Course Description
From a young age, we are taught to think in a linear fashion. We are taught to measure time by the 24-hour cycle and by the passage of the various months. If time is linear, then why are the financial markets so volatile. Why do the markets unexpectedly soar higher or plunge lower? Is there another way of measuring time?
In fact, linear measures of time do not apply to the markets. What the vast majority of traders and investors do not know is there is an overwhelming correlation between the ever-changing configurations of orbiting planets and price movements on financial markets. Is this purely a scientific connection? Or, are powerful money managers in financial centers like London and New York moving prices of equities and commodity futures in accordance with astrological cycles? Whatever the case may be, traders and investors ought to be aware of the connection between astrology and the markets.
The connection between astrology and the markets is not a new one. In the early 1900s, successful traders like W.D. Gann, J.P. Morgan, and the mysterious Louise McWhirter recognized this connection. They used their knowledge of astrology to profit from the markets at key astrological occurrences. Knowledge of the connection between astrology and the markets was swept aside starting in the 1940s. Academic thinkers introduced concepts like the Efficient Market Hypothesis. Before long, people were told that investing was passive and for the long term.
This UDEMY Course aims to revive the knowledge of the astrology-financial market connection.
This Course introduces the student to the basic concepts of astrology. This curriculum then goes on to show by practical examples how astrology can be used as a tool to help people make trading and investing decisions on the financial markets.
Completion of this Course will most certainly assist the student in taking their trading and investing to a much deeper level.

Malcolm has crystalized a number of complex topics into a neat and understandable course. The selection of material is relevant with focus on the parts that matter to those trying to navigate the stockmarket ups and downs. Thank you for a most informative course.

This is in response to a midpoint review prompt from Udemy, so it may change by the end. Module 4 was a little confusing--are you teaching trading with astrology or are you teaching about what Market Makers may or may not do to manipulate the market during astrological events. If it's about them, then what would be the point of knowing astrology in relation to the market. It almost sounded more conspiratorial and less astrological. Like I said, Module 4 was confusing. Likewise, Module 5. I'm looking for a demonstration of applied knowledge in action. So far, I haven't seen it yet and I just completed Module 5. That said, I appreciated the teaching and resources shared in 1-3.

Out of the box thinking. These concepts are very similar to Indian Vedic Astrology concepts, "Vyapar Ratna", etc. other similar books, which use vedic astrology to predict cycles. He gives a fresh perspective to financial astrology with examples of charts.

Very informative. I have a pretty solid background in astrology, so that probably helped. That said, there were still concepts (particularly related to the markets) that were new to me. This course gave me some insights and things to look for as I watch the markets.

I was fine with most of the modules. Loved learning about McWhirter Long Cycle. that made the most sense to me possibly because I have advanced degrees in Math, especially in modeling trends. So the basis for her work made sense. The last module I was so lost because it was too much of miscellaneous, truly esoteric theories thrown together rather arbitrarily. Gann's master cycle, perhaps because there was no explanation how Gann came up with these cycles. Then when you threw in your own theories relating to 150 degrees for Venus and 209 degrees for Mars, then you really lost me. Last section felt like too much of grab bag of ???? for what purpose??? Either eliminate it or spend more time on just 1 or 2 most important "esoteric math" theories.

Very interesting and informative course! I have been in a financial astrology group for several months but I've learned more about financial astrology and its concrete applications in this course than in my monthly group meetings. I mean, you have given me tools that I can apply today to examine stocks. And you also provide a link to obtain the first trade data too! Thank you!

I already know classical astrology well, so this is not difficult for me. However I think anyone taking this course should be warned to learn a basic astrology course first. I can imagine lots of people give up halfway.

Schon das Intro war so informativ, dass es mehr wert war als die ermäßigte Kursgebühr, die ich dafür bezahlt habe. Und ie folgenden sieben Teile sind umso wertvoller, da sie natürlich sehr viel detaillierteres Wissen, insbesondere über den Einfluss von Merkur und Venus auf die Märkte vermitteln.

Very much insightful and interesting. it is a little bit difficult for me in starting lessons as I know only Vedic Astrology. Where they included only 9 planets, the Sun, Moon, Mars, Mercury, Jupiter, Venus, Saturn, North Node (Rahu), and South Node (Ketu). But the core topics of Financial Astrology are easily graspable because of your teaching style.
By Mario Cinquina on 8/21/2021
This is a good match. The instructor simplifies and expresses this subject in a way that is understandable. Makes the subject content interesting and does a good job melding market math techniques with astrological alignments. Instructor also presents this course with lots of resource material. A plus for the learner.
