Trading Eclipses

Part Partii al Solar Sol ar Ecl Eclii pse on January Janu ary 4, 201 2011 The solar eclipse of January 4, 2011 was a partial eclipse of the Sun that was visible after sunrise over most of Europe and north western Asia. It ended at sunset over eastern Asia. It was visible as a minor partial eclipse over northern Africa and the Arabian peninsula. A solar eclipse occurs when the Moon passes between Earth and the Sun, thereby totally or partially obscuring the image of the Sun for a viewer on Earth. A partial solar eclipse occurs in the polar regions of the Earth when the center of the Moon's shadow misses the Earth.

Fig. 1.1 Partial Solar Eclipse This was the first of four partial solar eclipses in 2011, with the others occuring on June 1, 2011, July 1, 2011, and November 25, 2011. It also followed the two total lunar eclipses occuring on June 15, 2011 and December 10, 2011.

Where will the Eclipse Visible? This image shows the partial solar eclipse’s path on January 4, 2011. The different shades of red depict the eclipse's visibility, with the strongest and innermost shade depicting 75 percent visibility, followed by 50 percent visibility, 25 percent visibility, and down to as low as zero percent visibility.

Lunar Returns to the Solar Eclipse The impact of the January eclipse is not limited solely to the date that it takes place. From an astrological perspective, the eclipse event creates a powerful resonant field that continues to provide noteworthy opportunities for the eclipse energy to be activated well into the future—at least until the time of the next solar eclipse, which in this case comes on June 02, 2011. This resonant field operates through the zodiacal point at which the eclipse occurs and also through the antiscia (also known as the solstice point) of the eclipse. With the January 04 solar eclipse coming at 13°38' Capricorn, the eclipse antiscia falls at 16°21' Sagittarius. One of the ways that we can best see the resonant field at work is by tracking the series of Lunar Returns to the January 15, 2010 solar eclipse (previous eclipse). Each Lunar Return is set for the exact time that the Moon returns to the position it held at the time of the solar eclipse. (See Fig 1.3) Each Lunar Return relates to the solar eclipse as a resonating factor, but it can also be considered by itself as a separate and significant moment in time. It thus provides us with a sensitive date to watch for eclipse impacts both in and out the markets.



Solar Eclipse Jan 15, 2010 The January 15 solar eclipse was at 25°01' Capricorn, the eclipse antiscia falls at 04°58' Sagittarius. (see Fig. 1.4)

Pressure/Reversal/Change of Trend Dates in 2011 Whenever any planet in transit hits the eclipse position or equinoctial mirror point or antiscia, a change in market behaviour is witnessed. These are the most sensitive areas of any market which can turn the market. It is not necessary that every pressure point is capable to make change in trend because some other strong transit can overshadow the effect of the pressure point. Generally market turn on the pressure points, if not, then previous trend may be continued till next transit. Trading can be done according to high / low made on pressure dates e.g. if market made a new low and closed around that low and next day the high of previous day has not broken then short poisitions can be taken and vice versa. For example : On 7-April-10 Nifty made a high of 5398, that date was key reversal date according to solar eclipse of Jan 15, 2010. Next day on Apr 8 high not breached. Hence Short position in Nifty can be taken accroding to trading plan as discussed above. Nifty made a low of 5,128.15 on on 4-May-2010 (Next key date) Total points earned : Range basis = (5,398 – 5,128.15) = 269.85 points. Closing basis = (5,378.95 – 5,141.85) = 237.10 points.

Conclusion : Trading based on Solar Eclipse is not a short cut method of making money. Trading plan should be made according to key reversal dates or sensitive dates. Use of Technical tools with the abovementioned method can be fruitful for making consistent profits in any markets. I conclude with the a famous rule of “Warren Buffett” Buffett” : Rule No. 1 : Never lose money. Rule No. 2 : Never forget Rule No. 1.

Warm Regards,
