Gann Wheel

W.D. Gann wound the numbers into a spiral and read prices off the angles between them. This page draws that spiral with rings for degrees, the calendar and the zodiac around it, and adds a time bar: pick a stock, press Play, and the planets, the moon and the support and resistance levels move day by day.

What

What this page is

The centre is the Square of Nine: the numbers 1, 2, 3 … wound outwards in a square spiral. Numbers on the same line from the centre are a whole number of turns apart, and Gann treated those as prices that relate to each other.

Around it sit three rings: the protractor (degrees), the chronometer (the calendar) and the cosmogram (the zodiac, with the Sun, Moon and planets placed at their positions for the date).

The time bar across the top ties the wheel to a real stock or index. For each trading day it puts the close on the wheel and lists the levels above and below it: from the Square of Nine itself, and from each planet's position turned into a price.

Why

Why it helps you

If you trade
Days to weeks · you care about timing and the crowd.
  • The Square of 9 levels (R1–R6, S1–S6) are prices a quarter turn apart round the wheel. Many traders mark the first two each way as the day's likely turning areas.
  • Play a past period and watch which levels the price actually touched — they light up with a blue border. It is a quick way to see whether a stock respects these levels before you trust them.
  • Change Ladder ▸ Step ° to 45 for levels an eighth of a turn apart, when the quarter-turn levels are too far away for day trading.
If you invest
Months to years · you care about quality and price paid.
  • Step by 1 month at a high speed to see several years in a minute. Levels the price keeps coming back to over years matter more than any one day's.
  • The planet levels change slowly for the outer planets (Jupiter to Pluto). A price that keeps meeting the same slow planet level is worth writing down.
  • Gann methods are a way of marking levels, not a measure of a company's value. Use them beside your other reading, not instead of it.
When · Where

When to use it, and where to find it

  • Before the open, to mark the next day's levels from yesterday's close.
  • On a weekend, playing back the last few months of a stock you follow, to see which levels held.
  • Around a new moon or full moon, or when a planet changes sign — the moon strip and the zodiac ring show both.

Every part of the page

In the order you meet them on screen, each with a close-up of the real thing. The numbers match the dots on the figure above.

1

The time bar

One trading day at a time, for the stock or index named on the left. Each step moves the wheel's date, puts that day's close on the wheel, and lists the levels for that day.

How — Pick the stock or index in the search box at the top of the site. The bar loads its daily history — about ten years.

  • Prices are the prices that actually traded, not adjusted for bonus shares.

2

Play, pause and step

Play moves forward one step at a time on its own. The arrows beside it step once back or forward; ⏮ and ⏭ jump to the first and the newest session.

How — Click Play. Watch the planets turn round the zodiac ring and the levels change under the bar. Click Pause to stop on a day.

  • At the newest session Play stops by itself. Press it again to start over from the beginning.

5

Step and speed

Step is how far one move goes: 1 day, 1 week (5 sessions) or 1 month (21 sessions). Speed is how many steps Play makes each second.

How — Use 1 day at 1× to study each session. Use 1 month at 4× or 8× to watch a whole year go by in a few seconds.

Step and speed — on the live page
6

Follow close

When this is on, each day's close is written into Price ▸ Find on the left, so the wheel highlights it and moves its base square with the date.

How — Turn it off to keep your own Find price fixed while the date and the planets move.

Follow close — on the live page
7

Support and resistance for the day

The day's open, high, low and close, then two sets of levels worked out from the close.

How — Rest the mouse on any level to read how it was made. A level with a blue border is one the day's price range touched.

  • Square of 9: R1–R6 above and S1–S6 below, one rung every Step ° (90° by default) round the wheel.
  • Planets → price: each planet's sign and degree, then the price that far round the wheel above (red) and below (green) the close.
  • Planet positions are for 15:00 NPT on the day, from public formulas (Meeus, JPL), within about 0.1°.

