The mundane timeline of a month मेदिनी ज्योतिष

Pick any month. Horā computes, from that month's real sky, the mundane conditions that were in force across it — and prints beside each one what the record holds for the past periods in which the same condition held. Counts, with their sample sizes, against a disclosed baseline.

Every number on this page is about something that has already happened. This page does not say that anything is going to happen. Horā issues no forecasts about wars, disasters or markets, and a condition being in force in a month says nothing whatever about that month.

December 1988

The record holds no event inside this month

December 1988 lies inside the tested period, but no event of this curated set is dated inside it. That is the ordinary case: the chosen events fall in 118 of the 1,512 months of 1900–2025.

An empty list means the record is silent about this month — not that the month was quiet. What happened in the world that month and what entered this small, curated set are not the same thing.

This month's sky, day by day

Each band shows the days of the month on which that condition held. Days are read at 12:00 UTC. The bands carry no favourable or adverse colour, deliberately: events falling more often inside a window is not good news.

Days of the month
Tested condition

Budha retrograde or combust

1–22 December 1988

In force on 22 of the month's 31 days.

What already happened while this same condition held — counted across the whole record:

SeriesOn event daysAcross all sampled daysReading
market events 22 / 45 (48.9%) 43.9% / 46,021 near the baseline — no signal

Tested against: market events. Categories this condition was not tested against are left out rather than shown as a zero; that restriction is this platform's stated configuration, not a statement of the texts.

Classical basis. The price (argha) and motion chapters of the Bṛhat Saṁhitā link anomalous motion of the significator of trade to disturbance in prices. Retrogression and a 12° combustion orb are Horā’s stated operationalisation.

Tested condition

Graha-yuddha — two tārā-grahas within 1°

16–17 December 1988

In force on 2 of the month's 31 days.

What already happened while this same condition held — counted across the whole record:

SeriesOn event daysAcross all sampled daysReading
geophysical events 5 / 46 (10.9%) 8.0% / 46,021 above the baseline — at the 5-hit display floor
political events 3 / 44 (6.8%) 8.0% / 46,021 too few to read
market events 6 / 45 (13.3%) 8.0% / 46,021 above the baseline

Tested against: geophysical events, political events, market events. Categories this condition was not tested against are left out rather than shown as a zero; that restriction is this platform's stated configuration, not a statement of the texts.

Classical basis. Bṛhat Saṁhitā, the graha-yuddha chapter: a war between planets is said to distress nations, and the people of the defeated planet to suffer.

What the record holds for this month itself

These are the events in the curated set whose date falls inside this month, with the conditions that held at each event's own recorded moment. It is a record, not a cause: nothing below says that a planetary configuration made any of it happen.

The record holds no event dated inside this month.

What this page stands on

  • The events135 dated events across three categories. 5 of them pre-date 1900: they are counted in the sample sizes beside every condition, but the eclipse catalogue begins in 1900, so for the two eclipse-window conditions those 5 can never register as hits — they widen the sample and can never raise the count. They also fall outside the months this selector can open.
  • The months118 of the 1,512 months of 1900–2025 hold at least one recorded event. For the rest, the record is silent.
  • The eclipsesThis month's eclipses come from the same catalogue the correlation arithmetic ran on, so this page and the evidence page cannot disagree about a past month.
  • The daysEvery day is read at 12:00 UTC. Events are tested at their recorded time where the record has one and at 12:00 UTC where it does not — so a band edge and an event can differ by a few hours.

Months the record holds more than one event in

These are not recommended months — they are simply the months in which more than one event of this curated set falls. The figure in brackets is how many.

How this timeline is built

  • The conditions are the same sevenThese are the seven conditions of the same tested set the whole record was measured against. No new condition has been added here, and no new rule invented.
  • The counts come from the same tableEvery count on a row is read out of the engine's own table — the one the evidence page prints — rather than recomputed. The two pages therefore cannot disagree about a row.
  • Windows and orbs are stated conventionsThe texts say effects follow an eclipse; they do not say fourteen days. Every window and every orb is this platform's decision, and it is printed with the row it belongs to.
  • Fewer than five hits means no directionA row with fewer than 5 events inside the window is reported as too few to read rather than as above or below. That floor is this platform's display convention, not a classical or statistical standard.

What this page will never do

The fence the geo-political record carries applies here unchanged, with two lines added for what a month view makes newly tempting.

  • No forecast of any index, price, currency or commodity, on any horizon
  • No buy, sell, hold or timing suggestion, direct or implied
  • No claim that a planetary configuration caused, or will cause, anything
  • No “favourable period for investment”, and no auspicious dates for a trade
  • No personalised financial, political or legal advice — Horā is not a licensed adviser and will not act like one
  • No month called good or bad for anything, and no band turned into a reason for caution or for confidence
  • No world event attached to any living person's chart

What this page offers is historical correspondence, counted after the event, with its limitations stated. Correspondence is not causation, a curated set of famous events is not a sample of history, and none of it is a basis for a financial, political or personal decision. Treat any service that turns a planetary configuration into a trade or a warning with the suspicion it deserves.

What this timeline cannot tell you

  • A month's bands and the record's counts are not the same thing.The bands describe this month's sky. The counts belong to the whole record. Printing them on one row does not mean one follows from the other.
  • The events were chosen, not sampled.No event entered the set because the sky was interesting, but many real events never entered it because they never became famous. That is selection bias, and it cannot be argued away.
  • Every category holds fewer than fifty events.One event moving in or out of a window shifts a ratio visibly. That is why counts are printed here rather than percentages.
  • Correspondence is not causation.Even a row above the baseline would show only that events and a condition co-occurred more often than the all-days baseline rate, on this particular set.
  • Most rows found nothing.That is the honest headline, and those rows are here at full size.
  • Nothing here is a forecast.This page reports what already happened. A condition being in force in a month says nothing whatever about that month.

Every number on this page is about something that has already happened. This page does not say that anything is going to happen. Horā issues no forecasts about wars, disasters or markets, and a condition being in force in a month says nothing whatever about that month.
