Political Astrology, the Astrology of Western Imperialism and its association with longevity. Van K. Golay

Golden Gate station, Kyiv Metro

Abstract: Every 248 years Pluto, the most powerful planet by transit in astrology, crosses over the top of the natural zodiac and through the sign Capricorn. The importance of 0°p is that it is the upper point on the natural zodiac wheel between the two opposing primary hemispheres. These hemispheres represent the two halves of a collective (World) mind, which is connected to the population pattern of the World and rooted in the geography of the continents that produced that population pattern. The Pluto transit brings to the fore issues of East –West conflict, and also puts the spotlight on the long-lived character that Capricorn symbolizes. The astrological Capricorn characteristics of dominance, ambition, authority, and longevity are embodied in human figures like the father, executive, boss, monarch, and the long-lived messiah or redeemer figures. As Pluto transits Capricorn (2008-2024) it is a good time to evaluate the progress of Western Imperialism and also the progress of engineering the long-lived Capricorn character (phenotype). Eastern Imperialism is primarily defensive because the East is already the dominant half of the collective mind due to a 2 to 1 demographic dominance. See statistics at p. 10 and 1st reference. In religious mythology the two phenomena are related in that the inborn hemispheric competition for World dominance is resolved by birth of the long-lived or everlasting messiah-redeemer character. As Pluto now transits the apex of the wheel, Western Imperialism seems in decline but is not dead and longevity science is red-hot but only long-lived lower animals (yeast through rodents) are currently being produced. The scientific revolution of the last two centuries produced dramatic gains in average human lifespan (life expectancy) but not maximum lifespan. The new discoveries in the biology of aging, signal gains in maximum human lifespan may be achievable if not imminent.

The transit of Pluto over the hemispheric divide and through Capricorn, is a general influence based on the E-W geographic polarity and the apex quality of p, while Pluto’s aspects to the other outer social planets and its transit at perihelion are sharper delineators of political change. Longer secular cycles like the 26,000 year cycle of precession of the equinoxes, Pluto’s perihelion 25,267 year forward circulation of the zodiac cycle, and the 19,912 year Pluto libration (oscillation) cycle are important for understanding long term psychological changes affecting the collective social organism. See p. 35, 66, 182 This book also presents an original theory about the meaning of the Zodiac signs and planet glyphs (symbols). Individually and in composite, the glyphs describe key philosophical concepts (not scientifically verified yet) like reincarnating souls, collective minds, and the basis of opposing antagonistic hemispheres responsible for Western Imperialism. It presents a symbol based rational for choosing a particular astrological time for birthing children. It also suggest that the author of these symbols, the collective mind, is a scientist as well as philosopher. Several symbols imply a central strategy for longevity-extension based on arresting reproductive development at puberty in order to delay/arrest senescence (aging). That idea gets considerable agreement from current longevity research, and that research on development control will be discussed in the last chapter on the Biology of aging. Introduction: Here a new interpretation of the zodiac glyph symbols is presented. The zodiac glyph symbols were evolved during late Greek Byzantium, and early renaissance in the 15th century with the final glyph set appearing in the first printed astronomy books by Regiomontanus about 1474. See pp.84-91. At the core of the zodiac glyph symbols are sub- symbols for body = t, soul = q, heaven = ], earth = , reproduction by natural selection = , and reproduction by planned birth = . Together as a system or in composite they explain the most important philosophical ideas on earth. Those ideas are important to the collective mind that inspired them and to us humans who are the cells of that mind. In a general way, the natural zodiac is the horoscope of the World which describes the structure of the spirit world (collective mind) and basic philosophical concepts held by that mind. They can serve as a guide of life at the personal and social-psychological level. Natural zodiac: This zodiac format (Aries on the left, and Capricorn at the top) is natural in that the glyph system, as described in this book, requires that orientation for the sub-symbols to describe E- W social-psychological hemispheric polarity, which is originally dependant on the souls reincarnational pathway from Aries to Pisces. That natural scheme overlays and is connected to continental geography and demography. See Aries pp. 7-11

Other representational uses of the Zodiac: The tropical zodiac is also used to represent a diagram of the seasons. Starting with the spring (Vernal) Equinox = 0°Aries, Summer Solstice = 0° Cancer, Fall Equinox = 0° Libra, and the Winter Solstice = 0°Capricorn. The zodiac probably evolved as a calendar tool to predict the seasons. In Astrology horoscopy the House system of 12 houses and 4 cardinal angles remain in the background with their meaning based on the meaning of the signs of the natural zodiac starting with Aries in the 1st house on the left side and Capricorn at the top. For any particular horoscope the ascendant or rising degree will be determined by the earth’s rotation relative to the local horizon for that exact time. So you get two meanings for the planets position in the horoscope; one based on their house location at the exact time of day at birth and one based on its sign location longitude degree in the tropical zodiac.

Choosing People: Conception date BIRTHDAY - North Node at 0°u In a new theory about the glyph symbols Feb. 11, 2015 Nov. 11, 2015 (circa 1976) I will show how the wiggly lines in the Sept. 3, 2033 Jun. 3, 2034 symbols of the Zodiac direct us in timing (birthing) Mar. 23, 2051 Dec. 23, 2052 the psychologically superior child. It is superior by Oct. 18, 2070 Jul. 18, 2071 virtue of aligning the most associative astrological May 27, 2089 Feb. 27, 2090 Feb. 24, 2108 Nov. 24, 2108 factor in an individual’s horoscope (the south and Sept. 15, 2126 Jun. 15, 2127 north lunar nodes) with the q-u (Aries-Libra) axis. Apr. 9, 2145 Jan. 9, 2146 Conception is timed to put the South Node and Nov. 12, 2163 Aug. 12, 2164 North Node of the Moon at 0° Aries and 0°Libra respectively at birth. This links the Childs Moon Node associations in the world at the broadest and most balanced position relative to the primary zodiac hemispheres. According to astrologers the 0° Aries – Libra axis is the most important associative axis for relationships both public and private. The purpose for aligning these associative factors is to neutralize and balance the child’s connections to a polarized and historically antagonistic collective mind. The assumption here is that the East-West geographic divide at the middle East (30°E) has a psychic dimension in a polarized organismal consciousness. This will make the child an attractive neutral vessel in which the confluence of psychic vectors from both halves of the collective mind can converge harmoniously. You are producing the neutral human element of a potential temporary psychic-trinity, composed of the two halves of the collective mind (majority spirit, minority spirit, and human). See Aquarius pp. 29-36. The timing of the birth does not give him/her attributes of longevity but only psychological neutrality/balance in relation to the two arch-spirits of the collective mind. His or her longevity and moral strength will come by controlling environmental and behavioral factors that affect the biology of aging. The biology of aging is at a revolutionary stage of understanding at the end of the 20th century and can stand on its own merit to produce longevity gains in the future. On the other hand, while astrology timing may seem non- 4 essential from a scientific standpoint, the timing is implied in the symbols to be important for the social organism’s goal of political unity. The next dates for birthing these special children are shown below. Astrological understanding of the structure and nature of the collective mind (social psychology) and its relationship to personal psychology is unknown, and unstudied by academia. It’s taboo. Here we look at astrology’s glyphs as a map of the astronomic-inputs that define social psychology, and the politics of Western Imperialism, a denied phenomenon in the West. Western Imperialism benefits from Astrology’s repression, because astrology has the power to explain it and track its main cycle , the Alternatively one could adopt a needy child with the approximate birth date and raise them as chosen children, by educating them in the biological sciences of aging, and strategies designed to Urne3art.bmp mutecr3.bmp, mutecr1.bmp, van1eptable1p4.tif silence reproductive development at puberty. Those strategies include activating the longevity/survival genes Sirtuin Sirt1-7 and FOXO genes 1,3 hereafter abbreviated as sirtuin-FOXO genes, which are master transcriptional regulator genes that control a cascade of downstream genes, which affect organismal physiological function. Discussed in the last chapter. Out of that group and the others that follow every 18 years will come children born with a putative psychological blessing. The other more overt part of the longevity program is for URANUS-NEPTUNE CONJUNCTIONS the child and its parents to be educated [ in the biological sciences with special attention to the biology of aging, development, genetics, molecular biology, evolution and nutrition, because lasting changes in behavior or environment require scientific understanding as well as demonstrations of principle, involving the longevity genes. The glyphs imply a particular strategy to achieve longevity involving reproductive development arrest at maturity, and considerable recent science supports that notion. That knowledge should grow in the coming years because of the conjunction of kl in Capricorn in 1993, which builds on the 1821 kl conjunction in Capricorn. That conjunction combination stimulates the psychology that is best for pursuing the individual longevity goal. The timing of this conjunction fits well with the developmental need of the collective organism for a solution to over-population. Social-organismal need drives history, while astrology (astronomic inputs) organizes the timing and characterization of resolution of the need. Pacifying the inherent antagonism between the hemispheres is implied in the symbols to be important both for the individual and the collective mind. Over time, the populations of longer-lived people should get larger and participants live longer, especially in those countries at the middle ground (30° E.), which divides the primary hemispheres. The glyph system is the collective mind’s master-plan to perfect the individual and social organism over time. That increasing longevity phenotype eventually changes population genetics.

As might be expected from the conjunction of Modes of expression, qualities kl in Capricorn in 1993 and Pluto’s transit through Capricorn (2008-2024) our knowledge of the biology of aging is undergoing a transformation leading to extended lifespan in Cardinal Fixed Mutable lower animals in laboratories, and the prospect See text for individual signs. of mimicking that phenomena in humans. Here I describe how the astrological symbols directly speak to the longevity project from the individual and social psychological perspective. According to modern astrological reference books the origin of the glyphs and the meaning of the wiggly lines that compose them is obscure. Some of the glyphs have been interpreted as abbreviations of the earlier zodiac (animal) signs, for example Aries would be the horns of the ram, and with Sagittarius the arrow is just part of the full centaur, but many of the glyphs appear related to the earlier constellation based pictograms, but with added meaning not obvious in the constellation pictograms. There is little consensus among astrologers about sub-symbol interpretation of the glyphs or overall systemic structure, although parts of the system have been organized into related groups of signs by element (Fire, Earth, Air and Water), oppositional relatedness of signs and the quadruplicity scheme that relates three separate modes of expression (cardinal, fixed and mutable) in the 4 quadrants of the 12 part zodiac. The cardinal cross +, (Aries-Libra and Cancer-Capricorn axis) is the most important organizing structural element. The cardinal cross of signs relates to the tropical zodiac solstice points that establish 0°Aries for the horoscope, and diurnal rotation position, which gives the Ascendant- Descendant, Midheaven-MC, IC, Imum Coeli (lower heaven) degrees of an individual horoscope. This new glyph interpretation is probably discovery of meaning originally inspired by the collective mind, which is only now comprehensible to us humans, due to the developmental maturity of the social organism in recent times and the current relative maturity of the sciences. Much of the glyph- system narrative is about developmental stage of individual and social organisms. Until the social- organism reached the current stage of developmental-maturity, parts of the narrative, like the meaning of Scorpio, which describes world political mass-population Elements dynamics (socialism, and Western Imperialism) were incomprehensible. Likewise, recent biological-science discoveries are Fire Earth Air Water making glyph-statements about extended longevity intelligible. The Attributes: Fire = initiative, energy, and enthusiasm. Earth = earliest use of the glyphs, except for practicality, stability. Air = intellect, communication. Water = the Sun, Moon, Ascendant, and emotion, sensitivity. Midheaven do not show up in horoscopes until about 1400-1474. See glyph development pp. 84-91. Before that time the Zodiac signs and planets were just written out or abbreviated, in literal horoscopes. In the present

6 interpretation, the glyph system is based on two core sub-symbols, which combine in many symbolic statements about individual and collective developmental processes, psychological principles, and philosophical goals, linked to evolutionary cosmology and biology. An over-arching intelligence is implied in Aquarius symbolism, a sentient intelligence that learns and evolves as part of the social organism. The collective mind may have conceived the basic symbolic glyph system as a master plan that actualizes depending on our stage of developmental maturity, with developmental needs- resolution timed by astronomic (psychological) factors, like planet transits and conjunctions among the outer planets. How lower signs underpin the social signs of the upper hemisphere. In the glyph system, the 6 upper hemisphere social signs are more complex social-expressions of individual or family orientated signs in the lower hemisphere, with opposite pairs dealing with similar themes. The developmentally more complex social expression builds on the opposite lower subordinate signs, which are developmentally limited to early stages of individual growth and reproduction, with the family/clan being the highest level of social organization in the first six signs. q The isolated developing soul of Aries becomes the socially supported incarnation in Libra u. w Individual, family, and corporate wealth contrast with collectively controlled resources of the macro social-organism in Scorpio i. e The local information of Gemini is organized as systematic science in Sagittarius. The local neighborhood vision expands to the global/universal, in Sagittarius o. r Quiescent germline stem cells of Cancer support the long-lived somatic body (non-germline) in Capricorn p. t One leading individual as leader of the local family unit (pride) becomes a cell in the collective consciousness of many individuals in Aquarius [. y The matrix of natural-selected reproducive life becomes a communion of mature souls in heaven ].

Zodiac signs – Chapter I

The lines in the glyphs (astrological symbols) are composits of two basic sub-symbols for the body and soul. Aries is the symbol for the soul and Leo is the symbol for the body. Aries, the first sign of the zodiac is the symbol of the soul at the beginning of its evolution and also the start stage of each new reincarnation. Pisces, the last sign of the zodiac, represents a pause stage between incarnations, and eventual soul maturity after countless incarnations. The Aries symbol suggest something that is unitary in the stem but has duality or polarity in development. The Aries symbol splits into two separate branches perhaps reflecting the adaptation of this non-dividing psychic component to the polar nature of dividing, biological life forms including the polarized

collective organism. The physical nature of the soul is unknown, however the reincarnation cycle, implied in the zodiac symbols, point to a soul that has structure, but is able to transmigrate in the atmosphere separated from a physical body. The atmosphere we live in is perhaps the heaven (pause stage) of existence for less evolved animal life and the surfaces of waters is perhaps the heaven stage for even less evolved aquatic animals. In this scheme the gradations of pressure and types of oxygen lure the evolving soul progressively upward. The philosopher Renee Descartes speculated that the seat or home of the soul was the pineal gland between the two lobes of the brain. The layout of the natural zodiac, with Aries on the left and the animal-way progressing counterclockwise around the bottom of the wheel from Aries, may be related to the Southwestern quadrant of the geographic-overlay occupying tropical geography that generated a vast diversity lower animal species, which predominate in the tropical forest. This may have been even more a factor in prehistoric times when the proposed Pangeaen supercontinent favored that quadrant, perhaps establishing a circular pattern of soul trans-species migrational-flow that continues to the present. The easy geographical availability of the Eurasian land mass may have channeled the dispersal of large mammals and later human-kind out of Africa to go to the East, thus establishing the basis of Eastern demographic and resultant psychic dominance. The Sun rising in the East every day may also have been an influence on the circular pattern of the Zodiac wherein the body hemisphere (the East) was the first to get sunlight in the daily light/dark circadian cycle, thus orientating vegetation growth and life in general to the East. The idea that the collective mind should have a face or plane of focus with 30° East as the center of that plane is explained by the theory that the continents were formed from a single land mass originally, and over the course of the last 225 million years drifted apart but still maintains a central planar focus that is polarized into primary distinct hemispheres, organized by the biology of the developing social organism. The social-psychological structure (collective mind) can be understood as having its roots in the

Worlds demographic pattern and the geography that determined that pattern. The total of all species in descending order from human may make PANGAEA SUPERCONTINENT 30Ex30N up a demographic anchor, with the human species "The way the Cookie crumbled" dominating the conscious (thinking) part of the collective mind. That structure is critical to understanding political structures and history, but

perhaps equally important is the philosophical story the symbols tell about individual and social development processes like reincarnation, collective minds, longevity and future goals.

DIVIDING THE WORLD AT 30° EAST Border countries like Egypt, Turkey, and Ukraine were divided proportionally by rough estimate. All of Hawaii and ⅔ of Alaska was counted as Eastern land area because it lies west of 150° W., the proposed boundary on the opposite side of the globe from 30° East. While this division of the world is geographically central, the East dominates in population by over 2 to 1. As people are the presumed cells of the collective mind, the East is the dominant hemisphere. The West hopes to rearrange the world population equation through warfare, which is the base motive for Western Imperialism. The Aries (soul) symbol is found exclusively in the left hemisphere while the Leo (body) symbol dominates the right hemisphere. Capricorn - at the top of the wheel - is the only sign where the two symbols join, as an Aries symbol connected to a south node leg of a south node symbol. It is appropriate that body and soul should come together in the sign associated with longevity and the second half of life. Part of the theory presented here is that human

By superimposing the zodiac on the world using 30° east longitude, then the surrounding geographic sections take on psychological traits associated with the overlaying signs. For example Russia takes on the signs in the trans-familial quadrant, Libra through Sagittarius, as post-Soviet Russia shed most of its former Capricorn geography. Africa is mostly Cancer and Gemini. China is Virgo, Libra, Scorpio. The USA is Piscean. Great Britain is Aquarian, etc. These boundaries are not exact and could change with geographic shifts. The circle of signs is largely a social psychological diagram of the collective mind, authored (inspired) by the majority spirit of the collective mind to explain its own nature, structure, and what it considers the most important philosophical concepts.

While the astro-geographic overlay theory is seemingly new, the concept of World geography being partitioned under the dominion of the Greek Gods (Zeus, Apollo, Aries, Athena, etc.) was proposed by Plato (427-347 BCE). See Critias in index for link. He suggested a natural systemic order exist, established by chance (not by strife) in antiquity. Those various Gods influenced the psychology of the people of their geographic domains. It should be kept in mind that Greek tropical astrology (planetary or cosmologic psychology) only began rapid evolution around the time of Hipparchus (190-120 BCE), synchronous with the discovery of precession of the equinoxes and culmination of Hellenistic astronomic knowledge demonstrated in the Antikythera mechanism. See pp. 73-75. Astrology achieved systematic organization with Claudius Ptolemy (90-168 CE). The classical philosophers lacked that Hellenistic astronomical knowledge, necessary to begin distinguishing the cosmologic inputs of human and collective psychology, but amazingly still had a feel for the results, as evidenced by the psychological nature and relationships of the Olympian pantheistic family which evolved in ancient, classical and Hellenistic Greece.

Fixed cross signs

Taurus is the symbol of the world with the moon on it. It represents geography as shaped over the eons by tides and seasons both of which are results of the moon's and the earth's cyclic motions. Taurus is part of the fixed cross of signs involving the sign opposite to it (i) and the two signs at 90 degree angles to it (t,[). It is called the fixed cross because it relates to factors that cannot be changed easily. The basis of this is that geography is cosmologically determined and that geography in turn determines the demographic pattern of populations around the globe, which in turn fixes the pattern of the collective mind. An alternative interpretation would have the symbol of the World with an Aries symbol on top showing where (geographically) that soul incarnated and represents the material circumstances surrounding the new incarnation. e Gemini is traditionally ruled by the planet Mercury and is associated with all types of communication like talking and writing. It is the base sign, the lowest on the natural zodiac wheel of the mutable cross of signs involving Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius, and Pisces. It is mutable because the issues involved are variable and open to change based on ones store of information. They are issues like ones reproductive decisions in y, ones philosophy in o, and ones reincarnation schedule in ], all decisions that result from ones store of information. The symbol rightly indicates that the base factor in mutations of fate to be information, which one usually gets from the local environment. Gemini is in the initial build stage quadrant of the natural zodiac which is developmentally immature (non-social) where the soul begins to relate to what is outside their immediate geographic environment they incarnated into (w) and has been traditionally associated with the local environment of early life, siblings and neighbors, but the concept can be logically applied to the dualistic bi-polar World where East and West arch-spirits are evolving siblings or neighbors.

e -Base of mutable signs.

Gemini comes from the Latin word geminus that means twin, dual, or to double or pair. An example of the occasional hidden meaning of words may be seen here. In English, Gemini phonetically sounds like (Gem-in-I). The Gem refers to the diamond pattern formed by the natural cardinal cross (+) of signs, in the old-style horoscopes shown below, and the effect of Gemini picture from Gemini's information in making that diamond Biet Alpha th pattern perfectly balanced and fulfilled. The synagogue, ca. 5 century CE, diamond pattern is perfected by using the two Israel.(castello 1994) techniques described in this book to produce a long-lived and psychologically more fit human. The last step is done in order to make the person an independent agent in relation to an inherently- contentious collective mind and takes care of the horizontal (Aries - Libra) axis of the cardinal cross, while the first step of maximum growth and longevity are the ideal qualities of the vertical Cancer - Capricorn axis. The astronomical version of Uranus k shows the two sides of a Gemini symbol supporting an inverted Venus symbol, symbolizing the importance of scientific information in mutating the natural order of naturally-selected, normal-longevity. By overthrowing the Venus symbol of reproduction, the individuals cardinal cross (destiny symbol), is now on top of the World symbol, making the individual potentially independent of the World through longevity. Furthermore it is proposed here that the asteroid goddess Pallas Athena is a co-ruler of Gemini because its glyph, recapitulates the symbolism of the diamond G. See Athena, pp. 40-42.

Glyph development: Symbolic horoscopes formed exclusively from glyphs were a huge advance in chart diagramming. The exact timeline of early-glyph formation remains buried in European library archives, but a few pre-printing press manuscripts are now available online from the national libraries of European countries (see references for links). There are many literary horoscopes in European libraries but very few diagrams with glyphs before 1400 CE. The best example is the chart from Book Pluti.28.34, acquired by the private library of Cosimo dei Medici (1389-1464), which is the foundation collection of the Laurentian Library in Florence, Italy. See on p. 87. The author and date of writing is unknown. Acquisition was synchronous with the final fall of the Greek Byzantine Empire to the Ottoman Turks in 1453, as Greek and Eastern philosophical ideas worked their way into a fast evolving glyph system, spurred on by the invention of the printing press around 1440 CE. The Gutenberg Bible was printed in 1453. See glyph development timeline. See pp. 84-91

The horoscopes forms shown here were first used around 1400-1474 CE, with the diamond pattern most common.

An important astrological correlation with the renaissance of science in general and birth of the new glyph system was the conjunction of l; in 1398 CE in Gemini, at the midpoint of the much larger kl; conjunction cycle that started in 577 BCE. See graph on p. 57. The l; conjunction at 4° Gemini was the first of the Gemini series of l; conjunctions that will continue for the next 3800 years. That repeated emphasis on Gemini puts Gemini in a special category, that modifies the upcoming Age of Aquarius and beyond. Interestingly the new glyph system that quickly coalesced to its present form by 1474 in the first printed Regiomontanus calendars and ephemerides, defines the World as a Gemini-like bipolar, local, social-organism. Local is here defined as geocentric. If you call the collective-mind a God, then it is probably a local God, not universal, however a Galactic or universal organization is probably in our future. We may be exaggerating our earth-centric God’s attributes and powers. The supposition, argued here, is that the glyph system was inspired by an overriding intelligence (collective mind, symbolized in Aquarius), in guiding the construction of this symbol system. Who better to tell the story of the social psychological organism than the only constant sentient witness, and main subject of the drama? This conclusion is bolstered by the 14

Kepler1.bmp, PDF, oldest3.bmp, absence of any single human to claim authorship, or understanding of the whole scheme, even as late as today. It is primarily a social-psychological system that integrates personal psychology in a complimentary role. It also relates to physiological development of organisms and collective organisms, and non-biotic cosmic development. Like ourselves, the collective thinks as a scientist as well as philosopher, and the symbols seem to reflect both. Cancer is composed of two horizontal north node leg symbols, one on top of the other in a compact and insular pattern. If the complete nodal symbols are drawn, it shows equal orientation to the

North and South Nodes ideal positions on the Aries-Libra axis. Traditionally cancer is the sign of the parents, the mother, home, food and nurturing. Cancerian parental love is East-West neutral and unconditional; focused first on itself and by extension of self to include offspring. In viewing the Cancer symbol as quiescent (silent) germline cells with the power to perpetually feed the organism at large with bio-molecules required for longevity, it is a suitable symbol for the base of the r-p growth/longevity axis. Cancer is the first sign of the Leo (body) series of signs stretching around the right side of the natural zodiac circle. Together in a series they represent the body symbol signs starting with Cancer, with its emphasis on silent north node symbols through Capricorn with its emphasis on the south node leg of a south node symbol (end of growth). Other non-astrological symbols related to the nodal symbols as development markers, are the numbers 6 and 9 corresponding symbolically to the 6th and 9th houses. 6 is the north node leg of a north node symbol symbolizing maximum growth seen in the natal and puberty stages, and 9 is a north node leg of a south node symbol, symbolizing the slow growth seen in adulthood. They each represent one of the stages of organism development as symbolized by the different legs of the north and south lunar nodal symbols. You see a progression

15 cancere.bmp, PDF, can.bmp, lunnae.bmp, lunna.bmp, cancer1r.bmp as you go around the right side of the wheel from Cancer to Capricorn. Cancer’s two horizontal north node legs are growth neutral as cells, but may be contributory to organismal growth and long-term stability of cellular self-renewal capacity if not allowed to jump to the next growth stage symbolized by Virgo (reproduction). In this new theory, Africa falls in the Pisces- Cancer sectors of the astro-geographic overlay. (See Africa map p. 184) Feminine maternality is by tradition Cancerian, and indeed Mother Africa was the cradle of human evolution. The psychological qualities of Cancer seem strong in the African race, perhaps derived from a hyper-competitive animal environment throughout evolution in Africa and pre-African Pangaea, that may have selected genes for longevity and increased physical activity, demanded by the hyper-competitive African environment. That selection pressure for longevity may repress or delay reproduction by naturally selecting genes for non-sexually attractive traits and instead express genes for somatic (non-reproductive) fitness and survival. Call it the primeval-ugliness blessing that selected for fitness and survival genes at the expense of reproductive development schedules. If asexual traits have fitness/survival benefits then they would have been selected for in that hyper-competitive large-mammal environment of Africa. Maybe it is a type of inter-species peer pressure in a crowded environment that demanded the (increased physical activity phenotype) and other survival gene attributes for success. Cancer’s r primal position at the bottom of the wheel and first of the body series of signs may encourage an asexual insular psychology that would ingather, mother and protect all resources, (endogenous and exogenous) for its own somatic, (non-sexual) growth and development. Motherhood may simply be the extension of an essentially selfish psychology to include extensions of her/himself to her/his baby(s) and a limited insular social circle (family/clan/tribe). The Cancer psychology may underlie the historical tribal-character of African social/political organization and the resistance to aggregate into larger national structures. By favoring that r psychology, by supporting small communitarian units as a model for social/economic organization, instead of 16 isolated single family units in modern urban cities, may solve many of Africa’s dysfunctions, and indeed should be considered with respect to USA, Brazil and other countries with large African- diaspora populations. That strategy would feed inherent psychological strengths and preferences that are now repressed in the African Diasporas and urban Africa. The family/clan quadrant (rty) is the base (local) social structure that underpins the larger trans-familial (uio) social structures in the following quadrant. The individuals somatic body (non-germline) develops in Cancer, reaches maximum reproductive fitness in Leo, and then normally culminates in reproductive pairing with another reproductively fit Leo in Virgo. The proposed alternative strategy, symbolized in Uranus is to maintain Leo’s maximum reproductive fitness by sequestering all somatic and reproductive resources for the individual. Theoretically that could be accomplished by silencing reproductive development, while simultaneously preserving stem cell pools in a quiescent state.

Leo is the symbol of a body or individual incarnation. It symbolizes the person’s birth, death, and what comes in between. The right leg of the symbol is the first half of the person’s life and is associated with the north node of the moon. It has an expanding Jupitarian quality. The left leg is associated with the second half of the person’s life, the south node of the moon, and has a Saturn- like constricting quality. In it’s most ideal position (explanation to follow) the north node is placed - in planning a child's birth - at 0° Libra which automatically puts the south node directly opposite at 0° Aries. This puts the top of the arch at 0° Capricorn. Thus the top of the arch takes on Midheaven characteristics, showing the apex of that incarnations endeavors and where the person stands out in public. Traditionally, the nodes of the moon are points of association that show where the individuals ties into the whole matrix of life; psychologically as well as on a mundane level. They reflect the person's ties to family, country, and other group.

At the local level Leo represents the central leading individual of the family, clan or larger social unit. The Lion is king of the pride and is selected as most fit to rule and reproduce in the following sign of Virgo, where two Leo’s unite for reproduction. That sequence suggest that Leo’s famous pride and deserved-agrandisement may be advantageous for reproductive sucess. Beyond the local level, Leo’s centrality can be in relation to the larger World, as symbolized by Aquarius, the opposite sign. The selective positioning of the lunar nodes, in order to facilitate ideal collective-mind relations to the individual, may be important mostly for long-lived characters, destined to serve collective roles on the larger World stage. The planet ruler of the sign Leo similarly points to the relationship of a central figure to the larger macro (social) organism, Sun, a. Here the dot is the (individual) as center of his/her social world, be it local or global. The nodes of the moon are not planets but intersections of orbital planes. In this case the planes are the ecliptic and the moon’s orbit. They are opposite points on the ecliptic where the moon crosses it at a slight angle of 5 degrees. The ecliptic is the plane of the earth's orbit around the sun, extended into space. The north node of the moon is the point on the ecliptic where the moon crosses it, going from south to north. The south node is the point where the moon crosses the ecliptic going from north to south in its monthly orbit. The lunar nodes are always opposite to each other by zodiacal degree and move backwards through the signs along the ecliptic every 18 years +11.3 days. The pattern of solar and lunar eclipses is tied to this cycle. Amazingly, the whole 18 year cycle of eclipses repeats in a three cycle set, so that every third cycle occurs at nearly the exact time and place only 54 years and 34 days later. In the chart they are points of association, connections and relationships, with the North node associated with relationships in the first half of life and the South node with relationships in the 2nd half of life, with the house, sign and aspects to other planets modifying the meaning.

Virgo is the sign of childbirth as the symbol shows three Leo's or individuals side by side representing father, mother and child. An x at their north node legs connects the mother and child. The x is a reproduction symbol, which is seen again in the sign of Sagittarius. The x's can be different. A simple x emphasizes the fixed cross of signs and indicates birth by natural selection, while a variant x seen in Sagittarius (o) or the cardinal cross + that emphasizes the Aries-Libra axis indicates a chosen birth. Many signs have been associated with different aspects of reproduction, including, Cancer with home and motherhood, Libra with partners, marriage and love, Scorpio with sex, Leo with 18 children and romance, and Virgo with both virginity and fertility. Overall it is not a well-understood or settled issue. In this interpretation, Virgo symbolizes reproduction, with Cancer and Leo having preparatory functions that nurture and raise the growing child in the maternal home in Cancer, then on to maximal reproductive-fitness and attractiveness in Leo, at which point the person can reproduce or not in Virgo. There are at least eight places in the symbols that indicate that the Lunar Nodes should be placed on the Aries-Libra axis at birth. 1) First in Gemini where the diamond pattern emphasizes the cardinal cross of signs and the two main axis that have to be fulfilled for individual and social developmental perfection. 2.) The asteroid Pallas Athena, concentrates on the same Gemini diamond symbolism, which in total is the universe of scientific knowledge that supports the longevity project. 3.) In Virgo where the mother and child's North Nodes are joined at the end of the symbol. The end of the sign of Virgo is 0 degrees Libra. It suggest that in each new generation, both mother and child would share that common placement for the North Node in their natal horoscopes. 4.) In the symbol of Libra where the Nodal symbol straddles a horizontal line (representing the Aries- Libra axis). 5.) The variant x in the symbol for Sagittarius o, again emphasizes the horizontal Aries-Libra axis. The Renaissance version more pointedly emphasized the cardinal cross and the op cusp point, which is the proposed rulership point for Uranus k, which similarly emphasizes the cardinal cross and the top of the natural zodiac wheel. 6.) In the Capricorn symbol where the Aries symbol is connected to the South Node leg of a South Node Symbol. If you position the North Node at 0°u, then the South Node will automatically be connected to 0°Aries. 7.) The Saturn symbol also seems to imply that positioning the lunar nodes on q-u axis would be beneficial by aligning the body symbols weakest point (where the Saturn glyph breaks) with the sagren.bmp, virgo8.bmp , matryo.bmp 19 collective organisms strongest point, 0°[, that is where both halves of the collective mind have a tendency to find common advantage, cooperate, and act as one. Like Jupiter, the ruler of Aquarius, it is a lucky spot, based on synergy between potentially antagonistic forces. 8.) The Jupiter symbol joins 1+2 at a cardinal cross, showing hemispheric unity resolved by individual perfection, not political constructions, which are usually the goal. In summary, children would be born only every 18 years; a class at a time, with similar horoscopes regarding the Lunar Nodes position. Below are the most common of the astrological sub-symbols, found in part or whole in the glyphs.

+, a longevity symbol, a chosen birth, 12 times x naturally selected birth, 2 times A lunar nodal symbol, a body symbol, 9 times q soul symbol, 6 times O earth symbol, 6 times s Moon symbol, 5 times

Libra is the sign of peace and social stability as it is a Leo (individual body) symbol underlined, representing an environment of social support and political stability. The ends of the nodal legs are equilibrium symbols showing the proper position for the lunar nodes to be exactly on the Aries-Libra axis. The reason is that there is a basic psychological division that splits the twelve signs at the Cancer-Capricorn axis. The left half is orientated toward the soul and heaven while the right half is orientated toward the body and its natural environment, the earth. The bottom line symbolizes the social infrastructures both familial and public, which support the individual’s wellbeing. A Libran psychological attachment to personal and collective safety (peace) may derive from its position on the defensive end of the Imperialism equation, opposite to the center point of the West, 0° Aries. The planetary ruler (most affinity with the sign) of Libra is Venus which is similarly characterized by attributes of attraction, like beauty, love, accommodation, diplomacy and justice. They are refined traits that need protection, defense and support to flourish in a dangerous world/universe. So by placing the factor (the nodes of the moon) that has the most to do with our associations at 0° Aries and Libra you are astrologically bridging the collective mind and human associations in the world at their most balanced position. It is an attempt to astrologically balance in the individual his or her connection to a bipolar collective mind and real world associations.

