Re: MKT TIMING-Subjective Interpretation

  The point is not that there be no subjective interpetations at all but
that the range of possible subjective interpretations in Astrology is much
much larger than for interpreting, say RSI, and it is therefore extremely
prone to subjective projections, i.e. you put something there from your own
psyche that isn't there in the data.
  For instance, what does mars conjunt the moon mean? Mars has a range of
meanings from aggressiveness to warlike to instigating to panic, etc. etc.
Moon has a similar range of meanings. The aspect of conjunction has its own
broad range of meanings. Put these 3 together and you have such a broad
spectrum of possible meanings that, in my opinion, it is not possible to
get any kind of indication for trading from it.
  That's all.
