When the Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) on March 5, 2013 surpassed its previous all-time high set six years earlier, it followed in the astrological path of its two previous 45-year cycles based the interaction between Saturn and Uranus, planets that impact financial and economic events.
That pattern starts when the two slow-moving planets are in the same zodiac sign and degree, or "conjunct." Then, roughly every 10 years, the planets move another 90 degrees apart until they come back together again and start the cycle over. History shows that the DJIA marks important turning points at each of these 90-degree points in the planetary cycle.
In the current cycle, which began in 1988, the DJIA has now fulfilled the step of surpassing its previous all-time high in about six years. But, because we are in the waning phase of the cycle, it portends a severe bear market — establishing a low akin to those in 1932 and 1974 — is on the horizon within the next few years.
DJIA Pattern with Saturn/Uranus
The DJIA was first published on May 26, 1896, about six months before Saturn and Uranus were exactly conjunct in Scorpio. So, the DJIA is neatly aligned with the astrological cycle pertaining to finance. Here is the pattern it follows:
- The DJIA makes a significant low as Saturn/Uranus approach the first exact conjunction (same zodiac sign and degree).
- The DJIA makes a new all-time high during the Saturn/Uranus opposition (180 degrees apart, in opposite signs of the zodiac). This high is not surpassed for several years.
- The DJIA ultimately surpasses the high made during the Saturn/Uranus opposition as the planets lead up to or are in the waning square (270 degrees apart by zodiac sign), which then leads to a significant bear market that begins the cycle over again at the next conjunction.
- The characteristics of the zodiac sign in which the cycle begins establish an investment theme for the entire cycle.
Cycle I—Research and Digging—1897-1942
The first cycle began with Saturn and Uranus conjunct in Scorpio, the sign that represents digging deep to find the answer. Certainly to develop an index like the DJIA that represents detailed research about the underlying stocks has a Scorpion fingerprint, as does the Gold Rush of going underground to mine for precious metal, which kicked off the economy's recovery in the cycle's first year.
The entire cycle was attuned to the rush to speculation and making it rich quickly. It started with the Gold Rush in 1897, at the initial conjunction. It gained steam during the opposition, making a new all-time high in 1919 that led to several years of sideways action before surpassing the high five years later.
Ultimately, the bull market of the 1920s, which ended in 1929 just before the waning square, was driven by speculation of trading on margin on the stock exchange, which was its downfall, and led to the Great Depression of the 1930s during the strength of the waning square.

This Saturn/Uranus cycle began with a conjunction in the sign of Taurus, which stands for comfort and security of the physical and set the overarching theme of physical security and the cost of physical goods throughout the cycle.
The stock market's low occurred five days previous to the first exact conjunction, ending a five-month bear market that was precipitated by the attack on the United States at Pearl Harbor in December 1941. This attack threatened the U.S. sense of security and brought it into WWII.
At the waxing square, the market rallied during the Korean Conflict (War) as the post-WWII boom was gaining steam. U.S. military involvement in Vietnam occurred during the Saturn/Uranus opposition, when the DJIA stalled just around the 1000 mark, and did not surpass that high for another six years.
On October 8, 1974, Saturn and Uranus were within 9 degrees of their first exact waning square as President Gerald Ford introduced the "Whip Inflation Now (WIN)" campaign as the first effects of inflation's impact of OPEC's oil embargo of 1973 that had resulted in a quadrupling of crude oil prices and sent the U.S. economy into a deep recession.
During the exact hits of the waning square, the DJIA struggled, and although the index climbed above 1000 in 1976, it did not surpass the 1973 high of 1067 until a major bull market began in 1982.

