I was being sued in small claims court for the “dog attack” under, gross negligence along with pain and suffering in the amount of 9000.00 dollars. What the hell! Pain and suffering? The court date was set for the end of November along with a letter that stated my witnesses had to be subpoe ubp oenae naed d b y la la te O c tobe r.

The next next da y at work work, took a c all from from the the wife, wife, she was hys hysteri teric al, the the pol po lic e had taken the dog d og to a kennel to to hold until until the the trial trial as a “publ “pub lic nuis nuisa nce,” nc e,” i.e. i.e. the the d og had been arrested. Tried to calm her as much as possible over the phone, her main concern was how the kids would react when they found out. Told her not to worry, as I would br b rea k the the news ne ws to them, then then made ma de a rra ngements nge ments to ge t out of wor wo rk at 3 o’clock. The cover co ver story tory, whic whic h had to be c onc oc ted for for the the ki kids, ds, is that that the the dog wa s being checked out to make sure it was still a healthy dog. Lame I must admit but it’s the only story story that left it alone without me ha ving to lie. A few days later at work received another call from wife stating that Aunt Gertrude was hit by a bus, was in the hospital and not expected to make it. This on top of the dog incident began to weigh on me. Gertrude had always been wacky, her son was wa s a soc ial reta retarrd in pa rt bec a use use of o f her but to ge t hit hit by a b us? us?

As I sat down to figure it out the realization “hit me” that I was suppose to have purchased calls not puts… What?

Now let’s sa sa y y you ou ha ve Sa Sa turn turn op pos po sed Ura nus a t the sec sec ond of your upc upc oming So lar la r Return. Sa Sa turn is is Restric Restriction tion,, Co C o ld limitation limitations s, lets sa y this Sa turn falls in your se se c o nd house house o f ‘M oney one y Inc Income ome a nd Self Worth’ Worth’ for thus thus up c oming Sola Solarr Return. eturn. Us Using theses theses key words we have ‘Restrictions and Limitations in money and income.’ If you are the so le pr p ro vider vide r for your family this this is e xtre tre mely ris risky! ky! Here’s Here’ s the go o d news ne ws,, you c a n c hange ha nge it! it! By moving your physica physica l loc loc a tion tion a t the time time o f the Sola Solarr Return eturn you c a n shif shiftt Sa turn turn into ano a nother ther ar a re a o f life! life! Thus subve ub verrting the nega ne ga tive financ finan c ial influe influenc nc es. Still till this this a fflicte fflicted d Sa turn turn will will be somewhe ome wherre in the c har ha rts, ts, so so some hous ho use e (a rea of life) life) wil w illl ta ta ke a hit b ut not your fina financ nces es per pe r sa y. Thi This s system of ‘taki ‘taking ng cont co ntrrol of the the Solar Solar Return’ eturn’ is is used used by wealthy wealthy indivi ndividua dualls r d and astrologers alike. In this example Saturn could be moved into the 3 house of ‘c ommunica ommunic a tions’ tions’ wher whe re you yo u will will have diffic diffic ulties ulties,, but those those d ifficulti ifficulties es will will not be be financ financ ial. Lets loo k at this this from from the a dva ntage s side, or what c a n be c a lled lled the offensive side (opposed to the defensive side.) Bored in career 10 th house, there will d efinitely efinitely be c hange ha nges s if Ura nus (sudd (sudd en c hange ha nge)) is in there, there, but will will they they be b e goo g oo d o r bad? This is dependent on aspects made by other planets to the planet Uranus in the 10th. Lets sa y your Sun Sun in the So lar Re Re turn turn c har ha rt is in goo go o d a sp ec t to this Ura Ura nus in the 10 th a nd that tha t tha tha t is is the only a spec pe c t Ur Ura nus rec eives. eives. The c hanges hang es on ba la nce nc e wil w illl be g ood oo d and supportive to your overall goals. So as you can see, there are both offensive and defensive sides to a Solar Return, its no joking matter. If you stepped out in the street and saw a bus c oming oming what would you do? You would would ‘ get out of the the wa y’ you you would not ‘ stand there and take it like a man!’ The bea uty uty of the the Solar Solar Returns eturns is that that the the loc loc ation ation you you are are at, at that that sec sec ond, controls the year ahead. I have did bad Solar Returns purposely to note the affects, it is be st to exercise exercise c ontrol over ove r the the return. eturn. Bec a use use little little infor info rmation ma tion is o ut there on o n C hiro hiro n and a nd Tra nsp nsp luto I will will shar ha re with w ith you what wha t they they do when whe n pos po sitioned itioned in a house house C hiro hiro n “hea ls” the ar a rea of life life it is found in, in the Solar Return. Transpluto brings into focus, in order to better define and a ssimilate imilate the a rea of life life c o rresponding espo nding to the house house it is loc a ted a t in the the Solar ola r Return. eturn. You nee need d to include include thes these e bec ause ause they they do have ha ve an affec affec t a nd only only a few astr astrologers ologers a re keenl kee nly y awa re o f them. them. Lets ba c k up, We have ha ve a s a n example examp le Sa Sa turn turn op p osed by Ura Ura nus, nus, this this is known a s a n affl a fflicted icted Sa turn, turn, as well as a n affl a ffliic ted Ura nus bec be c a use use the 2 are are o ppos pp osed ed ea c h other. So any house you put this Saturn in will be shut down for the year, things in that a rea of life life wont wo nt wor wo rk out there wil w illl be har ha rd ships in that a rea . Sa Sa turn turn likes likes the 12 th house, the affects do not necessarily manifest as badly as they do in other areas, but here in this this example examp le the Ura Ura nus would wo uld go g o into into the 6 th so so we w e would w ould expec t chang c hange e (Ura (Ura nus) nus) to not be good go od (Sa (Sa turn turn op pos po sition) tion) in the the a rea of wo rk/hea k/he a lth (6 (6th) So So there a re tric tric ky situa ituati tions ons bes be st handled ha ndled by a true true professiona professional. l. 8

