Astro & Cycle Timing

The timing edge behind this system — documented numbers, the peer-reviewed source, and the discipline that keeps it honest

See it live: Reversal Radar computes the current cycle windows and vibrational dates from these methods.

This system never uses astrology as a standalone signal. Timing methods are layered in a strict hierarchy, and they answer WHEN, never WHICH DIRECTION on their own.

Primary — Merriman Cycles

Nested time cycles (yearly → primary → trading cycles). A cycle low is a time WINDOW where a bottom is statistically likely. Merriman defines a reversal as a move ≥ 4%.

Secondary — AstroCycles / Gema

Lunar phases, planetary aspects, ingresses, retrogrades — used as reversal-date candidates inside the Merriman windows.

Tertiary — BaZi

Chinese metaphysics year/month pillars as broad regime context. Weakest layer, never decisive. Correlations are computed on ENTRY time, not runtime.

Core doctrine: A reversal date is an OPPORTUNITY to enter or flip into the new direction — not a reason to panic-exit a winner. Astro layers ONTO a technical setup as an entry-timing filter; the setup itself (structure, level, trigger) must exist first.
