“Most Gann aficionados know that Gann used astrology and that probably the most profitable merchants use it of their buying and selling, as it’s the hidden undercurrent that runs the markets. J.P. Morgan, the founding father of the Morgan financial institution, was fond of claiming that “anybody generally is a millionaire, however to turn into a billionaire, you want an astrologer.” He had a non-public astrologer, Evageline Adams, who helped him tremendously. I’ve been lucky to buy monetary astrological books from her library.
It’s a little identified undeniable fact that W. D. Gann went to India and studied Indian Sidereal Astrology. In his notebooks we discover sketches of astrological symbols on his charts; and in his memoirs, he discusses his journey to India. Actually, the well-known Gann wheel was first utilized by tea retailers in seventeenth century India. Gann additionally mentioned the significance of utilizing the beginning date of when the primary futures contract for a commodity started buying and selling for predicting the way forward for that commodity. To my information, there are only a few people who use these beginning dates to efficiently time the markets although my expertise in utilizing Indian Sidereal astrology has proven that these charts are invaluable.
Beneath is a short introduction to Indian Sidereal Astrology, an summary of Indian time cycles and the way they can be utilized, and a forecast by means of 2017 for the U.S. inventory market based mostly on this method.
The Western Zodiac vs. the Indian Zodiac
Indian astrology is over 5000 years previous and has its basis in historic science. Parashara, a terrific seer or historic scientist, intuited the legal guidelines of house and time chargeable for the evolution of human consciousness and recorded his findings in a e-book referred to as the Brihat Hora Sastra.
The primary main distinction between Indian and Western astrology lies within the calculation of the longitude of the planets. Historic Indian astrologers noticed that the equinoxes and solstices moved backward by one diploma each 72 years, an astronomical phenomenon now often known as precession. Over time this has resulted in a distinction of barely over 23 levels between the tropical Zodiac, utilized by Western astrologers, and the sidereal Zodiac, utilized by Indian astrologers. In essence, the 2 methods differ of their alternative of a zero level for Aries–the Western system makes use of the place of the spring equinox, whereas the Indian system makes use of a hard and fast star. Thus when the Solar is shifting into Aries in line with the Western system, it’s nonetheless at 6 levels Pisces within the Indian system. (For an additional dialogue of the variations, please see my article within the Winter 1989 NCGR Journal.)
Planetary Durations: Past Transits
A dasha is a time frame throughout which one’s life is influenced or ruled by a specific planet. For instance, the shortest interval, the Solar interval, lasts six years, whereas the longest interval, Venus, lasts twenty years. These cycles unfold in a hard and fast sequence and comprise 120 years earlier than they repeat. The order of the cycles is:
Ketu (Moon’s South Node): 7 years
Venus: 20 years
Solar: 6 years
Moon: 10 years
Mars: 7 years
Rahu: (North Node) 18 years
Jupiter: 16 years
Saturn: 19 years
Mercury: 17 years.
The place the cycle begins relies on the precise place of the moon on the time of beginning. For instance, when soybeans began buying and selling in 1936, the moon was within the constellation (nakshatra) of Orion, which is dominated by the planet Mars. Thus a sequential unfoldment of cycles started with a seven years Mars interval adopted by Rahu (North Node of Moon), 18 years, Jupiter 16 years, into its present Saturn interval that lasts 20 years and many others. If beans had begun buying and selling a day later, then the cycle would have begun from the subsequent constellation, which is dominated by Rahu, or the North Node of the moon. The variety of levels the moon has transited by means of a nakshatra will decide how a lot time is left within the preliminary cycle. Thus if the moon have been within the last diploma of the constellation, the preliminary cycle will start within the final part of the cycle. (Software program is accessible for speedy laptop calculation of those cycles–see references under.)
