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.
