André Barbault’s Cyclic Index of Global Tension, Conflict, and War comprises the cumulative angular distances between all planets from Jupiter through Pluto. When the graph reaches a low point, it signifies the presence of one or more conjunctions among these five outer bodies—alignments that tend to concentrate global turbulence. Conversely, an ascending graph indicates a progression toward planetary oppositions. While these low points reflect eras of heightened international, economic, and social tension, the peaks typically forecast the opposite. Notably, the index marked its lowest point of the entire 21st century in mid-March 2022.
