Can you give me a reasonable picture of why human beings in the
Northern hemisphere tend to purchase heavy clothing from September
through April? Why would anyone base clothing decisions upon a
heliocentric, astrological observation?

Would the observation that it is cold at that time be statistically
meaningful?

They are not always ignored. Even some noncorporeal centers are
explored in the concept of the monad.

And what causes the fear/greed factor? This is not the answer, but
the question.

I did too. And pursued it for the same reason. After much rigorous
testing of the type I would apply to any market idea, I have been
converted from the most ardent unbeliever to finding it intuitively
obvious. The key for me was understanding it simply as alternate
measures of time. The solar calendar was merely an arbitrary choice as a
timekeeping system, used only by a portion of the world for a part of
our history. Our bodies follow circadian rhthym, which when tested in
isolated environments such as subterranean caves, appears to follow the
lunar rhthym. Many market technicians swear by Fibonnaci time intervals.
Many planetary time intervals are in Fibonnaci relationships to solar
time. The orbital period of Venus, for example, is in a Golden Mean
relationship to that of the Earth (226 / 365.26 = .618). The nature of
time is complex and has many subtle harmonics. So does the universe, and
so do we.

Had to revisit this question. YOU. You will not likely prove the
world is round by seeking to prove that it is flat. I'm glad to see you
are asking yourself questions. No one can prove anything to you but YOU.
If you find merit in it, would you lose something or gain something?
Why?
Many time related aspects of animal behavior have been "proven" to
be lunar in nature. Do I gain or lose something if I assume that I am
"more" than an animal? Every answer is another question.
Good Trades to You,
Darrin
