Financial Astrology (Overview)

A branch of astrology aiming to predict economic and market trends using celestial movements.

• Core Belief: Planetary alignments influence financial markets and investments.

• Planetary Influence: Specific planets are linked to financial themes (e.g., Jupiter = growth, Saturn = limitations).

• Tools: Uses astrological charts for entities (companies, exchanges), transits, and progressions to forecast trends.

• Controversy: It is not widely accepted in mainstream finance and is viewed with significant skepticism. Recommendation: Use only alongside traditional financial analysis.

Sarvatobhadra Chakra (Vedic Astrology Tool)

An ancient Vedic astrological tool for predictions based on planetary transits, meaning "overall auspiciousness."

• Structure: A 9x9 grid (81 boxes) incorporating nakshatras, zodiac signs, tithis, weekdays, and Sanskrit alphabets.

• Key Concept: Vedha ("to pierce") – the influence of transiting planets on chart elements. Crucial for timing predictions.

• Usage: Analyzes transits, natal charts, and planetary periods (dasa).

• Financial Application: Used to forecast market trends, commodity prices, and potential highs/lows by analyzing vedhas.

Kota Chakra (Vedic Astrology Tool)

A specialized Vedic tool for predicting misfortunes, challenges, and adverse events.

• Structure: Three concentric squares/rectangles, with the innermost called the "Stambha" (pillar).

• Function: Analyzes planetary transits, with specific rules for direct vs. retrograde motion.

• Malefic Focus: The presence of malefic planets in the inner squares (especially the Stambha) indicates a high likelihood of misfortune.

• Financial Application: Used to predict the timing of financial obstacles, market downturns, and adverse events via nakshatra and planetary positions.

Krishnamurti Padhati (KP) Astrology

A modern, precise system of Vedic astrology developed by K.S. Krishnamurti.

• Defining Feature: The Sub-Lord System – analyzing subdivisions of nakshatras for pinpoint accuracy.

• Technical Differences: Uses the Placidus house system and the Krishnamurti Ayanamsa (vs. traditional Lahiri).

• Reputation: Known for its precision in event prediction and systematic approach.

• Accessibility: Considered relatively simple to learn and apply despite its detailed framework.

W.D. Gann Square of 9 (Trading Tool)

A mathematical and geometrical market forecasting tool developed by trader W.D. Gann.

• Structure: Numbers arranged in a 9x9 spiral grid starting from 1 at the center.

• Key Angles: The Cardinal Crosses (90°, 180°, 270°, 360°) are critical for identifying potential market turning points.

• Primary Use: Traders use it to identify potential support and resistance levels and predict price movements.

• Methodology: Based on a start number (e.g., current price); analysis involves calculating angles and positions on the grid for trade decisions.
