Stock Market and Astrological Aspects

By Kshitij Sharma, July 16, 2014

Hello Readers,
These are my very preliminary and basic notes on how stock markets are predicted using Vedic Astrology. These
are derived from the bible of Mundane Astrology that is Brihat Samhita. Brihat Samhita describes the
matter/material associated with planets and then the movement of planets through various signs and nakshatras
affects the demand and supply and price movement in commodities and stock market. There are not a lot of
learning matter available for Vedic Astrology and I am in process of getting a book called Vyapar Ratna which is
supposed to contain specifics on movement in commodities markets. Some information is also derived from
Muhurta Chintamani that talks about when we can/should spend/invest/loan money. I apologize that there are no
examples, charts or other details in this article as I am still learning. I will try to share information as and when I
get it.
The tools that are very important are panchanga and an astrology chart for the morning time for stock market.
We need to note the nakshatra, rashi and position of other planets. Rest is driven by the knowledge of astrology.
Traders and Timing

Depending on the Moon transit, traders should keep away from trading if Moon is in transit through their
2nd house (), 8th () or 12th house()
Mechanism for prediction

Create a chart for morning time at the opening bell for the stock market

Improvement in the sector

In its own sign, friendly sign or exalted

Beneficial aspects

Retrograde? (should we not put money in the area if the planet is retrograde?)

Decline in sector
o

The governing planet is combust.

Exact conjunct causing .

Malefic aspects from Saturn, Mars, Rahu

Aspects from other planets

o

Aspect from Sun or Sun in the house governed by a planet indicates favour or impediment
from government depending on the nature or Sun in the horoscope.

Moons effect causes upward/downward movement, the direction depends on other

effects/aspects.

Mercury is similar effect, associated with rumours and indecisiveness if Mercury has negative
aspects. Mars indicates high volume trading and fluctuations.

Venus effect indicates steady and dull market in the area that it aspects

Jupiter expansion in the industry and growth. Overproduction, glut, increase supply, reduce
cost

Saturn: good aspect will steady the market and long term growth; bad aspect will case long
term depression. Commodity prices will grow because of short supply general frustration due
to such price rise.

Conjunctions and aspects of Rahu/Ketu are generally bad.

Nakshatras/Yogas One should be completely aware of the panchanga. The online panchanga on this
site should definitely help.
o

There are certain Nakshatra/Yogas when we should avoid. Investment should be avoided in
Sharp, Fixed and Mixed nakshatras.

Rikta/Bhadra tithis, Vyatapat yogas should be completely avoided while making investment,
since investment made during this period will not come back.

Vanija Karana is one that is suitable for sellers, but not for buyers.
