The research of astronomers and physicists such as Nicola Scafetta (Italy), Roger Tattersall (UK), and Ian R. G. Wilson (Australia) suggests that gravitational torque exerted by planetary alignments on the Sun’s plasma layers modulates solar radiation. These torques intensify when heliocentric planetary aspects align at 0°, 90°, 120°, and 180°. The Sun, as a fluid-like sphere of plasma, responds dynamically, torque destabilizes its equilibrium and amplifies radiative output.
Primarily, the orbits of Mercury, Venus, Earth, Jupiter, and Saturn drive the Sun’s motion around the solar system’s center of mass (CM) and generate torques on its outer plasma layers, corresponding to numerous cycles observed on Earth.
This excess quantum energy propagates outward, penetrates Earth’s geomagnetic shield, and interacts with the human brain at the neuronal level. Microscopic receptors in nerve cells appear sensitive to such quantum fluctuations, giving rise to what we recognize as emotion. Collective emotion or mood, in turn, governs social behavior: positive affect fosters risk-seeking, bullish dynamics in financial markets, while fear induces risk-aversion and bearish trends. Thus, planetary configurations that heighten solar emissions manifest indirectly as systematic shifts in the sentiment of financial market participants.
■ Nicola Scafetta, a physicist and climate scientist at the University of Naples Federico II, has published extensively on how planetary harmonics synchronize with solar and climate oscillations. His semi-empirical models demonstrate that cycles linked to Mercury, Venus, Earth, Jupiter, and Saturn correspond with variations in solar activity and, by extension, climate patterns. He has argued that planetary–solar resonances are physically meaningful and statistically coherent, particularly at 20-year, 60-year, and longer-term cycles.
■ Ian R. G. Wilson, an independent academic researcher, in turn, has investigated how periodic peaks in planetary tidal forces and spin–orbit coupling may modulate the solar cycle. His work emphasizes that alignments involving Venus, Jupiter, and Saturn can amplify tidal torques on the Sun, coinciding with observed sunspot cycle minima and maxima.
■ Roger Tattersall has developed a complementary framework, treating the solar system as a resonant harmonic structure, where orbital interactions impose rhythmic signals on solar activity. He contends that planetary motion imprints resonant frequencies on both solar variability and long climate records, underscoring the systemic coherence of planetary–solar–terrestrial dynamics.

To illustrate their findings and central theses, I have prepared three charts showing how planetary alignments from May through September 2025 coincided with pronounced market reversals or periods of consolidation:
Heliocentric Venus 120° Saturn, Mercury 180° Saturn, and Jupiter 90° Saturn in mid-May coincided with a sudden V-bottom in gold futures; with a sideways consolidation in McGrath Rentals; and with a pause in the bullish advance of Coinbase. Later, Mercury at maximum latitude in June produced equally dramatic, but instrument-specific, emotional inflections — bullish surges, reversals, and runaway trends, depending on context. July’s Mercury latitude minimum similarly aligned with abrupt tops or bottoms, again varying across assets but consistent in provoking emotional discontinuity.Across unrelated markets — gold futures, a construction-rental equity, and a cryptocurrency exchange — the same heliocentric triggers elicited measurable shifts in human behavior. This convergence confirms that planetary-solar mechanics, as articulated by Scafetta, Wilson, and Tattersall, are not abstract correlations but active influences on human sentiment and decision-making.
My focus therefore moves beyond classical astrology, with its symbolic houses and signs, toward a physics-based heliocentric framework. The question is no longer what Mars ‘means’ in Aries, but how concrete planetary alignments exert torque on the Sun, modulate solar emissions, and reverberate through human neurobiology into collective market psychology.

On September 21, 2025, during the partial solar eclipse that coincided with the heliocentric opposition of Earth and Saturn, the Russian Academy of Sciences' Institute of Space Research recorded this rare and almost simultaneous double coronal mass ejection (CME) on opposite sides of the Sun, with each colossal filament one million km long—about 70 times the diameter of the Earth.