Inside main cycles are sub-periods or sub-cycles that additionally unfold in a set sequential sample. The sub-cycle begins with planet ruling the main cycle after which continues in sequence. For instance, the present Saturn interval for shares began with a Saturn/Saturn interval in 1998, and continued with a Saturn/Mercury interval in August 2001 adopted by a Saturn/Ketu interval in 2004, and many others. The most important Saturn cycle will end in 2017 after which the U.S. inventory market will go right into a Mercury main interval. As a way to correctly use the Indian time cycles and their smaller intervals, one should have the precise time of the beginning of the primary future’s contract of a commodity. Every minute that one is off can result in altering the prediction low or excessive by about 4 days. O’Non and Remnick illustrate the significance of the precise time utilizing an analogy from physics:
To launch a rocket ship to the moon, information of the exact angle, time, and placement of the launching on earth are crucial. Whether it is launched at a barely totally different time and angle, it can miss by 30,000 to 40,000 miles.
I’ve needed to journey to the archives of the Chicago Board of Commerce and different main exchanges to confirm the primary tick beginning time and have collected an nearly full set of dates and instances that I make accessible to members in my superior seminars or by means of my dwelling examine course on Vedic Monetary Astrology (see references under). The problem is that a few of this knowledge could be very exhausting to get or was destroyed as was the case for wheat and corn knowledge as a result of Chicago fireplace and New York exchanges merging and never preserving good knowledge. It takes time to rectify the charts and make them helpful. The best technique to perceive the results of a interval is simply too take a look at previous examples. As a result of we have now 215 12 months of knowledge on the U.S. inventory market, and the whole unfoldment of a sequence of cycles is 120 years, we will return to the interval between 1878 and 1897 to check previous analogues.
Utility of the Indian Cycles to the US Inventory Market
What is very thrilling about utilizing dashas or Indian time cycles for market prediction is that it permits one to know the precise date that cycles change, to label them, and to quantify whether or not they’re robust ups, minor ups, robust downs, or sideways. If one research the 215 12 months historical past of the inventory market, and is conversant in the principles for predicting and deciphering the Indian dasha or time cycle system, the mysterious cycles which appear to manipulate shares would not be a thriller. For instance, by no accident the bull market that started in 1982 coincided with the start of a 16-year Jupiter interval, which started in late August. On the whole then, this method predicted the inventory market would proceed to develop till 1998, since Jupiter is a “”bullish”” planet and is effectively positioned within the natal chart of the Could 17, 1792 inventory market chart. Rises and falls throughout the main cycles are defined by sub-periods, or antardasas. These sub-periods can both amplify or diminish the energy of the main interval.
Inside this 16-year interval, the transits of Jupiter, its retrogradation and points to it are particularly influential since Jupiter assumes the second most vital position within the NYSE chart subsequent to the moon, the chart lord. The Jupiter interval led to 1998, when a 19-year Saturn interval assumed the second-most vital position.
A current examine I did of the NYSE will clarify how the dashas could be of use to identify short- time period and intermediate declines or rises. Sure combos result in very predictable outcomes. To get each day timing on the inventory market, one wants look at 4 or 5 ranges of dashas, or cycles, to interrupt the bigger 20- and 2-3-year intervals down into 20- and 3-4- day intervals. Amazingly, the cyclical combos which can be unfavourable on the bigger scale stage will typically show unfavourable on the smaller scale.
A comparability of the October-February 1987-88 fourth stage cycles (Jupiter/Mercury/Venus/Rahu and many others.) with the third stage intervals in 1901-1904 (Mercury/Venus/Rahu) reveals that the main lows coincide with a repetition of explicit combos. This precept may also be prolonged to sections of different cycles in different years. For instance, notice the next:
Venus/Rahu/Saturn: (8-28-29 to 2-17-30) Declined from excessive of 372.06 on 9-03-29 to a low of 230.07 on 10-29-29. Jupiter/Mercury/Venus/Rahu/Saturn (Dec 4, 1987). Signaled one other main low and decline to 1747 on the Dow after being as excessive as 2051 following the crash.
