OPEC DECLARES AN OIL EMBARGO
On October 6, 1973, Egyptian and Syrian troops attacked Israeli troops that were occupying the Sinai Peninsula and the Golan Heights. This marked the start of the Yom Kippur War. Nixon strongly supported the Israelis and the Arab nations retaliated against this US-Israel alliance by forcing OPEC to declare an oil embargo against the US, and of course against Israel. The result was a 2000 percent rise in the price of oil and the most devastating bear market in US history since the Great Depression.
Could you have predicted this by using Magi Astrology?
Once again, we think so. But when we say "predict" we do not mean we would have known ahead of time that OPEC would declare the oil embargo. What we mean is that once we knew that OPEC did declare the embargo, we could have used Magi Astrology to predict that the embargo would succeed and have a nearly catastrophic effect on the US economy. This is because when OPEC announced the embargo on October 20, 1973, there was a Nuclear Clash Aspect in the sky and Saturn also made a Clash with Pluto and Neptune. Since Pluto and Neptune are Financial Planets, the clashes formed by Saturn would be expected to have a strong negative influence on the economy and stock prices. Saturn also made a MAGIcal angle to Venus, another Financial Planet. Even though this was a MAGIcal Angle, this was harmful because Saturn is almost never helpful (except in ways explained in our third book). Finally, and most important of all, there was an Historic Aspect in the heliocentric sky that tells us the embargo would probably be very successful because it would go down in the history books. If the embargo were not success, it would not have become historic. Instead, it would have been an obscure footnote in history books.
Below are the geocentric and heliocentric Magi Astrology Charts for the day OPEC declared their embargo.
As you can see, when you use the principles of Magi Astrology and analyze the Planetary Geometry of the day, and include both the geocentric and heliocentric dimensions, you can easily understand the astrological reasons for the economic disaster that this embargo imposed on the US, and the reason for the bear market of 1973-74.
