The DJIA hit a low of 9783.91 on August 13 and has steadily rallied 500 points since then, in less than a month. As you can see, there was a very exact alignment of the four most important planets (Sun, Saturn, Jupiter and Chiron) on that day.  Also, there was a nearly exact synchronization of Uranus, the true node, Venus and the Mercury/Mars midpoint.  I will give you my experiences with the use of planetary alignments, and answer your questions about them.

Our theory is that the transits to the natal chart of the United States must have an effect on the stock market. One reason we believe this is that so many Americans now own stocks and the stock market is such an important part of the US economy.  At this time, about 47% of all Americans own some stocks in one way or another (for example through mutual funds as part of their IRA).  This means that when stocks make significant moves up or down, it has quite and impact on half of America – but the influence is actually even more widespread because the half of America that owns stocks also controls over 95% of the companies and employers in the US. 

So at this time, whether we like it or not, almost all Americans are pretty much affected by the stock market and it means the stock market actually has an influence on the whole country. If astrology really works and if the stock market has gotten so big that it has an influence on the whole country, this would also mean that the most crucial Financial Transits to the United States natal chart must have an impact on the US as a whole and on the stock markets.

To test this hypothesis, we can check to see what happens to the US stock markets when the US natal chart has Cinderella Transits, and also see what happens when the US natal chart has the worst Financial Transits.

According to Magi Astrology, the worst Financial Transits would be transiting Saturn making a Turbulent Angle to natal Chiron or Neptune.  (In all of our three books, we have explained that we believe it is Neptune that rules stocks.)  The Magi Society calls such transits Financial Heartbreak Transits.  Since January of 2002, there have been seven such transits in the US chart.

(The Magi Society uses the date of July 4, 1776 for the birth of the United States.  We also use heliocentric charts when we do anything concerning Financial Astrology; we believe the heliocentric chart is just as important as the geocentric chart when it comes to Financial Astrology).

According to Magi Astrology, Cinderella Transits are the best Financial Transits and since January of 2002, there have been six such transits in the US chart. 

Below is a graph of the Dow Jones Industrial Average from January 1, 2002 until September 10, 2004.  There are 13 vertical lines on the graph and each of them point to the dates of either a Cinderella Transit or a Financial Heartbreak Transit.  We used the Magi Society’s Financial Astrology Research Program (MagiOracle version 5.21) to create this graph and vertical lines.  Along the top of the graph, we listed the Cinderella Transits and listed which vertical pointers indicate the day each Cinderella Transit occurred.  Along the bottom of the graph, we listed the Financial Heartbreak Transits and indicated which vertical pointers show the day the Financial Heartbreak Transit occurred.

The important thing to note in the above graph is that there was a CLUSTER of five Financial Heartbreak Transits that occurred while the stock market was at the lows, whereas there was a CLUSTER of five Cinderella Transits while the stock market has been at its highs.

Is it possible that the Cluster of five Financial Heartbreak Transits actually caused the stock market to go down into a bottom?  And then is it possible that the Cluster of five Cinderella Transits actually caused the stock market to go up?

We went from a bad market that occurred during Financial Heartbreak Transits, to having a good market that occurred during Cinderella Transits.

(By the way, we should also point out that another Cinderella Transit is coming; transiting Chiron will trine the USA natal Neptune in the geocentric sky on November 20, 2004.)

Is all this coincidence or is all this a part of the answers?
