Description
Many market analysts and financial media commentators think daily news, quarterly earnings reports and corporate events drive stock prices.
I disagree.
There is something else that drives the financial markets. I have two opinions on what this something else might be.
The first opinion is that the financial markets are a reflection of the mass psychological emotion of traders, investors and fund managers. The term reflection may even be too mild of a descriptor. It may be more accurate to boldly state that human emotion drives buying and selling decisions in the financial markets. When market participants are feeling positive, they are driven to buy. When they are feeling uncertain or negative, they are driven to sell.
Probing this idea deeper immediately yields the complex question – what drives human emotion?
Medical researchers still have not definitively answered this question. Some say changes in blood alkalinity or acidity impact our emotions. Some say changes in chemical hormones in the bloodstream are the cause. My humble opinion on this complex matter is that the ever-changing configurations of orbiting planets and other celestial bodies in our cosmos influence our body chemistry and thereby drive human emotion.
This opinion has been shaped by the many Astrology publications I have read over the past several years including Tony Waterfall’s insightful article from the Spring 2014 NCGR Research Journal. In his article Waterfall reminds readers that the Sun is the centre of our planetary system. The Sun emits massive amounts of solar radiation in all directions into the vastness of space. This radiation is called solar wind. This solar wind interacts with the magnetic fields around Mercury, Venus, Moon, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto. These planets accept and then disburse the solar wind radiation. As the radiation is disbursed, a goodly amount of it finds its way towards the magnetic field around planet Earth. Changes in the density and speed of solar wind mean that the amount of radiation reaching Earth’s magnetic field on a daily, weekly or monthly basis will be ever-changing. As a result, the intensity or flux of the Earth’s magnetic field is also constantly changing. The alignment of the orbiting planets at any given time in our cosmos plays a key role in determining how much solar radiation is deflected towards Earth’s magnetic field. A simplistic way of viewing this entire arrangement is to think of a billiards table as the cosmos. The various balls on the table are the planets and other celestial bodies. The solar radiation is the white cue ball bouncing and deflecting off other balls on the table. The human body through our tissues. Hence, basic physics demands that changes to the Earth’s magnetic field will then induce subtle changes to our bodily electric circuitry. These subtle changes, in my opinion, are what drive our emotional responses. But there is so much more to be understood. Scientists and psychologists who are on a quest to learn more have come to call the developing science of how the cosmos affects humans cosmobiology.
