I'm going to say something that will make all of you Astrology bluffs not
believe it any longer.   ABRA-CA-DABRA!   Ah rats if failed again:-)

Seriously, after looking at these charts for years they finally begin to
make sense all of their own accord. I don't buy astrology because it's
generally the large traders that dictate direction not the masses. Which
means that the tide only pulls on the large traders not the small traders
which are generally the losers. Think about it.
