3. Chart 1 was the chart of first trade of Carpenter Technology. CRS

reported earnings on January 25, 2011 with Saturn transiting on the natal
MC. There were some offsetting soft aspects, but Saturn was making a
station and was thus at its slowest and most powerful. The nest result was a
10% drop by mid-day, but then the shares rallied back and closed down by
only 0.4.

4. Chart 2 was the first trade chart of UBS. UBS reported earnings before the
market opened on July 27th. Note the planets on the natal MC: Jupiter and
Uranus. The stock popped up when the market opened.

Part 2: THE EARNINGS SURPRISE METHOD

Earnings Surprise Method General Rules:
1. Look for the most powerful axis in space at earnings reporting time. Examples:
Saturn opposite Uranus in 2008
Saturn opposite Pluto in 2001
1997: Jupiter, Uranus, Neptune all stationed from Oct. 8 to 14.
1994 stationary Uranus was 45 degrees to stationary Saturn.
2. See how this axis hits the charts at the time of an announcement. Most US
companies announce earnings on a calendar-year basis: January, April, July, and
October. Quantitative studies have shown that stocks get most volatile during
these months.
3. EPS announcement dates are obtained at Yahoo Finance-Investing-StocksEarnings Dates and from Rightline
(http://www.rightline.net/calendar/index.html). See attached example.

4. Select those that receive hits to the MC, Sun, Moon or Asc. within 1-2 degrees.
Major axes containing 5-6 planets are also effective. The more, the merrier.
Applying aspects are always stronger than separating aspects.
5. Take this group and see how the progressed charts, direct and converse, are hit.
Hits to the MC are best; the Moon & Sun are no. 2. This makes sense if one
considers the first-trade chart to be a mundane horoscope. The Moon in such a
chart represents the public. The Midheaven, as always, describes the reputation
or public view of the stock. If the MC is very afflicted at the time of an earnings
announcement, then the report will not be well-received, and the stock will
decline. Note that the report itself may not be bad in the sense that the numbers
may not be unfavorable, but the reaction to the numbers will be bearish.
6. Those that receive the most hits are likely to move the most.
7. I recommend selecting about 10 very liquid stocks that have options. Avoid those
that make hard aspects to your horoscope.
8. You will note that stocks in the same industry have shared degree areas- zodiacal
degrees around which planets cluster.
9. It is best to know about the technical chart patterns. Thomas Bulkowskis book,
Encyclopedia of Chart Patterns is recommended.
10. The stocks relative strength is frequently a signal to the subsequent direction.
This is the stock price divided by the appropriate index, such as the S&P 500.
11. Parallels and contraparallels are stronger than conjunctions and oppositions.
Jupiter parallel the Sun of CSCO in the autumn of 2003 on the very day of the
EPS announcement corresponded with a rise of more than 5% on that day. In
general, price moves about 25% more if a hit is from a parallel rather tan a
conjunction. Declination is powerful.
12. Use Johndros concept of time orb. If there is a very close aspect, it dominates all
others in that time period.
13. The importance of the 24th Harmonic- in 2004, I collected all of the horoscopes of
stocks that made big moves. Most of these were on the downside. It was apparent
that many, like KO, had planets in early degrees of cardinal signs. Intel, with the
ascendant at 2 Libra and the MC at 2 Cancer, was hit as was KO. Many of these
charts would have been missed if the researcher did not use the 75, 105, and 165
degree aspects.
14. If you are engaging in risky options trading, you generally want to close the
position in 3 days. Most of the appreciation in the options occurs in day 1, usually
66%. Closing it within a day is best. Make sure the options market is liquid.
15. The 100%/85% rule: If you are 100% certain, you are probably wrong. If you are
85% certain, you have a healthy degree of doubt.
16. A quantitative analyst once calculated that the odds of buying any stock that
increases in price are three-to-one in the investors favor if one is buying in a bull
market. In a bear market, the odds are against the investor by twenty-to-one. These
odds were determined for the overall market, but we must keep in mind that there
are about 90 industry groups in the US that move in their own trends. In 1994, for
example, the S&P barely rose while the semiconductor group was up by 27 percent
and the homebuilding group fell by 40 percent. Stocks of a feather flock together-if

