The Cardinal Cross of 2010

Submitted by Roanman on Thu, 06/17/2010 - 06:02

 

In the interest of full disclosure, I'll begin this post by stating unequivocally that I only sort of know what I'm talking about here.

And ......

Let me continue by offering the following two words to those of you who find yourselves reflexively reaching for your telephone.

Caller ID.

You will remember from previous discussions having to do with the Bradley Model, found here, here, and of course over there.

The summer of 2010 reeks of doom.

And so far, considering a monumental ecological disaster in the Gulf of Mexico, not one, but two active volcanos thinking about erupting in Iceland, an extremely impressive meltdown of the world's #2 reserve currency, the governments of the eighth and twelfth (I think) largest economies in the world (California and New York) teetering on the brink of bankcrupcy, and ..... as a sweetner a couple of carrier groups and a nuclear armed submarine either heading for or already in the Persian Gulf ...

 

I'm giving the thing high scores for accuracy.

 

So ... just what exactly is the Bradley Model ... ummmm ... modeling ... viewing ... following ... I dunno ... doing.

As I explained once before.

It is simply charting the sum (positive or negative) of a set of mathematical values Mr. Bradley attached to the angles of relationship between the Sun, the Moon, and the planets within an astrological chart.

Planets in relationship of or near 0, 60, 90, 120 and 180 degrees were considered and a value (again positive or negative) was assigned each.

The positive or negative values were assigned on the basis of the historic consensus having to do with the benefic, or malefic qualities of each planet within each angular relationship between the planets.

Got it this time?

Don't worry about it.  Here's all you gotta know.

Up is good, down is bad.

Here it is again.

 


Here's the Bradley Model for 2010 from Amanita.

 

.

 

The following is the daily astrological chart taken for exactly 12 noon of June 19, 2010 at Chicago illinois,USA.

It is a chart exactly like the following from which the calculations were created/taken to create the above charts.

Got that?

Don't worry about it.

Green is good, Red is bad, Purple isn't terrible, but it ain't all that helpful either..

Why noon? Why Chicago?

Just being arbitrary.

 

 

Now .....I know exactly what you're thinking here.

Huh? ... or worse.

I understand completely and I am here to help you.

If you want to, you can safely ignore everything from here, all the way to ......

To begin with, you need to know the planets.

The purple 4 at about 9 o'clock is Jupiter.

On the positive side, Jupiter represents prosperity, growth, expansion.

On the negative side, Jupiter is inflation, over eating (spiritual, economic or physical) mistakes from overconfidence.

The light blue oval also wearing a crown at also at about 9 o'clock is Uranus.

Uranus is sudden, unexpected, explosive happenings, accidents.

Uranus is also genius, intuition, vision and breakthroughs.

The dark green th looking thing at 3 o'clock is Saturn. 

On the positive side, Saturn is common sense, practical, steady, discipline, structure.

On the negative side, Saturn is hard lessons, limits, obstruction, it's the ass kicking you typically get when you screw up.

The pink cup holding a ball is Pluto.

Pluto is endings and new beginnings, death and birth, upheaval, transformation, destruction, power struggles, revolution, crime, secret police, spies, hidden things, mines and wells.

The purple pitchfork at about 10 o'clock is Neptune.

Neptune is inspiration, spirituality, sensitivity, idealism, self sacrifice, utopia, collective society, dreams, glamor, fantasy, illusion, delusion, deceit, fog, fumes, drugs, alcohol and addictions.

The golden dot within a circle at about 6 o'clock is the Sun.

The Sun is the individual, the authentic self, the will and the ego.

It also represents the national leader, power, authority.

The silver crescent is of course the Moon.

The Moon is the unconscious mind, that which you know without thinking.

In mundane astrology it is the people, the masses and women.

The red sign of the male is of course Mars, the god of war with all that implies.

The sign of the female is Venus, the goddess of love.

The little brown horny looking thing at about 6:30 is Mercury.

