Many published papers have proved that dowsing is affected by some local
astronomical and physical forces. This paper details the effects on dowsing
measurements over a period of one year, due to the changes in vectors caused by the
spin of the earth (1) on its tilted axis, and (2) in its elliptical orbit around the sun.
Via the use of a standard yardstick, significant turning points in curves representing
measurements of length occur at equinoxes and solstices. Vector lengths affected by
the radial spin vector pointing towards the sun have maxima and minima at
equinoxes. This coincides with maximum vorticity in the radial vector as the earth's
plane of spin passes through the ecliptic plane. Lengths affected by the tangential
spin vector in the direction of the earth's orbit have a minimum during June and July.
This is expected as the earth is furthest from the sun at aphelion, and hence at
minimum vorticity. Solstices produce perturbations to the main curves.
