Apparently the seven-planet, new moon alignment on February 6th-
the sixth anniversary of when I saw that mysterious special report of
a chemical SCUD missile attack on Israel- marked the beginning of a
final rally to a Grand Supercycle peak above Dow 7000 rather than the
beginning of a crash like I predicted in my February 4th post (see
http://www.gaiamind.org/feb6.html ). (For information on the Grand
Supercycle peak, link to the article from the Stock Market Update
page- URL above.) Importantly, if the final top in the stock market
occurs this week, then it will coincide with the third and final major
astronomic configuration of the "Aquarian Convergence" (see-
http://www.gaiamind.org/followup.html ). Specifically, on February
14th, or actually from February 13th-19th, the majority of planets
will harmonize into a configuration similar to the Harmonic
Convergence in mid-August of 1987, when the stock market topped just
before that year's crash (see- http://www.gaiamind.org/feb14.html ).
Since many would like to dismiss my contention that there is a
connection between astroharmonics and major turning points in the
stock market, mass mood and world history based upon how I
overemphasized the potential for the Grand Supercycle peak at the time
of the January 23rd "Star of David" planetary configuration (and many
previous minor alignments- see http://www.gaiamind.com for info on the
January 23rd configuration), I think it is important to highlight the
insights of stock market analysts more experienced than myself who
make use of astroharmonics. In particularly, one should consider the
current views of Arch Crawford and Greg Meadors, probably the two most
renown "financial astrologers".
Arch Crawford's perspective was revealed in a recent Network News
post:

Astrologer/Technician Arch Crawford will be interviewed by
Mark Haines on CNBC Squawkbox at 7:40 E.S.T. Tuesday, Feb 4.
CRAWFORD PERSPECTIVES has for some time been predicting
that the Bull Market will END Mid-February (13-19) coincident
with a major planetary configuration taking place over that
period, making that time frame comparable to the "Harmonic
Convergence" which topped the market on August 24th, 1987,
prior to the market CRASH of that year.
Last week on "Squawkbox", Mark Hulbert mentioned that
CRAWFORD PERSPECTIVES was one of only THREE (of 60-80) top
newsletters that had beaten the market averages since 1990.
Hulbert's Digest of last September said that CRAWFORD had
beaten the BUY-and-HOLD strategy by 39.1% over the last 5 year
period (thru Aug, '96). That was measured with risk
adjustment against the Wilshire 5000 Total Return Index, one
of the broadest averages generally available.
This amazing record was compiled strictly through MARKET
TIMING by his unique Astronomic Cycles backed up with
Technical Market Analysis.
As for Mr. Meadors current stock market perspective, this can be
gathered from an excerpt from his January investment newsletter that
is posted at http://ison.com/mktsys/ -
From Greg Meador's January 7, 1997 Newsletter:
MUTUAL FUNDS
"The Dow is now at the 6600 level and we expect this amazing
Bull Market to continue into mid-February. It is always best
to trade in the direction of the main trend, thus, we
continue to recommend buying the dips as the Market continues
to reach higher highs."
TURNING POINT DATES & SHORT TERM STRATEGY
"The next dates of significance occur on February 5th, and on
the 7th which is the time of the New Moon. A one or two day
pull-back may start on the 5th, lasting one or two days into
the 7th. The 7th is a HIGH ENERGY DATE as there are several
HARMONIC INDICATORS on the 7th. Thus, the 7th should be the
start of the final acceleration of the up-trend. Any weakness
at this time should be another buying opportunity."
(The Dow has continued to rally another 300 points and the
forecast for a decline from February 5th into the New Moon on
7th was accurate providing another buying opportunity).
When I emailed Mr. Meadors about his current perspective, he
responded that he was expecting a final blowoff to the Dow 7000 area
into February 14th- a prediction that may now be proving correct. The
specific astroharmonic reasoning behind his expectations is as
follows:
From: meadors@ix.netcom.com (Gregory L. Meadors)
The planetary pattern during this (current) time frame is
very intense and indicates a blow-off rally and major top with
a change in trend.
The combinations of aspects from the 11th into the 16th are
as follows:
*Mercury sextile Saturn
*Mercury sextile Pluto
*Mercury trine Mars
*Mars trine Uranus
*Mars trine Jupiter
*Mars sextile Pluto
*Jupiter sextile Pluto
Climaxing with these on the Saturday and Sunday:
*Jupiter conjunct Uranus
*Mars opposite Saturn
-Dow 7000 & Psychological Barriers in the Stock Market-
What is remarkable about what may now be the final top in the
stock market at the time of significant astroharmonics is that such a
top might be occurring around the psychologically important 7000 mark
in the Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA). As I have been pointing
out for some years now, there is a tendency for the Dow to top around
seemingly magical thousand marks in the DJIA near the times of
significant planetary alignments (usually within a percent-or-so above
or below a given thousand mark and usually within a month-or-so of a
tight alignment of at least five-planets).
In my article on the "Grand Supercycle Peak", I point out the
following (see the article from the Stock Market Update page at
http://www.ucc.uconn.edu/~jpa94001/update.html for related charts):
-Psychological Barriers-
...between the 1960's and 1980's, the DJIA reversed from the
"Magic 1000" mark five times- by more than 30% on average each
time. The first time the Dow reached 1000 and reversed was
February of 1966 when a major seven-planet alignment took
place.
