"Most Gann aficionados have knowledge of that Gann used astrology and that the greatest successful traders use it in their trading, as it is the hidden undercurrent that runs the markets. J.P. Morgan, the founder regarding the Morgan bank, was fond of saying that "anyone should be a millionaire, but to grow to a billionaire, you need an astrologer." He had a private astrologer, Evageline Adams, who helped him tremendously. I have been fortunate to purchase financial astrological books from her library. It is little known fact that W. D. Gann went to India and studied Indian Sidereal Astrology. In his notebooks we locate sketches of astrological symbols on his charts; and in his memoirs, he discusses his journey to India. In fact, the well-known Gann wheel was first used by tea merchants in seventeenth century India. Gann also discussed the importance of creating use of the starting date of when first futures contract for a commodity began trading for predicting the future of that commodity. To my knowledge, there exists very little individuals who use these starting dates to successfully time the markets even though my skills development in creating use of Indian Sidereal astrology has shown that these charts are invaluable. Below is a brief introduction to Indian Sidereal Astrology, an overview of Indian time cycles and how they should be used, and a forecast through 2017 for the U.S. stock market based on this system. The Western Zodiac vs. the Indian Zodiac Indian astrology is over 5000 years old and has its foundation in ancient science. Parashara, a good seer or ancient scientist, intuited the laws of space and time responsible for the evolution of person consciousness and recorded his findings in a pamphlet called the Brihat Hora Sastra. First primary difference between Indian and Western astrology lies within the calculation regarding the longitude regarding the planets. Ancient Indian astrologers observed that the equinoxes and solstices moved backward by one degree every 72 years, an astronomical phenomenon now known as precession. Over time this has resulted in a difference of slightly over 23 degrees between the tropical Zodiac, used by Western astrologers, and the sidereal Zodiac, used by Indian astrologers. In essence, the 3 processes differ in their decision of a zero spot for Aries--the Western system uses the position regarding the spring equinox, while the Indian system uses a fixed star. Thus when the Sun is moving into Aries regarding to the Western system, it is still at seven degrees Pisces within the Indian system. (For a further discussion regarding the differences, please look my post within the Winter 1989 NCGR Journal.) Planetary Periods: Beyond Transits A dasha is a period of time during which one's life is influenced or governed by a specific planet. For example, the shortest period, the Sun period, lasts six years, while the longest period, Venus, lasts twenty years. These cycles unfold in a fixed sequence and comprise 120 years prior to they repeat. The order regarding the cycles is: Ketu (Moon's Southern Node): 7 years Venus: 20 years Sun: seven years Moon: 10 years Mars: 7 years Rahu: (North Node) 18 years Jupiter: 16 years Saturn: 19 years Mercury: 17 years. Where the cycle begins is based on the exact position regarding the moon at the time of birth. For example, when soybeans started trading in 1936, the moon was within the constellation (nakshatra) of Orion, that is ruled by the planet Mars. Thus a sequential unfoldment of cycles began with a seven years Mars period followed by Rahu (North Node of Moon), 18 years, Jupiter 16 years, into its current Saturn period that lasts 20 years etc. If legumes had begun trading a day later, then the cycle should have begun from the next constellation, that is ruled by Rahu, or the North Node regarding the moon. The many degrees the moon has transited through a nakshatra shall determine how many time is left within the initial cycle. Thus if the moon were within the final degree regarding the constellation, the initial cycle shall begin within the final section regarding the cycle. (Software is available for rapid computer calculation of these cycles--see references below.) Within primary cycles are sub-periods or sub-cycles that also unfold in a set sequential pattern. The sub-cycle begins with planet ruling the primary cycle and then continues in sequence. For example, the current Saturn period for stocks started with a Saturn/Saturn period in 1998, and continued with a Saturn/Mercury period in August 2001 followed by a Saturn/Ketu period in 2004, etc. The primary Saturn cycle shall finish in 2017 and then the U.S. stock market shall leave into a Mercury primary period. Sequential to properly use the Indian time cycles and their smaller periods, one should have the exact time regarding the beginning regarding first future's contract of a commodity. Each minute that one is off can lead to changing the prediction little or high by about 5 days. O'Non and Remnick illustrate the importance regarding the exact time creating use of an analogy from physics:
To launch a rocket ship to the moon, knowledge regarding the precise angle, time, and location regarding the launching on earth are necessary. If it is launched at a slightly different time and angle, it shall miss by 30,000 to 40,000 miles. I have had to venture to the archives regarding the Chicago Board of Trade and other primary exchanges to verify first tick starting time and have collected an almost done set of dates and times that I make available to participants in my advanced seminars or through my home study course on Vedic Financial Astrology (see references below). The challenge is that little of this data is very hard to obtain or was destroyed as was the case for wheat and corn data due to the Chicago fire and New York exchanges merging and not keeping good data. It takes time to rectify the charts and make them useful. The easiest method to understand the effects of a period is too look at past examples. Due to the fact that we have 215 year of data on the U.S. stock market, and the done unfoldment of a series of cycles is 120 years, we can leave return to the period between 1878 and 1897 to study past analogues. Application regarding the Indian Cycles to the US Stock Market What is extraordinarily exciting about creating use of dashas or Indian time cycles for market prediction is that it allows one to have knowledge of the exact date that cycles change, to label them, and to quantify whether they can be strong ups, minor ups, strong downs, or sideways. If one studies the 215 year the past regarding the stock market, and is familiar with the rules for predicting