On October 24-25, 1929 ('Black Thursday' and 'Black Tuesday'), the stock market crashes spectacularly. Stock prices plummet. Fortunes evaporate overnight. The crash cascades into the Great Depression lasting a decade. Unemployment reaches 25%. Breadlines form. Homelessness spreads. The Depression reshapes politics, economics, and social safety nets. Welfare states emerge as responses.
Saturn rules economic structures and consequences. Pluto rules obsession, greed, and the destruction of false value. Their conjunction creates the violent collapse of economic illusions. The 1920s boom (Jupiter expansion) turns to bust (Saturn-Pluto contraction). Speculation (Pluto obsession) meets reality (Saturn discipline). Fortunes built on speculation are destroyed.
