India has a rich tradition of blending science and philosophy, but somewhere along the way, a critical misunderstanding has emerged. Many Indian students conflate astrology—the study of planetary influences on human affairs—with astronomy, the scientific study of celestial objects and phenomena. This confusion has led to an incomplete and often misguided view of how astronomical principles can be applied effectively, particularly in economics and stock markets. At Arthashastra Gurukul, we address this gap through Astronomics—a revolutionary discipline that combines the precision of astronomy, the depth of mathematics, and the real-world application of economic principles. This article explores the core differences and why Astronomics, as taught at Gurukul, is considered the GITA of Economics and Stock Market
Astrology: A Subset of Astronomy, Not the Whole Picture
Astrology and astronomy share common roots, but they are distinct disciplines. Astrology is an ancient practice that interprets the influence of celestial bodies on human life. It is a subset of astronomy and finds its place in Jyotishya, one of the six Vedangas of Vedic knowledge. Jyotishya encompasses 18 principles, yet only one of these principles focuses on planetary positions, which is the cornerstone of astrology
However, Indian students often mistake astrology as the entirety of astronomical science, limiting their understanding to planetary movements and their supposed impacts on daily life. This oversimplification sidelines the broader scientific aspects of astronomy, such as celestial mechanics, cycles, and cosmic relationships, which hold immense potential when applied to economics and financial markets
Astronomics: Beyond Planetary Positions
Astronomics is the science of integrating astronomy’s advanced principles into the study of economic and market cycles. Unlike astrology, which narrowly focuses on planetary alignments, Astronomics delves into:
- Degrees and Angles: Essential for understanding celestial positions and their cyclical patterns
- Summation Theories: Useful for identifying collective market trends.
- Speed of Light and Cycles: Core to understanding time-based market phenomena.
- Trigonometry and Mathematical Modelling: Vital for calculating market probabilities and price movements
These principles allow Astronomics to transcend astrology’s limitations. While astrology may attempt to forecast market trends based on planetary positions, it misses out on the mathematical and temporal dynamics that Astronomics incorporates
Why Astrology Falls Short in Economics
Astrology’s focus on planets is insufficient to address the complexities of economics and financial markets. Markets are influenced by a myriad of factors: geopolitical events, technological disruptions, human psychology, and time-sensitive opportunities. Astrology lacks the analytical depth to account for these dynamic elements
Astronomics, on the other hand, equips practitioners with a multi-dimensional approach. By analyzing cycles, time intervals, and numerical relationships, it offers a robust framework for understanding market behavior. This makes it a superior tool for traders and investors who seek consistency and precision in their decision-making
Why Arthashastra Gurukul Focuses on Astronomics
Time is the most critical, yet neglected, element in economics. Traditional educational systems—be it B-schools, CA programs, or even advanced economics courses—fail to teach the importance of time in understanding market behavior. This gap leaves students ill-equipped to tackle real-world financial challenges