Scorpio is two Leo's or individuals pushing a goal or arrow. It represents group movements of all sizes. At the global level it represents world socialism and a unified World. Scorpio and its opposite sign Taurus form the economic axis of the horoscope with Taurus indicating individual, family or corporate resources and Scorpio indicating public resources and infrastructure that also materially Librae.bmp, scorpe.bmp, scorp9.bmp, matryo.bmp 20 supports the individual as well as the social organism. When the Scorpionic psychology (socialism, group welfare, public infrastructure) is repressed by the state then the psychology surfaces as smaller closed groups like mafias, crime families, youth gangs, motorcycle gangs and ethnic religious or political separatist groups whose main themes are power, control, shared welfare and goals. When further persecuted as groups they can turn nihilistic, terroristic, and suicidal. The idea of the segmented scorpion in Scorpio is that if the first Leo or individual doesn't push the arrow in the same direction as the second one, then he may get the stinger. It is nihilistic justice with self-sacrifice. The Scorpio says you are either for me or you're against me, and if you're against me then we are going to fight. It's the sign of warfare and politics. Scorpios are the ultimate team players and on the grandest scale their team is the peoples march towards fulfillment of the Worlds goals. The wellspring of Scorpionic emotion, which they are noted for, is the subterranean desire of the masses for social justice, usually interpreted as economic democracy, however the symbol implies a more transcendent concern for future survival of the Earth in a world-threatening cosmos. When expressed properly it represents collective goal and collective idealism not individual perfection, which is the focus of the following signs of Sagittarius and Capricorn. Russia is the dominant country in the Scorpio sector of the astro-geographic overlay and its territory lies in the geographic corridor through which Western armies have attacked the East in modern times. That is the physical (geographic) basis for the development of Scorpio’s martial characteristics of strategic thinking, secrecy, and concern with physical power. The Scorpio psychology developed in response to innate Western Imperialism, which is an organismal stage of global social evolution. The astro-geographic overlay theory seems to imply that the structure of the reincarnational soul development cycle, (the swirl of the zodiac) out of the tropics is based first on geologic evolution of a centralized continental system centered on Africa that forced demographic patterns which in turn determined the psychic (collective mind) power balance. See Aries p. 7-10. It turns out that psychic power is real power in a bi-polar mind and can only be changed by altering the biologic base that generates the mind, presumably by changing the population ratio of the two hemispheres. The Scorpio sector of the astro-geographic overlay evolved the military attitudes and resultant power necessary to defend the Eastern hemisphere from usurpation of the power balance by the Western hemisphere. It evolved in response to social-development dynamics of a contentious bi-polar organism that is pre-destined by necessity for political unity. Scorpio symbolizes group efforts and social movements. In history these movements have mostly been associated with wars and revolutions, all of which have been hard on the individuals whose lives were subordinated to that historic process. Nuclear war would have been the ultimate subordination of the individual to that collective process because nuclear war may involve soul death (not just regular death), for billions of souls because of the disruption of the biosphere reincarnation environment. Fortunately we have been spared that unspeakable sacrifice for now, with the peaceful ending of the Cold War, but the threat remains as intolerable as when pointed out by President Kennedy in (9-25-1961) in an address before the General Assembly of the United Nations. "Today, every inhabitant of this planet must contemplate the day when this planet may no longer be habitable. Every man, woman, and child lives under a nuclear sword of Damocles, hanging by the slenderest of threads, capable of being cut at any moment by accident or miscalculation or by madness." As philosophers Scorpio’s are concerned with real-politics; politics based on practical and material factors. If you are looking for a more complete philosophy, you will have to go to the sign 21 above it, Sagittarius, which ends at the top of the wheel and includes the goal of individual perfection (maximum growth and longevity). When Stalin was asked if he wanted the Pope as an ally he asked in reply, "How many divisions does the Pope have?" If you want to find out if a person has socialist sympathies then examine the Pluto/Scorpio/8th house factors in the horoscope. Does the person have a lot of planets in Scorpio or the 8th house, Scorpio's natural house i position? Are there conjunctions or other aspects to Pluto from the other planets? When Scorpio/Pluto factors are strong these people will be interested in politics, social justice issues, and have socialistic sympathies. Scorpio types understand and value physical power or force in personal and social relationships. They will likely be secretive and strategic thinkers, analyzing people and situations for ulterior motives. If they live in the USA or a Western country that is not friendly to Scorpio psychology (anti-socialistic) the person may have feelings of persecution, paranoia and depression, but not know the social-psychological context of their alienation. Scorpio's geographic location (NE quadrant) in the astro-geographic overlay diagram is geo- strategically important. Scorpio is the sign, psychology, and people the majority spirit has used to counter the primary military aggressions of Western Imperialism during the hyperactive last two centuries that includes French, German and American led Western Imperialism. Before that period the Scorpionic Tartar-Mongol Empire (1206-1480) that sprang out of the Scorpio sector in the Siberian steppes was used to conquer and militarize the Eastern Hemisphere. The conquered states evolved into much stronger centralized regimes (Ottoman-Turkey, and Muscovy Russia) that were able to stop the European crusades and take control of the middle ground until the 20th century. Before that the Hun invasion, (originating from the Scorpio sector) had a large part in the downfall of Imperial Rome and the shift of the Roman Empire capitol to Byzantine Constantinople. When World political unity is finally resolved, Scorpio will continue to be the core sign of physical social power for the collective mind, but perhaps with an added orientation of goals to include generation of a long-lived political class, as symbolized by the alternate Scorpio and Pluto glyph where the arrow points up and not out. Popularizing longevity would be a more sophisticated method of politically uniting the hemispheres than one based on physical power. Power would then concentrate in the virtuous (through democracy) who would govern from the top of the wheel (0°p), the symbolic resolution point of hemispheric unity.

The early Greek Hellenistic zodiac featured Libra as the claws portion of great Scorpio (a duel sign). See Antikythera dial p. 74. Libra, as the scales, was a Babylonian constellation, reintroduced in post Hellenistic times.(Thompson 2001) The Scorpion is reaching for the scales. It points to the close psychological connection between justice issues, political power and international stability (peace). A difference between the two signs, is that Libra is orientated to familial and individual justice issues, coming as it does after the familial quadrant and the (Aries-Libra axis) that signifies partnerships of any variety. On the other hand, Scorpio 0.is focused on macro-justice issues at the trans-familial, state and international level. Capitalism versus Socialism: In the glyph system the 6 upper hemisphere social signs are more complex social-expressions of individual or family orientated signs in the lower hemisphere. The developmentally more complex social expression incorporates the subordinate lower sign. It is illogical to make the upper social sign subordinate to the less-developmentally advanced lower sign, because the individuals survival is dependent on survival of the macro-organism. Capitalism frequently subverts democracy by shifting economic power to the upper class, which in turn uses that economic power to plutocratically control government policy. It is a power issue because plutocratic control inhibits the ability of the state to organize the welfare and survival of the social organism. The West may insist on capitalism because it is an indirect way to achieve control of political destiny through plutocracy, despite its demographic deficit. Land ownership (the unmovable base of fixed Taurian-wealth) may need to be under final control of the state in order to insure its power of action is not subservient to plutocratic control of state resources and political bodies, which are supposed to decide collective policies democratically.

Scorpio’s Space Role: Eventually the sun will burn up and we will be forced to relocate the planets populations to a new planet in a different solar system. That massive engineering problem will fall to Scorpio the central sign in the trans-familial social organization quadrant which includes Sagittarius and Libra. The Mars glyph, g associated with Scorpio and Aries indicates intra-galactic

relocation of planetary populations may be a recurring problem, common to all planetary civilizations. If Alpha Centuari is the best destination for relocating the Earth's populations, because of its proximity to our solar system, then it may be instructive to examine the evolved symbolism for the constellation Southern Centuarus, which contains Alpha Centuari, part of a binary-star in a three star system. Overall constellation = Centuarus Lupus Crux, longitude 29°i, declination 60° South. Alpha Centuari άβ, = Toliman, Bungula, Hadar – left foreleg, knee, or left hoof. The symbolism evolved from a Taurian bull-centaur, (minotaur) that emphasizes attachment to carnivorous based diets, with Lupus (cow and rabbit) as symbols of attachment to animal husbandry and animal based diets.

Centuarus Lupus offering a lioness and foliage. 15th century interpretation of al-Sufi, a 10th century Persian astronomer. See variant below. (Stall 1996)

Later the centaur became a true horse-centaur (like Sagittarius) and Lupus became a wolf being killed by the centaur or an even more benign centaur (Chiron) offering both animal and/or plant based diets, perhaps at different stages of organismal development. For example animal and plant based nutrition until maturity and vegan thereafter. That change in animals and the introduction of plants as an alternative to animal nutrition may symbolize the transition from x to +, that is from short-lived humans, to Sagittarian extended longevity necessary for human space travel.

Carnivory inhibits longevity by turning off survival genes related to dietary-restriction methods of activating survival/longevity genes. Fat and protein abundance in the body turns off survival/longevity genes that may be used to regulate reproductive quiescence and longevity. The transformation of Centuarus Lupus suggest that longevity knowledge, coming from Sagittarian science, will compel society to eat vegan based, symbiotically-created foods that may generate the longevity phenotype. Cent5.bmp Cent7.bmp Teapot.bmp Centuars2.pdf Galax1.pdf 25

Plant-animal symbiosity can produce food compositions that maximize specific longevity genes. The symbolism in the Persian Centuarus (above) suggest exploitation of that strategy. Perhaps reestablishing natural habitats for large herbivore, plant-animal symbiosity, destroyed in the mega- faunal extinctions 10,000 years ago, could revive nature’s best laboratories for selecting beneficial food-compositions aimed at human-like mammals. The substitution of the teapot for the arrow of Sagittarius also emphasizes the dietary component of longevity control. The use of various teas in maintaining a restricted diet routine is well appreciated by the serious dieter. Sagittarius is shooting toward the galactic center and perhaps the exit door of our Milky Way Galaxy beyond sidereal Sagittarius, but also at Lupus and the science of the aging-riddle that Lupus represents. Both space faring centaurs must answer the central question “What’s for dinner?” simply because nutritional restriction is the most reliable environmental manipulation known, for regulating longevity/survival genes. The Tropical zodiac glyph system symbolizes the situation of organismal life on our planet within our solar system. Today there is not enough knowledge about our Milky Way Galaxy to logically infer a extra-solar system source of astro-logical inputs, that mimic the local tropical system. On the other hand the belief persist that a connection exist between the two reference systems. Both our solar system and the Milky Way galaxy are flattened disk with super massive active centers; especially the Galactic center which is 4.3 million times the mass of our Sun. The galactic center is analogous to being the Sun of our Sun. The galactic center is located on the Sagittarius/Scorpio border in the sidereal zodiac, suggesting a preferred route of space exploration, colonization, and migration for both space-faring signs i-o. Our Sun is located in Gemini relative to that Gemini/galactic center/ Sagittarius axis. The name Milky way and galaxy (via lactae) both suggest mammalian life will predominate in all habitable solar systems of galaxies. Perhaps the political dynamics of hemispheric antagonistic polarity will be mimicked and the problem overcome in the future development of a Galaxy wide political organization, with a less Earth–centric orientation. Sagittarius is the combination of astrologically planned birth and space travel. The two together will mark the boundaries of philosophy, that is to say, what is scientifically possible in terms of individual and collective survival within the solar systems of the Galaxy and larger Universe. The x on the arrow, like the x in the Virgo symbol represents reproduction. Sagittarius's x can emphasizes the Aries-Libra axis indicating a chosen (planned) birth, or a standard fixed cross x representing birth by natural selection. It probably indicates a two track approach to space colonization and survival schemes. The first involving long-lived astronauts, and the later a strategy of seeding strategic planets suitable for human life with starter organisms designed to boost hyper-evolution in those potential destinations for colonization. Sagittarius is the sign of philosophy (the big picture) but all philosophy depends on science. The arrows of Scorpio and Sagittarius indicate both signs interest in outer space however the arrow of Sagittarius suggest a larger part in distant space projects while Scorpio’s space-work is orientated toward survival of our civilization in the local Galaxy. Centaur and Centauri both come from the 26 sagite.bmp

Latin word for 100 suggesting long-lived people may be necessary for space travel outside of the Earth’s biosphere. The main danger of space travel is that it removes one from the earth’s biosphere which is assumed necessary for reincarnation. Theoretically to die in outer space threatens the person with soul loss (terminal annihilation) as further reincarnation would be blocked. The astrological symbols suggest reincarnation is a reality and that it would be prudent to avoid manned space travel until the science of the reincarnating soul is better understood. Another time that we are theoretically threatened with soul loss is during global nuclear war, because the huge numbers involved in the destruction would make it difficult for the remaining copulating species of life to reabsorb all the returning souls upon their descent from heaven. The majority of these souls may come to rest on the surface of the earth and would end their existence in that environment, which is as non-intellectually uncomfortable as heaven was pleasurable. If the ground is radioactively hot then it would be a true hell, but either way there would be no further progress for those souls. Since the discovery of the outer planets (Uranus in 1781, Neptune in 1846, and Pluto in 1929) they have been slowly integrated into the previous astrological model. Uranus became the ruler of Aquarius and Jupiter became the ruler of Sagittarius. I would switch those two. The symbolism in this present interpretation suggests Jupiter and Aquarius both describe the collective mind. Uranus would become the ruler of philosophical Sagittarius, because you cannot properly answer questions about philosophy, theology, psychology, social k ! psychology and history without astrology and Uranus is the planet of Astrology. Furthermore the function of Uranus as mediator of hemispheric antagonism, through individual longevity, symbolically operates best from the top of the wheel but coming from the Sagittarian side. The Uranus symbols also emphasize the apex of the natural zodiac wheel. That switch is the only change recommended. The planets are associated with particular signs based on similar psychological meaning, traditionally called rulership. See proposed asteroid co-rulerships p. 40-43. SIGN RULERSHIP ARIES – MARS LEO - SUN SAGITTARIUS - URANUS TAURUS – VENUS VIRGO – MERCURY CAPRICORN - SATURN GEMINI – MERCURY LIBRA - VENUS AQUARIUS - JUPITER CANCER – MOON SCORPIO - PLUTO PISCES - NEPTUNE

Capricorn is the sign of long life as it is the combination of an Aries (soul) symbol connected to the south node leg of a south node symbol. The south node symbolizes the second half of life. The symbolism is that of a mature soul (one capable of long-term existence in heaven) connected to a mature body type (human). This combination puts the emphasis on the second half of life, making for a strong finish or old age. Traditionally Capricorn is the sign of authority figures such as the father, boss, chief executive, or king. Capricorn introduces the quadrant of the Zodiac (p [ ]) of developmental completion and body/soul maturity. That developmental association with the completed product naturally confers attitudes of exceptionalism, superiority, and the ideal, plus the desire and expectation to rule. While the molecular biology of human longevity is unknown, intense aging research is now focused on resolving those questions. The current intensification on longevity research may be associated with the current and recent transits of the outer three planets in Sagittarius and Capricorn, the signs most associated with longevity. Those are Pluto’s transit over the vertical Cancer-Capricorn, growth- longevity axis, and the top of the Zodiac hemispheric-divide. Pluto transits o-p from 1995-2024, with the midpoint at 0°p transited in 2008. The other pertinent outer planet configuration is the 1993 conjunction of Neptune and Uranus in Capricorn that also signals a new spike of interest in the longevity project, which will unfold during the following 172 year period. One degree Capricorn (December 22-23) is a suitable degree to celebrate the birth of an everlasting Messiah character. Even if the Bible is non-historical and only symbolically telling a story with collective mind inspiration, there may be wisdom from that sentient intelligence observing life histories uninterrupted for ages. The Old Testament records 26 long lived people, all but one (Sarah), are males (Genesis, 5:3-Job, 42:16). They ranged in age from 110 years for Joseph to 969 years for Methuselah. Seven of the first ten had over 900 years but as time passed the ages decreased and when Jacob (also called Israel) was asked by the pharaoh of Egypt how old he was he answered that he was 130 years old but that his days had been "short and full of sin" and that he would not obtain the age of his famous ancestors (Genesis 47:9). Notable, is the correlation of early reproductive activity with shorter life spans as extreme life-spans decreased over time. All of the early long-lived patriarchs recorded in Genesis had their children after they were at least 65 years old. (see table) Lifetimes decreased from 900 years to 120 years because "The way of the flesh had corrupted its way upon the earth." Genesis 6:11,13.

References in the Old and New Testament to a relationship between sex and death: 1. The last book of the Bible mentions 144,000 virgins who are without guile (deceit), who follow the Lamb of God upon his return and sing a song that the rest of the people can't learn because they have been defiled by women. (Revelations, 14:1,5). 2. "It is good for man not to touch woman. Yet for fear of fornication let each man have his own wife, and let each woman have her own husband.... But this I say by way of concession, not by way

"I say to the unmarried and to widows, it is good for them if they so remain, even as I, but if they do not have self control, let them marry, for it is better to marry than to burn." Corinthians 7:8,9 4. "The wisdom that descends from above is first of all chaste." St. James 3:18 "But everyone is tempted by being drawn away and enticed by his own passion. Then when passion has conceived, it brings forth sin; but when sin has matured, it begets death." St. James 1:14,16 5. "Thou didst bow thyself to women, and by thy body thou wast brought under subjugation." Thou hast stained thy glory and defiled thy seed, so as to bring wrath upon thy children, and to have thy folly kindled." Ecclesiastes 47:21, 22 6. "O how beautiful is the chaste generation with glory, for the memory thereof is immortal: because it is known both to God and to man." Wisdom 4:1 7. "What, O beloved of my womb, O beloved of my vows. Give not thy substance to women..." Proverbs 31:2,3 8. "If there be among you any man, that is defiled in a dream by night, he shall go forth out of camp, and shall not return before he be washed with water in the evening: and after sunset he shall return to the camp." Deuteronomy 23:10,11 The Bible seems to correlate (early in life) increased reproductive activity, with short lifespan. It also correlates (late in life/delayed) reproductive activity, with the longest-lived and most ancient ancestors.

Resent research seems to confirm that notion of a tradeoff between longevity and reproduction. (Tabatabaie 2011) Using a cohort of long-lived Ashkenazi Jewish centenarians (average age ~100) as compared with an Ashkenazi cohort without exceptional longevity, the centenarians had fewer children, were older at first childbirth and at last childbirth. The lower number of children in both genders together with the pattern of delayed reproductive maturity is suggestive of constitutional factors that might enhance human life span at the expense of reduced reproduction. 29 cape.bmp Bible_patri.pdf

Aquarius is the sign of the collective mind. The waves in the symbol suggest two series of Leo's or individuals connected to each other at their nodes. These two groups of individuals form the demographic base of the majority and minority halves of the collective mind. You can think of the collective mind as a huge brain covering the whole world where the cells of the brain are people, animals, and the souls in heaven (an unknown quantity). The psychic interconnection (from soul to soul) of all these units forms a bipolar mind wherein both lobes generate thought and are able to stimulate individual members thereby influencing their thinking and behavior. This mind is divided geographically at the Middle East with the dominant half of the mind drawing its constituents from the more populated eastern half of the world. The Aquarius symbol’s placement in the upper Western quadrant of the astro-geographic overlay indicate that quality (complexity and knowledge depth) are important in where the collective minds attention normally resides. Gross psychic power may be important in a confrontation between the hemispheres but the normal focus and attraction of the collective mind may reside geographically where the ideation is most complex, and advanced in knowledge. That would be the quadrant of the zodiac p-] associated with developmental maturity and the advanced cultures of the upper West quadrant; Europe through North America. That bias may change with the internet distribution of knowledge, education access, and economic development in the East and Southern hemisphere but the inherent advantage of the upper West quadrant in producing developmentally more complete individuals will remain a psychological advantage.

1 The function of the collective mind is symbolized by the glyph (symbol) for Jupiter, wherein the number (1), representing the western half of the mind is superimposed on the number (2), representing the demographically-dominate eastern half, forming in the process a cardinal cross with the ascendant (left) side emphasized. Number one (1) represents the western hemisphere in general, and in particular those people in the Capricorn through Pisces sectors of the astro- geographic overlay (corresponding geographically to Eastern Europe through the United States). Those signs (Capricorn through Pisces) are the last leg of the soul’s reincarnational journey through the Zodiac “Animal Way”. They are no longer concerned primarily with earthly (body) existence, which is the theme of the Eastern hemisphere but are now orientated toward soul centered themes characterized by individual developmental completeness. They are themes like the long-lived master in Capricorn, the master of ceremonies’ and group dynamics in Aquarius, and the Piscean search for ways to bring the ideal and perfection into their lives which somehow mimics the psychology of Heaven. This geographically favored quadrant, relative to both individual and social developmental quadrants, is the justification of Western civilization’s pride and claimed right to World dominance. Their historical lead in the sciences and high culture may justify their pride but not their Imperialism, at least not in the majority spirit’s (Eastern half of the collective mind) view. 2 Number two (2) represents the Eastern hemisphere, which is the body side of the collective mind. Here lie the majority of humans and animals whose evolutionary station is concerned with physical existence on earth, but that is not to say, that the Eastern hemisphere is not interested in the highest realms of intellectual knowledge or human developmental perfection. Sagittarius and its ruler Uranus fully compete with any aspect of proposed NW quadrant developmental superiority. Two (2) dominates the collective mind because the minds power is in numbers. It is a type of neurological democracy and number two simply has more votes, although complexity of thought in the Northwest quadrant may chronically draw the collective mind’s attention to that sector, as symbolized by the emphasis of the Capricorn/Aquarius cusp and Jupiter as symbols of the collective mind.

Jupiter is the principle of bringing two things together and getting more than the sum of the parts. 1+2 = 4 with Jupiter. It is the addition of the psychic network itself formed by the expanded psychic network from soul to soul among the individuals. Seen on a small scale it is a psychic field formed by the group, for example with a school of fish or flock of birds moving in unison. Many sensitive people think they feel a step-up of energy when one joins a group at a party, a meeting of even a market place with a lot of people present. The energy may seem higher because of the density of the psychic field. The increased energy in the individual is immediately increased and typically causes one to be more anxious, nervous, and muscularly more tense. If a person is in good health this step up of energy is experienced as pleasurable and exciting but if the person is in poor health the experience is uncomfortable. It is like pressurizing a garden hose with water; all systems get a check and the weak or damaged areas draw ones attention. Also the group itself and individual members may feel/sense your condition on a certain level of consciousness and are either attracted to you or repulsed by you depending on your state of health and comfort. The group will eventually expel members who are chronically ill at ease with the group's higher level of energy. Perhaps it is a characteristic of group peer pressure dynamics that have not yet been physiologically described. The Aquarian personality is particularly drawn to and adept at handling group energy. If their health is good, then they are universal in accepting people to their group and need to have a good reason to reject anyone (even animals). With them it is more the merrier and all are accepted. It is not a matter of ideology, but an intuitive affinity for [group psycho-dynamics. Satisfying the full mind is the dominant urge. This desire to maintain and extend the group regardless of ideological boundaries and allegiances makes the Aquarian psychology antithetical to hemispheric competition because division or factionalism destroys the power of a collective mind (either small or large). Aquarian psychology may be a major impediment to Western Imperialist unity, especially in Europe. The [ cusp zone seems prone to balkanization, where Western Imperial solidarity is more vulnerable to intellectual heresy, protest, and counter interpretation. Historically it was the zone of intrusion from the East, from Hun, Mongol, and Ottoman Turkey invasions, that directly or indirectly countered early expressions of Western Imperialism, as Imperial Roman and Catholic-crusader Imperialism. If there is dissonance in the European Aquarius zone it is probably the result of Eastern hemisphere values being repressed in the Macro-European body politic for the sake of Western Imperial goals. These are the half/happy cultures, like the UK, Greece and the six Balkan states not members of the EU. That dissonance will probably go away when the harmony and universal inclusion Jupiter/Aquarius symbolizes is implemented locally and more importantly at the world

32 level. See table above for Eastern hemisphere attributes like socialism and democracy. Aquarians have an attitude that seems to recognize and respect the inherent democratic nature of the collective mind, which leads them to be broad minded, inclusive, and democratic in their approach to the world's problems. Great Britain, situated in the middle of the Aquarius sector of the astro- geographic overlay, seems particularly Aquarian. Perhaps being a large island aided its ability to act and think independently of European Imperialist movements. They have played a central part in resisting the great Western Imperialistic thrust of the last 200 years. You can see this in their opposition to French and German Imperialism invasions of the East. Although they had their own imperialistic period with global colonization, their colonialism was perhaps more benign than other colonizers. They left behind a legacy of civil law, human rights, democracy, and most of all a world language tied to the vocabulary of science and philosophy which has its roots in Greek and Roman language. A World language was inevitable but significant in that a very Aquarian nation was the agent of its spread and that it spread from the Aquarian sector of the overlay. The British flag is a symbol of the collective mind, in that it is the confluence of vectors at a central point (cardinal cross superimposed on a fixed cross). The X represents birth by natural selection while the + cardinal cross represents a planned birth. The two together may symbolize the co- evolution of an aristocratic and a common social tradition in British history. The cosmic order of the solar system is responsible for evolution, and the day-to-day events of nature. What is being described in the symbols of Aquarius and Jupiter is over and above the level of inanimate causation. The collective mind represents a potential second level of causation (collective mind/will) just as the human mind represents a third level of causation (human mind/will). Astrology cosmologically differentiates the planetary inputs to those minds processes. In the scheme presented here Pluto/Scorpio psychology is the lead planet/sign motivating number 2 coming as it does from the trans-familial social quadrant of the Eastern hemisphere. That reasoning is in line with the Platonic concept of the demiurge (public worker) god component being the dominant fraction that molds matter first at the level of mind. It is also in agreement with the description of Ptah, the demiurge of Egypt who also created first as a mind which brings it’s plans to reality through the word/logos. See Ptah p. 69. Pluto was only overruled by Jupiter, the king of the Olympian Gods.

ZEUS – JUPITER: In his book on Greek religion Burkert (Burkert 1985) explains Zeus/Jupiter as “the planning mind, that is always stronger than man; what his plans are is often still concealed, but Zeus has his goal and will attain it.” In Homer, he holds in his hand a golden scale. Speaking allegorically,

33 Gem1.bmp

Zeus’s function is that of a sentient judge that apportions fate in accordance with the extant psychic inputs of the moment, which must be fought out (will of the Gods). Because Pluto has a proportional demographic advantage over the other cosmic Gods he can be seen as the most powerful single input in the equation, and was sometimes characterized as chthonic or Earth Zeus, the other Zeus of the dead. Pluto/Hades as the dominant subterranean earth God that along with the chthonic earth Goddesses, Persephone and Demeter/Ceres indirectly feed the crops that support the population advantage of (2) the East. Thus (h) Jupiter (the sky father) merges 1+2 proportionately, but in reality with a Plutonian population bias built into fate by natural laws, like unequal continental partitioning which give 2 a population based psychic advantage. Zeus works his will into fate very selectively to correct apportioned-fate to his minds plan. Again in Burkert “For Zeus first and foremost is the strongest of the Gods. He can challenge the others.” Proportional fate must be played out in space and time but Zeus can overstep those boundaries, however the other Gods do not welcome this, and he intervenes only to achieve his plans goal. Otherwise order and custom are preserved. Zeus’s consort wife Themis was the goddess of ordinance (natural or divine law), and their daughter was, Dike the goddess of justice. In that way justice, law and good council are major themes of Zeus’s authority. His creature was the overseeing eagle. Selective procreation seems to be Zeus’s preferred method of altering fate. The Greek’s Zeus was sexually prolific, fathering Gods and demigod heroes (~ 115) as fixed and temporary agents, who mould history to fit his minds plan. When Zeus needs a special character to effect a particular change, he inserts that character at birth in a loving family, which is the safest way to insure the agents success. The family itself may be made dynastically selective for a particularly important social goal. Ultimately though he wants his plan to become automatic (the result of human selective- procreation) designed to stabilize and maximize the welfare of individuals and the collective social organism. Zeus codified his self-description first in the oral epic poetry of ancient and archaic Greece. That solidified into the literary genealogies of the Olympian Gods and histories of the demigod heroes of Thebes and Troy, which came to occupy the Greek mind and religion in the archaic, classical and Hellenistic periods (800-53 BCE). Later under the influence of late Hellenistic science, the cosmologic basis for that self-description became distinct in the nascent astrology system. The modern glyph system (circa 1400 CE Renaissance) further refined Zeus’s plan, which is only now becoming scientifically comprehensible and actionable. If viewed in the longest perspective, cosmic migration within the local galactic and universal solar- systems may be a type of collective-organism reincarnation, which will cause an endless evolution of our Zeus/Jupiter collective mind, as it becomes fit for survival by adapting to diverse solar-system environments. Temporary Trinity: The symbolism of Jupiter and Aquarius can help explain the trinity mystery of

34

Planet_inputs.pdf Christian religion, wherein the two halves of the collective mind focus at the soul and consciousness of an especially attractive individual. Here the Father is the majority spirit, the Holy Ghost is the minority spirit and the Son is the human component that serves to physically mediate the confluence of psychic energy. One function of the long-lived phenotype may be to fill that role of host, compeer, or master of ceremonies at mass convocations (political or religious). This most fit and favored leader would be attractive to both hemispheric spirits and the individuals who compose those spirits. The increased psychic energy temporarily generated at such events may be associated with the religious concepts of beatific visions in the human host and miracles. The Monstrance, used in Catholic ceremony to display the host to the congregation on special occasions is a good symbol of the individual psychic vectors that converge at the soul and consciousness of the host, compeer, or master of ceremonies in group or mass gatherings where the group energy can converge at one human soul. With the monstrance, a consecrated host (bread) is put in a glass case in the center of the Monstrance symbolizing the Son or Christ. The symbols of Jupiter and Aquarius do not seem to imply that the halves of the collective mind can merge into an independent new consciousness, but can perhaps simultaneously merge at the consciousness of an especially fit individual person due to the normal connection of collective mind with individual minds. It seems to imply that the collective mind senses the physical world indirectly through human and other animal's senses like eyes and ears.

The Age of Aquarius: The physical effect of aligning the Spring date with a particular sign is to orientate the most genitive (biologically expansive) part of the calendar year to that sign, in the Northern hemisphere for 21.6 centuries. That may create a subtle bias in the collective mind toward the psychology associated with the background sign. It seems to be a generalized effect, much weaker than the more specific effects of outer planet transit cycles ( conjunctions between kl;) that occur within the same time-frame. A complete cycle of axial precession (Precession of the equinoxes) is about 25,920 years or 2160 years per sign if measured in 12 equal parts. The two zodiac reference systems wereFlage.bmp aligned on March 21, 290 CE coinciding with the beginning of the age of Pisces and the ascendance of Christianity and the age of faith. The Aquarian age begins in 2450 CE which is still 432 years in the future. 80% of the Piscean age is complete in 2015. Notably, the midpoint, (1370 CE) of the Age of Pisces corresponds to the period of Catholic Inquisitions and forbidden book list, the high point of Christian control of beliefs and ideas enforced by the threat of torture and death. See Inquisition for timeline. That trend was not strong enough to dominate the more specific outer-planet conjunctions that brought on the Renaissance, at the same time. Specifically the kl; cycle midpoint conjunction of l; in Gemini in 1398, and the lesser kl conjunction in 1478.

The exact timing of the beginning of the Age of Aquarius is imprecise when measured against the constellational sidereal background because of the lack of agreement on starting point and borders. In those pictures you see the Sun's position is not far from an overlapping and diffused Pisces/Aquarius border. The midpoint of Age periods would logically be stronger in effect than the borders, where the adjacent sign begins to gradually express the new background psychology. 2165 is a popular date among Western Astrologers for the beginning of the Age of Aquarius. Two successive Uranus/Neptune conjunction periods begin to occur in Aquarius then, which extend past the 2450 Aquarian Age border date, so maybe the science of human longevity will have made demonstrable progress by then, plus other Aquarian expressions of Jupiter-like, h hemispheric Current Sun's longitude on the first day of spring (Vernal Equinox). syncretism. Catholicism may undergo an Aquarian transformation as the Age of Aquarius overtakes Pisces, International because Rome and Astronomy Italy are in the Union Aquarian sector of boundaries. the astro- geographic overlay, so they have an underlying talent or bias in that direction. Catholic means universal and the church has always had that goal. Pope Francis is pointing the church in that direction by championing ecumenical and global issues like mass poverty and global warming, but the church is subordinate to the enduring force of Western Imperialism, and until that overriding force is recognized and contained such Age dependant changes will not produce their full Aquarian potential. In some pictures the water bearer is pouring water into the mouth of Pisces Austrinus “Southern Pisces” and into a region of the sky called a sea because of the many water related constellations there, including Cetus the whale, Eridanus the river, Pisces and Southern Pisces. Even Capricorn has a fish tail. Perhaps global warming and a parched earth will be symbolically rescued by the water- bearer. Aquarius is the sign of the collective mind, which is now contentious, and will remain so until the minority spirits ambitions of regime change are permanently checked. That condition may

piaq.bmp piaque.bmp 36 Piaque.pdf require long-lived leaders as Western Imperialism appears to be a very powerful and persistent force rooted in developmental social biology that is subject to dualistic polarity. In any event reversing global warming may be a barometer of the arrival of the Age of Aquarius, although nuclear disarmament under United Nations control would be a surer indicator. If spiritual regime-change does take place, then the East/West population ratios would have to be reversed. Initially the Eastern hemisphere’s population would be reduced by the nuclear war itself and subsequently through population repression in the East, not unlike Nazi Germany’s plans for its post-conquest master race plan. How that spiritual regime-change would affect the natural democratic nature of the collective mind and its subsequent evolution is unknown, but an enforced World plutocracy or some form of controlled demographics would be a radically different reality than a World democracy with naturally evolved demographics. One consequence of a repressed Eastern hemisphere (body side) might be reduced total power of the collective mind. Such a crisis phase in social-psychological development may be normal in planetary organisms, and we may encounter both types of outcome in the local galaxy and beyond.

The horizontal line in the Pisces symbol suggests heaven. The Aries symbol on the top of the line is a mature soul that has developed through air breathing animal species. The mature soul can stay in heaven indefinitely but the Aries symbol on the bottom that is upside down represents a soul that is still developing and after a time will drop back down to Earth and reincarnate in a body. Perhaps the psychic interconnection between all souls is what guides the soul to its new body at conception. Sometimes the Pisces symbol is written with its sides further apart (figure b.), symbolizing the balsamic lunar phase between the waning and waxing phases of the moon. It is the ending of one lunar cycle and the beginning of another representing the afterlife between death and rebirth, with the horizontal line again representing heaven. Pisces is the sign of heaven which is here conjectured to be the tropopause boundary between the troposphere and the stratosphere layer of the upper atmosphere, just below the ozone layer. Perhaps when the body dies, the soul is attracted to and drawn up to this layer where it experiences states of non-intellectual bliss caused by differences in air density, atmospheric pressure or oxygen composition at that altitude. It should be emphasized that the soul and reincarnation are complete mysteries uninvestigated by science.