Copyright Cycles Research, USA, 2012

one has a choice of a bullish horoscope in a bullish group, select that one over a
bullish chart in a bearish group.
17. B.F. Kings 1964 PhD dissertation at the U. of Chicago demonstrated that about
70% of all of a stocks movement is caused by the overall market, about 20% is
caused by the industry group, and about 10% actually derives from the company
itself. When looking at a 1st trade chart, keep in mind that one is looking at about
30% or less of the picture.
First Trade Charts
These horoscopes are set up for the date that an issue was listed on a given exchange. The
time is that of the opening of trading for the exchange for that day. The New York Stock
Exchange (NYSE) and the smaller bourses began trading at 10 am until September 30,
1985. Starting on that date, trading began at 9:30 am. Subsequent horoscopes are set for this
earlier time. The center for Wall Street action is the Big Apple, so all charts are set for New
York City.
Dates can now be obtained at NYSE.COM, but check the date versus another source such as
Bloomberg or some trading platform to be certain. Older dates are a bit dodgy because the
NYSE let a group of temps load the original data in. Thus, the IBM date on their site was the
1915 date (the stock of the prior company) and not the 1924 date. One can update data by
referring to Barrons Market Lab each week. See the attached example.
I found a quote from George Bayer dating back 60 years that supports this view:
If listed on an exchange, erect it for the first day of listing on the exchange. In case a
stock first listed on the Curb or some other Exchange, and later transferred to the Big
Board, make a new horoscope for the Big Board and forget about the old listing. That
horoscope died out with the transfer. The time used is 10 am, standard or daylight time
as the case may be. Do not watch for the exact time of the first trade. It might occur at
10:10, 12:15, even the next day, but due to the fact that no important aspect occurred
previously that would have caused a trade, the stock simply did not sell. However, it
could have been traded at 10 am, if one wanted to trade in it. This is important to
recognize.
A bit of explanation about the history of a company and its shares will be helpful in
understanding this concept. First, a business opens its doors. Then, if it has not already, it
incorporates. If shares are sold to the public, the sale takes place through an underwriter.
The underwriter lines up buyers and then sells stock on the initial public offering (IPO) date.
This puts a supply of stock in public and institutional hands. About 5 business days later, the
stock opens trading. A major new issue of a leading company may be listed directly on the
NYSE, as Readers Digest was on February 15, 1990. The two dates, IPO and first listing,
occur close together. I have found the first trade date to be the more important of the two.
Customarily, the chairman or president of the company will go to the floor of the exchange
and make a token, personal purchase of 100 or 1,000 shares to kick off the trading. In the
words of a NYSE official, trading begins "almost immediately." Thus, the choice of the 9:30
or 10:00 am time for the charts is supported by fact.

GOOGS FALL
On April 16, 2011, GOOG reported an earnings disappointment. The stock
fell by 48 points or 8%. Pluto had stationed at 7 Capricorn 30 on the 9th. This
was close enough to an opposition to the 6 Cancer MC. Saturn squared the
progressed MC exactly on the 20th.

Google is a good example of an active stock that moves when the chart is
transited. In 2010, Pluto began to oppose the MC of the stock at 6 Cancer.
The price graph shows the big declines when the company reported EPS in
April and in July.

On July 20, 2007 Google (GOOG- August 19, 2004) fell more than 28
points, almost 20%, when earnings did not meet expectations. We find that:

Saturn was going to be exactly conjunct the Sun on August 8

Saturn was semisquare the progressed MC on July 15
Saturn was conjunct the converse progressed Sun on July 16
Neptune was 135 degrees to the natal MC on July 23
The Uranus station on June 23rd had been 105 degrees to the converse
progressed MC.

The trine of transiting Pluto to the natal Sun on July 19th was insufficient to
offset the weight of these heavy hits.

Textron
Textron (TXT- 12/22/47 at 10am) reported on July 21, 2010 with Jupiter
trine the MC. The planet was going retrograde 2 days later. Note that the orb
is zero in both degrees and minutes. It does not get closer than this.

Next, we will look at a series of such contacts:

Microsofts Midheaven
Microsoft began trading with the MC at 11 Aquarius. Simply by watching the
transits to the MC, I was able to get a good idea of the stocks behavior.

