My Misteak

OOps! A few years ago I staked a claim to the invention of a New Science. Well, it appears that I was late to the game. It seems my "New Science of Econostrology" was anticipated (I shoulda known it I guess!)
by astro-finance specialist Raj Kumar Sharma, a prominent quack medical practicioner in Mumbai, India; shown here with Miss Germany in an undated picture. As he says:
"Leo is the sign of the sun and the sun is the father in Indian astrology ... But the son (Saturn) and his father (the sun) don't get along ..."

So, it's pretty obvious, the Mumbai Stock Exchange (SENSEX) was due to take a dump, as we see in the Chart, (The graph of the SENSEX, that is).
The other chart, the Astrological Chart shows the heavenly positions of the Sun, Saturn, and also Mercury, and assorted other mischief-makers, all in the sign of Leo

As Quakestar.org says, in their analysis of Election Day 2008(!):"The Unusual Week of Oct. 6th. 2008 -The Stock Market Crash- If anyone were ever to doubt astrological cause -let them examine the chart of the 2008 Stock Market Crash. The placement of the planets looks to all appearances like a Shakespeare play stage scene:... The stagecraft is so poised by the playwright that the evil group is gazing exactly quartile (90 degrees) across the boards to 74 degrees West longitude which is the global location of the New York Stock Exchange."

All this adds up, pretty clearly, to a major drop in the stock market (go figure). Now, if you'll notice, the SENSEX has been headed down since sometime in January, whereas, if my limited knowledge of the Zodiac hasn't led me astray, all these various heavenly bodies haven't been stuck in Leo for the last ten months. If I'm right, then, using the Principle of Post hoc, ergo propter hoc, then it all becomes clear. The falling of the market has caused the Sun to enter the House of Leo.
Of course, as per my motto; I Could Be Wrong. If so, I apologize. Still, it looks to me suspiciously as though, given all the various dates and times, Pt. Sharma has been just a little retro in his analysis. All well and good to say "See, I could have told you this was going to happen!", after it's happened. Sort of like when the racetrack touts hand you their "predictions" after the eighth race. Lot of good it does you then! Still, it's pretty clear, and I cannot deny it, the financio-astrologio-medico-man was practicing Econostrology long before I "invented" it. Therefore, in an attempt to make amends, I hereby award to Pt. Raj Kumar Sharma the First Annual Post-facto Prediction Prize for Econostrology. Way to go Raj!