Was a c tually tually dep ress essed a bit for for the the next c oupl oup le of o f da ys. What What began to permeate my mind was that I should again use this time period for study, to make ma ke improveme nts a nd to study those those larger cyc c ycles les..

If Gann could not trade through that and I had a horrible time with huge losses throug through h the firs first pa ssa ge, ge , no wa y I a m going go ing to a ttempt it, have ha ve to sit this this out for fo r a c o uple months. months.

Sa turda turda y ca me, got some some hous ho usewo ewo rk done, do ne, went out and b ought oug ht one of those those fast set up pools, set that up in the backyard, had it filled by late afternoon. Being in high high spir spirit its s dec de c ided to tak ta ke the kids kids fis fishing, hing, pa c ked the gea ge a r, heade hea ded d off. O n thi this trip trip we went w ent to the c ity ity la la ke where where we w e rented rented a ba ttery ttery po wered b oa t (they have a 5 mile per hour speed limit.) As we pulled up there were a few of my old friends. friends.

Had been be en on o n the lake for about ab out an a n hour when it star started ted c loudin oud ing g up. up . The lake had been be en c a lm almos almostt lik like e glass glass; this this had tur turned to c hop a s the wind picked p icked up. After a nother nothe r half ha lf hour or so so we w e c ould see the storm storm clouds cloud s o ver the the tops to ps of the tree tree s. Decided to quit fishing, brought the poles in and began to start the electric motor. The battery was dead, it must be, because the motor would just not start, tried and tried, would not fire up. Thi This s was wa s a dilemma dilemma as we were were on the the other other side of o f the the lake. lake. There here was a pa ddl dd le in in the the bottom of the the boa t so I started tarted padd pa ddlling. This his was slow, low , tedious ted ious wor wo rk. The goa l was to beat bea t the the stor storm; m; it bec be c ame app a pparent arent that that the the battle battle would would be lost, lost, the the c loser loser it got go t the mor mo re streng trength th was wa s p ut into into p a dd ling. ling. The rains rains finall finally y hit hit us, us, it was wa s humi humiliating, ating, watchi wa tching ng the the col co ld rain rain hit hit the the chi c hilldren, dren, a ll I col co ld do d o wa s keep rowi ow ing. After a slow start the cold rain was now coming down in sheets, pounding us, had figur figured ed a bout bo ut a nother 5 to 7 minut minutes es a nd we would be a t the the doc d oc k, was wa s pa ddli dd ling ng a s har ha rd a s po ssible, which whic h is most most lik likely ely what wha t ca c a used used the pa p a d dle to br b rea k in in half ha lf.. Felt Felt like screaming out but held it together, did not want the kids to see me loose it. Gave the the teen-age tee n-agerr the the other half of the the pa p a ddl dd le a nd kept pa ddl dd ling. G ot the litt little le one to take the empty e mpty bait ba it buc ket and a nd beg b egiin gett ge ttiing the ra ra inwater nwa ter out of o f the bo a t, figur figured ed this this woul wo uld d a id us while while ta king king their mind, mind, some somewha whatt off the c old rain. Making it to the dock we were obviously more than soaked with cold rain. First thing thing to do was wa s to get g et them into into the c a r a nd turn turn the hea t on. Had them take off o ff their their rain soaked shirts to warm up faster. 31
