Square of Nine
Take a significant low point on a stock’s chart. Calculate the square root of that value after converting it to a 3 or 4 digit number. For example, suppose the low price was $3.00. Express that as 300 and the square root is 17.3, which can be rounded off to 17. From the low point on the chart, add a vertical line every 17 trading days (or have a software program do it for you).
Next take the square root of 300 and to that value add 2. Re-square the sum. Example, 300 root = 17.3. Add 2 gives 19.3. Squaring that value gives 372 or $3.72. Draw a horizontal line across the price chart at $3.72. Keep repeating this exercise and keep adding horizontal lines.
After some hard work, you will have something that looks like:
The above chart is that of Bloom Energy (NYSE:BE). Note the dark arrows on the chart. These are times when price action exactly hit a horizontal line. I did not add all the lines to this chart because I wanted to keep it clean looking. Of course, you have to also use things like MAC-D and a moving average to help with your decision making. But, the Square of Nine lines certainly add to one’s confidence. As for here and now, the MAC-D is hinting that it might wish to cross over negative. Meantime price is having trouble penetrating a horizontal line. A clear signal to be cautious.
This is exactly the type of material you will learn about through my Astrology Letter subscription. No subscriber is ever with me forever. Once people learn the basics of Astrology and learn how to apply it, they tend to move on and fly solo knowing that they now have some powerful astrology techniques to take their trading and investing to a new level.
Key Dates for Air BnB
In my 2021 Financial Astrology Almanac, I provide an explanation of how to use the Hebrew alefbet to arrive at four mathematically significant numbers. I apply these four numbers to stock charts starting from a major high or a major low price. I project forward and note the times when heliocentric Venus or heliocentric Mars advance through the same number of degrees as these significant four numbers.
Here is a table of date intervals using Dec 9, 2020 as a start point. I published this Table in one of my Astrology Letter publications.
This data is significant because on Dec 9, there was an IPO for c3ai (NYSE:AI), Air BnB (ABNB) and food delivery service Door Dash (DASH). Watch the above intervals to see if the dates align to increased volatility or perhaps even a short term trend change.
Rough Waters Ahead?
Astrology is suggesting the next few years could be volatile. Volatility creates excellent trading opportunities, for those that are comfortable trading in and out of stock positions. Here is a sampling of what might be headed our way:
As 2020 ends, Saturn is now in the sign of Aquarius. With Saturn in Aquarius (enters the sign once every 29 years), the USA is entering a period of reform (educational reform, rights and freedoms reform, prison reform, and so on…). You have been no doubt following societal events of late, so you can envision as well as I can areas that are ripe for reform. Reform can cause divisions between those in favor of the reform and those against it. Division will make headlines on CNN and Fox. News headlines can move markets.
Starting in March 2021, Neptune will transit 180 degrees opposite to the Neptune location in the 1776 USA natal chart. Thanks to its slow movement and thanks to retrograde it will take into 2023 for the 180-degree aspect to fully conclude itself. Neptune last made a 180-degree aspect to natal Neptune in the time immediately ahead of the onset of the US Civil War. Having Neptune making this 180-degree aspect again along with the activity of Saturn and Pluto surely does not bode well. The start of this Neptune transit will be heralded by Mars moving 0 degrees to the USA natal Uranus and then natal Mars.
At the January 20th Oath of Office swearing in ceremony, Mars will be conjunct the USA natal Uranus and square the Jupiter/Saturn pair. Another less than positive sign of things to come.
Moreover, Mars and Uranus will be conjunct and also on the Ascendant a mere 30 minutes before the swearing in occurs. Sun will be at the Mid-Heaven (of course it will…it’s Noon after all) and Pluto will be with 5 degrees of the Mid-Heaven. Author and astrologer Frank Clifford goes so far as to suggest this all to be a sign of social rebellion and economic turmoil to come.
In early 2022, Pluto will transit conjunct to the USA 1776 natal Pluto location. Probably not a fortuitous event.
As Saturn eventually moves into Pisces (early 2023), the USA will be utterly chaotic and the potential for a revolution will be visible. Some of the early seeds for a potential revolution have already been sown in 2020.
In 2023, Pluto will ingress into the sign of Aquarius. Pluto will take 20 years to work its way through Aquarius. The last time Pluto was in the reforming sign of Aquarius was in 1778 when revolutionary fervor was at a maximum. So, in two-years time we will have Pluto and Saturn together in Aquarius which will prove unsettling.
Is a Correction Coming?
The short answer to the question of a correction is YES!
