First of all, this is a much better way of doing it
But it is a little confusing
Does a "square" have an orb?
Or is it the interaction between 2 planets, that comes into more intensity and focus at a certain point?
Traditional approach is the latter
Therefore "orb" is defined by the planets involved, not the aspect
But the tricky part is, there does seem to be some confusion in the literature on this
So I will provide a few sources, and my take
What planets should have widest reach?
Sun & Moon
Then?
Saturn & Jupiter
Then?
Mars, Venus, Mercury
OK all makes sense
Sun 15'
Moon 12'
Saturn & Jupiter 9'
Mars 8'
Venus & Mercury 7'
But is this the total, or influence either side? That is really the key question.
Some sources seem to indicate that amount *either side*
But the way I was taught, plus market data, indicates this is the total, and the actual orb either side is:
Sun 7.5'
Moon 6'
Saturn & Jupiter 4.5'
Mars 4'
Venus & Mercury 3.5'
This is the way I do it
And to give a very relevant example
Mars sqr Saturn
Saturn reach is 4.5, so this will touch Mars, before Mars touches Saturn
Saturn started to "touch" Mars, meaning Saturn square Mars within 4.5', as of 11/4
But Mars influence to Saturn is 4', and this happens 11/6
Anyway, markets provided an excellent confirmation of this theory with safe-haven strength despite stock index incredibly strong rally, because
VIX low 11/4
TLT low 11/4
GLD low 11/3
all impressive gains considering indexes
~end~
ps it is just totally crazy and amazing that astro theories from 1200-1900 years ago are actually amazingly accurate in pegging market action in these safe haven trades *this past week*

Image for indexes & cryptos
Weaker assets tend to get hit sooner and harder
Worst is into 10-Nov area, with some other low 12-Nov
Obv indexes have been flying and ETH still powering up
SPX in massive bull from covid low but weekly band overshoot of this size is rare
Combine with sentiment and longer term pivot resistance, astro this week not so nice
Some pause due, hence the STOP sign
But actually I'm thinking higher highs later in Nov or early Dec
I rec'd to watch safe havens last week (along with FXI short) because of a few things, and interesting to see VIX TLT GLD all making a move with stocks so strong
Think these will continue into coming week 10-Nov area
Remember nearly everything I am about to quote was written last Sunday 10/31 either in the Google Sheet (link now in bio) or in the tweet summary.
Indexes: "Expecting up for trading top 11/3-5; following week down pressure"
Up into 11/5!
☑️☑️☑️
But for scoring giving myself a 4 (scale 1-5) since I called a top call yesterday. This was like an own goal. If I thought about the EE#, and data collection period, beat likely.
Cryptos: "Still prefer rally into 11/3-5 trading top."
Pretty good! Also some cryptos topped on the early side compared to indexes, per this follow up tweet.
As usual this week's summary had basic road map for
Cryptos
Indexes
Also mentioned commodities this time, don't always
And safe havens VIX TLT DXY GLD I combine but don't expect them all to move together
Still think early new month, bulls in charge, better astro
11/1-3 at least, possibly through 11/5 means more push up on indexes and & prefer cryptos back to highs
Yes, even if taper announced - an expectation thing, because 120B per month adjusted to 105B or whatever...
Is still going UP!
But whatever highs form 11/3-5 looks like decent trading top, because following week more challenged
Also to be clear, don't think 11/3-5 is major top, should get another push up later Nov or early Dec & that probably more important
