APR 25, 2005 - The NYSE & Masonic Astrology makes for some timely reading in these days of market jitters. It goes back over two hundred years to the day the New York stock exchange opened, back on May 17, 1792. It was the one day in that year when the Sun would rise conjunct Alcyone, chief star among the Pleiades - which was no accident, according to Ed Kohout. He sees this celestial configuration presiding over the founding of the NYSE as the handiwork of Freemasonry, and lays out his reasoning at this website. Illustrated with a horoscope and numerous celestial maps of the event, this is mystical and heady stuff . . . and not a little irresistable.
