The principle of harmony is cosmic law

Astrology has a long history, as far back as the 23^rd century B.C. Observations of eclipse has been documented on clay tablets. The development of mathematics can b attributed to the pioneering astronomers Priests.  The mathematics developed for astronomy by the Babylonians was established on a sexagesimal system which is still in use today with 60 second and 60minutes for time and for degrees in astronomy.

The observation of the solar and lunar cycles were the beginning of a calendar and the cyclic nature of life, the beginning of the understanding the rhematic nature of life. The insight that astrology gives to the market is for one that the market cannot be reduced to a mathematical formula, although the peril of our age is the attempt at this reduction.

The word cycle is derived from the Greek word “kuklos” meaning circle. The study of planetary cycles can be a benefit of timing in the market. :

 Planets are in orbit around the sun and their position at any time is measured by their (tropical) zodiacal position on the ecliptic (the plane of our solar system). The zodiac is measured in terms of twelve signs, each with 30° (one-twelfth of 360°), and each degree can be precisely divided into 60' (minutes) to give very exact positions within a zodiac sign  at any time. Thus, the position of a planet at any particular time can be calculated . When a planet changes sign (an ingress), from 29°59'; of one sign to 0°00' of the next, there is a marked change of theme and atmosphere in the collective psyche.

Each planet has a different vibrational frequency or sidereal  radiation having a particular distinguishable quality and characteristic, orbital speed, size and axial  rotation and magnetic field,  hence different affects.  Just like a musical tone or pitch has a definite frequency and each colour has a definite electromagnetic frequency. Sidereal radiation is tremendously penetrating and secondly, subject to decisive change in intensity in an irregular wave like patterns. The variations in the intensity of the electromagnetic field surrounding the earth are believed to be due to the geometrical configurations of the planets and the movement of the earth around the sun.

The planetary frequencies converge upon the earth from different angles, and these angles determine the manner in which the frequency combine into harmony or discord . These vibrational frequencies are qualities central to astrology. The term “ harmonics”  is preferable, though no more explicit.  There is nothing scientific in speaking about such influences. Astrologers observe certain planetary harmonies in the planetary cycles and how they coincide with events. Harmonic accord or discord are recognized in astrology by looking at the angular relationship between any two planets these angles are called aspects. Specific geometric angles create harmonious or challenging aspects.. Outside these specific angles, planets are dissonant in their relationship instead of resonance

The characteristic effects of a planetary configuration or angle may vary. These limits are known as orbs of influence and are usually of the following order of magnitude: Conjunction 10, Sextile 6 degree Square 8 degrees Trines 8 degrees and Oppositions 10 degrees. The most significant aspects are conjunctions (0°), where two planets lie in the same location in the zodiac cycle, and oppositions (180°) where they are opposite one another The potency of an aspect rises slowly as the planet enters the orb of influence and accelerates rapidly during its approach  (applying) to exactitude. It then recedes the like manner as the planets move apart. The potency of the aspect at various points within orb may be represented by a symmetrical sine curve, which shows that an aspect which is one third of its distance to exact has only one-forth of its ultimate value. At the half way mark, it reaches half of its potential, and two-thirds of exactitude it exerts three – fourth of its total potential.  Planets resonate strongest when within one degree of orb, but, in the case of conjunctions, squares and oppositions, effects can be detectable when planets are even five degrees out of aspect. Hints as to the atmosphere which can arise during an aspect can begin as soon as the involved planets enter the sign(s) where the aspect is to take place.
Thus each planet has a cycle of relationship with the zodiac signs (called sidereal cycles), and a number of cycles of co-relationship with the other moving planets (synodic cycles). To these there are different periodicities. No planet, nor its vibrational frequency, exists and works in isolation. Planetary energies have a multiplicity of ways of interconnecting, creating  an ever-changing, never exactly repeated period of time..

Jupiter the largest planet makes a complete revolution around the sun in 11.86 years. Saturn requires 29.46 years to complete its revolution. The time required for Jupiter and Saturn to complete 360 degrees in relation to one another is 20 years and is known as their syndical period. The conjunction of Saturn and Jupiter is called a Mutation. It is this Mutation cycle that is important to forecasting the financial cycle as it is the fundamental indicator of the financial markets psychology. Conjunctions of Jupiter and Saturn  have been  constantly observed to stimulate the most powerful influences of any of the planets . Jupiter and Saturn are the largest planets in the solar System , due to their great size and slow motion they exercise the predominating influence for prolonged periods of time and therefore establish an overall standard of disturbed or quiet conditions.

Because of the various speeds planet travel at  there appears from a geocentric position that the planets are moving backwards or in a  retrograde  motion. They do not actually move backwards - it is merely a perspective as seen from the moving Earth (similar to a fast train overtaking a slow train and making it appear to move backwards). This means that for many (but not all) aspects and ingresses, such aspects or ingresses can be spread out over a period, repeating them. This is fully visible in the astrological tables or ephemeris. In the timelines, since these forth-back-forth passes can occur within the space of one year, they will often be shown as one aspect or ingress, or occasionally two if the aspect or ingress has taken place over two or more years. This several-step process represents, in the shorter-term, a release of the past, a key transition-point and then an adoption of the future. Change is often a process, not a clear-cut single event.

 Understanding markets in the light of interplanetary cycles of aspects radically shifts the way we see the  market. By identifying the major turns  in the market, particularly times of major astrological configurations involving the Mutation cycle we gain an insight into the major turning-points of the financial markets.

Astrocycles  financial  astrology  predicts by looking at aspects and ingresses of planets, and by gaining an understanding of what these imply, through observation of what has actually occurred in the past, plus astrological inference. Astrological theory, as it has evolved over the millennia, gives some insight into what might be expected to develop at any time of history, through examining the component parts of the astrological situation at the time. These components are: 1. the positions of the planets in the signs; 2. the energy-characteristics of any planets interacting with each other in aspect; 3. the qualities of the aspect(s) concerned and, 4. the stage on the unfolding cycle of aspects between those planets (particularly whether the cycles are waxing or waning).