Planets and asteroids – Chapter II The Sun symbol is a dot (you) in the center of a circle, world symbol. Traditionally the Sun a is the ruler of Leo. It is you as a distinct individual surrounded by the 12 psychological vectors of the zodiac. The Suns position by sign, house, and aspect, shows how and where you radiate your energies into the world. The sign it is in shows you're most basic or core psychological attitude. Satisfy your Sun sign and you are more than halfway to happiness. Traditionally, the Moon is the ruler of Cancer, the most maternal of the signs. Biological s correspondence is the stomach. It is associated with parents, the mother, parental home, food, nurturing, heritage, ancestry, family roots, and genetic inheritance. Where the moon is by sign, house and aspect tells what you are emotionally attracted to and what satisfies you emotionally. The moon has a gravitational role in controlling tides in rivers, oceans and fluids in general. It is the main planet involved in bringing food (in tidal movements) to stationary aquatic animals and plants. The Moon symbol (a waxing crescent moon) points to its role in nurturing growing bodies, emphasizing the Eastern hemisphere group of body orientated signs. The Moon is concerned with the function of growth, in the Leo (body) series of signs stretching around the right side of the wheel. These are the signs concerned with the development of a mature body type. The soul reincarnates through a hierarchy of animal species and the dominant species on Earth is the human. The lunar symbol is often compared with the symbol of a cup, containing, protecting, and nurturing something. In this case it is protecting and nurturing all the living organisms on the zodiac animal way. The lunar symbol is found as a component of w ] d k l ;. The symbol for Mercury d contains the sub -symbols for Taurus w, on top of a d cardinal cross +, a symbol of individual destiny as shown by the natal horoscope. It is a symbol of personal destiny (fate plus free will). Having the cardinal cross symbol under the symbol for the world indicates that the individual’s destiny is subordinated to higher collective destinies (local, state, national, hemispheric, and World), all based on Taurus, as symbolizing geography. Taurus is a Moon symbol over the World symbol, symbolizing geography as shaped over the eons by ocean tides and currents both of which are dependent on the Earth's and Moons motions. The Mercury symbol, d, implies that geography is a factor in what gets said or communicated by Mercury. Mercury was the messenger of the Gods in Greek mythology, a kind of a neutral postman. So Mercury delivers the psychologically prejudiced messages of the local geography starting with your family, then your neighbors, community, region, and country that you incarnated into.

The cardinal cross of signs is a destiny symbol, in that the Cancer/Capricorn, growth/longevity axis intersects with the collective organism’s relationship axis. Both axis can be optimized for the individual; the growth/longevity axis by behavioral and environmental methods, i.e. dietary and reproductive development repression) designed to increase the health span and lifespan of the person. The horizontal social relationship axis can be optimized by an astrological birth time method. With a cardinal cross chosen- birth a more fortunate destiny becomes likely. By ideally aligning the child’s personal and social relations with the collective minds master plan for pacifying E-W antagonistic polarity, the child may become more useful and valuable to the collective mind.

Traditionally, Mercury in your horoscope symbolizes your mind, how you think, and communicate. It is the ruler of Gemini the sign most associated with communications of all kinds and Virgo, a sign noted for analytical and critical thinking. The sign it is in tells what the person likes to think and talk about. Its function is the communication of ideas and information and when strong in the horoscope gives a good communicator and teacher. They hunger for mental stimulation in books, conversation, internet, etc. however the depth of their ideas is sometimes shallow, with a lot of local data but little scientific or philosophical integration. Traditionally the integration of the gross information of Gemini was the function of the opposite sign of Sagittarius, the sign of philosophy and higher learning. The symbol for Venus, f, is composed of a cardinal cross surmounted by the symbol for the world. The world dominates the individual’s destiny in the Venus symbol as he or she is made to serve in a Venus-like, loving way, the geography of their birth by satisfying the needs of the higher collective groups he or she is born into. It is their part in the reproductive biology of the social Cross1.pdf Venus1.bmp organism that is demanded by Venus. The individual's cardinal cross (individual destiny) is subordinated to that collectively necessary biological function. The Venus symbol is seen as a sub- symbol in the symbol for Mercury, d and Uranus, k. The inverted Venus in the symbol of Uranus implies that reproduction is biologically harmful for the individual (in terms of lifespan) and needs to be harnessed for extended longevity and independence from that collective influence on their fate. See Uranus below and last chapter. Venus in the horoscope shows what you are attracted to, what gives you pleasure, and your own powers of attraction. Therefore, it often indicates your mate or partner. When analyzing a horoscope for romance or

Merc123.bmp 39 Cross1.bmp resources, Venus is always considered a primary indicator, because of its rulership of the signs Taurus (the local resource environment one is born into) and Libra, the traditional sign of (one to one) relationships of all kinds, like partnerships and mates. The house, sign and aspects of Venus are looked at. Venus’s primary function is attraction to bring the sexes together to have progeny. The result is the maintenance of the body of the social organism, with specific individuals. Mars is the symbol of the world connected to an arrow pointing out into space, in the g same direction as the arrows of Sagittarius and Scorpio, symbolizing the eventual relocation of the earth’s human populations and perhaps other selected species on the earth to another planet, when the Sun becomes exhausted. More generally Mars symbolizes one World acting in unison. That agrees with the symbolism of Scorpio i, wherein two or more individuals push a goal in unison. All travel outside the biosphere is of course extremely dangerous, because of the threat of soul loss in that environment minus a biosphere. Before the discovery of Pluto, Mars was the ruler of Aries and Scorpio but that changed with the discovery of Pluto in 1930, coincident with the rise of mass populations and socialistic governments. The great conjunction of Pluto and Neptune in the 1890’s coincided with the rise of mass populations world-wide, which will define this 495-yr. l; cycle. That conjunction coincided with many technological discoveries and inventions that facilitated mass population growth. Pluto came to be recognized as having more psychological affinity with Scorpio, based on its association with power, politics and mass movements. Pluto became the ruler of Scorpio and Mars remained the ruler of Aries. The Aries interpretation of Mars energy is very different than Scorpio, in that it is about solitarily energy expression independent of the group’s direction. Aries symbolizes the new or reincarnating soul starting out on a solitary journey that developmentally does not become fully social until the opposite sign of Libra. The competition inherent in the East-West rivalry that motivates Western Imperialism may be accentuated in the Aries character because of its central location on the East- West, Aries-Libra axis associated with antagonistic hemispheric polarity but the Aries personality is mostly focused on its own personal struggle. There is a big difference between the group orientated psychology of Scorpio and the "me alone, distinct from the world" attitude of Aries. Mars is usually not seen as a group or collective energy, but the symbol itself, g, suggest collective World action; so the expression of the Aries psychology may depend on the local environment it reincarnates into and the developmental stage of resolution of Western Imperialism. The Mars symbol is telling us to align our goals with the goals of the World, but currently there is no consensus on those goals. Asteroids: In Greek mythology, the feminine goddesses that were later associated with asteroids in the early 19th century, were virgins or had variable virgin epithets. The asteroid glyphs as interpreted here seem to define feminine aspects of sexuality as it relates to the proposed longevity axis that divides the hemispheres at the Cancer/Capricorn axis. PALLAS ATHENA /MINERVA was a life-long dedicated virgin, where her virginity was in part G the source of her androgynous powers. The symbol G exalts the diamond pattern of an idealized Gemini expression, wherein what is communicated, is the collective minds recipe for developmental perfection (individual and collective). Athena was born from the forehead of

40

Jupiter, a symbol of the collective mind in agreement. She was the virgin goddess of wisdom, and creative intelligence, born fully formed, armed and shouting “victory”. Plato explained in his Cratylus. Athena means God’s mind (theos + nous). Athena, and Jupiter (Zeus) were the two main Gods of ancient Greece, with Zeus’s temple on Mt. Olympus, home of the Olympian Gods and Athena’s temple (the Parthenon) on the Acropolis in Athens, the intellectual and political capital of Greece. There were of course many other Zeus and Athena temple locations. Significantly both sites lie on the Aquarius cusp line in the Astro-geographic overlay of the natural zodiac, using the proposed center point of 30Nx30E (one degree South of Alexandria, Egypt), which incidentally is near Naucratis, the ancient Greek/Egyptian colony that melded Greek/Egyptian culture, trade, and military alliance on the Nile above Memphis. Aquarius symbolism, like Jupiter, describes the collective mind and the Aquarian line is here proposed to be an auspicious zone where the most complex thought occurs due to its location in the “developmental maturity quadrant” of the astro-geographic overlay map. See pp. 6, 32. Athena can be seen as the feminine expression of Jupitarian nous (mind) or master-plan. Part of that plan (the glyph system) involves the androgenation of femininity away from Venusian sexual attraction toward a sex-neutral or androgenic phenotype more fit for longevity. The feminine asteroids all operate from the lower hemisphere signs that are developmentally orientated to early stages of individual development, family and reproduction. They are associated with femininity, with 0° Cancer as the lower-hemispheric mid-point and feminine base of the individual r-p longevity axis. Although Cancer is considered feminine the glyph for Cancer as interpreted here is two quiescent male germ cells. The implication is that there are special longevity benefits in the male reproductive system. The upper hemisphere of social signs midpoint is at 0°p on the masculine end of the longevity axis, a point associated with Uranus, a symbol of demi-god practice through (reproductive development silencing) and the long-lived Capricorn leader figure.

Pallas Athena’s diamond encapsulates the collective-minds plan for personal longevity and hemispheric peace. The mythic personality of Athena describes the effect on femininity, of that plans transformation of the feminine individual. On the surface it may seem like capitulation to masculinity, with loss of intimacy and femininity, but in reality, activation of the biologic laws governing longevity and reproductive development will transform subservient motherhood into a new non-sexual woman, with more powerful and pleasurable attributes, due in part to activation of ancient longevity/survival genes, specifically the sirtuin-FOXO genes. They may positively alter psychologic as well as physiologic effects, including longevity and euphoria. Babies will still get born and be raised but on a different schedule and curriculum, shared by child and mother, as wise educator of the young, a traditional Gemini function. Pallas Athena would rule Gemini from the base of the wheel at the Gemini/Cancer cusp, showing Athena as the guide and anchor of her child, coming from the base of the longevity axis, 0°r. Athena is the feminine counterpart to masculine Uranus at the opposite pole of the r-p longevity axis. Here, Uranus rules Sagittarius from the top of the wheel coming from the Sagittarian side of the cusp. Both Uranus and Athena share dedication to sexual silencing/quiescence for the sake of maximum growth and longevity. The scientific/philosophical masterplan described in the astrology glyph system, is repeated and minimized in the Athena and Uranus symbols which can be further minimized to the cardinal cross symbol, +, the most common sub-symbol in the glyph system. Pallas’s babies are not her own. Like the mythic baby (Erichthonius), she adopted and raised, and her role in guiding the ancient heroes Hercules, Odysseus, Perseus and Jason, her motherhood is functional rather than genetic.

HESTIA-VESTA was a conditional virgin dedicated to maintaining the temple from the age J of 6 until the age of 36. In the present interpretation if she had not arrested her ovulation cycle by then, she could opt-out of her virginity, marry and have a child. The symbol shows stacked Aries (soul symbols) indicating special benefits from repeated incarnations, dedicated to the goal of longevity, even in the absence of longevity success. Many techniques borrowed from sacramental religion, like bar mitzvah, communion as a special life-giving diet, dedication to physical culture seen in the Greek Olympic tradition, communal social structure, development of aegis culture, where-in the individual is exposed to elemental nature occasionally through travel, camping and pilgrimage activity. All would be combined with higher education orientated to understand the biology of aging. Vesta wins regardless of failure to arrest ovulation, by (growing?) the soul within an ideal social structure, like the structure of a college or university, where Vesta matriculates to faculty status. Vesta would be a co-ruler of Virgo, positioned at the Virgo-Libra cusp. H

JUNO symbolizes childbirth either chosen or naturally selected. The reproductive symbols, x and + combine here. Rulership would seem to be Virgo, at the Virgo-Libra cusp. As a chosen-birth mother, she could practice abstinence between births. She was one of the three main Gods of Rome and the Roman Empire. She was honored as the vital, fertile queen who populated the polis and ruling patrician class alike, ensuring the power of the army and state, not unlike Ceres/Demeter below whose feminine fertility served the underworld and goals of the demiurge Pluto. DEMETER/CERES was Goddess of agriculture, especially cereal grains. The scythe symbol F covers the body (t) series of signs Cancer through Aquarius. Ceres and her daughter Persephone were supportive of the power of the underworld by producing the grain basis of (Pluto’s, wealth) and the successful agricultural base of the East that supported its demographic dominance. Persephone was originally a virgin but was abducted from her circle of virgins and forced into service of the underworld as queen mother by Pluto. Perhaps in a post–imperialist world with longevity, they will be liberated from the heavy-handed service demanded by Pluto. When Western Imperialism is resolved Demeter/Ceres and her daughter Persephone may recapture their virginity, sequestering their sexual essence (eggs) for her own longevity at the Cancer/Gemini cusp, thus allowing a superior destiny that extends to the Aquarius/Capricorn cusp, where individual human destinies play social roles, and share collective mind attributes like omniscience, conferred by longevity.

Regulating population growth: The Virgin Queens, GFHJ role in a sex-repressed World, supports and regulates the steady growth of the longevity-phenotype by choosing births, timed by the 18 years +11.3-day lunar node cycle (Soros cycle). The lower hemisphere of signs in the family/clan, S.E. quadrant, is the domain of reproduction, that the asteroid goddesses are concerned with and potentially control, thus giving the liberated woman a powerful social role by her conscious directing of the reproduction, and education of the longer-lived political class members. They are the nexus of a new familial aristocracy, defined by obvious virtues associated with longevity control. Many people pray to God to ask for special help, but the best way to ensure the spirit world has your interest in mind, is to incorporate its chosen-birth strategy into your family planning. In that way the collective mind has a long-lasting interest in you and your family’s success.

Queen-post in architecture are structural elements in a roof truss; half-way distant from the base (tie-beam) to the top, king post (not shown).

Crowding: When some organisms like the soil-worm nematode Caenorhabditis Elegans are grown in a laboratory glass petri–dish, they reproduce to fill the surface of the dish and then stop normal reproduction. They switch to an alternative phenotype call a dauer, which is a semi-dormant, quiescent long-lived animal characterized by activation of longevity-survival genes, slow growth and low reproduction rates. See p.195. We humans have almost filled our petri-dish (the World) and are beginning to produce the counterpart to the nematode dauer, only at a more sophisticated level. The woman liberation movement and homosexuality in general may be expressions of a switch to a non-reproductive phenotype in response to crowding of the World, while the need for humanistic solutions to population build-out is prompting rational approaches to growth control that may include longevity, as suggested in the glyph symbolism. The male-like Athena may be the new model of womanhood as women gain control of their reproductive destiny. In a world where Venus femininity is repressed due to minimum need for babies, a more fit, self-orientated woman develops. The andro-like face of Athena may be a moderate reversion to the gorgon principle that results in sex-repression and activation of survival/longevity genes, only without the more severe terror and fear attributes found in competitive natural environments like the African jungle.

CHI K RO N was discovered in 1977 and assigned as an asteroid or comet between the orbits of Saturn and Uranus. See Wikipedia (2060 Chiron). It was named for Chiron, a mythical centaur associated with the constellation Centuarus, which contains the closest neighboring star to Earth, Alpha Centuari. See pictures in Sagittarius pp. 23-24. In Greek mythology Chiron, like Pallas Athena was as a teacher of many of the Greek heroes like Achilles, Asclepius, Jason, and Heracles. As the most cultured of the centaurs he was famed as a healer, astrologer, and teacher. The glyph as interpreted here is a symbol of remedial actions one can take to correct damage done by harmful behavior done earlier in life, or on a psychological level to correct psychological dissonance caused by Western Imperialism in one’s environment. That part of the meaning applies mostly to the Western hemisphere, which is the source of the Western Imperialism. Chiron is the only glyph besides Uranus where the World symbol is surmounted by another symbol K!k. With the Uranus symbol k, it is an inverted Venus symbolizing the arrest of Venus-like reproduction at maturity with resultant longevity. With the alternate Uranus symbol, the arrow extending up from a Sun symbol is a pro-longevity vector. With Chiron K the vertical line is a on top the world emphasizing the same extra-longevity line but with structural support from the Eastern hemisphere. With Chiron, normal reproductive behavior and normal lifespan is experienced with normal post reproductive genome corruption and age associated death and diseases. The modern Chiron counters that negative fate with two remedial methods. One is the group of environmental and behavioral changes one can take to activate the longevity/survival genes (mostly sirtuin/FOXO gene groups) discussed in the final chapter on aging. The second method is psychological. It is relocation to the longitude between the antagonistic hemispheres, 30°E. That is done to minimize negative psychological inputs into one’s life, which result from background Western Imperialism. While the lore of Chiron is old in Greek mythology, the discovery and use of Chiron in horoscopes is very recent. The symbol suggest relocation can be used to remedy psychological dissonance that impedes personal progress in subtle ways, and suggest that a psychological neutrality and support exist at the middle ground, 30°E, especially if the state is trans-hemispheric, and the political intelligencia astrologically educated. Ukraine is the first trans-hemispheric state to be established since the earlier failed attempts of Byzantium and Hellenistic Greece. Despite Ukraine’s current political problems it has the potential to accommodate E-W integration in the model most favored by the collective-mind, trans-hemispheric democracy. Ukraine may be a favorite relocation destination for Westerners in the future.

The Aegis and Gorgoneion are symbols of protection and power, worn as a goat-skin breast plate or shield, with a scary gorgon face on it, worn by Jupiter and Athena but was portable and could be used by any entity. In this interpretation, the aegis/gorgoneion is the sum of a complex of environmental conditions which can activate the primitive longevity/survival genes, (summarized as Sirtuin-FOXO gene over-expression). When activated they turn on alternative gene-sets, that qualitatively make the organism more fit and active, both physiologically and psychologically, thus

45 conferring protection by transforming the being into a more-fit leader or competitor in all endeavors, mental and physical. Etymologically, the word Aegis in Greek means “violent windstorm”, “I rush or move violently” akin to hurricane. Significantly, one of the most observed characteristics of sirtuin SIRT1 gene over- activation at the organismal level, is the Increased Physical Activity, (IPA) phenotype, seen in calorie restricted animals, sometimes interpreted as a foraging instinct, but may be associated with hyper- kinetic states in general. The organismal range of downstream genes controlled by SIRT1-7 over- expression is among the largest of all the recently identified survival-longevity genes and the target of much current drug development. The growing list of downstream genes includes genes controlling metabolism, cellular stress resistance, control of cellular apoptosis, autophagy, inflammation, cell proliferation, genomic stability and many more that affect most diseases and longevity. Those genetic pathways are currently demonstrated in lower animals, yeast-rodents; however, the SIRT1 dependent increased physical activity phenotype is proposed here to be readily produced in humans by short term (7 day) cassava dieting discussed in the last section. The scary gorgon face is perhaps the ugliness/horror- factor used by species in stressful environmental niches to repress/delay reproduction and thus increase the above longevity/survival genes by the route of sexual development delay, repression. The genetic and molecular mechanisms involved in the survival genes, were poorly described before the 1990’s longevity research revolution, associated with the kl conjunction in Capricorn in 1993. When the Greek hero Perseus cut off the head of the gorgon Medusa that later became the emblem of the gorgon on Athena and Jupiter’s shields, it gorgon represented the sequestering of a perceived gross but useful technique of sex repression, utilized in competitive environments, by many species. Species in competitive environments like Africa may select genetic traits that fashion into the face, sex-averting, warding-off signs of danger, threat, horror and repulsion, that stop the male in its tracks, as if “turning them to stone” or warding them away. Just think of the baboon, boar, or hyena, which primitive man and monkeys competed with, in a struggle that depended on “rushing like the wind” through the treetops and savanna. Perseus isolated the symbol of that ancient pathway of survival/longevity gene activation, by sex repression/delay and gave it to Jupiter and Athena, in a Greek/Roman world that had increasingly decided beauty (sexual attraction) was absolutely beneficial. When humans became the dominant species and pacified the non-African world around 10,000 BCE, beauty, and sexual attraction characteristics became the morphology best suited for rapid reproduction in a wider, less competitive environment. The advantage of population density in warfare added selection pressure for reproductive-genes and resultant sexual-attraction morphology. The gorgon had to go, because

chiron.bmp gorgon.bmp 46 the race was on in the growing, bi-polar, social organism for increased reproduction and population density. Food stress and temperature stress is a feature of the mountain goat’s native environment. The mountain goat adapted to competitive pressure from mountain lions, wolves and coyote predators that demanded the Increased Physical Activity phenotype, as the goats and sheep were chased higher up the mountains. The Increased Physical Activity phenotype carries attributes like balance, agility, and ability to jump, which made it the premier survival gene in physically competitive environments. We can mimic those molecular mechanisms dietarily, in some cases and temporally induce the final result of the protection symbolized by the aegis/gorgoneion. The goat of Capricorn that morphs into a fish tail is emblematic of sirtuin protections, which are strong when young but steadily decline in old age, to weakness and death symbolized by Pisces. The dilemma of the decline of NAD and Sirtuin gene activation in old age and the requirement of NAD/Sirtuin gene activation for longevity is explained in the chapter on aging biology. There are some remedial steps one can take to maintain NAD and Sirtuin gene activation in old age, but most are not easy, like strict dietary restriction and substantial routine exercise or physical work, all of which require a stoic’s discipline, reinforced by a scientific knowledge of why the program is worth the effort. However, the longevity trick is not supposed to be so hard and is predicted in the glyph symbols to require reproductive development suppression starting at puberty in order to avoid the dilemma of the decline of NAD and Sirtuin gene activation in old age and the requirement of NAD/Sirtuin gene activation for longevity which limits normal lifespan. See last chapter for discussion. The Jupiter symbol, like Aquarius is a symbol of the democratic function of the collective h mind, where the psychic inputs from all incarnate souls potentially find common ideational agreement. It is the number one (1) superimposed on the number (2), producing a cardinal cross with the ascendant emphasized (manifesting something). Jupiter shows both halves of the collective mind ideally agreeing in the formation of the long-lived individual. That becomes symbolic of maximum agreement of otherwise separable and contentious mindsets. The ascendant is a point of manifestation, on virtually any level (person, place, thing, idea). Collective mental synergism potentially manifest materially as luck, fortune and increase that Jupiter is noted for. 1+2 = 4 with Jupiter and not 3. The bonus is the network formed as a larger system with more varied inputs. It is the social phenomena of synergy of opposite hemispheric components in a shared realm, for example a trans-hemispheric country or World. Jupiter functions like a supervisor of elections and normally does not overrule apportioned fate except to correct it to his minds primary goals. The number two represents the Eastern demographic majority, coming from the body-side of the astro- geographic overlay which gives mental bias toward t, body-centric goals. The demiurge (public worker) psychology of Pluto/Scorpio encapsulates that mental bias because it is the psychology of socialistic goals that benefit mass populations of both hemispheres. Zeus-Jupiter, in Greek mythology was given credit as the planning mind (nous) that has his goal and the power to achieve it. In the present interpretation Pluto is given credit for being the dominant (urge) directing the democratically apportioned fate symbolized by Jupiter. See Zeus-Jupiter p. 33-34. It appears that

47

Jupiter controls destiny selectively and not everywhere all at once. His thunderbolts are singular or in small bunches. Zeus fosters core goals necessary for his long-term survival and the rest of fate is left to automatic extant proportional cosmologic inputs. The will of the Gods must be fought out; however, it is in Zeus’s interest that the level of violence of the contest does not become a catastrophe for the collective organism symbolized by (h). That concern is confirmed by the glyph systems principle focus on a method of trans-hemispheric unification through chosen births, orientated toward hemispheric peace, by positioning the Lunar Nodes on the Aries-Libra axis at birth. Traditionally, Saturn shows where you are ambitious, and where you will want to make j something solid in the world. Whereas Jupiter is the planet of expansion and increase, Saturn is the planet of contraction and limitations, obstacles, frustrations but also of discipline, concentration and order. The symbol is of a cardinal cross on top of a broken Leo (body symbol) symbolizing the limitation of normal lifespan (death). The Leo or body symbol is cut on the South Node leg of a general nodal symbol. Saturn, j, like Uranus, k, has a cardinal-cross, destiny-symbol that is on the top and not subordinate to other sub- symbols, showing an independent leading destiny, but in Saturn’s symbol the body below the cross appears vulnerable to normal lifespan. In the Saturn symbol shown here, the cross is cutting down on the general nodal symbol at about 120 degrees from 0° Libra. When the lunar nodes are positioned on the Aries–Libra axis at birth. That positioning would align the weakest area of the general nodal symbol, (where the cardinal cross cuts the nodal/body symbol) at the most fortunate degree of the Zodiac, 0° [, a degree where the two halves of the collective mind have the greatest tendency to interact, harmonize and agree at the level of thought. That ideational agreement translates into physical reality as luck, fortune, increase and inclusiveness which jovial Jupiter is noted for.

Pre-renaissance Jupiter and Saturn glyphs. h j

Both Jupiter and Saturn symbolism focus on the Capricorn/Aquarius border and suggest a critical juncture where the public-person’s destiny potentially merges with the collective social destiny either optimally (a chosen planned birth) or a naturally selected birth, subject to the cross-currents of an unsettled collective consciousness that is as yet unresolved. Interestingly, the two symbols (h,j) are interchangeable when rotated 90°and mirrored, suggesting the possible redemption of a

48 limiting death symbol, j to one of harmony and increase, h simply by putting their lunar nodes in their most neutral and harmonious position at a chosen birth. For the individual 0°[ is the point where the mortal-human begins to take on collective-mind attributes, like omniscience, conferred by longevity. In that sense Jupiter and Saturn are intermediate social planets, linking individual destiny with collective destiny.

The symbol of Uranus is an upside down or inverted Venus symbol between the two sides of a Pisces symbol showing the overthrow and suppression of the Venus principle of reproduction in favor of the individuals destiny, whose Cardinal cross (destiny symbol) is now on top of the World symbol. It is the only symbol where the cardinal cross symbol () is on top of the world symbol (). Interestingly the inverted Venus is the same as the Christian redeemer/monarchy symbol, ›. It may seem like a radical idea that reproductive development regulates the rate of senescence (death) but among scientist studying the causes of aging, the connections between the two have been proposed since the mid-19th century, and evidence has multiplied in recent decades. This interpretation of Uranus is in agreement with that of Cancer, r where the symbol is of quiescent (silent and non-growing) germline and somatic stem cell pools, after maturity/puberty, symbolizing arrested sexual development with resultant longevity. The k,r symbols are located at the top and bottom of the growth/longevity axis that divides the two hemispheres of the natural zodiac, indicating the importance of the long-lived human in the resolution of East-West antagonism. Uranus and its rulership of Sagittarius, from the top of the wheel, coming from the Sagittarian side are new ideas, but logical and agree with the Greek mythology of a contest for rulership of the planetary World between Saturn and Uranus, with Uranus being the original ruler of all the Gods. It was only when he was castrated by Saturn that he lost his rulership. He will regain his former rulership when he learns to harness his sexual potential for himself or herself. Uranus is rescued by a

49 scientific understanding of longevity which is the domain of Sagittarius (knowledge system synthesis and higher education). Uranus is a symbol of demi-god formation, where humans take on God-like characteristics due to longevity. Uranus demi-gods regain rulership of the planetary pantheon in the sense that they become the political vanguard of human space exploration and colonization. Their mission may remodel them to a higher level of fitness for political leadership roles. That mission may be a galaxy- wide organizing process necessary for long term survival. In agreement with that idea the main feature of the Sagittarius glyph is the horizontal axis of polarity-resolution, o useful for arbitrating political relations among the diverse populations of planetary neighbors we will have to deal with. The glyph system calls for creative diplomacy, not Star-Wars. The Uranus demigods will have that talent for conflict resolution pre- selected in their birth charts. People with Uranus strong in their charts are noted for their eccentricity, and independence, which may derive from its symbolic ideal position between the antagonistic hemispheres. A neutral top-down psychology may produce eccentricity and independence, relative to the local prejudiced geography they are born into.

In the trident symbol for Neptune, the three arrows of the trident are pointing up to heaven symbolizing the inherent dangers and difficulties involved in the reincarnation process. The bottom of the arrows are connected to a South node symbol which is associated with the second half and end of an individual lifespan. That symbolism is similar to Pluto, ;, only with Pluto it is the physical World that is being nurtured and protected by the Moon. With Neptune, the emotional tie is with the bliss of Heaven, and the developmental stage of soul maturity. The cardinal cross  (destiny symbol) is here subordinated to the many trials of the repetitive life/death, reincarnation cycle, which make it a tough old life. Alternatively, in a planned birth, the Lunar South Node is positioned at the end of the sign Pisces, on the Aries/Libra axis, thus associating the vanishing point of an incarnate body (Q) with the last degree before a new reincarnational cycle begins (the Pisces/Aries border), suggesting a mature soul living its maximum lifespan, while minimizing reincarnation cycles. That would be the ideal situation for the developmentally mature soul trying to avoid the pitfalls of reincarnation. The arrow points of Neptune l, Mars g, Scorpio i, and Sagittarius o are squares (90°) or semi- squares (45°) and are directional symbols, but also symbols of danger. Aspects are angles between planets or other astrological factors. Squares and semi squares are member of the hard, octave (8th harmonic) aspects (the circle, 360°) divided by 8 = 45° (m) or multiples of 45°. For example 0 ° (z), 90° (c), 135 ° (<), 180 ° (x) considered by astrologers to be the most difficult aspects, where the factors are sometimes at cross-purposes, in opposition, or incongruent in psychology. They are the foundational aspects in horoscopes that impel action and resolution of the factors involved.

50

sat.bmp Satjup1.bmp Glyph4p.bmp Sat.pdf The best thing that can be said about Neptune is that because heaven is an ideal, pleasurable, even blissful place for the soul, the psychology encouraged by Neptune also tries to imitate, or simulate the ideal in the areas of life indicated by its house position, sign, and aspects. When Neptune is strong in the horoscope the person will try to create the ideal in their lives, in their relationships, and in their environment. The person will have talent in those things that are ideal or fanciful by nature like music, art, films, photography, dance, and be attracted to Neptunian environments (places with lots of water, or natural beauty). They may also be attracted to idealized utopian social arrangements like communes, religious groups, and cults. There is a danger in that some of these groups may have an excessive pro-heaven psychology that manifest in self- destructive, suicidal behavior when the group is under stress. Examples are the Jonestown, Guyana mass suicide (1978), Branch Davidian siege in Waco, Texas (1993) and the Heaven’s Gate cult group suicide in San Diego, California (1997). This points to the need for understanding this intuitive, non- intellectual sign/planet ]/l intellectually with astrology. The USA is situated in the Pisces sector of the astro-geographic overlay, which ads a scary dimension to their Imperialism, in that an astrological understanding of their situation remains suppressed, thus setting themselves up for a Piscean style tragedy at the end of the Piscean age. They may end up being the cosmic poster-child for how not to do Pisces at the end of polarity-resolution, in a nuclear-armed world. Individually, the worst thing that can be said about ]/l psychology is that the person will be so overcome by the pro-heaven psychology, that their life will be ruined by a subconscious death wish that manifest in self destructive behaviors like alcoholism or drug addiction. It is behavior that tries to simulate the altered state of consciousness, bliss, and isolation of heaven. They can also be susceptible to escapism and isolation where the person becomes a street person, vagabond or recluse, thus imitating the isolating and non-social pattern of heaven. In heaven ever soul is part of a host of souls but there is no social structure or intellectual communication, like on earth. Aries (the beginning of the evolutionary trail) and Pisces (the end of the evolutionary trail) share some characteristics. The social anarchism that the lower animal species have to live with, is still present in Pisces but because the souls in heaven have no bodies, there is no violent struggle for survival, like there is in nature. The combination of factors; no social intercourse, no intellectual life, and no bodies combine to make the Pisces/Neptune psychology unsuitable and frequently at odds with the needs of earth based incarnated souls. Life on earth functions best with strong personal support, social structure, intellectual development and communication. Neptune is not a bad planetary influence but it must be understood intellectually, and controlled. We want bliss, but on earth and in a body please. In the symbol of the planet Pluto you find the symbol for the world in a cup-like Moon symbol over a Cardinal cross , symbolizing the primacy of society or the world at large over the individual’s destiny. The Moon symbol is protecting and nurturing the material world and the individual's destiny is subordinate to that goal, but ideally as a chosen birth, also maximally supportive of that goal.

51

This is Mother Earth protecting her offspring's material world. It is an appropriate socialistic symbol, wherein the goals of the social organism are primary.

In Greek mythology a distinction is made between the realms of the heavenly immortal Olympian- Gods and the world of the dead, which is associated with the earthy (chthonic) gods, principally Pluto/Hades, Persephone, and Demeter/Ceres. The terror, misery and drudgery associated with the underworld may be the result of the developmental stage the earth/body orientated signs in the Eastern hemisphere. The great majority of those souls are symbolically more bound to reincarnation, with all the normal pains and sorrows of the birth /death cycle. More important is their role in E-W hemispheric power resolution. Pluto, the demiurgic public-worker god of the East requires heroic duty to be endured by his subjects in order to permanently secure the existing naturally evolved power balance. That burden may get relief with astrological understanding of the situation. Pluto has been likened to Kali, The violent incarnation of the Hindu God Shiva. The terrifying Kali has skulls and body parts attached to his-her belt and wrist. He dances on the unregenerate body of mankind through warfare, indicating that “fear of the Lord” is about awareness of underlying political and social-psychological forces that drive international war, and the wisdom to fear/respect that collective process, especially in the nuclear period when nuclear war can mean soul-annihilation and mass damnation. Pluto downgrade: Many Astronomers and astrologers do not share the rational for the International Astronomical Union demoting Pluto to non- planet status. Pluto is still regarded as the most important planet in political astrology charts because of its affinity with Scorpio, and by transit in all charts. Dr Alan Stern, who leads the USA NASA space agency's New Horizons mission to Pluto called the action sloppy science and wrote the following in rebuttal to the decision: "One of the three new criteria for planethood states that a planet must have “cleared the neighborhood” around its orbit. Pluto was disqualified because its highly elliptical orbit overlaps with that of Neptune.” Dr. Stern pointed out that “Earth, Mars, Jupiter and Neptune have also not fully cleared their orbital zones. Earth orbits with 10,000 near-Earth asteroids. Jupiter, meanwhile, is accompanied by

52

100,000 Trojan asteroids on its orbital path. And If Neptune had cleared its zone, Pluto wouldn't be there," Furthermore the discovery of Eris in 2005, a small planet on the edge of the solar system that is more than twice the distance from the Sun as Pluto at aphelion, was at first thought to be larger than Pluto and its discovery started the drive to redefine a planet and demote Pluto as a planet. Since 2010 Eris has been found to be smaller than Pluto. Pluto also has 5 satellite moons including Charon, which is half the size of Pluto and has characteristics of a true binary planet system, adding complexity to the argument for Pluto’s status as a planet. It is interesting that Eris was named for the Greek goddess who was the personification of chaos, strife and discord. Eris caused a quarrel among the goddesses that led to the Trojan Wars, in Greek mythology. Astrology is necessary to understand social psychology and Western Imperialism, which may be why Pluto is being demoted now. The downgrading of this key astrological factor may be just another kick in the long-running Astrology repression in the West running through the whole 2000 year period of Western Imperialism, starting with Roman Imperialism. The historically powerful Roman Catholic church repressed astronomy, astrology and science in general, rightly seeing them as threats to their non-evolutionary theology of special creation. The academic community, influenced by the churches that supported them, took up the baton and forbid astrology study in the cannon of subjects allowed to be studied in universities, claiming it to be divinatory pseudoscience, when in fact it was neither intrinsically divinatory (seeking knowledge from the spirit world), or unscientific. Horoscopy has always tried to be scientifically exact and included many famous scientists at every stage of development. The real problem is the conspiracy of Western Imperialism, with an agenda incompatible with astrologic knowledge, that when interpreted correctly, reveals the mechanics of hemispheric antagonism and a strategy for its peaceful resolution, without the spiritual regime-change sought by Western Imperialism. The downgrade of Pluto damages the study of astrology by excluding Pluto from the core solar system planets in numerous scientific research articles and tables of data collection. As Stern suggested “The re-definition of Pluto stinks, for technical reasons".(Britt 2006)

POLITICAL (MUNDANE) ASTROLOGY – Chapter III The discovery of the outer planets: seem to correlate with the historical periods surrounding their discovery. The discovery of k in 1781, l in 1846, and ; in 1930 correlates with the beginning of the maturity stage of social development wherein the World (structured on the nation-state model) struggled through increasingly violent global wars as military technology matured. That violent period was checked at its potentially destructive peak in 1990 with the voluntary, peaceful dismemberment of the Soviet Union and Warsaw Pact military alliance, with Russia retreating to its historic boundaries, roughly along the East West divide, 30° E. All surrounding nations were allowed independence and the nuclear arsenal was brought within Russian borders. Those maneuvers halted the Cold War at nuclear parity between the most lethal super-power states, Russia and the United States, but the threat of instant annihilation for most of the World was apparently not resolvable. The discovery of the outer planets correlated with the advent of superlative archetypical ideas that can only fully manifest at the social level, when the World organism reaches developmental maturity.

