I have been asked many times if I believe that astrology effects the bean markets. I personally believe astrology effects all markets and this is done by the collective effect of planetary aspects on traders, which in turn will decide on what their decisions for the day will be. Needless to say all traders have a variety of indicators which they use to make a ﬁnal decision on when to enter / exit a trade.

Relying solely on astrology is very unwise and can be an expensive exercise. I further believe that we are all effected by these planetary alignments, as they come into aspect with our natal planets. I have observed that many times the markets will move to a Rhythm similar to tides being moved by the Moon. These rhythms can be referred to as Cycles. Cycles are all around us, and many people accept them as a normal occurrence, which they are.

Examples of this are the Sun, which rises and sets every day, so does the moon and the planets along with the stars. This set me thinking. If Seasons are also Natural Rhythms then so should what comes out of the ground also be set to a cycle.

Investigating Soybeans from a historical perspective to ﬁnd when they began trading on CBOT, the date of October 5, 1936 seems to be the accepted date by traders. As regards to the time of the ﬁrst trade, it varies between traders from 9:20 to 10:20 am on that day.

There are other dates and times but I found this to be the most commonly used data. You can draw up a natal (birth) chart of this date, setting the chart for Chicago and selecting a time. I have selected 9: 35 am for my research.

WD Gann in his books, emphasizes that Natal charts can give the trader a lot of information. In the selection of time for the natal chart of Soybeans I used his recommended time of 9:35 am.

SEASONS:

WD went further by suggesting Seasonal trading. There are various meanings to this statement, but for this article we are concentrating on the astrological aspects.

The Seasons of the year are based on the Suns entering (ingress) into certain signs four times a year.

Spring begins at the Vernal Equinox in Aries around 21 March each year.
Summer begins with the Sun entering Cancer (Solstice) around 21 June each year.
Fall (Autumn) begins when the Sun enters Libra.
Winter begins when the Sun enters the sign of Capricorn around 21 December.

The dates do vary by a day or two in certain years, but this gives you an idea about the Seasonal Times, marked on calendars as Equinox and Solstice. In the Southern Hemisphere these Seasons will be reversed, with Summer being in December, Fall in March, Winter in June, and Spring in September. Together these four Seasonal Signs are referred to as the Cardinal Cross.

Aries is often displayed at 9 o’clock, and is 30 degrees wide, stretching to 8 o’clock on astrological charts, Cancer at 6 to 5 o’clock, Libra from 3 to 2 o’clock, and Capricorn from Noon to 11 o’clock. All signs are 30 degrees wide.

Obviously all charts will not have the Astrological signs in the above positions. Looking at the enclosed Natal Chart for Soybeans pictured here below in Chart 1 (See Chart 1) we can see that Scorpio occupies the 9 o’clock position. Looking back at previous Highs and Lows and selecting at random

1969 Oct. Low: Cause: Saturn Conjunct Natal Uranus
1973 Mar. 7 High: Cause: Sun Conjunct Natal Saturn

In April 2003, I posted the following chart on the internet, using my methodology to try and predict the movements of the Soybean Market. (See chart 2.
