Before getting into this week’s market analysis, here are a few brief definitions to help explain the charts and tools I use.

All of the tools I personally use to make my trades are the same ones I offer in the Software Store at AstroTimeCycles.com. There are currently 14 standalone executable programs available through the digital store. When my book is published, I will explain each of these tools in much greater detail.

Latitude
A planet’s latitude is its celestial latitude relative to the ecliptic.

In simple terms, the ecliptic is the Sun’s apparent path through the sky and the main plane of the solar system. A planet can move slightly north or south of that plane, and that distance is called its latitude.

In my work, the market will often reverse direction when a planet reaches an extreme in latitude or crosses 0 degrees. The latitude charts below show that both the Sun and the Moon cross their respective 0-degree latitude lines.

Declination
A planet’s declination is its position north or south of the celestial equator.

The celestial equator is Earth’s equator projected into space. Declination shows how far above or below that line a planet is located, and it is measured in degrees.

0° declination means the planet is on the celestial equator
Positive declination means it is north of the celestial equator
Negative declination means it is south of the celestial equator

Longitudinal Speed
Longitudinal speed is how fast a planet is moving forward or backward in zodiac longitude.

Longitude shows where the planet is along the 360-degree zodiac
Longitudinal speed shows how much that longitude changes over time

It is usually measured in degrees per day.

The astronomical changes that occurred on April 11 and April 12 caused the market to reverse on Monday, April 13, with a strong rally.

On April 11, Venus crossed above 0 degrees latitude.

On April 12, Mars and Neptune formed an important conjunction. That means both planets occupied the same zodiac longitude. In other words, they were overlapping each other in the zodiac. Since the market was down on Friday, this powerful aspect helped trigger a reversal on Monday.

Also on April 12, other important astronomical events took place:

Mars and Neptune made a declination crossover.
Mars crossed over its 0-degree declination.

The following events point to a pivot top occurring on April 14:

Both the Sun and the Moon have latitude changes on April 14. They both cross 0 degrees latitude. See the charts below.
If I translate the April 13 S&P price into longitude, it meets the same longitude as Mars. This suggests resistance and a possible change in trend at that pivot point.

I use another tool that applies a lookback study based on a main pivotal day acting as a mirror image. Put simply, what happened in the past, as measured in calendar days, can be projected forward from a focal date to identify a future pivot.

For example, if I choose February 19, 2025 as a focal date and go back 419 calendar days to a previous pivot point identified by the program, then project that same 419-day span forward, it points to April 14, 2026.

If I choose April 7 as a focal date, the program finds a previous pivot 372 calendar days earlier on March 31, 2024. Adding that same 372-day span forward again points to April 14.

I can also take price from a pivotal day, such as the March 30 low in the S&P. The price that day was 6316, which I convert to 63 degrees. One of my programs allows the user to select any planet or the Moon and advance that body by longitude degrees from March 30 to a future date. In this case, 63 degrees multiplied by 3 Moon cycles lands exactly on April 14, 2026.
I also use Fibonacci time. If I measure the time span between the February 5 low and the March 30 low, then multiply that distance by 1.27, the projection reaches April 14.
