The Oil Market

[SteveS]

Only if the Oil Market makes new all-times high, closing over 147 $ per barrel, I will become very interested in the Oil price topping exactly on Gann's odd-square chart with their dates. I know for a fact the Oil market historically vibrates to major tops with these 16 dates. Why?--I don't have a clue except 16 was an inportant number to the Hindu Astrologers, and Gann's son told me his father was taught all of his exact timing dates for major market tops & bottoms with a 6 week trip to India.

The next 5 dates on Gann's odd-square chart are: June 21, July 14, Aug 5, Aug 31, & Sept 22; all of these dates are comprising a 90 degree quartrant of this odd-square chart. This chart is dividing the year-up into 16 dates starting from the Spring Equinox. The only mention I can find of the number 16 in Vedic Astrology has something to do with the "Shodasavarga" chart which has to do with 16 divisional charts. I can't make heads or tails out of these charts, but I can see a law of nature working with Gann's 16 divisional dates in markets.

If their is a major hurricane in the Gulf this year destroying several of our oil rigs, most assurely the oil market will make new all time raging highs provided the Ukraine War is still happening. The heat indexs are already off the charts in the Gulf region acting as a magnet for major hurricanes.

Saturn in Aquarius - we've had it for a month, it goes away this week and comes back first of the year - always has to do with pipelines. These aren't usually about oil, but some of them have been about oil. (I think the underlying Aquarius principle is the pipeline!)

For example, in the '60s there was a big U.N. effort to weaken Rhodesia with an oil embargo. I wonder if this will recur?

My more elaborate summary on the theme (from the Saturn in Aquarius thread):

...First (recalling that ancient astrologers wrote of Aquarius primarily in terms of plumbing and waterways), Sidereal Aquarius is usually implicated whenever a big ditch is involved, especially a waterway, e.g., during the Suez Canal crisis in 1956, a year Mars spent mostly in Aquarius. With Saturn in Aquarius, we find construction beginning on the Erie Canal (just after the U.S. and U.K. agreed to no armed vessels in the Great Lakes) and the subsequent completion of the Illinois & Michigan Canal connecting the Great Leaks to the Mississippi River and Gulf of Mexico. We find riots (and treaty renegotiations) over the Panama Canal and the opening of the Channel Tunnel between England and France. Other connecting channels also opened, such as the Triborough and Oakland Bay bridges. It may be fun to watch for events like this over the next few years.

Summarized further as:

Water rights and other pipeline issues are increasingly important.

Most interesting Jim! I know the ancient Egyptian astrologers/astronomers associated Aquarius with water and the Nile, but the first thought that jumped into my mind after reading your thoughts was a major shortage of water somewhere in the World with Saturn in Aquarius. Never have I seen heat indexs so high this early in the season in my location, and they are predicting to get worse with little rain forecast for the next 2 weeks. Put all this together with the t Neptune Moon-Mars Capsolar and its scary.

[Jim Eshelman]

Yes, water is going to be an ever-bigger deal. Our firm has had a separate water rights legal practice for nearly a century (we were the unnamed nominative "bad guy" lawyers in Chinatown) and the person continuing and growing the water rights practice is a friend. It's easily one of the hottest (no pun intended) legal topics over the next 10-20 years. - I've forecast issues with this exact topic for Saturn in both Capricorn and Aquarius.

The Egyptian connection of Aquarius to the Nile became a larger theme of moving water, aqueducts, etc. as the Greeks and (especially) the Romans developed this science and built systems. You'd almost think Manilius' description of Aquarians made them all plumbers and water engineers! I can see definite connections to the oil industry. Here's a quote regarding luminaries in Aquarius:

The youthful Waterman, who from upturned pot pours forth his stream, likewise bestows skills which have affinity with himself: how to divine springs under the ground and conduct them above, to transform the flow of water so as to spray the very stars, to mock the sea with man-made shores at the bidding of luxury, to construct different types of artificial lakes and rivers [reservoirs and aqueducts], and to support aloft for domestic use streams that come from afar. Beneath this sign there dwell a thousand crafts regulated by water. Why, water will even set in motion the face of heaven and the starry habitations and will cause the skies to move in a novel rotation [referring to a model planetarium operated by water]. Never will the sons of Aquarius grow tired of the works which come in the wake of water and follow springs. They who issue from this sign are a gentle sort and a lovable breed, and no meanness of heart is theirs; they are prone to suffer losses; and of riches they have neither need nor surfeit. Even thus doth the urn's stream flow.

There are also some amazingly insightful descriptions of the Aquarian character in the last few lines.

about Manilius words. Makes me think of Michael Burry, the major investor character in the Movie "The Big Short" when he closed his investment fund to the public and said he was investing most of his profits in WATER. The World is perilosely living on possible major shortages of things.
