What Happened
On October 19, 1987, stock markets around the world crash. The Dow Jones falls 22.6% in a single day — the largest percentage drop in history. Mercury retrograde in Scorpio (financial sign) square Saturn (restriction, contraction) creates the perfect storm for communication breakdown in financial systems. Computer trading algorithms amplify the panic.
The Cosmic Link
Mercury retrograde disrupts communication and technology. In Scorpio (finance, debt, shared resources), it specifically disrupts financial communication. The square to Saturn adds restriction, contraction, and fear. Computer trading systems (Mercury = technology) malfunction under retrograde, creating cascading sell orders. The Scorpio placement ensures the disruption is financial and deep.
