The Jupiter Cycle and its eects on Wall Street

Could the heavenly wanderings of an old Greek god have an impact on world stock markets? Could the position of the planet Jupiter consistently predict the timing of Bull market tops and Bear bottoms?
According to recent research tracking 140 years of prices on Wall Street, the answer is a simple: Yes. In the Greek mythology, Zeus/Jupiter was head honcho of the Old Gods. The ancient Greek tales, when studied in depth, are Creation stories charting the history of the world. And the tales form the basis of the system of astrology still used in the Western world. They also have counterparts in other cultures. In Vedic astrology and the Hindu religion, for example, Zeus/Jupiter has a counterpart in the gures of Guru/Ganesh. In both cases, this king of gods introduces the concept that one can break free - spiritually or materially. In brief, Jupiter is the symbol of growth and expansion. And Jupiters cycle through the zodiac shows up a very interesting statistical tendency in stock markets. Since the 1870s, Wall Street has shown a distinct tendency to peak while Jupiter is in late Aries/early Taurus decline into Jupiter in Leo rise again until Jupiter is in his own primary sign, Sagittarius and drop dramatically into Jupiter in Aquarius. The kneejerk response of many readers will be to dismiss the assertion as superstitious nonsense. It is an understandable, if predictable, response. Most people simply dont know anything about the complexity of astrology, its history, or the fact that the system of symbolism and prediction is based on observation by literally millions of practitioners over thousands of years. It is simply a clearly demonstrable fact that trading The Moods of The Moon - the monthly phases of the lunar cycle - produces steady and reliable prots across any long-term timeframe. And many of those same dismissive readers will happily fork out bundles of boodle to be trained in Gann techniques, or take notice of the Bradley Model turn dates - without having a clue that both are deeply rooted in astrological aspects. But, the proof of the pudding is in the eating and nothing paints a clearer picture than a picture.

Accurate astrological prediction is as much a skill as it is the result of many years of study and empirical research. And 1929 was one of them. Nevertheless, its why W.D. Gann has a large worldwide following, decades after his death - and why J.P. Morgan had the renowned astrologer, Evangeline Adams, on his payroll.
