Solar/Lunar Correlations to Short-Term Trading Reversals” (Vol.4).
Beginning with “The Gold Book” Ray has identified Level 1, 2, & 3 Geocosmic signatures. These are astrological phenomena categorized per Ray’s research into the reliability of each. With the FAR program, you do not need to refer to the book because the program allows you to just plot these dates onto the price bars. These can be used on the price bar screens for any timeframe, and listed by dates per month. You can print the entire year.
Here is an example:
By going into Planets/Open MMA Window/MMA Studies/Gold Reversals one may choose which Levels for Gold to show on the chart. The price bars for the dates on which a Level 1,2, or 3 “Geocosmic signature” occurs are highlighted in the color corresponding to the Level assigned, Green for Level 1, Red for Level 2 and Blue for Level 3. The final bar in green appeared before the data was in, to alert the user that a Level 1 day is coming up. Once the Levels of aspects appear on the price bars, it may also be interesting to see exactly what the planets and aspects are for each day, and maybe to print out the month or the year in advance for reference. If you click on “MMA Studies” on your MMA Menu Box and then “MMA Research,” a pop up window with a calendar appears. Click on “Month” on the lower left corner of the box, you can see the Levels defined by date for the month on the calendar. You may look up other dates by changing the month, day and year in the calendar. Here is an example:
In the manual which is supplied with the FAR for the Galactic Trader™ program, this example is given showing how when there are a cluster of aspects, the midpoint date is often where you see the price action for your market. I am still using the Gold example, with the Level One bars shown in Red. The user has the option of choosing the colors, or using the defaults.
In this example, we see that the aspects involved in this significant turn in the Gold market are Mercury conjunct (0) Mars, Sun square (90) Uranus, Venus trine (120) Uranus, Neptune Retrograde, and Jupiter trine Saturn, . The user may wish to research to see when those three aspects will again occur close to one another to see if another significant market turn occurred again.
We can choose what aspects we wish to see by selecting them from the Galactic Trader™ Menu item “Planets/Aspects” and filling in what we wish to see. Here is an example:
Once we have made this selection, the chart now shows each of the aspects which the user has identified by color and/or symbol to distinguish. Now the price bars give us the detail behind the Level One indicators we saw in red above.
Now, the user can look forward in time to see if these aspects come together and what impact we see on the price of gold as a result:
I found two examples of those particular aspects occurring close together and each time it represented a trading opportunity.
A planetary ingress is the terminology for when a planet changes from one sign to another. Ray has observed that changes in psychology occur when planets change signs. Therefore, financial astrologers like to keep track of these and it is easy to do with the program. It is also another area where one may wish to do research, to see how your market reacts to different planets in various signs. In the following example, I have used the planetary Ingresses option to color all the bars. I then specified that I wanted Venus Ingresses to be another color to make them stand out on the Silver chart.
Ray has found that Venus in certain signs has a strong correlation to troughs in the Silver Market, as an example of what one may discover using this program.
Go to “MMA Studies/MMA Silver/” and you get a menu of crests, troughs, no crests, no troughs. This is a huge gift! The user has the benefit of all the research that has already been done by Ray, tested in his years of Market Analyst newsletter writing, as just a baseline available with a few clicks of a mouse. With the Fibonacci-Galactic Trader™ programs, you can add the technical analysis layers onto the chart and have everything you want as both a trader and an astrological researcher. The work Ray has done on the silver market is published in his book, as mentioned earlier. The detail of the research includes Sun/Moon combinations, and you get this all in the program.
In addition to Gold and Silver detailed studies included in the program, there is a section for the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), to give insight as to what that market may do. The May 17, 1792 chart of the Buttonwood Agreement is used as the basis for this, and this chart is available in the program, too!
This chart has significant planets at 23-27 degrees of both cardinal and fixed signs, so the program is looking for activity in that area “to report” as points for likely market turns.
As is true for Gold and Silver, the NYSE gives you options for viewing the details of the aspects in the MMA Research box, as well as electing to have the 3 Levels of stock reversals shown on the price bars.
