Mercury, Money and the Markets

“Mercury, Money and the Markets” is Tim Bost’s signature work on the powerful connection between Mercury’s planetary cycles and short-term trading. Drawing on over 40 years of astrological study and more than two decades of financial market research, Bost delivers one of the most advanced, data-driven explorations ever written on how Mercury—its stations, retrogrades, aspects, and first-trade placements—drives market behavior.

This book goes far beyond traditional astro-trading narratives. Using extensive back-testing, Bost demonstrates how Mercury influences major world indices, precious metals, currencies, blue-chip stocks, and intraday volatility. The material is grounded in real research, including historical review of market crises, Federal Reserve events, monetary legislation, free-coinage cycles, and financial system turning points.

Bost also integrates deep esoteric tradition. From the Emerald Tablet and Hermetic symbolism to the psychological dimension of Mercury as “messenger,” he explains why this planet governs communication, decision-making, money flow, and trader behavior. The result is a technical and spiritual framework that gives traders an analytical edge and a practical roadmap for timing market opportunities.

Whether examining Mercury retrograde effects, constructing Mercury–First-Trade models, or analyzing 201 years of Mercury station data, the book provides high-precision timing tools used by professional astro-traders worldwide. Advanced, comprehensive, and research-driven—this is a landmark resource for anyone serious about planetary trading.
