Geocentric and Heliocentric Bradley Indexes | Turning Points in 2026

The Bradley Index (also known as Bradley Siderograph, or Bradley Barometer) is a financial astrology indicator created by American astronomer Donald Bradley in the 1940s. The Heliocentric Bradley Index is an adaptation of the original geocentric concept, using heliocentric planetary positions instead (more on the calculation HERE).
 
Geocentric and Heliocentric Bradley Indexes for 2026.
 
Bradley Indexes 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.

Cosmic Cluster Days | December 2025

Heliocentric Cosmic Cluster Days (CCDs) and financial markets do not display a consistent polarity or directional bias. The 'noise channel' serves as a signal filter, with the upper and lower limits of the channel being empirically defined. That said, swing directions, along with swing highs and lows also within the 'noise channel,' may correlate with or coincide with short-term market trends and reversals.

PrimeTimes charts the Sun's fixed cycles (Dawn, High-Noon, Dusk) against the Moon's shifting overhead/underfoot periods. It uses two strength factors—proximity (Perigee/Apogee) and angle (High/Low Cycle)—to rate daily potential (0-100). Analyzing every minute, the system identifies overlaps where potent lunar and solar times coincide, giving an accurate, composite forecast.

Heliocentric Planetary Events and Financial Markets | Malcolm Bucholtz

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:

Gold futures (daily candles), May to September 2025.

McGrath Rentals (daily candles), May to September 2025.

Coinbase (daily candles), May to September 2025.
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.

Reference:
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.

How to Divide the Yearly Time Period | W.D. Gann

The average of stocks and many of the individual stocks make important bottoms and tops according to the Seasonal Changes, which are as follows:

The Winter Quarter begins December 22nd, and 15 days from this date is January 5th and 6th, which are always important dates to watch at the beginning of each year, as stocks often make extreme high or extreme low around these dates and a change in trend takes place. 
 
According to Kepler's Second Law, the line connecting the Earth and the Sun sweeps out equal areas in equal times,
causing the Earth to move faster when closer to the Sun and slower when farther away (Law of Equal Areas).
Adding 180 solar degrees to the major low in US stocks on April 7 (Mon) points to a high on October 6 (Mon). 

When stocks make low in December, just before or just after the 22nd, a January rise usually follows. Dividends are paid on the first of January, and people buy for the dividends, which brings about a rally which often culminates around the 3rd to 7th. However, in some years, the January advance lasts until around the 20th to 21st.

February 5th is 45 days from December 22nd, and minor changes often take place around this date and, sometimes, very important tops and bottoms are reached.
March 21st is 90 days from December 22nd. This is the date when the Sun crosses the equator and Spring begins. The Spring rally in the stock market often starts around this date or culminates if stocks have been advancing previous to this date.
May 6th is 46 days from March 21st or 135 days from December 22nd and equals the 135° angle. Watch for important change in trend around this date.
June 22nd is 93 days from March 21st, which equals 90°, and, of course, it is opposite December 22nd and is important for seasonal change, as Summer begins at this date.
July 7th is 15 days from June 22nd and six months or 180 days from January 7th. July being a dividend month, advances or declines often culminates around this date, and an important change in trend often takes place. It is the next important date to watch after June 22nd.
  August 8th is 47 days from June 22nd, but the Sun has only moved 45°, which equals the 45° angle. This is a very important date for change in trend, and you should watch stocks that make tops and bottoms around this date.
September 23rd is 93 days from June 22nd, but the Earth or Sun has only travel 90°. The Sun crosses the equator at this time and is 180° or opposite the point where it crosses the equator on March 21st. Fall begins at this date, and stocks make important changes in trend.
 
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. 

Divide the year by 2 to get 6 months, the opposition point or 180° angle, which equals 26 weeks.
Divide the year by 4 to get the 3 months’ period or 90 days or 90° each, which is 1/4 of a year or 13 weeks.
Divide the year by 3 to get the 4 months’ period, the 120° angle, which is 1/3 of a year or 17-1/3 weeks.
Divide the year by 8, which gives 1½ months, 45 days and equals the 45° angle. 
   This is also 6½ weeks, which shows why the 7th week is always so important.
Divide the year by 16, which gives 22½ days or approximately 3 weeks. 
   This accounts for market movements that only run 3 weeks up or down and then reverse. 
 

As a general rule, when any stock closes higher the 4th consecutive week, it will go higher. The 5th week is also very important for a change in trend, and for fast moves up or down. The 5th is the day, week, month, or year of Ascension and always marks fast moves up or down, according to the major cycle that is running out.
