Everybody that spends some time with WD´s writings comes across what has been termed "Astro Letters". These were instructions WD had sent to one of his students that openly speak about the use of astrology.However,as openly as is spoken about it it would not be WD if it was a one glance all understood operation. I want to start with the Coffee part from March 19.
You can find some of what I write written elsewhere (Ferrera e.g) but this is not a copy-cat operation. In part 1 I will look at page 1 of the Coffee letter
The letter starts with giving price and resp. date for May Coffee Santos D.A
price of 8729 was reached on May 19th,1954.
The letter starts with 4 lines of applying various scales to turn price into
degrees:
Lets first talk about the scales a bit.
The first scale is 1pt to 1 deg,which is derived from our good old Earth rotating the Sun in one year.One degree per day that is.
The 2nd scale is 30pt to 1 deg.The basis for this scale is Saturn rotating the Sun in 30 years.
The third scale is 12pt. to 1 deg. and since this is not one of the usual scales he tells right away that it is based on Jupiter,which rotates the Sun in 12 years.
The fourth scale is different from the other 3 in that it is not connected to planetary rotation.It is 1cent to 1 deg.
So far we have three natural scales and 1 man made so to say.The three natural scales show how using different scales positions price differently on a circle.
The man made one teaches rotating the decimals.If you read cent as percent
then 8729/100=87.29 and this gives 87deg17min and that is 27 17 Gemini.
The same scale is again used on the $ value of 28171 which gives 281.71 deg and
leads to 11 42 Capricorn.
As we go along you will notice discrepancies in numbers stated in the letter and in what a recalculation produces.The recipient of the letter was supposed to work through this stuff and not just read it.I cant see any step by step course by WD.This was not his understanding of work ethics.
Ok,lets continue....the next line brings up the average of 5 options as 8663 leading to 28 Aries. Well, 8663 is at 23 Aries whereas 8668 is at 28 Aries.Then he relates the 28 Aries to the position of Jupiter(H) at 89.5 deg and goes on to say this price is 60 deg from the Jupiter positon.Doing the math shows that is actually 61.5 deg away so this shows one need not be exact to the T in this.
Another thing thats interesting here is if we exchange the word average with the word mean we see he shows in these lines the concept of Mean Of Five which he introduced in the Soybean part of the Astro Letters.Only this time applied to a group of prices.
So far the first paragraph introduced ways to turn price into degrees,this was an isolated view on price only.Now in the second paragraph price degree positions get related to planetary positions.
First relation is that the MOF sextiles Jupiter(H) position.Second relation is the current price of 8729 is conjunct Jupiter(H).
Now he takes the Saturn scaled price and relates it to Uranus (H) position.This price is in opposition to the position.This is what active angles is about.
If you take a bit of an abstract perspective there is a theme of the Law of three in the text so far.We have three relationships and three natural scales.Further the scales are arranged in a way that expresses the Law of three directly in that there is a minor,major and intermediate scale.
The first two paragraphs represent an analysis of the situation on March 19th.Now he introduces the time element in the analysis.
April 16th 1931 to April 16th 1954 276 months
50pt per month gets us to about (50x275)=13750 on March 19th.In order to get to the stated 8715 (8715/275)=31.69/mth is the underlying scale.This would be a scale running from ´0´.Now since he also states a low for April 16th 1931 we can use that for another calculation.
(8715-435)=8280...(8280/275)=30.1pts/mth.This would be a scale starting at the low.WD introduces both ways in his stock market course.
If you have read Ferrera´s take on the letter you might notice his calculated scale comes out at exact 30,because he projects 8715 to April 16th 1954 and uses 276 months.
Now lets check the Sun calculation.
From April 16th 1931 to March 19th he states the Sun has moved 8253deg.
(8253/275)=30.01 pts/mth. Now the .01 can be explained by the 3 day difference to a full month and should be the cause for this discrepancy.He then goes on to add the price of 16th 1931 which is 435 to 8253 and creates a resistance angle with that. (8253+435)=8688 and this leads to a resistance angle of 48deg
The adding and the fact that the scale comes out almost exact hints that this is a `0`application.
October 1st 1936 to April 1st 1954 210 months
As before the stated scales dont get us to his prices on March 19th.
(30x209)=6270 and (40x209)=8360
However in this part of the letter he does not say prices on March 19th!
So lets use 210 months.
(30x210)=6300 and (40x210)=8400
If we start the angles at the low of 300 this leads to 6600 and 8700.Now we have one reproduced calculation and one thats a 1000 off of his stated prices.Since the recalculation produces the exact 8700 it is my opinion that the other price is also correct.
So the last two paragraphs were examples for the use of geometric angles.
He started the letter with price being turned into degrees,now we get to the reverse of that-turning a planets position to price.
April 16th 1931 to March 19th 1954 Saturn(G) movement
Saturn moved 285,63deg.This shall lead to a price of 8572.
(8572/285,63)=30.01
October 1st 1936 to March 19th 1954
Saturn moved 231deg.Price would equal 7230.
(7230/231)=31.29deg/pts this is too far off,so since we already were shown the possibility to use the low as a base or leave it with geometrical angles ,lets try leaving it out.
(7230-300)=6930.....(6930/231)=30.Isnt this a perfect example.
May 15th 1940(low 545 Profits page 385) to March 19th 1954
Saturn moved 181,58deg leading to a price of 6990.
(6990/181.58)=38.49pts/deg. Now this price actually puzzles me and I dont know if I am not missing a concept here.
(6990-545)=6445.....(6445/181,58)=35.49.....still not convincing....so lets start with the degrees and a scale of 30
(181,58x30)=5447.5....+545=5992.5...as said before no clue here....but the next price is in line again....
a scale of 45 would give 8715 he states.......(181,58x45)=8171...
+545=8716...lets check....(8715-545)=8170...(8170/181,58)=44.99
August 19th 1940 to March 19th I suppose (Low 555 pg.385)
Saturn moved 173,38deg which leads to a price of 8760 on a 45 scale.This price is a puzzle again.
(8760/173,38)=50.52
Now we come to Saturn(H)
April 16th 1931 to March 19th 1954 Saturn moves 287,25deg price at 8632
(287,25x30)=8617.5.....(8632/287,25)=30.05
October 1st 1936 Saturn moved 225deg and gives a price of 7150
(225x30)=6750....+300=7050.....now thats off.....so lets check....
(7150-300)=6850...(6850/225)=30.44
1940 May15th Saturn moved 179,73deg and price is stated at 5940
(5940-545)=5395....(179,73x30)=5391...checking....(5395/179,73)=30.01
1940 August 19th Saturn gained 176,23deg with price 5842
(5842-555)=5287.....(176,23x30)=5286,9.....checking....
(5287/176,23)=30.0005
So apart from the puzzles what WD showed was how to apply the same principles,the start from ´0´ and the start from the ow,to both geometrical angles and planetary longitudes.
