Hello Q, and welcome back from your hiatus!
An interesting question you pose, and one that as you say, there is no clear direction on within the Law of One. It would seem to me that there are a series of questions you pose:
1. Is the work of the adept applicable to more mundane, 3D, activities(as opposed to only spiritually related activities)?
2. If so, then is work such as the negotiation and/or execution of a contract or legal agreement perhaps an event that may lend itself to magical influence?
3. If so, then are these types of activities governed or influenced by the adept's cycle?
4. If so, then when would be the most opportune time within the cycle for one to perform the aforementioned activities?
Assuming that the above questions are an accurate dissection of your query, please let me start by saying that the crux of your question is dependent upon a significant number of prerequisites. Even so, let us dive in:
It would seem that the answer to this question is "yes". I feel that there are several reasons that this is true, and will offer one quote for now, which brings with it a note of caution. Recall that Card number VI in the Major Arcana, the Transformation of the Mind, deals with the use of the use of conscious and unconscious to affect change in the life of the individual:
The point being, that using the mind to help accomplish goals is well, good and natural, but is best undertaken, at least for those biased toward STO, as a long courtship leading to a committed relationship with the result.
For this I have no quote, but would profess my intuitive belief that this is so.
Here, I am reminded of this exchange with Ra regarding the cycles in general.
This is to say, that the more balanced individual is less affected by the cycles. So, to the extent that one is doing ones balancing exercises fully and appropriately, it would seem that the position within the cycle when one seeks to perform magic, becomes much less important.
Here then, we get to the crux of your question. First, I would point out that, having been involved in a number of contracts and negotiations - as, I know you have too, my friend - the "magic" is in the negotiation, not so much the execution. Next, it would seem to me that the most opportune time for accomplishing this magic would be during days 4-6 of the cycle. Based upon Ra's description, I would avoid attempting this "magic" during days 9-1 of the cycle (that is to say the first nadir at day 9-10, and then all through the negative phase and the second nadir at day 18-1). This may be difficult to pull off, but again, in my experience, such activities generally do ebb and flow in a similar fashion. In a perfect world, I would attempt to execute the agreement on a day that included as many simultaneous biorythmic "highs" as possible (as well as any other astrological charts you may deem significant), but pragmatically, would probably bow to consummating the agreement on a date and time that was both convenient to all parties and "felt right". I for one, tend to put far more weight into my intuitive powers than my astrological alignments.
If nothing else, this should provide us great fodder for further discussion.
Love and Light, my friend, and Godspeed in your endeavors.

Law of One, Book, IV, Session 99 Wrote:Many use the trunk and roots of mind as if that portion of mind were a badly used, prostituted entity. Then this entity gains from this great storehouse that which is rough, prostituted, and without great virtue. Those who turn to the deep mind, seeing it in the guise of the maiden, go forth to court it. The courtship has nothing of plunder in its semblance and may be protracted, yet the treasure gained by such careful courtship is great. The right-hand and left-hand transformations of the mind may be seen to differ by the attitude of the conscious mind towards its own resources as well as the resources of other-selves.
The point being, that using the mind to help accomplish goals is well, good and natural, but is best undertaken, at least for those biased toward STO, as a long courtship leading to a committed relationship with the result.

Here, I am reminded of this exchange with Ra regarding the cycles in general.
Law of One, Book III, Session 64 Wrote:Questioner: Am I correct in assuming that whatever magic the adept would perform at this time would be more successful or, shall we say, more to his design than that performed at less opportune times in the cycle?
Ra: I am Ra. This cycle is an helpful tool to the adept but as we said, as the adept becomes more balanced the workings designed will be dependent less and less upon these cycles of opportunity and more and more even in their efficacy.
Questioner: I have no ability to judge at what point the level of abilities of the adept would be reached to be independent of this cyclical action. Can you give me an indication of what level of “adeptness” that would be necessary in order to be so independent?
Ra: I am Ra. We are fettered from speaking specifically due to this group’s work, for to speak would seem to be to judge. However, we may say that you may consider this cycle in the same light as the so-called astrological balances within your group; that is, they are interesting but not critical.
This is to say, that the more balanced individual is less affected by the cycles. So, to the extent that one is doing ones balancing exercises fully and appropriately, it would seem that the position within the cycle when one seeks to perform magic, becomes much less important.
Quote:4. If so, then when would be the most opportune time within the cycle for one to perform the aforementioned activities?