Here is what the S&P 500 front month futures chart looks like as of now. The heavy black dashed trend lines extend from the 2007 highs and the 2009 lows. We are now outside this decade-old channel. Price action is up against a Uranus sub-Quantum Line. To determine these sub-QL levels, I divide the distance between QL’s according to the perfect 4th, perfect 5th and major 6th musical intervals. Venus will be at a declination minimum in early January 2021. Mid-January will see Sun and Saturn at conjunction. Evidence says… a correction looms. The fly in the ointment, however, continues to be the Federal Reserve. The FED is reportedly thinking about extending the bond duration of its purchases. By squelching the longer bond price signals through repetitive buying, the markets stand to become even more irrational. Add to this observation that fact that 2021 will be a Shmitah Year (see my 2021 Almanac for a discussion of Hebrew religion type cycles). All too often the year after a Shmitah Year can be worse that the Shmitah Year itself. In 2022, Saturn will spend a good deal of time 90 degrees square to Node. Uranus will draw nearer to a conjunction with Node. Definitely bad omens! Node in Taurus in 2021-2022 says the economy will be slowing. WE ARE HEADED FOR TROUBLE. NO DOUBT ABOUT IT.
Declination and the US Election
Having figured out Gann’s declination tool, out of curiosity I decided to apply declination to the upcoming Election. I took the natal birth time declinations for the USA (July 4, 1776), Donald Trump and Joe Biden. I then looked at what the declinations will be on Nov 3rd, election day.
Mr. Trump’s natal Sun and Venus declination are parallel to the USA 1776 Sun and Venus declination. When he says he loves America and wants to make it great again – he is not joking.
Uranus is a change-maker. Neptune is the planet of dreams. Biden and Trump have their natal Uranus declinations parallel to the USA 1776 value. They both want to change America, and that is no secret. Their natal Neptune declinations are opposite one another. They are two different people, that is for sure.
Election day will have expansive planet Jupiter contra-parallel to Biden’s natal Jupiter. Election day will have Uranus either parallel or contra parallel to each candidate’s natal Uranus. Same is true of Pluto. Same for Saturn.
This could be a closely contested election, unless Jupiter works in Biden’s favor and propels him over the top.
Declination – W.D. Gann’s powerful tool
I recently took the time to read Tunnel Through the Air, written by W.D. Gann in 1927. This book is part love story, part sci-fi novel and part war story. Through it all, Gann has embedded several clues as to where to find repetitive cycles that can assist one in trading. The story revolves around Robert Gordon, a farm lad from Texas who ends up making it big in New York. Gann lists several dates when young Robert traded Cotton futures. In order to decipher what Gann is telling you, it is critical to have a working knowledge of astrology. I soon enough figured out that Robert Gordon was looking to put on Cotton trades at times when a repetitive cycle was due. The repetitive cycle is planetary declination. The various planets revolve around the Sun following a plane of motion called the ‘ecliptic’ plane. Thanks to gravitational pull from the Sun, the various planets move above and below the ecliptic plane. Planets closer to Sun and thus more subject to Sun’s gravitational pull will wander above and below the ecliptic several times in a year. Slower moving, massive outer planets take longer to move above and below the ecliptic.
What I figured out from reading Gann’s book was that a trader should determine the declinations of the various planets at the first trade date. In the case of Cotton, I found the first trade date to be June 20, 1870. The declination data was obtained in my Solar Fire Gold software program. Alternatively, one could find this data on-line with a simple search.
Next I looked at a recent chart of Cotton. What I was looking for were definite highs and lows. I noted that in mid-January 2020, Cotton turned in a trend change that would see price fall 24 cents per pound. At this trend change, Saturn and Jupiter (two heavyweight planets) were parallel in declination to where they had been at Cotton’s first trade date. Mars was contra-parallel in declination. Moon had just made its maximum declination. The downward plunge in price came to an end at March 31, 2020 with Moon at maximum declination and Mars and Jupiter parallel to their first trade date declinations.
Note – if the first trade declination of ….say…Mars was +22 degrees, a parallel event would occur any time Mars passed through a declination level of +22 degrees. A contra-parallel event would occur when Mars passed through a declination level of – 22 degrees.
I have subsequently tested this technique on other commodities and some stocks too. I am absolutely stunned at how this technique works. And the most amazing thing – this technique is hidden in plain view. You just have to know where to look and what to look for.
Patterns Hidden in Plain Sight
We take it for granted that Greenwich, England is the 0 degree start point for longitudinal measurement. But, why Greenwich? Why not some location more profound, like the Great Pyramid of Egypt? Famed theosophist Madame H.P. Blavatsky said the Great Pyramid of Egypt should be the start point for longitudinal measure.
