In my travels, I recently came across an old book in a used bookstore that was all about planetary declination. So, first off – what is declination?

The planets orbit the Sun each in their own pattern but they are confined to a plane of motion called the ecliptic plane. As the planets orbit the Sun, they move up and down slightly relative to the ecliptic. This is what we call declination. Let’s say Mars was 10 degrees above the ecliptic. We would say Mars was at +10 degrees of declination. Let’s say Neptune was 5 degrees below the ecliptic. we would say it was at -5 degrees of declination.

Now, let’s take a look at planet pairs. Let’s say that on a given day, Mars was at +10 degrees of declination and Pluto was also at +10 degrees of declination. We would say that at that time, these two planets were at “parallel”. Let’s say on a given day, Jupiter was at +20 degrees of declination and Mars was at -20 degrees. We would say that at that time, these two planets were at “contra-parallel”.

Now, here is where it gets weird.Take a commodity – Gold, Cotton, Oil etc… Take a look at the declinations of the planets at the day in history when that commodity first started trading (the first trade date). Make a note of which pairs of planets were at parallel and contra-parallel.

Now, fast forward to here and now. Using tables of declination data (or a suitable software program), look for times when these very same parallel and contra-parallel events occur. Now, look at the price chart for the commodity. What you might see will shock you. All too often, sharp pivotal trend changes can be seen to initiate at the start or sometime finish of these parallel and contra-parallel events.

Now ask yourself – is this the power of Nature? Or, is this men in dark suits at hedge funds and investment banks manipulating the markets? If it is the latter – how evil-genius, brilliant of them. Very few people on the street are aware of declination. It is almost like declination is a timing mechanism and if people are unaware of it, then the men in dark suits will be free to swing the markets around to their benefit. The mainstream media will backstop the situation with their usual inept storymaking. ( …and in other news, the price of Gold was down today after blah, blah, from the Federal Reserve said blah, blah in a speech….).

So far, I am seeing a correlation between declination events and Gold, Cotton and Crude Oil. In the coming weeks, I will systematically look at all the commodities that I currently review in my Astrology Almanac. I would not be shocked to see the correlations extend across all commodities that trade in Chicago and New York.
