I do not subscribe to the Lunar aspect, although many do. Well, there is a mis-statement already. Of the people who try to analyze using Delta, most use the Lunar Aspect.....I would suppose. The essence of the theory is based on the Lunar Month. I know how it works but I don't follow it that way. Now what Wilder and Sloman decided was that there were 10 points in a cycle.....possibly as many as 12. Those two extra points were called possible "Inversion" Points. I hate that stuff...Suddenly it does not work and Guess what???? We had an Inversion Point!!! Yeah, yeah, sure sure.. Well I dropped the theory during the 1980s because I could not get around that Inversion stuff. I still can't, but I no longer count on the Wilder-Sloman method as much and when you toss the 10 points plus the Inversion points then it works better. Now, Delta is based on a 4 period cycle. Wilder (I think) coded them Orange(Yellow?), Green, Red, Blue. As a sidebar, it's real interesting to note that most people who know that color cycle stuff do NOT know that it comes from Wilder or Delta. The only guy I know who understands that is a fellow in Palm Beach area, whose name I won't mention because I'm not in the business of selling and whatnot. But it is true, either people know it as Delta and use it by the Book or they use it the way it's been taught in a seminar and have no clue as to the derivation. Be that as it may..... Now the 4 color pattern....to me at least....is interesting. I know Wilder and Sloman and such brought their study down to "Short-Term Delta". But I don't know exactly what they did with it. To me, that's where it separates. I think that what they did, is say that the first day was a 3 point day, the second a 2 point day, the third a 2 point day, the fourth a 3 point day for a total of 10 points plus the possibility of (dare I say it) an Inversion Point on Day 1 and Day 4 for potentially 12 points. Now, I think that's where Wilder stopped and then went on with these other things, like ADAM and whatever it was that Peter mentioned and so on. I know nothing about that, I think Wilder stopped at precisely the point where he could have had daytrading knocked, but he is the guy who has a product for sale......not me.

Oh, the Delta stuff, part 2 Re-read your post...by the way....I guess you were only asking for a reference and stuff. I don't have any. Um, you were asking about references to Sun/Moon/Earth. Nope, got nothing on that. I understand....somewhat...where the reference came from but I don't subscribe to that...... Side Note? Most Tech Analysis is whacky stuff anyway, so if there is a Comet affecting the damn market it's just as appealing to me as freaking Head and Shoulder's top or the Math of a Dead Guy from Italy, let me telya....or how about the math involved in a seashell? Golden Mean, or whatever it is. Anyway, I cannot direct you to anything on the Delta stuff.....sorry. The only reason I know it pretty well is because I picked up on it in the early 1980s and I never let it go....there was just something about it that seemed to hold some promise. It took me roughly 15 years to get comfortable with it. I do not suggest that ANYONE does that. So, don't spend the 175 bucks.
