SPX vs George Bayer's Rule # 32 - Mercury imitates the Sun

MERCURY’S GEOCENTRIC LONGITUDE 126°30’ AFTER THE SUN

This rule is one of the strangest I have been able to find. It is very simple, although it entails work to project correctly. We use the geocentric longitude of Sun at any important top or bottom. To this longitude we add each time the value 126°30’. When the addition has been made and the exact place located in the Zodiac, i.e. the degrees and minutes and the right sign belonging to them, we look when Mercury is going to pass this point. Hold fast that day! The movement that developed previously at the Sun’s place will come off in the same direction at the Mercury place. Thus, Mercury imitates the Sun’s effect.
[...] This law I dug out of the Hebrew Talmud. What the Sun does, Mercury does the same 126°30’ later. We only apply this rule from extreme tops and extreme bottoms. The effect is felt only several months later and not a few weeks later.
[...] There is a small matter to discuss yet, at least to draw your attention to. We know that Mercury moves at times retrograde. Should that measurement coming from  the Sun reach Mercury at the time it moves retrograde, we have first a place over which it does move direct and only after that does Mercury retrograde and pass over the same Sun projection of 126°30’ and again after it turns direct it must pass the same spot again.

Examples:
               
(1) At the April 1, 2014 (Tue) low in the SPX the Sun's position was at 11°29'41" (11°ARI29'41") longitude; that of Mercury at 349°38'52" (19°PSC38'53"). 11°29'41" + 126°30’ = 137°59'41".
Mercury passed 137°59'41" longitude on August 9, 2014 (Sat); the low in the SPX was on August 7-8 (Thu-Fri).

(2) At the August 7, 2014 (Thu) low in the SPX the Sun's position was at 134°44'23" (14°LEO44'23") longitude; that of Mercury at 133°13'37" (13°LEO13'38"). 134°44'23" + 126°30’ = 261°14'23".
Mercury passed 261°14'23" longitude on November 22, 2014 (Sat), a low in the SPX.

(3) At the September 19, 2014 (Fri) High in the SPX the Sun's position was at 176°17'39" (26°VIR17'40") longitude; that of Mercury at 202°26'57" (22°LIB26'58"). 176°17'39" + 126°30’ = 302°47'39".
Mercury passed 302°47'39" longitude on January 6, 2015 (Tue), a low in the SPX.

(4) At the October 15, 2014 (Wed) Low in the SPX the Sun's position was at 201°52'09" (21°LIB52'09") longitude; that of Mercury at 205°17'27" (25°LIB17'27"). 201°52'09" + 126°30’ = 328°44'48".
Mercury passed 328°44'48" longitude on March 12, 2015 (Thu), a low in the SPX.

(5) At the Feb 2, 2015 (Mon) low in the SPX the Sun's position was at 313°07'13" (13°AQU07'13") longitude; that of Mercury at 306°59'01" (06°AQU59'01"). 313°07'13" + 126°30’ = 79°37'13".
Mercury will pass 79°37'13" longitude on Juli 2, 2015 (Thu). 

SPX and Grains vs » A Time and Times and Half a Time « | George Bayer

»In Revelations (12:14) as well as in Daniel we find quotations of "A time and times and half a time": "And the woman was given two wings of a great eagle, that she might fly into the wilderness, into her place where she is nourished for a time, and times, and half a time, from the face of the serpent."

From the September 29, 2014 low to the June 19, 2015 high the Sun moved 261.63 degrees through the zodiac.

This event tells us that at the time it was winter. The eagle of the Bible always means the zodiacal sign of the Scorpion. The woman in this case represents the Sun, whose home is in the sign of Leo. She flew into the wilderness, her place. The wilderness of the Bible means the sign of Leo. She was nourished in her place for a time and times and half a time, the value of which counts to one hundred and twenty-two and one half. In as much as the biblical circle is not three hundred and sixty degrees in length, but extends to 368° 10' 48’’, therefore the actual beginning of its domain is at 13° 36’ 12’’ of the of the sign of Taurus and the end at 16° 21' 48" in the sign of Virgo. Jupiter and Saturn dominate the other two portions.

Most readers are apt to ask what this has to do with the market. The answer is contained therein and lies in the time factor of the price movements for stocks and for wheat and for other commodities. Even those who have studied Astrology from textbooks must be greatly surprised about the above statement, because no textbook brings anything about it. The textbooks use the circle of 360 degrees which is not the one the prophets used when they predicted events.

Analyzing further we find the unit of “Times and times and half a time” to be 35. 1 time is 35; two times is 70; and half a time is 17½. Adding gives us 122½. 2½ times representing 122° 43’ 36’’ or 1 time equaling 35° 3’ 53’’.

The number 35 (actually 35° 3’ 53’’), the eighth part thereof as well as the multiples of the same constitute the basis for distance movements in stocks and wheat.«

17½   35   52½   70   87½   105   122½   140   157½   175   192½   210   227½   245   262½   280   297½   315  332½   350   367½
Rounded this is:
18   35   53   70   88   105   123   140   158   175   193   210   228   245   263   280   297   315   333   350   368

George Bayer (1937): Time Factors in the Stock Market, p. 39-40 

From the October 15, 2014 low to the June 18, 2015 high the Sun moved 245.84 degrees through the zodiac.

SPX vs George Bayer's Rule # 1

SPEED OF MERCURY IN GEOCENTRIC LONGITUDE

... Periodically the speed comes to a stand-still. At such times the planet moves from a direct motion into a retrograde motion or from a retrograde to a direct motion ... It is advisable to plot this Mercury speed ... through an entire year and note the effect of such changes. We obtain tops or bottoms ... When the previous movement is down, Wheat must be bought on weakness of the day; if the market moves upward prior to change of Mercury’s speed, short positions must be taken on strength during the day mercury changes its speed.

