A Real-Time Case Study of Gann's Astro-Based Price-Degree Method

In the fast-paced world of trading, timing is everything. While most traders rely on indicators and chart patterns, a growing number are turning to time-tested, astrological methods pioneered by W.D. Gann. One such approach is the use of price-to-degree conversion and Ascendant alignment—a technique that doesn’t just react to the market but predicts its moves with uncanny accuracy.

In this post, we’ll walk through a real-life application of this method, showcasing how a specific swing low and planetary alignment set the stage for a textbook reversal—long before traditional indicators caught up.

The Setup: April 1st, 2025 – A Swing Low

At exactly 10:20 AM on April 1st, 2025, a clear swing low formed on the 5-minute chart at a price of 19081. This wasn’t just any low, it marked a point of energetic significance.

Using the price-to-degree method, we convert the price into astrological degrees. This is done by subtracting 360 repeatedly until the value falls below 360. In this case:

19081 → 1°

This result, 1 degree, is not just mathematically clean—it’s symbolically powerful. In astrological terms, the beginning of any zodiac cycle starts at 0–1°, making this a prime candidate for a significant market reaction.

Squaring the Price Degree with the Ascendant

With our “price degree” established at 1°, the next step is to monitor the Ascendant—the point on the zodiac rising on the eastern horizon at a specific moment in time. The idea is to identify when the Ascendant once again aligns with the price degree.

To make this process precise and efficient, I used my custom Gann Astro Intraday Software, designed to forecast such planetary alignments in real time.

According to the software, the next major alignment would occur on:

April 2nd, 2025, at 5:15 AM (New York Time)

At this exact time, the Ascendant was poised to cross 1°, creating a powerful energetic echo of the original swing low.

The Reaction: Watching the Market Respond

Instead of jumping into a trade blindly, I waited and watched. The true magic of this method lies not in haste, but in the patient observation of market behavior at forecasted time points.

As the clock struck 5:15 AM on April 2nd, the market started reacting almost instantly:

• Prices began printing lower lows

• Momentum shifted

• Weakness set in

• Sell-side liquidity was taken out

This was not a random move. It was a vibrational response—a subtle, yet powerful reaction to the alignment between price degree and Ascendant degree. Time and price had echoed back to their origin point, triggering a reversal with near-perfect timing.

Why This Matters: Forecasting, Not Guessing

This example is more than just a technical showcase—it’s a testament to the power of Gann’s astro-based intraday techniques. By combining:

• Accurate price-to-degree conversions

• Real-time Ascendant tracking

• Planetary cycle mapping

• And precision software tools

...you move from reactive trading to forecast-based execution.

It’s this fusion of geometry, vibration, and astrology that transforms a simple chart setup into a high-probability forecast.

Final Thoughts: Trading at the Intersection of Time and Space

Many traders spend years searching for that elusive “edge.” Gann's work teaches us that sometimes, the answers lie beyond traditional charts—in the movements of the cosmos, the rhythm of degrees, and the invisible clockwork of planetary motion.

This April 1st–2nd case study is just one example of how powerful these methods can be when properly applied. When time, price, and planetary geometry align, the market speaks—and if you’re tuned in, you can hear it loud and clear.

So next time you're analyzing a chart, ask yourself: Am I just reading the past, or am I forecasting the future?