Mercury is thinking, communication, transportation.

Mercury is also writers, agents, public speakers, travelers, and tricksters.

..... here.

Planets sharing the same point of the circle tend to cooperate, or excite one another.

Planets at in opposite points of the circle conflict with each other (Red Lines).

Planets at 90 degree angles create friction between themselves (Red Lines).

Planets at 60 or 120 degree angles tend to assist one other (Green Lines).

Got all that?

At the risk of becoming redundant, don't worry about it.

Green is good, red is bad, purple isn't terrible, but it ain't all that helpful either.

We continue (all the while pushing the boundaries of Drupal).

The Cardinal Cross of 2010 continues

Submitted by Roanman on Thu, 06/17/2010 - 06:01

 

All right, here's June 26, 2010, still noon in Chicago.

The reds thicken as the planets cluster in squares and opposition.

 

 

June 29, 2010, green disappears.

 

 

July 2, 2010 the greens return as the Moon makes nice with the Sun and Mercury, and the Sun and Mercury make nice with Mars (always a good thing).

 

 

 On July 23, 2010 the Moon plays nice with Neptune, while Uranus and Jupiter spend some quality time with the Sun who continues to make nice with Mars (still a good thing).

 

 

By July 27, 2010 much of the niceness is tapering off, leaving lots af opposition, friction, exciting and little else.

 

 

Red lines thicken as green lines disappear.

 

 

Until on August 6, 2010 all niceness disappears again as Uranus and Jupiter stand together in opposition with Venus, Saturn and Mars (never a good thing).

 

 

Until on August 7, 2010 the formation becomes complete as the Moon and Pluto also oppose each other while squaring everyone else.

The "Cardinal Cross".

It's Cardinal because of a bunch of stuff I don't have the energy to go into right now, but you can trust me on this one.

To quote Fred Fenster once again,

"This is very bad."

 

  

There remains much opposition and friction until the end of August.

 

 

 

Feel free to think me nuts.

Gold and Cash.

Maybe oil.

Short something else if you have the cajones.

I have ... a little.

 

The Bradley Model Re-revisited

Submitted by Roanman on Mon, 05/24/2010 - 13:46

 

If you remember .....

In our last two episodes of The Bradley Model we discussed the fact that an outstanding opportunity to test the model's predictive powers was upon us beginning March 1, 2010.

Click the chart below for the amanita.at site.

 

 

We also discussed the caveat invariably issued by Bradley believers that the model is better suited for predicting turning points than for determining market direction.

To which I say rude noise (pick your favorite).

I want my models to make me rich by virtue of infallible predictive power.

Maybe I am being unreasonable, but that's what I want.

So, as disclosed earlier, I'm short of the S&P 500 (to quote Dennis Gartman) and pretty damn happy.

Long of Gold, Canadian and U.S. Cash and pretty damn happy about that as well.

Below is the S&P 500 from December 2009 to May 21, 2010.

It doesn't physically line up with the Bradley chart above, the vertical lines fall on March 1, April 1 and May 1 respectively.

So you're gonna have to line it up in your own mind's eye.

And the verdict?

Not horrible.

3/1 turned up, as did app. 4/1.

You can figure out the rest for yourself. 

 

You can do what you want, but with the possible exception of more Gold, I'm not buying anything much before the middle of August.

 

The Bradley Model revisited

Submitted by Roanman on Sun, 02/21/2010 - 12:32

 

OK, here's the Bradley Model for the years 2008-10 from Manfred Zimmel.

All of the Bradley Model charts link to his site aminita.at.

I don't as of yet have much experience with aminita.at.

They aren't cheap.

I am.

So far it's been an emotional back and forth.

I downloaded their 2009 report after it went free. It was pretty right on.

As was my friend Richard Nolle at astropro.com

The second chart is that of the S&P 500 for 2008.

You will notice that the 2008 Bradley chart catches both the June turning point and the September dive of all things financial.