Jupiter/Mercury/Venus/Venus/Rahu (October 19, 1987) The third stage Venus interval did contribute to the path of the decline together with quite a lot of bearish oppositions, the return to an eclipsed constellation, and the sidereal transit of Uranus into Sagittarius. This one instance signifies how the Venus/Rahu mixture can be utilized to sign a pointy decline if it happens in a specific mixture.
This explicit Venus/Rahu mixture is just one of many combos that one can label, and traditionally examine. Different combos are bullish, resembling when the sequence unfolds from a Solar interval right into a Moon interval and onto a Mars interval. For instance, the inventory market’s final main Moon Interval went from August 1947-August 1957. Throughout that point the Dow went from 179.74 to 492.32, a achieve of over 200%. Throughout smaller moon cycles inside bigger intervals, such because the Mars/Moon interval from Jan 21, 1964 to August 21, 1964 the market climbed from 776 to 838. And within the Rahu/Moon interval from Jan 31, 1980 to July 31, 1981, the Dow climbed from 875 to 935. Even on the third stage we will often depend on a rally throughout a moon interval, such because the Jupiter/Mercury/Moon interval from April 4, 1988 to June 13, 1988. We noticed a shock rally that started in late Could and took the Dow from 2000 at the start of the interval to nearly 2200 by the tip of the interval.
From the above examples, one can see the worth of with the ability to label and quantify the cycles in an effort to predict the magnitude of the transfer. As many cycle analysts know, one can typically discover main cycle lows and entry level however nonetheless not have any concept how giant the transfer goes to be. The Indian time cycle evaluation is a real resolution to forecasting as a result of it will possibly predict the longer term, not simply counsel it from the previous.
Way forward for the US Inventory Market Based mostly on Indian Cycles into 2017
A 19-year lackluster Saturn interval in 1998-2017 doesn’t have the bullish vitality that we have now seen within the Jupiter Interval from 1982-1998. Consequently, the market won’t go straight up nor will it go straight down–and it seems that Venus intervals have the most important proportion losses. As we noticed within the 18 12 months Rahu interval from August 1964 to August 1982, the market can go web sideways in comparatively slim value bands over a few years.
There’s an approximate excessive into June 9, 2007 adopted by a pointy decline into the week of Oct. 22, 2007 with a decrease low due into concerning the third week of April 2008. We’re nonetheless watching patterns to translate this into value motion.
There seems to be a restoration rally into late Could 2010, then a pointy fall into Dec. 2010, a restoration towards the highs into Jan. 2013 and a serious decline into 2013 that is without doubt one of the lowest factors in the entire interval, a restoration into August 2015 after which a pointy fall into the tip of the interval, which makes new lows into April 2017. Therefore the intervals to be lengthy shares seem like Feb.-June 2007; April 2008 to Could 2010 and Dec. 2010 to Jan. 2013. We regulate these directional indicators utilizing Elliott Wave sample evaluation to foretell value. There seems sufficient upward momentum within the present cycle to take shares a lot greater into the June 2007 cycle excessive.
Gann reminded us that we have now to take every little thing we all know and apply it to our forecasts. Indian Time cycles are one instrument. In our e-newsletter, we mix it with Elliott wave sample evaluation, minor astrological timing from planetary points, and 5 different proprietary cyclical strategies in addition to technical evaluation.
Again in 1990 and 1994, when everybody was bearish about shares, we predicted DOW costs effectively over 7000 into 1998-2000 based mostly on our dasha cycle fashions.
Conclusion
Anybody trying to uncover the mysterious legal guidelines of nature that underlie the commodity and inventory markets can be rewarded and intrigued by the depths of Indian astrology. The examine of Indian astrology leads not solely to information of financial legal guidelines, however finally to information of the self. Understanding Indian cycles and transits is as vital for buying and selling efficiently as a very good timing system. A mix of the 2 is astoundingly helpful and results in a profound appreciation of the order of pure regulation. Whereas no astrological system must be used 100% to time market entries and exits, utilizing each astrological and technical alerts can actually stack the percentages in a single’s favor.”