Additionally, Ray Merriman uses the chart of the Federal Reserve to determine likely activity in the bond market, as the Federal Reserve controls the interest rates. Here is an example:
If one wishes to select parameters of movement in price, and then see what percentages of planets in signs, or aspects between planets occur at the points of the troughs, crests, or both, one may do so easily. Select “Planets/Open MMA Window/MMA Studies/ Filtered Waves/Parameters” and a box will appear in which you may select the percentage move you would like to see. Enter what you wish, and click on “Plot” and swing lines will appear showing the points of crests and troughs on your price bars. Now do the same command, but select “Run frequencies” –all, crests or troughs, and the results are calculated for you!
Another great research feature is available by holding down the shift button and clicking with the left side of
your mouse on a price bar. Instantly you may see where the Geocentric and Heliocentric positions of the
planets are the daily bar chosen.
The FAR Program has a selection for “Own Studies” whereby the user may just click on whichever bars one
wishes, and the program will tally all of the planetary and luminary positions for each date clicked, presenting
the results in the formats shown in the Filtered Waves. The program has no way to identify troughs and crests
per your methodology, so you may want to do one sample for crests, and another for troughs, as it is easy to
combine the results of the two for “all.” In the Merriman Market Timing Academy, we are currently using this
feature to correlate the troughs and crests of primary trading cycles to the Geocosmic activity on those dates.
The most time consuming part is just clicking on the bars. (Helpful hint: close your Excel program before
running this feature.)
As planets have elliptical orbits, they spend an unequal amount of time in each of the twelve signs. The
program adjusts for this with both the Baseline Studies option, as well as the ability to adjust for this once the
results have been tabulated, and to print the page with the baseline study numbers on it once that option has
been selected.
There is also a volatility study, which allows one to determine the likely “big range days.” These are days of
opportunity for day traders, but potential surprises as well. Ray likes to take advantage of the big range days
to spend time trading, while avoiding sitting in front of the computer all day for the low volatility days. You
can define what percentage of move from the following options: (Open, High, Low or Close) (-, +, / or *)
(Open, High, Low or Close) (>,< or =)(Percent Value) X (Open, High, Low, Close or 1.)
Once these parameters are set, you have the program “run frequencies” and all of the tables and charts
shown in the Filtered Waves examples are created with your results.
The only remaining feature of the FAR program is called “Baseline,” with one option, called “Run Frequencies.”
This function was created so the user could identify how many possibilities existed in each study conducted
above (Filtered Waves, Own Research or Volatility.) If a Filtered Wave study, for instance, showed Mars in
Aries 15 times and Mars in Pisces 35 times, it would appear that Mars in Pisces is much more significant than
Mars in Aries. This conclusion could be very misleading, because the time sample you are testing could be
skewed with a planet in a particular sign during that sample period, and that is what this function will make
apparent.
In the Volatility Menu, once you have “Run Frequencies” and get the tables of data, you can left click on the
results, and a menu appears with the option “Breakdown.” If you click on a particular box, like Mars in
Capricorn, the program will show you where every planet and luminary was in the instances of Mars in
Capricorn. This allows you to do the research of every planet combination which yielded a day with the
volatility set per your parameter with just one study, and then just clicking on each planet/sign combination of
interest to you to see the percentages of what else was going on in the zodiac at the same time. This is very
powerful information and so easy to find!
In conclusion, with the tools available in the FAR for the
Galactic Trader™ you can readily take advantage of the
research that Ray Merriman has already done on the
following markets: The Dow Jones Industrial Average,
the Gold Market, the Silver Market, and the Bond
Market. These studies resident in the program make it
easy to see which dates are most likely turning points in
the market, by use of the Level 1,2 & 3 indicators,
especially looking at clusters of dates and the midpoint
date within the cluster. You can do a more detailed drill
down on the data to determine if any day is more likely
a trough or a crest by using the “Filtered Waves”
feature, or whether it is actually a very low probability
combination for a reversal. You can do your own
research on the markets using the “own research”
function, where you can accumulate all of the
astrological data of each planet and luminary, its sign
and aspects, simply by clicking on the price bars of the
market you are analyzing.
