A COMPENDIUM OF ASTRO-ECONOMIC
INFLUENCES PRACTICALLY APPLIED!
TO 110 YEAR ANALYSIS OF THE DOW JONES INDUSTRIAL AVERAGES
BY RICHARD SCOTT
Richard Scott spent 8 years doing this research, by hand, watching the markets day after day, studying each change,
and then tracking down every influence and lead that he could find which would demonstrate to him the cause behind
market movements. He compiled 110 years of Dow Jones Industrial Average data, and, with his ephemeris in hand,
tracked down every instance of every influence. This course presents the results of that labor, summarized,
simplified, and clearly explained so that any trader can begin tracking and trading planetary influences in the markets
in a matter of weeks rather than years.
It further teaches how to determine the ongoing energetic background environment that the market is traveling
through at all times. This environment is defined by the summation of the underlying planetary energies at any time.
Any projection you have from any system can now be cross-checked with the Planetary Energy Background, and you
can affirm whether a turn will likely be a top or a bottom, or a trend will go up or down. This is very simple to
understand and to apply to your future charts, giving you an ongoing read on the energetic forces behind the market!
VOLUME 1 TEXT 240P. - VOLUME 2 CHARTS 90P. 170 IMAGES - BLACK SUEDE HARDCOVERS
ONE OF THE MOST POWERFUL & ACCURATE ASTRO-TIME PROJECTION TOOLS EVER DEVELOPED!
The Time Projection Technique presented in this course develops a new type of planetary time projection,
through the projecting of pairs or groups of planetary relationships into the future. The result of these
combinations is the projection of highly accurate future turning points with a false signal ratio of only 2
out of 10, or better. The time projections are highly accurate, generally occurring within a day of the actual
signal, even from points 30 years in the past. Specics of the projections can dene major turns, vs.
intermediate turns, vs. minor turns, and some combinations give very accurate projections of polarity,
whether a turn will be a bottom or a top. Using overlapping projections of multiple planetary
congurations serve as conrmations of important turning points, ltering out errors to less than even one
false signal in ten. The course also presents a detailed introduction to astrology, two different systems to
project price, and a means to mathematically determine the SPEED of the market. There are numerous
trading examples given for long, intermediate and intraday trading. See our website for more details!