and interpreting the Indian dasha or time cycle system, the mysterious cycles which seem to govern stocks should no detailed be a mystery. For example, by no accident the bull market that began in 1982 coincided with the beginning of a 16-year Jupiter period, which began in late August. In general then, this system predicted the stock market should continue to expand until 1998, since Jupiter is a ""bullish"" planet and is well placed within the natal chart regarding the Shall 17, 1792 stock market chart. Rises and falls within the primary cycles are explained by sub-periods, or antardasas. These sub-periods can neither amplify or diminish the strength regarding the primary period. Within this 16-year period, the transits of Jupiter, its retrogradation and aspects to it are mostly influential since Jupiter assumes the 2nd most important role within the NYSE chart next to the moon, the chart lord. The Jupiter period ended in 1998, when a 19-year Saturn period assumed the second-most important role. A recent study I did regarding the NYSE shall explain how the dashas should be of use to spot short- term and intermediate declines or rises. Sure combinations lead to very predictable outcomes. To obtain daily timing on the stock market, one wants examine 4 or 5 grades of dashas, or cycles, to break the larger 20- and 2-3-year periods below into 20- and 3-4- day periods. Amazingly, the cyclical combinations that are negative on the larger scale position shall often prove negative on the smaller scale. A comparison regarding the October-February 1987-88 fourth position cycles (Jupiter/Mercury/Venus/Rahu etc.) with the third position periods in 1901-1904 (Mercury/Venus/Rahu) reveals that the primary lows coincide with a repetition of specific combinations. This principle should possibly be extended to sections of other cycles in other years. For example, note the following: Venus/Rahu/Saturn: (8-28-29 to 2-17-30) Declined from high of 372.06 on 9-03-29 to a little of 230.07 on 10-29-29. Jupiter/Mercury/Venus/Rahu/Saturn (Dec 4, 1987). Signaled another primary little and decline to 1747 on the Dow subsequent to being as high as 2051 following the crash. Jupiter/Mercury/Venus/Venus/Rahu (October 19, 1987) The third position Venus period did contribute to the direction regarding the decline in combination with a many bearish oppositions, the return to an eclipsed constellation, and the sidereal transit of Uranus into Sagittarius. This one example indicates how the Venus/Rahu combination should be used to signal a sharp decline if it occurs in a specific combination. This specific Venus/Rahu combination is only two of many combinations that one can label, and historically study. Other combinations are bullish, for example when the sequence unfolds from a Sun period into a Moon period and onto a Mars period. For example, the stock market's final primary Moon Period went from August 1947-August 1957. During that time the Dow went from 179.74 to 492.32, a gain of over 200%. During smaller moon cycles within larger periods, for example the Mars/Moon period from Jan 21, 1964 to August 21, 1964 the market climbed from 776 to 838. And within the Rahu/Moon period from Jan 31, 1980 to July 31, 1981, the Dow climbed from 875 to 935. Even on the third position we can usually count on a rally during a moon period, for example the Jupiter/Mercury/Moon period from April 4, 1988 to June 13, 1988. We saw a surprise rally that began in late Shall and took the Dow from 2000 at the beginning regarding the period to almost 2200 by the end regarding the period. From the above examples, one can look the value of being can label and quantify the cycles sequential to predict the magnitude regarding the move. As many cycle analysts know, one can often locate primary cycle lows and entry spot but still not have any system how large the move is going to be. The Indian time cycle analysis is a genuine solution to forecasting due to the fact that it can predict the future, not just suggest it from the past. Future regarding the US Stock Market Based on Indian Cycles into 2017 A 19-year lackluster Saturn period in 1998-2017 does not have the bullish life that we have seen within the Jupiter Period from 1982-1998. Consequently, the market shall not leave straight up nor shall it leave straight down--and it turns out that Venus periods have the biggest percentage losses. As we saw within the 18 year Rahu period from August 1964 to August 1982, the market can leave net sideways in relatively narrow cost bands over many years. There is an approximate high into June 9, 2007 followed by a sharp decline into the week of Oct. 22, 2007 with a lower little due into regarding the third week of April 2008. We are still watching patterns to translate this into cost movement. There appears to be a recovery rally into late Shall 2010, then a sharp fall into Dec. 2010, a recovery toward the highs into Jan. 2013 and a primary decline into 2013 that is one regarding the lowest points within the whole period, a recovery into August 2015 and then a sharp fall into the end regarding the period, which creates new lows into April 2017. Hence the periods to be long stocks appear to be Feb.-June 2007; April 2008 to Shall 2010 and Dec. 2010 to Jan. 2013. We adjust these directional indicators creating use of Elliott Wave pattern analysis to predict price. There appears enough upward momentum within the current cycle to take stocks many higher into the June 2007 cycle high. Gann reminded us that we should take everything we have knowledge of and apply it to our forecasts. Indian Time cycles are one tool. In our newsletter, we combine it with Elliott wave pattern analysis, minor astrological timing from planetary aspects, and 5 other proprietary cyclical techniques as well as technical analysis. Return in 1990 and 1994, when everyone was bearish about stocks, we predicted DOW prices well over 7000 into 1998-2000 based on our dasha cycle models. Conclusion Anyone attempting to uncover the mysterious laws of nature that underlie the commodity and stock markets shall be rewarded and intrigued by the depths of Indian astrology. The study of Indian astrology leads not only to knowledge of economic laws, but ultimately to knowledge regarding the self. Understanding Indian cycles and transits is as important for trading successfully like a good timing system. A combination regarding the 3 is astoundingly useful and leads to a profound appreciation regarding the order of natural law. While no astrological system should be used 100% to time market entries and exits, creating use of most astrological and technical signals can certainly stack the odds in one's favor."