53

The discovery of Uranus in 1781 correlated with creation of the USA federal democracy. It k was the first multi-state democratic constitution with bill of human rights. It was an amendable document with three independent branches of government, legislative, judicial and executive. The previously planned, loose confederation of independent states had proved anarchic un.bmp Cis1.bmp sovun.bmp plunall.bmp and unworkable. A centralized federal system with sovereignty over the states replaced it in the final constitution. It has endured the test of civil war and a long and continuing struggle to expand the vote to all citizens including slaves and women. It became a model for modified democratic constitutions for 230 years. Democracy has proved to be the saving principal for peaceful political change. The challenge for the nation (USA) that introduced perfectible democracy is to make their democratic federal model work at the World level. While democracy has no apparent basis in nature it agrees with the astrological symbolism of Aquarius that describes a functionally democratic collective mind.

The second outer planet to be discovered was Neptune in 1846, synchronous with its entry l into its home sign of Pisces (5-1847 to 2-1862). As Neptune and Pisces both symbolize heaven and the last stage of soul development, they generate a psychology of completion, the finished product, the superlative and ideal in all things. The urge to purify the social organism of contradictions and error is brought to the fore. Demands for redemption of recognized goals and aspirations become insistent. In 1848 the other two outer- planets, Uranus and Pluto were conjunct in Aries, (exact in 1850-51) thus adding revolutionary fire to the idealistic urge for reform. Uranus and Pluto were conjunct next in 1965-66, which should give most readers who lived through the early sixties a feel for the political mood and turmoil that combination (k;) can produce. In 1848 the USA constitution talked freedom, and political equality but the reality was expanding slavery and women without rights. The resolution of slavery and serfdom was a world-wide movement at this time but was especially cathartic in the USA which had over 4 million slaves, with the lower South’s population nearly half slave, and a quarter of all families owning slaves. The insistence for containment of the slavery institution by abolitionist in the North brought on the civil war and ended with the South’s defeat. Slaves were freed in the South in 1-1863, and slavery outlawed in 3-1865 thus partially redeeming the USA constitution’s lofty mandate for freedom and equality under the law for all citizens. 1848 was a period of revolts throughout Europe wherein monarchies were overthrown and forced to accept liberal constitutions, labor, and other reforms. These reforms were only partially successful, with a subsequent reactionary backlash. For example, the ex-slaves in America were oppressed and politically disempowered by reactionary state laws for another hundred years. Similarly, the Great Reforms initiated by Czar Alexander I designed to emancipate the serfs and empower local governments were complicated, conditional, and underfunded. Individual serfs could not own land, except as members of peasant communes and villages, which bought land from the previous owners (gentry) which had to be paid over many decades leaving the serfs as dependent and impoverished as before. Separately, Marx and Engels published the Communist Manifesto in 1848 beginning the debate on capitalism vs. socialism in a world with increasing populations, urbanization and industrialization. The dynamics of economic evolution from capitalism to idealistic socialism were postulated with a proposed plan to achieve the end goal of non-militant communism, through organization and empowerment of the proletariat (workers) class.

54

The same spirit of 1848 is now returning, with Neptune again in Pisces from 2-2011 through 2-2026. The Neptune in Pisces desire for the finished ideal in the social organism will again motivate reform, spurred on by its position between k and ;. The biggest issues now seem more international. They are issues like nuclear security, global warming and sustainable development. Like before in 1848, Neptune’s transit of its home sign will strongly affect the USA because it is the most Piscean nation (see astro-geographic overlay diagram p.137, and because the USA is currently the most powerful and probably the last leader of Western Imperialism. Whether Americans are conscious enough to own their imperialism is in doubt. They beat slavery in the last Neptune in Pisces transit, but Western Imperialism is a much bigger foe than slavery. The power of Western Imperialism may be too strong and too pervasive a multi-nation psychological phenomenon, for any one nation to buck. In the authors opinion, the intolerable level of nuclear first-strike readiness will be confronted in a crisis, during the current Neptune in Pisces transit, ending in 2024 but not lead to final resolution of Western Imperialism. Every major outer planet cycle or conjunction between the outer three planets, brings progressive changes that reflect the stage of social and scientific development. Arch concepts and core psychology of the outer planets are relatively simple but also manifest in a myriad of lesser expressions. For instance Neptune’s discovery in 1846 and entry into its home sign in 1848, saw increased interest in psychic phenomena, hypnotism, séances, spiritualism, mysticism, spiritual philosophies, and discovery of anesthetic drugs that allowed painless surgery like nitrous oxide (1844), ether (1846), and chloroform in (1847). Those drugs were first used in the Mexican American War (1846-48) and Crimean Wars (1853-56). The first scientific efforts to study those elusive soul-centered subjects symbolized by Pisces and Neptune were initiated.(Moore 1971) Now with Neptune again in Pisces, (6-2011 thru 1 2026) the science of the soul may get scientifically investigated. There have not been human deaths in deep space until now, but that situation is coming to an end, as permanent stations are being planned for the Moon and Mars. To die in deep space is very dangerous due to the absence of the earth’s biosphere assumed necessary for reincarnation cycle. The dynamics of the soul’s behavior needs to be completely understood. Pluto’s discovery in 1930 correlated with the USA stock market crash and beginning of the ; Great Depression in the USA and world-wide. The severity of the depression in the USA led to socialistic solutions like Social Security and public works programs. WWII finally ended the depression. In the Soviet Union centralized planning and cyclic five-year plans were started in 1928. They made great progress transforming the backward agricultural economy and society into one educated, industrialized, and urbanized. Unfortunately, civil war, foreign intervention, WWII and the Cold War dictated the constant distortion of planning to military ends. Pluto’s discovery in 1930 coincided with the huge rise in World population in the 20th century and the popularity of socialism to deal with mass population needs, development and economic depressions. Importantly the conjunction of Neptune and Pluto in 1891-92 (a once every 495 year cycle) coincided with many inventions that made mass urbanization and industrial production possible.

55 production. The l; conjunction in 1891-92 occurred between the discovery of l in 1846 and ; in 1930. It started a new 495 year cycle of social development characterized by mass populations and technological/scientific maturity. The 495 year conjunction cycle of l; is the longest and arguably the most important in terms of punctuating World political developments, not counting the larger 4000- 4500 year kl; conjunction cycle. The effect of that historic 1891 conjunction relate strongly to idealistic socialism, and other Scorpio/Pluto aspects of dealing with mass population dynamics. The timing of the l; conjunction was synchronous with the rise of mass populations, large scale industrialization and socialism. Vladimir llyich Ulyanov (Lenin), leader of the Russian Bolshevik party was a Marxist who formulated his vision of Russian and World communism during the 1890’s. His ideas and the world-wide socialist movement was probably strongly influenced by that historic conjunction of ;l that can symbolize ideal socialism, when viewed in the context of mass population economics. His writings during the 1890’s and after reflect that faith in socialist idealism but the historical reality of the 20th century was two world wars and the cold war, which necessitated the adoption of strict communist forms of government by Russia, China and other Eastern hemisphere states as the most efficient form of government, from a military perspective, while the lofty ideology of an egalitarian just World inspired the emotional heart of the communist and socialist movements. The previous monarchies and their backward agricultural societies were no longer capable to counter the new waves of a hyperactive Western Imperialism, which was supported by Western industrial/military superiority that developed in the 19th century. The situation was dire by 1917 when the Tsar abdicated and Russia searched for a solution to their military decline, first noticed with defeats in the Crimean War of 1854, the short disastrous war with Japan in 1905 and finally the near defeat in World War I by the Germans. Most Russian socialist wanted a liberal parliamentary democracy, but it was almost inevitable that a single-minded Scorpionic military regime capable of marshalling the entire population on a military model would prevail due to the enormity of the threat, the size of the task and duration of the struggle that was coming. The military attributes of the Scorpio/Pluto psychology (cohesion of group effort, focus on power, unitary structure and secrecy) is what Soviet Power brought to the struggle to confront a resurgent Western Imperialism. While often raw and brutal in execution, the success of that strategy seems to validate its correctness for the situation. Western Imperialism was checked by the end of the 20th century, and the next phase of resolving Western Imperialism, was transitioned into peacefully, with the ending of the Cold War. However, the question of the relative desirability of socialism as an economic principal for mass populations has yet to be resolved or given a proper test free of Western Imperialism interference. Outer Planet Conjunctions: The outer three planets k, l, and ; affect group psychology much more than the fast-moving inner planets (asdfg), which are considered the more personal planets. Similarly, the upper half of the natural zodiac (Libra through Pisces) is considered the public or social half of the zodiac, while the signs in the lower half are personal or familial in orientation. So, the outer three social planets and last six signs are the most pertinent signs and planets in political horoscopes and by transit in political horoscopes. In agreement with that idea, the outer planets rule only signs in the upper half of the natural zodiac (;/i, k/o,

56 l/]). In between the inner and outer planets are Saturn and Jupiter whose symbolism describes socially orientated individuals who interact with the collective-organism in leadership roles, which makes them social when acting correctly (in-character). They rule Capricorn and Aquarius respectively.

60 Van1eptable4p59.pdf Van1eptable4p.bmp Effects of Pluto’s heliocentric elliptical orbit: There are several astrological effects of Pluto’s elliptical perihelion–aphelion orbit. From a political standpoint perihelion temporarily organizes a bias toward the background psychology where it occurs. That motivates politically important changes in the social organism’s development. Those events often affect the power equation of Western Imperialism. See historical examples below: l; ; at perihelion Events conjunct tropical -578 BC 1st perihelion Greek Classical Period. Athens and Sparta victorious over Persians, but 10-487BC at 9°u07' rivalry led to long civil wars between Greek alliances. 2nd perihelion First true trans-hemispheric state established at Alexandria, Egypt, 9-240BC at 11°u21' Hellenistic Kingdom. Imperial Rome begins conquest of Greek kingdoms and other Mediterranean states. -83 BC 1st perihelion Life of Jesus and spread of Christianity. 9-8CE at 15°u02' Ptolemy codifies astrology. 2nd perihelion Christian Rome takes power, represses Roman/Greek pantheism, science 10-255CE at 19°u01' and astrology. 412CE 1st perihelion Golden age of Greek Byzantium, Justinian re-conquers parts of the fallen 11-502CE at 22°u52' Roman Empire in Africa, Italy and Spain.

(Muslims expulsions 11-997CE at 29°u44' from Europe 1031) (Crusades 1096-1291) Schism between Greek orthodox and Roman Catholic churches (1054). 2nd perihelion (1206-1480) Tartar-Mongol Empire conquered the eastern hemisphere 1-1245CE at 2°i49' which helped to militarize regimes in Russia and Ottoman Turkey. That countered Crusader Imperialism by land. 1398 CE 1st perihelion 1492-93 Colonization of the Africa, America and Asia begins by Western 10-1493CE at 6°i13' powers by sea. 2nd perihelion 1741 - Start of the Industrial revolution in the UK and Europe, which 11-1740CE at 9°i24' led to economic and technical domination by Europe and the USA. 1892 CE 1st perihelion 1989 Breakup of the Soviet Union and peaceful stalemate of the Cold War. 9-1989CE at 12°i55' European Union founded. 2nd perihelion Prediction: Socialistic development makes great progress worldwide. 11-2237CE at 16°i28' Currently both the 60° and 120°/240° stages (yellow in the perihelion table below) are always exceptionally long (~82 years). Now, following every conjunction of l; the 1st perihelion is always a sextile with Neptune ahead of Pluto by 60° and the 2nd perihelion is always with Neptune behind Pluto by 120°/240°. In that way Pluto’s perihelion temporarily organizes a l; bias toward socialistic development goals in the sign it falls in (currently Scorpio) for 33% of the time. That will continue until 2981CE. At that time the Pluto perihelion starts its long forward precession through Sagittarius, which should emphasize Sagittarian interest like higher education and space exploration. But for now, the Scorpio pro-socialistic agenda and World political goals are emphasized during Pluto’s perihelion transit. See perihelion table below.

Astronomers are not usually concerned with the anomaly of the pattern of long 60° and 120°/240° aspects important to astrologers. They are concerned with the complicated astro-mechanics of Pluto’s orbit, discussed here. Pluto is locked in a 3:2 mean motion resonance with Neptune. For every two orbits of Pluto (2x247.7 = 495.4 years), Neptune orbits three time. (3x164.8 = 494.4 years) That repetitive geometric pattern causes the relative orbital phases (aspect stages) to repeat at roughly the same phase with each repetition of the l; conjunction to conjunction synodic cycle. Due to its high inclination, eccentricity, close 2:3 libration (oscillation) resonance with Neptune the conditions exist which keep Pluto out of the path of Neptune and insure they could never collide as a result of orbital precession. ( Malhotra and Williams pp.127-157, Marcialis p.57 , Wikipedia Pluto) It turns out that the mechanics of Pluto’s perihelion orbit is unique and more complicated than the other planets that have circular co-planar orbits.

period of path = 500 years

1st perihelion 2nd perihelion

Neptune at perihelion librates (oscillates) about its mean (amplitude = 82°) with a period of 19,912 years. In the current Neptune/Pluto cycle, 1892-2384 at first perihelion (September 5, 1989) Neptune is ahead of Pluto by 60°. At 2nd in 2237 perihelion, Neptune is behind Pluto by 120°.

Pluto’s perihelion circulates forward through the zodiac at the rate of 3°-4° between perihelion’s with about 25,200 years for a complete 360°circulation, or ~2100 years per sign. That is similar to the precession of the equinox spring date of 1°/72 years but opposite in direction. The background sign of Pluto’s perihelion is important. Now Pluto’s perihelion is in mid-Scorpio the sign it rules and will be in Scorpio for another thousand years and then the Pluto Perihelion begins a 2100-year passage through Sagittarius. That will shift the power of the Pluto perihelion toward Sagittarian goals like higher education and all of the hard and soft sciences which underpin the longevity goal, and the collective organism’s goal of preparation for safe space exploration and colonization. The aspect cycle: The aspect cycle is a tool used to analyze the development cycle (conjunction to next conjunction) of any two- planets or planet and other astrological factor. It is sometimes called the “cycle of becoming or maturation”. It is a process orientated approach to interpreting aspects in horoscopes based on the aspect stage relative to the whole conjunction to conjunction cycle of the two planets being considered. The eight (45° segments) Soli-Lunar phases of the Moon’s monthly lunation cycle is the classic example, used to describe development stages. The 12-part Natural zodiac’s scheme of individual life spans and the reincarnating soul development cycle is the basic astrological template. The two together contain all the major aspects on a 360° dial.

The l; Political aspect cycle: The most political planetary pair is the Neptune/Pluto l; the two outermost planets. They are also the arch social planets of the West and East hemispheres respectively, so their angular relationship reflects the degree of harmony or dissonance in the developing social organism for the time frame of the aspect being considered, within the overall l; 495 yr. conjunction to conjunction cycle.

Aspect stages of the current (~495 year) l; cycle, 1892-2385 CE 1891-92, l0 °; (2 years) Germination of the seed-ideas of the new cycle. Plans, theories, concepts formulated.

Socialist programs also adopted in the West in response to the Great Depression in the USA and Western Europe. The Nazi “National Socialist German Workers' Party” came to power in 1933 and led anti- Soviet, German Imperialism.

l60°; Exact range 1-1950 to 8-2032 (82 years) Socialist revolutions succeeded throughout the period as colonialism was defeated. It is a period of steady progress limited by the necessity to adapt to the reality of predominant global capitalism and still active Western Imperialism. While global capitalism seems triumphant in 2019, there are 13 years left in the current 60° aspect stage. Economic crisis is predicted for the USA within that time, similar to the 1930’s Great Depression, when socialist solutions were both popular and necessary.

l90°; Exact range 9-2061 to 5-2065 (4 years) The squ are represents intrinsic functions and psychology that cross, oppose, or conflict in some way and resolve or balance with difficulty and stress. For example controlling natural population growth for the goal of sustainable global development and climate control. That problem may come to a crisis by 2060, which would fit the psychology of the 90° aspect at the base of the whole ~495 year l; conjunction to conjunction cycle.

In theory the other outer planet pairs kl, and k; can also be analyzed by this method in isolation, or as strong influences within the unfolding l; aspect cycle. The previous and current aspect cycle dates for the three outer planets is shown online at 1st reference. One question for astrologers is why the l; conjunctions are spatially graduated around distinct centers, for example the concentration of conjunctions at the Gemini-Cancer border (about 5832 CE) and a previous concentration of conjunctions (incomplete for lack of data) at the beginning of Libra (about -12955 BCE). The pattern may reflect Pluto’s perihelion libration periods of 19,912 years, (about 40 l; conjunctions). The spatial 64

See diagram p.63 psychology, because precessed geocentric perception captures the phototropic shift between the two coordinate systems (tropical and sidereal) relative to the biologically important constant of the moving Spring date. In comparing the two coordinate systems, we see that the tropical precessed zodiac coordinate system captures space-time relativity caused by Pluto’s eccentric orbit in these long-period secular charts while the sidereal coordinates seem to capture libration but without the space relativity conferred by precession correction of all horoscope factors. That may indicate a problem in using the sidereal system, at least in studying long secular changes, relevant to the social organism. We evolved to sense planetary movements because light is the most primitive growth factor for life. (Photo-tropic, light as growth factor) sensitizes all cells and organisms to internalize the patterns and cycles of the visual universe, at the genetic level and deeper. For example the biologically important circadian rhythm (light/dark cycle) which is linked to regeneration of critical biomolecules like NAD (Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide) (Nakahata 2009, Imai 2010a). Astrology posits that cosmic phototropism may imprint at the level of the soul, which senses and reacts to current planetary movements, especially in relation to its natal planetary configurations. “Experiments verifying Einstein’s theory of general relativity have demonstrated that photons, particles of light – bombarding the Earth exhibit the same energy irrespective of the mass or distance of their source.” (Brau 1980) Wikipedia

NEPTUNE-PLUTO conjunctions 13,000 BCE – 17,000 CE Sidereal coordinates, (Indian, Lahiri ayamnamsa)

Other sidereal (non-precessed) variants like Fagan-Bradley were similar to the above sidereal coordinate chart. The reasons for the difference between Sidereal and Tropical projections involving long-series patterns of Pluto conjunctions is obscure but the Tropical zodiac coordinates seems to yield more useful astrological information.

kl; Uranus Neptune Pluto conjunctions: This is arguably, the most important planetary configuration that can form in our solar system, as it brings together a complete psychological trinity of the three social (outer) planets, prompting over-arching philosophical ideas that integrate the two main tracks of developmental perfection. 1. Social developmental perfection as symbolized by Neptune/Pluto conjunctions and 2. Individual developmental perfection as symbolized by Neptune /Uranus conjunctions. Countries and peoples in a psychological position (astro-geographically speaking), to actualize the newly conceived goals, self-organize under the conscious prompting of the bi-polar collective mind.

*The earliest kl; conjunction cycle considered here, occurred 9999 BCE-5040 BCE in Scorpio with the l; conjunction series, (every 495 years) covering iop and correlates with the last period of hunter/gathering cultures that had migrated out of Africa to all continents, reaching South America around 13,000 BCE . They hunted to extinction scores of the largest species on the earth, mostly mammal herbivores like giant ground sloths, glyptodonts, wooly mammoth, wooly rhino, giant elk, moa, kangaroo, camels, horses and elephant-like

Afr4.bmp Afr4_all.bmp, afr4_all.pdf proboscideans, thus negatively altering the vegetative and faunal ecology worldwide, leaving degraded biomes like tundra and deserts, that resulted from destroyed complex symbiotic plant-animal relationships, now missing their large animal herbivore anchoring-partners. That whole historic period largely agrees with the psychology of iop, in that (i = tribe/clan as goal-orientated social units, o = extreme foreign exploration, p = domination of environment). The next kl; conjunction occurred in 5036 BCE -575 BCE. Starting in early Aquarius, sign of the bi-polar collective mind. Within that cycle, l; conjunctions were in []qw, It contained the first expressions of humans as trans-familial nations centered mostly on river systems in Mesopotamia, China and Egypt. The rise of Egyptian civilization grew out of one of the most auspicious of the settled agricultural cultures that succeeded the hunter-gathering domination of the animal world around 10,000 BCE. The immensely fertile Nile river valley and delta was geographically well positioned at the juncture of ancient African migration routes into Asia and Europe. The fertility of the delta and defense attributes of surrounding deserts made Egypt an ideal spot for trans-familial social-development. Egyptian Pharaonic civilization began about the midpoint of the 4500 year l; conjunction series (at about 2806 BCE). That date is between the founding of the first Egyptian Pharaonic dynasty (Menes I) around 3000 BC, at Memphis and the construction of the great pyramid at Giza around 2561 BC. Those events are close to l; conjunctions at those dates in late Pisces (sign of the afterlife) and early Aries, sign of the reincarnating soul. See graph p. 57. This was a spiritually orientated cycle, influenced by an afterlife/soul orientation indicated by the sign background of the l; conjunctions during the long and stable Pharaonic era. It produced stable dynastic regimes, philosophically dedicated to the afterlife of deified pharaohs, animals, and other gods. Memphis and Giza are located close to 30°Nx30°E the proposed geographic center point of the astro-geographic overlay. That latitude was also used to determine the start of the Egyptian calendar year timed with the annual Nile flood and heliacal rising of the brightest star, Sirius, at that latitude. Memphis, located at the start of the Nile delta united a mildly-contentious upper and lower Egypt. One of its names was kingdom of the two lands. Its first name was “fortress of the white walls” suggesting a race divide between delta and southern Egypt, however domination by northern Egypt, from that time forward was overwhelming and North/South hemispheric antagonism was not a strong factor. The Egyptian pharaohs had no competitive East/West neighbors until the end of the 4500 year cycle (around 1650 BCE) when foreign regimes from Mesopotamia, including Assyria and Persia repeatedly invaded, and were repeatedly expelled; such was the strength of the Pharaonic culture and delta economy. It finally succumbed to Persian domination in 525 BCE, about the end of the kl; period that had begun in 5036 BCE. That period was largely devoid of hemispheric antagonism due to poor nation development, although consolidation of power in Mesopotamia and China was culminating in larger multi-region states. kl; The 5036 BCE conjunction in 9°Aquarius focused the collective mind on trans-familial social creations. The social developmental stage in 5036 BCE relative to Western Imperialism was benign with no E/W nationalistic competition. The triple conjunction in Aquarius, psychologically stimulated the collective mind to conceive social structures beyond the tribe level. Ptah: The Gods of Pharaonic Egypt may give us rudimentary insight into how the collective mind works. Ptah was a principal god of Egypt which has been described as the demiurge of Egypt, a public-worker God who conceives as an architect or planner, but a planner who is limited by extant knowledge. Ptah was described as “the God who listens to the prayers men” and large ears were carved on the walls of the enclosure that protected the sanctuary of the 67 god at his main temple in Memphis.(wiki/ptah) It suggest that the collective-mind learns from new data and increasingly depends on human discovery to extend its knowledge base, similar to individuals. In other words the collective mind is not omniscient; it learns. The difference is that the collective mind doesn’t forget everything through reincarnating, so it knows much more than any individual. The large-scale social-creations of Pharaonic Egypt may be the earliest expression of collective mind social planning and pre–cosmologic self-description. Systematic astronomy was unknown until the Babylonians initiated record keeping of astronomical phenomena at the end of this kl; 4500 year period, which was initiated in 9°Aquarius and mostly covered a l; series of conjunctions in soul orientated signs Pisces and Aries, plus 10° into Taurus. Ptah was worshiped in the main temple at the center of Memphis and many other cities and shrines. Ptah was the demiurge, who molded the world through thought and by means of the word/logos, brings his thought into reality, in this case through the agency of the priesthood class and craftsmen who designed and built the huge public projects that collectively made a highly functional culture, but one limited philosophically by social developmental immaturity and the orientation of the period toward the most difficult to understand aspects of reality; the structure of the spirit-world and the souls life. The very name Egypt derives from the name of Ptah’s temple in Memphis as the “home of the soul of Ptah” implying that the location or geography of the temple in Memphis was considered important. That is similar to the astro-geographic overlay diagram, proposed here, where the same approximate geographical location is considered the geographic center point of the political world. If we look at the overlay map for modern Egypt on p.176 we see that 95% of Egypt’s population is in the NE quadrant, which shows Egypt to have strong bias toward Scorpio and Pluto psychology, which shown through even in Pharaonic Egypt, a highly spiritual period. Thus Ptah and the name of Egypt honor the Scorpio bias built into the geography of Egypt by the fertile Nile river relative to the center point of the astro-geographic overlay. Serapis, the patron God of Ptolemaic Egypt was similarly a Pluto-like composite God that integrated Greek and Egyptian Gods. See Serapis pp. 80-81 The next (current) kl; conjunction cycle occurs in 577 BCE to 3733 CE. That kl; triple conjunction period began at the dawn of written history in 575 BCE in the sign Taurus, the sign of local geography and material circumstances, making the astro-geographical overlay useful in understanding why, very different philosophies were chosen in China (the East), the Hellenistic Middle East and the Roman West). The history of that early time period was characterized by formation of the major (religious and secular) philosophical systems that came to underpin Eastern, Central and Western political regimes. Eastern, Central and Western philosophical beginnings.

China The Hundred schools of thought Confucius (551-479 BCE) -577 BCE, kl; “Period of wandering scholars” Guatama Buddha (563- 480 BCE) Lao-tzu (Taoism) (575-485 BCE) Spring and Autumn Period (770- 480 BCE) Unified China 221 BCE) Warring States Period (481-221 BCE)

68

The Warring states period was followed by consolidation of a political philosophy that combined Confucianism with legalism. Legalism is a more severe state orientated philosophy, with Scorpionic characteristics, that ranked state power and material production as primary goals. After initial unification legalism became secondary, to a more humanistic Confucianism that would last for 2000 years, through successive dynasties. China’s geographic isolation from the West allowed it to express its astro-geographic preferences (dominantly Libra) until Western Imperialism became technologically able to intrude in the 19th century. Confucianism is an ethical code of relationship behaviors designed to peacefully regulate a just hierarchy of governance and personal relationships. Knowledge of the written Confucian code was tested for in competitive exams for public-service positions.

Broadly speaking there were three distinct philosophical trends that developed in the East, Middle East (30°E), and West in the 500 or so years that followed the 577 BCE kl; conjunction. China was the largest civilization in the East and was entering a period of consolidation of large warring kingdoms into a unitary empire that would endure through successive dynasties until 1911. If we accept that China falls under the yui sectors of the overlay, then it is easy to reconcile the acceptance of Legalism + Confucianism’s as the basic philosophy that China accepted. See China pp. 162-166. Together they reflect the humanistic governments that promoted Libran values like public safety, law and order, while maintaining militarily powerful centralized dynasties whose posture was usually defensive. Libra symbolizes the individual supported by social structures. Libra follows the family quadrant (rty) and the Libra psychology is what a society organized around the family unit needs to prosper at the trans-familial level of social organization. Scorpio on the other hand is focused less on justice among families and individuals and more on inter-state relationships, however Scorpio’s goal of political unity seems to require the perception of justice, while Libra’s goal of social stability seems to require a strong state infrastructure, thus binding Libra and Scorpio psychology. At the domestic level Taoism and Buddhism flourished, again emphasizing Libran values of harmony with nature, harmlessness and ethical behavior. Central philosophy at 30° East The necessary goal of World political-unification makes the collective-mind the beneficiary and motivator of the middle-ground philosophy and the few trans-hemispheric states that have arisen there. Those states like the collective mind itself are an abstract abridgement, and summary of real-politic forces rooted in polarized geography. There is no inherent middle ground. It is either East or West when filtered through bi-polar hemispheric-antagonism, so a middle ground philosophy as suggested in the glyph system is an abstract construction of the collective-mind. Those few trans-hemispheric states that arose in Hellenistic and Byzantium Greece were failed experiments in hemispheric polarity-resolution by using political means only, that is to say, without the aid of astrological understanding of underlying social-psychological dynamics of E-W polarity. Today, we have those astrological tools to understand trans-hemispheric political relationships, but that by itself may not be enough to resolve Western Imperialism, as the glyphs indicate that long-lived chosen-births that target trans-hemispheric solidarity factors are necessary for maximum trans-hemispheric political unity. The Greeks were most important as the culture that developed a cosmologically-associated pantheistic-religion and the astronomical science that became tropical zodiac astrology. Later Greeks had a seminal role in originating the glyph system which describes the astrology behind World politics. Their dire position at the fault line of E/W political contact from 330-1453 CE as Greek Byzantium forced them again and again to meditate on why Ottoman Muslims

libra.bmp cosmo.bmp 69 China1.pdf (table) China1.bmp (table) and Catholic Romans could not coexist. As Greek Byzantium was pinched to nothingness in 1453, a minimalist symbol system was born in Greek minds that described their predicament astrologically. Unfortunately for the Greeks, Istanbul and the Ionian coast of Turkey is by geography 1° (53 miles/85 km.) within their natural domain (using 30° E as divider) but part of the Anatolian peninsula. That juxtaposition was a problem for Greek efforts to mediate boundaries with Turkey and formerly with Persia. Regardless of that problem, their long roles as trans- hemispheric regimes centered first at Hellenistic Alexandria and later Byzantine Constantinople gave their intelligencia unique insight into trans-hemispheric political relationships. 577 BCE was a special time astronomically, in that the sidereal and tropical zodiacs became aligned (a once every 26,000 year occurrence). The alignment was exact in 290 CE, using the most common estimation of sidereal 0° Aries. That alignment plus the triple conjunction of uranus, Neptune and Pluto kl; in 577 BCE seems to have spurred the development of astronomy and astrology at that time. Those factors may have contributed something special when the sages of Archaic Greece (800-500 BCE) stood before their audiences throughout the Greek world and channeled the wisdom of the collective mind in unwritten oral presentations, entertainments and competitions.

Eastern end of the Mediterranean, which was the constant object of their attention and eastward colonization’s. The Greek colonization’s around the Mediterranean, Black sea and Anatolia had already made Greece in part (trans- hemispheric) in attitude and philosophy before the -577 grand conjunction of kl;. It is significant that the founding document of Western literature and philosophy (Homer’s epic Trojan War) was a tale of East /West struggle between men and Gods that became associated with a cosmologic Olympian pantheism. In 577 BCE, the discovery of the outer planets kl; was 24 centuries in the future. None the less the collective mind, under the influence of this most philosophical of conjunctions began the cosmological definition of itself as a spiritual being rooted in a physical, and increasingly political World. Hesiod’s Theogony (origin of the Gods) written in poetic verse similar to the Homer’s epic, appeared in written form most definitively around this time as Greek written language consolidated and replaced oral expressions of history, philosophy and science. Written prose became the new medium, more suited for rational science, exact communication and knowledge storage. After 577 BCE, the Greek Olympian Gods became increasingly associated with the then known planets. Amazingly, the myths and life histories of the Olympian family of Gods supports the psychological types attributed by later astrologers to the various planets and asteroids that took their names. That mythic body of knowledge preceded the astronomical scientific revolution of the Hellenistic period. The Hellenistic period is associated specifically with the first entry of kl conjunctions into Gemini, (2°e in 401 BCE and 18°e in 231 BCE), which covers the whole Hellenistic time-frame (401 BCE to 59 BCE). The Hellenistic scientist thought most intently about rationalizing astronomy, geography and the physical world by scientific means, with astronomy receiving special focus and success. By the time that scientific revolution ended, pockets of the Greek intelligencia were well on their way to making Greek pantheism a cosmologic science based system, complete with a tropical zodiac and heliocentric solar system understanding. Scientific literature accumulated in libraries in Alexandria, Pergamum and other major cities. Had Hellenistic Greece been allowed to proceed on its scientific astronomical path of development, they would have developed a more robust science based system than what survived into pre-scientific Imperial Roman times. (Russo 1996) Post-Hellenistic astrologers had no glyph system to represent its core mundane ideas as interpreted here, until the renaissance, probably because it took several waves of Western imperialism to transpire before the collective mind could fully grasp the structure of its own nature and synthesize a glyph (symbol) system capable of describing the core cosmologic inputs and processes involved. Western imperialism is a developmental stage of social-evolution of our polarized world, which is still being resolved, but the master plan of polarity antagonism resolution was arrived at in the early renaissance, circa 1400-1474 CE, synchronous with the fall of Byzantium (1453) and the relative stabilization of East/West military polarity for the next 350 years. That is, until the hyper- active imperialist 19th and 20th century. Hellenistic Greece, a trans-hemispheric hybrid: Brief history: In 577-332 BCE the Greeks were long-time trading partners and allies of Egypt against the Persians. The Persians occupied Egypt at the beginning of Alexander the Greats conquest. Alexander conquered much of Persia and liberated Egypt in 332 BCE. Alexander and the succeeding Greek Ptolemy dynasty were accepted as pharaohs by the Egyptians. Coastal Alexandria became the capitol of Ptolemaic Egypt, and the largest trade and culture center of the loose community of Greek dominated successor kingdoms that arose in the wake of Alexander the Greats death in 323 BCE in Babylon. The huge trans-hemispheric region Alexander had conquered subsequently fractured into many contested sub-kingdoms, alliances, and independent states. The Ptolemaic kingdom, the Seleucid kingdom, Pergamum kingdom, and Macedonia were the largest survivors of the consolidation of power known as the Diadoche (Alexander’s successors) Wars.

