Welcome!

Before diving into the workings of the volatility forecast, let us extend a genuine welcome. The way we see it, there are two types of people interested in this subject matter:

  1. Individuals who believe in astrology and are eager to see its practical uses in the financial markets.

  2. Traders who are interested to know if this stuff actually works.

No matter which group you fall into, you’re in the right place. If you are already a believer, you’ll find this site thought-provoking and practical. If you are a trader looking for an edge, you won’t be disappointed.

How does the forecast work?

The volatility forecast is based on a data-driven, proprietary predictive model that highlights times of intense societal and macro-level energy, which often corresponds with large swings in the financial markets. The fundamentals of the forecast can be summarized by this simple logic:

  1. Volatility is based on market sentiment.

  2. Astrology can be used to forecast market sentiment.

  3. Therefore, astrology can be used to forecast market volatility.

Simply said, our model spots market turbulence, downturns, and black swan events ahead of time, making it easy to pinpoint when to place trades for maximum profit.

Who is this forecast for?

Swing traders, gamma scalpers, short sellers, call buyers, put writers…it doesn’t really matter the specific strategy you’re using; you will benefit from this forecast. If your trading depends on profiting from price movements (or the lack thereof), this forecast is for you.

RSI, MACD, Bollinger Bands, and the other well-known technical indicators are useful for what they are, but what sets this forecast apart is the fact that it is forward-looking. Keep using your other technical indicators if they are working for you but realize that relying only on backward-looking information is not giving you the whole picture.

All of this sounds too good to be true…is astrology even real?

Astrology is 100% real, but if you’re skeptical, we don’t blame you. The amazing and incredibly intricate study of astrology has been cheapened and mocked for so long, most serious people classify it as a pastime for the gullible. Astrology is a study. It takes time, focus, and discipline. What is currently passed off as astrology in popular culture is not even close to its true essence and value.

“Astrology has become a free zone for every type of opportunism and speculation. In truth, much of what today is called astrology—and accepted as such by most students—is nothing more than a collage of unconnected ideas, vaguely supported by astrological symbolism.”

- Helena Avelar & Luis Ribeiro, On The Heavenly Spheres: A Treatise on Traditional Astrology.

The difficulty of “proving” astrology is that it cannot be substantiated in the traditional sense - not by the scientific method or by observable, consistent results that you would expect from the hard sciences such as physics or medicine. Nonetheless, it is real. How do we say that with such confidence and authority? The effects are observable. Aspects between the planets permeate our energetic environment, making certain events more probable. We’ve performed 10,000+ hours of research and extensive back-testing that fully substantiates the correlation between planetary activity and significant macro-level events within our society and environment. Our efforts have culminated into a predictive model —a forward-looking technical indicator— that can be used to achieve trading alpha.

Let us be clear, the future is not pre-destined and anything is possible. The Aldebaran Forecast is by no means a fortune-telling instrument that is accurate 100% of the time. However, it does predict when the indications of increased market volatility are present, often to a remarkable degree of accuracy. Think of astrology as a cosmic weather forecast - a tool to make our lives easier and more predictable.
