Before and after lunar and solar eclipses, the True Lunar Node starts wobbling (e.g., on Jul 16–17, 2019), moving quickly back and forth—retrograde, stationary, then direct. Financial markets correlate with this 4- to 14-day cycle of the retrograde–stationary–direct motion of the True Lunar Node.
About every 86.655 days, a so-called “moon wobble” (lunar libration) occurs when the Sun is conjunct (e.g., on Aug 16, 2017), opposite, or square (0°, 90°, 180°, 270°) to the Lunar Node (4 × 86.655 days = 1 nodical year, or eclipse year = 346.62 days). The Node starts wobbling about two weeks before the exact event and remains unstable until about one week after. If coupled with solar and lunar eclipses, the wobble effect can be extended. As the Sun approaches conjunction or opposition to the Lunar Node, its motion is almost blocked (with speed at or near zero). Notably, these periods are associated with exuberant mood and frenzy, often correlating with rallies or crashes in financial markets.
