• Indication of Planetary Retrograde Movement

    The PlanetaryIndicators package allows to show periods of planetary retrograde movement either direct (using direct ephemeris) or as dedicated indicator. Retrograde means that a planet moves backward as seen from Earth. There are several theories that a planet turning retrograde (or back direct) has direct implication for markets.

    Probalby the most significant signature here is Venus turning retrograde – not only because it perfectly indicated the low in this year’s stock markets.

    The chart below shows the Dow Jones with Mercury ephemeris line. Retrograde is the period when the ephemeris line moves backward.Â

    The first sub-chart is the [PI] RelSpeed indicator with parameter single=0, meaning that no planet is singled out. So it shows retrograde periods for all 9 planets, as dot if the corresponding planet is retrograde.

    The second sub-chart is [PI] RelSpeed but this time single is set to 1, meaning I just want to see Mercury. The redline shows the relative speed of the planet in degrees. If the planet is retrograde, the line is below zero.
