The Lunar Cycle | Carol S. Mull

Carol S. Mull (198?) - The lunar cycle was first studied and presented to the faculty of the Graduate School of Pace University by Frank J. Guarino, in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Master of Business Administration degree. Later, his thesis was published by the American Federation of Astrologers. Modern cyclists have carried Guarino's work much farther. Today, it is possible to predict the market with 70% accuracy using only the lunar cycle.

 

The Sun and the Moon are in square aspect (90°) during the first and last quarters, in opposition (180°) at the Full Moon, and in conjunction (0°) at the New Moon. They are in sextile (60°) between the New Moon and the first quarter and between the last quarter and the New Moon. For precise work, compute a heliocentric chart for the times that the Moon, Earth, and Sun are in exact aspect. Unless there are other overshadowing influences, trines (120°) and conjunctions will be up, squares will be down, oppositions will be somewhat up, and sextiles can be either direction.

Most financial astrologers will tell you that oppositions (Full Moons) will sent the market down, but my experience does not verify this. Apparently, the momentum of being between two trines will carry the opposition along. If the next aspect following a sextile is a conjunction, the sextile is likely to correlate with an upward movement. But if the aspect following a sextile is a square, the sextile is likely to be accompanied by a downward-moving market. 

Another lunar cycle concerns the elements. The market tends to move up whenever the Moon is in an Air [Gemini, Libra, Aquarius] or Fire sign [Aries, Leo, Sagittarius] and to move downward whenever the Moon is in an Earth [Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn] or Water sign [Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces]. Other recent experiments have attempted to be the Moon's velocity and the angular rates of positive acceleration or negative acceleration to the market. These have been inconclusive.

S&P 500 Index vs True and Mean Lunar Orbital Velocity | February 2018

The Moon moves around the Earth in 27.32166 days or one sidereal period of revolution. As it does this its position changes, relative to the stars. Since there are 360 degrees in a circle, the Moon moves on the average 360 degrees / 27.32166 days = 13.17636 degrees of geocentric longitude per day to the east and relative to the stars (Mean Orbital Speed = red dotted line in the chart). However, this is the Moon’s theoretical mean orbital speed, met only twice for seconds per lunar month. Since the orbit of the Moon is distinctly elliptical it causes variations in the angular speed (True Orbital Speed) as it moves towards and away from the Earth: when closest to the Earth (perigee), the Moon moves faster (up to 16.72 degrees/day), while when furthest (apogee), slower (down to 10.43 degrees/day).
