Richard Scott

Trading with the Astronomical Market Barometer

About the author

At the Institute of Cosmological Economics, we constantly look for new and individual research and applications in the field of Astro-Economics to better establish the relationship between celestial phenomena and financial market activity. Richard Scott’s research introduces an alternative approach astro-economic theory reading celestial influences as energetic influences that are quantified and their outcomes projected into the future.

Biography

Early Years

Richard Scott was born in Falkirk, Scotland, the seventh of ten children in his family. At the age of six his family immigrated to Australia and he has lived there ever since.  It wasn't until later in life that his interests turned to the world of the markets. His father-in-law had traded very successfully for many years, and around the year 2000 Scott began to take a serious interest in the field.

In the nascent stages of his trading education he came across an article online that attributed causal link between a stock's price movement and the retrograde motion of Mercury. This interest blossomed over time and his wife's guidance as a qualified Astrologer proved to play a pivotal role in influencing Richard's method of understanding financial astrology.

The Intuitive Autodidact

One of the most interesting aspects of Scott’s development into a successful Financial Astrologer was his determination to find his own way into the process of relating celestial motion to the movements of the markets. While the majority of traders and researchers in this field follow the canon of knowledge provided by the greats like W. D. Gann and George Bayer, Scott willingly embraced his own intuitive processes of understanding from the very beginning. Interestingly, as his skills in this area developed further, he became increasingly adamant to maintain his self-reliance by methodically testing out his own theses for efficacy and profitability. This determination to maintain a sense of educational sovereignty has provided him with a life of trading successes.

A Methodical Study of Celestial Causality

Scott's practice is grounded in a methodical study of celestial causality. The essence of his process is merely to observe something interesting occur in the markets and engage in a study of what the celestial influences were at the time. While this process may appear as simplistic by today’s technological standards, it is the manner in which he applied this method that has provided him with an almost encyclopedic and highly intuitive understanding of how these manifold celestial relationships influence market patterns.   

Scott’s 7-Metre Wide Master Chart

Over a period of 8 years, Scott painstakingly created an enormous visual reference that served as his primary source for study. Scott printed out 40 years of The Dow Jones Industrial Averages one-day bar charts and conjoined them into a 7 metre wide master chart. Underneath these one-day bar charts he fixed hand drawn charts which declared retrograde planetary motion, major transits and planets entering new houses for the planets Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto on a weekly basis. Beneath these weekly charts he placed an additional layer of hand drawn daily chart information outlining the same celestial movements for the planets Mars, Mercury, Venus and the Sun and Moon.

The generation of this bespoke information matrix was, needless to say, a long and painstaking process, as attention to minute details was of critical importance. The commensurate reward for this determined effort was that very soon after commencing this project, Scott began to perceive interesting and profitable patterns emerging amongst the various influences.

Convinced that his hard work was providing rewards, he decided to further test his emerging theories by applying them to 100 years of the DJIA. The result of this labor provided him with a huge body of evidence indicating that all of the celestial changes in motion, transits and movements into different houses have predictable and profitable influence upon the markets.

The Creation of a Compendium

With his hard earned insights in-hand, Scott began to reap the profit rewards from his years of study. After developing a strong relationship with the people at Market Analyst, he was introduced by them to the Institute of Cosmological Economics as an avenue to share his insights with a larger audience. The explanation of 8 years of findings and their supporting evidence is the subject of this first ICE book: A Compendium of Astro-Economic Influences - Practically Applied.

The "Great Art" of His Process

Within this book Scott clearly explains "the great art” of his process which is how to determine the proper summation of the underlying celestial energies. Scott methodically explains his method of how to weigh these different influences based upon his 8 years of comparative analysis and insights. These influences have been rigorously catalogued in detailed tables showing the results of each influence, tabulating the percentage gains and losses of the market in response, establishing the clarity of his technique through an overwhelming consistency of data referencing over 100 years of market history.

It is to be noted that while the notion of such an encyclopedic array of data may sound daunting, the transition from digesting the information to applying the insights is surprisingly simple. No long calculation tables or complicated software is required, the reader just needs to understand the few reference lists of weighted planetary influences, and an ephemeris, and they will quickly be plotting the same anticipated energies in the coming market as Scott himself would.