SPX vs George Bayer's Rule #4A - Mercury 80 Years Ago

MERCURY 80 YEARS AGO

We use the geocentric ephemeris, concentrate only on Mercury as it passes through the Zodiac. We mark each day when this planet enters a new sign 80 years ago, i.e. when it arrives at 0 degrees. We also mark those days in which Mercury turns retrograde or direct. Note, that a planet changing signs and going direct, respectively retrograde are two entirely different things, but for our work they fit together. Here is a list of these places together with the dates when they happened back in 1857. These dates are to be carried over to the year 1937, exactly 80 years further according to the Sun’s motion and not according to Mercury’s motion. All quotations are for Mercury only. In this example the years 1857 and 1858 were used.

1857 – equals 1937         1858 – equals 1938
3/31  0 Aries                 1/6 retrograde
5/20 retrograde            1/26 direct
6/17 direct                   2/13  0 Aquarius
7/23  0 Leo                   3/6-7  0 Pisces
10/10 direct                 3/23  0 Aries
11/22  0 Sagittarius      4/6  0 Taurus

Each and every one of these positions gave 80 years later  tops and bottoms not of a few points but of from 50 to 200 points in hides. Look up the dates on the hide charts. Note: The very same calendar days are used 80 years later.

SPX vs George Bayer's Rule #44 - Mercury Halfway Retrograde

MERCURY HALFWAY RETROGRADE PLACE  
... The rule here concerns only the retrograde movement and centers specifically on the halfway point from the moment Mercury turns retrograde to the place where it moves again direct. We figure the difference of these two places in the Zodiac, divide by two and look in the ephemeris (Raphael’s) for the date when this halfway point is reached ...

SPX vs George Bayer's Rule #6 - Mars @ 16(AQU)35

MARS IN GEOCENTRIC LONGITUDE PLUS 330 DEGREES
Here is a rule that does not occur very often. Whenever it can be used, grand results are obtained. We use the position of Mars in geocentric longitude and the value to be used is 16 degrees 35’. The signs which we have to use change from year to year backwards. In simpler words, we add to a value once established 330 degrees. As stated above the Laws of Nature are very intricate and hard to explain, but when looked up on charts and in the ephemerides you can grasp what I mean.

SPX vs George Bayer's Rule #6A - Declination of Mars

MARS DECLINATION HELIOCENTRIC, 19°51’00” *

From the Nautical Almanac, page 191 up we find the apparent Declination of Mars. We use in this only the value 19°51’. We locate these days ahead of time and expect tops and bottoms to appear there ... These cases happen twice or three times a year.

[George Bayer (1940): Stock and Commodity Traders´ Hand-Book of Trend Determination. Carmel, California; p. 47]

* Heliocentric declination does not exist. In astronomy the heliocentric coordinate system uses longitude and latitude; the geocentric coordinates system longitude and declination. Since Mars oscillates between latitude +/- 1.85 degrees, Bayer was actually looking for days when Mars' declination was at +/- 19°51’00” = 19.850 degrees.

MERCURY GEOCENTRIC PASSING OVER 19°36’ SCORPIO AND SAGITTARIUS, ALSO OVER 24°14’ CAPRICORN PRODUCES BIG CHANGES *

Whatever the cause may be, why there are changes produced when Mercury passes certain geocentric degrees we do not know. The rule gives results. The values are 19°36’ Scorpio and Sagittarius, also 24°14’ in Capricorn ... While the first two values bring forth important changes of trend, the last value brings forth all tops in the five years’ period tested, which is quite encouraging to make commitments upon. The opposing places bring also changes: 19°36’ Taurus, 19°16” Gemini and 24°14’ Cancer.

SPX vs George Bayer's Rule #27 - Mercury's Speed is 59' or 1°58'

MERCURY’S SPEED IN LONGITUDE GEOCENTRIC OF 59’ AND 1°58’

see also HERE

So let us take Raphael’s Ephemeris again, ... and follow the movements of Mercury from day to day in its longitude. Its speed ranges from 0 to 2.12. In another rule I told you already that 0 and 2.12 in Mercury’s speed bring changes of trend. 

Now we use Mercury’s speed when it is the same as the mean daily motion of the Sun in Longitude or double this amount. The daily motion of the Sun is 59’; double this amount is 1°58’.
Each time Mercury passes these values we can expect changes of trend and, mind you, often times they give big tops and big major bottoms ...

This rule is intended to make you find the very small moves in Wheat lasting only a few days.

However, since we nearly always have to do with bottoms, tops, and gaps-either one and the changes explained here come one after the other, we must be in a position to watch the actual performance of Wheat at very close distance.

We turn to page 167 and up in the Nautical Almanac of the year 1937 or to page 187 in the year 1940. In the center of the page we have our column; Heliocentric Latitude of Venus.

We note the values vibrate between 3°23 and 0°, going from plus to minus to both extremes. 0° is the center of the vibration.

I have discovered that the following values within this vibration give changes, on the plus side as well as on the minus side. They miss occasionally one of the values, but, as said, we must be at the board to watch the sales and prices. My notes say: there are 17 values in the entire cycle movement, 8 on each side of the zero point. In my tests I found that one miss occurs (i.e. nothing happens) in one entire cycle.

Here is the rule: Changes of trend for minor moves occur at the following Latitude points of Venus when Venus passes over it;
  
0°00’ =       0.000 degrees
0°13’ = +/- 0.217 degrees
1°50’ = +/- 1.833 degrees
2°17’ = +/- 2.283 degrees
2°30’ = +/- 2.500 degrees
3°00’ = +/- 3.000 degrees
3°17’ = +/- 3.283 degrees
3°23’ = +/- 3.383 degrees