In mid-July of 1990, the DJIA closed at a peak of 2999.75
two days in a row when a six-planet alignment occurred and
then entered a three-month, twenty percent collapse into
October of that year. (Notably, with the new moon/solar
eclipse on July 22nd of 1990- right after the planetary
alignment- the Dow went from just above 3000 to 2850 in a
matter of a couple of trading hours thus marking the main
reversal from the psychologically important 3000 mark).
Lastly, going into the full moon in late-January of 1994
that proceeded the tightest alignment of planet in 300 years,
the Dow rose to just below the 4000 mark (the print high was
4002) and then entered a year-long correction. (The Wall
Street Journal correctly anticipated this reversal in an
article dubbed "A Rare Planet Alignment Bodes A Bust For
Booming Stock Market" which appeared on 1/12/94, p.B1.)
Now what is important to note is that following stock market turning
points from psychologically important thousand marks in the DJIA,
negative historical events tend to erupt that *cause* stock prices to
drop and the trend in the collective mood of investors to change:
-The Coming Shock-
Remarkably, each time the DJIA reversed significantly from
psychologically important thousand marks in the past, negative
historical events occurred that fit the associated reversal in
investors' expectations and therefore seemingly "caused" the
stock market to decline. Each time the DJIA reversed from the
"Magic 1000" barrier between 1966 and 1982, there were all
kinds of troubles which emerged ranging from OPEC oil
embargoes, to the Vietnam War, to Watergate. One of the most
notable cases occurred in October of 1973 when the DJIA rose
to just below Dow 1000 as the Arabs launched a surprise attack
against Israel which, in turn, led to a major East/West
confrontation and an Arab oil embargo against the West.
Consequently, the world economy entered a severe contraction
and stock prices plunged. In the summer of 1990, just after
the DJIA reversed from 3000, Iraq invaded Kuwait thereby
triggered a Persian Gulf crisis and major oil-shock that
"caused" the world economy to slip into a recession and stock
prices to plunge. Lastly, right after the Dow reversed from
the 4000 mark in January of 1994, the Fed unexpectedly hiked
interest rates and the stock market entered a year-long
correction.
If this pattern is going to repeat here, then in the wake of a
stock market top above Dow 7000 coincident with an astroharmonic
"Aquarian Convergence" similar the August 1987 Harmonic Convergence,
some sort of negative historical event(s) is going to occur that will
dramatically upset investors' expectations. What is more, since the
stock market top now being reached is likely an Elliott Wave "Grand
Supercycle" peak (see my related article), the upset that will occur
could be the worst in history.
So what sort of upset could occur?
As I have long contended, particularly because it was
supernaturally revealed to me, the odds are that, following the final
Grand Supercycle top in the stock market, probably around a
psychologically important thousand mark in the DJIA and probably
around the time of a major planetary alignment, a global war will
breakout.
How could this be? After all, in this age of unprecedented world
peace and prosperity where would a world war come from?
My answer to this has been generally consistent. The odds are
that the popular beliefs that have generated high investor
expectations and driven the DJIA now to above the 7000 mark, are false
beliefs- dangerous delusions caused by the irrationality of Western
greed. In particularly, the Communist East that has long been
pursuing the military domination of the Capitalist West, has likely
deceived the West (and the world as-a-whole) with international peace
and cooperation in order to instill a false sense of security and open
the way for a surprise third world war.
As explained in my Global War articles, the four key, strategic
flashpoints that should be watched for the outbreak of the coming
global war are Russia, the Middle East, the Balkans and the Korean
Peninsula (see http://www.ucc.uconn.edu/~jpa94001/content.html ).
Notably, as we now appear to be reaching the Grand Supercycle peak
around Dow 7000 with the Aquarian Convergence, the four key
flashpoints I've been watching are heating-up.
In Russia, Yeltsin is once again sick, supposedly recovering all-
too slowly from pneumonia. This mixed with communist and nationalist
forces jostling to take power is opening the way for an eventual
right-wing coup in Moscow.
In the Middle East, Iraq is reportedly suffering unprecedented
internal turmoil while the U.S. is mulling new missile- and/or air-
strikes in response to covert attempts by Baghdad to keep an arsenal
of SCUD missiles potentially with chemical/biotoxic warheads,
something I believe will serve as a pretext for Iraq to launch a
chemical SCUD missile attack against Israel and set-off a regional
war. Notably, the recent developments concerning Iraq come just as
the major Arab powers are putting the finishing touches on military
preparations for a major attack against Israel.
Thirdly, in the Balkans, new tensions are emerging in Serbia-
proper, Albania, Kosovo and Bosnia that could lead to a new explosion
fraught with the danger of NATO being pitted against Russia's slavic
Serb allies.
Lastly, and probably most importantly, new tensions are emerging
between North and South Korea over the recent, suspicious defection of
a top North Korean offical to the South Korean embassy in China.
These tensions could easily explode into a new war on the Korean
Peninsula that would have a devastating impact on East Asia and the
world as-a-whole.
The important thing to keep in mind is that, should a global war
erupt in the wake of irrationally high Western expectations now
represented by a potential Grand Supercycle peak above Dow 7000, it is
because people have become self-deceived by their own greed and are
again predictably repeating history's mistakes. Collective belief in
the strategic deceptions of the East, much like popular belief in lies
of our own leaders, is ultimately a derivative of the lies Americans,
the West and people throughout the entire world tell themselves day-
in-and-day-out: that it is okay to value oneself above others the the
world-as-a-whole and live accordingly. Because of this dangerous
collective delusion, instead of achieving world peace and prosperity,
people are achieveing world war and destruction- the complete opposite
of what almost everyone now irrationally expects.
