A rap on my Knuckles!

A pre 1992 budget, full of taxation and marginal sops took the wind out of the bulls. And for me it was a demonstration of the power of the Nodes ( Rahu and Ketu) along with Mars ( R) and what they could do to the markets.

I have shown a chart of the 1965 March sky and a comparison with the present celestial position. Even though our BSE traces its history to the 1950s, we have documented index values only from 1979. And so I have gone to Dow Jones Industrial Averages.I could not get a graphical representation of 1965 March price movements but I have managed a tabulation of numerical values. You can see how the Dow peaked on March 15, 1965 and gradually went down. This despite some powerful signature formations!

Chart for Indian Budget 2012-13 as of March 16, 2012, 11 am

At 11 am on March 16, 2012, at New Delhi,Ascendant is at 05:12:04 of Gemini. Mercury is the sign lord, Mars is the star lord, Sun is the sub lord and Jupiter is the sub sub lord. Mars is India`s 7th lord as well as a lord who specifies lagna or ascendant. This stands for a great initiative to push things forward, yet subjected to diktats from other partners. Since Transit Mars is retrograde and square both the nodes, we could expect trouble from the opposition which will reach a zenith by March 20 or 21 and thereafter wane.

Since the Ascendant at the time of the budget is conjunct both Mars and Uranus some very unexpected positivwe announcements may be in the pipeline.Since transitting Moon is conjunct pluto, this could be a reformatory step towards bringing down the external debt or something to do with taxes. Moon is in trine with Venus and Jupiter in Aries and with Mars ( R) in Leo. So the markets could suddenly rise during the budget session. This is expected to be a positive day for the markets.

Nifty Futures Technicals March 12, 2012

Here are the permanent charts of Nifty Futures and its significators. Interestingly, Ketu and Jupiter come across as great benefics, while Saturn is a depressant.These charts are courtesy of KP Star one software.

This chart explains the basic method I use for trading.It is a mechanical cross over of MAs with a couple of technical indicators. Supports, Resistances and Elliott Wave Projections give some targets to look for. And it is in this probabilistic area that we look for some Astro directions.

Which Astrology system to follow?

While there are several Astro systems across the world, the ones I prefer to use are India`s KP ( Krishnamurti Paddathi) System and the western zero Ayanamsa system. Any particular reason? My experience simply happens to be only in these two systems, that`s why!
Time and again I will refer to the natal chart of Nifty Futures and not Nifty, because Iam unsure of the exact date of first trade of Nifty.Rest rules shall come as we go along.Iam a practical guy and so Iam not much inclined towards esoteric or spiritual angles of Astrology.While Iam aware of such existences and I respect them, this blog will confine to mostly "use of Astro tools in trading", our primary motive being to make money through Astro Trading.

My two penny worth!

Welcome to Astro Technicals! This blog is about Financial Astrology- the effect of celestial bodies on the stock market. Being an Indian Trader and as one who operates predominantly in the National Stock Exchange of India, it is the S&P CNX Nifty which engages me most.My endeavor will be to combine Technical Analysis with Financial Astrology and see whether FA at least offers the benefit of a leading indicator. I welcome all like minded individuals to comment and offer feedback on the subject and my views expressed here.
