Astrology of the Stock Market

Beginners Guide

Intro
Hello and welcome to the beginners guide of our community. In this section I will try to explain everything in a simple, almost childlike manner. I hope it is extremely clear. If it is not, then hit me with a question, and I will get back to you. Please refer to the relevant paragraph, and feel free to point out any confusion. I will start with, angles or aspects as we astrologers call them; then move on to the importance of their chronological order; then gaps; then the practical meanings as far markets are concerned; then two paragraphs on the structure of the reports; then finally, the relevance of your personal astrology to all this.

But before all that......
Please allow me to make this clear. Astrology is a vast field, with absolutely endless applications. What I am doing here is something I have developed, tried and tested. A lot of people do very similar things, and they do a much better job of it than me. So please do not think that I am taking any credit for this. I am not. A little while back, I stumbled across a book, and then later I got hold of various bits and pieces here and there. I am not an astrologer in the conventional sense. So if you are an astrologer, please excuse me for putting things in this way. All I know is that it works, and that I have to share it with everybody.

Angles or Aspects of Planets
Astrologers look at the position of the Planets as they orbit the Sun in our Solar System. They measure the exact positions the planets are. Now, please note that astronomers look at all this quite differently, and I will not go on a red herring here. Let's start. If you know where two planets are at any given moment, you can measure the angle between them. You could say that at 11:11am GMT on the 11 of November 1111 AD, 11 of the planets in our solar system made these certain angles to each other. We could write them all down, and then measure all the angles again a minute later. The angles will be different. Great! Big deal you say! So what? Well this is where astrology takes over. Astrologers look at a certain set of angles or aspects. Some look at 30 60 120 degrees. Some look at 45 90 150 degrees. The combinations are endless. Citystats looks at a certain set described below. We look at the exact time when just these angles or aspects take place. These are tabulated, and their patterns are studied in what we call aspectarians.

The Chronological Order of Aspects
Imagine that at 11:00pm Mars was 60 degrees to Saturn, and that Mercury at 11:01pm made the same 60 degress to Neptune. Let's then say that Venus made 30 degrees to Jupiter at 11:02pm. You can see that three aspects were made in a matter of three minutes. These were three different aspects made by three different Planets. Now this bit is important. Because we have measured all the planets' (please note that I have put the apostrophe after the "s") aspects, we know that no other planets made any other exact aspects from 11pm to 11:03pm. Let's explain this basic, yet very important phenomenon more clearly. It does not matter which planet it is, it did not form any exact aspect from 11:00pm to 11:03. If there was an aspect made then it has to be included in the order of aspects with the three just mentioned.

Types of Planets and other stellar entities

Thanks to a recent question, I have come to realise a couple of areas that need clarification. Please note that I do not use the "normal" 10 planets, but also use certain Asteroids, and other stellar entities known as "Uranians".

Types of Aspects
There are times when the angles are 0, 30, 36, 60, 72, 108, 120, 144, 154' 17", and 160 degrees. We call these 10 aspects soft. There another batch of 10 and they are called hard. They are 32' 43", 40, 45, 51' 26", 80, 90, 102' 51", 135, 150, 180. There are also inclinations and disinclinations which are the angles of bodies above and below the ecliptic. If you look at it in terms of slicing the circle by 1 or 2 or 3 all the way to 12 you will get what astrologers call harmonics. You can in theory go all the way to 29, but it is not necessary.

Exact Aspects
Many Astrologers do not look at "exact" aspects. They look at "approaching", or "separating" aspects. I don't, I look at the exact aspects. It can be a bit confusing to go into that detail now.

No aspects and gaps
Because we are being selective about the angles or aspects we want, there are periods when there are no exact aspects around. By the way that is why normal (if there is such a thing) astrology use applying and separating aspects. So there are times or situations when we have aspects, and there are situations or times when we do not have any aspects. These I call gaps. Believe it or not they are very important.

Practical meaning of aspects and gaps
What I do which helps me to predict the markets, is to find moments when there are a large number of either hard, soft, or gaps around. If I see moments when we have loads of hard aspects, I say that the market will find it easier to go down. If I see loads of soft aspects, I say that the market will find it easier to go up. If there is a gap after a bunch of hard aspects, the market goes up. If there is a gap after a bunch soft aspects the market goes down. If I see moments that there are little aspects I assume that the effect will be less. More on this once you subscribe via the main website at www.citystats.co.uk.
