Planetary Declinations as a Tool for Identifying Market Turning Points in 2025

The assumption is that extreme declinations—particularly lunar ones—represent potent energy points. The nature and magnitude of declination effects are linked to the market's position within the daily and weekly market maker cycles. This idea was elaborated upon in the works of W.D. Gann, George Bayer, Patrick Mikula, and Larry Pesavento. Below are several excerpts and charts that highlight the relationship between planetary declinations and market behavior:

W.D. Gann (1927) - 'Tunnel Thru the Air' 

In 1994, Bonnie Lee Hill presented a lecture on Gann’s book 'Tunnel Thru the Air'. She pointed out that "many hidden references to declination" appear throughout Gann’s writings. Hill focused on the repeating patterns related to declinations in Gann’s trading strategy, particularly in his analysis of cotton trading. She noted, "Today we will concentrate on the declination of the Moon – 0 South, 0 North, maximum South, and maximum North." Hill explained that Gann bought cotton when the Moon was at 0 South declination during a bull market, marking a bottom 80% of the time. She also observed that Gann sold cotton when the Moon was again at 0 South declination, signaling the market’s shift.

George Bayer (1939) – 'Preview of Markets'

Bayer describes how each planet’s declination has a unique effect on markets. He states, "Saturn crossing southward over Sun in Declination has always one effect upon wheat, but quite a different effect compared to Mercury or Venus doing it." According to Bayer, slower-moving planets like Saturn and Jupiter have a stronger influence on trends, while Mercury and Venus cause more minor fluctuations.

George Bayer (1940) – 'Stock and Commodity Traders’ Handbook of Trend Determination'

Bayer also noted that ancient texts from Confucius, Buddha, Mohammed, and others indicated knowledge of planetary movements, including Mercury's declination and its effects on humankind. He suggests that anyone not using planetary lines will miss crucial cycles of repetition, and after charting declinations, one can observe their impact on commodities like wheat, noting 0° positions for further analysis.

Patrick Mikula (1996) – 'Gann’s Scientific Methods Unveiled – Volume 1'

Mikula explains that while Gann used planetary declinations, evidence from 'How to Make Profits Trading in Commodities' shows that Gann's primary focus was the Moon. Mikula's "RULE 1" advises that when the Moon reaches zero degrees declination, traders should look for other astrological events on the same day, as these often coincide with trend changes and can mark the top or bottom of minor price swings.

Patrick Mikula (1996) – 'Gann’s Scientific Methods Unveiled – Volume 2'

Mikula further asserts that Gann correlated price movements with declinations. He mentions that Gann's charts included the declinations of the Sun, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune, though Uranus and Neptune were discontinued in 1939. For the period between 1938 and 1941, Gann also plotted geocentric Venus, Mercury, and, later, Pluto.

Declination is tied to the celestial equator, Latitude to the ecliptic plane.

Larry Pesavento (1996) – 'Astro Cycles – The Trader’s Viewpoint' 

Pesavento ranks lunar phases in order of importance for short-term stock and commodity timing, with maximum/minimum and 0° declination being the most crucial. He asserts that once a market begins to turn on a specific lunar phenomenon (such as apogee or maximum declination), it remains predictable for at least one or two lunar cycles.

Larry Pesavento (1997) – 'Harmonic Vibrations' 

At the end of this book, Pesavento mentions a powerful signal he discovered that works incredibly well—"Lunar Declinations and Mercury aspects." However, he notes that traders must find the exact signal themselves, offering only hints for further exploration.

The Bradley Barometer (also known as Bradley Siderograph or simply Bradley Index) is a financial astrology indicator created by Donald Albert Bradley (1925-1974) in the 1940s. Bradley developed a barometer that combines planetary transits. By assigning positive values to favorable transits and negative values to unfavorable ones, he created a weighted net sum oscillator graph.

Donald A. Bradley (1948) - Stock Market Prediction. 

The Planetary Barometer and How to Use it.

The equation for the Bradley Barometer indicator is calculated as follows:

[ (5) × (Long Term Value Sums + Declination Value Sums) ] + Middle Term Value Sums

The factor of five in the formula gives greater weight to (1) planetary aspects considered "Long Term" and (2) declinations. The Middle Term values represent planetary aspects that are important but receive less weight than the Long Terms. There are a total of 36 planetary aspects considered in the Barometer, broken down as follows:

• Long Term Aspects: 10 of the 36 aspects are classified as Long Term. These aspects generally involve the slower-moving outer planets (e.g., Jupiter, Saturn), and Bradley believed they should carry greater weight.
• Middle Term Aspects: 26 of the 36 aspects are classified as Middle Term. These aspects include the Sun and the faster-moving planets, from Mercury to Mars.
• Short Term Aspects: None of the 36 aspects are classified as Short Term. Bradley considered aspects involving the Moon to be Short Term, affecting only a few hours. Therefore, Short Term aspects are not incorporated in the Bradley Barometer, as they are not expected to influence medium- to long-term market behavior.

