The Tunnel Thru the Air

W.D. Gann was not only the reason why I got into trading AND astrology, but the person who gave me an exit door from my workaholic job. Since I first saw his 1909 September Wheat chart and how he’d predicted the exact closing price months in advance (as documented by Ticker Magazine) since 1997 I’ve been hooked – pursuing the endless challenge of both astrology and trading. Because of this, W.D. Gann literally saved my life, and I do not say this at all lightly. I would not be here now had it not been for what he’d accomplished.

Of all his books, this one indeed is the one where he lets on that he used astrology as part of his trading system…and I’ve been down the rabbit hole and am still enjoying every twist and turn. Yes, I wish Gann would simply have put things in an unambiguous context. Given who he was and his magnificent accomplishments, W.D. Gann is the only person on the planet who could’ve compelled me to read what has to be one of the cheesiest love story adventures ever written…though I’ve never read one, I’m sure the typical, manufactured “bodice ripper” would’ve been far easier to endure. Still, it was fascinating reading on another level when paying microscopic level of attention to each paragraph, to decipher what it possibly could mean as a clue to his trading system.

My take? If you aren’t reading this book to find his hidden clues to his keys for trading stocks & commodities, well, save your money. If you are a man or woman on a quest for the holy grail of trading, I highly encourage you to spend time with this book, and be prepared to read it “50 times” as it takes that to distill the hidden essence.

While the writing would not measure up to todays standards, the author gives plenty of clues to his methods. One, timing is everything. I think you have to read the book along with the passages from the Bible. In this regard, your vision would be different than the authors. But, don’t lose track of why you are reading.

Its the best book to decode Ganns writings, but you need to have the original with the planes on the cover.
W.D.GANNS “THE TUNNEL THRU THE AIR” and
THE SQUARE OF 144

W.D.Gann had a number of calculator’s, the square of 144, the hexagon chart, square of 4, 360 degree chart, square of 52, square of 9 chart and 24 circle chart. Most of these charts have been discussed in previous articles; all Gann’s calculators are use for specific time periods. You can’t use them on swings charts or any other charts except bar charts, as there is no correct time period in other charts. Of course all the charts are interlink, as they are smaller or large time cycles or wheels with in wheels.

The front cover of “The Tunnel Thru the Air or Looking back from 1940”(TTTTA) is coded with the square of 144. On page 144 is a poem which has 144 words, each section out of the three sections on that page has 51,44 and 49 words.144 + 51 + 44 + 49 = 288 or twice 144.The last section is on page 145 which has 53 words. In total there is 36 lines of words, 36 x 4 equal’s 144. The total number of words is 197. 19 x 7 is 133, page 133 has the name of the person who wrote the poem.144 + 51 equals 195, page 195 starts chapter 16, the number of planes on the cover.
When you place the square of 144 plastic overlay (12 squares to the inch) over the front cover it measures 144 squares wide and 90 squares high. The 8 planes of the 16 are is the last square of 72 or the death square of 144. Only one plane is crashing in the tunnel, which is 48 squares up, and 96 squares across which is twice 48.These are the green lines or third lines. There are three poems on page 48; the middle one has 48 words. The total words in the three poems comes to 180.The other plane in the tunnel is at 60 and 120 lines or one sixth and one third of a circle. The tunnel, which is smaller on the left runs to the right get the widest between the 2 x 1 Gann angle and the 3 x 1 Gann angle, it finishes perfectly between those two angles. The plane furthest to the right is on the 126 line, page 126 is chapter 12 which squared is 144.The smallest plane is 108 lines across and 36 lines up, right in the middle of the death square.108 is 36 x 3.The inside cover has 4 planes each making the total of 16.These too have measurements of the square of 144. There’s more decoding in these page if you wish to go there, but most wont.

THE GREAT YEARLY TIME CYCLE: THE SQUARE OF 144:

