Study Confirms Planets Impact Stock Market Averages Astrology News Service 16/10/17 12:51
For centuries, astrologers also have claimed that the changing angular
relationships between orbiting planets powerfully impact events on earth.
Whether the various planetary archetypes will be expressed positively or
negatively largely depends upon the way they are aligned with each other
at any given time, he explained.
aspect that begins and ends the cycle and can be experienced either
positively or negatively depending upon the psychological characteristics of
the planets involved in the aspect.
Scientists have ridiculed this idea since the 17th century, arguing that no
mechanism exists to plausibly explain how planetary energies could
manifest in this way. However, new evidence impressively supports the
astrological position, Schulz maintains. In physics, an oscillator is a
measurement between maximum and minimum values. More than two
decades of research went into development of the TAO 2 technical aspect
oscillator Schulz created to analyze investment sentiment in the financial
markets. On a continual basis, the TAO 2 system computes the changing
angular relationships between nine different planetary pairs. The planets
Saturn, Jupiter and Mars are prominently featured in these pairings.
Because TAO 2 and the various stock market indexes are independent
variables with known and constantly changing numerical values, they can
be compared with each other using the Pearson product-movement
correlation coefficient, a common statistical test used to scientifically
determine whether a linear relationship exists. This method creates
correlation values (the Pearson r) between -1.000 and +1.000 with r =
+0.30 the threshold for statistical significance. In a series of tests
conducted between January 1, 1999 and June 30, 2008, the TAO 2s

moving average was compared with the Dow Jones Industrial Average
(DJIA) and S&P 500 Index twice a week on Tuesdays and Fridays over the
117-month period a total of 990 separate comparisons for each index.
The correlation value for TAO 2 and the Dow Jones Industrial Average was
r= +0.72, which is well above the threshold for statistical significance. A
similar comparison with the S&P 500 Index produced an even higher r =
+0.81 correlation.
Correlation is not causation. Stocks can and do move against the TAO 2
average for indeterminate periods of time. But the statistics suggest an
extraordinary connection between the aspect oscillator and stock indexes
that cannot easily be explained away by astrologys critics, he said. Schulz
believes the results are difficult to dispute because the technology
effectively blends applied mathematics with astronomy in a quantitative
numbers-in, numbers-out type system that automatically produces raw
scores from data input into mathematical formulae. Subjective human
interaction is not involved in any way.
Another test for the TAO technology examines its effectiveness as a stock
market timing device. Schulz routinely relies upon the technical analytical
tools used by insiders in the business, but doesnt make a move in the
marketplace without first checking directional indications predicted by the
TAO system.
While trillions of dollars in paper assets were vanishing from the stock
portfolios of agonized investors around the world, a portfolio of Exchange
Traded Funds (ETFs) posted on the www.schulzonmarketcycles.com
website between May 5, 2006 and April 1, 2009 were up a robust 395
percent.
