The fundamental philosophy that Gann was spotlighting was simply that March 21 was the annual reincarnation of lifes new birth. By June 21 at the Summer Solstice, intense new growth has taken place in the animal, plant and insect kingdoms. By the Autumnal Equinox on September 22"*, the peak of vitality and fruition was being reached and the life cycle was ebbing towards old age as the new dominant cycle. By December 21, at the Winter Solstice, the life cycle is in a frozen slate of suspended animation as animals hibernate, plants appear dead and the suspended seeds of the next generation of new life lie waiting for the resurrection of the life giving rays of the Sun, at the Vernal Equinox. The Bible plainly states that there is a time and a season for everything under the Sun and there are no exceptions to this cyclic rule. The Earth revolves around the Sun in 365 days or one year. This completes its journey through the 12 signs of the zodiac or 360° orbit. Gann instructed his students to read the Bible at least 3 times because his greatest discoveries were found in the Bible, He considered it the greatest scientific book ever written.

Bible Interpretations Related to W.D. Gann

I will start with Ganns circle chart; I will use this for my first Bible inte retation. "In the center was the One, the unnamable. surrounded by four powerftil beings. And around the throne were 24 chairs with the 24 elders. They prayed to the unnamable: Through you alone all things and all beings exist. Your will enabled them to be and gave them form. Around the throne, were the four powerftil beings, and around the 24 elders there were 10,000 times 10,000 and again 1,000 times and again 1,000 angels". This is from the Book of Revelations, which was written in the style of Ezekiel. The four powerftil beings are the "Fixed Cross" signs of Aquarius, Taurus, Leo, and Scorpio. The

24 elders are the 12 signs of the zodiac. The 24 comes from each signs 15-degree

ascending phase each day and its 15-degree negative or descending phase each day. Thi-s is also the basis of King Arthurs round table, which always required the presence of either 12 or 24 knights to be seated. The rose in the center of King Arthurs table is a play on words and represents that Christ "rose" from the dead. The number 24 is equal to the 360-degreee revolution of the earth on its own axis giving us 24 hours to a day. If you convert these hours to minutes, you get 24*60 = 1440. This relates to the Twelve tribes of Israel. Half this amount which is 720 or 2 circles (or the hours of either day or night) is the cycle for the precession of the equinoxes which advances one degree every 72 years.

Tunjiel Thru The Air page 69, Gann says that he believed there was a secret meaning in what Jesus said: "For as Jonah was three days and three nights in the whales belly; so shall the Son of man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth". Gann said that this was the key to the 1 1 1 11 of the future. This allegory regarding three days and nights has been told in many different ways by several religions. I believe that it is a story about the Sun ("the son or Snn of man" not the Son of God) as it symbolically dies on the cardinal (cross) sign Capricorn during the Winter solstice on December 2P, 22" each year. Three days later on December 25*, the birthday of Christ, Apollo, Horus, etc., the days start to become noticeably longer. Three months ("days") later, the Sun reaches 0-degrees Aries at the Vernal Equinox on March 21 each year. "Lamb of God, you take away the sins ofthe world". This is the point where the Sun starts to move north of the equator. This is why Easter is always based on the Full moon following the Vernal

Equinox in April. The word Easter comes from "East Star" and you know what star rises in the east every moming at "sunrise".

From this point on, the amount of daylight increases and the Sun increases in strength as it rises (from the dead) until the Summer Solstice in the cardinal sign of Cancer June 21. Notice that Gann wrote this on page 69, which is the astrological symbol for Cancer 22, tumed on its side. As far as the significance for interpretation of the future, I believe that Gann may have been referring to the apparent ingress of the Sun into the cardinal signs, and also the nodes ofthe planets. Several planets have their node in the sign of Cancer 22. The planetary nodes and conjunctions of the major planets are used in the practice of Mundane Astrology along with the solar ingress into each of the four cardinal signs with primary emphasis on the Vemal equinox. "O, ye hypocrites, ye can discern the face of the sky; but can ye not discern the signs of the times?"

"And God said, let there be lights in the firmament, of the heaven to divide the day from the night, and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and for years."

Another related inte retation involves the constellation Cetus- The Whale, which symbolically swallowed Jonah. This constellation runs from Pisces to Taurus, the whales belly is in Pisces when the Sun would be south of the equator, corresponding to the month of February and the whales mouth, where Jonah is symbolically spit out is in the sign of Taurus (sun is now north of the equator) corresponding to April the month that Christ rises from the dead on Easter.
