Trump’s April 7 Threat Proves Hollow!
(This post originally appeared on this website on April 7, 2026)
OMG! An entire civilization is going to be wiped out at 8 pm Eastern Time on April 7 !!!!
While the media was in full panic mode and quite unsure what to do, say, or think – I remained calm. The heliocentric zodiac wheel was telling me that cooler heads would prevail. In the 2026 Financial Astrology Almanac, I introduce the reader to the Torque Index which calculates the cosine of the degree angle between each of the following two planets: Mercury, Venus, Earth, Jupiter, and Saturn.
If the Torque Index calculates to be a robust number (many angles between the various planets), then the reasoning says that human emotion will be agitated and the markets will be volatile. If the Torque Index calculates to be a small number (only a couple planets making aspect with each other), the markets will be calm and human emotion will remain steady.
As the deadline towards the annihilation of Iran inched closer, I could not help but notice the following setup in the heliocentric zodiac:
In the Torque Index calculations, Mars is never included. It is a small planet and relatively far removed from the Sun. Venus and Earth in the above wheel are at a 120-degree angle. The cosine of 120 is 0.5 (in absolute value terms), That’s it…that’s all.
With the Torque Index at such a small value, I knew that the 8pm deadline would not be an issue. And sure enough – with minutes to go before market close, the headline rolled across the screen: negotiators in Pakistan were promoting an extra window of time for a deal to be made with Iran. The market quickly responded and green began to appear on the screen.
Between now and April 15, the Venus-Earth 120-degree aspect will remain in force. Along the way, there will be some 90-degree aspects made. However, the cosine of 90 is “0”. Therefore – no effect on emotion or the markets.
On April 15, the following heliocentric wheel shows what to expect: a 180-degree aspect between Mercury and Jupiter. The cosine of 180 is 1.0 in absolute value terms. The 120-degree Venus-Earth aspect is still there with its cosine value of 0.5. The 90-degree aspects in the wheel will produce cosine values of “0”. Therefore come April 15, the Torque Index will jump to 1.5. This may well be enough to unsettle human emption and the markets. Watch carefully….
For many years, I used to think that financial astrology was all about geocentric aspects between all of the planets. I also used to watch the Moon traveling around the zodiac in the context of the McWhirter method. But in mid-2025 I had an epiphany of sorts when I discovered the work of academics Scafetta, Tattersall, Willson, and colleagues. Their heliocentric approach and their Torque Index is powerful. When I combine their work with my cycles calculations, I have to conclude that heliocentric planetary studies are the only way to study the financial markets.
What Has Happened Since
April 15 ignited a fire under investor emotion and sent the S&P 500 surging higher.
