The eight phases of the Moon are as follows: 1) 0 to 45 degrees (new), 2) 45 to 90 degrees (crescent), 3) 90 to 135 degrees (1st quarter), 4) 135 to 180 degrees (gibbous), 5) 180 to 225 degrees (full), 6) 225 to 270 degrees (disseminating), 7) 270 to 315 degrees (last quarter), and 8) 315 to 0 degrees (balsamic). Here are the phases (in their proper signs) so far this year (based on Greenwich mean time): astrikos.com 01/02 = disseminating in Leo 01/06 = last quarter in Libra 01/09 = balsamic in Sagittarius 01/13 = new in Capricorn 01/17 = crescent in Pisces 01/21 = 1st quarter in Taurus 01/25 = gibbous in Gemini 01/28 = full in Leo 02/01 = disseminating in Virgo 02/04 = last quarter in Scorpio 02/08 = balsamic in Capricorn 02/12 = new in Aquarius 02/16 = crescent in Aries 02/20 = 1st quarter in Gemini 02/24 = gibbous in Cancer 02/27 = full in Virgo 03/02 = disseminating in Libra 03/06 = last quarter in Sagittarius 03/09 = balsamic in Aquarius 03/14 = new in Pisces 03/18 = crescent in Taurus 03/22 = 1st quarter in Cancer 03/25 = gibbous in Leo 03/28 = full in Libra 04/01 = disseminating in Scorpio 04/04 = last quarter in Capricorn 04/08 = balsamic in Pisces 04/12 = new in Aries 04/16 = crescent in Gemini 04/20 = 1st quarter in Leo 04/23 = gibbous in Virgo 04/27 = full in Scorpio 04/30 = disseminating in Sagittarius Segment each of these phase cycles according to trading days. For example, the Moon moved into the gibbous phase on Tuesday, April 23rd. That means this past Tuesday through Friday (04/23-26) constituted one segment. The Moon moved into the full phase on Saturday, April 27th, which means that Monday (04/29) will constitute the next segment. Then, from next Tuesday through Friday constitutes the next segment, etc. Now record the price range of the silver futures contract for each segmented period. When the price of silver (I used the May contract for this study) exceeds the high price of the previous two periods, the market is bullish. When the price of silver declines below the low price of the previous two segmented periods, the market is bearish. That’s all there is to it. Check Thursday’s (04/25) column for a track record of this timing model since the start of this year. :)