Beginning in 1997, Jupiter and Uranus moved back and forth over the MC at
11 Aquarius. Each earnings report produced a positive and unexpected
surprise. The share price jumped in almost every quarter. The following transit
report of Jupiter and Uranus to the natal MC tells the story:

The first graph is a daily chart of 1997 demonstrating how Jupiter, Uranus and
their midpoint energized the MSFT MC in each quarter, sending the shares up.
The second graph shows the last positive contact, a Uranus station in October
of 1999 which was separating from the MC. Again, the stock popped up. But
here is where the bullish run of MC hits ran out and the storm clouds rolled in.
The January Saturn station was square the MC. In the absence of any
offsetting positive aspects, the shares sank. Note how MSFT fell until the last
quarter of 2000 when the Jupiter station at 10 Gemini trined the MC. The rally
was short-lived as Saturn came in to contra-parallel the MC.
Test of Tech Share Price Movement In The 60 Days Around The
Transit Of Jupiter To The MC
Stocks= 30
Time Period= 26 years
Average annual price appreciation= 22.5%
In the 12 days prior to Jupiter conjoining the MC, until 2 days after= 12.4%
in 14 days
Occurred= 76% of the time

Declination-To demonstrate the power of declination, we will look at the

natal first-trade chart of IBM. Note that natal Uranus is at 16 Pisces in close
aspect to Mars and Jupiter at 16 Pisces and the Moon at 14 Gemini. A test of
lunar transits over natal Uranus was run over an 8-year period. If one simply
bought and held IBM for 8 years, the return would have been 4.5% annually.
If one bought IBM shares in the week before the Moon conjoined natal
Uranus and sold on the day after the conjunction, the annual gain would
have been 14.5%. However, by flipping the switch to declination, the annual
gain rises to 16.5%. Thus, we can see the value added by declination.

THIRD QUARTER 2006

COSTCO
Jupiter was exactly sextile the progressed MC on October 12, the day of the
earnings release. Jupiter was also conjunct Mercury on the 17th, and was
heading for the natal Pluto-ascendant conjunction at the end of the month.
There was an upcoming new Moon on the 22nd at 29 Libra on the natal SunJupiter conjunction. On the day of the lunation, there was a Mercury-Jupiter
conjunction at 23 Scorpio near the natal Mercury-Pluto-ascendant
conjunction. Transiting Pluto was very close to a trine to the converse
progressed (CP) MC; it was exact on the 1st. The November 29 Neptune
station was trine the CP Sun within 48 minutes of arc.
COST jumped about $4. The call options began the 11th trading at 1.00 and
rose to 1.25 by the end of the day. The earnings exceeded expectations and
the calls rose to a high of 4.20 on the 12th, before settling at about 3.80 at the
close. I sold the calls at the close of the day of the announcement. Note how
the stock did not exceed that high in the days following. The calls drifted
down to the $3 area. Thus, selling on the day of the announcement
maximized the gain.
This example is important for three reasons:
It demonstrates the importance of an exact hit to the MC, the
progressed MC in this case, on the day of an EPS announcement.
It shows the importance of taking the position on the close on the day
before the announcement, followed by the sale on the day of the
announcement. Most of the appreciation in the options will occur in
the day of the announcement.
The technicals indications supported the positive planetary
indications. Note that the momentum oscillator in the second strip
shows higher lows. In addition, note that the relative strength versus
the NASDAQ 100 broke its downtrend line on the day before the
announcement. Also note that the share price was in a triangle,
approaching the apex. The stock was due to move one way or the
other.

PART 3: INDUSTRY FORECASTS

The Software Group
It is remarkable to note that software giants Microsoft, Oracle (ORCL), and
Intuit (INTU) have both the midheaven and the Sun in approximately in the
same degree. This is why most stocks within an industry move together. This
leads to the next topic, industry group movements.

The movements of the three stocks do not necessarily match for a couple of reasons. First, ORCL does not
release earnings on a calendar-year basis (January-April-July-October). Therefore, the aspects to the MC did
not necessarily occur at the times of the earnings announcements. Second, there are predictive techniques that
are horoscope-specific, such as progressions. In the MSFT chart, Uranus made a station by secondary
progression in February of 2000 at 22 Sagittarius 22, only one minute from natal Mars and square the natal Sun.
The governments assault against the company became a factor which weighed the shares down. Why own this
stock when one could own another software stock that did not carry this risk? This powerful progression only
occurred in the MSFT chart and not in the others.