Within the Galactic Trader™ program there are so
many lovely astrological studies that can be done as
well. You can always choose between Helio (Sun at the
center) positions of the planets or Geo (from the
perspective of the Earth) positions. Beyond longitude,
you may do studies on declination, (very popular with
the Magi Society,) and latitude.
With the Fibonacci Trader™ you have all of the
technical analysis available on your charts, including a
very long list of indicators. I have owned this program
since 1996 and it is still my favorite program to use
every day. Hopefully, you are now more aware of some
of the capabilities of the program.
MMA's Market Timing Academy (MMTA) is a two-year course on market timing taught by Raymond Merriman. Currently there are 30 students (which includes 15 apprentices) enrolled for the two-year program, which includes 8 courses each lasting three days. Open Entry/Open Exit attendees are also allowed to take one course at a time, either live or via DVD or LMS downloadable streaming video. The MMTA takes students through comprehensive instruction starting with the subject of Cycles analysis, which then proceeds to in-depth geocosmic studies correlating with long, intermediate, and then short-term cycle crests and troughs. It then provides instruction on the use of various technical studies within the time band of market timing turning point. This is the first and most in-depth educational venue ever offered on the subject of market timing and Financial Astrology. Each of the 8 courses contains 12-18 lessons each with tests after each lesson and each course. Also, after reach course, the students and apprentices of MMTA are given an assignment project. The following is the paper for one of the assignments turned in by one of the apprentice teams of MMTA following the Course 2 on "Geocosmic Correlations to Long-Term Market Cycles." For further information on this unique academy and other papers, please visit http://www.merrimanmta.com.
Geo Cosmic Correlations to Wheat Cycles (Uranus Pluto and Saturn Neptune Trine)
By Izabella Suleymanova Steve Fellows AnantKasture Jeff Johnsrud
Wheat is being traded in form of trading or other from the era of barter economy to recent advancements of program trading. We were fortunate to have data since year 1784. Here is a long term data for wheat.
Conclusions: The waning trine between Saturn and Neptune is an effective signature correlating to long-term cycles in
Wheat. More often than not, this cycle has coincided with a trough and subsequent price rises of 80% - 150%.
In addition to these current aspects, we will now analyze the entirety of the Uranus and Pluto signatures correlating to
long-term cycles in Wheat.

Comments: Influence of Uranus-Pluto signatures on Wheat prices. We have studied 21 aspects between Uranus and Pluto dating from 1820. 17 aspects (80.1%) coincided with cycle tops or bottoms. Only 4 signatures failed to produce cycle troughs or crests. If we did not count 9 year trough of March 1831 which happened 4 months outside still we have 16 occurrences (76.2%) from total 21 signatures. The number of crests and troughs were the same so there is no prevalence to either crest or trough signatures. There is one exception regarding conjunctions. Both conjunctions we’ve observed coincided with crests. The number of waxing and waning aspects also were the same (7 waxing and 7 waning) so phase of an aspect is not important. So called minor aspects such as semisquare and sesquisquare were quite consistent in producing sizable cycle tops or bottoms. Aspect of sextile was not consistent . We had 4 cases of sextile aspects in our study. Only 2 coincided with cycle crests and trough. Waning sextile of 3.1831 coincided with 9 year trough but was 4 month outside of CTB. Sextile of 9.1968 – 7.1869 failed to produce any cycle. Conclusion: Uranus-Pluto combination has a very high correlation for the reversal from a 4 year or greater cycle crest or trough in the Central Time Band. This planetary combination is rather a general reversal from the trend that occurs 76.2% of the time for 9 year or greater cycle (R/S value of 4.5).
We would like to mention one of our observations, which may not be part of our curriculum, but deserves mention from research perspective. It is related to periodic Eclipse phenomenon. The study includes 10 events. Here are details. Monthly Wheat Prices and the 19 Year Metonic Drought Eclipse Cycle *
8.00 Conclusions: The Metonic Solar Eclipse Drought Cycle * in question starting with the 4/25/1846 eclipse has 6 occurrences of a positive correlation to price moves. These experienced price increases of 16.7% to 150.9% and then declines of 21.1% to 68.4% all within a 2.8 to 5.8 year time span.