Too Took k the the car c ar a few minu minutes tes to begin war wa rming ming up, up, as soon oo n a s we bega beg a n feeling feeling the heat hea t our mood moo d b ega eg a n to shi shift ft from from somb somber er to to b eing able a ble to see see the lilight at a t the the end e nd of the Tunnel, so-to so-to-s -spe pe a k. The rain rain bega be gan n to ta ta per pe r off, got bac ba c k out of the the ca r and load ed the fi fishing hing gear gea r from from the boa bo a t into into the c a r. Turned urned the boa b oa t keys keys in, in, tell telling ing them what wha t had hap pened pe ned.. They brought brought out some pa per pe rwork work saying aying that that if if I fil filled it out they they c ould ould refun refund d my money. “No thanks” just wanted to go home. Was tryi trying, ng, on o n the wa w a y home to liven liven up the moo mo o d a s much muc h as a s po ssible. Felt sorry orry for them having to wait through 20 minutes of hell. Of course it didn’t help we caught zero fish, fish, should should have ha ve p ut out the c a tfis tfish ba b a it but didn’t didn’ t bring bring it, it, figured figured we would wo uld just just use worms. The rain rain left, wanted to get ba c k to studyi tudying ng Ga nn’s book bo ok “The Tunnel unnel thr through the Air” but watched a movie with the family instead, still felt gloomy; faked watching the movie as my mind replayed the events of the day. That ni night lying ying in in bed be d it it hit hit me that that somethi something ng had had really really c hanged , just ust like Sourc ourc e B had sa id. Felt Felt I understood understood what wha t was wa s goin go ing g on now no w a nd would w ould have ha ve to whitt whittlle ba c k on wha t I was doing do ing to get g et in some some serious erious study. Sunda y ar a rrived, ived , after a fter brea brea kfa kfa st hit the the Tunnel studies studies.. When G a nn mentioned mentione d things like the annulifier or Marie the Anger of Mercy I would write down the page number numbe r a nd what wha t was wa s sa id as a s things things lik like e thes the se have ha ve to be important, next next I would link link up ea e a c h time time he tal ta lked a bout bo ut a thing, thing, lik like e I had a list of ever eve rythi ything ng a bout bo ut M.A.M a long with with pa ge numbers numbers so that tha t I c a n go ba c k and q uic uic kly kly see see other things things that may be impor impo rtant. ta nt. The key ke y of c o urs urse, in Tunne Tunnel, l, is figuring figuring out o ut what wha t he is re a lly lly talking talking a b o ut. I mea n, I know its impor impo rtant but b ut what wha t rea rea lly lly is is the a nnulif nnulifier ier,, how c a n that be b e figured o ut? Ther he re must b e some sort o f lo lo gic to his metho d s. So urc urc e R had ha d g iven me a d igital igita l vers version of o f Tunnel unne l tha thatt exis exists underground und erground , this this had made mad e it muc much h ea sier to sea sea rc h for cer ce rtain words like annu a nnuli lifi fier er bec a use use I did not no t have to keep re-rea e-rea ding the 420 420 pa ge bo ok. Sour Sourc c e R had a lso tol to ld me that the Ma ster C ourses ourses prima primarrily ily tied tied into into what wha t the for fo rwar wa rd in Tunnel wa s talking talking a b out a nd that I should lea ve thos tho se M a ster Cours C ourses es alone until until I had ha d Tunnel mostl mostly y figured figured out bec b ec a use use the secr sec rets tha thatt unloc unloc k that stuff stuff co me from from Tunnel, without without Tunnel Tunnel one o ne had ha d littl little e rea l c hanc e a t them. them.

