When I first started writing my thoughts on financial astrology, I approached the subject from the stance that astrology events impacted human emotion which in turn impacted buying and selling behavior on the markets.

I still believe this to be true, but I have broadened my stance somewhat.

If you were to step out onto a busy sidewalk in any major global city and ask 100 random people when Mercury was Retrograde or when Venus would be at Inferior Conjunction or when Mars would be passing 14 of Cancer you would be lucky to find but a handful of people who knew what you were asking them.

Is it then possible that behind the curtain in Chicago, London, New York there are clever people who orchestrate short term trend changes on the markets at these key astrology events? If the average man (investor) on the street is otherwise ignorant of astrology, such manipulative efforts could easily succeed. Fear and greed move markets and once the trend change has been orchestrated, fear and greed will take over to establish some momentum and some profit for those in control.

As a simple exercise, take a global stock index of your choosing. Overlay this chart with Mercury Retrograde events and see how well these events align to pivot swing points. Not all pivots are huge swings, but to a party trading large numbers of contracts these pivots would be money makers.

Take a look at some Commodity futures from the CBOT and overlay Mercury Retrograde events. You will see the same general alignment to pivot swing points.

There is more than just Mercury at work here. Consider also Venus cycles, Mars cycles and Moon cycles.

In my opinion, Astrology is the secret language of the select few who are in control of the financial markets. In my efforts as a writer and blogger, all I am trying to do is create a following of like-minded people who are interested in following some of these pivotal swings across stocks, commodities and indices. After all, why should only a select few enjoy all the spoils of astrology?
