OPEN-SOURCE SCRIPT
Updated Path of the Planets
🪐 Path of the Planets
Path of the Planets is an open-source Pine Script™ v6 indicator. It is inspired by W.D. Gann’s Path of Planets chart, specifically the Chart 5-9 artistic replica by Patrick Mikula "shown below". The script visualizes planetary positions so you can explore possible correlations with price. It overlays geocentric and heliocentric longitudes and declinations using the AstroLib library and includes an optional positions table that shows, at a glance, each body’s geocentric longitude, heliocentric longitude, and declination. This is an educational tool only and not trading advice.
Key Features
Start point: Choose a date and time to begin plotting so studies can align with market events.
Adjustments: Mirror longitudes and shift by 360° multiples to re-frame cycles.
Planets: Toggle geocentric and heliocentric longitudes and declinations for Sun, Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto. Moon declination is available.
Positions table: Optional color-coded table (bottom-right) with three columns labeled Geo, Helio, and Dec. Values show degrees with the zodiac sign for the longitudes and degrees for declinations.
Visualization: Solid lines for geocentric longitudes, circles for heliocentric longitudes, and columns for declinations. Includes a zero-declination reference line.
How It Works
Converts bar timestamps to Julian days via AstroLib.
Fetches positions with AstroLib types: geocentric (0), heliocentric (1), and declination (3).
Normalizes longitudes to the −180° to +180° range, applies optional mirroring and 360° shifts, and converts longitudes to zodiac sign labels for the table.
Plots and the table update only on and after the selected start time.
Usage Tips
Apply on daily or higher timeframes when studying broader cycles. For degrees, use the left scale.
Limitations at the moment: default latitude, longitude, and timezone are set to 0; aspects and retrogrades are not included; the focus is on raw paths.
