The way the modern stock exchange functions goes back to 1602. The horoscope of the creation is still very relevant. The temporary aspects in that horoscope reflect the important early developments of the stock exchange, for example the early conflicts, fraud and manipulation, the invention of short selling, futures and other financial instruments the way we use today. Other historical developments that affected the functioning of the stock exchange, for example the chain of events that led to the American Revolution, are also reflected by this chart, as are modern developments, for example the bankruptcy of Lehman Brothers, and the following crisis.Researching this primal horoscope of the modern stock exchange in the light of history clearly shows how important this chart still is. In this study is shown how we can use this chart to understand future tendencies in the world of finance. It provides an important complement to the existing astrological methods to study financial dynamics. 3
