Raj Time and Cycles
The sudden sharp declines in the last few days were triggered by the "Mars biblical Passover (transiting) the 12/26/19 Solar Eclipse", which has caused Tragedy, Panics and Crisis in the past including 9/11/01.
From my 5/5/13 blogpost on Mars and the Dragon:
"In Vedic Astrology, there's an ancient Dragon that was split in a
fierce battle into two parts, the upper half of the dragon's Body, Rahu
is the Moon's ("True") North Node and the lower half of the body is
Ketu, the Moon's South Node, which causes the Solar and Lunar Eclipses"
It takes Rahu and Ketu 18.6 years to go through all 12 signs and return to the same sign position.
When Rahu is in certain degrees of Sagittarius and Ketu is in certain degrees of Gemini (in Vedic Astrology), we often see global tragic & crisis events.
This is an 18.6 Year Cycle, so this doesn't happen too often.
The 18.6 Year Cycle of Rahu in Saggitarius & Ketu in Gemini:
1. 1945: Bombing of Hiroshima, 8/6-9/45
2. 1963: Assassination of President Kennedy, 11/22/63
3. 1982: Aids Virus
4. 2001: Twin Towers, 9/11/01 was triggered by Mars Passover the 12/26/19 Solar Eclipse.
5. 2020: Corona Virus, 2/22/20 was triggered by Mars Passover the12/26/19 Solar Eclipse.