Copyright Cycles Research, USA, 2012

22

The Computer Hardware Group

Let us look at the technology group as a second example. IBM, Microsoft,
Compaq, and Oracle are leaders in their fields. The first-trade charts all have
some very close and dynamic aspects as laid out below:
IBM (2/14/24): Mars= 16 Sag 33; Jupiter= 16 Sag 03; Uranus= 16 Pisces 14;
Moon= 14 Gemini 07.
Microsoft (3/13/86): Sun= 22 Pisces 43; Mars= 22 Sag 23; Uranus= 22 Sag
17.
Compaq (12/10/85): Sun= 18 Sag 29; Uranus= 18 Sag 13.
Oracle (3/12/86): Sun= 21 Pisces 43; Mars= 21 Sag 50; Uranus= 22 Sag 16.
Lexmark (11/15/95): Venus= 15 Sag; Mars= 19 Sag; Jupiter= 19 Sag; Saturn=
18 Pisces
Computer Assoc. (9/11/86): Sun=18 Virgo 31; Uranus=18 Sag. 27; Moon= 21
Sag. 44;
Jupiter= 17 Pisces 46
These stocks and the overall market topped with the solar eclipse of March 9,
1997 at 18 Pisces 31. The Mars station of April 27,1997 at 16 Virgo 44
occurred as these stocks hit lows and suddenly jumped into new uptrends.
It is easy to see how activity at 16 to 22 mutable would affect all of the
horoscopes. By working with horoscopes from the same industry, one will see
how the stocks are tied together in this fashion. Actually, there are many about
30 to 40 tech horoscopes with planets at these degrees including Dell, Hewlett
Compaq, Apple, Intuit, and Quantum to name a few.
In late March of 1997, I forecast a jump in these stocks in an article on the
internet. Mars was making a station at 16 Virgo in April. This sent IBM up. In
the next April (1998), Jupiter was in mid-Pisces, approaching the tech shareddegree area with Venus. IBM was giving daily and weekly technical buy
signals. The combination of these signals and Jupiter activating the first-trade
chart was an early warning of a run. The next two graphs depict the action.

In November of 1998, Jupiter and Mercury stationed at 18 Pisces and 18

Sagittarius, respectively. This again activated the degree area, leading to an
acceleration that propelled the tech sector into the number one spot for the
entire year. Earnings reports came in way over estimates, as signalled by the
stations of Mercury and Jupiter. Microsoft's (MSFT) earnings were up 75 per
cent, quite a feat for a company of that size. I foresaw this low 6 months in
advance, making the prediction in Dell Horoscope magazine in the October
1998 issue.

Jupiter enters Gemini on June 11.

The scan was opened up to include the 4 major asteroids. The Gemini scan
showed:

Many stocks with 3 planets in Gemini

There were 24 with 4 planets and points in the sign of the twins
5 charts had 15 Gemini planets
4 horoscopes had 6 in Gemini.

Hewlett Compaq (HPQ- May 6, 2002) The chart has 4 planets, the Node and
an asteroid in Gemini.
Phoenix Companies (PNX- June 20, 2001) There are 5 planets plus an
asteroid in Gemini, including the Moon and the Sun. Also, the progressed
Sun sextiles the MC during most of the year. Transiting Pluto trines the
Taurus MC for most of the year.
Kraft Foods (KFT- June 13, 2001) manufactures and markets packaged food
products worldwide. There are 4 planets plus an asteroid in Gemini. Neptune
sextiles the MC all year.

Copyright Cycles Research, USA, 2012

28

Furmanite Corporation (FRM- June 18, 2001) There are 4 planets and an
asteroid in Gemini, including the Sun and Jupiter. The stock is likely to
outperform over the next year.
Briggs and Stratton (BGG- July 5, 1929) Jupiter will pass right over the 1
Gemini, the same degree that was eclipsed on May 20th. Jupiter will conjoin
natal Jupiter at 5 Gemini, followed by Mercury at 21 and the Moon at 24.

A FINAL NOTE
AMLN rose on buyout speculation in late March. The May 20th solar eclipse
is 180 to the converse progressed MC. Jupiter will run right over this degree
in the first half of June. There will likely be renewed speculation at that
time.
