S&P 500 vs True Lunar Node Speed | Exuberant Mood and Frenzy

The Lunar Node Wobble:
Node @ 0 = Nov 29 (Fri), max Direct @ High = Dec 02 (Mon), @ 0 = Dec 04 (Wed), Mean @ -0.053 = Dec 07 (Sat),
max Retrograde @ Low = Dec 09 (Mon), @ -0.053 = Dec 10 (Tue), @ 0 = Dec 14 (Sat), @ High = Dec 17 (Tue),
@ 0 = Dec 19 (Thu), @ Low Dec 23 (Mon), Annular Solar Eclipse = Dec 26 (Thu), @ 0 = Dec 27 (Thu),
@ High = Dec 27 (Sun), @ 0 = Dec 31 (Tue), @ Low = Jan 01 (Wed), @ 0 = Jan 03 (Fri), @ High = Jan 07 (Tue),
@ 0 and Penumbral Lunar Eclipse = Jan 10-11 (Fri-Sat), @ Low = Jan 13 (Mon), @ 0 = Jan 18 (Sat), etc.

Before and after lunar and solar eclipses, the True Lunar Node begins to wobble (e.g., Dec 26, 2019 (Thu) = annular solar eclipse; Jan 10–11, 2020 (Sat–Sun) = penumbral lunar eclipse), moving rapidly back and forth—retrograde, stationary, then direct (see “Moon Wobbles” in a NASA animation here). Financial markets are said to correlate with this 4–14 day cycle of retrograde–stationary–direct motion of the True Lunar Node.  

 

Approximately every 86.655 days, a so-called “moon wobble” (lunar libration) occurs when the Sun is conjunct, 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 begins wobbling about two weeks before the exact event and remains unstable until about one week after. 

 

If coupled with solar or lunar eclipses, the wobble effect can be extended. As the Sun approaches conjunction or opposition to the Lunar Node, its motion is nearly 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.

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.

S&P 500 Index vs Lunar Year Cycle | Blood Moon Eclipse on July 27

 

 

The total phase of the “blood moon” eclipse on July 27 (Fri) will last 1 hour and 43 minutes, making it the longest total lunar eclipse of the 21st century. During the eclipse, the Moon will turn a spectacular red, while the red planet Mars reaches opposition to the Sun on the same day. Mars will appear brightest in the night sky from July 27 (Fri) to July 30 (Mon), and its closest approach to Earth will occur on July 31 (Tue).

The Moon’s wobble periods during lunar and solar eclipses usually coincide with major highs and lows in financial markets, and the Lunar Year Cycle (354.36 calendar days) projects a low in the S&P 500 on August 8 (Wed), which is also 181 calendar days (or 184.74 solar degrees) from the major low in stocks on February 8 (Thu), 2018.

 

July 23-24 (Mon-Tue) Low and upturn, July 27 (Fri) High, and August 8 (Wed) Low in the S&P 500?

Lunar eclipses (e.g., Aug 07, 2017) occur at full moon, and solar eclipses (e.g., Aug 21, 2017) occur at new moon, but only when their alignments take place in three dimensions. Relative to Earth’s orbit, the plane of the Moon’s orbit is inclined, with a mean inclination of 5.1454°. Eclipses occur only near the nodes, where the lunar orbit intersects the solar orbital plane. Earth’s mean orbital plane is called the ecliptic (a term synonymous with “eclipse”).

There are two nodal crossings of the ecliptic per nodal period: the ascending node and the descending node. Half the nodal period is the shortest possible interval between two eclipses. Solar and lunar eclipses differ significantly: during a total solar eclipse, the Moon’s shadow forms only a narrow band on Earth, whereas Earth’s conical shadow at the Moon’s mean distance is over 9,000 km wide—nearly three lunar diameters. As a result, only a small percentage of people experience each solar eclipse, while roughly half the world can view each lunar eclipse.

Before and after lunar and solar eclipses, the True Lunar Node begins to wobble (e.g., around Jul 30, 2017), moving rapidly back and forth—retrograde, stationary, then direct. Financial markets are said to correlate with this 4–14 day cycle of retrograde–stationary–direct motion of the True Lunar Node.

Approximately every 86.655 days, a so-called “moon wobble” (lunar libration) occurs when the Sun is conjunct (e.g., Aug 16, 2017), opposite, or square (0°, 90°, 180°, 270°) the Lunar Node (4 × 86.655 days = 1 nodical year, or eclipse year = 346.62 days). The Node begins wobbling about two weeks before the exact event and remains unstable until about one week after. If coupled with solar or lunar eclipses, the wobble effect can be extended.

As the Sun approaches conjunction or opposition to the Lunar Node, its motion is nearly blocked (speed at or near zero). Notably, these periods are associated with exuberant mood and frenzy, often correlating with rallies or crashes in financial markets.

The Depiction of Time and Space out of Scipio's Dream

It is common to think of statistical graphics and data visualization as relatively modern developments in statistics. In fact, the graphic representation of quantitative information has deep roots, reaching into the histories of the earliest map making and visual depiction of astronomy, and later into thematic cartography and many other fields. The idea of coordinates was used by ancient Egyptian surveyors in laying out towns, earthly and heavenly positions were located by something akin to latitude and longitude by at least 200 B.C., and the map projection of a spherical Earth into latitude and longitude by Claudius Ptolemy (85–165) in Alexandria would serve as reference standards until the 14th century. 

Planetary movements shown as cyclic inclinations over time, by an unknown astronomer, appearing in a
10th-century appendix to commentaries by Macrobius on Cicero’s Somnium Sciponis. This is the earliest
known 2-dimensional charts (plotting time vs. celestial latitude; an apparent anomaly is that it appears to
show the celestial latitude of the Sun varying with time); the scribe used horizontal and vertical lines as
aids, resulting in a picture strikingly similar to modern graph paper as it did not become commonly used
before the mid 19th century, some 700 years later. This picture is a notable anomaly, as the earliest
comparable "graph" diagram do not emerge prior to the late medieval period, some 250 years after
this drawing was made. Source: Wikimedia.

Among the earliest graphical depictions of quantitative information is the above anonymous 10th-century multiple time-series graph of the changing position of the seven most prominent heavenly bodies over space and time. The vertical axis represents the inclination of the planetary orbits; the horizontal axis shows time, divided into 30 intervals. The sinusoidal variation with different periods is notable, as is the use of a grid,suggesting both an implicit notion of a coordinate system and something akin to graph paper, ideas that would not be fully developed until the 1600-1700s. In the 14th century, the idea of plotting a theoretical function (as a proto bar graph) and the logical relation between tabulating values and plotting them appeared in a work by Nicole Oresme (1323-1382), Bishop of Liseus, followed somewhat later by the idea of a theoretical graph of distance vs. speed by Nicolas of Cusa.
