Planetary And Lunar Timing
Plot planetary longitudes, lunar phases, nodes, selected minor bodies, aspects, retrograde motion, and zodiac boundaries against the same market timeline for repeatable planetary cycle analysis.

What Is Financial Astrology?
Financial astrology studies whether astronomical cycles and symbolic astrological frameworks coincide with recurring behavior in financial markets. It is an exploratory research method—not established evidence that planets cause price changes and not a substitute for risk controls.

Direct Answer
Calculated Positions, Interpretive Research
The astronomical layer supplies time-dependent positions, phases, and angular relationships. The financial-astrology layer decides which of those observations to compare with market data. Those layers should remain explicit: an ephemeris calculation can be checked as astronomy, while a market interpretation remains a hypothesis that requires its own testing.
TimeMatrix
Financial Astrology Software For Market Research
TimeMatrix is browser-based financial astrology software—sometimes described as astrofinance software—for structured planetary-cycle analysis alongside financial charts. It lets researchers compare planetary aspects and financial markets without presenting an astronomical coincidence as proof of causation or a trading signal.
Observer And Zodiac Frames
Keep Earth-centered versus Sun-centered measurement separate from Tropical versus Sidereal labeling so a comparison can be repeated.
Price And Time Geometry
Compare astronomical cycles with Square of 9, Hexagon, price translation, Gann-style angles, and ordinary technical structure.
Method
A Responsible Research Workflow
- Choose the astronomical frame. Set the observer frame, zodiac frame, timezone, and location before comparing dates. Geocentric and heliocentric positions answer different questions; Tropical and Sidereal label longitude differently.
- Define one testable cycle. Select the bodies, aspect or phase, market, timeframe, and date range before inspecting the result. A rule chosen after seeing the chart is much easier to overfit.
- Compare with market structure. Treat an astronomical date as context, then evaluate trend, support and resistance, volatility, volume, and price confirmation independently.
- Record misses as well as hits. A useful review includes every occurrence in the chosen sample, not only memorable reversals. Separate exploratory observations from rules tested on unseen data.
Limitations
What A Coincidence Does Not Prove
A chart can make patterns easy to see after the fact. That does not establish causation, predictive power, or future profitability. Results can change when the market, timeframe, timezone, data source, body set, aspect tolerance, or test window changes. Transaction costs, liquidity, execution, and risk limits remain separate from any timing hypothesis.

Separate Astronomy From Interpretation
For an example of a scientific ephemeris system and its observer-frame definitions, see the NASA/JPL Horizons documentation. For general investor guidance, see Investor.gov's five questions to ask before investing, which cover research and understanding risk. TimeMatrix documentation describes the platform's research controls; it does not claim that symbolic interpretations are scientific forecasts.
