For the data scientists- what would it take to prove that there is/isn't a statistically significant correlation (not causation) between Mercury retrograde and tech large scale events / SEV1's

Depends on how many cases of "large scale events" you have. You could calculate a simple correlation coefficient and even a p-value to loosely estimate causation, if you had enough data points.

As a noob in statistical analysis I'm wondering how would one calculate the correlation coefficient between two sets of dates (occurrences of something happening, in this example outages/SEV1s and days of Mercury retrograde)?
