesting is that of the 32 strongest signatures, 23 (72%) have the moon in a male sign while only 9 (28%) in a female sign, which is highly significant and confirms one of the very basic esoteric assumptions about the nature of Yin and Yang.
