Astrology and Stock Market Forecasting

Astrology and Stock Market Forecasting by Louise McWhirter is one of the most influential works in financial astrology, originally published in 1938 as The McWhirter Theory of Stock Market Forecasting. It introduced a systematic approach to predicting economic and market cycles through astrological principles, particularly focusing on the lunar nodes and planetary transits .

McWhirter’s central thesis is that the North Node of the Moon, which takes about 19 years to complete its cycle through the zodiac, aligns closely with business and stock market rhythms. By tracking the North Node’s movement, along with aspects formed by major planets such as Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune, she demonstrated a reliable method for identifying bullish and bearish periods in U.S. markets .

The book blends astrological theory with practical market application. It provides detailed instructions for forecasting monthly and daily trends on the New York Stock Exchange, analyzing individual stocks through their incorporation charts, and timing entries and exits based on planetary aspects . McWhirter also compiles natal data for major U.S. companies, allowing traders to apply her methods directly to listed stocks.

Far from mere speculation, her work is backed by historical studies of business cycles from 1850 to 1950, demonstrating how planetary cycles correlated with prosperity booms, depressions, wars, and financial panics . For example, she highlighted how the Saturn-Uranus cycle governs major bull and bear markets, while lunar cycles provide shorter-term timing.

Accessible to both astrologers and market practitioners, Astrology and Stock Market Forecasting remains a cornerstone in the field. It continues to inspire traders who seek to integrate cosmic cycles with economic forecasting, offering a bold alternative to conventional economic theories that often fail to anticipate market turning points.
