Economic crisis: Cosmos and people - стр. 28

We have to remind that in 1921 Saturn and Jupiter were in conjunction. It was the intense activity that American literature called the "Roaring Twenties." Emotionally eclipsed mind started to dominate, although there were almost no sunspots (Wolf number in 1921 was 26, in 1922 – 14, 1923 – 6). Young and old played on stock exchanges. Of the 120 million Americans 30 million played on the stock exchanges and a half million had accounts in brokerage companies. As it often happens while playing or gambling, the most part of what you have is to be lost, and therefore money was borrowed. Newspapers wrote about winning in the system of interpersonal relations and they were talking about them more often as well. The hormones were demanded. But those who were forced to drown fear turned to be psychopaths – it was the included psychological mechanism of repression. So, human psyche was often in such situations. People just did not see and did not want to see the reality. They were waiting for money, big money.

It was during those years when the excessive optimism that led to that desire to get rich most evolved in the confidence that it could be easily done with the help of speculation. Under this need the update of the current financial and organizational structure was required. But then the solar activity started growing. In 1927 Wolf number equaled 69, in 1928 – 78, and in December 1929 it reached 108. Physiology of people had become different, and the habit of playing at the market remained.

Crash unfolded in strict accordance with the increase in solar activity and behavior patterns of hysteroid accentuations.

In June 1929 solar activity began to decline: Wolf number in June was 72, in July – 70, in August – 66, in September – 34, so the solar activity fell twice. Market participants cheered. Optimism began to grow. But the subsequent increase in solar activity again brought confusion in the head: October – 54, November – 81, December – 108. Besides, the planets were in such position that rocked people's minds both in the direction of positive and negative emotions. Historical optimism and cosmic events in 1921 began to pass. Jupiter and Saturn began to approach their opposition and in unison that great movement of exchange began to change the focus of its trends. But any analyst must take into consideration the influence of gravitational forces, and the influence of the electromagnetic activity of the Sun. These values are not linked by a linear dependence. But they resonate with each other cyclically over 144 years. These are cyclical resonances. These factors were unfavorable in 1929 for market growth. They made other people qualitatively different.
