Longitudinal Difference between SUN, MERCURY and VENUS

I am not going to tell much detail about Sun, Mercury and Venus. The only thing that I will is that they are always near the Sun. They are never seen as square or opposition to Sun in Geocentric system.

Mercury stays between 28° from Sun. Similarly, Venus stays between 45° from Sun. Both, never goes beyond this limit.

This astrological phenomenon gives us 3 distinct systems to determine the trend reversal in Stock Market. These 3 systems are formed between the Sun, Mercury and Venus. We have to use them in pairs. And these pairs are;

1. Sun and Mercury (6 - 7 times a year)
2. Sun and Venus (3 - 4 times a year)
3. Mercury and Venus (1 - 2 times a year)

These pairs are listed in the order of occurrence, the most occurring as first.

These pair lines are generated using the longitudes of respective planets.

I have used NIFTY for the demonstration purpose and below are the images which are self descriptive, so no need to explain. The RED vertical lines drawn indicate the trend reversal. View the images and come to a conclusion.

The first 4 images are for the pair of Sun and Mercury.

The next 4 are for the pair of Sun and Venus.

The next 4 are for Mercury and Venus.

The next 4 are for all the 3 pairs.

I am adding some images of S&P500 with Sun-Mercury Pair

George Bayer Rule No. 2A OR VENUS - Heliocentric Latitude (Method - 2)

I hope all of you have understood the previous method of using Heliocentric Latitude of Venus to find the CITs (Turning Points or Turning Dates or Trend Reversal Dates). There is another method, using the Heliocentric Latitude of Venus to find the same.

This method is from Stock and Commodity Trader’s Hand-book of Trend Determination by George Bayer. This is Rule No. 2A. (Page No. will vary depending upon the version which you have. ;) )

“Measure from important tops or bottoms by using Venus in heliocentric position. Project from such tops or bottoms the value of 4° 58'. During certain periods I found that 4° 52' would be more advantageous, but the difference is so small it is not important .....”

The decimal equivalent of 4° 58' is 4.96667 and that of 4° 52' is 4.86667. The difference between these 2 values is of 0.1. I have used 4.96667 for the demonstrations.

And the maximum latitude value of Venus, southwards is -3.39492 and northwards is 3.39495. 

Coming to steps…..

Take any significant (I have dropped the word "important") low or high. Note down the value heliocentric latitude. 

If the value is negative, then add 4.96667 to it. If the value if positive, the substract it from 4.96667. If this value is lesser or greater then the max. value of -3.39492/3.39495, then add/substract the max. value respectively.

We got a positive answer. Now put a negation (minus) sign to it. Now we have 2 values, answer value and answer value with negation sign. Check when Venus crosses these latitude values, in future. Those dates will be CITs or trend change dates or turning dates.

On 17-Oct-2014, Nifty made a low; the latitude of Venus was 2.90275. Being a positive value, we will substract it from 4.96667, which gives 2.06392. Another value will be -2.06392. Below image is self explanatory. 

 L1 and L2 lines are for 2.06392 and -2.06392 respectively. A, B, C, D, E, F (Red Vertical Lines) are the days when Venus crossed the lines L1 and L2. G is the day coming on 02-Oct-2015, Friday, a holiday when Indian Market will be closed. So we should consider the next trading session, which will be on 05-Oct-2015, Monday. (Sometimes NSE trades on Saturday’s. If this happens then we will need to check it on 03-Oct-2015)

The Blue vertical lines are for the maximum latitude value, both sides. These too are important for trend reversals. 

The below image is of RELIANCE. Here I have shown how the ZERO Line too, gives us trend reversal indicated by Magenta vertical lines. The next ZERO Line crossing is on Sunday, 27-Oct-2015, so will take 28-Oct-2015. And the next L1 and L2 crossing, derived from the low of 14-Jan-2015 will be on 09-Oct-2015 and 13-Nov-2015.

VENUS - Heliocentric Latitude (Method - 1)

Well, while studying the effect of Heliocentric Latitude of Venus on CNX Nifty (Nifty here after), I found this amazing "nuskha". And It works

Before moving on to this "nuskha", I am assuming that everybody knows what latitude is. Those don’t know or are unable to remember, simply google it. Heliocentric Latitude when plotted will be like a sine wave. The values are positive and negative.

Now coming to the "nuskha".....

Take any significant High/Low as a starting point (say A), then take the immediate next Low/High (say B).

Next note down the Latitude of Venus on these 2 dates. These both values can be Negative or Positive or anyone be Positive and other Negative.