R ga ve me me a few pri pric e cl c lues but told told me that that I just ust wasn’t wasn’t rea dy for for pri pric e and neede nee ded d to keep studying tudying a nd c ycle hunting hunting in the the Tunnel Tunnel bo ok.

I’m a nutshell the logic that I was using was that the was in the back of the book pertained to the DOW. Because there are cycles in the DOW there are cycles in Tunnel. When things are going on in the so called “war” there are things going on in the DOW. What I had notic notic ed from from my own ow n res resea ea rc h is that G a nn ca c an b be e tri tric ky on his da tes, tes, someti ome times mes in in his bo ok some somethi thing ng happ ha pp ens I know know is important but b ut he d oes oe s his bes be st to disguis dis guise e the da te. Like Like lets bo ok, as a s a n example, examp le, at the b a ttle ttle o f Bost Boston, on, which whic h is on th pa ge 358. He He gi g ives the date da te “J une 6 .” He makes ma kes you wo rk for the yea r, in other ca c a ses he wont give a date but something like “middle of May”, in other areas he tries his best to hide the da d a te, lik like e 3 page pa ges s la ter. ter. Ba c k to to Boston Boston of o f pa ge 35 358 8 we find “C olonel olone l Kenne Kennelwort lworth”, h”, this this individ individ ual ua l has p a rtic tic ula ula r mea ning I nee d to get g et figured figured o ut, what wha t is is this this “C o lonel Kennelwor Kennelwo rth’, a nother nothe r is is the “Sup “Sup reme C omma nde r” this must must als a lso mea n some somethi thing. ng. He used used his invention invention “sleep “sleep ing ga g a s” to a nnihil nnihila a te the enemy ene my here here which whic h obviousl o bviously y is some sort of tool, too l, some sort of some somethi thing ng tha t has purpo purpo se, that tha t was wa s important to G a nn. With With so so many ma ny frickin frickin varia varia b les the boo b oo k made mad e me sick sick yea rs a go when whe n I originall originally y rea d it, it, but when Sour Sourc c e Q a nd Sour Sourc c e B told told me it is is REALL ALLY Y a book bo ok of o f cycles c ycles,, a book bo ok of cyclic phenomena, when I began making headway through it. Then Then Sourc ourc e B insi nsisted I make a ser seriious study tudy of it, it, espe espec c ially ally duri during thes these e period periods s that I shouldn’t be trading, which is where I am at now. The plan plan was to split plit a half da y of stu studyi dying ng Tunnel unnel and a hal ha lf da y look oo king for for larger cyc c ycles les in my App le stoc stoc k, it it hit me though tho ugh that tha t this this violate Source ourc e B’s rul rule e of foc fo c us, us, focusing on one thing at a time. Decided it was best to use Sunday for Tunnel and the next “after wor wo rk study” study” for the larger Apple Ap ple c ycles yc les.. Headed back to date matching and ephemeris checking. Put about, no less than 5 str stra a ight hours in on it when the doo d oo rb ell ra ra ng, wa ited ited for the wife o r kids kids to get g et it but no one c a me so so got g ot up to a nswer nswer it. it.

Went over to the thinking couch to work this out in my head, just laid there thinking how he would code it. it.
