On Black Monday, 19 October 1987, the Dow Jones index closed with a 22.60% loss. This was the biggest one-day fall in Wall Street prices in the 20th century. The causes were cyclical and not structural as in 1929. In 1986, the American authorities decided to lower the dollar, which lost almost 50% of its value. In 1987, they decreed the opposite by increasing interest rates. Government bonds, which were risk-free, had a guaranteed return of almost 10%. This rate caused a craze for these investments and a sharp fall in other stock market values.

  The plus of the Solar Revolution

  • The Moon, Master of the period, takes power with its conjunction with the Midheaven (of SR).
  • Mars (of SR) increase its force by its conjunction with House IV (of SR). It is conjoined to natal Pluto in natal House VIII. It is of Very Evil quality in Cancer, its sign of Fall (at its two positions).

  These both dominant and malefic energies presaged important financial losses connected to the Stock Exchange, because the natal Moon is opposed to the two Suns. This opposition means the end (the two Suns close to the natal House VIII) of the benefits (the Moon close to the natal House II, that of finance) of Stock Exchange speculation (The two Suns governors of the two Houses V, these of speculation).
