"I began to study astrology in 1972. The Foundation for the Study of Cycles listed several stock market cycles such as 9.3 and 18.6 years. I noted that the Lunar Node has a half-period and a full period of those lengths. It appeared that planetary cycles were linked to price cycles. After two years, I began to apply the planets to prices. All of the previous books and studies that I had accumulated suffered from several drawbacks. The first was that the analyses were based upon a limited number of years, either due to lack of data or lack of computing power. In addition, many of the studies omitted the Lunar Node or treated the effect of the 90-degree square the same as the effect of the 270-degree square, as Bradley did.
I began by casting horoscopes of incorporation in my position as a junior securities analyst in New York City. Charles Jayne had done some work with such charts, and found some correlation to share price movements. The dates and times were obtained from the state of Delaware, which does require an exact time of incorporation for each company. We analysts were rated by the accuracy of our earnings projections."
