“The solar eclipse will happen on the “ecclesiastical new year.” In other words, the Hebrew calendar new year (1st of Nisan) begins March 20 at sunset, starting the Hebrew year 5775.”
The beginning of the year 5775 of the Hebrew calendar was September 25, 2014. The next year, 5776 starts with Rosh Hashana on 9/14/15. Hebrew calendar is out of sync with modern calendar because its based on lunar and not solar cycle. As a result, a Hebrew year is only 354 days, but it is adjusted periodically by adding a month so that the holidays still conform to the seasons.
This year (5775) is a Shemitah year of nullification and occurs every seven years. The March 20 eclipse occurs in the middle of 5775. The nullification years have apparently been associated with major events such as economic collapses. Generally speaking, the worst collapses occur at the end of the Shemitah year which is typically in September or October, and Wall Street is very familiar with the Sept/October curse.
BTW, the last trading day of 5775 is 9/11/15.
