A Waning Moon, A Rising Portfolio: Navigating Volatility with Clarity and Conviction

From Shadows to Signals: The Astrology of Strategic Return

As markets open under the shadow of a balsamic Moon in Libra, freshly separated from dignified but subdued Venus, we enter a phase marked by emotional unwinding, strategic repositioning, and the quiet onset of a new cycle. The Moon’s entry into the Via Combusta—an astrologically charged zone long associated with volatility and purification—mirrors the deeper transition unfolding in market sentiment. Beneath the surface of last week’s rebound lies a recalibration already in motion: a quiet shift from speculation to substance, from optimism to discernment.

This atmospheric backdrop frames the latest reading of the Lunar Landing Portfolio, a carefully curated collection of 15 high-conviction equities aligned with long-term growth themes and structural resilience. Designed to thrive through uncertainty, this basket reflects a strategy grounded not in headlines or hype, but in consistent signals—technical strength, macro alignment, and disciplined diversification.

Between January 2016 and September 2025, the portfolio soared to a cumulative return of 1,039.7%, compounding at 28.35% annually and turning a $10,000 investment into nearly $114,000. Even as equity indices fluctuated and sentiment see-sawed, the portfolio maintained a striking 72% monthly win rate. It thrived in 2024’s breakout rally and endured 2018’s pullback with composure. The portfolio’s performance is not just a story of return—it’s a study in how conviction-based positioning can outperform through narrative transitions, much like the one markets are now undergoing beneath this waning Moon.

As we approach a combust New Moon—a reset, but not yet a revelation—this portfolio stands as a signal of what can be achieved when strategy outpaces sentiment. In a market environment defined by hidden realignments and thematic ambiguity, clarity of design remains a competitive advantage.
