Summary
Phil explores the symbolism of playing cards as an encoding of natural time cycles (52 cards = 52 weeks, 12 court cards = 12 months, 13 per suit = 13 lunar cycles, 4 suits = 4 seasons, card values sum to 365). He discusses the June 21 winter solstice and explains the temperature lag between solstice and coldest temperatures. He then applies this to markets: the March 21, 2020 equinox marked a bottom in all stock markets globally, consistent with historical “panic year” patterns. Notes that in 2001 he and subscribers made over $1M trading the March and September equinox turns.