Alexander’s body was carried from Babylon and enshrined in Alexandria. The Ptolemaic dynasty, fused with Pharaonic infrastructures and culture, through intermarriage with the former ruling hierarchy. That Hellenistic regime was the last of the separate Hellenistic states to fall to the Romans in 31 BCE, although the decline covered the two centuries of the Roman intermittent conquest previous to that point. The cultural and scientific zenith that had flourish in Alexandrian Egypt and the sympathetic network of sister states and special science-orientated cities like Rhodes, Pergamum, Syracuse, Athens and Corinth, made the Hellenistic period, (sometimes called the Hellenistic civilization) a unique achievement in antiquity.

The Antikythera mechanism was a device for calculating eclipses and their multi-decade repeating cycles, used at that time for mundane (political and military) forecasting. Tropical natal astrology developed from that time forward, culminating in Claudius Ptolemy’s books in 2nd century CE. The mechanism also produced calendar information for determining dates for religious observances, Olympic games, seasons, etc. Proposed planetary positions output is hypothetical but not without evidence. See Antikythera mechanism model below at wekipedia. (created by Mogi Vincentini 2007)

The hard sciences like astronomy, mathematics, geography, medicine, and engineering technology made tremendous discoveries and inventions then. Those science subjects are the main ones associated with kl, that symbolizes the track of individual developmental perfection. Cultural advances were made in city planning and higher education as demonstrated by the state funded Alexandrian library and musaeum which were centers of scientific research and informal instruction. Antikythera Mechanism: Hellenistic astronomers relied heavily on soli-lunar eclipse and planetary records in the Babylonian astronomical diaries (747- 61 BCE). That information previously led to discovery of the Soros and Metonic eclipse cycles. That

72 Antiky7.jpg Antiky7.pdh Antiky7_all.bmp astronomic data was combined with Greek astronomical science and technical engineering capability to produce the Antikythera (crank-operated) analog computer around 100 BCE. It was accurate enough to satisfy most demands of an astronomer/astrologer for calculating eclipses and other astronomical data used to predict the outcome of political and military questions. Such was the level of astrological belief among the Greek intelligencia, that it prompted the construction of the Antikythera mechanism and the science/technology that surrounded its development. The Antikythera mechanism was discovered in a Roman shipwreck in 1902, and gradually revealed it’s secretes, as scientist used x-ray and other imaging techniques to peer into the corroded devise and piece together the complex gearing mechanisms and inscriptions. It is now thought to have mechanically displayed Saros and Metonic eclipse cycles (223 and 235 months respectively) dates and times on two back panel dials, and lunar, solar and possibly planetary positions on the front dial. While gears necessary for planets are missing, there is inscriptional evidence and holes for brackets and post indicating a lost layer of complexity. Importantly from an astrological standpoint, the tropical zodiac, (12 equal signs) dial was used, indicating awareness of precession of the equinoxes, which was discovered by Hipparchus of Rhodes around the time of the device’s construction 150-120 BCE. It is the only surviving example of the high-point of Greek astronomic technology, which disappeared in the hands of the Roman conquerors starting in 221 BCE with the plunder of Syracuse and killing of Archimedes.

In the long wars that followed between Rome and the Hellenistic states whole populations were reduced to slavery in some cities, while much of the intelligencia and their books ended up in Roman villas. The decisive stage was in 146 BCE when Carthage and Corinth were razed to the ground. In the following year the Greek community of Alexandria was decimated by an indigenous revolt led by Roman sympathizer Ptolemy (Euergetes II), who persecuted and purged the Greek ruling class causing an exodus of the Greeks, and largely ended scientific activity in Alexandria. The subsequent destruction of the library at Alexandria and its larger parent institution The Musaeum, which functioned like a university, is symbolic of the overall force of Roman Imperialism and its successor, in

73 culturally cleansing the empire of Hellenistic science and philosophy, a process that became more severe and complete under Christian Rome. Claudius Ptolemy, the main authority of horoscopic astrology and general astronomy for over 1200 years, proposed an elaborate scheme of dividing the “inhabited or known” mundane world, which he described in his astrology book Tetrabiblos section 2.3. See Robbins 1940 for text. He divided the World into four quarters with countries close to the center having special syncretic attributes, due to their assimilation of opposite quarter characteristics and a special relationship of the center with Mercury. Opposite quadrants are those diagonal to each other. His specific astrologic rational was complicated (based on triplicity associations of (fire, earth, air and water signs) and proposed planet rulers within the different quadrants. The geographic center was on latitude 36°N that runs through the straits of Gibraltar, Rhodes and the gulf of Issus. The longitude line was imprecise and wide, bound by the Aegean Sea and the Sea of Azov with the midpoint at approximately 30° E., which runs through Alexandria.

See Eratosthenes World map below for the Rhodes clima latitude 4. Rhodes was home to Hipparchus, Posidonius and other astronomers suspected in the construction of the Antikythera analog computer, and earliest Greek horoscopy development. Rhodes was an important city-state in the politics of Rome’s final conquering of the disunited Hellenistic states. Those may have been factors that motivated construction of the Antikythera mechanism, mainly as a mundane astrological tool, and also in influencing Ptolemy’s choice of that latitude for centering his mundane world. Ptolemy’s astrological quadrant system was the first psychological theory of dividing the whole world, although Strabo points out in his Geographia book 1.1 the political aspects of geography and continental partitioning schemes had a long history of debate going back as far as Homer. Ptolemy’s specific astrologic rules for interpretation of his astro-geographic overlay, or the plan in general was not accepted by later Western astrologers and is

Most of the other specific rules of horoscope interpretation in the Tetrabiblos were also discarded by later astrologers, probably due mostly to the immature stage of social development of the collective organism in 150 CE. Not enough social history had transpired in order to interpret the nature of the social organism, which is the main subject of the natural zodiac system, confirmed by the glyph system 1200 years later. The missing outer planets are also critical for proper interpretation rules of mundane horoscopes and secondarily of natal horoscopes. The parts necessary for proper astrological interpretation are only now mature enough to interpret the astrological nature of the social organism and the messages the astrological symbols convey. The history of Western Imperialism since the great conjunction of l; in 1892 plus the rise mass populations, discovery of Pluto and recent maturity of the biological sciences around the kl conjunction in Capricorn in 1993 signal that the social organism is mature enough to be interpreted by the average educated citizen. They are the intended audience that the collective mind wants to reach and designed the astrological system for. Therefore we can forgive Ptolemy for not getting mundane astrology right on the first try. Besides that astro-geographic overlay model, pertinent to the present discussion, Ptolemy’s main contribution was writing the first books supplying the three requirements for doing horoscopes in cities distant from Alexandria. 1.

eratosthenes.bmp 75

The book Almagest supplied astronomical tables and methods used for creating ephemerides for Sun, Moon, planet positions, table of houses, and clima tables of latitude. There were also simplified versions of the Almagest, called the Handy tables. 2. Ptolemy’s book The Geography supplied geographical tables in degree-based tables for 8000 cities that reckoned coordinates from the equator latitude and the Blessed Isles, Canary Islands 27°N.x17°W. for the prime meridian, on the extreme West border of his map. A separate table of 300 cities gives coordinates in astrologer-friendly time (hours plus quarter hour remainders) East or West of Alexandria’s prime meridian and latitude in time of longest-day values at the summer-solstice, relative to the equator. 3. The book Tetrabiblos, provided interpretations for mundane and natal horoscopes. Ptolemy’s books kept astrology alive through the long Christian repression that followed its initial bloom in the first two centuries CE. None of these parchment books or scrolls survived The earlier Hellenistic zenith in the sciences is associated with the great kl; conjunction in 577 BCE and more specifically the first entry of kl conjunctions into Gemini, (2°e in 401 BCE and 18°e in 231 BCE), which covers the whole Hellenistic time-frame (401 BCE to 59 BCE), plus the late classical philosophers, including Plato (423 – 347 BCE) and Aristotle (384 – 322 BCE). The Tropical zodiac was made possible around 130 BCE when Hipparchus discoved precessional shift of the Spring equinox date, relative to the sidereal constellational background. That tropical zodiac, based on a moving Spring date for determining 0°q became the foundational reference system for the so-called Tropical, Ptolemaic, or Western Astrology, which started to materialize around that time. The invention of Astrology, and its correct interpretation probably required that switch to a moving Tropical zodiac because of the biological link of organismal life to the seasons, which the tropical zodiac measures precisely. The rare alignment of the tropical and sidereal zodiac reference systems was exact in 290 CE. The current difference, called the ayanamsa is about 24°. Note that sidereal constellation boundaries are inherently inexact including the all- important starting point for 0° Aries. The alignment begins the 26,000 (great year) cycle of axial precession of the equinoxes. That alignment was probably important in helping Hipparchus to distinguish the two reference systems and organize his astronomic theories. The astrological significance of that rare alignment of the local biologically- orientated Tropical zodiac with the outer galactic constellations is harder to evaluate. See Age of Aquarius pp. 36. Gemini is the sign of local information or knowledge. The sign e is opposite to Sagittarius, the sign of science, philosophy and higher education, (the muses of ancient Greek myth). Gemini, like Sagittarius is intellectually orientated, only less universal in its access to information and therefore less complete in its conclusions. Hellenistic civilization absorbed all available local science like Babylonian astronomy records. It was an extraordinarily productive and intellectually creative period perhaps aided by the synergistic trans-hemispheric network of Greek run kingdoms and cities. Alexandria: Pharaonic Egypt also had straddled the East/West divide but in a more restricted space, at a more primitive social-development stage. It is argued here that cooperative trans-hemispheric political and cultural entities confer on any regime a higher level of creative intelligence, produced by physical and intellectual E/W syncretism. Nowhere was that more demonstrated than at Alexandria, considered the greatest city of the known world at the time. Ptolemy I Soter (savior) was one of the “companions of Alexander” who like Alexander had been tutored by Aristotle and shared a progressive Athenian education that was rationalistic, and scientific on many subjects. The early Ptolemy’s built and supported the first and largest public library, not matched until the renaissance. The dynasty supported public infrastructure projects like the great lighthouse and port of Alexandria, irrigation and canal projects, bathes, gymnasia, research centers, schools, collection and translation of foreign books, including the translation of the Jewish old testament into the Greek (Septuagint), by 70 Jewish scholars brought from

Israel, in cooperation with the high priest of Jerusalem. (Castello 1994) The Jewish population in Alexandria was the largest outside of Israel and Greek culture was readily assimilated by the Jewish intelligencia. The many progressive innovations made Alexandria the richest scientific repository of extant knowledge and an intellectual powerhouse that unified like-minded scientist like Archimedes, Euclid, Eudoxus, Eratosthenes, Apollonius of Perga, Aristarchus, and Hipparchus, throughout the network of Greek ruled cities, connected by strong trade links.(Russo 1996) At its full functionality, the Musaeum (institute of the muses), was administered, staffed and financially supported by the Ptolemaic dynasty, serving perhaps a thousand or more of resident scholars and their families, with a supporting staff that maintained many buildings in the heart of Alexandria near the port, including living quarters, communal dining facilities, gardens and porticoes, lecture halls, specialized research facilities, library and translation rooms containing perhaps 400,000 papyrus scrolls. It functioned much in the model of a modern university. It facilitated the collection, translation, and organizing of all the extant knowledge of the known World and bringing together in one place the intelligencia of the Hellenistic trans-hemispheric World. Interestingly the revival of that Hellenistic science, in the 15th century European renaissance coincided with the first entry of the l; series of conjunctions into the sign Gemini (2°e in 1398 CE and 9°e in 1891 CE). The l; conjunction series (associated with social development perfection) will continue in Gemini until 5340 CE, so understanding what Gemini relates to at the social development level is a basic theme to understand for the next 3.5 millenniums. In addition to that l; conjunction series in Gemini, the great conjunction of kl; in 3370 also occurs in mid-Gemini,18°-19°e, perhaps marking the apex of explorations of the local Galactic neighborhood during that period. The glyph master-plan, reduces symbolically in a Gemini-like structure, to the cardinal cross symbol, +, showing a central goal shared by both hemispheres, the vertical line (individual developmental perfection) plus the horizontal line, an astrological technique designed to pacify hemispheric antagonism, a goal incompatible with Western Imperialism, and therefore currently valued most by the Eastern hemisphere. The Renaissance revived the hard sciences from Hellenistic Greece and began anew to build the vocabularies of science which define local World knowledge. That will not let up until the l; series exits Gemini during the 5340 l; conjunction period, but hemispheric antagonism should be resolved within the current kl; cycle (577 BCE-3370 CE) probably by the methods symbolized in the glyph system. See timeline charts pp. 57-59. Our Geministic-world is polarized, but destined to function politically as one World. There may be addendums to our knowledge base when we meet or create other galactic neighbors, but for now, Gemini is about the intellectual understanding of our local Geministic World. In conclusion, the Hellenistic period was when the collective mind began to scientifically understand itself in astronomic and other rational scientific terms. The collective mind may sense the world indirectly through animal senses so its conceptual base is not infinite but tied to human investigation. Its advantage is that it doesn’t forget everything like reincarnating humans. Starting intently with the 577 BCE kl; great conjunction and perhaps also the alignment of the tropical and sidereal zodiacs, it planed and urged the antecedents of culture that would make the mythic muses of archaic Greece, scientifically comprehensible. The science centers and libraries at Alexandria, Pergamum and other cities plus the trans-hemispheric science network allowed the creation of the Antikythera astronomical computer, and scientific understanding of the solar system. That trajectory of a cosmologic, trans- hemispheric philosophy and science to back it up, was halted by the advent and success of Roman Imperialism, which destroyed what Hellenistic Greece had conceived and was attempting to actualize in the real world at Ptolemaic Alexandria. At that initial stage of Western Imperialism, the collective mind probable did not fully understand its own antagonistic bipolar nature. By 1400 CE, when the glyph system was created, several waves of

77

Western Imperialism had transpired. That experience probably inspired the Gemini-like bi-polar structure and messages of the new glyph system, with an emphasis on resolution of that central political problem, so important to unity of the social organism. Serapis cult: Hellenistic civilization was a trans-hemispheric hybrid creation that mirrored the psychological proportionality of the extant world mind, but was perhaps naive to the astro-geographic structure and social psychological dynamics that motivates Western Imperialism. Trans-hemispheric hybrids may be fragile because they have no inherent shared land base. The geographic split is East or West, with the syncretism created being abstract and temporary similar to the symbolism of Jupiter h, a symbol of a combinatory collective mind. Trans-hemispheric states benefit from that psychological syncretism that eventually leads to concrete creative expressions both from the state and individuals. Serapis, the Greek/Egyptian composite god enshrined in the elaborate Serapeum temple in Alexandria, should be considered a syncretic combinatory deity which captured the psychology inherent in the great kl; conjunction of 577 BCE in Taurus and the following kl conjunctions in Gemini, (2°e in 401 BC and 18°e in 231 BC). The latter were associated with the Hellenistic science revolution that was centered at Alexandria. Those planets were the astrological factors behind the Serapis composite God involving Greek and Egyptian elements as the patron deity of Alexandria and the Ptolemaic Kingdom. It seems to emphasize the Taurus – Scorpio economic axis, the most materialistic sectors of the signs. The Ptolemaic Kingdom harnessed the fertile Nile delta to finance its advanced social creations, with the greatest of those creations being the largest repositories of extant knowledge in the World. In theory, the demiurge then uses that reservoir of new logos/word/scientific information to have his craftsmen/architects, the scholars of the Musaeum and the larger Hellenistic network of scientist to recreate the World at an accelerated, syncretic level.

SERAPIS combined the psychology of the outer planets of the great conjunctions of its day. Specifically the triple conjunction of kl; in Taurus in 577BC and the lk conjunctions at 2°e in 401 BC and 18°e in 231 BC. The immense Serapeum temple was completed in 231BC synchronous with the second lk conjunction. Both Serapis and the Serapeum with its sister library to the main musaeum library symbolize the shift in emphasis for Egypt away from cults devoted to vague afterlife gods, to the exact sciences which underpin the quest for achieving human longevity, and a huge increase in the logos or vocabulary from which the demiurge Pluto recreates the World.

The involvement of Pluto in successful trans-hemispheric state syncretism may be a required component that insures both hemispheres are together, regarding goals. Similarly Pluto is well placed in Scorpio in all of the post- Soviet charts and is one of the two major configurations, which will shape the characteristics of future E-W syncretic unions along the 30° Meridian. l; conjunctions: When you look at the current kl; 577 BCE conjunction cycle marked off in 495 year segments punctuated by l; conjunctions, you notice that they start in Taurus in 577 BCE and move into Gemini in 1398 CE. By that time the World had experienced two waves of Western Imperialism. Coincident with the entry of l; conjunctions into Gemini, the glyph system appeared, intellectually describing organismal development, and the problem of antagonistic hemispheric polarity. Subsequently three more waves of western Imperialism were experienced, with a final event still possible. What is different now in 2016 CE is that we have developed the scientific vocabulary necessary to begin to actualize the key element of the master plan, human longevity, the game- changer revolution symbolized by Uranus at the top of the wheel. Astrology progress depends largely on astronomy and when pre-scientific Imperial Rome destroyed the network of Greek science centers scattered around the Eastern Mediterranean, (centered in Alexandria) science stopped progressing. It destroyed much of what had been created by the Hellenistic civilization and postponed astronomic/astrological development until the Renaissance, when astronomy and science resumed. The meaning of individual glyphs is largely dependent on their relationship to the overall system that firstly describes the social organism, which in Imperial Roman and Catholic European Crusader times was still a problematic riddle for

serap.bmp sirap1.bmp sirap2.bmp Serapis_all.bmp, Serapis_all.pdf scorpio.bmp the collective mind. The l; 1398 CE conjunction in Gemini is the midpoint in the whole 3948 year (kl;- 577 BCE-3370 CE) cycle. It brought the renaissance (rebirth) of science and importantly for the collective mind an understanding of the intractability of Western Imperialism and a strategy for its resolution over time. Individual (natal) astrology interpretation cannot be properly understood if its relationship to that dualistic social- psychological structure is not understood. The main failure of Western astrology past and present is not recognizing the primacy of the system as description of the global organism, with individual personality subordinate to the larger mundane destiny. That situation is solely the result of incompatibility of that global conception with the goal of Western Imperialism. Proving astrology may also require a focus on social-psychological factors, by using verifiable regime horoscopes and transits rather than individual personal natal charts, which currently do not recognize or factor-in the more dominant social-psychological factors. Political collective bodies (nations and the UN) can be tracked as well as astro- logic inputs affecting the World at large measured in the natural tropical zodiac model. First Horoscopes: The Babylonians kept astronomy records from 750 BCE. They used the data (mainly eclipses) and planets to predict mundane events (political, military, and natural) for the ruler. The Greek’s religion was increasingly cosmological with their pantheon of Olympian Gods associated with the planets by the time Hellenistic scientist integrated Babylonian records into their new astronomical science systems. The Greeks had a deep interest in understanding the astronomical and assumed astrological elements of their religion. The rationalizing of astronomy and related sciences during Hellenistic times allowed development of a scientific astrological version of social and individual psychology. Babylonian eclipse and planetary records helped the Greeks to understand the Metonic and Soros eclipse cycles precisely and develop mathematical theories of Solar, Lunar and planetary motion, which they applied to gear ratios in the Antikythera mechanism. The new mathematical astronomy theories allowed construction of orrery mechanical models of the solar system produced by Archimedes (287-212 BCE) and Posidonius (135-51 BCE), which are thought to have been heliocentric after Aristarchus (310-230 BCE) first proposed the correct heliocentric solar system model, which had a substantial following among the Hellenistic astronomers. Russo 1996) Like the Babylonians the initial use of astronomical data was probably mundane, that is for political, military, and natural phenomena forecasting, thought to be an important factor by segments of the Greek intelligencia. For example, in the Peloponnesian War between Athens and Sparta (413 BCE) astrological advice on a Lunar eclipse was reported to have played a part in military strategy. Because of eclipse advice the commanding general, Nicias, decided to keep his fleet in the cramped harbor at Syracuse, for a month instead of sailing for home as previously planned and subsequently suffered a devastating defeat, that only got worse as the campaign in Sicily continued, leading to loss of the entire expeditionary force. Athens never fully recovered. Over the following ten years it lost its naval supremacy in the Aegean Sea and finally had to surrender to Sparta and her allies. Such beliefs fostered the astronomic technology needed to predict eclipses and planetary positions. Much later, after the final fall of Ptolemaic Egypt to the Romans in 30 BCE, natal (personal) horoscopy dominated, however mundane astrology remained an essential part of astrological theory, with Ptolemy devoting a large portion of his astrology book Tetrabiblos to the subject. He considered understanding collective mundane destinies as preliminary to understanding the natal chart, which he considered to be naturally subordinate to collective bodies. See Robbins 1940 Tetrabiblos 2.1 Introduction. In the Imperial Roman period (30 BCE -300 CE) Alexandria was still functioning as a center of innovation and concentration of scientific literature, although greatly reduced from its Hellenistic heyday, but before the Christian repression. The musaeum and library still received state support from the Caesar’s but its periodic and progressive downgrade since its last full functionality in 145 BCE was in one direction. See musaeum in wikipedia. 80

Technically, horoscope making was difficult but doable for the early astrologers as evidenced by the simplicity of horoscopes and scarcity of qualified astrologers, most of whom worked in Alexandria. Claudius Ptolemy’s (90-168 CE) spherical trigonometry methods of planetary motion, described in his astronomy book Almagest were influenced by the earlier Greek astronomers (Hipparchus, Apollonius of Perga, Eratosthenes and others who had worked on the same problems, often more accurately, for instance Eratosthene’s measurement of the World and length of a degree was very close to the actual size but about 20% larger than what Ptolemy used. Ptolemy’s calculations were complicated, due to epicycle alterations to planetary motion needed to make actual heliocentric planetary movements match the observed stationary-world geocentric-model Ptolemy believed in. Ptolemy’s methods were used for ephemeris and horoscope making until heliocentric astronomy began to produce more accurate data starting with Copernicus (1473-1534), Kepler (1571-1630) and Galileo (1564-1642). Ptolemy’s books were designed to make complicated astronomy and geography into doable astrology horoscopes and he succeeded. There were only a handful of named astrologers responsible for the distribution graph of earliest recorded horoscopes, shown below, with the spike in the first two centuries CE, attributable to 130 horoscopes done by Vettius Valens, a contemporary of Claudius Ptolemy, who like Ptolemy helped organize the first rules of chart interpretation. The graph shows the effect of Christian persecution on pagan religion, astrology and science in general after Christianity became the Roman state religion in 380 CE (Edict of Thessalonica). The library and larger musaeum complex of Alexandria, the main center of Greek astrology activity, was emptied and non-Christian beliefs and literature repressed and burnt. Pagan temples throughout the former Hellenistic world, like the Alexandrian Serapeum with its library, were destroyed or converted to churches, following other repressive edicts around 390 CE. That shifted remaining astrological activity to Arabic cities in the Middle East and later to Iberia. That served to preserve important Hellenistic and early Imperial Roman science literature, including Ptolemy’s books, that otherwise would have disappeared.

81 Greek7a.jpg Greek7.jpg Greek7_all.bmp, greek7_all.pdf Glyph Development Timeline: The glyph system coalesced in post-Byzantium, 1453 CE, after the fall of Constantinople to the Ottoman Turks and solidification of Muscovy, Russia in the north, as bulwarks against European Eastern expansion by land, across the 30° divide. The new glyph system recognized East/West antagonistic polarity as a problem. The symbolism of the outer planets kl; and asteroids, GFHJ discovered later, 1781-1930, repeated the plans central ideas and found rulership in logically probable signs. The glyphs introduced the body/soul sub-symbol system that could be used to describe developmental stages. The body symbol (t), in particular was sub-dividable into 4 node-based parts that could be used to describe organismal life-span, making statements on developmental biology possible. The cardinal cross destiny symbol became the unifying symbol of both East/West polarity-resolution and also individual biological perfection (maximum growth and longevity), thus marrying the two main goals (social and individual) in the simplest dualistic symbol possible, a cardinal cross, +. The cardinal cross, upright Gemini glyph, e and Geministic polarity characterize the final 1474 CE glyph set, while those features are missing in the Pluti.28.34 set. It should be noted that the new glyph system introduced philosophical concepts that did not exist before the 1398 l; conjunction in e. Reincarnation and transmigration of the soul through heaven was new and radically different from the previous Greek concept of Hades and the underground ruled by Pluto. One was a place of bliss, the other a place of confinement. Also the introduction of the body symbol t, based on parts of the Lunar Node symbol, introduced the concept of developmental evolution, as opposed to static special creation by a God, as previously assumed. Amazingly the new glyph concepts do not contradict the symbolic pictographs of the zodiac constellations. They only interpret them in a new scheme that recognizes developmental aspects of the evolving social and individual organism and orientates the whole scheme geographically as proposed here. New knowledge learned in the intervening two millenniums allowed a more scientific symbol system, which incorporated accumulated knowledge and the experience of a manifesting Western Imperialism. Perhaps the disappearance of (middle-ground) Byzantium in 1453 crystallized a more stark East-West conception of the World in the minds of the intelligencia of Western Europe that expressed by producing the final Regiomontanus glyph set that reflected that polarity but also interjected their core religious symbol where crosses were present in the extant Greek glyphs they inherited from Byzantium astronomer-astrologers.

Grey glyphs are margin edits by a post-original owner of the book.

The post-original editor also corrected the disorientated Lunar Node symbols. That disorientation of north and south Lunar Node symbols also occurs in the Pluti.28.34 chart below. They are disorientated relative to what survived in the final 1474 glyph set. That correction of orientation was necessary for the lunar nodes to make sense in the whole system as interpreted here, as organismal-development symbols, and sub-symbol parts of glyphs. The sign Leo, t, as a general nodal body symbol of a developing organism needs orientation to the top of the wheel as the apex of developmental growth and longevity, as applied to individual organisms.

The Final 1474 CE glyph set below, first appears in Regiomontanus calendar books, and ephemerides, published first in Nuremberg, Germany and shortly afterwards in Venice, Italy in 1474.( Muller 1474, Muller 1474a, Muller 1474b, Muller 1476) By 1492 the Regiomontanus (Johannes Muller von Konigsberg) ephemerides looked modern and were accurate (Muller 1492). These works were the apex of astronomical science at that time. Other astrological text became rich in astrologic artwork.(Albumasar 1488, Albumasar 1506) The square horoscope with the diamond in it became the standard chart form.

Gods and demi-Gods. Using the first symbolic (glyph) horoscope, the 3rd house is labeled house of the Goddess, while the opposite house was house of the God, as transliterated below. The God and Goddess referred to by this anonymous Greek author of Pluti.28.34 is probably best interpreted as demi-gods or semi-gods, in the manner of humans that approach God-like status because of similar attributes like longevity, omniscience and obvious outstanding physical qualities. Houses 11 and 12 are labeled as good and evil-spirit houses, suggesting polarized arch-spirits, as in Persian Zoroastrianism. The chart and immature glyphs shown in Pluti 28.34 show a struggling transition from earlier, indistinct Greek pantheistic concepts to a radical new set of distinct concepts and structural

The concept of the 3rd - 9th house demi-god formation remained valid in the final glyph system only the axis of demi-god formation shifted slightly to accentuate the vertical longevity-axis shared by both hemispheres, the er-op cusp.

The political situation at the time of the fall of Byzantium in 1453, makes the book Pluti.28.34 difficult to trace. Greek paganism was officially heretical in Byzantium and Rome, so proponents of the Greek pagan revival and the study of Plato were usually kept secret among the intelligencia. Astrology was an even less legitimate subject in public. Gemistus Pletho, a prominent neo-platonist philosopher, author and teacher was an exception due to his high status in the church and government of Byzantium at different times. He was conduit for Greek works being collected by Cosimo De Medici and was instrumental in reviving neo-Platonian, and pagan ideas in the renaissance at Florence, Italy. He helped De Medici set up an academy for Platonic and Greek studies in the decades before the fall of Byzantium. Pletho’s astrological ideas or contacts are unknown. The anonymous Greek author of Pluti.28.34 disappeared only to be succeeded by the sudden full glyph system in Regiomontanus printed books around 1474. Regiomontanus: There is good evidence that Regiomontanus (Johannes Muller of Konigsberg, Germany) had extensive acquaintance with most of the Greek source material of which Pluti.28.34 was a significant but by no means only part. Whether he actually read the Pluti document is unknown. Like his teacher George von Peuerbach of Austria he was a leading astronomer, mathematician, instrument maker, and compiler of astronomical tables. If anyone was capable of judging all the disparate parts that went into constructing the new glyph system, it was probably Regiomontanus. Unfortunately both men died around 40 years old, Peuerbach in 1461 and Regiomontanus in 1476 so the final sequence of glyph creation is obscure, however we know that Regiomontanus spent 4 years (after 1461) in Rome and Northern Italy renaissance centers under the guidance and patronage of Greek Catholic cardinal Basilios Bessarion, where he searched for and translated Greek astronomical and mathematical manuscripts for Bessarion, and completed the abridgement of Ptolemy’s Almagest, started by von Peuerbach before his death. Cardinal Bessarion had the largest collection of Greek manuscripts in Europe (over 500), and access to libraries in Rome, Florence, Ferrara, and Venice, with extensive contacts with the brightest Greek- orientated minds in the Italian renaissance. Bessarion, like Gemestos Plethon was a neo- Regiomontanus Platonist humanist philosopher and unionist-statesman involved in mediating the rapprochement of Catholic and Byzantine Christianity at the council of Florence in 1438. The attempt to resolve that dilemma and create a common defense to the Ottoman Turk

87

houlding.jpg, regio2.jpg houlding_all.bmp, houlding_all.pdf take-over of Byzantium failed, but Bessarion was more successful in supplying the Greek manuscripts used by Regiomontanus to synthesize the final glyph system. When the time came to start printing his astronomical calendars, ephemerides, and theoretical works on trigonometry, algebra, etc. (1472 in Nuremberg) Regiomontanus was prepared to make those simple glyph design decisions. The invention of the glyphs was demanded by his need for simple printing symbols for printing and instrument making. His whole short life seems to have prepared him to make those decisions, including the following. While in Italy he reconnected with prominent Italian mathematicians and astronomers that Peuerbach had collaborated with twenty years earlier. He made a portable sundial for Pope Paul II in 1465. Next, he traveled to Esztergom, Hungary where he worked for Archbishop Janos Vitez, calculating extensive astronomical tables and building astronomical instruments. Later he went to Buda, Hungary to the court of Matthias Corvinus where he built an astrolabe and collated Greek manuscripts. In 1471 he moved to Nuremberg, and partnered with his student and wealthy merchant Bernhard Walther to publish scientific literature starting in 1472 with Theoricae novae Planetarum by his teacher George von Peuerbach. It was the first printed astronomical textbook. He was summoned to Rome in 1475 by Pope Sixtus IV to work on calendar reform, and was made titular bishop of Regensberg, Germany. He died in Rome in 1476, probably from a plague. Whether Regiomontanus had a systemic conception of the overall glyph system or a sub-symbol conception involving the Lunar Node and Aries is unknown, but may be discoverable, with complete research. His work set a new standard for accurate ephemerides, and horoscopy, including a popular house system. His books on astronomy, and trigonometry were used to determine latitude for navigation by Columbus and other New World mariners, while Nicolas Copernicus (1473- 1543) built on his work in constructing his revolutionary heliocentric theory On the Revolutions of the Celestial Sphere (1543). See Wikipedia and references there-in for the above people.

There appears to be parallels between the way l; conjunctions are followed-up by kl conjunctions. The l; conjunction concerns the macro socio-political changes of the social organism, while the immediately following kl conjunction shifts the focus to the sciences associated with Uranus and the vertical longevity axis. Neptune’s function is to focus Pluto and Uranus energy to their finished idealized endpoints. Gemini conjunctions shown below, brought dramatic technological changes in the way scientific knowledge was organized, communicated and distributed. It appears that the demiurgic strategy is to hyper-activate the antecedents of science that underpin the longevity phenotype, but firstly it counters ongoing military threats from the West. For the demiurge Pluto, real- politic success is job-one, which precedes the more refined long-term solution (longevity) symbolized by kl.

Bold type = conjunctions in Gemini kl Uranus Neptune conjunctions: Neptune acts in conjunctions mostly to modify the other planet to a more idealized, developmentally-finished product. Uranus rules Sagittarius from the top of the wheel. Uranus symbolizes a capstone of all knowledge, focused on human longevity. The sign Sagittarius is associated with philosophy and synthesis of all scientific systems that underpin philosophical inferences. So Neptune idealizes and maximizes the k/o core functions like scientific investigation, knowledge accumulation and higher education. The kl conjunction is specifically about Uranus, which is ultimately about longevity, the endmost goal of science at the individual level. The background sign also modifies the meaning of the conjunction. Significantly the 1821 and 1993 conjunctions occurred in Capricorn thus repeating the symbolic focus on the longevity goal. Those two conjunction periods are flanked by conjunctions in Sagittarius in 1650 (Age of Enlightenment) and Aquarius coming up in 2165, showing a sweep of time that centers on the top of the wheel and longevity based on science. kl psychology is focused on the vertical axis of individual developmental perfection, as different from l; focus on the social organism’s development in total. Examples: 1650 CE kl conjunction in Sagittarius: Founding of Royal Philosophical Societies first in England and subsequently throughout Europe. The Enlightenment period. 1821 CE kl conjunction. All sciences were in increased development stage. The biology of disease and medicine made gains that lead to extended average lifespan. Germ and evolution theory change basic concepts of life’s origins. Large increases in median lifespan. 1993 CE kl conjunction: Biology of aging matures, with genetic and molecular causes of aging mapped. Proof of concept for extended maximum human longevity, using laboratory animals is accomplished. See Jenkins for an extensive astro-historical correlation timeline of history, which is in an early stage of organization.(Jenkins 1993) k; Uranus Pluto conjunctions occurs every 115-142 years. They appear in an alternating forward and backward pattern determined by Pluto’s elliptical orbit. See timeline chart p. 59. This is the conjunction of the hero, where the individual will unites with the will of the demiurge (public-worker) planet Pluto. They are both planets ruling the uppermost sectors of the Eastern hemisphere, Scorpio and Sagittarius, so their union in a personality or political movement is a formidable force for social change. Ideally Uranus’s cardinal cross + destiny-symbol is balanced on top of the World symbol, O, independent and neutral of E/W political struggle. The philosopher-king would rather mediate through creative intelligence than the force of political revolution or reform. His heart is in individual perfection and the Sagittarian realms of the intellect. Unfortunately, at the developmental

Van1eptable8p84e.bmp 89 stage of hemispheric power-resolution the normally self-centered Uranus is logically compelled to fight the just-war or support the emergent reform demanded by the politics of E/W struggle, often expressing as war, revolution, or contentious social/political reform. The generation whose horoscope the conjunction appears is often considered revolutionary, with a destiny to overthrow outmoded institutions that need transformation. The preferred expression of k; is that of the scientist adding socially revolutionizing inventions or information that skip steps of violent revolution or contentious reform. Uranus/Sagittarius symbolizes new science that has the power to better the human condition. Uranus is said to be exalted in Scorpio because of the ability of scientific knowledge to quicken social transformation toward the social ideal. As interpreted here Uranus symbolizes the resolution factor of human-longevity, that overcomes East/West antagonism. The last two conjunctions of k; in 1850 and 1965 are illustrative of the transformative force of this conjunction. Those who lived in the 1960’s remembers those politically contentious times, when the “Cold War” took us to the brink of WWIII. Socialist heroes fought the Cold War in the Soviet Union and hot wars in Viet Nam and other countries to establish their right of socialist self-determination. Likewise, 1850 saw the anti-slavery movement force the extinction of slavery in the USA’s bloodiest war. Abolitionist heroes like John Brown and later legions of Union soldiers fought the just necessary war, while the Southern heroes sacrificed themselves for a futile cause on the wrong side of history. Hemispheric Maps: The main vertical dividing axis of these maps does not change in either Mercator or satellite-view. but sign boundaries diverge considerably the further one gets east or west of 30° East longitude, in the two views, due to the inherent problem of superimposing a two dimensional plane on a three dimensional globe, not centered at the equator.

