He includes the basic definitions and explanations fo the planetary movements. Included in the topics covered are explanations of the Zodiac and its relationship to the signs and houses, eclipses, equinoxes and solstices as well as Lunar phenomena.

Trading with Astrology, April 21, 2002

This book give a good introduction to astrological aspects for the uninformed and then describes which ones are key to turning points in financial markets. Pesavento relates astrological relationships of planets to Fibonaccio ratios which are well respected by traders in financial markets. I suggest you buy this book versus his other titles, Planetary Harmonics and Harmomic Vibrations. They have duplicate coverage of many concepts mentioned here and do not add appreciably to the material covered in this book.

A VERY PICTORIAL DISPLAY OF ASTRO-CYCLES IN THE MARKET, June 4, 2001

This book is somewhat similar to "Planetary Harmonics of Speculative Markets" also by Larry Pesavento. However, this book seems to present much more short-term cycles that are more useful for giving timing signals to enter or exit trades. It gives a coverage of a wide range of commodities so one can see how a particular aspect can work on a wide range of futures markets. Also there are certain specific aspects that only work with a certain market and these have been illustrated with the wheat market section. One thing you need to be a bit careful about is that some of these arrows are about an inch or so from the price bar and a quick glimpse could nake you feel that all the turning points are accurately identified when in fact a few might be a litt 'out'. However, all in all, its a nice book.