Beginning in the zodiac sign of Sagittarius, this cycle has a theme of freedom, exploration and foreign influence. And, certainly this is reflected in the global expansion of trading due to increasing prevalence of electronic trading platforms and the elaborate, new methods traders have devised to trade, with virtually unfettered freedom.
Just a few months before the initial conjunction (first exact in February 1988), "program trading" was the culprit in the DJIA's largest-ever daily loss of 508 points, or 22.6%, on October 19, 1987. Program traders had developed schemes to trade the new stock index futures contracts, launched in 1982, to protect physical stock portfolios. When the stock market started going south that morning, all the program traders sold futures, and simply accelerated the decline.
The dot.com/online trading boom among individual investors also took hold at the beginning of this cycle and culminated at the waxing square in 2000, with the DJIA and Nasdaq index of technology stocks both setting all-time highs. In freedom-loving Sagittarian fashion, the question throughout this period was whether we were truly entering a new paradigm of investing in which the promise of making money—not actually making money—was enough to justify enormous stock values. When the bubble burst, the answer clearly was "no."
The financial crisis of 2008 marks the Saturn/Uranus opposition, and the high in October 2007 was set as the impact of creative financing via credit default swap derivatives was starting to unravel. Although mainly devised by U.S. institutions, the derivatives were bought by investors the world over, and the crisis truly threatened to dismantle international finance. As in the previous two cycles, it took 5-6 years to surpass the DJIA record high set while Saturn and Uranus were in opposition.
Based on the previous two Saturn/Uranus cycles, the final shoe has yet to drop on the market, but we likely will be well aware of it as the two planets approach their waning square in 2021. Given this cycle's theme, one can speculate that the cause of the final collapse will be related to professional/institutional traders pushing the envelope of creative financing using derivatives on an international basis.

The fourth cycle between the DJIA and Saturn/Uranus begins when the planets are conjunct at 28 degrees Gemini in June 2032. Almost 20 years away, it will mark the time of a significant low in the DJIA if the pattern stays true to form. From a theme perspective, communication and duality are indicated by the sign Gemini. Could it be that the next cycle has something to do with communication that lets us be in two places at once? The ability to exist in two dimensions simultaneously? Communicate between two planets or two universes? Only time will tell.

In the garden
Planting perennials
Fall is the time to plant perennials including herbs. Because some favorites like basil and parsley are annuals planted in the spring, it's easy to forget that many herbs can be planted in the fall and enjoyed until Thanksgiving, or if the weather is mild like last year, all winter long. And herbs can always be planted in pots and brought inside. "Now is a very good time to get perennial herbs in the ground," says Nicole Schermerhorn, co-owner of A Thyme to Plant at Lavender Fields Herb Farm. "It's cool enough that you want to be outside working in your garden, but still warm enough for the herbs." "Typically we're also getting enough rain at this time of the year," adds Schermerhorn, "and you're home from vacation now so you can take care of your herbs and begin using them." Hardy perennials to plant now include rosemary, sage, thyme, chives, fennel, mints, and parsley. The fennel and the mint will die back over the winter but come back in the spring. "Planting now allows the herbs to establish roots over the winter," says Schermerhorn. "They'll flush out new growth in the spring." Herbs can be planted in dedicated herb gardens, mixed with vegetables, or added to flower beds and borders. Their various textures and colors can be very attractive, and many people enjoy putting fragrant herbs along walks or driveways where they can easily be touched to release their scents. Culinary herbs should be planted near your kitchen so that harvesting them is easy and convenient. You'll use them more often. In choosing a site, remember that most herbs require full sun, from 4 to 6 hours a day minimum, good drainage, and good air circulation. Good drainage is so important that Schermerhorn recommends planting herbs in raised beds. "Clay soil," she says, "does not provide good drainage." She recommends a planting medium of one-third organic matter such as compost, one-third topsoil, and one-third builders' sand. "Make sure it's builders' sand," says Schermerhorn. "It won't compact like play sand so it adds drainage." Don't mulch herbs. "We put a handful of organic compost around our plants to dress them up and improve the soil," says Schermerhorn. "Herbs do not like wet feet, and all mulch does in winter is keep their feet wet." In fact, most herbs are considered drought-tolerant, though some moisture is needed during dry spells to keep the plants growing. In general, annuals require more moisture than perennials. Herbs also don't require much fertilizer. Over-fertilizing an herb can produce growth that is too rapid, making the plant more susceptible to disease or insect problems and diluting the concentration of essential oils that produce the taste in culinary herbs. Herbs in pots are the exception. They should be lightly fertilized once a month during their growing season. Using your herbs is important to keeping them healthy. Evergreen herbs can be cut and enjoyed in recipes or vases all winter. "Herbs are designed to be used," says Schermerhorn. "Cutting them encourages new growth, so keep using your herbs." |

Disney has spent the past few years in search of that certain something; that 'Disney Magic.' It's been a slow process. From The Princess and the Frog to Tangled to Wreck-it Ralph, the studio took slow steps, welcoming its princesses and fairy tales and musical numbers back into the fold. Every film was an improvement on the last, but none of them had anywhere near the charm or lasting appeal of the early '90s highs of the "Disney Renaissance."