Then using simple mathematics, substract the second from the first i.e. A - B. Here you will have to go back to the school days to recall simple mathematics ;)

Because.....

A – (-B) = A + B           [A minus (minus B) = A plus B]

-A – (-B) = -A + B         [minus A minus (minus B) = minus A plus B] and so on...

These principles will be applicable for this "nuskha".

After getting the answer i.e. the value after substraction, you have to check when Venus will cross this value (in terms of Heliocentric Latitude) and that day will be your Trend Change Day or CIT or Turning Date.

I have described this method with proper illustrations in the below images. I have used Nifty (3 images) and NTPC (1 image)

You will see 2 horizontal lines plotted. One is for the exact answer which could be either a positive or negative value. The other is for reverse value. Say you get a positive value, so one line is for it and other for its negative value.

Special Notes :

There will times when the answer you got, after doing the necessary maths, will go out of the minimum and maximum range of the latitude. The minimum heliocentric latitude is -3.39492 and the maximum is 3.39495. These are the extreme values. So, if the value goes beyond these level we have to either add/substract the extreme value from the original value.

Say we get -4.1230 as our answer after doing the maths. Then add the extreme value to it i.e.
-4.1230 + 3.39492

And if we get a positive answer, higher than the maximum value, we need to substract it from the answer i.e. the value obtained after doing the maths.

Say we get 4.1234 as our answer, then substract the maximum value from this.

If we forget the negation sign, the minimum and maximum values are not same. The difference is of 0.00003, which is negligible in our case. So when the answer goes beyond either of the values, you can simply add/substract 3.39492 or 3.39495.

Another important thing about this "nuskha" is that the horizontal lines drawn will somewhere, in future, intersect the Venus Latitude. These dates are also of importance. you can check in the images.


As mentioned in the title, this is Method - 1, using Heliocentric Latitude of Venus. I have found 2 more like this.

Note: I have taken the Heliocentric Latitude from ZET 9 Lite (free version). Here after, I will not mention this Note, unless the source of data is different.

DLF - Heliocentric Longitude of Saturn with arbitrary constant numbers 0.528565 & 5.28565

I don’t remember how I found this “nuskha”, but it works…

Take any significant High/Low. Note down the HELIOCENTRIC degrees of Saturn on that day.

Add 0.528565 and 5.28565 to it.

Now check when Saturn comes very close to these values. Rather, the value should be crossed.

I have attached the image with 2 examples on it.

Let us take the first one, for explanation.

On 08/12/2014, DLF made a significant top (marked with a black arrow). Heliocentric Saturn was at 236.51941 degrees.

Adding 0.528565 to 236.51941 gives 237.047975.

Now, on 25/12/2014 Heliocentric Saturn was at 237.04255 degrees (time of these degrees is 9:30 AM). Saturn had not crossed the required degrees. These degrees were crossed on 26/12/2014 and was 237.07331. I have marked this date with black colored line “A”.

Now adding 5.28565 to 236.51941 gives 241.80506. Saturn crossed these degrees on 31/05/2015, marked with black colored lines “B”.

In the second example, DLF made low on 11/03/2015. Saturn was at 239.37626 degrees on this date (at 9:30 AM). Adding 0.528565 gives 239.904825, which was on 27/03/2015, marked with light blue colored line “A”.

Now adding 5.28565 to the degrees of Saturn of 11/03/2015 gives us 244.66191. Saturn crossed these degrees on 01/09/2015. This is marked with light blue colored line “B”.

As, I have not updated my software, I am attaching another image to show you what happened with DLF on 01/09/2015…. You can back test this “nuskha”. Sometimes the trend changes after 1 day.

If you have noted both the arbitrary constant numbers, you will see that the second is 10 times the first or first is one-tenth of the second. Actually I started with the second one i.e. 5.28565.

Note: I have taken the Heliocentric Longitude from ZET 9 Lite (free version)

First Post

Here, I will be sharing about my Astrological (both Geocentric and Heliocentric), Astronomical and Geometrical studies done on some Stocks (my favourite) and Nifty Index. These studies helped me a lot for generating Turning Dates (Trend Reversals). Once you know a date when the trend will reverse, it makes easier to decide whether to go Long or Short. Most of these techniques will primarily focus on Time. The Price factor can be then easily determined using other technical tools like Fibonacci Retracements & Extensions, Support & Resistance, Trend Lines and others.

I have developed a software to help me doing the astrological and astronomical studies. For geometrical studies, I have contributed a little in the development of another software meant for geometrical studies. To know more about this software, you need to visit www.geometricalanalysis.com

During this journey, I made some good friends, who shared there ideas with me. I will also share their ideas along with their names.
