The various planets orbit around the Sun, which is the center of our Solar System. This concept is easily pictured in the mind. But, the planets do not orbit in a perfectly balanced motion. They tend to move up and down slightly in their orbital path. This up and down motion is called ‘declination’. Scientists have for a long time been able to mathematically model the annual expected declinations of the various planets. The software program Solar Fire Gold that I use comes equipped with declination plots. The following is a screenshot of the first part of the 2020 year:

I draw your attention to the red line and the blue line on the above plot. The red line is the declination of Mars; the blue line the declination of Venus. These two planets and their declinations are critical to financial markets. Take a close look at the red line again. Note that it made its low point (declination minimum) in mid-February, 2020. And….when did the markets seriously begin to decline in response to Covid 19? The timing connection between market events and declination is at times spooky! The next time interval I am looking for is early May when Venus makes its declination maximum. Moreover, this coming declination event is also closely aligned to a phenomenon called Venus retrograde which too is a powerful marker for trend changes across markets. Things are about to get very interesting….keep your eye on the markets.