EU and Post-Soviet horoscopes – Chapter IV There were at least 22 new regimes formed because of the break-up of the Soviet Union. The long- term stability of all these regimes may be greatly improved by the long-term goal orientation of the outer-planet aspects discussed in the “Russia Day” chart below. The placement of Pluto in mid- Scorpio puts power where it will be maximal for the long-term survival challenges that are inevitable for the planet, while Uranus conjunct Neptune in Capricorn puts the target on individual human longevity. Saturn (ruler of Capricorn) and the North Node is also conjunct or close-by the kl conjunction in all these charts, reinforcing the longevity goal as one of two core themes, for all these regimes. The timing of these placements was probably influenced by the collective mind because they are timely, but also timeless World goals, and involve the geography of the astro-geographic overlay covering Scorpio through Capricorn, the signs whose business is these very goals. These countries horoscopes now speak to goals inherent in their geography. Furthermore, the founding of the European Union with the Maastricht Treaty, exactly aligned in time with the founding of the Commonwealth of Independent States (12-1991 through 2-1992). In fact, in the few days (December 8- 9, 1991) when the final draft of the Maastricht treaty was being completed in Brussels, Belgium, the leaders of Russia, Ukraine and Belarus were busy in a forest location in Belarus, dismantling the Soviet Union and replacing it with the loose Commonwealth of Independent States, the Belavezha Accords. The CIS and EU seem destined to become multi-state political/economic/social structures that together straddle the East-West hemispheric divide, 30°E. The CIS and EU charts are practically the same, in emphasizing the grand Post-Soviet regimes themes discussed above, involving the outer three planets. It points to a mutual interest in the longevity project, and the socialistic development program symbolized by a powerful Pluto in mid- Scorpio. That similarity will allow eventual integration; however Western Imperialism is still the most powerful organizing force in international politics and will remain a constraint until

92 conic.bmp, world44eu.bmp recognition and resolution of that problem. That reality will probably continue to repress the strong Pluto component of all these charts, including the EU, until the long-lived human phenotype is created that can unite the hemispheric halves. At least both halves of the hemispheric divide now have similar multi-state structures (CIS and the EU), with similar horoscopes, that have the long-term potential to resolve the conundrum of World disunity. The Maastricht treaty horoscope was finally ratified and went into force on November 1, 1993. It is a powerful chart with a strong Scorpio socialistic-sector (including Mars conjunct Pluto in Scorpio). The chart also contains the last exact conjunction of Uranus and Neptune in Capricorn, indicating maximal concentration of the psychology that will produce the long-live phenotype. Economic necessity will probably force Scorpionic (socialistic) solutions for Europe in the coming decades but not reach the level of resolving Western Imperialism, through trans-hemispheric integration. The EU is approaching half a billion people, and has immense pressures to utilize the efficiencies of socialism that is here proposed to be inherent in its founding horoscopes.

Regimes: Political horoscopes may work, because they represent a new group of leaders of a society that feel strongly about the issues that prompted the regime change to happen. They coalesce as a new dominant power matrix in the local body politic that guides the regimes inception and thereafter. The planetary patterns in the political horoscope symbolize the goals, characteristics and timing of cycles determined by the astrological patterns. Presumably the larger the mass of people (popular) or proportion of the society that has a psychological stake in the new regime, the more powerful and enduring the regime will be. These post- Soviet charts possess focused symbolism on our most long-standing goals (human longevity), and perhaps equally important to the majority half of the collective mind is the ideal Pluto in Scorpio position, symbolizing political organization of the World. It is a simple combination that may give these horoscopes very long endurance.

EU Maastricht November 1, 1993 12:00 AM, Brussels

Individual affluence jG creative, well-integrated political class. supported by abundant socialistic infrastructure.

Peace orientated.

Individual perfection goal. Socialistic solutions.

The EU Maastricht Chart (activated) for November 1, 1993 is very attractive as a political union chart. It has many close conjunctions and aspect patterns involving the outer planets in the social signs, u-], in tight integrated patterns. The recurrence of the kl conjunction and Pluto in Scorpio themes in the precursor EU founding charts (above), and the Post Soviet group in general, shows the paired themes of social and individual developmental perfection, may be the social-psychological motivating force behind these charts coming into existence in the short period of years around 1990 when both themes were just right for synchronous balanced expression.

eumastr.jpg, eusymbol.jpg, eumastr_all.bmp 104

The EU chart is far to socialistic and peace orientated a chart than most Western Europeans can accept but because that socialistic and peace orientated stellium (Venus thru Pluto in Libra and Scorpio) is linked to the superlative last exact conjunction of Uranus/Neptune in Capricorn, which symbolizes their highest ideals (individual perfection, science) Europe is extremely reluctant to abandon the chart altogether. It is a chart that potentially counters Western Imperialism, but until that antagonistic force is recognized the EU will remain an unfulfilled potential. It is important to separate the EU from NATO intellectually, even if that is meaningless in real political calculations. The A symbol below shows structurally supportive connections if not unity, except for the top and the rail. The two legs represent unified east-west social infrastructure, while the rail represents long- lived mass populations with a shared psychological attachment to hemispheric equanimity, due to chosen birthing.

RUSSIA

Russia covers four sections of the astro-geographic overlay diagram ( p o i u ), and depending on the period of history under consideration, different sections were emphasized. Currently in the post-Soviet era, Russian territory is covered by the signs Scorpio and Sagittarius, with a small slice of Capricorn and a poorly-defined area under Libra influence. (see maps above.) In Czarist times the Capricorn sector was much more geographically represented than now, with all or parts of Belarus, Ukraine, Poland, Finland, and the Baltic states included at different periods. Indeed the political foundations of Russia came from the region of Ukraine, with the founding Rurik dynasty originating in Scandinavia. Now, Russia is dominantly under the Sagittarius and Scorpio sectors with both signs well represented in the national “Russia Day” regime chart.

world4kc1.jpg, Worldrus_all.bmp 105 A2.jpg, a.jpg, a2_all.bmp worldrus.jpg,

Chart 1 is for the Romanov (1613) dynasty. The nature of monarchy in general is Capricornian (authoritarian and autocratic). In general, 862-1917 was characterized by Capricornian authoritarian monarchy without a constitution or democracy. Those dynasty charts may reflect different aspects of the two dynasty periods 862-1598 and 1613-1917 that share the long Capricorn-like monarchy period, where over a millennium, autocratic monarchs consolidated power and grew the geographically successful Russian empire. The monarchy period ended in March of 1917 with the abdication of the Tsar Nicholas II, and the start of “The Great October Socialist Revolution”, also called “Soviet Power”. Power and authority are the same word in Russian, and “Soviet Power” was a title used by Lenin and others to describe the regime which started on November 7, 1917. The word Slav is very close to the English word slave and the Slavic peoples, because of their geographic location are fated to serve indispensible functions associated primarily with Sagittarius and Scorpio, and to a less degree Capricorn and Libra sectors of the astro-geographic overlay. Those functions are required for insuring the existing power balance of the collective mind and political unification of the World. The symbolism and psychology of the North-East quadrant signs plus Capricorn (u i o p) and planets involved as rulers ( f ; k j ) make plain the core psychology of the Russians. They are united by the political goals of trans-family social organization plus human longevity associated with the top of the wheel. The goals of the Majority half of the collective mind are encapsulated in the Pluto/Scorpio psychology and associated with Pluto as planetary source of the (public-worker demiurge psychology) which ensures those functions demanded by the Eastern majority-fraction of the collective mind. Russia’s strategic location in the main corridor of imperialist wars has made their destiny more critical than other nations, and presumable under more strict control by the collective mind however Russia is more complex than Scorpio duty and power. Sagittarius is equally strong in the Russian overlay map. Sagittarian science and philosophy as astrology is destined to reveal the structure and rational of Western Imperialism, thus forewarning and forearming the Russian intelligencia. The Sagittarius sector shares the top of the hemispheric divide with Capricorn. Belarus, Ukraine and Turkey are partly under the Sagittarius sector. They all have a role in producing the long-lived human phenotype that may be necessary for achieving hemispheric unification and survival of the natural power equation. The role of Sagittarius and Uranus may be greater than that of Capricorn and Saturn in motivating the quest for individual longevity, because the science symbolized by Sagittarius is sufficient and necessary for a successful longevity program, but more importantly, the Eastern hemisphere has a much greater strategic interest in resolving the existential threat of Western Imperialism, hopefully by the peaceful means proposed in this interpretation of the astrology glyphs. Tartar/Mongol influence: Previous to the rise of a unified Russian monarchy, with the consolidation of Muscovy Russia under Ivan the Great, III (1462-1505), the Scorpionic Tartar/Mongol Empire, began in the Siberian steppes (Scorpio sector) and launched one of the most successful empires ever in terms of territory and military success. Those highly disciplined nomadic tribes (Mongol and Tartar tribes) were unified under Genghis Khan and began their conquest in 1206.

106

By 1260 they had conquered a majority of the countries in the Eastern Hemisphere including most of China, Korea, Central Asia, Iraq, Persia, part of Turkey, Russia and parts of the Balkans. Their military/political attitude was simple and Scorpionic; submit and cooperate or be liquidated. The Mongol Empire may be considered as the Majority Spirits response to Catholic European Crusader - Imperialism. Relative to Western Imperialism, the long lasting effect of Mongol domination was to concentrate power in larger successor empires that followed, especially those that front the East/West divide. Russian and the Ottoman Turk empires gradually coalesced over the following 200 years into consolidated centralized empires that presented an effective military barrier to Western European land invasion along the East/West divide. That land barrier held until the 20th century, but the scientific and industrial revolution, that was centered in Western Europe gave Western countries a technologic advantage in colonization of the New World and the East by sea, with the help of the ever increasing military superiority that culminated in the 19th and 20th century. The Mongol empire was relatively short-lived (1206-1480) but seems to have had a long lasting militarizing (Scorpionic) influence on the structure and character of the successor states, Russia and the Ottoman Turk empires, making them larger, centralized, and power orientated. As Russia conquered the remnants of the Mongol Khanates, it was drawn east into Siberia and eventually extended to the Pacific Ocean. By 1689, it bordered the Turk Ottoman empire, Kazakhstan, Mongolia and China, thus adding the Scorpio astro-geographic component to the Russian national psyche. That Scorpio geography added to and solidified the Scorpionic influence of about two hundred years of Mongol domination, (1240-1480) that had already help mold Muscovy

107

Russia into a powerful centralized monarchy and service state, very different from the previous disunited federation of city-states of Kievan, Novgorod, or Vladimir Rus.(Milner-Gulland 1998) Short history: Alexander Nevsky, the sainted Russian Prince of Novgorod, defeated the Swedes in 1240 and later in 1243, he defeated the German Teutonic Knights, and local Estonians at battles near present day Saint Petersburg. Those battles were in part, part of the Northern Crusades sanctioned by the Popes against pagan and Orthodox Christian territories. Alexander Nevsky subsequently submitted to Batu the Mongol leader of the Golden Horde, who had recently sacked Kiev and Chernigov as part of a much larger Mongol conquest that temporarily extended into Central Europe and the Balkans. Alexander Nevsky’s submission to the Mongols saved Novgorod and Northern Russia from destruction, and he was made Grand Prince of Vladimir by the Mongols, with the yarlyk authority to rule and collect taxes for the new Mongol Khanate of the Golden Horde, whose capitol was at Sarai on the lower Volga river. The Rurik dynasty, that had ruled Kievan/Novgorod Rus since 862, continued to prosper in Vladimir and the nearby Principality of Muscovy, as servitors of the Khanate. A Rurik prince of Moscow had married a sister of the ruling Khan of the Khanate of the Golden Horde. Thereafter the small but growing Muscovy principality usually held the Mongol Yarlyk mandate to rule. Muscovy had a long stable period of six long-lived Rurik monarchs over 225 years, from 1359-1584 that developed a unique unitary power structure, that determinedly extended its authority, and (gathered-in) the surrounding principalities into a unified Russian monarchy. That unitary power structure was based on a subservient aristocracy and servitor class. That structure allowed steady accretion of military power and territory expansion relative to rival principalities, whose power was more fragmented into local aristocratic power centers. Significantly Muscovy instituted a policy of land ownership (pomestye) wherein the monarch held dominium, (unfettered right of disposal) over all land and the state granted the aristocracy (servitors and gentry) land tenure conditional on continued service to the state, that could be withdrawn at the monarchs whim. That practice began in 1480, under Ivan III, with the subjugation of the Principality of Novgorod, the largest principality. Thereafter, the aristocratic class became dependent on loyalty to the monarch, which greatly increased the monarch’s power. Under Tartar/Mongol domination taxes, etcetera, were channeled to the Khan in Sarai, but as Mongol rule loosened, those taxes continued to be collected, only now they were used exclusively by the Muscovy monarch.

108

Novgorod was emblematic of an alternative (Sagittarian) Russia that in theory might have been. Novgorod was liberal, democratic and commercially powerful. It was the largest commercial center, and the easternmost terminal of the European Hansiatic trade-league. It traded the products of Northern Russia into Western Europe. It was a window on, and conduit to the West on many levels, and its long tradition of democracy included the institution of the veche bell, by which any citizen could ring the large bell and convene a council to resolve political issues. Governments were Tartar2e.tif, tartar2e_all.bmp Urancan.bmp, urancan2.bmp, urancan_all.bmp Romanov Dynasty Chart March 3, 1613 Moskva, Russia service-state aristocracy

idealistic autocratic monarchy

land based power united multi-region Slavic aristocracy oligarchic but democratic, where the grand prince, Mayor, and archbishop were less powerful. The Pskov, Tver and other principalities also had veche bell institutions. Novgorod’s ruling aristocracy was commercially rich but politically fragmented and militarily weak. Novgorod’s problem/mistake was negotiating with Lithuania, Muscovy’s deadly arch-rival to the West. Muscovy was determined to reestablish its perceived patrimony of a united Russia, and when Novgorod continually procrastinated, Ivan III defeated them and hauled away the veche bell to Moscow. He ended their independent state structures, replaced the church leadership and confiscated their lands. Some thousands of better-off Novgorod citizens were forcibly relocated to other parts of Russia in the following years, while 1.2 million hectares of land was reallocated under the new (pomestye) land tenure system to a new servitor class that was quickly extended. The Hansiatic league merchants were ejected in the 1490’s, and Novgorod no longer permitted to independently deal with foreign states.

109

The rise of Muscovy was not accomplished in a vacuum. To the West, Poland/Lithuania, Sweden and German states remained growing rivals ready to expand East if given the opportunity. The Tartar/Mongol influence encouraged Muscovy to evolve a more centralized, power orientated monarchy than her rivals to the West, which facilitated Russia’s territorial expansion in the coming centuries. The Rurik dynasty died out in 1598, instigating a succession struggle that lasted over a decade (the time of troubles). It was characterized by intervention (invasions) from the Poland/Lithuania and Sweden, showing the readiness of those Western states to exploit Russian weakness. The Poles and Swedes were driven out and a Russian elected Tsar, starting a new dynasty that would last until 1917. The founding date of the Rurik dynasty (862) is historically vague and will not be discussed, but the Romanov dynasty chart shown below, for election of Mikhail Romanov, by the Zemsky Sobor (oligarchic council) is reliable, except for the time of day. In that case a natural zodiac form is used (0°Aries on the left and 0°Capricorn at the Top of the wheel, which does not reflect the time of day. The Sun is conjunct Saturn,(ruler of Capricorn) and would be a good aspect for any monarch or authority figure. The conjunction is in mid-Pisces, and in octave (red lines) aspects to the outer social planets. In many ways the chart reflects the long succession of ideal conservative monarchs, who guided the territorial expansion of Russia, following the period of Rurik dynasty consolidation of centralized power into the Muscovy service state. The result was the most geographically successful contiguous monarchical empire in the World, but one that by 1917 had lost its ability to counter Western Imperialism due in part to isolation from the European science revolution, initiated in the Renaissance coincident with the beginning of l; conjunctions in e 1398 and 1893. The same problem was overcome by Ottoman Turkey and China, by switching from aristocratic autocracy to Scorpionic regimes that maximally concentrated military power and state control. The active policy of sequestering Western technology from Russia and the East remains a potent tool of Western Imperialism which sees their technology as the final decider of polarity resolution.

The Soviet Power chart is Scorpionic, with aspects for idealistic leadership. The need for this regime can best be explained in the context of 20th century Western Imperialism, and the 1891 l; conjunction that preceded the “Soviet Power” Bolshevik revolution of 1917. Fortunately, Western Imperialism was checked by this regime and now Russia can move on to a less bitter destiny, as promised in the Russia Day and similar post- Soviet charts. The founding document for the “Soviet Power” regime was composed by Lenin, as decree #1. It was dated with exact time of day, thus giving confidence to the ascendant and planet house positions.

Scorpio, while Pluto, Neptune and Saturn are in the 8th house. Those factors make the chart Scorpionic. (Moon 45° Pluto) indicates popular support for socialistic themes, surrounding an idealistic leadership (Neptune conjunct Saturn). The Moon, Pluto, Uranus configuration signifies the culture of the comrade hero at the group level. Numerous 8th harmonic aspects link to those Scorpionic factors. The strict totalitarian nature of the regime’s communism may reflect the historical need of Russia and the Eastern hemisphere in general for effective military and industrial power to match the emergent threat from the West. Russia had a history of yielding destiny to Scorpionic power to meet its geographic based strategic needs. The best example being the period under Tartar/Mongol domination that fostered the militarily successful autocratic service state. The chart reflects the very difficult mission that “Soviet Power” had to accomplish, which was to counter the most powerful thrust of Western Imperialism in all history coming first from the German center and then the American. That mission was accomplished 100% and Russia stands today with nuclear parity with the Western countries. Western Imperialism is in check, but not checkmate. One of the myths associated with Scorpio, is the phoenix bird that crashes to earth and rises again from its ashes in a new incarnation. The myth seems to fit the destruction of the Soviet Union where the new post-Soviet regimes have a powerful astrologic connection with the parent regime, because the breakup of the Soviet Union came in December 9,1991 with the formation of the CIS,

111

Commonwealth of Independent States. Pluto was then at mid-Scorpio at perihelion (closest to the Sun) at 12°i44' which is close to the “Soviet Power” Sun degree, (14°i18') thus linking the post-Soviet regimes with the “Soviet Power” chart at a special point (mid-Scorpio) where Pluto is ideally placed for Scorpio attributes like political, military and economic power. The Sun was the traditional planet involved with the myth. Scorpio and Pluto are in general, astrologic factors associated with transformation, as metaphoric death and rebirth.

The Russia Day chart shown above may represent a new era in Russian history, where the Sagittarian sector of the Russian character gets to shine, coequal with the more familiar Scorpio sector that dominated the 72 year “Soviet Power” regime period. The Scorpio sector of the Russian character is fully satisfied in the “Russia Day” chart by the ideal placement of Pluto in Scorpio. That position insures a powerful State sector. What is new in the new regimes is the kl stellium in Capricorn with its focus on the revolution of individual longevity and all the sciences associated with Sagittaius, that Soviet7.bmpsupport that, Soviet7_all.bmp ultimate goal. , phoenix.tif Rusday7.bmp, rusday7_all.bmp While essentially a personal goal, longevity may also have an important political function in resolving hemispheric antagonism, by creating a long-lived political class, psychologically connected to both hemispheres. The 60° aspect between the Pluto and the Neptune/Uranus/Saturn conjunction forms part of a so-called “mystic or harmonic rectangle” (green lines below) that connects virtually all the other planets in close cofigurations indicating a close relationship between the state and the personal longevity project. Similar close aspects between Uranus, Neptune and Saturn are also present in the Romanov dynasty chart, symbolizing the many outstanding monarchs in the Romanov dynasty. The kl psychology is the same but development stage of the sciences and the social organism, limit how it can express. Russia’s current regime and the other post-Soviet nations all share these two themes which now will get fully expressed as the World social organism deals with the problem of over-population in a way that achieves our deepest personal and collective goals. These are themes that have no end point other than perpetual improvement of individual lifespan and development of the social organism to meet survival needs. The Russia Day chart in particular is outstanding for having 5 planets in the signs they rule, including ;jgfd, with Jupiter in r, the sign of its exaltation. Exaltation, like rulership is part of a system of clasifying planets based on degree of similarity, afinity or compatability in the various zodiac signs. The order of description is rulership, exaltation, detriment, and fall. The asteroids Pallas Athena, G and Ceres, F are also in the signs they co-rule in the interpretation presented here. Sun, Athena, Mercury and Midheaven in Gemini indicate education will be a specialty of the Russia Day regime, with Athena and Mercury well positioned as co-rulers of Gemini and the whole group in the 9th house of higher education, and foreign associations. In the Russia Day horoscope the planetary patterns associated with the two themes described below are harmoniously connected to each other in two integrated patterns. Pluto opposite Venus and the other Uranus conjunct Neptune opposite Jupiter form a relatively rare pattern called a mystic rectangle where the two oppositions are joined by harmonious aspects (60° and 120°) so that activation of either opposition by a transiting planet simultaneously makes harmonious aspects to the other opposition line planets. The pattern may reduce oppositional factionalism in the political body, by synergetic integration of separable goals. The integration of the two main developmental pathways symbolized by the X in the mystic rectangle may functionally homogenize the effects of outer planet transits to either group. That in effect, takes the bounce out an alternating cycle, as if turning a 2-cylinder engine into a 4 cylinder engine. The glyph system presents the social organism as the primary subject of the system. The individual horoscope can only be interpreted properly as a subordinant cell in that higher organism, but a cell

113 with the potential to one day be transferred from the parent organism to another planetary environment. Harmonic Aspect theory: The red lines are octave harmonic aspects (the circle divided by 45° or multiples of 45° (0°, 22½°, 45°, 90°, 135°, 180°). They form a family of aspects with a similar meaning and are the most important aspects in astrology charts and also by transit. “Octave aspects (red lines) are “the driving force, the fundamental motivation and energetic structure of the chart. They are a kind of skeleton on which the other aspects hang. They provide the basic psychological motive that moves the person or regime to action”. (Cochrane 2002) When Pluto makes an octave aspect to either group it activates the psychology inherent in the particular combination. The other harmonic aspect groups, modern astrologers usually consider, are those produced by the circle, (360°), divided by the numbers 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 and 12.

In the “Russia Day” chart Pluto is exactly opposite Venus. Both planets are in the middle of the signs they rule. This is the economic axis of the signs and corresponds with the 2nd and 8th houses in the natural zodiac (Aries on the left). They are the signs, houses and planets where an astrologer looks for the money or resource situation. Having this placement of Venus and Pluto is rare statistically

Van1eptable11p118.bmp 115 and symbolically exactly what you would want in terms of wealth both for the State and the individual, however Pluto is not in the 8th house, which is its natural house position, but in the 2nd house of personal resources, perhaps indicating a situation where state support programs will eliminate the need for great personal wealth, similar to the Scandinavian welfare model. The f; opposition in the signs they rule is a strong indicator of wealth both personal and public. This opposition is Decile (36°) and quintile (72°) connected to Sun, Mars and Saturn by what some aspects around the Venus-Pluto astrologers consider the fun or play aspects. They are opposition. Interpretation: "Fun aspects based on the circle divided by 5 or 10 which is and enjoyment associated with power and resources." 72°(quintile) and 36°( decile). This shows that in addition to wealth there will also be much fun and enjoyment for those who work in and manage the projects the Russians vote for. The citizens will be individually wealthy and enjoy building the socialist infrastructure of the state, which in Pluto/Scorpio psychology, always wants to expand to the global model. While the core of this configuration is solidly economic (f x ;) positioned perfectly in the primary economic signs w and i the abundance of decile and quintile aspects indicates the final state structure will be as much about entertainment, sport, higher education and cultural activities as material production. This is not the slave of just-War seen in Soviet times, but the slave of science and peaceful socialist development. Now that the Great Patriotic War and the Cold War are over, the broad pattern of Western Imperialism is much clearer now than say in the times of Stalin, Lenin or Marx. By using national charts and the glyph system as it relates to geography one can understand the historical phenomena astrologically. The Russia Day chart is full of promise, but like its predecessor regime “Soviet Power”, its options of action are restricted by a still–active Western Imperialism which restricts any lofty ideas promised in the Russia Day chart. The demiurgic majority spirit, symbolized by Pluto/Scorpio psychology still has its hands full in dealing with an active Western Imperialism; especially the constant threat of instant first-strike annihilation. With that in mind Russia should pay attention to the USA imperialist cycle, as the USA deals with a truly challenging Pluto return and period of potentially bellicose Western Imperialism. See USA timeline chart pp. 140, 150. The USA Pluto return to its 1776 location has its last transit in 2-2024 and internal political issues of conservative or liberal control of the government will come to a head and be resolved by then but if the conservatives remain in control, there will be no safety till the whole conservative/imperialist cycle ends in 9-2030, (last transit of Pluto over USA Mars degree), at which time the alternating liberal/conservative cycle switches to the liberal part of the cycle.

One other factor should be noted concerning the influence of Pluto/ Scorpio psychology in Russia’s character and destiny. In the table on page 63 we see that Pluto’s perihelion point is now circulating foreword through its home sign of Scorpio at the rate of 1°/70 yrs. The most recent perihelion was in September 5, 1989 at 12°i44' Tropical Zodiac and will occur in Scorpio for another 981 years. Starting in Sagittarius in 2981. It should be a welcome transition as Sagittarius is arguably the more dominant sign in the Russia astro-geographic overlay. In reality when Sagittarian science and philosophy start generating the long–lived political class it will serve an essentially Scorpionic function of unifying and leading the World’s governing bodies. By 2981 the threat of Western

Rusday7.bmp, rusday7e_all.bmp 117

Imperialism may be contained as the Sagittarian part of the Russian character actualizes a more sophisticated method of political leadership, but for now Russia has a more Scorpionic real-politic role in E-W polarity resolution. As noted earlier, 14° Scorpio is closely associated with the “Soviet Power” 1917 horoscope’s Sun degree and Pluto’s position in the 1990 “Russia Day” chart. Pluto’s perihelion position at mid Scorpio is a strong indicator of psychological support for success in all things military and should give any Western military strategist doubt about the odds for Western success in an existential confrontation with Russia. The long secular transit of Pluto Perihelion at mid-Scorpio shows that organizing the political structure of the World is a core goal for the Social organism at this time, while the glyph system symbolism describes a sophisticated strategy of longevity extension and psychological selection of ideal birth times for political harmony. The charts show Russia has a key role in achieving both goals. The mystic or harmonic rectangle in the “Russia Day chart shows plainly that the two goals are mutually supportive, which is true in general for all the post-Soviet and EU regime charts, which share configurations involving Pluto’s Scorpio position and the conjunction of Neptune and Uranus during the period 1989-1993. UKRAINE

Ukraine is special, in that it straddles the East-West divide at 30°E., split between the two signs that have the most to do with longevity, o and p. In agreement with that pro-longevity psychology, the Ukrainian national symbol, resembles two individuals inwardly facing each other in a Uranus–like symbol, as if to say “we are concentrating on our own special goal and have what we need to achieve it”.

That nexus of political leadership includes the kl longevity conjunction and a more distant but well placed Saturn at 1°Aquarius, indicating a leading political role for Ukrainian political elites, especially when longevity becomes a political multiplier. It is inportant for Ukainians to understand the astrology behind the overt politics of East–West antagonistic-polarity, because their national political-body (East-West Ukraine) is a miniture version of the larger world organism. The problems of the larger organism may be more manageable in the smaller racially-homogenous national model, especially if the problems are understood astrologically by the intelligencia. The Ukraine chart and all the post-Soviet charts are relatively simple and easy to interpret because of distinct patterns built around two core goals associated with the kl conjunction and the ideal position of Pluto in mid Scorpio.

The Pluto cycle last 248 years. It appears that the first quarter of that cycle since independence involves establishing the political structures that underlay the kl conjunction complex in Capricorn which also includes the Ascendant. It is a very politically orientated complex that is obviously orientated to the Western half of the country and has a strong affinity with Capricornian Europe due to the background sign of the conjunction, and West Ukraine’s Capricorn astro-geographic location. With Pluto transits in political charts the whole 248 year cycle needs to be considered. Linking to the EU may be necessary for lasting trans-hemispheric stability but West Ukraine need to understand the long–term Eastern bias built into the geography of the Ukrainian body politic. If democracy can function it will achieve its will peacefully; if not the Pluto/Scorpio psychology may turn to real-politic power to defend its strategic interest. The Ukrainian intelligencia needs to appreciate the psychological needs of the whole Ukrainian organism and its relationships to Western Imperialism which is a higher order of priority. Russia’s annexation of Crimea demonstrated the strategic geopolitical importance of E-W geography, of which Ukraine is central in current military calculations. Unlike the Russian chart, built around a harmonious rectangle (4 points) the Ukraine chart is a polarized 2 point system mediated by a commanding Pluto in Scorpio at the top of the wheel, with the overall cycle timed by long duration Pluto transits.

Ukraine-Russia composite chart (mid-point chart): Basic themes involving the outer planets are not substantially altered in the composite (compatibility) chart with Russia. Core themes and goals are indicated to be mutually reinforced by cooperative agreements. Both countries, like most of the post- Soviet charts share the outer planet configurations that unite them all as a unique group. Russia’s geography is overlayed in part by Scorpio, while Ukraine’s is not, however, like all the post- soviet regime charts they both have the powerful Pluto in Scorpio position in their regime charts, so Russian economic unions will always robustly feed that Pluto/Scorpio socialistic factor with material and psychological support. Both Russia and Ukraine share completely the Sagittarian sector and part of the Capricorn sector so they are both wedded to the goals symbolized by the kl conjunction. There is really no psychological conflict or difference in goal orientation between the two countries; however Russia is geographically dedicated to the fixed responsibilities of Scorpio due to its strategic military location in the Eastern hemisphere.

That bias will always express at the government level if democracy can operate. The Maidan takeover of the government leadership by pro-Western factions subverted that Eastern bias by removing the previous pro-Eastern leadership. In the long run, nationwide democracy will be restored, and the pro-Eastern bias built into the geography and demography of a united Ukraine will reassert its natural pro-Eastern affinity through elections.

ukrrus.bmp, ukrrus_all.bmp 126

The larger dynamic of Western-Imperialism overlays the Ukrainian/Russia relationship, and cannot be understood intellectually without astrology. The Jupiter/Athena conjunction in the 9th house indicates eventual understanding of the problem astrologically by Ukrainian politicians. It is plain from the many planets in the 2nd and 8th houses, which is the economic-axis of the Ukraine/Russia composite chart that the relationship in general is strongly economic in nature. Furthermore, that economic axis is closely connected to an adjacent 8th harmonic pattern (red lines) involving the Pluto in Scorpio on the Ascendant aspecting virtually all of the other planets, Nodes of the Moon and Midheaven. The chart seems to reflect the recent historical reality of Russia and Ukraine, the two main member states of the Soviet Union, allied during a very brutal period of World history. Millions of people worked in thousands of factories, collective farms, mines, and massive construction projects, which built the War machinery and supportive urban society infrastructure which defeated German Imperialism and fought the Cold War to a peaceful end. The Russians and many the people of Ukraine are proud of what Soviet socialism constructed and accomplished. The economic nature of the composite chart shows that Russia would reinforce materially and psychologically Ukraine’s Eastern hemisphere goals and psychology. For Western Ukraine to vilify all things Soviet and Russian is like the Dragon’s head attacking its tail. That may be popular politics today, but Pluto moves on to activate a less-Western psychology most of the 248 year Pluto cycle; better to face the reality of what Ukraine is. It’s a rare trans-hemispheric state important to the collective mind as a mediator between the two power centers which lie east and west of Ukraine, the EU/NATO and CIS/Russia, true nuclear superpowers with (MAD) Mutual Assured Destruction potential. The astrological glyph system was conceived and inspired by the collective mind. It explains Western Imperialism as an irrational biological stage of social evolution, came up with two ingenious methods of pacifying Western Imperialism through chosen births and longevity, thus creating a political class of long-lived attractive leaders, but in the meantime the threat of MAD can be greatly reduced by understanding the problem astrologically. The problem of NATO encirclement of Russia and Western Imperialism in general needs to be recognized and changed. A confrontation with NATO serves an overdue real-politic lesson for the West. NATO expansion at the expense of Russian security will no longer be tolerated. See discussion in USA section pp. 147. The USA promised not to expand NATO one inch to the East, in informal negotiations with the USA when the USSR granted permission for East and West Germany to unify and join NATO. There are six EU members who have declared their non-alignment with military alliances. They are Austria, Cyprus, Finland, Ireland, Malta, and Sweden. Switzerland is not a EU member but is non-aligned. Ukraine should do the same. Ukraine-EU composite chart: The octave harmonic aspects (red lines) involving kl; that represent interaction in the socio-political sphere, between the Ukraine and the EU are not as plentiful as in the Russian composite chart. The composite ascendant is Scorpio, between Mars Pluto, perhaps indicating a tendency of Ukraine to draw the EU closer to the socialistic model in the future when East Ukraine regains its demographic dominance and consequent pro-Eastern policies. Such accommodation is probably necessary if Ukraine is to become a center of trans-hemispheric syncretic creativity, in the way that Hellenistic Alexandria was in 232 BCE-32BCE.

