How to Read This Research
A plain-language explanation of planetary positions, retrograde motion, aspects and market-event terminology.
Zodiac sign
The zodiac is divided into 12 sections of 30 degrees each. The sign identifies the section occupied by the planet. This is astronomical positioning for research, not a personal horoscope.
Direct motion
The planet appears to move forward through the zodiac when viewed from Earth.
Retrograde motion
The planet temporarily appears to move backwards when viewed from Earth. It is an apparent motion caused by the relative movement of Earth and the planet.
Planetary aspect
A measured angular relationship between two planets. Astrology studies whether similar angular relationships repeatedly coincide with particular market conditions.
Orb
The difference between the measured angle and the exact aspect angle. A smaller orb means the alignment is closer to exact.
Common Planetary Aspects
These interpretations come from traditional astrology. STFL will test them against historical market data rather than assume they predict market behaviour.
| Aspect | Exact angle | Plain-language meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Conjunction | 0° | Two planets occupy nearly the same zodiac longitude. Traditional astrology treats this as a concentration or combination of themes. |
| Sextile | 60° | Two planets are approximately 60 degrees apart. Traditionally interpreted as a potentially supportive relationship. |
| Square | 90° | Two planets are approximately 90 degrees apart. Traditionally associated with friction, pressure or adjustment. |
| Trine | 120° | Two planets are approximately 120 degrees apart. Traditionally associated with smoother or reinforcing conditions. |
| Opposition | 180° | Two planets are positioned on opposite sides of the zodiac. Traditionally associated with tension or competing forces. |
Example
“Mars–Pluto conjunction with an orb of 0.13°” means Mars and Pluto were almost at the same zodiac longitude. The 0.13° orb shows that the conjunction was very close to exact. It does not, by itself, mean that a market crash was predicted.
Market Peak
The highest closing level reached before a qualifying decline begins.
Market Trough
The lowest closing level reached during the detected correction or crash.
Recovery
The date on which the index returns to or exceeds its previous peak.

Planetary Research Framework
Traditional hypotheses that STFL may test against historical market data.
| Body | Research role | Traditional hypothesis | Areas to examine | Evidence |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Jupiter | Structural cycle | Traditionally associated with expansion, liquidity, optimism and risk appetite. | Broad-market participation, financials, consumption and metals. | Not tested |
| Saturn | Structural cycle | Traditionally associated with restriction, discipline, consolidation and pressure. | Capital expenditure, infrastructure, commodities and defensive rotation. | Not tested |
| Uranus | Structural cycle | Traditionally associated with shocks, disruption, innovation and unexpected change. | Technology, emerging industries and volatility. | Not tested |
| Neptune | Structural cycle | Traditionally associated with uncertainty, narratives and changing expectations. | Sentiment, policy narratives and sector rotation. | Not tested |
| Pluto | Structural cycle | Traditionally associated with structural transformation and systemic change. | Long-term industrial change, concentration and emerging themes. | Not tested |
| Mars | Potential trigger | Traditionally associated with urgency, momentum, conflict and forceful movement. | Energy, defence, metals and high-beta segments. | Not tested |
| Mercury | Short-term context | Traditionally associated with communication, information flow and market reactions. | Technology, media, exchanges and short-term sentiment. | Not tested |
Rahu, Ketu and nakshatras are excluded because the current calculation engine uses the tropical zodiac. They can be added later through a separate sidereal research model.
