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.
Tested condition
Within 14 days after an eclipse
1–7 February 1982
In force on 7 of the month's 28 days.
What already happened while this same condition held — counted across the whole record:
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 eclipse chapters: effects are said to follow an eclipse. The fourteen-day window is Horā’s stated convention, not the text’s number — the text gives no count of days.
Tested condition
Within 18 days either side of an eclipse
1–11 February 1982
In force on 11 of the month's 28 days.
What already happened while this same condition held — counted across the whole record:
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. Proximity to an eclipse season — the luminaries near the nodal axis. The eighteen-day span is Horā’s stated convention.
Tested condition
Maṅgala and Śani within 10° of conjunction or opposition
1–28 February 1982
In force on 28 of the month's 28 days.
What already happened while this same condition held — counted across the whole record:
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. Classical mundane doctrine: the mutual affliction of Maṅgala and Śani marks strife and scarcity. The 10° orb is Horā’s stated configuration; the texts describe, they do not measure in degrees.
Tested condition
Three or more of the five tārā-grahas retrograde
1–10 February 1982; 24–28 February 1982
In force on 15 of the month's 28 days.
What already happened while this same condition held — counted across the whole record:
Tested against: 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. The planetary-motion chapters of the Bṛhat Saṁhitā treat anomalous motion as a disturbance marker. The threshold of three is Horā’s stated configuration.
Tested condition
Budha retrograde or combust
1–12 February 1982
In force on 12 of the month's 28 days.
What already happened while this same condition held — counted across the whole record:
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.
Station
Śukra turns direct
11 February 1982
11 February 1982 — the change of direction is first seen at 12:00 UTC on this day.
Not tested by the record
None of the seven tested conditions is keyed to this event on its own, so the record offers no count for it. It is listed because it is a fact of this month's sky, and no number is attached to it.
Classical basis. A station is read from the change of sign of the body's speed, sampled at 12:00 UTC each day. No time finer than the day is computed.
Station
Budha turns direct
13 February 1982