The economic benefits of EU membership may be more passive and slow to materialize than promoted, because of shortcomings of the capitalist system revealed in recent years in satisfying less-developed member states economic needs. The biggest benefit may be from tapping into the Western educational system, and the psychological culture of the NW quadrant in general. Capricorn introduces the quadrant of the Zodiac (p [ ]) of developmental completion and body/soul maturity. That developmental stage is associated with the finished product. It naturally confers attitudes of exceptionalism, superiority, and the ideal, plus the desire and expectation to rule. The developmental maturity quadrant is more scientifically advanced than the other quadrants which may feed the kl longevity goal, one of two in the Ukraine chart and the post-Soviet regimes in general. The kl Uranus –Neptune conjunction is the core aspect in the broad stellium associated with the Euromaidan revolt. The conjunction was hyper-activated by Pluto’s transits over the kl Uranus–Neptune conjunction during the high-point of the Euromaidan revolt (November 21, 2013 thru February 22, 2014). the kl conjunction is only half of the two outer planet configurations. If joining NATO prevents the satisfaction of the Pluto-Scorpio (socialistic) component of the Ukraine horoscope, and alienates the Eastern half of the Ukraine political-body it will increase Ukranian East- West antagonism and hurt the popularity of the president. Better to forgo NATO membership like other EU members have. All the factors in the broad stellium involving the Uranus and Neptune conjunction, Ascendant, North Lunar Node, the asteroid Juno are in Capricorn leading one to speculate that a fundamental desire of the East Ukraine Euromaidan revolutionaries is the desire to compete and rule in the halls of power in Ukraine or the EU. One clue about what would make an attractive presidential candidate may be the sign of Saturn j1°[31' and the Moon s22°[24' the two planets are the next to be transited by Pluto in 2025 and 2039 respectively. Aquarius is the best sign for politicians because they are least likely to be seen as partisan and more likely to be seen as a friend. So Capricorn may want to rule but he/she first has to get elected. Volodymyr Zelensky the current president has some of that Aquarian joviality with Venus conjunct the Sun in 5° Aquarius aspecting Jupiter in 27° Gemini near the ascendant. The aspect to the Ascendant-Jupiter is one noted for fun, play and entertainment. He makes people laugh and they make him president. For the long term the strategy the collective mind proposed to neutralize East-West hemispheric antagonism, and the appearance of partisanship. In the astrological glyph system all chosen births share the same placement of the North and South Lunar Nodes. The North Node is placed at 0°u with the South Lunar Node automatically opposite at 0q° which is considered the primary relationship axis among individuals, groups or more abstract concepts like countries or midpoints of East-West hemispheres. That line-up of the Lunar Nodes with the Aries-Libra axis comes around every 18 years 9.3 days, called the Soros Lunar Node cycle . See page 18. Make your baby then and practice celibacy the rest of the time.

U.S.A. The United States falls under the Pisces section of the astro-geographic overlay. Their flag has a upper field of stars against a blue background perhaps symbolizing heaven, Pisces, and the large number of extraordanary individuals that the land normally produces in all fields. The Piscean stage of soul development induces a psychology of completion, the ideal, or the finished product. The stars symbolize our best, whether as movie stars, sports heroes, or prize winning research scientist. That corner of the flag is surrounded by the the orderly red and white stripes symbolizing the alternating liberal/conservative pattern of their democracy, proposed here. The astro- geographic overlay theory suggest that the reincarnational development highway (zodiac) mirrors soul flow direction and development stage caused first by geography, which sets continental species demographics and general progression stage of the souls passing through those species, with Pisces being the last stage of soul development, associated with the NW quadrant of the overlay. The problem with the USA is not their Piscean exceptionalism, but their (end of the line) position as last leader of Western Imperialism.

The anchor of the conservative pattern is Pluto’s position in Capricorn in the 2nd house, indicating the monetarization of power in the hands of the upper class. That Pluto position is the economic base planet of the consevative-imperialist pattern. Normally in the natural zodiac, Pluto rules Scorpio from the 8th house where natural resources (land and minerals) of the state are the presumed foundation of the states economic power and stability, but in the USA horoscope Pluto is in Capricorn in the second house, of personal,family and corporate wealth. Taken to extreme in the capitalist model, what was state collectively-owned wealth becomes private property concentrated in the near exclusive domain of personal, family and corporate wealth accumulation. That the in the

134 Chart10.tif, char10a.tif, char10a_all.tif upper classes. Subsequently that wealth becomes political power in a plutocratically-tilted democratic system. The chronic tendency for plutocratic corruption of the democratic system is the major flaw in the USA chart, because it perpetuates the conservative/imperialist cause regardless of the liberal /conservative cycle. The military-industrial complex always gets funded; 886 billion has been requested for 2019. As the current Pluto transit returns to its 1776 position (exact in 2-2024) the core conservative- group psychology of 1776 is returning. Already by 2010, a conservative supreme court has changed election laws, that increase the power of money in elections, while weakened voting rights protections. Citizens United case, 1-2010 and Voting Rights Act, 6-2013). Furthermore, gun laws have been liberalized to permit military style weapons availability and legal protections for their use. While a similar conservative period during the Great Depression saw liberal democrats voted in and socialistic solutions imposed, the 2024 Pluto return to its natal position is a much stronger aspect, (comjunction versus opposition), and is coming from a more conservative position (2nd house natal Pluto position versus the 1930’s, socialistic, 8th house opposition to its natal position). The reaction to the coming depression, may have more in common with the 1776 period psychology, which in 1776 was violently revolutionary and installed a regime (the current one) that was in part imperialistic. In 2024, the socialistic programs, seen in the 1930’s, that were needed to correct mass unemployment, may again be necessary, and put liberals in power, but that is not assured. The desire of Western Imperialism to persist through this upcoming Pluto return period appears strong and explains the extreme attitudes and actions of the conserative group, encapsulated in the reborn Tea party movement, whose main goals are preserving the plutocratic upper class base and continuing their imperialistic military policy. Mercury is closly bound by aspect to the Conservative pattern, however the planet Mercury d in the horoscope at 24°r is potentially a shared planet by both groups. Mercury is weakly conjunct the large Liberal group stellium of ahf in r, It has a natural affinity with the Liberal group, coming as it does from the 8th socialistic house in Cancer. Removing Plutocratic distortions of elections may allow that association to express more freely. All three of the outer social planets kl; are in the conservative group but not connected by significant aspects to each other, suggesting an absence of social goal. The goal of Western Imperialism is silent and unacknoledged. Keywords like American exceptionalism, freedom, free enterprise, and capitalism glorify the individual or family over collective social goals. Liberated American Women: The USA chart and the liberal group in particular has a large Cancer representation (fhad), connected with a potentially enlightend Moon/Athena conjunction and a politically well connected Venus. There is a genie in the American femine personality that is only now coming into full expression. The virgin goddess Athena in Greek mythology was largely political, as protector of the state through action as a warrior if necessary but usually as a creative diplomat. In addition the Moon – Athena conjunction, sG is precessing into Pisces in the USA chart. The Moon’s entry was in 2014 and Athena’s entry is in 2025.That shift to a Piscean background psychology should increase feminine participation in the political process and produce some perfect candidates. See precession below.

The femine component of the American political body has been increasing slowly since the movement for political rights was first organized in 1848. The right to vote was secured in 1921. Since then their place in the Democratic party organization and congress has increased steadily, now making up 33% of Democrat house members at 62 representatives, while 15 democrat senators (15%) are women. Womens role is also destined to increase in power because of the current World- need to downgrade reproduction in the face of over-population, and resurect the classic sex-neutral femine phenotype, best characterized by the powerful Athena, and her sister conditional-virgin queens. See asteroids pp. 40-45. Overpopulation dictates a social-need to downgrade reproduction, while the majority spirit has a need to manage that downgrade in a way that pacifies antagonistic hemispheric-polarity. It is the astrologically educated women, who will consciously guide that transition, liberating them from sexual determinism in the process. This feminine-orientated complex is being accentuated now by several other factors. The current transit of Neptune through its ruling sign of Pisces, (4-2011 to 1-2026) will stimulate the search for the political ideal just as it did in the previous period (3-1847 to 2-1862) in the run-up to the Civil War and the ending of slavery. The USA Pluto return predicts an economic crisis at home, but in considering what political crisis will be dealt with, one needs to consider the larger process of World political integration (hemispheric-polarity resolution) and the constant threat to the World’s environment by catastrophic Nuclear War. That ongoing problem logically preoccupies the collective-mind and the actions it applies its will to. The collective mind exercises its will very selectively, but seems to have incredible control when it does. That scenario is in agreement with Greek theory of how Jupiter the supreme God, operated to enforce his overall will in achieving his goals when necessary.

Precessional luck? Precession is the backwards movement of the vernal equanox (0°q, first day of spring) and all other Tropical Zodiac coordinates, relative to the siderial (stars) in the visual background of the greater galaxy. The larger universe contains billions of more galaxies, each with billions of stars, but we cannot see them with the naked eye from Earth. The effect of precession- shift on horoscopes (1°per 72 years) is contraversial among astrologers. Most human and political charts are not old enough to study the effect. The USA chart is 238 years old in 2014. The shift now equals 3°18'. Besides the Moon and Athena shifting into Pisces, Pluto is shifting into Aquarius in the USA chart (1°[ in 2024) synchronous with the USA Pluto return to its the natal position of 27°p. The shift seems a potential bonus in the dangerous Pluto return period, in that Aquarius is the lucky- spot of the zodiac where the halves of the collective mind tend to mentally agree, producing apparent luck, increase and synergy in the physical world. It is a far better psychology for peace than the more partisan Capricorn, as Aquarius is by nature a combinatory process, tending to be universal, inclusive, democratic, and progressive. If ever America needed some luck the Pluto return would be that time. Precession shift may indicate a slow change in psychology of the planets involved. The rate of precession shift roughly equals life expectancy at birth in developed nations. The change in group psychology could be the effect of population turnover with precession change reflected in their individual horoscopes and new institutions/inventions they create. Only the sign backgroung changes; the house position and aspects to the other planets remain the same. The Pluto precessional shift into Aquarius is arguably a big change for the better, because of the central role of Pluto in the USA conservative group and the chart in genreal. America has often elected Aquarians, who had broad appeal and likability, durring times of crisis. For example Abraham Lincoln, Franklin Roosevelt, and Ronald Reagan, during the Civil War, Great Depression/WWII, and peaceful ending of the Cold War respectively. The precession switch of Pluto psychology from Capricorn to Aquarius should affects the leadership of the conservative group, in the USA political body. The Aquarian personality, like Jupiter, channels the collective thinking of the group he or she is the leader of, but in the backgroung the Aquarian always has a bias for the global collective/belief. That makes for an ideal leader because they make decisions that deviate the least from the World collective-mind. The Aquarianization of the conservative group, could bring a revolutionary change to conservative American politics, but probably not reach the level necessary to abandon their imperialism. The whole precessional question is a wild card because it is really not a settled issue in mundane astrology theory, even though many astrologers factor it into transit-timing work.

138 Usav.bmp, usav_all.tif, char10d.tif ? The Liberal/Conservative cycle in USA history appears to be regulated by transiting Pluto. Octave Pluto transits alternately seem to change the group psychology of the country to favor the conservative imperialist faction in the body politic or a liberal, domestically orientated and peace orientated group. The liberal (Sun, Venus, Jupiter) stellium is in Cancer, a domestically orientated sign that is in the Libran 7th house. That core stellium is closely tied by octave aspects to Moon/Athena, Saturn and the Midheaven. Saturn and the Midheaven are both in Libra, the peace sign. In contrast, the conservative/ imperialist group is an octave harmonic aspect pattern, with no close conjunctions. The USA was born (July 4, 1776) with Pluto in the 2nd house in Capricorn economically anchoring the conservative imperialist group in the upper class. Because Pluto is the dominant planet in political horoscopes and by transit to positions in horoscopes, it is logical that it can serve here to characterize the USA imperialist group and also time the subsequent alternating Liberal/Conservative cycle. The historical evidence seems to agree with those ideas.

1900 cartoon illustrating Theodore Roosevelt's adage "Speak softly but carry a big stick". The second cartoon is titled "Peace" It appeared in 1905 when his big-stick policy was being widely applauded.

The Spanish American War of 1898 pointed out the need to rapidly move ships from the Atlantic to the Pacific and made an isthmus canal a priority. After 3 study commissions (1897-1901) the U.S. congress approved plans to build the canal. (Spooner Act - June, 1902). When the Columbian government would not cooperate, the U.S. recognized the rebellious state of Panama and built the canal anyway. Much of the planning of the expansionist of this era (Roosevelt above all) was based on the book "The Influence of Sea Power upon History" by Alfred Mahan published in 1890. He compared the Caribbean to the Mediterranean Sea with its Suez Canal and argued for a strong two-ocean navy joined at an isthmus canal. The goal was to establish U.S. hegemony with sea power. By controlling the sea-lanes at the Isthmus of Panama and establishing a string of bases and coal fueling stations in the Pacific and Caribbean. Then America would become the commanding world power on those oceans. The plan succeeded, but the arrival of diesel- powered battleships, greatly reduced the need for coal fueling-stations like Guantanamo.

The severity of the economic depression led to the election of democrats willing to try socialist solutions. Along with their socialist economic policies came anti-imperialist, anti-Nazi policies. The imperialism of this period was also muted by the action of Pluto coming from the 8th house (its natural house rulership) and in opposition to Pluto’s natal position in the 2nd house. That activated a Scorpio/Pluto psychology that facilitated socialist programs at home in the thirties, and alliances with England and Russia (anti-German Imperialist forces).

Total atomic bombs per submarine is 288. The atomic bombs are about 24 times more destructive that the Hiroshima bomb. Four other Ohio class nuclear submarines carry 154 Tomahawk cruise missiles each.

Nuclear bomb delivery systems proliferated in Europe with 180 B61 bombs distributed in Belgium,

Netherlands, Germany, Italy, and Turkey (so-called non -nuclear states), as NATO’s Nuclear-Sharing policy circumvented the Non-Proliferation Treaty rules and spirit. Those rules prohibit the transfer and acceptance, respectively, of direct or indirect control0. over nuclear weapons. B61 nuclear bombs have a variable yield up to 340 kilotons (about 21 Hiroshima bombs) designed for high-speed delivery. American Air Force personnel control on-site nuclear bomb storage. They supervised retrofitting of planes and trained those local air-forces as part of a nuclear-war readiness scheme using formerly non-nuclear air commands. The expansion of NATO into Eastern Europe led by the USA was one of many acts that violated the spirit of informal agreements between Soviet leaders and the H.W. Bush administration when the Warsaw pact was unilaterally dismantled, with the belief that former Soviet nations would not become NATO members. Asmus, (2002) Getting Moscow to agree to German reunification within NATO was considered by all in the West to be a near miracle and among the greatest policy accomplishments of the Bush administrations. Many considered it mission impossible when the Berlin Wall came down in 1990. Below is a much quoted negotiation between USA secretary of State James Baker and President Gorbachev three months later.

146 nevada_seattle.tif, Nevada_all.tif, mute315.tif, van1eptable21p147.tif Baker: “As the two victorious powers over Germany in WWII, the USSR and USA had a legal voice in determining the country’s foreign policy orientation. The president and I have made clear that we seek no unilateral advantage in this process. If we maintain a presence in a Germany that is a part of NATO there would be no extension of NATO’s jurisdiction for forces of NATO one inch to the East. If at the end of the day it is acceptable to everyone, we could have discussion in a two plus four context that might achieve this kind of outcome. Maybe there is a better way to deal with the external consequences of German unification. If there is I am not aware of it.” Baker: “Let’s assume for a moment that unification is going to take place. Assuming that, would you prefer a united Germany outside of NATO that is independent and has no US forces, or would you prefer a united Germany with ties to NATO and assurances that there would be no extension of NATO’s current jurisdiction eastward?” Gorbachev responded that Soviet political leadership would be holding a seminar on the matter shortly and went on to say. Gorbachev: “Certainly any extension of the zone of NATO is unacceptable”. Baker “I agree.” (Asmus 2002) In the mid 1990’s Russia would refer to this and other pledges from NATO allies that were subsequently ignored at every step of NATO’s eastward growth and increase in threat to Russia. It seems clear that NATO, under USA leadership, and European cooperation has morphed into a hybrid Western Imperialism tool, preparing step-by-step for a final war against Russia and the East when the proper occasion arrives. The inability of the liberal Obama administration to substantially change the massive funding or upgrade of preparations for nuclear war, or even acknowledge the problem, indicates the 2024 conservative cycle and Pluto return may be an astrological anchoring transit for a potential final wave of Western Imperialism, with NATO as a essential component in tactical terms. They should realize the majority spirit knows the minority spirits plans and has always won out in the past, after such imperialist waves have spent their effort and sacrifice. The historical odds are not promising and the sacrifice appears existential this time because of the biospheres disruption (nuclear winter).

But the evidence above suggests an abrupt change in political psychology immediately after the last pass of aspecting Pluto to the last planet in the respective groups (Mars in the conservative group and Sun in the liberal group. That shift is strong enough to affect elections. It is easy for the press and public to get blindsided by that astrological change in the USA body politic psychology.

Republic of Venezuela: Both Hugo Chavez and Simon Bolivar were central figures in Venzuela regimes (3rd and 5th Republics) associated with the two conjunctions of Uranus and Neptune in Capricorn in 1821 and 172 years later in 1993. The kl conjunction cycle progresses through the zodiac at the rate of 16°-17° every 172 years.

Uranus-Neptune conjunctions Uranus-Neptune conjunctions and Pluto positions, 1821 blue and 1993 red.

The symbolism of that conjunction proposed here is ultimately associated with the revolution of individual longevity but more generally is associated with all the sciences that support that scientific achievement. On the other hand the Pluto position in Scorpio in 1993 was a strongly-positive socialistic factor of the 1993 Bolevarian Revolutionary movement charts, whereas the Pluto position in Pisces or Aries in 1821, was not, especially after 1822 when Pluto had moved from idealistic Pisces into less receptive Aries. Likewise Uranus and Neptune moved from Sagitttarius into Capricorn making the political environment less receptive to populus, progressive or socialistic ideas adopted in Gran Columbia’s constitution and founding charts. It is probably a mistake to ascribe the socialistic character of the Bolivarian Revolutionary movement of 1993 to Bolivar’s vision of a unified, progressive South America he championed in the 1821 kl-conjunction period. In any event, Chavez’s Bolivarianian

Urne3art.bmp, urne2.bmp , van1eptable25p151.tif Revolution(Gott 2011) is astrologically connected to Bolivars period but with a significant positive socialist component added. Astrology does not drive history. Needs of the evolving, growing, social organism drives history. The psychologies associated with the various planets, signs and aspects determine timing. That happens when significant configurations form among the planets that directly channel the need being resolved by a historical crisis, or necessary change. The outer planet conjunctions and less powerful aspects chang mass psychology, by temporarily exegerating the relativly few arch-concepts described by our relatively simple solar system. Brief history: After the fall of the Spainish monarchy to Napoleonic France, in 1807, the Spanish colonial empire became politically unstable and disintegrated in South America into independent countries over the next 17 years. Most of those countries had the Neptune-Uranus conjunction in Carpicorn or late Sagittarius in their independence charts but did not have a strong socialistic aspect like the Pluto in Scorpio position that was present in the 1993 kl-conjunction period. Bolivar unsucessfully tried to unite South America after the final defeat of the Spainish Royalist forces at the battle of Ayacucho in Peru on December 9, 1824. Bolivar secured the liberation of most of South America but his plan for a progressive United South America was rejected at the Congress of Panama in June, 1826. Subsequently Great Columbia (1819-1830), composed of Venezuela, Columbia, and Equador disintegrated after 10 years into independent states. The United provinces of Central America also disintegrated. The failure of Bolivars crowning political achievment (Gran Columbia) showed that his plans, inspired by the kl-conjunction, and a idealistic populism, shown by Pluto conjunct Saturn in Pisces square to the kl conjunction were too far ahead of the historical conditions of the time. Slavery and endemic raceism were the norm in a landed oligarchy that saw little advantage in political unification or Bolivars progressive ideas, like ending slavery and political integration. The South American regimes subsequently developed into isolated countries with strong oligarchic regimes. The dominant kl conjunction mostly expressed through development of a ruling class of superlative land-owning families that flourished in a relatively undeveloped social environment. The liberation of the remainder of the Spanish Colonial empire in Cuba and Puerto Rico was stopped and the USA began to exert its dominance with exercise of the Monroe Doctrine, which excluded future European intervention in South America and the Caribbean. Small French, Brittish and Dutch colonies remained intact. The tendency of South America to fractionate into isolated States may be related to its geographic location in the astro-geographic overlay that puts it in the starting quadrant of soul development, where the psychology is insular and local in contrast to the opposite quadrant that is social and organized. That psychology derives from the characteristics of the souls developmental pathway and the evolved structure of a bipolar World organism.

A major distinction between the two periods (Bolivars Great Columbia, and Chavez’s Bolivarian Revolution) was the rise of mass populations in the 20th Century that fueled the need for socialistic solutions, championed by Cuba, Bolivarian Venezuela and other socialistic-minded regimes. Another important difference was the maturation of the sciences and technology in the interveneing 172 years that made mass population development doable and acquisition of a modern lifestyle the envy of the masses. Need drives history, and mass populations need socialistic infrastructure support. It was not necessary before the 20th caentury, but by the 21th century it could no longer be repressed, as it had been in the West for ideological reasons that supported capitalism and ultimately Western Imperialism. The Southern quadrants are less social and therefore less driven by the psychology of Western Imperialism but more reactive to individual and family needs. Bolevarian revolution timeline.

The Bolevarian Revolutionary movement led by Hugo Chavez synchronized in time with the Post-Soviet period, but was not sucessful in alligning his institutional victories with the most favorable period, 1989-1993, when all three outer planets were in extraordanary configurations, described in the EU and Russian Day chart. That shows that right from the start there was significant opposition to Chavezes vision of Bolivarianism. Hugo Chaves initially tried to impliment the “Bolevarian Revolutionary Movement” by force but failed as did another coup attempt led by Admiral Gruber, eight months later. The violent Caracazo Revolt in Caracas three years earlier had convinced the coup plotters that the time was ripe for their populist revolutions. Chavez was of course unaware of the astrology of the cyclic return of the kl cojunction or the ideal position of Pluto in Scorpio for socialism, at the time of his coup, but his timing instincts were right. The Caracazo revolt and coup attempts of the years 1989-1993 shared

After the period of failed takeover attempts, 1989-1992 The Bolivarian revolutionary movement was still intact and popular. Chavez was in prison during Gruber’s coup but released in 2-1994. Subsequently extensive academic polling convinced Chavez that a democratic path to socialism was feasable in Venezuala. The Caracazo spontaneous Revolt in Caracas, and the two failed coups by socialistic military groups led seperately by Colonel Chavez and Admiral Gruber, repete the kl conjunction of 1821 (see yellow below) that tie the Bolevarian Revolutionary Movement led by Chavez to Bolivars Great Columbia Union and his vision of a united South America. Chavez came to the conclusion that the Bolivarian movement required democracy as an organizing and legitimizing principle. After being elected as President in December 1998 he systematically held a series of elections and referendum in order to get a new Constitution with the broadest popular support. Seperately he democratically organized and unified many socialist parties into the United Socialist Party of Venezuela (Gott, 2011). Admiral Gruber’s failed Coup d’Etat on Nov. 27, 1992 was similar to Colonel Chavez’s with allied participants. Gruber’s coup chart was also similar to the Caracazo Revolt. The outer Planet aspects show the astrological timing for a socialistic revolution was perfect with ; in mid-Scorpio, but the forceful method of accomplishing it, did not fit the post-cold war situation. Chavez proved himself leader enough to correct the course of the Bolivarian Revolution to include abundant democracy. Hugo Chaves became the first President of the United Socialist Party at the above founding congress. 155

PSUV.tif, unsova.tif , PSUV_all.tif It is an execellent chart for a socialist political party with a well aspected Pluto, strategically located at 1° Capricorn in the sign associated with leadership. The dynamic “mystic rectangle” seen in the “Russia Day” chart is seen here, but not the dramatic outer-planet configurations. A third institution co-founded by Hugo Chavez and Fidel Castro, that may be long-lasting is the ALBA confederation of like-minded socialist-leaning countries. It is a trade treaty designed to take the profit motive out of trade arrangements and substitute mutual development schemes that promote socialistic goals like sustainable local agriculture, health care and education. While small with only ten countries it has been ative, creative and popular since its inception. These are fragile regimes inspired by social needs of growing mass populations, but they are operating under the duress of still-active Western Imperialism that vilifies their motives. The SW quadrant is tough geography to plant nascent socialist regimes at this time.

North-South divide of the Americas It appears that the rise of socialistic movements in the SW quadrant of the astro-geographic overlay in the second half of the 20th century may relate to a natural psychological divide at the ]/q border that over-lays the North America/Latin America border. The difference between developmental maturity in the upper NW quadrant, and developmentally beginning stage of soul development in the SW quadrant is large and may underpin the predudice of American exceptialism.The sign Aries is associated with independence of thought and action and a pioneering spirit that operates well in isolation. The Aries glyph, q suggest a East/ West ambivalence. Aries traditionally rules the head and typically, they like to form their own opinions and chart an independent destiny. Overall, the Western hemispher may be still caught up in Western Imperialism, dependent in part on socialistic repression, but in the SW quadrant, special conditions developed in the 20th century, that permitted isolated movements to express independently in special cases like Cuban communism which got started with the help of Soviet aid and protection, and later in Venezuela, where oil resources supplied a means of financing their socialistic regime. Others sprang from majority populations with unmet needs. The lower half of South America mostly falls under the Taurus sector of the astrogeographic-overlay and the Taurus attitude toward resources is orientated toward individual, family, or corporate wealth in contrast to a collective wealth accumulation favored by the opposite sign, i, so Taurus is a less friendly psychology for generating ;/i socialistic regimes but the increasing needs of their majority populations will probably overide that aversion. The lower hemisphere is inherently more insular, with the family,tribe or clan normaly the

157 World4kdaries.tif, mutens.bmp, world45aries.bmp, World45 aries_all.tif highest level of social organization. In South America and Africa there is little selective pressure to aggregate into hyper-competitive nation states, because they are isolated geographically and psychologically from the highly social Northern hemisphere where E-W selection pressure to aggregate into powerful nations or empires is a natural stage of social development.That passivity in the lower hemisphere was previously changed by unwanted colonialism from Europe and the USA. Currently the USA is the leader of Western Imperialism and enforces its policies with economic and military pressure. Whether the Pisces/Aries (North/South) divide affected the USA’s ability or desire to expand South of continental USA is unknown, but the idelogical aversion of the USA to integrate as equals with Southern countries is a persistant historical phenomena. There were however pre- Civil War groups that wanted to extend USA territory into the central America as slave states, and there were repeated attemps to pressure Spain into selling Cuba. The independent, and pioneering Aries psychology generated in the Caribbean and Norther South America may have supplied the right psychological environment for counter-imperialist, socialistic and communistic movements to florish in the later 20th century as the need for socialist solutions driven by majority populations with unmet needs became insistent. When those needs go unmet or the ;/i psychology is repressed for Western Imperial ideological reasons the ;/i psychology expresses in smaller secreative social units which accounts for much of the gang activity current in Central and South America. According to the Astrology glyph system Pluto/Scorpio psychology is too central to political organization to minimize or mis-characterize it as a dangerous aberation, especially now, at the current stage of mass population social development where the need for cooperation and efficiency is critical for solving global problems like global warming and sustainable development. Capitalism will have to yield dominance to Socialism because Socialism is a better system for a mass populated World with finite resources. A more important question for the World is how to deal with Western Imperialism, which at its core is a East–West spiritual power issue and transcends economics. It is about regime change in the spirit World played out through War. The glyphs deal primarily with that problem and it is a higher priority than the inevitable common-sense decisions about the relative value of socialistic economics versus capitalism in satisfying mass population needs, but socialism is still an important step in social development, similar to abolishing slavery and feudalism in the 19th century.

New Regional and Governor elections in 2017 went heavily for the (PSUV) United Socialist Party of Venezuela, while President Maduro was reelected to another 6 year term in 5-2018. The resulting conflict with the opposition played out in violent protest which the government suppressed.

The best aspects in this horoscope will be activated by transiting Pluto after 2024 which may be a subconscious reason why the Maduro administration refused to dismantle the Bolivarian socialist program. One way to analyize political charts is to see how the regime’s planetary patterns synchronize with or promote the overall Neptune/Pluto development cycle phases shown in red above. It shows how the regime’s goals support the expression of the larger social development cycle, seen as a World wide phenomena growing over time spanning the current 500 yr. development cycle. The halfway point (l180°;, 1-2137 to 9-2141) should produce a substantial prototype of the final result, where initial goals are reached or realities realized. That is similar to the Full Moon phase following the New Moon in the traditionally more simple Lunar phase model of plant or individual development. It appears that a primary goal of the Bolivarian revolution is to perfect a working agricultural communal model by the time of the first Neptune/Pluto square phase in (l90°;, 9-2061 to 5-2065) which is predicted to be a extremely dificult time for rural farming economies due to global warming and lack of support infrastructures in under-developed countries. The Venezuelan Bolivarians are demonstrating the Aries pioneering characteristic needed then by the developing social organism. The Bolivarian Republic led by Chavez came to power as a proponent of democracy, and it is hard to tell when deviation toward autocratic dominant one-party rule will end, but probably not before 2025 when the fortunate stellium in Aquarius begins to be activated by transiting Pluto. The ruling party (PSUV) United Socialist Party of Venezuela is very reluctant to change the Bolivarian 12-1999 constitution, but is also reluctant to dismantle the Bolivarian socialist programs and privatize the countries oil industry. Socialist programs are inherently more bureaucratic, organized and structured for the long term. They do not adjust well to abrupt dismantling. Chavez had a loving horoscope with many planets in Cancer, including hsQd in a tight conjunction on the Cancer Ascendant. There are also many other harmonious aspects (green, blue and gold 6th 9th and 10th harmonic aspects. That is the psychology of the mother and nurturer. He was the perfect leader to design the Bolivarian constitution of 1999 and to decree into existence the many community orientated missions which characterize the Bolivarian plan of socio-economic organization built around communes, cooperatives and even communal cities where the profit motive is dominated by humanistic need fulfillment. Specifically the Bolivarian missions implemented free medical clinics, educational support through university level, subsidized basic food distribution networks, support for small and medium communes and cooperatives, new housing construction for the poor, land re-distribution and support for those willing to work, especially on the rural missions. A priority is a civilian militia designed to defend the regime from all threats. All of that was put in jeopardy by the drop in oil prices and oil production since Hugo Chavez’s death in 2013.

CHINA Mercator projection Satellite view

Both national horoscopes of the Peoples Republic of China (PRC), the Republic of China (ROC) and the composite compatibility-chart are strong in Libra and Scorpio aspects. That emphasis on ui is in agreement with the astro-geographic-overlay, showing the psychological influence of those two signs on the national character and destiny. The Peoples Republic of China star cluster symbol in their flag (see above) also seems to emphasize the Eastern hemisphere in the same astro geographic area. It is centered on u, much like the regime chart’s patterns. Interestingly, a close and well–aspected Moon is on the ascendant in both national horoscopes and the composite chart. Traditionally in astrology, the Moon is associated with the people of the country at large. Here it may show a close emotional relationship between the average citizen and the body politic of these regimes. The intensity of involvement of the general population with political movements can be seen in the massive and bloody Taiping Civil War (1850-1864, also called the Movement of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom of Peace which closely tracks with the discovery of Neptune (1846) and Neptune’s transit of Pisces (1847-62), the sign it rules. See l in] p. 53-54. Tens of millions of combatants and civilians perished in a brutal total-war. It has been characterized as a grass-roots ideological movement of proto-communistic values, and a populous desire to purge the society of foreigners and evilness, however the strange spiritual nature of the leadership’s beliefs (heterodox evangelical Christians) led to leadership infighting, intellectual confusion and disillusionment among the troops. The movement was influenced strongly by the Opium Wars with Great Britain and other Western colonizers (1839-42, 1856- 60). The movement shows the need to understand potentially self-destructive Neptune/Pisces psychology, with astrology, in order to avoid individual and collective disasters. Similarly, the anti-imperialist Boxer Rebellion (1899-1901) and the founding of the Republic of China in October 10, 1911 which ended monarchy in China needs to be considered in light of the great conjunction of l; in 1892 which correlates with the rise of mass populations and socialism, but within the context of Western Imperialism. The Peoples Republic of China chart’s Moon is exactly conjunct the ascendant in Aquarius with Jupiter, the ruler of Aquarius close by. It is

Regardless of the regime chart, China’s location in the astro- geographic overlay and it’s huge population give is a special connection to the dominant fraction of the collective mind associated with the Dragon’s Head and North Node of the Moon. The Peoples Republic of China has the largest legislature in the World, with about 3000 representatives, reflecting in theory, the goal of a government directed by the broadest public participation.

Confucianism became the guiding philosophy of the long series of dynasties that ruled until the 20th century. Libra symbolizes the individual supported by social structure. Libra follows the family quadrant (rty) and the Libra psychology is what a society organized around the family unit needs to prosper; public safety, law and order. The Scorpio sector may have come to the fore in the 20th century in order to maximally counter Western Imperialism, which came on strong for China in the mid 19th century. The timeline of the rise and fall of the Romanov dynasty 1613-1917, and the Qing dynasty in China (1644-1911) roughly parallel each countries crisis in countering invasion by Western powers. Monarchy was discarded and militant Scorpionic regimes installed. The Republic of China (1911) was an attempt at reforms designed to take back control from the West. The chart seems to reflect orientation to the oligarchic upper class, still dominant in 1911.

Numerous close integrated aspect patterns show the union to be beneficial. The Virgo portion of the astro-geographic overlay is associated with childbirth and servile work. It fits well with the densely populated section covering Southern China, most of India, and SE Asia, increasingly becoming the manufacturing center of the World. Virgo is accounted for in these China charts also. The Dragon has long been a symbol of China, with the emperor having exclusive right to wear the dragon symbol. In Western astrology The North node is associated with the Dragons head, while the

In the present interpretation the lunar nodes natural location is on the Aries-Libra axis, with the dragons head in Libra, geographically associated with China in the overlay. That appropriately links the head with the most populous hemisphere. The dragon is symbolic of antagonistic polarity inherent in the collective mind. The oriental dragon seems more mystical and distant than the dangerous Russian version.

