Most Gann followers know that Gann used astrology and that the most successful traders use it in their trading, as it is the hidden undercurrent that runs the markets. J.P. Morgan, the founder of the Morgan bank, was fond of saying that “anyone can be a millionaire, but to become a billionaire, you need an astrologer.” He had a private astrologer, Evageline Adams, who helped him tremendously.
It is a little known fact that W. D. Gann went to India and studied Indian Sidereal Astrology. In his notebooks we find sketches of astrological symbols on his charts; and in his memoirs, he discusses his journey to India. In fact, the famous Gann wheel was first used by tea merchants in seventeenth century India. Gann also discussed the importance of using the starting date of when the first futures contract for a commodity began trading for predicting the future of that commodity. To my knowledge, there are very few individuals who use these starting dates to successfully time the markets even though my experience in using Indian Sidereal astrology has shown that these charts are invaluable.
Below is a brief introduction to Indian Sidereal Astrology, an overview of Indian time cycles and how they can be used, and a forecast through 2017 for the U.S. stock market based on this system.
The Western Zodiac vs. the Indian Zodiac
Indian astrology is over 5000 years old and has its foundation in ancient science. Parashara, a great seer or ancient scientist, intuited the laws of space and time responsible for the evolution of human consciousness and recorded his findings in a book called the Brihat Hora Sastra.
The first major difference between Indian and Western astrology lies in the calculation of the longitude of the planets. Ancient Indian astrologers observed that the equinoxes and solstices moved backward by one degree every 72 years, an astronomical phenomenon now known as precession. Over time this has resulted in a difference of slightly over 23 degrees between the tropical Zodiac, used by Western astrologers, and the sidereal Zodiac, used by Indian astrologers. In essence, the two systems differ in their choice of a zero point for Aries–the Western system uses the position of the spring equinox, while the Indian system uses a fixed star. Thus when the Sun is moving into Aries according to the Western system, it is still at 6 degrees Pisces in the Indian system.
GANN WAS FAMILIAR WITH THE HINDU SQUARE OF LIFE – HE CALLED IT THE SQUARE OF NINE
Each of us sees the universe differently and so we can safely say that the universe begins from each one of us and expands outward. So we can consider our self a zero point in the Square of the Universe and all the planets and stars surrounding us. There are basically 108 basic energies affecting each one of us in our life measuring 3.333 degrees each on the Square of life. Each of these 108 energies has a unique vibration that relates to each individual’s vibration at the moment of birth. This vibration is what begins your life at the moment of birth. This 1st vibration is followed by a 2nd vibration and a 3rd until it covers your whole life and it reaches 360 degrees of completion. The first vibration forms specific frequency and vibration under which a person is born. This vibration will follow that person throughout his or her life. This key vibration is the basis upon which every living species will proceed forward. Nine of these vibrations cover each one of the 12 quadrant in the Square of life for a total of 108 unique vibrations. If placed in the Square in sequence the 108 
vibrations ( or wave movements) will form a spiral of numbers around the square as shown in the diagram. If the whole square of life is formed with this vibration in a spiral in the square it will look like the table as shown in the diagram. These are known as the 108 key vibrations of the orbit of the Moon, the Sun and so on. Back in the 1930’s when the Stock market was troubled there was a market analyst by the name of WD Gann who studied these patterns of the spiral and tried to apply it to the Market patterns. He was successful in predicting 80% of the price movements of futures in the market. A closer examination will 
reveal that the patterns that he was following on the spiral was not so unique after all, because he if we followed Gann’s squares after every similar starting number the patterns will repeat themselves every 9 days, 9 months, or 9 years and that is nothing more than the Vedic Code of numbers or the Hindu Vedic Numerals. Lets take a look at Gann’s theories.
Gann said “ Through the law of vibration every stock and commodity in the market place moves in its own distinctive sphere of activities, as to intensity, volume and direction. All the essential qualities of its evolution are characterized in its own rate of vibration. Stocks and commodities, like atoms, are really centers of energies, therefore they are controlled mathematically. They create their own field of action and power, power to attract and repel, which explains why certain stocks and commodities at times lead the market and turn dead at other times. Thus, to speculate scientifically i
t is absolutely necessary to follow Natural Law. Vibration is fundamental; nothing is exempt from its law. It is universal, therefore applicable to every class of phenomena on the globe. Thus, I affirm every class of phenomena, whether in nature or in the market, must be subject to the universal laws of causation, harmony and vibration.”
The Square of 9 is basically a spiral of numbers starting with the number one in the center (or apex of the Great Pyramid) with the number 2 immediately to the left. The rest of the numbers spiral around the center in a clockwise fashion to the number 9, which completes the first cycle of numbers around the center. 10 through 25 completes the 2nd cycle, 26 through 49 completes the 3rd , etc…
Basically, if you want to move around the coordinates on the Gann square you take the number you are interested in ( such as the all time High or Low price) take the square root of the number, then add or subtract 2 from the root and resquare the result. Example: Lets say that we are interested in the price 664 (which is in the vertical column straight up from the center). The square root is 25.768 + 2 = 27.768^2 = 771 which is the number directly above 664 or one full 360 degree cycle out from center. If we subtracted 2 from the root and re-squared the number (25.768-2= 23.768^2 = 565 ) we would get 565 which is directly below 664 or one full 360 degree cycle in towards center. Incorporating the Gann Emblem with this technique, allows us to calculate coordinates that are conjunct (360 = +/- 2 from the root), opposition (180 = +/- 1 from root #), trine (120= +/- .666) (240= +/- 1.333), square (90 = +/- .5) (270= +/- 1.5) and sextile (60 = +/- .333) (300 = +/- 1.666). This technique is extremely useful for finding coordinate squares on the Gann Wheel that are making hard aspects to a previous position on the wheel. The important parts of the Square are the center, the Cardinal Cross composed of the vertical and horizontal rows that intersect at the middle of the square, and the lines extending at 45 degrees, 135 degrees, 225 degrees, and 315 degrees that constitute the Fixed Cross. The Cardinal Cross and Fixed Cross are used to determine likely points of support and resistance.
Within the circle forms the square, there is an inner circle and an inner square, as well as an outer square and an outer circle which prove the Fourth Dimension in working out price movements.” So far, we have covered the inner circle ( The Earth’s Orbit around the Sun) and the inner square ( Historic high & low coordinates on the square itself). The outer circle includes all of the planets and is the Zodiac starting at the left side of the square also on March 21st.

