Happy Solar Return to Leo Suns and early Virgo Suns! 

Happy Solar Return to all of our Leo friends born between July 30th and August 22nd.  This is a good year to plan your trips abroad and to even take a few interesting classes. You should avoid high calorie food. You will enjoy an active year and do not need any extra weight.

Virgo Suns born August 23rd through August 27th - The year ahead promises extra income from you work . Folks see you as an effective leader and give you extra projects. Now is the time to build your rainy day fund account.

Both signs will be very busy throughout the year ahead. Leo’s are working hard to increase their knowledge and learning new skills. This year will be an excellent time to find a new hobby and sign up for classes to advance your skills. Early Virgos will be asked to manage or lead various projects at work or in their community. Virgo’s ability to find the most efficient way to accomplish a task will be recognized and they will be asked to teach others their skills.

This Month For Leo

This is your month to read and relax. Enjoy your local parks, museums and festivals. Grab your various repair kits and fix everything that is broken. Be sure to double check your work.

This Month For Virgo

This month your leadership skills are in demand. Consider allowing others to pay you for these skills. Be careful with your money this month.  Keep filling your piggy bank. You are busy working, but try to give yourself a bit of time just to relax and enjoy some outdoor fun.

Advice for everyone - August promises to be an excellent month to plan a vacation.  Suggestion: Visit local attractions and historic monuments. Long Void of Course Moons dominate the month. Avoid the souvenir shops and limit your grocery shopping to food that is in season. Save your receipts. This is not a good month for coupon shoppers.

Household Hint: Thrifty is the new status symbol. Spend your extra funds on repairs, read the interesting books you have downloaded, and organize your personal space. Trust your previous investment decisions.

The Moods of the Moon

An article from our web site on Profitable Stock Trading using the Moon Cycles by Randall Ashbourne.

Trading the mood swings of the monthly Lunar cycle will produce three-to-six times the profit of a simple, buy-and-hold strategy. I know that’s a dramatic call, but I intend to prove it.

All astrologers, and not a few experienced traders, know that – statistically – Full Moons tend to occur near temporary price lows and that New Moons tend to occur near short-term price highs.

And we all know there are Lies, Damned Lies – and Statistics. Many of the Lunar trading articles found easily on the internet tend to suggest the potential gains are relatively minor, or that the phenomenon inverts so often that it can’t be used as a reliable trading technique.

Even if we go to the trouble of mapping the Loonytoons on a price chart, a simple eyeball of the chart tends to make us think it works some of the time, but can be downright dangerous to our cash at other times – as with this 2011 chart of the SP500.
What “eyeballing” does is give you an impression. It doesn’t give you the facts.

Over the past year I decided to test the assertions for myself and log the results in a spreadsheet to test just how profitable it is to trade the mood swings of the Moon. The results were simply mind-blowing.(click the image to view larger size)

Not simply because they showed truly massive stock market profits during certain periods, but also because they showed when it was absolutely UNSAFE to risk your money.

What I discovered was that, statistically, the old assertions not only hold up, but when traded consistently over time, produce big profits for small amounts of time exposed to market conditions.

By introducing a simple mechanical filter before making a decision to trade, the spreadsheets showed not only which Moon phases could be traded safely, and when, but which trades should NOT be placed under any circumstances.

The results were so staggering they form a standalone system of trading in my new book, The Idiot and the Moon. But the proof of the pudding is in the eating, so let’s see what the facts are when we trade The Moods of The Moon during the first 6 months of 2011 on the SP500.

The Idiot & The Moon, Compleat & Utter Lunatic Idiot's Guide to Trading Stocks

Author of The World at Large reports for Astrological Investing, Randall Ashbourne, a former journalist and political strategist turned stock trader, has written an eBook designed specifically to help new traders find their feet – or burned out traders regain theirs.  Randall's book combines years of trading experience with a keen understanding of which technical tools work, as well as some unique astro-trading discoveries.

Randall is a dedicated student of astrology, has used astrological techniques combined with technical analysis as a stock market trader. His background in journalism made him well equipped to research and write, a talent that he used much to the wide approval from readers of his World At Large reports,  a previously posted weekly technical marketing report written for Astrological Investing.  Since then, Randall has been heavily engaged in trading the stock market - as well as researching and refining methods to increase profitability.

Readers and subscribers who have been with us back when Randall wrote the weekly reports, remember Randall's other widely read and highly regarded articles on our web site; two of his most popular, almost timeless and definitely worth re-reading, are: The War of the Gods , and The DOW Theory.  Though written several years ago they are filled with helpful knowledge of how the markets are influenced.

On a personal note, Randall shared his trading techniques that he outlines in his book with me approximately 6 months ago; since then I have been using these techniques in my trading.  His new book, titled, The Idiot & The Moon, Compleat & Utter Lunatic Idiot's Guide to Trading Stocks is now available in our Astrology Shop.

This is a short and simple, yet serious book that promises to increase your profitability and reduce your trading losses using a unique trading tool he calls "The Idiot".  This book explains a simple method that will tell you "precisely what to watch for so you can let your profits run safely and exactly when you need to cut your losses and get out fast." ( Randall Ashbourne) 

 Randall's Idiot is nothing less than brilliant!  

It has been an incredibly accurate and predictive tool for trading and I would NEVER buy another stock without using these techniques! - Marley

Readers interested in Randall's trading techniques will be intrigued by his latest article on our web site, Moods of The Mood - in which he states, "Trading the mood swings of the monthly Lunar cycle will produce three-to-six times the profit of a simple, buy-and-hold strategy. I know that’s a dramatic call, but I intend to prove it... (read Moods of the Moon)
