RULE NO. 8
THE EFFECT OF PERIHELIUM BY USING HELIOCENTRIC POSITIONS

We use Venus as example. In rule No. 7 we had to use the positions given in Raphael’s Ephemeris. In the present case, we use the positions as given in the Nautical Almanac; i.e., the heliocentric positions, 130 degrees 42’ instead of 10 degrees 42’ Leo.

Year Date Effect
1937 – March 3 – we are in a strong up move; the next day the price drops a 1/2c below the March 3 price, then we run up 20c.
1937 – Oct. 12 – a low followed by sharp ups and downs within a 6c range for three weeks.
1938 – May 25 – a gap down ward, followed by an 8c drop.
1939 – Jan. 5 – a top (Venus at 130 degrees 42’).
1939 – Aug. 17 – at this place we reach a high point made July 31 previous, run through it the next day for a 7c up move.
1940 – March 29 – a low followed by a 9c up move. The low level of March 29 was broken by ½ c on April 3, 1940.
1940 – Nov. 9 – is date of next event.

The examples show that Venus heliocentric passing its perihelium place produces strong moves. However, we also see that they may be either up or down and,
therefore, whenever we do use this method we absolutely have to work with reverse stops. We have better rules to come.

RULE NO. 9
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.

Examples:
We use now the value 19*36’ Scorpio.
Year Date Effect
1935 – Nov.22 – a top, followed by a 6c drop.
1936 – Nov. 14 – an important low from which a major up move starts.
1937 – Nov. 7 – a major low for Wheat.
1938 – Oct. 30 – a top, followed by a 3c drop; we are in a bottom area, and the 3c drop brought the low three days later.
1939 – Oct. 24 – we are at that time in an up ward movement and the price level of this day is at a small reaction low, which is broken by 1/2c three days later; and then we moved up strongly.

We now use the value of 19*36’ Sagittarius.

Year Date Effect
1935- Dec. 11. – a low followed by an immense gap of 3-1/2c and a top the day after.
1936 – Dec. 3 – in an up move of major proportions.
1937 – Nov. 26 – a major low.
1938 – Nov. 21 – an important low, followed by a 3-1/2c up ward move. The price range at that time was narrow.
1939 – Jan.. 3 – a top.
1939 – Dec. 30 – a top.

We now us the value of 24*14’ Capricorn.

Year Date Effect
1935 – Jan. 8 – a top – major.
1936 – Dec. 27 – a major top.
1938 – Feb. 4 – in a top area, less than 2c from the top.
1939 – Jan. 29 – a top, followed by a decline.
1940 – Jan. 21 – in a top formation followed by a 6c drop.

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.
