Crash Signatures

Economic turns are related to the Jupiter Saturn mutation cycle; usually the sub-cycle (lesser mutation) is involved. Saturn squares and opposition to its sub-cycle positions can mark important turns.

The 1929 crash occurred when Saturn squared its position in Virgo in the 1920 Sub-cycle, moreover this also occurred in 1989, Saturn squared its 1981 sub- cycle position, September 1989 The Nikkei. Began its long decline

Major changes and upheavals usually occur in Mutable Mutations, the middle sub-cycle. Mutable mutations have Cardinal Jupiter- Saturn oppositions.

The crash of 1929 occurred in the Mutable phase of the lesser mutation cycle; Jupiter was 15 degrees of Gemini. The market peaked that year on the 3^rd. September with Sun in Virgo and did not bottom until late November with the sun reaching Sagittarius.

 The 1987 crash occurred in the mutable phase of the 1960 lesser mutation cycle. In 1987 the market high was when the Sun entered Virgo. Saturn was in Sagittarius. On crash day Saturn was still in Sagittarius. The market did not pick up until the Sun, Mercury, Saturn were back in Sagittarius.

Another observation was the position of the Moon. On the day the market peeked in August the Moon was in Virgo, and was also in Virgo on the day of the crash. This occurred in the crash of 1929 the moon was in Virgo passing into Libra on the day of the crash, it was a Monday and the moon was passing through Virgo on a weekend.

 For market downturns Saturn does not need to be precisely square Jupiter or precisely opposite. The pressure can build up. The market is under a Saturn square for most of the year with the retrograde motion of the planets, becoming exact in December.
