84 Year Cycle

Much of the following information was learned directly from Luther Jensen's book "Astro-Cycles & Speculative Markets". This book was first published in 1935 however it is still in print and available from the Lambert-Gann publishing company (linked below). It is of course a highly recommended text for anyone with an interest in studying financial astrology.

In short, the 84 year cycle is the cycle of Uranus's orbit around the sun and I would expect that there are many phenomena or events that can be correlated with this cycle. Jensen however sets out a limited but clear argument showing that the presence of Uranus in Gemini (and more specifically at 8 to 9 degrees of Gemini) has correlated extremely accurately with major events and epochal changes in the history of the United States.

In chronological order these major events and changes have been:

1. 1523 Uranus crossed the 8th and 9th degrees of Gemini. It was around this time that the first Spanish settlements of the new world took place in Florida at a site near Jamestown. It is well understood that Columbus 'discovered' America in 1492, however the Spanish did nothing with this new knowledge at the time. It was not until the 1520's that serious attempts to colonise the new territories took place.

2. In 1607 (i.e. 1523 + 84) the first English settlement was made at Jamestown with Uranus again at 8 to 9 degrees of Gemini. What could go wrong?!

3. In 1691 both England and American colonies were in the midst of civil war. In the process of this conflict Jamestown is burned and subsequently ceases to be the capital of Virginia.

4. In 1775 and 1776 Uranus was again at 8 to 9 degrees of Gemini. This coincides exactly with the Declaration of Independence which was the starting point of the American revolutionary war.

5. In 1860 and 1861 Uranus was again at 8 to 9 degrees of Gemini, timing with great accuracy the beginning the of American civil war.

At the time when Jensen published his book the next transit of Uranus was still 7 years into the future so he didn't know what the exact effects would be. He did however know what the planetary positions would be and he therefore made the following comment or prediction:

From 1859-1860 to 1943-1944, when Uranus will again traverse the 8th and 9th degrees of Gemini, is 84 years. Intensifying circumstances at that time will be Saturn in Gemini between May 9th, 1942 and June 20th, 1944, following a conjunction of Saturn and Uranus in 29 degrees of Taurus on May 3rd, 1942, and a conjunction of Jupiter and Saturn in Taurus (an earth sign) in the early part of February 1941. It is unqualifiedly the most momentous period so far encountered in American history.

Can anyone not say that the emergence of the United States as the world's major superpower does not derive directly from it's involvement in the Second World War at that time?

The next question however is of course: When will the next transit of Uranus at 8 to 9 degrees of Gemini be?

The answer is from July 2027 to May 2028, a bit less than 9 years from now. Also contributing to the astrological pressures at that time will be:

  • Saturn Uranus 45 degrees 
  • Jupiter Uranus 90 degrees
  • Jupiter Saturn 135 degrees
  • Jupiter Neptune 135 degrees
  • New Moon square to Uranus on 31st of August 2027
  • Lunar Node 18.6 year cycle low
Given the above the 3rd quarter of 2027 is set to be a particularly stressful time. I do hope however that America can get through this without doing anything particularly regrettable.
