Lunar & Seasonal Timing

astro-temporal entry strategy
Lunar & seasonal timing is a market timing strategy based on recurring moon phases and seasonal energy shifts. Traders use these natural cycles—such as full moons, new moons, solstices, equinoxes, and seasonal financial patterns—to predict volatility windows, emotional inflection points, or liquidity rotations. This timing framework integrates ancient astronomical awareness with modern market cycles to identify energetic gateways for optimal entries, exits, or position scaling.
Use Case: A trader tracks lunar phases alongside Q2 and Q4 seasonal trends. They consistently take profit ahead of full moons and re-enter during new moon lows in September and March, aligning positions with natural sentiment cycles.
Key Concepts:
- Full Moon Volatility — Often marks emotional market highs or shakeouts
- New Moon Accumulation — Tends to correspond with quiet entries or trend beginnings
- Seasonal Rotation — Predictable flow of capital around tax season, holidays, or Q cycles
- Solstice/Equinox Pivots — Transitional energy periods often align with macro turns
- Lunar Shock Zones — Astro-temporal volatility clusters around key lunar events
- Gateway Timing — Strategic windows for capital deployment
- Volatility Compression Release — Energy discharge following compression periods
- Cycle Awareness — Understanding market phases to time allocations
Summary: Lunar & seasonal timing brings rhythm and foresight to market participation. It merges cosmic and temporal awareness to offer strategic positioning before markets react, tapping into cyclical human and economic behavior.

Lunar & Seasonal Timing Checklist
aligning entries with natural cycles
☐ Track new moon dates (accumulate)
☐ Mark full moon dates (take profits)
☐ Note eclipse windows (major pivots)
☐ Combine with technical analysis
☐ Monitor sentiment at lunar peaks
☐ Reduce LP exposure at full moons
☐ Q1: Deploy after tax-loss selling
☐ Q2: Lighten positions before May
☐ Q3: Accumulate during summer lull
☐ Q4: Ride expansion, exit at peaks
☐ Mark solstice/equinox dates
☐ Track historical Q patterns
☐ Align lunar + seasonal + technical
☐ Use new moon + Q4 = strong entry
☐ Full moon + Q2 = strong exit
☐ Eclipse + equinox = major pivot
☐ Layer with dominance analysis
☐ Combine with sentiment data
