Financial astrology studies planetary cycles and transits as one input into market research, alongside — not instead of — conventional technical and fundamental analysis.
What it's used for
Practitioners typically use cycle-based tools to flag periods that historically correlate with volatility or trend shifts in specific indices or commodities, treating this as one signal among several rather than a standalone trading system.
What it isn't
Financial astrology software is a research and study aid, not investment advice, and markets are influenced by far more than planetary positions. Anyone trading real money should understand the risks independently of any single analytical method, astrological or otherwise.
