Financial Astrology by David Williams is a pioneering work that bridges the gap between planetary science and financial market behavior. Drawing on more than half a century of research into business and stock market cycles, Williams presents a compelling case for the influence of solar and planetary activity on economic trends, investor psychology, and commodity markets.
The book is divided into two main sections: Business Cycle Forecasting and Stock Market Forecasting. In the first part, Williams explores the history of business cycle theories—from 19th and 20th-century economists to the Sunspot Theory—and demonstrates how planetary activity correlates with sunspot cycles and terrestrial phenomena. He explains how solar activity impacts agriculture, communication systems, electricity, and even human health, showing its far-reaching effects on economic activity.
The second part focuses on the stock market, stocks, and precious metals. Williams introduces planetary theories of market cycles, including Benner’s Price Cycles, Moore’s Venus Cycle, McWhirter’s North Node Cycle, and the 56-Year American Business Cycle Pattern. He also examines rhythmic and planetary cycles in stock prices, offering systematic forecasting methods. Importantly, Williams does not present astrology as mysticism but as a practical analytical tool, supported by statistical correlations and decades of forecasts with an 80% accuracy rate published in Dell Horoscope Magazine since 1964.
Rich with charts, historical data, and case studies, Financial Astrology equips traders and investors with a unique perspective: that planetary rhythms can provide foresight into economic cycles, market booms, and busts. It remains a classic for those seeking to combine astrological insight with financial strategy.