Detail

Reading the numbers

  • Square of 9 level: take the square root of the close, round it to a whole number (the base square), then add or take away half a step per rung for every Step ° of turn, and square it again. With Step ° 90 each rung is a quarter turn round the wheel.
  • Planet level: the planet's longitude (0° = the start of Aries) used as the turn. The close's square root is moved by longitude ÷ 180 and squared again, giving one price above (red) and one below (green).
  • A level with a blue border was inside that day's high–low range: the price touched it.
  • Planet positions are for 15:00 NPT on the date — the close. They come from published formulas: Meeus for the Sun, Moon and lunar node, JPL (Standish) for Mercury to Pluto. Checked against Meeus's worked examples and known oppositions, they are within about 0.1°. ℞ marks a planet that is retrograde (moving backwards against the zodiac).
  • Signs are written short: Ari Tau Gem Can Leo Vir Lib Sco Sag Cap Aqu Pis. 7°32' Lib means 7 degrees 32 minutes into Libra.
  • Prices on the time bar are the ones that actually traded. They are not adjusted for bonus shares, so a level from years ago may sit far from today's price after a bonus.

Layout — the wheel, its numbers and the ladder

The first group in the left panel. It decides what is drawn in the centre and what its numbers mean.

The Layout group of the Gann Wheel settings
VisibleDraws the numbered cells. Show numbers (under Highlight) decides whether the numbers are printed.
ClockwiseDirection of the ring views. The Square of 9 spiral has one fixed direction, so this is greyed on it.

Protractor and Chronometer — degrees and the calendar

The two rings round the spiral that measure turn and time.

The Protractor and Chronometer groups
Protractor ▸ VisibleThe degree ring: a tick every 5°, a label every 30°. 0° is on the right and it counts anticlockwise.
Clockwise / AngleTurn the ring the other way, or rotate it. You can also drag the ring on the wheel to rotate it.
CounterShows the marker's angle as a number beside the ring.
Secondary scaleA second, finer tick ring inside the first.
Marker / Marker angleA pointer you can drag round the ring; its angle is shown and can be typed.
Chronometer ▸ VisibleThe calendar ring — months (or other bands) laid round the same 360°.
RangeWhat one full turn of the calendar ring covers — for example a year of months.
AnchorWhere the ring's 0° sits in the calendar.
Secondary scale / MarkerTicks at each band edge, and a draggable pointer. The pointer only reads; it does not change the date.

Cosmogram, Moon phases and Cycles — the sky

The zodiac ring with the planets on it, the moon strip above the wheel, and the cycle cards below it. All of them follow the date — the time bar's day, or the date set here.

The Cosmogram, Moon phases and Cycles groups
Cosmogram ▸ VisibleThe zodiac ring: the twelve signs, with the Sun, Moon, planets and the lunar node placed at their positions for the date.
Clockwise / AngleTurn or rotate the zodiac ring. Dragging it on the wheel rotates it too; the planets turn with it.
ZodiacTropical (the usual Western zodiac) or Sidereal. Sidereal still draws the tropical signs for now and says so.
Ayanamsa / SystemSettings for the sidereal zodiac and the frame; shown so the choice is visible, not in use yet.
LocationCity, latitude and longitude. Kept for later — the positions here do not need it, as a zodiac longitude is the same from anywhere on Earth to well under a degree.
Moon phases ▸ VisibleThe strip of five moon phases (new, first quarter, full, last quarter) around the date, with their times in your time zone.
Today / DateCast the page for today, or for the date picked in the calendar. Using the time bar switches Today off and sets this date for you.

Honest limits

What it does not do

  • Planet positions come from published formulas, not from Swiss Ephemeris. They are within about 0.1°, valid from 1800 to 2050. Chiron is not shown — the formulas used here have no data for it.
  • Sidereal zodiac still draws the tropical signs: the ayanamsa (the offset between the two) is not computed yet.
  • Eclipses are not computed. Their cells in the moon strip stay empty and say so.
  • Presets and drawings are kept in this browser only.
  • This page was built in SAT3 first. The time bar, planets and calendar pickers were added here in 006 on 2026-09-28, so SAT3's copy does not have them yet.
FAQ

Questions people ask

Why did the date in Moon phases change on its own?

The time bar sets it. Every step writes the day into the page's one date, so the planets, moon strip and calendar ring all show the same day. Tick Today to go back to today.

My Find price keeps changing.

Follow close is on in the time bar, so each day's close is written into Find. Turn Follow close off to keep your own price.

Why do planet levels look far from the price?

A planet's longitude can be up to 360°, a full turn or more round the wheel, so its level can be well above or below the close. Slow planets move their level slowly; the Moon's changes every day.