Taking the 0 degree start point for longitude to be the Pyramid, one can apply the principles of Right Ascension ( simple math…) to see that New York (and the NYSE) are at 15 of Sagittarius on the zodiac wheel. What has happened as Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Neptune, Pluto have transited over this 15 of Sagittarius point will astound you! And this is only going back to 1987 as far as my data feed allows.
More recently, the Covid 19 related market plunge in March 2020 was marked by a Mars passage over 15 Sagittarius!
So where do I find ideas such as this? The answer is I read a lot. In my travels I always seek out used book shops and look for old astrology texts. Sometimes I put these on my shelf and forget about them. Recently in a fated moment, a book tumbled off my shelf and landed on the floor of my office. It was a 1969 text written by Dane Rudhyar. Although Rudhyar was not a financial astrologer, his bit about the 0 degree longitude start point got me thinking and I did come back testing.
Certainly more evidence that the markets are responding to hidden patterns that are actually in plain sight (if you understand Astrology which 99% of people DO NOT). This prevailing lack of Astrology understanding gives the powers that be on Wall Street free reign to manipulate markets using hidden patterns. With each manipulated crisis, these players get cover by the mainstream media who dredge up flimsy statistics to justify the market crisis. Moreover, with each crisis, these players exact more and more control over a fearful Federal Reserve whose FOMC district governors vote to open the money spigots another turn to prevent collapse of the system. Where and when will all this end?
The Power of Quantum Lines
Many market traders like to employ visible charting techniques such as moving averages and stochastics to gauge buying and selling decisions on stocks, commodities and indices. But what if there was something less visible that only a select few knew about? What if this less visible technique was actually part of our world?
Stop 10 people on the street and ask them to explain how electrons around an atom move in different energy levels, called orbital shells. You would be lucky to find one person who could explain. Yet, open any Physics textbook and you can learn all about it. Now…what if the price of a stock or commodity behaved like an electron? What if there were quantum “energy” levels that stock prices adhered to? What if you could calculate these levels and overlay them on a stock chart? Would your trading and investing performance improve?
It turns out that each planet has a series of “energy” levels that can be overlaid onto a stock price chart. The following chart of Canadian gold miner Pretium Resources (TSX:PVG) illustrates…. In particular, take a look at the price high in 2019. The red line that predicted the extent of this high is related to Mars. A person respecting this quantum level was cautious as price approached this high mark. A more naive person likely would have bought more shares thinking the upward momentum would continue.
In my Astrology Letter publications, I provide subscribers with astrological insight into the financial markets. The insights I offer are not unusual. These same insights are used by the “big boys” at Goldman Sachs and JP Morgan. But, the “big boys” like to keep this info to themselves. Sharing it with you, the little person, is not even a consideration.

The Power of Declination
The various planets orbit around the Sun, which is the center of our Solar System. This concept is easily pictured in the mind. But, the planets do not orbit in a perfectly balanced motion. They tend to move up and down slightly in their orbital path. This up and down motion is called ‘declination’. Scientists have for a long time been able to mathematically model the annual expected declinations of the various planets. The software program Solar Fire Gold that I use comes equipped with declination plots. The following is a screenshot of the first part of the 2020 year:
I draw your attention to the red line and the blue line on the above plot. The red line is the declination of Mars; the blue line the declination of Venus. These two planets and their declinations are critical to financial markets. Take a close look at the red line again. Note that it made its low point (declination minimum) in mid-February, 2020. And….when did the markets seriously begin to decline in response to Covid 19? The timing connection between market events and declination is at times spooky! The next time interval I am looking for is early May when Venus makes its declination maximum. Moreover, this coming declination event is also closely aligned to a phenomenon called Venus retrograde which too is a powerful marker for trend changes across markets. Things are about to get very interesting….keep your eye on the markets.
Price Square Time
One technique that practitioners of financial Astrology use is that of ‘price square time’. Price and time are deemed to have squared when a measure of time equals (or is a whole number multiple of) a move in price. When the average person hears mention of time, the instinct is to look at a calendar to measure the time interval. Calendar based time is related to the Earth moving around the Sun over a 12 month period (365 days). So, who says we have to measure time based on Earth and Sun? What if we measured time based on the degrees of advancement of heliocentric Venus or heliocentric Mars?
In my April 13th Astrology Letter, I noted: If I look at the overall S&P 500 decline from Feb 20th to March 23 lows and take the close-close basis or the high-low basis, the price differential equates to 23 X or 24 X respectively the heliocentric move of Venus over the same time. Price and time appear to have squared.
In order for you to calculate price square time events, you will need a Heliocentric Ephemeris book of tables. You can find these Tables on-line with a quick on-line search, or you can talk to your local bookseller and have a copy purchased if you prefer a physical book.