Because the 39-room building is a curvilinear vision in black and white, guests can work in high-tech peace and the rooftop terrace offers 360° views.

The Audi Parking System (APS) makes parking easier. An intermittent warning tone indicates how far the car is from an obstacle. As the distance decreases, the warning tones become faster. It first sounds when the car is just over 5 feet from the obstacle and sounds continuously when only 8 inches remain. The APS uses ultrasonic sensors that can be installed at the rear as well as the front of the car, depending on the model. It can be switched off via a button on the instrument panel for special situations such as stop-and-go traffic. When the reverse gear is selected, APS is switched on automatically.

Kittery is situated between the Atlantic Ocean and the Piscataqua River just north of the New Hampshire border. Settled in 1632 by the British, it is Maine's oldest settlement. Many of the state's oldest homes are located here, and diverse examples of fine architecture abound. The First Congregational Church in Kittery Point, circa 1730, is Maine's oldest remaining house of worship. Shipbuilding began in Kittery in the 17th century, and the first ship commissioned by the U.S. Navy was launched from here in 1777.
This coastal town has long been a gathering place for summer tourists, and in the 1800s it was the getaway of choice for a number of famous artists and writers. Kittery's sandy beaches and stunning ocean views still draw visitors by the thousands. Juxtaposed with the cobblestone streets, quaint pubs, and antique shops of old Kittery are the more than 120 stores of the Kittery Outlets, located on coastal Route 1. Shoppers can find everything—from outdoor gear to fine china—on this mile-long strip of brand name shops. Many items are marked 20 - 60 percent below the prices found in regular retail stores.

Reviewed Dec 1, 2013
Wendy M | Bend, Oregon
We unexpectedly found ourselves staying overnight in Portland and had our dog with us. We know to seek out La Quintas not only for our dog, but for us! We had a great night sleep on a great bed and were even allowed to check out late as we didn't check in until the wee hours of the morning. We'll keep visiting this chain, especially when we have our little fido.

"Great place if you have a dog"
Reviewed Nov 30, 2013
kamiak | Seattle
We recently stayed at this hotel over the weekend. Walking down the hall was reminiscent of visiting a dog kennel. Barks came from nearly every door we walked past. The hotel had an odd chemical smell in the hallways and rooms. Whatever it was caused me to wake up each morning incredibly stuffed up. Upon our return one night, there was a dirty towel in the corner of the elevator. In our Mother's room, someone had unplugged both the phones . In our room, a lamp was unplugged and the two clocks had different times - clearly no one inspects the rooms before guests arrive. As for sleep, the bed was comfortable, but the heaters in the room were loud and difficult to regulate. The tub in our room would not drain, and was chipped. The breakfast room was packed with guests in pajamas and bare feet. Food was picked over, which was probably a good thing. I am thankful tonight to be back in my own home. Personally, I am sure this place is ok, especially if you have a dog, are traveling with a kid's sports team, or are a trucker...but probably about $25 per night more than it should be.

This La Quinta has some great things going for it: 24-hour pool, better breakfast than many La Quintas, good layout. The bed felt a little old but was still comfortable. The location is an odd choice, but I was in the Pearl District within 10 minutes and downtown in 15.

After driving over 10 hours, we did not feel like driving to a restaurant to get something to eat. There was a deli closeby where we could get some salad, sandwiches, and soup. The food was good. We were very happy with the room at La Quinta.

