Learn / Upcoming events
What is happening next?
What's coming, and when
Why is this the only screen that looks forward?
Everything else here counts what already happened. This is the one that looks ahead, and it is careful about exactly how far.
It is a plain calendar of planetary events that have not happened yet: conjunctions, sign changes, retrograde turns, for today, this week or this month. Each one carries the exact time it occurs and the bodies involved. That is all. No returns, no averages, no expectations.
What do you do with a date?
You use it to work out what is worth looking up. See that an event is coming, take the bodies involved to the Explorer, and find out how markets actually behaved around events like it. Forward for the date, backwards for the evidence — never the other way round.
If you would rather have that done for you, the Dashboard covers the same forward window and puts the historical record beside each condition. This is the simpler view: just the calendar, with nothing attached to it.
How do you read the calendar?
- 1
Choose the window. Today and Week are open to everyone. Month needs a free account — logged out it is shown locked rather than hidden, so you can see what signing in would add.
- 2
Read the date and the exact time. Events carry the moment they become exact, not just the day, and the times are in IST. An event exact at 03:00 belongs to a different trading session than one exact at 15:00 — which matters as soon as you go looking for it historically.
- 3
Check the kind of event. Type and detail use the same vocabulary as the Explorer and Backtest — Aspect and its sub-types, Ingress, Conjunction, Station — so anything listed here can be looked up historically by name. A dash means the type has no sub-type.
- 4
Note which bodies are involved. This is what you carry to the Explorer: pick one as the anchor and you can see how markets behaved around that body’s events in the past. A single body means the event belongs to it alone, as an ingress does.
Where could a future date mislead you?
What a future date does and doesn't tell you
The times are computed celestial mechanics, and they are as reliable as astronomy gets — a conjunction listed for next month will occur then. That reliability is entirely about the sky and says nothing about price. Knowing precisely when an event happens is not the same as knowing what markets will do, and the certainty of the first can quietly lend unearned authority to the second.
The listing carries no historical statistics beside each event. That is deliberate for now: a single average return printed next to a future date reads as a prediction no matter how it is captioned. If you want the history, take the event to the Explorer, where the sample size and the confidence interval come with it.
The table also shows the source data as we received it, without curation. That is why two entries named Planet X and Planet Z appear alongside the familiar bodies: they are in the ephemeris we load and are not observed planets, so treat events involving them with more caution than the rest. We would rather show you what is in the data than quietly drop rows.
The likeliest way to misread this
Treating the calendar as a schedule of opportunities. It is a schedule of events. Most of them, measured historically, are followed by nothing much — and the only way to know which is which is to go and measure, not to assume that something listed must matter.
Which is the whole shape of this site in one line. A date here is where a question starts, never where one gets answered.
And when you do go and answer one, it is worth writing down somewhere. That is what the community noticeboard is for.
The standing caveat
Celestial Market Lens measures what markets did around historical planetary events. That is a description of the past. It is not a prediction, not a recommendation, and not investment, financial, legal or tax advice. Past results do not tell you what will happen next, and you are responsible for anything you do with money.
