Classical Event Timing at Every Resolution: A Synthesis of Four Pre-Registered Studies of Daśā, Gochara, Aṣṭakavarga and the Moon — and the One Rung Still Untested
Vedic astrology makes a family of timing claims: that a person's life events arrive in the eras its daśā periods promise, that transits trigger those events within the era, that Aṣṭakavarga fortifies the reading, and — at the finest resolution — that the Moon's hourly movement against a birth chart marks the eventful…
Transits as Event Triggers: A Three-Stage Test of Classical Gochara Timing — Raw Transits, the Aṣṭakavarga Refinement, and the Moon-Degree Layer — on Certificate-Grade Lives
The classical answer to "when, within the era, does the event actually arrive" is gochara — the doctrine that Saturn, Jupiter, Rāhu and Ketu, transiting sign-wise from the natal Moon (and, in modern practice, degree-wise against natal points), supply the trigger that the daśā period promises. The daśā layer was the…
Birth-Time Rectification under the Classical Vedic Method: A 23-Subject Blinded Backtest, Failure Analysis, and What Falsification Left Standing
Rectification is the claim that an unknown or unreliable birth time can be recovered from a person's dated life events — and in its classical form it is a claim about daśā periods: that the years a planet rules should be the years its affairs arrive. That claim is testable. Take a person whose birth time is…
Personality and the Chart: A Blind Biography–Chart Matching Study Across Seven Language Models
If a person's character is written in the sky at the moment of birth, then a reader who knows nothing but that person's life story should be able to recognise their chart — and a reader who knows nothing but the chart should be able to recognise the life. That is the oldest and most testable claim in astrology, and…
The Moon, Tithi & Markets: A Mind–Matter Study of Lunar Phase in 44 Million Minutes of Global Market Data
Does the synodic lunar cycle leave a measurable trace in collective human decision-making? Markets are the most complete, machine-readable record of mass cognition we have — unaffected by any direct lunar physics, yet governed entirely by human decision. Behavioural finance already accepts that exogenous physiological…