Happy Thanksgiving from BioLogos
A video message from President Deborah Haarsma.
The Resource Finder has powerful filtering features — check out the tutorial to learn more.
A video message from President Deborah Haarsma.
In this series, Ryan Pettey offers several clips from his powerful documentary "From the Dust". This feature-length film is divided up into various sections, each of which wrestles with the difficult problems that arise when reconciling Scripture with the theory of evolution. A light of hope dawns on the science-faith conversation, however, as scientists and theologians engage in honest dialogue about tough issues such as the interpretation of Genesis, the nature of the Fall, and the idea of random design. Their profound insights are sure to enlighten all minds, raise deeper questions, and provoke new thought.
What's the evidence for the idea that God exists or doesn't exist? I think anyone who's looked at that would conclude that the strong atheist position of saying, "I know there is not God" is not an easy one to sustain.
This entry was originally posted on February 13, 2010. While the question of evolutionary predisposition toward religious belief may be challenging, Christians need not see it as threatening. In fact, this is actually a Pauline notion that is explored in Romans 1, where Paul claims that it is in mankind's nature to "know God".
This entry was originally posted on February 17, 2010. In this video conversation, Jeff Schloss makes the observation that when we use the term "evolution", it is not always exactly clear what we are actually discussing unless we denote the intended usage.
This entry was originally posted on February 11, 2010. In this brief video, Professor Schloss addresses what he sees as the two primary reasons that evangelical Christians oppose evolutionary theory.
We're excited to announce that the documentary From the Dust can now be purchased and rented through the iTunes Store!
It should be noted that indeterminacy does not imply that God does not have foreknowledge of future events. Christians ought not to be uncomfortable with the idea of God interacting with his creation through chance.
There's a word beneath the water, and the Bow River belongs to God. Have you been listening?
In this video Conversation, Denis Alexander asserts that contemporary Christians are not taking the early chapters of Genesis seriously enough.
In this video conversation, N.T. Wright discusses how the Enlightenment worldview -- which clearly separates God from the world -- has impacted our view of Scripture, and why cleaning the "spectacles" through which we view the world can help us see both Scripture and the world more clearly.
In this video Conversation, Joel Hunter articulates the importance of raising a child that can garner knowledge from a variety of sources and to be able to study science with integrity—that is, to be able to pursue the truth to where it leads.
Yesterday, biology professors Randy Moore and Sehoya Cotner raised the concern that workshops focused on evolution-related training do not reach creationism-based biology teachers. Today, we'd like to focus on BioLogos' efforts to address that divide through our Biology by the Sea workshops.
During his seminary education, Dr. Murphy also gained a deeper understanding of Luther's theology of the cross, and he realized that it's really the best way to approach the science and theology dialogue.
As an Evangelical and a scientist, Katharine Hayhoe is already a member of a rare breed. As a climate change researcher who is also married to an evangelical Christian pastor, she is nearly one of a kind.
In our sixth BioLogos videocast, we take a look at the age of the Earth. We explain four methods scientists have used to determine that age: tree ring, lake varve, radiometric, and seafloor spread dating, and also offer some theological insight on how an old earth can fit with the first chapters of Genesis.
In this talk, originally delivered at the BioLogos President's Circle meeting in October 2012, Dr. John Walton discusses the origin stories of Genesis 1-3, and why their focus on function and archetypes mean there is no Biblical narrative of material origins.
As he endeavored to learn more, David was intrigued by Francis Collins book The Language of God because Francis did not present evolution as a rival theory to Christian faith, but as something that described God's method of creation.
In Washington DC, Church of the Advent teamed up with The Trinity Forum to offer a series of lectures exploring the synergy between modern science and Christian Faith. This presentation by psychiatrist Curt Thompson and philosopher James K.A. Smith addressed the process of Christian discipleship and spiritual formation through the lens of neuroscience.
What are the best ways to spark productive conversations about science and faith? Certainly there are books, articles, blogs (like this one), and podcasts. But there are particular advantages to using film.

"The legalization of the termination of pregnancy is none other than the authorization given to an adult, with the approval of an established law, to take the lives of children yet unborn and thus incapable of defending themselves. It is difficult to imagine a more unjust situation, and it is very difficult to speak of obsession in a matter such as this, where we are dealing with a fundamental imperative of every good conscience — the defense of the right to life of an innocent and defenseless human being."- Bl.

"Throughout history, poverty is the normal condition of man. Advances which permit this norm to be exceeded— here and there, now and then— are the work of an extremely small minority, frequently despised, often condemned, and almost always opposed by all right-thinking people. Whenever this tiny minority is kept from creating, or (as sometimes happens) is driven out of a society, the people then slip back into abject poverty. This is known as 'bad luck.'"- Robert A.

