What is an Ephemeris?

Ephemerides are tables that indicate the exact position of celestial bodies for every day of the year. For a trader, they are as fundamental as an economic calendar.

Symbols and Coordinates

Learning to read the planet symbols (e.g., ☉ for the Sun, ☽ for the Moon) and zodiac signs is the first step. Each planet is located at a certain degree of a sign, and that’s where “aspects” (angles) with other planets occur.

Identifying Aspects

A “conjunction” (0°) is a union of energies, while a “trine” (120°) is a harmonious flow. Learning to spot these moments on the ephemeris allows you to anticipate days of market expansion or contraction.

Practical Exercise

Take the current month’s ephemeris and mark the days when the Moon changes signs. Compare these days with the Bitcoin chart: you will often notice a change in the “rhythm” of the candles.

Conclusion

Reading an ephemeris is like reading the weather: it tells you whether to bring an umbrella or enjoy the sun on the market.
