Between 1929-2010
High at 381.17 on Sept 3 1929 Low at 55.66 at Apr.1, 1933.
A fall of 85% in 1308 days.
Numerologically 1929= 3. the number 3 is ruled by Jupiter. Jupiter, called also the great benefactor, does everything to the extremes, but it's touch sometimes can be extreme to the negative side.
Next time we'll have a year ruled by Jupiter is 2010….
I do not dare calculate how low is 85% from the top of 2007....
But every 9 years we have a year ruled by Jupiter, what happened in 1929 that brought the disaster in the markets? other planets had their effect too! Obviously it was not something that just bang!!! and arrived!
This is what wikipedia has to say about: ( the fundamental explanation to small creatures like us of the big events in the sky )
The Wall Street Crash of 1929, also known as the Crash of ’29 or the Great Crash, was the most devastating stock market crash in American History, along with Black Tuesday (October 28 and 29, 1929) that precipitated widespread panic and the onset of unprecedented and long-lasting consequences for the United States. The collapse continued for a month.
Economists and historians disagree as to what role the crash played in subsequent economic, social, and political events.
The crash in America came near the beginning of the Great Depression, a period of economic decline
in the industrialized nations, and led to the institution of landmark financial reforms and new trading regulations.
At the time of the crash, New York City had grown to be a major metropolis, and its Wall Street district was one of the world's leading financial centers. The New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) was the largest stock market in the world.
Richard M. Salsman wrote that on October 29—amid rumors that U.S. President Herbert Hoover would
not veto the pending Hawley-Smoot Tariff bill—stock prices crashed even further. William C. Durant joined
with members of the Rockefeller family and other financial giants to buy large quantities of stocks in order
to demonstrate to the public their confidence in the market, but their efforts failed to stop the slide. The DJIA lost another 12% that day. The ticker did not stop running until about 7:45 that evening. The market lost $14 billionin value that day, bringing the loss forthe week to $30 billion, ten times more than the annual budget of the federal government, far more than the U.S. had spent in all of World War I
An interim bottom occurred on November 13, with the Dow closing at 198.6 that day. The market recovered
for several months from that point, with the Dow reaching a secondary peak at 294.0 in April 1930. The market embarked on a steady slide in April 1931 that did not end until 1932 when the Dow closed at 41.22 on
July 8, concluding a shattering 89% decline from the peak. This was the lowest the stock market had been since the 19thcentury
The Roaring Twenties was a time of prosperity and excess in the city, and despite warnings against speculation many believed that the market could sustain high price levels. Shortly before the crash, Irving Fisher famously proclaimed,
"Stock prices have reached what looks like a permanently high plateau." The euphoria and financial gains of the great bull market were shattered on Black Thursday, when share prices on the NYSE collapsed.
Stock prices fell on that day and they continued to fall, at an unprecedented rate for a full month.
In the days leading up to Black Thursday, the market was severely unstable. Periods of selling and high
volumes of trading were interspersed with brief periods of rising prices and recovery. Economist and author
Jude Wanniski later correlated these swings with the prospects for passage of the Smoot-Hawley Tariff Act,
which was then being debated in Congress. After the crash, the Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA)
recovered early in 1930, only to reverse again, reaching a low point of the great bear market in 1932.
The Dow did not return to pre-1929 levels until late 1954 and was lower at its July 8, 1932 level than it
had been since the 1800s.
Since I am astar-gazer, I had to check the maps with the transits then and now. Are there similarities?
But first, take a look at the date of first trade of the Dow: 3 July 1884(adding up the numbers)is a 4 and the number 4 is ruled by Uranus.
In 1929, transiting Uranus made a 150-degree angle to Uranus in the directed chart.
Year 1884= is a number 3 year, ruled by Jupiter
In 1929 natal Jupiter was squared by directed Uranus, and trine by transiting Uranus.(green line )
Jupiter in transit also squared natal Mars.(red line)
The month of the first trade was July, and July (7) is ruled by Neptune. Where was Neptune in October '29? It made 30 degrees to natal Jupiter, and directed Jupiter trine natal Neptune. Sometimes trines show a top, from where the only way is down… (black lines )
July 8 1932 !!! add this number ! we get again 3 ( 7+8+1+9+3+2=30) again JUPITER is on stage BIG TIME!!
The last bottom:
Note that there are 30 degrees between Jupiter and Pluto on that day, which marked a bottom in 1932. The next time Jupiter will make 30 degrees to Pluto will be on January 18, 2009.( date which again will give a 3=Jupiter)
There are many more aspects to follow, but I think these 3 planets ( Uranus, Jupiter, Neptune) can show us the ups and downs of this index, based on the first trade chart.
Now we know that the bottom was reached in April 1, 1933 when transiting Jupiter conjuncted natal Mars, transiting Neptune 30 deg. from natal Jupiter, transiting Uranus 30 deg. from natal Neptune, directed Uranus trine natal Sun.
Look how little the outer planets moved, but what an effect !
Adding up the numbers : April 1, 1933= 3 Jupiter
Was it the square of Jupiter to natal Mars that moved the market 85% down?
Today
The graph below is a weekly graph, and we can see that every 1120 calendar days there is a change in trend. The next turning point, after Jan 2009, by this count should be December 2010.
