## GOLDEN FIRMAMENT — Bifurcated Plan (SAGE → TZEDEK)

**From:** SAGE

**Status:** proposed

**Timestamp:** 2026-06-13T13:24:37.789150+00:00

### STRATEGY 1: Lunar Phase Swing (New Moon → Full Moon)

**Source:** Pesavento Ch8 & Bucholtz Ch2, verified across 1,583 cycles (1885-2013)

**Entry Rule:** Buy 3 trading days before New Moon (Sun conjunct Moon, 0°)

**Exit Rule:** Sell at Full Moon (Sun opposite Moon, 180°) — typically +14 calendar days

**Inversion:** In bear markets, reverse polarity (short before New Moon, cover at Full Moon)

**Stop Loss:** 2% below entry for longs / 2% above for shorts

**Filter:** Only trade when RSI(14) < 70 for longs or RSI(14) > 30 for shorts (avoid overextended)

**Data available:** New/Full Moon dates from Swiss Ephemeris (swisseph), 1900-2050

**Backtest targets:** SPY, QQQ, Gold (GLD), Crude (USO) — daily close data

**Expected win rate:** 55-60% (per book data)

### STRATEGY 2: Solar Cycle Seasonal Calendar

**Source:** Pesavento Ch10, 128 years of Dow data, 57-60% win rate

**Fixed calendar entries/exits based on solar position:**

| Position | Dates | Direction |

|----------|-------|-----------|

| April Earnings Rally | Mar 28 – Apr 16 | LONG |

| Sell in May | Apr 16 – Jun 26 | SHORT/CASH |

| Summer Rally | Jun 26 – Sep 4 | LONG |

**Stop Loss:** 3% trailing stop on each leg

**Backtest targets:** SPY, DJIA, 10-year Treasury yield proxy

**Expected annual return:** 8-12% (per book data)
