from Vernal Equinox to Vernal Equinox as our horizontal axis and we will use 0 to 100
as our vertical. If we draw in the two 45-degree Angles corner to corner we have a shape
that looks like a box with an x in it. The two 45’s will meet at the exact center of both
price and time at $50 on the Autumnal Equinox or September 21st. If we bisect this
square again with a horizontal line going left to right at $50, and a vertical line going
ww
straight up from the Autumn Equinox we can create four smaller squares with half of the
w.
x already completed. If we complete these smaller boxes with the missing 45-degree line
Co
we will find that these points come out at $25 and $75 in price and also 25% and 75% in
time or Summer Solstice to Winter Solstice (June 21st to December 21st). If we take these
sm
4 points, which are $25 on June 21st, $75 on June 21st, $25 on December 21st and $75 on
oE
Decembers 21st and make a new square, we find that our new square is exactly half the
co
size of our former square set within the ¼ points in terms of both price and time. Our new
square also maintains the exact center of our old square at $50. This new square is now
no
an exact musical octave of the old square because it’s based upon powers of 2 or is
m
exactly ½ our old square. This tells us that if we want to find a square that is within our
ic
old square that we will only find it between the two Solstice points in the year! If we
s.c
wanted to enlarge the original square (to find an outer square) we would again follow the
om
natural law of the musical octave, i.e. powers of 2. The first part of the problem is easy
because we know that the next square is going to be twice as large as our old square. So
this means that we are moving up from a one-year square to a two-year square in terms of
time but this does not answer where in time this new square begins and ends. To calculate
where this larger square begins and ends we have to use the rule “as above so below”. In
57
other words, when we made the smaller square, we found that it existed within the larger
square at the 25% and 75% points in time, therefore March 21st to March 21st is within
the ¼ points of the larger square above it. In our one-year square, a ¼ of time is 90-
degrees or 91.3125 solar days. This means that a ¼ of time in the next larger square is
180-degrees or 182.625 solar days, i.e. twice as big. If we add and subtract 180-
degrees/days from our smaller square running March to March, we will find that our two-
ww
year square begins and ends at the Autumnal Equinox. The same is true for a 4-year, 8-
w.
year, 16-year square, etc. Getting back to the inner squares, a 90-degree square (1/2 of
Co
our 180-degree Summer Solstice to Winter Solstice and winter back to summer circle)
would begin and end 45-degrees after the Summer Solstice and 45-degrees before the
sm
this means we would have another (90-degree) square running inside the (180-degree)
Solstice squares beginning on August 5th and ending November 5th. Then just as we have
co
two 180-degree Solstice squares running from Summer to Winter, then Winter back to
no
Summer, we also have four 90-degree squares running from August 5th to November 5th,
m
November 5th to February 5th, February 5th to May 5th and May 5th back to August 5th.
