The book is ideal for someone who want to begin to understand what Astro Trading is all about. Larry's presentations are simple to understand. I found the references made and most charts shown to the period between 1985-1988. This may sound a bit outdated but the examples do help to understand when certain planets form certain patterns and the outcome of these pattern formations.
The paper quality and the the quality of the charts need improvement. I also found that certain arrows pointing to certain points in the chart to be slightly off the exact mark. To me this was frustrating because I wasnt sure whether there was a print error or was the error made by the author or maybe I was the one who couldn't see the examples presented clearly. The book needs to have a revised edition with the charts redone
clearly which many software programs are able to do these days.
All said, this is a good book. One which explains astro-trading in a simple format.

This book give a good introduction to astrological aspects for the uninformed and then describes which ones are key to turning points in financial markets. Pesavento relates astrological relationships of planets to Fibonaccio ratios which are well respected by traders in financial markets. I suggest you buy this book versus his other titles, Planetary Harmonics and Harmomic Vibrations. They have duplicate coverage of many concepts mentioned here and do not add appreciably to the material covered in this book.

Mr. Pesavento has taken great time to explain the correlation between planetary movement and the markets, something I always thought about, but never studied. I use his book in conjunction with my trading system, and have dramatically improved my trading results.

ASTRO-CYCLES IS AN INVALUABLE REFERENCE TEXTBOOK.PAGE 148 DESCRIBES THE 1-3-5 ENTRY TECHNIQUE USING THE GARTLEY "222" TRADING ENTRY METHOD. THIS INFORMATION ALONE IS WORTH MORE THAN THE PURCHASE PRICE OF THIS BOOK.

Although a bit outdated (especially s far as examples and tables are concerned) this book is still a good starting point for those who wants to begin with their research in astro economics and astro trading: for example, if you have never read an Ephemeris table before then section two of the book will explain you how to do it. One important point: this book makes reference to moving planets "aspects" and their correlation with turning points in the market: it has little to do with financial astrology , here you will not find corporations' horoscopes, first trade dates or stuff like that. Another observation: this books is very simple to understand: the author writes about astronomical cycles without mentioning equations, signals theory and celestial mechanics concepts, great for beginners, maybe this a limit for those more into this subject.

While interesting, it is difficult to prove the validity of the authors approach. I would recommend sticking to more traditional means of stock market analysis, i.e. Fundamentals or technicals or a combination of both.

Wow. The planets determine stock and futures prices. What a nut bag. The beauty of this approach is that it can never be disproved. It's like me saying that there are chocolate cakes orbiting Jupiter. Now it's up to you to prove that I am wrong. If you believe in astrology then make sure you take a flying leap into bed every night because there is a monster ready to grab you toes hiding under your bed. Start by reading The New Market Wizards and The Ultimate Trading Guide - both great books. PS. The tooth fairy is dead and so isn't using astrology to predict anything.
