Beyond the Y Axis: How the Trilogy Reads Price, Time and the Planets Together

1. Introduction: the missing dimension of time

Economics is a matrix model with more than two dimensions: one dimension is numbers, the other is time. Business and economics are cyclical, which is why we study the business cycle.

Yet today's education system teaches only one dimension, the numbers. B-schools and economics schools do not teach time as the second dimension of economics. What they call time is historical data analysis, mostly the result part. It is like analysing Diwali demand from October in the month of November.

As a result, today's market economics depends heavily on data, and increasingly on automation and AI that execute without human intervention. This data-driven economy has overlooked time, the very cause of the events that produce the data we analyse.

2. Core premise: markets are human psychology

After years of research, the findings form a single chain of reasoning:

1. The market moves with time.
2. The market is all about human beings and their transactions.
3. Buying and selling decisions are psychological.
4. People's psychology is influenced by several factors.
5. Most of that influence comes from the cycles of time in space.
6. The rest comes from background, education, family, peer groups and the macro- and micro-economic situation.

Greed and fear, the two emotions that drive every market, are therefore consequences of these cycles of time.

3. Time, the cosmos and the investor's mind

Psychology is influenced by the cosmos in direct proportion to the Moon and the other planets. The human body is about 70% water, and the universe is about 70% dark matter. Just as the Moon's gravity creates high and low tides, the rising and falling water level in our body changes our state of mind. The other planets play the remaining part, unconsciously.

Time itself is complex and boundless. As Shiva teaches, time is all about vibrations, factored by too many catalysts. These vibrations, such as planetary alignment and its degree in space, cannot be captured by a linear model.

There is nothing beyond 360° in the universe. Everything moves in degrees, even numbers, time, our thoughts, our analysis, our behaviour, our greed and our fear.

The influence is not absolute. When you are conscious of it, it is mitigated. This is why meditation, calming your internal vibration, plays a major role in the decision-making process.

4. The framework: matrix model and trilogical approach

The colonial educational system follows a linear model of economics. Astronomics follows a matrix model, in which numbers and time are read together rather than one at a time.

The best way to catch the vibrations of time is a trilogical model. When one dimension is misinterpreted, the other dimensions let you catch the error. For example, the degree of a particular time determines the levels, and the method must coincide with other methods to come to its 45° angle.

The three lenses of the trilogy, as used in this paper, are:

• Econometrics: price, median price, moving averages, price elasticity and candle behaviour.
• Time cycles: solstice and equinox, quarterly, monthly and lunar cycles.
• Astronomical positions: the degrees, motion and combinations of the major planets.

4.1 The common mistake: reading only the vertical axis

Economics and B-schools teach only the Y axis. On a chart, what you see on the vertical axis is just a number, not price. On a 0–100 number scale, 50 is simply the mid-mark, nothing more. Price itself stays on the 45° angle: whenever you see a number on the Y axis, price has automatically moved to its 45° angle.

4.2 The trilogy square

The trilogy square is what turns economics from a linear model into a matrix model: it places every reading inside one square of number and time. Price runs on the 45° diagonal; the vertical mid-line marks the number on degree; the horizontal mid-line is the degree support, read through volume and buying behaviour; the astronomical line crosses through the centre; and the base is the natural cycle, with time measured in units of 9.

The process of using the trilogy within the matrix model is set out in the Methodology and shown through the case studies that follow.

5. Why planetary knowledge alone fails

Knowledge of planetary positions without knowledge of economics is as fatal as standing on the edge of a cliff. Because schools do not teach the time dimension, a number of so-called experts have appeared on social media offering financial astrology to fill the gap.

The father of astrology is Parashar Muni. His work is a pure science of the human being and the life cycle, predetermined by the cycle into which one is born. Combine it with the work of Vashistha Muni, a renowned astronomer and Parashar Muni's grandfather, and we get the cycles of the Moon, Earth and Sun as the factors of all life on Earth, seasoned with the numbers 1008 or 108, 12 and 9.

Most people do not know why there are 12 rashis: the Moon goes around the Earth 12 times a year. Now take 11 planets including Rahu and Ketu, and 27 nakshatras. Together they give 3,564 combinations. Rahu and Ketu are always retrograde, and the Sun and Moon are always direct. The remaining 7 planets sometimes turn retrograde and then direct, and sometimes become combust and then rise again. Each of these phenomena creates a new cycle, or a change in the cycle. In a nutshell, that gives nearly 19,296 or more combinations.

The simple argument is this: can 19,296 combinations really be applied to the buying behaviour of millions of people? Markets, business and economics are about you and me, human beings and our transactions. In my opinion, and I may be wrong, anyone who follows financial astrology on its own is a fool.

The answer is to focus on all the cycles and positions together and match them with econometric calculations and astronomical units. That is only possible through the trilogical approach, where each combination is measured with the speed of 12, 9 and 108.

6. Methodology

This is the most important section. The method builds from simple cycles to the full matrix.

