The Bull, The Bear and The Planets: Trading the Financial Markets Using Astrology

“The Bull, the Bear and the Planets” by M. G. Bucholtz is a groundbreaking work that brings together astrology and financial market analysis to reveal cyclical forces often overlooked by traditional traders. This book explores how planetary cycles and celestial alignments can help identify major turning points in stock markets, commodities, and macroeconomic trends.

Far from speculative guesswork, Bucholtz blends rigorous backtesting, historical case studies, and planetary timing models to uncover patterns of market movement that align with astrological cycles. Drawing on decades of research, he builds predictive models rooted in planetary harmonics and gravitational theory — bridging finance, astronomy, and cyclical theory.

This book is both a comprehensive primer on financial astrology and a tactical manual for traders and investors looking to gain a unique edge. Whether you believe in astro-trading or are simply curious, Bucholtz presents his findings in a logical, evidence-based format, making the case that the market may, in fact, be written in the stars.
