Financial astrology
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Financial astrology (also known as business astrology, economic astrology, and astro-economics) is the practice of relating/correlating the movements of celestial bodies to events in financial markets. Financial astrology can be applied in the following ways:
- 1. Predicting major economic trends as they relate to certain cycles, specifically on the cycles of outer planets
- 2. Helping an investor find the best industry to be in for a particular period of time based on major planetary configurations
- 3. Identifying the best stocks to own during a particular time period
- 4. Identifying the best date and time to buy or sell a stock.
The practice carries the implicit belief that astrology is valid and influences human behaviour. Although astrology is generally regarded in mainstream Western thought as having no logical basis, advocates of the efficient markets hypothesis would make the same claim with respect to technical analysis, while technical analysts might in turn make the same claim about analysis based on observable market fundamentals.
