Business astrology

Financial astrology (also known as business astrology, economic astrology, and/or astro-economics) is the practice of relating the movements of celestial bodies to events in financial markets. The use of astrology in financial markets is not consistent with standard economic or financial theory, but might be considered heterodox economics.

The practice of financial astrology carries the implicit belief that astrology is valid and influences human behavior. The scientific community considers astrology to be a pseudoscience.

Financial astrologers of note

Evangeline Adams In 1929 she predicted that the stock market would continue to rise in price. On Labor Day, September 2, she told a reporter for radio station WJZ that "the Dow Jones could climb to heaven." The next day the Dow Jones reached a record high that was not reached again until November 1954.