Building the time cycle

1. Check the solstice and equinox cycle. This gives the quarterly cycle.
2. Match the quarterly cycle with the monthly cycle to see how each month is behaving.
3. Match the monthly cycle with the Moon's phases.
4. Combine these cycles with the positions of the major planets.

Reading it in the matrix

5. Up to this point the work is easy. The major task is to read it in a matrix model.
6. The planets alone give you no data to retrieve; they create 3,564 combinations, and each combination gives a different result at each degree.
7. So combine the planetary picture with buying behaviour.
8. For example, Venus turns retrograde from 3 October, which is positive for the coming week. Previously, though, Venus retrograde has always brought negative results because of inflationary pressure and high yields in agricultural products.
9. Finally, check whether price needs to square with time before the next move.

7. Case studies

7.1 Silver: moving against time

In December 2025, when economists and astrologers were focused on targets of $250 to $300, we forecast that silver was moving against time. It started reversing from 30 January 2026 after making a high of $120, itself an astronomical number. At $120, with everyone forecasting $250 to $300, we said silver must fall back to $60 to square with time.

Today price is consolidating and squaring with time. Our forecast now: once the time square is complete, silver will retest its high.

7.2 Mars in Ardra: why one planetary signal misleads

On 12 August, Nifty was at 24,463 and Mars entered Ardra, which is ruled by Rahu. As per Siddhantam, the market was supposed to be negative for the next 18 days, until 1 September, when Mars moves to Mrigashira nakshatra.

Astrologers therefore turned optimistic from 1 September. They overlooked Rahu's presence in Dhanishtha nakshatra from 2 August. Dhanishtha is ruled by Mars, so Rahu and Mars remain together, and will until 30 November 2027.

Does that mean the stock market will be negative until November 2027? Absolutely not. A single combination, read alone, cannot forecast the buying behaviour of millions of people.

7.3 Nifty analysis, 3 October 2026

Econometric view. Nifty is at 22,421, near its monthly-degree support zone of 22,180. Two further supports lie at 22,250 (225°) and 21,800 (180°). On these degrees the downside leg is likely to come to rest, because the market moves in degrees.

Buying behaviour in one direction rarely continues five times in a row; when it does, it creates a strong opposite candle. Nifty has printed four consecutive red weekly candles, which points to a strong green candle on its way. Traders and investors only need to manage the downside at this moment.

The median price of the last 200 days also acts as strong support. Price is just sustaining above the 200-period DMA at 22,380. Historically, whenever price falls back to the previous bottom, made on 2 April 2026 at 22,200, it takes support and reverses. All signs point to a pullback rally, which has nothing to do with the planets at this moment.

Price elasticity. Price is far from its median of 23,430, so it must come back and test it once, after which we re-analyse. Over the longer period the market remains bearish unless price stays above 24,200. It is likely to consolidate between 23,500 and 24,200 for some time before turning positive over the longer term, which is yet to be forecast.

Planetary view. Next week brings no planetary change other than Venus retrograde. Venus represents Bank Nifty, so food grains, travel and tourism may see high cost volatility. In the long-term cycle, Saturn and Neptune sit together at 330°–360°, both retrograde, which looks positive for the market.

Trilogical conclusion. Those expecting a heavy correction are ruled out by both these planets. Our forecast of a decent upside, already made from other econometric calculations, coincides with the important October 2026 dates of 1, 13 and 25 October.

7.4 Nifty 2026: the cycle so far and the forecast

Forecast: Nifty is set to rise about 1,000 points from here (22,421 on 3 October 2026), reversing from an oversold position to satisfy price elasticity, with Venus turning retrograde on 3 October.

The 2026 cycle that led here:

A rise of 1,000 points takes Nifty to roughly 23,400, the same zone as its median price of about 23,430. That is where the price-elasticity reading in 7.3 expects price to come back and test.

Note: the full, more acute calculations and explanation run to more than 10 pages.

8. Results

Past experience shows the results to be consistently accurate. With in-depth study, patience, and the practice of financial yoga and mudras, a practitioner can reach an accuracy of 9 out of 10 forecasts. Forecasts are published from time to time on YouTube and Instagram, where they can be checked.

Track record

Every forecast below is dated and was published on YouTube and Instagram when it was made, so readers can check each call against what the market did.

This record is updated as each forecast resolves, misses included.

9. Limitations

The Vedic method generally follows Shruti, the way the Vedas were composed and passed on. Unless your inner wisdom is awakened, retaining and interpreting the calculations becomes heavy.

Because Astronomics follows a matrix model rather than the linear model of the colonial educational system, learning in a Gurukul environment is very much necessary to raise that inner wisdom.

10. Practical application

Once you have learned the method, you can take up investing and trading as a career. Economic and market movements follow cycles that can be caught with the trilogy, combined with a strict stop-loss set at the degree.

This can help you become free from the 9-to-5 job and its work pressure, and work in a relaxed, peaceful way from any part of the world, even from the mountains.