The square of 144 plastic overlay can be placed over daily, weekly, monthly high-low charts, but is mainly used for monthly charts. The square of 12 is always important for working out time periods, as there are 12 months to a year, 12 astrological signs for each planet to complete the circle. There is 1440 minutes to a day, so to square that would give 2,073,600 minutes, in days it is 20,736 or 56 years, 9 months and 23 days, this is Gann’s great time cycle. One column in the square of 144 contains 144 squares. The 144 is the great square and works better than any other square. The overlay is divided into 9 sections.9 is the highest digit and all numbers add up to 9 from 1 to 9 which equals 45 which is 9. 1/2 is 20,736 is 10,368 days, 1/4 is 5,184 days, 1/8 is 2,592 days, 1/16 is 1296, which is the square root of 36, one thirty second is 646 days, 1/128 is 162 days, and 1/256 is 81 days the square of Nine. You know Gann when back 1000s of years to research time cycles, but to give you and example from the year 1492
(Columbus arrives in USA) to 1774 (USA independence) is 283 years. 5 times 20,736 is 103,680 days or 283.86 years. 8 times 20,736 from 1492 is 1946 the end of World War Two, 9 times is 2002, the crash in the stock market and a year after September 11 in 2001.You would notice that 283 is very close to the displacement factor of 286 covered in the “Pyramid” article. The USA stock exchange was formed on 17th May 1792, 4 times 20,736 is 227.08 years is 2019, the middle of the great depression as discussed in previous articles. I haven’t owned stocks for 20 years, as it’s just an expansion of the fiat monetary system or ponzzi scheme that exists today.

MONTHLY TIME PERIODS:
The Great Cycle in months is 681 months, 23 days.1/2 of this is 28 years, 9 months, and 23 days.1/4 is 14 years, 5 months and 8 days. 1/8 is 7 years, 2.5 months. 1/16 is 43 months and 6 days.

WEEKLY TIME PERIODS:
The Great Cycle in weeks is 2962, 2 days and 1/2 of this period is 1481 weeks, and 1 day.1/4 is 740 weeks.1/8 is 370 weeks and 2 days. 1/16 is 185 weeks and 1 day. 1/32 is 92 weeks and 4 days.1/64 is 41 weeks and 2 days.

THE MASTER NUMBERS:

The Master Numbers are 3,5,7,9 and 12.The No.9 and its multiple is the most important because 9 digits added up together equal 45. The next number of greatest important is 7, the number mentioned more times in the bible than any other number. There are 7 days in the week and 7 calendar days and 5 market days, and their multiples should be carried on your daily, weekly and monthly charts. The square of 7 is 49, which is a very important time period. The second square is 98, third square is 147,fourth square is 196 which is also the square of 14,fifth square is 245,sixth square 294, seventh square is 343 (Gann’s grave faces 343 degrees towards Wall St), eight square is 392,ninth square is 441 which is also the square of 21, tenth square is 490, an another bible number, eleventh square is 539 (540 is 360 + 180) and twelfth square is 588.Gann said his death square is 576 to 588 which is 216 to 226 degrees of a circle which is in the middle of Scorpio ,the eight house and the house of debt and death in astrology. 216 is 144 plus 72 or 3/5th of a circle and 226 is one over 5/8th of a circle.
There is also seven ancient planet for the seven days of the week and seven planetary hours for measuring time during a day. Gann coded everything as you know, as an example of how he coded number seven, is that 2 and 7 are the positive and negative numbers of the Moon in numerology and the word Monday comes from Moon.TTTTA was written on 9th May 1927, which was a Monday and seven days after the New Moon, the Moon is has an exact conjunction with Neptune on that day. Saturn follows Moon in the planetary hours of the Chaldeans; the first conjunction the Moon makes is with Saturn after the 9th May 1927. You would know that 1940 on the book minus the 5 x 360 leaves 140 or two 70s. The Moon conjunct Neptune is at 24 degrees Leo or 144 degrees of circle on that day. Minus 70, equals 74 degrees (Future Cycles start on page 75, chapter 7) or 14 degrees Gemini, Gann’s Sun is at 15 degrees Gemini. Add 70 equals 214 degrees, opposite is 34 degrees or 4 degrees Taurus. 34 is the Chapter missing in TTTTA, 3 plus 4 equals 7.Ganns Venus is at 3 degrees Taurus.

The Challenge is to find the secret.

While I have not found the hidden meaning of the book yet, I am confident that it is preserved as the paragraphs and chapters match the page-numbering of the original. Or at least as accurate as the faithful reproduction of TTTTA by the (Yahoo) Gann Study Group. The last page ends at 418. This is a nice hardcover edition which is easier to read at leisure for me. The pages look like a photocopy reproduction of some older edition, instead of made with new typesetting. I haven’t bought this for the story, but for the puzzle. Clearly too many dates in it to make sense as a romance novel.

This is book for scientific learning.some secrets are there can be understood by reading minimum twice.stock market us affected by natural laws.

I like the information it gave
