Introduction to Financial Astrology

Astrology has been used for many purposes over the centuries, but one use of astrology that is not so commonly known about is assistance with financial forecasts and decisions. The astrological tools employed are taken from the same common toolset used with natal and electional astrology, but the interpretation of the astrological data is applied to financial realities and concerns. And as is the case with all of astrology, this use of astrology is based on empirical evidence gathered over a long period of time - astrological events corresponding to events in financial markets.

Financial astrology has been used, amongst other things, to predict major events in financial markets, to choose stocks, to time trades in financial instruments, and to analyze industry performance and movements in a stock market.

This chapter is not meant to be instructive in financial astrology. Rather it is intended to serve as a very brief introduction to a few of the concepts, and to some of the tools in Solar Fire that might be useful in this field.