The slower-moving planets with longer synodic periods (e.g., Jupiter and other outer planets) compose the Long Term aspects, and these receive five times the weight of the Middle Term aspects. A synodic period between two planets is the time it takes for them to return to the same relative position in the sky (i.e., their conjunction).

 

The original geocentric Bradley Barometer takes planetary declination into account—planets higher in the sky above the horizon are given more positive values, while those lower in the sky, below the horizon, are assigned negative values. According to Donald Bradley, "The value of the declination factor is half the algebraic sum of the given declinations of Venus and Mars—northern declination considered positive and southern declination negative." It is also important to note that Bradley used a multiplier when calculating the value of declinations for the overall barometer.

Regarding this multiplier, Bradley stated that the Long Term and declination factors "may be given considerably more weight by multiplying them by 3, 4, or 5 times, depending on experimentation." Therefore, in computing the Bradley Barometer, one adds together (1) the sum of all the planetary aspects of the Middle Terms, and (2) the Declinations and Long Term Factors, adjusted by a multiplier, such as 3X, 4X, or 5X. 

 

The heliocentric index is an adaptation of the original geocentric Barometer concept, using heliocentric planetary positions instead. 

 

Donald A. Bradley, 1945.

Although there is no known physical correlation between these celestial movements and market behavior, the Bradley Barometer has been shown to correlate well with market turning points. However, regarding the limitations of his astro-indicator, Donald Bradley himself remarked the following:

 

"At no time must the reader gain the impression that a siderograph, as such, is a prediction of what the stock market will actually do. Nevertheless, observation proves that basic reversals in collective attitudes, clearly predicted by the line, are inevitably mirrored in stock averages. A limitation of the siderograph is that it cannot be construed as a forecast of secular trends. In statistical terminology, 'lines of regression' fitted to the market course and to the potential should not be expected to completely agree, for reasons obvious to anyone with keen business sense or commercial training."

Bradley indices are often misinterpreted, with many linking the slopes directly to market trends. Tops and bottoms can signal potential turning points in price, whether a peak or a trough. The importance of these turn dates is not dependent on the magnitude of the change before or after the turn, meaning that even moderate shifts can be just as significant as larger ones.

The New Moon typically marks the beginning of a cycle, while the Full Moon signifies its completion.
In bull markets, New Moons are often bottoms, and Full Moons are tops.
In bear markets, New Moons are often tops, and Full Moons are bottoms.

Major news releases (NFP, CPI, PPI, PMI, FOMC, etc.) and options expiration dates (especially Quad and Triple Witching) can delay or disrupt typical cyclical market behavior and astro signals.

 

Price always moves from Consolidation to Expansion, never from Consolidation to Reversal or from Consolidation to Retracement. After an Expansion, two possible scenarios can occur: either a Retracement or a Reversal, followed by another Expansion or Consolidation.

The 24 Chinese Solar Terms in 2025 │ Winter Begins Today ( 立冬 - Lì Dōng )

 Winter begins on November 7, which is 225° from the Vernal Equinox (0° Aries). 

This is what W.D. Gann referred to as a Natural Trading Day. 225° represents 0.618 of the solar year.

 

A solar term ( 節氣 ) is one of twenty-four periods in the traditional Chinese lunisolar calendar, each corresponding to a specific astronomical event or natural phenomenon. Starting from the spring equinox, these points are spaced 15 degrees, or roughly 15 days, apart along the ecliptic and are used by lunisolar calendars to remain synchronized with the seasons.

 Changes in trend often occur every 30° as the Sun moves into the next sign of the zodiac.

30° roughly equals one month, 30 calendar days or 21 trading days.

 

W.D. Gann knew that the astronomical year begins on March 21st and that this was also a very important seasonal time for financial markets. He used geometrical divisions of the solar year (degrees of solar longitude as well as calendar days) to ascertain turning points. Changes in trend often occur every 30° as the Sun moves into the next sign of the zodiac.

 

Dates at 45°, 90°, 135°, 180°, 225°, 270°, and 315° solar degrees from the Vernal Equinox (0° Aries) are what Gann called Natural Trading Days, with 225° representing 0.618 of the solar year (November 7). Though 15°, 22.5° and 45° also may coincide with changes in trend, Gann stressed the importance of the cardinal points (90° apart). He also used multiples of 90° and 144°, i.e., 90°, 180°, 270°, etc., and 144°, 288°, 432°, 576°, 720°, etc.

Cosmic Cluster Days (CCDs) and financial markets do not exhibit a consistent polarity or directional bias. However, swing directions, along with swing highs and lows—also within the 'noise channel'—may correlate with or coincide with market movements and reversals. For previous CCDs, click HERE.