Four years after the last major conflict in the region, Israel and Hamas have once again been on the brink of war in Gaza, though an Egypt-brokered cease-fire appears to be holding, paving the way for peace talks in future. So what is the group, and what does it hope to achieve by its rocket attacks on Israeli targets?
What is Hamas?
Hamas is a militant fundamentalist Islamic organization operating in the West Bank and Gaza. The name Hamas is an acronym for "Harakat Al-Muqawama Al-Islamia," or Islamic Resistance Movement in English. The word "hamas" means zeal, or enthusiasm, in Arabic.
Hamas has sections dedicated to religious, military, political and security activities. It runs a social welfare program, and operates a number of schools, hospitals and religious institutions.
What are its aims?
The goal of Hamas is an Islamic fundamentalist Palestinian state. Its manifesto advocates the destruction of the state of Israel, and calls for the raising of "the banner of Allah over every inch of Palestine."
Hamas members, like most Palestinian factions and political parties, insist that Israel is an occupying power, and that the group is simply trying to liberate the Palestinian territories.
"The Palestinian people were living in peace and security, then the Israelis occupied the land," Khaled Meshaal, the political leader of Hamas, told CNN. "According to international law, and according to the Divine laws, the Americans and all peoples, when they are occupied, they resist with all that they have."
When an Israeli airstrike killed the group's military leader, Ahmed Ja'abari, this month, Hamas warned Israel that it had "opened the gates of hell on itself."
Meshaal has previously said the group would support a Palestinian state based on the borders that existed prior to the 1967 Six-Day War, during which Israeli troops occupied Gaza, the West Bank, the Golan Heights and East Jerusalem, with East Jerusalem as its capital. However, he has stopped short of backing a full two-state solution, including acceptance of Israel's right to exist.
The refusal of Hamas to recognize the state of Israel is one reason why it has rejected peace talks in the past. In 1993, it opposed the Oslo Accords, a peace pact between Israel and the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO).
Speaking following the most recent outbreak of violence, Mark Regev, spokesman for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, said: "Hamas is an enemy of peace. [It] is dedicated to destroying the state of Israel."
But Robert Blecher, Israel and Palestine Program Director at the International Crisis Group, said claims that Hamas wanted to see Israel "wiped off the map" were outdated.
"The document still exists as their official charter, but many people in Hamas view it is a historical document, an artifact, rather than as an active program" since Hamas has agreed to other commitments that go against it in more recent years.
Even so, it is unlikely to be altered any time soon. "It can't be changed under the current political conditions, because if they gave in to the demands of others to change it, it would look like they were making a concession," Blecher told CNN.
What are Hamas' origins?
Hamas was established in 1987 -- during the First Intifada, or uprising -- by Sheikh Ahmed Yassin.
Yassin and other activists linked to Egypt's Muslim Brotherhood movement had set up a network of charities, schools and clinics in the West Bank and Gaza in the 1960s, '70s and '80s. Initially, their activities were encouraged by some Israeli politicians, who saw the group as an alternative to the PLO and a way of lessening the influence of its leader, Yasser Arafat.
However, the founding charter of Hamas, published in 1988, called for jihad, or holy war, against Israel.
The following year, Yassin -- a partially blind quadriplegic -- was convicted by an Israeli court of ordering Hamas members to kidnap and kill two Israeli soldiers. He was released from jail in 1997 as part of a prisoner exchange, traded for two Israeli agents captured in Jordan during an attempt to assassinate Khaled Meshaal. Yassin was killed in an Israeli airstrike in 2004, after surviving an earlier attempt on his life the previous year.
The group began carrying out suicide bombings on civilian and military Israeli targets in the mid 1990s. According to the Council on Foreign Relations, Hamas is believed to have killed more than 500 people in more than 350 separate terrorist attacks since 1993.
What are the Izzedine al Qassam Brigades?
The Izzedine al Qassam Brigades are the armed wing of Hamas, responsible for carrying out attacks on Israel. Like the wider Hamas organization, the aim of the Brigades is the creation of a Palestinian state.
Beginning in the mid-1990s, the Brigades began a campaign of attacks against military targets and civilians that included suicide bombings, car bombings, and rocket attacks in Israel, as well as attacks on Israeli settlers in the West Bank, before Israel's pullout, in Gaza.
However, since Hamas took over Gaza in 2007, the Brigades have "transformed from an underground guerrilla organization into a uniformed military force designed to protect Gaza from outside attack," according to the International Crisis Group.
