Saturn/Neptune Opposition 

By Alphee

Is the Saturn/Neptune opposition to be blamed for this 400 point drop in the Dow on February 27, 2007?  The exact aspect between those two planets is February 28 at 6:21 a.m. Eastern standard Time. It definitely was close enough to cause this great drop.

We learn from astrology that a Saturn Neptune opposition is a strong negative influence.  In the New York Stock exchange chart that I rectified, Neptune is ruling the midheaven. Could we have predicted this major drop from past performance of this planetary pair?

This aspect has occurred seven times since 1915, during which six of the times the Dow Jones went up and only one time the Dow Jones went down.

Running this criteria through our statistical program and a control group, it shows that there is a probability of 98% by chance that this aspect would make the market go up.

This graph shows the results of the 7 times since 1915 that Saturn and Neptune were in opposition.

If we believe that the stock market runs through repetitive cycles and we had to make a hindsight forecast on this Saturn Neptune opposition then logically it would have indicated that the market would have gone up.  At least that's what our study shows.

In my 45 years as a full-time astrologer this has been one of my most un-answered dilemmas in astrology.

Even when working with client charts, regardless if it's a personal chart or a business chart, every time something major happens you can find the exact aspect that describes the situation to a T.

But the dilemma rears its head when strong negative or positive aspects between a planetary pair appear in a chart and nothing happens!  An aspect could happen repeatedly without any visible result or event occurring – then one day it wollops you! .  Why then? Why on that day?  I call this enigma the missing link and I think when we find this link it will be a great day for astrology.

  Again, it appears that there is a missing link with this current Saturn opposition Neptune.  I just doesn’t offer consistency to provide a good, reliable grip as to where the market is going.  As a matter of fact, past performance of this aspect indicated to results that were directly opposite what we saw today. 

I used the Dow Jones historical data from January 1,1950 till December 31, 2006.  I used my variable  sign model no aspect at all and send it through THE MARKET TRADER TITANIUM ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE NEURALNET MODULE.  The graph below is the result that I got. 

The Orange line on the graph I used 180 days movable average and the Green line 90 days movable average.

So again I keep asking myself can we accurately predict the stock market using astrological aspect?

Does astrological cycles prove to be the way to predict the stock market?  With all the research that I have done in the last couple of years it sure points to that.  What a wonderful approach to help pin point exactly what the market will do under a powerful planetary aspect just like it shows in the the above  graph on the Saturn/Neptune opposition.  It is very hard to make an accurate forecast using statistical past performance of a single aspect between planets.

I proved to myself that NeuralNet artificial intelligence I can trade very successful.

On my website at I have written an article from a two year research on astro finance. In that article I described that using regular astrological aspects like the Ptolemy or the minor aspects is perhaps not a very good tool to predict the market. I show a better way to use astrologically/astronomy criteria for market predictions.  

My research shows that one pair of planet by itself  does not prediction the stock market.