 

 

The 2009 hit pretty close the February turning point, then caught the turn, but flat out missed the accelerating upward drive from July through the end of the year.

Which brings me to the caveat in bright red ink stamped right there on the chart.

The Bradley predicts turning points ONLY and not the polarity, i.e. a high in the chart may also be a low, and vice versa.

I don't like that. C'mon, grow a pair!!!

 

.

 

 

I do the same thing for each chart, on one I get a frame, the other no.  Makes me nutsl!!!

The reason I bring all this up?

Another test for "The Bradley" occurs March 1, 2010 through August 10, 2010

 

 

Now you're warned.

As for me, I'm gonna enjoy life over here on the sidelines.

 

OK, OK I'll admit it.

I'm short a little.

Seems prudent. 

 

The Bradley Model

Submitted by Roanman on Mon, 02/15/2010 - 06:37

 

The Bradley Model is a chart constructed on a set of astrological parameters defined by Donald A. Bradley in his famed 1948 book, Stock Market Prediction (The Planetary Barometer and How to Use it).

The foreward, by Llewellyn George begins as follows:

"Although this text is not primarily intended to be a stock market forecaster, yet by judicious operators it is quite likely to become their most valued treasure for anticipating trends and changes which are due to mass mind activity.

It tells how to properly chart that psychological activity in compliance with well known planetary forces."

OK, now I understand fully that your first inclination here will be to laugh like hell, and go to chaneling Festus, who once famously said to the apostle Paul, "You are beside yourself!  Much learning is driving you mad!"

Especially those of you who insist on picking up the telephone in order to offer a personal harangue over any mostly innocent notion I may have that doesn't correspond perfectly with your own personal world view.

YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE !!!

Before you go there however, consider this.

If you're a Christian, and I know for a fact that a mess of you are.

On the fourth day, God himself said, and I'm quoting here,

"Let there be lights in the firmament of the heavens to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs and seasons, and for days and years."

The word Lunacy is derived from the same root as the word Lunar, Luna the Roman moon goddess. This relationship extends to other languages, most notably Welsh where these two words are lloer and lloerig.

Regardless of you spiritual inclination, anecdotal evidence persists regarding police department and emergency rooms ramping up during full moons, although there is almost no scientific or statistical evidence of any correlation between the full moon and increased crime, emergency room visits, births or anything else.  

Almost without exception, every study that has been able to demonstrate any correlation between the full moon and any studied event has been subsequently debunked.  What's most interesting here is that the debunkers almost universally believe in "Global Warming" (Just Kidding)

The Chart below is that for the "Bradley Model" calculated from about 1840 through about 2040.

It is simply charting the sum (positive or negative, zero is down the middle) of a set of mathematical values Bradley attached to the angles of relationship between the Sun, the Moon, and the planets that make up our solar system.

Planets in relationship of or near 0, 60, 90, 120 and 180 degrees were considered and a value (again positive or negative) was assigned each.

The positive or negative values were assigned on the basis of the historic consensus having to do with the benefic, or malefic qualities of each planet within each angular relationship between the planets.

Got that?

Don't worry about it.  Here's all you gotta know.

Just look at the chart, up is good, down is bad.

 

 

 

It catches the "The Panic of 1873", which began "The Long Depression" which according to the National Bureau of Economic Research lasted until March 1979, a total of 65 months and longer by nearly a year and a half than "The Great Depression"

Take note of the extremely low, low point that so nicely corresponds with the "Crash of 29" stock market descent that extended from 9/3/29 until about 7/32, and the mostly continuous lows during "The Great Depression".

It catches "The Panic of 1910", the "Black Monday" crash of October 19, 1987.

And, how bout that big fat high point sitting over the middle to late 1990's.

Now, let's consider the summer of 2010.

Whoa!!!

DANGER WILL ROBINSON, DANGER!!!

(The above was a time continuum joke)

Your Uncle Roany is in Cash (Mostly Canadian) and Gold!!!

I'm just sayin.