The eclipses of 1892 & 1930 were two years early to the 1894 & 1932 price rises of 179.9% and 219.8% that
followed. The 1976 eclipse triggers price rises in 1977. The 1957 eclipse actually coincided with spring rains in 1957. The 1950’s drought had peaked in 1956.

Old Gods … and Gold
To the Incas, gold was the Sweat of the Sun and silver the Tears of the Moon.
It’s believed the Egyptians were the first to smelt the yellow metal – around 3600BC. By
2600 BC, its role was being recorded in hieroglyphs – and by 1223BC it was used in the
making of the funeral mask used to bury Tutankamon.
Around 564BC, the yingyuan, a square cold coin, was in circulation in China.
In the tales of the ancient Greeks, Theia, one of the original Titans, was the god of sight
and shining light. It was she who endowed gold, silver and gems with their brilliance.
Theia married Hyperion and produced three children – Helios the Sun, Selene the Moon
and Eos the Dawn.
We still use the term heliocentric to track planetary movement based on having Helios
as the centre of the solar system.
I mention this background simply because gold has a lot of history associated with the
Sun, across a number of ancient cultures.
In a moment, I’ll show you that it still has!
For all its long history as a trading currency and a store of wealth, trading in gold in a
stock market style of format is a very modern intervention.
And that’s because for thousands of years, governments kept trade in the metal under
rigid control.
In 1933, Americans were banned from holding gold … a ban that wasn’t lifted until 1974.
Comex launched gold trading in the modern format on December 31, 1974 – giving us a
“birth chart”.
The tightest aspect in that birth chart is a square between the Sun and Pluto, the ruler
of hidden wealth and buried treasure.
So, it probably will come as no surprise at all to discover …
The Sun drives gold…
… between Pluto boundaries
I believe this is the first time anyone has published the two key driving forces behind
modern movements in the gold price.
I mean in terms of the Old Gods, of course.
Let’s take another look at how Helios determines how fast gold should rise.
The chart above is a Closing line weekly, with the Sun lines set at their widest, 360
degree level.
It is fairly obvious that the gold price measured in USA dollars tends to follow the angle
of the rising Sun.
And it becomes even more obvious when we swap to OHLC bars and reduce the width
between the Sun lines to 90 degrees – the square.
So, now we know the price of gold not only tends to rise at an angle set by the rising
Sun, but will make shorter-term rallies and declines within channels created by a
narrowing of the original parameters.
Of course, you’re still skeptical.
It’s all well and good to talk about rally angles, but what about the downtrends?
Strange you should ask!
What goes up must come down … on a Helios angle!
Oh, I know … it’s all too silly to believe Theia’s boy brat, a God created before Time
(Cronus/Saturn) was even born, still maintains rulership over what happens with gold.
Sillier still to believe that the rally and decline angles outlined by Helios are stopped
when price comes into contact with the dark Lord of the Underworld and ruler of hidden
treasures, Pluto.
And yet…
Again, the Pluto lines are set at 360 degree width. Breakout above one primary level tends not to stall until contact with the next level.
As you can imagine, this allows us to narrow the Pluto range down to 90 degrees.
While the chart above can be used for setting the long-range price levels, the tighter
chart can be used for finding the likely turning/stalling points of intermediate trends.
This chart reduces the price bars to a weekly level and employs two sets of Pluto lines to
set probable targets at which consolidations or countertrends will come into play.
I have marked the price levels of the current primary Pluto targets on the chart above.
The combination of the Sun and Pluto helps determine the angle and direction of trends
and corrections and sets reliable price targets … even into the future and where no
previous technical levels of Support and Resistance exist.
Finally, we can bring all this together and combine the Old Gods into a daily chart,
allowing us to pinpoint more precisely where we can Enter or Exit shorter-term trades.