His calculations are based on the cycle theory an on mathematical sequences. History repeats itself. That is what is have always contended,– that in order to know and predict the future of anything you only have to look up what has happened in the past and get a correct base or stating point. A verse from the bible states
The thing that hath been, it is that which shall be; and that which is done, is that which shall be done: and there is no new thing under the sun.That which has been is now and that which is to be hath already been.
This makes it plain that everything works according to past cycles, and that history repeats itself in the lives of men, nations and the stock market. We are told that the great continent of Atlantis, for centuries submerged under the Atlantic Ocean, possessed a civilization greater than ours of today. The people of Atlantis had their telephones, wireless, radios and airplanes. There is considerable truth in that statement. According to mathematical sequence, the wonderful inventions that brought comfort and convenience to the Atlantians are due to appear again, and we are now only on the threshold of another great age.

Sir Isaac Newton’s first law of motion and energy is the Newtonian law of Karma. In the Square of Life, we can see that the universal energies are affecting each one of us just as much as each one of us is affecting the universal energies. In Vedic science, we refer to this as Conscious Energy. The Universal energy or creative forces begin first from the egg or the “dot” or the zero point also referred to as the Hiranygharba. The energy then radiates outward into the universal arena as the body, the home, the village, the county, the state, the country, the Earth, the Moon, the Sun the solar system of planets, the constellations, galactic consciousness and eventually universal consciousness. This is why each and every person is unique in all ways, as indicated by unique finger prints and so on. So it is logical to say that the universe began from a “dot” or an egg. In a nutshell, the universal consciousness is just a reflection of each one of us.
Each of us sees the universe differently and so we can safely say that the universe begins from each one of us and expands outward. So we can consider our self a zero point in the Square of the Universe and all the planets and stars surrounding us.
There are basically 108 basic energies affecting each one of us in our life measuring 3.333 degrees each on the Square of life.

The first vibration forms specific frequency and vibration under which a person is born. This vibration will follow that person throughout his or her life. This key vibration is the basis upon which every living species will proceed forward. So also the stock market has its vibrations. The Vedic Codes have been able to illustrate this reality in the form of Vedic Mathematics. I hope every reader will realize that the stock market has an order that works with the cycles of the universe as well as our own personal cycles and vibrations. Each trading instrument is unique and each person is unique and so there is no set formula for a group of stocks or trading instrument.
