Chris,
This is really interpelling ! I thought a trine between Jupiter and
Uranus, the 2 money and wealth related planets, was one of the most
powerful (and positive) aspects for the financial markets. And
indeed, you are right: 4 days after October crash low, there was a
perfect Jupiter-Uranus trine !!!
This will feed the arguments of the astro contras ! And the Pros will
perhaps argue that on October 18, there was a Jupiter-Sun opposition
that erased the upcoming trine effect ?
Anyway, I become more and more doubtful about these techniques.
Thanks for this useful observation.
