Looking back 100 years

From WD Gann we have:

The major cycles run in 100 and 5000 years with variations based on minor cycles. In order to be sure of world events and important changes, it is necessary to go back at least 1000 years and prove up the cycles. (TTTA pg 79).

Let’s look back 100 years to 1914 (not 1000 or 5000) at DJIA (forgive the sad state of my data):

The market topped on March 19, 1914, one day after the quarter moon and two days before the Spring Equinox.  And the flat line that began July 31, 1914 was the four and one half closure of the NYSE.  

I have a couple planets in mind that will have relevance when we fast forward to today.  So here are the locations of five important planets on the March 19, 1914 top date:

Three of them are sesquisquare (135* or 3 X 45*) with Pluto on the cardinal cross and Jupiter and Uranus on the diagonal cross.  Pluto's’s longitude line bisects cell 61 on the day that DJIA topped at 60.47.  It’s not a very sharply angled chart with the 135* not being exact or with Pluto dead on price, but it has some reflection in a much sharper chart 100 years later.

Flip forward to 2014.  The market is now approximately 1 lunar month after the Spring Equinox.  The Equinox occurred this year two days before the last phase of the moon on March 23 and the last phase occurs on April 23, 2014 this month.  So we’re roughly 2 days short of one lunar month past where we were in 1914…as of Monday/Tuesday of next week.  Roughly 100 years and one month from the 1914 top.  So where do the five planets noted in 1914 stand as of about now (let’s pick out April 18, 2014 because I already have them screen shot from a post on a blog yesterday):

Well, 4 of the five planets from 1914 are forming an interesting square.  And that fifth planet Venus….it’s forming aspects as well:

What angle would the above planetary square and Venus wish to place a price?

If this interests you, you might want to read up on the history of 1914.  That's the 'proof' of cyclic repetition Gann was encouraging.  What struck me was not so much the similarity of the markets thus far but the geopolitical realignments of alliances.  Then there was 'the war to end all wars.'