The Independence chart ascendant is at the border of Libra/Scorpio, perhaps indicating a narrow focus of the current regime on security and military power. The broad stellium in Leo (gj;s) built around Pluto is indicative of that focus on power. The 7th and 8th houses, which are Libra and Scorpio’s natural house positions are well populated with planets in Taurus and Gemini indicating that the local neighborhood is the realm of its power and extensive relationships that have deep roots in antiquity both Libran and Scorpionic in character. The consolidation of power in pre- imperialist antiquity, before Roman imperialism (-221 BCE) in the Near-East and levant region was very competivive among large states, (Syria, Persia, Babylon) with a similar astro-geographic psychological background as Israel. Israel though small and under-resourced, was like Greece, a competitor disproportionate to its size and population. The state was organized in a Scorpionic manner that marshalled maximum military efficiency out of its homogenous population, unified by its monotheistic religion. When the Jews talk of one God they could be refering to the dominant majority-fraction of the collective mind coming from the more populous East, associated with Pluto/Scorpio psychology which has the most urgent power over and interest in material destiny, coming as it does from the body-half of the collective mind. Perhaps the majority-spirit did foster a special relationship with the Hebrew prophets with the aim to innitiate a state with a concentrated allegiance to its Scorpionic interest, close to the center-point of the E/W divide. That attachment of Israel with the majority- spirit, the demiurge of the East has a astro-geographic basis. Israel had rejected the man-Gods of Egypt and a religion orientated toward the spiritual life of the soul after death, signified in signs (]q) central to the Western half of the Zodiac, and prominate in Phaoronic Egypt (-5036 to -575) outer-planet transit cycles. The Jews unsucessfully, fought to the death against Roman Imperialism, while, larger more distant regimes, (Parthia and Sasanid Persia) also on the Scorpio line, halted Romes imperial ambitions in the East. The connection with Scorpio may explain anti-semitism in the West, and the disproportionate role of Jews in socialist movements in the 20th century. Palestine: Palestine is Israels Gemini-like partner which shares its capitol and land. Upon inspection of the Palestinian Independence proclamation chart we find the partnership of shared goal and dedication to the demiurgic goal of World peace, not unlike Israel. The Palestinians are more like pals or comrads than adversaries if you consider the National chart declared November 15, 1988 or even the Palestine autonomy chart, recognized by Israel on May 4 1994. Together they both box in the time frame of the Post-Soviet and EU formation (1988-1994) which captures the superlative positions of all three outer planets at that time. The Palestinian people demonstrated a sence of timing and psychological affinity for our highest social goals, transhemispheric political unity/peace and individual perfection symbolized by the kl conjunction in Capricorn. That suggest the Palestinians will be execellent partners for Israel, perhaps by promoting an Islamic version The partnership of Scorpio. (shared goal) of the chosen-birth longrvity programe thus reinforcing the goal of trans-hemispheric unity/peace through chosen births. Recruiting the religions in the longevity project of course 169 depends on living examples to lead the way. Recent research in the biology of aging suggest that pathways to long life do indeed exist, the product of genetic adaptation to a very stressful evolutionary environment, over billions of years of struggle. The survival/longevity genes are normally latent but can be activated.

Modern Greece: Before the fall of Byzantium in 1453 CE, Greece had always been fractionated by rough terrain, many islands and distant colonies on both sides of 30°East. In Hellenistic times they had experienced the best of what trans-hemispheric synergy promises. After the fall of that Hellenistic civilization (centered in Alexandria, Egypt) Greece rose again as Christian Byzantium in Constantinople. Its former pantheistic beliefs were suppressed in order to accommodate Roman/Western political dominance, but they were forced by their geographic location at the E/W land bridge at the Bosporus to accommodate Eastern powers. Byzantium Greece’s eastern counterpart which replaced them in 1453 was Ottoman Turkey, which like Byzantium Greece, was a multi-ethnic/multi-national trans-hemispheric state that evolved under pressure of their contentious geographic position, relative to the World social organism. It is important to appreciate the difference between the Anatolian coast-line and the proposed astro-geographic psychological border (1-3 degrees or about 254 km. east of the coastline). That confounding mismatch of psychological and political borders led to perpetual conflict between Greece and Turkey over western Anatolia and still needs to be considered in political calculations between them.

renaissance advent of the glyph system (post-Byzantium) so it should not surprise anyone that kl in Capricorn is exact in the Greek national horoscope in a chart that seems too lofty and ahead of its time in 1821. The chart is for the same time period as the Bolivarian Revolution charts in South America discussed above in Venzuela, but with an added broad configuration built around Pluto, as if to balance the exact kl conjunction with a strong Pluto. That balance between Pro-Eastern and pro-Western configurations is also the focus of the post-Soviet regimes, EU and CIS regime charts and Greece is an EU member. For those reasons the Greeks have been meditating on those core themes longer than other states.

171 new science of aging coming on strong now. Progress may lay in rediscovering the cosmological relationships that underpin the cardinal cross in the Greek flag, and the science behind longevity. The kl conjunction signifies longevity science necessary to generate the long-lived demigod hero of Greek myth or Christian longed-lived savior. When Zeus and Athena reoccupy the Greek mind, new dimensions of Athenian “creative intelligence” will open up. The 1821 Pluto is more problematic. As discussed in the Venezuela section, pp. 154-162 Pluto’s position in Pisces or Aries in 1821 is weak compared to the 1993 position of Pluto in Scorpio, seen in the EU and post-Soviet regime charts. While the Greek Pluto is conjunct important planets (gfKadh) in a broad configuration, the social organizing function of Pluto is inherently unsupported by the potentially anarchic and anti-social (], q) Pisces and Aries sign psychology, and may be a factor in the contentious and polarized political history of modern Greece since 1821, as Greece sorted out the best type of government to have. The large politically-orientated stellium at the Pisces/Aries cusp may represent the socialistic parties, which have little support in the current EU economic environment. There is much synergism between the socialistic Turkey Republic (Oct. 29, 1923) regime founded by Mustafa Kemal Ataturk and the Greek Independence chart, which suggest creative socialistic schemes could be achieved with Turkey. That could be an option if the EU does not accept Turkey as a member, or institute socialistic economic mechanisms that satisfy the inherent Hellenistic need for trans-hemispheric unions which naturally includes a strong Pluto socialistic component. The use of astrology to understand the political relationships in the larger E-W context may be helpful to a Greek intelligencia, historically predisposed to consider cosmologic factors. In the astro-geographic overlay Greece’s present territory is under the Capricorn and Aquarian sectors, but historically it was a trans-hemispheric entity in Hellenistic and Byzantine times. The desire to reestablish that ideal trans-hemispheric condition seems strong in the Greek national consciousness, based on the history of Greece since its Independence Revolution in 1821. The irredentist movements, since independence, to recapture former Greek territory that held large Greek ethnic populations, were known as the Megali Idea (Great idea) or simply Enosis (union), the stages of which track closely with the dissolution of the Ottoman empire. That Ottoman decline increased dramatically over the 19th and early 20th centuries and was finally superseded by the Turkey Republic, which consolidated the Ottoman empire into a single nation which retained a substantial trans-hemispheric geography in Eastern Trace and Western Anatolia. The Greeks were the first of the Ottoman Balkan states to achieve independence, and much territory was acquired as the Ottoman Empire declined in the 19th and early 20th centuries but their “Enosis” dream came to an abrupt and mostly disastrous reversal when Greece occupied Smyrna, a city with over 625,000 ethnic Greeks and invaded mainland Anatolia, fighting against the Turkey National movement, led by Kemal Ataturk. That was a period in which ethnic groups within Turkey’s present borders fought to partition Turkey as parts of their own national domains including Armenians and Greeks. That led to ethnic relocations and massacres by all parties depending on who had the upper hand. In the final treaty of Lausanne (7-1923) 1.5 million ethnic Greeks were relocated West to Greece and .5 million Turks were relocated East to Turkey. In the course of the Ottoman Empires dissolution several million other Turks were also forced to relocate from the Balkans. Greece’s “Megali Idea” became

172 reconciled with the real-politics of the over-arching E-W World struggle. Apparently, Turkey was meant to be. Zeus/Jupiter has his plan but the lesser Gods still must fight it out unless Zeus intervenes, which he only does to preserve his plan. That is especially true in the absence of human “creative intelligence” conferred by astrology, which seeks to interpret the map (Natural Zodiac glyph system) which apparently is the collective minds master plan.

Interestingly, precessional shift of Pluto from Pisces into Aries in the Greek Independence chart correlates with the increase of political aggressiveness and polarization of Greek politics called the national schism or the “Great Division” starting in WWI between Royalist who supported neutrality

173 or passive support of the Central powers (ie. Germany, Austria-Hungary, Bulgaria, Italy, Turkey) and those Greeks who supported Republican democracy and the prime minister, Eleftherios Venizelos who wanted alliance with the Entente powers (i.e. United Kingdom, France, Russia). Initially the split negatively affected domestic unity and foreign political relations in the period 1910-1922, but political divisions and violence increased, peaking in the 1942-1949 civil war. Resolution of differences was achieved only in 1974 with the reestablishment of parliamentary democracy and abolishment of monarchy. From the 1980’s onward socialistic parties became dominant. If the slow precession of Pluto into Aries (0° in 1943, yellow in table) indicates an increasing pro-socialist psychology in the Greek body politic, they will be searching for socialistic solutions and partners as Pluto and its stellium precess through Aries, for the next 2150 years. See (USA precession p. 138). Perhaps that pro-socialistic component will aid in forming and leading future trans-hemispheric unions that Greece joins in the future. The dominance of Aries in this Pluto stellium group and the precession shift into Aries should also give the psychology to act alone if necessary.

REPUBLIC of TURKEY: Ottoman Turkey can be seen as part of the Eastern hemispheres response to European Crusader Imperialism, and along with Imperial Russia, Ottoman military power effectively ended Western Imperialism success by land from the 15th through 19th century. After that the accumulation of renaissance science and subsequent West European industrial/military advantage became decisive on the battlefield. Western Europe was the main center of the Renaissance for reasons like the suppression of religion in the protestant reformation and exaltation of science, publishing and higher education which was absent in Ottoman, Tsarist and Chinese Imperial aristocracies. Astrologically, that historical timeline corresponds with the first great conjunction of l; in e in 1398, and the following kl conjunction in 1478 in the last degree of Scorpio. They are markers for the start of the Renaissance and the ascendance of European science and industry that would gradually trump more primitive Eastern military technology which had previously defeated Western Imperialism. Perhaps Europe was the center of the Renaissance because of a proposed psychological advantage inherent their geographic location. See European Renaissance box below.

The Ottoman Turks faced the same dilemma of resurgent Western Imperialism as did Russia and China, most acutely in the early 20th century after the l; conjunction in Gemini in 1892. They all

175 chose similar socialistic Pluto/Scorpio solutions to deal with it, albeit with great flexibility of expression. “The founding ideology of The Republic of Turkey, sometimes called Kemalism or Ataturkism, instituted by Ataturk was defined by sweeping political, social, cultural and religious reforms designed to separate the new regime from it’s Ottoman predecessor and embrace a Westernized way of living including the establishment of democracy, civil and political equality for women, secularism, state support of the sciences and free education.” The six pillars of Kemalism are: 1. Republicanism (representative constitutional parliamentary democracy) 2. Populism. (Best interest of the general public, common citizens, where the people are sovereign.) 3. Secularism (laicism) 4. Reformism (modernization as a pro-active strategy.) 5. Nationalism, (non-imperial national independence) 6. Statism (modified socialism) The state regulates the country's general economic activities and the state was to engage in areas where private enterprise was not willing to do so, or where private enterprise had proven to be inadequate, or if national interest required it. In the application of the principle of statism, however, the state emerged not only as the principal source of economic activity, but also as the owner of the major industries of the country. That was especially true during the Great depression of the 1930’s. In reality Turkey like the Peoples Republic of China, has constantly adapted flexible economic strategies that were best for the times as determined by the elected government. The Republic of Turkey chart is a very good chart for studying political astrology because the date and time of day is verified and the events celebrated are accepted by the general population as their founding event. It is after all the citizenry that determine a national horoscope as they are the cells of the regime. The Turks have a strong psychological affinity with the West and the EU, rooted in their history,

That may require generation of a long-lived political class with special psychology for harmonious political relationships.

MODERN EGYPT (home of the soul of Ptah) the demiurgic public-worker God associated with Pluto and Scorpio psychology. Egyptian population distribution is about 95% in the NE quadrant of trans- Egypt 30°x30° p overlay map o familial social organization. Ptah was also a part of i the Hellenistic Ptolemaic Kingdom’s patron God, [ Serapis, a composite God. See P. 81. The “Public- ] worker” aspect of the Egyptian Ptolemaic kingdom can be seen in the mutually-beneficial internationality q u of its musaeum and library at Alexandria. It may have been no accident that fate delivered Alexander the w Great’s bones and legacy to the home of the soul of y Ptah, where proposed trans-hemispheric synergy had the greatest chance to manifest. Alexandria, e r t 178

31Nx30E, was also sufficiently isolated from the inter-state rivalry in mainland Greece, so it survived to the very end of the Roman conquest of the Greek kingdoms in 30 BCE. Modern Egypt celebrates Revolution Day on July 23, which commemorates the military takeover of the Egyptian monarchy by the “Free officer’s movement” on July 23, 1952. While constitutionally a presidential democracy, every president has been a General, backed by a privileged military, except for Mohamed Morsi, elected during the recent failed “Arab spring” revolution of 2011. Initially, the program of the Generals was to transform Egypt into a modern democratic socialist state similar to the way Kemal Ataturk attempted in Turkey. Both Egypt and Turkey were limited by the over-riding E-W political situation, competing economic philosophies, and powerful Muslim parties with religious agendas. In Egypt, initially the programs were socialistic and grand in scale. During Gamal Nasser’s presidency (1956-1970) Egypt freed itself from British and French colonialism, nationalized the Suez Canal Company and many industries. Nasser’s administration built large projects like the Aswan dam with Soviet help, and initiated land, education and other reforms designed to transform Egypt’s impoverished and illiterate populations. Much public infrastructure was built. Arab socialism was instituted in Egypt and promoted in many other Arab states emerging from colonial rule. Anti-imperialism and E-W non-alignment were foreign policies. A strong military was a constant priority and used to establish borders with Israel in a long series of short wars and to control the domestic Muslim political opposition, led by the Muslim Brotherhood. After Gamal Nasser followed Anwar Sadat. Sadat made peace with Israel, switched Cold War alliances from the Soviet Union to the United States and liberalized the economy to accommodate prevailing dominant capitalist realities. Sadat was assassinated in 1981 by Islamic extremist and was succeeded by Hosni Mubarak, who ruled for 30 years. He continued Sadat’s economic liberalization, peace with Israel and alliances with the West. Sadat had founded the National Democratic Party in 1978, and there was a semblance of democracy, but the reality of powerful Islamic extremist parties precluded true democracy. The Muslim Brotherhood has been consistently repressed and the “Free officers movement” regime maintained. While liberal capitalism had helped the upper classes, the vast majority of Egypt’s expanding population remained desperate for change. The 2011 “Arab spring” Revolution brought true democracy and the election of Muslim parties led by Mohamed Morsi. A coup d’état led by General Abdel Fattah el-Sisi arrested Morsi and the leadership of the Muslim Brotherhood. A new constitution and new elections were held which elected general el Sisi and effectively reestablished the military dominant regime of 1952, now led by President el-Sisi. The regime of the “Free officers movement” began at the beginning of the long (82 year) 60° aspect stage between Neptune and Pluto, which coincided with the end of colonialism and rise of socialistic and semi-socialistic regimes worldwide, starting shortly after WWII. While the 60° aspect denotes harmonious, steady progress, Western powers bitterly contested many of those emerging regimes, especially during the 1960’s Uranus-Pluto conjunction associated with the American Indo-China war and the height of the Cold War, but overall the core socialistic values of those regimes remain intact even while adapting to the prevailing capitalist model, and real-politic W-E alliances. Like Ataturk in Turkey the ruling military elite in Egypt recognized the necessity of Western technology and scientific

179 education in transforming their country to a modern state. The “free officers movement” regime of 1952 is much attached to that long (82 year) 60° aspect stage (Exact range 1-1950 to 8-2032). The exact 6th harmonic pattern shown here probably symbolizes the military component of the regime which is expressing that progressive stage of the unfolding l; development cycle. (See aspect stages pp. 65) It makes sense that the regime will remain in power at least to the end of the current 60° aspect stage (8-2032). The “free officers” have proved to be free indeed. Each general adapted to the East-West power and economic situation. President el Sisi (elected 2014) was born shortly after the 1952 “Free officers movement” regime took power. His horoscope shares key elements of that regime chart, predicting his policies will serve the core goals of the regime. He has already laid out a grand plan of expanding the Suez canal economic zone and constructing a new capitol East of Cairo in cooperation with China. With a large stellium of planets in Scorpio he well represents the psychology of Egypt’s overlay sign distribution, accounting for his popularity. See chart in supplement 2 at advancedastrology.info. The Egyptians are acutely aware of the historical, geographic and political centrality of their land. They have a sense of destiny that Abdul Fatah El Sisi Nov. 19, 1954 Great Egypt will reestablish its historical heritage some day. The Cairo, Egypt astro-geographic overlay agrees with that eventual destiny for Egypt but the social organism is in the early stages of resolving a 26°i31' (fjGd in i) trans-hemispheric polarity, which is necessary for fulfillment of > Egypt’s astro-geographic destiny. l 26°u54' c H 25°u39' The predominance of population density in the trans-familial social development (N.E.) quadrant in the Egypt overlay diagram shows b n s 19°y39' Egypt is still home of the soul of Ptah.

Other African trans-hemispheric countries. Africa is covered by 6 signs of the Astro-geographic overlay. Mostly the potential of the individual sectors seems latent and undeveloped. In the past Africa has been controlled by environmental factors like food scarcity, harsh climate, predatory species, and parasitic organisms. Tribal organization was insular, while weapon technology was low, thus producing mild inter-tribal aggression. Western Imperialism was largely absent in the lower hemisphere, with the family tribe or clan the highest level of social organization. The trans-familial social pressure to organize into nation states, empire, and trans-hemispheric competitors is absent unless imposed by colonizing Imperialist nations from the North. The trans-hemispheric states shown above seem not to have been much affected by native E-W polarity. The African Union is the highest political organization in Africa. It is idealistic but weak due to lack of funds. That may change rapidly if an efficient

Contrarily, in the South Africa Democratic Constitution chart, the Moon is conjunct Pluto and other factors in Scorpio, while opposing a broad stellium in Taurus perhaps indicating the majority of the people with unmet socialistic needs. That of course is the legacy of several centuries of racial repression, including slavery, segregation, apartheid, and restrictions on education, land ownership, employment, and political rights. While one can imagine proactive affirmative-action by the political intelligencia to remedy these past repressions, a more likely destiny is socialistic changes enacted to relieve future economic depressions affecting the whole country. There are other African and middle-east regimes which share the superlative Post Soviet/EU outer planet positions which unite them as a special group because they were born within the 1988-1994 time-frame.

The African race may have an advantage in doing the longevity trick, due to a genetic predisposition to survive in environments of food scarcity and chronic repression of sexual development schedules, necessitated by the hyper-competitive African environment. The African gene pool escaped the effects of increasing the genes of sexual attraction and relaxing of genes that facilitate delay of sexual development schedules, because of its isolation in the non-imperialistic southern hemisphere. That spatial concentrations of l; conjunctions in the sectors covering much of Africa in the astro- geographical overlay should produce an African centered hyper-development period. The e Gemini stage should emphasize the transformative effect of education at all levels.

185 r The Cancer stage may bring government assisted development of sustainable agriculture communities which reinforce traditional strengths of African social organization. Also we could expect an extraordinary development of long-lived individuals and aristocratic families, especially after a few demonstration models of the longevity phenotype are generated. The United Nations chart is very similar to the Chinese regime charts, showing a similar psychology orientated toward Libra and Scorpio.

THE BIOLOGY OF AGING – Chapter VI A good example of the correlation of the kl conjunctions of 1993 with the current revolution of the biology of aging was the discovery of the lifespan gene mutations that increased lifespan. (Kenyon 1993) There were earlier precursor reports of long-lived mutants along the same genetic pathway, but they did not stimulate the explosion of aging research that started around 1990-93 .(Klass 1983, Friedman 1988) The discovery of the insulin/ IGF-1 (insulin-like growth factor) signaling pathway was the entry point for the discovery of many interacting gene groups that regulate aging through classical signaling pathways. Those genetic pathways are stress and metabolic sensors such as insulin and IGF-1 hormones, TOR (target of rapamycin) kinase, AMP (adenosine mono phosphate) kinase, and sirtuin genes, whose up or down regulation can trigger cell protective mechanisms that extend lifespan. Kinases are phosphate transfer enzymes that alter gene and protein expression. What is presented here could not have been discussed before that time and represents a turning point in how biologist understand aging and its potential control. As Cynthia Kenyon stated in a retrospective article (Kenyon 2011) “In general this was the time of a great paradigm shift in biology, when we all began to realize that organisms from yeast to humans used highly similar molecular mechanisms, albeit with variation, to carry out the fundamental processes of life…. At that time aging was thought to be a hopelessly intractable, even futile problem to study. We just wear out; that’s it…. Not only was aging thought to be merely an entropic passive process, evolutionary biologist had argued forcefully that ageing could not be regulated. For example, they felt the mechanisms for regulating aging would have no way to evolve, as aging takes place after reproduction.” (Kenyon 2011) With that new and rapidly expanding knowledge the glyph symbolism that pertains to extended longevity is becoming more and more believable. Some highlights of that rapidly developing research are discussed below. Besides presenting a new interpretation of the astrology glyphs, the author has been fortunate to have been forced by poor health at an early age, to become an authority in a little-researched metabolic (dietary) method of activating key genes (the sirtuin genes) that are a principle-focus of the current bio-gerontology aging-research. It may be helpful that the interpreter of the glyph system’s biological symbolism also had first-hand knowledge of a particular method that may satisfy the glyph's longevity symbolism that suggest longevity, dependent on repressed reproduction. (See r pp. 14-16, p pp. 26-29, and k p. 48.) In 2010-12 the author presented his personal research and rational for why the tropical tuber cassava, had the correct food-composition for organismal SIRT1 sirtuin-gene activation in mammals.(Golay 2010, 2012) Sirtuin gene activation is believed critical for organismal longevity by many researchers who study sirtuin biology. That method is also summarized below. Primary causes of aging: 1. The Oxidative free-radical damage-theory of aging was the first modern theory (proposed about 1954) to explain aging (Harmon 1981) and remains the most probable cause among researchers. (Balaban 2005) Oxidative free-radical damage increasingly accumulates in cells throughout the lifespan, synchronous with declining repair mechanisms in aging animals. Mitochondria are the main ATP energy producing organelles in cells which consume most of the oxygen used in the body and generate most free radicals, ROS (reactive oxygen species) as a damaging byproduct of the molecular processes in the ETC (electron transport chain) that oxidize

187 carbon metabolites in food to carbon dioxide and water. Mitochondrial oxidative-phosphorylation generates That situation arose during ATP (high-energy) adenosine tri-phosphates. evolution after the earth’s ROS (reactive oxygen species) main sites of ROS atmosphere became generation are at protein complexes I and III.

Life found a way to utilize the oxygen in metabolism that produced I more energy per fuel than 7 Ii anaerobic (non-oxygen) 0. metabolism but had damaging toxic side-effects. Organisms evolved many ways to avoid or reduce oxidative damage, at least long enough to reproduce. Animals have evolved internal anti-oxidant enzymes and metabolic pathways that reduce ROS production, or repair its damage. ROS Abbreviations: ATP adenosine triphosphate, ADP Adenosine damage accumulates in aging diphosphate nucleotide consisting of adenine, ribose and two synchronous with decline in residues of phosphoric acid, NAD nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide, NADH – reduced form with H + ions hydrogen, ROS defenses and repair electron and proton transfer potential. Cyt c - cytochrome c mechanisms, which is the oxidase. main problem according to this theory. 2. Age-linked cellular senescence is associated with the Hayflick-limit of cellular replication. Hayflict and colleagues (circa 1964) found that somatic cells have a finite number of mitotic-doubling times before the ability to replicate slows and finally ceases, typically between 50-70 times in humans. That replicative exhaustion is linked to shortening of telomeres with each passing cell division. Telomeres are specialized capping structures at the ends of linear chromosome strands of DNA sequences. Telomeres are long series of repetitive non-coding DNA sequences that shield the last sequences of coding DNA from strand breaks, inappropriate fusions and mismatched replication sequences that produce mutations. Telomeres preserve DNA integrity and stability. Short telomeres correlate with aging, and accumulation of dysfunctional but living senescent cells, cell death, and diseases like premature aging syndromes and cancer. (Zhao 2014) Telomere shortening promotes these phenotypes in part by inducing apoptosis, cell loss and tissue dysfunction. A critical point of short telomere length is reached where DNA segments near the

188 telomeres are exposed and lost, causing the cell to stop dividing. (Kim 2002) The accumulation of senescent non-functional cells is thought important if autophagy mechanisms for absorbing damaged cells and organelles is seldom activated. (Lee 2008) Non-dividing senescent (old) cells have low SIRT1 expression and are more vulnerable to genomic instability, cancer and dysfunctional organs where they accumulate. SIRT1 protein levels were found to be tied to cell replication exhaustion stage, progressively decreasing as the cell stops replicating.(Sasaki 2006) Using a mouse model researchers found SIRT1 was a positive regulator of telomere length in vivo and prevents telomere shortening in aging mice dependent on the level of SIRT1 expression. Deficiency of SIRT1 produced significant telemere dysfunction.(Palacios 2010) The correlation of telomere shortening with loss of SIRT1 expression in old age was also confirmed in Yeast. (Dang 2009) See figure below for effect of sirtuin deacetylation of histones on gene silencing.

Heterochrmatin – inactive genes.

Histones are core proteins of nucleosomes around which sequenced DNA strands are wrapped. In contrast to most somatic (non-germline) cells, (stem cells, germline cells, most cancer cells, and iPSC’s (induced pluripotent stem cells derived from somatic cells) produce telomerase enzymes that extend telomeres, thus conferring theoretical -immortality on those cells.

Stem cell pools in theory could replace all senescent cells indefinitely but unfortunately they also deteriorate and loose function in aging due to ROS damage accumulation in the supporting niche somatic cells. Somatic cells (non-germline) are more prone to age-related loss of NAD, SIRT1, and consequently, short telomeres. Somatic cells are more aerobic in their metabolism which produce ROS, and lack telomerase elongation enzymes like the stem cells do. As the stem cells supportive

189 micro-environment is degraded, ROS accumulates which affects telomere length, telomerase and the ability to maintain stemness and pluripotency. SIRT1 was found highly expressed in embryonic and other stem cells,(Matsui 2012) but down-regulated in differentiating progeny cells lines. The implication is that maintenance of SIRT1 levels in aging is a necessary factor for optimized cell longevity, through maintenance of telomere length. Until recently it was thought that the problem of non-functioning stem cells in old age was deterioration of the stem cells themselves in conjunction with the local niche cell environment, but hetero-chronic parabiotic experiments, using old and young mice stitched together at their flank-skin, which allows a shared blood circulation, have proven that the problem of non-functioning stem cells in aging is not loss of ability of old stem cells to regenerate needed replacement organ tissue for old mice but rather a gradual change in the composition of the circulating blood environment (most precisely the plasma) as we age. Young blood rejuvenates old stem-cells to function like young stem cells and conversely, old blood/plasma causes young stem cells to function as if they were old.(Conboy 2012) The precise difference between young blood and old blood is a mystery, however one clue may be differences in NAD levels in young and old mammals. NAD is the limiting cofactor in sirtuin gene activation. Without NAD, sirtuin gene expression declines, with loss of support for many downstream longevity/survival genes dependant on sirtuin deacetylation. Sirtuin genes were first described in yeast as Sir2 (silent information regulator) genes that express enzymes that utilize NAD in deacetylation (removal of acetyl residues from lysine amino acid fractions of DNA histone proteins, which allow the histones to wrap the DNA more tightly. DNA expression is regulated by acetylation and de-acetylation. See diagram p. A secondary sirtuin reaction is ADP ribosyl transfer reactions, most notably involved in automatic DNA damage repair of DNA strand breaks by PARP genes. They are secondary in that they are dispensable in high SIRT1 activation states wherein PARP is deacetylated and silenced thus sparing the cell of the high energetic drain on NAD involved in PARP DNA strand repair. The Sirtuins are ancient survival/longevity genes conserved in most life forms, going back at least a billion years to yeast and bacteria.(Guarente 2005) They react mainly to nutrition/energy status to protect the cell/organism when starvation or other stresses threaten survival. Sirtuin activation is largely dependent on the availability of NAD which is necessary for its main enzymatic reactions (deacetylation and ADP ribosyl transfer). Deacetylation allows the sirtuin genes (primarily SIRT1) to silence other genes which repair DNA, upregulate anti-oxidant genes, prevent apoptosis, regulate cell cycle, circadian rhythm and metabolism in ways which make the organism more fit for survival and longevity during periods of environmental stress, most typically food stress. SIRT1 negatively regulates immunity through direct and indirect deacetylation of key activation factors [i.e. NF-kB (nuclear factor of Kappa-B and AP-1 (activator protein one)] for the many components of the various immune cells (i.e. T and B lymphocytes, NK Killer cells, macrophages and their many helper and effector cytotoxic cytokine products which do the actual killing of pathogen viruses, bacteria, and damaged or cancerous cells. Sirtuin genes react to food/energy scarcity, by automatically starting a global deacetylation program designed to preserve the core organism functions until the nutritional conditions for cell growth and reproduction return. Those functions which aided survival fitness were selected-for during evolution, while all dispensable high energy or material consuming

190 functions which are not vital are silenced through Sirtuin deacetylation. The switch back to normal nutrition/energy status which allows pro-growth and reproduction is simply marked by re- acetylation of the same strategic proteins (mainly DNA histones and transcription proteins) targeted by sirtuin gene deacetylation during food/energy emergencies. Sirtuin genes negatively regulate all programs which require unessential energy expenditure or new tissue formation. Examples include new muscle formation, reproductive development, pro-active immunity and PARP dependant DNA repair activity. SIRT1 activation was found to be essential for T-cell tolerance (also called T-cell anergy) (Gao 2012, Zhang 2009, Chen 2015, Kong 2013) which prevents normal immunity from becoming autoimmunity or self-immunity. + NAD , the (oxidized form of Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide) and NADH, the reduced form are crucial cofactors in redox reactions within metabolic pathways of all cells. They act as enzyme co- factors which mediate hydrogen transfer in oxidative or reductive metabolic reactions, for example in glycolysis in the cell cytosol, or the electron transport system in mitochondria, which yields maximum ATP, a co-enzyme, energy carrier. See mitochondria diagram above. Other enzyme processes either generate NAD or consume NAD. The two main NAD-synthesizing pathways in cells are de-novo synthesis of NAD from amino acid Tryptophan and the regeneration of NAD from precursor molecules like NMN (Nicotinamide Mononucleotide), NR (Nicotinamide Riboside), NAMPT (Nicotinamide phosphoribosyltransferase) NA (nicotinic acid), and NIC or NAM (Nicotinamide). The main consuming enzymes are the sirtuin genes, poly-ADP-ribose polymerases (PARPs) involved in DNA strand repair, and CD38 NADase which cleaves NAD into smaller metabolites, Nicotinamide and ADP-ribose, in it’s main enzymatic reactions. Fortunately the reasons for the steady decline of NAD levels as we age, and the consequent decline in sirtuin gene expression has been recently elaborated more precisely. (Camacho –Pereira 2016 , Chini 2016) but altering CD38 NAD consumption has proved elusive. CD38 is a cell-surface trans-membrane ecto-enzyme. It was first discovered on immune cell T- lymphocytes which are generated in the bone marrow, but are matured in the thymus gland, which is located behind the breastbone, between the lungs. T- Lymphocytes remain dormant in the thymus until they are activated and dispatched to specific tissue pathogens. At that time CD 38 proliferates on the surface of these lymphocytes and activates production and direction of cytotoxic cytokines and chemokines (antigens) which effect the inflammatory destruction of the target cells/tissue in the immune response. It is highly expressed in HIV-AIDs progression, blood cancers like lymphoma and leukemia, metabolic and other diseases. It is ubiquitously found in nearly every mammalian tissue and cell compartment, but most typically associated with immune cells, T-, B- and NK Natural Killer lymphocytes. Recent evidence suggest that the function of CD38 and other NAD-degrading cell - surface enzymes is part of a system to salvage valuable molecules like NAD and its metabolites that remain after pathogen destruction by the team of immune cells. That salvage function saves valuable molecules for the non-pathogenic cells.(Malavasi 2010) While the CD38 enzyme has multiple functions, often noted as a potent inducer of calcium release from intra-cellular stores, its calcium function is only 1% of its (NADase, NAD consuming activity. The balance between NAD synthesis and its consumption determines NAD levels (reduced and oxidized

191 forms) measured in the circulating blood/plasma or cells of specific tissues. Importantly it was recently discovered that among the three main consumers of NAD (Sirtuins, PARP, and CD38 ), only CD38 activity increased throughout life-span (2-3 times) and was responsible for most of the aging- related NAD decline. CD38 NADase NAD consumption progressively increases with age. Consequently, total NAD availability for sirtuin deacetylation and ADP-ribolsyl-transfer reactions decrease proportionately as we age. Therefore many critical downstream genes that were supported by sirtuin activation when young are severely affected with increasing old age.(Escande 2013), Chini 2009 Using CD38KO (knock-out) mice reversed the decline in NAD levels at all ages in mice, and reversed the decline in mitochondria function associated with aging and senescence. That rescue of mitochondrial function was mainly dependent on increased NAD, and activation of mitochondrial –sirtuin gene SIRT3 which is one of the three mitochondrial sirtuin genes. SIRT3 up- regulates the major mitochondrial anti-oxidants MnSOD (manganese superoxide dismutase) .( Tao 2010), and GSH, glutathione.( Yu 2012). The CD38 deletion also protected mice on a high-fat diet from obesity and metabolic syndrome (diabetes). CD38 NADase inhibitors. 1. Wild type mice fed pharmacologic inhibitors of CD38 activity, or mice fed high levels of relatively pure natural plant flavonoids, apigenin or quercetin. (Escande2013), 2. Vitamins A and D up-regulates CD 38 expression, so eliminating those vitamins from the diet may also be a temporary strategy to inhibit CD38 expression by inhibiting retinoic acid activation of the CD38 ectoenzyme. (Mehta1997 Longchamp 2018), 3. There are three interferon (IRF-1) response sites in the CD38 regulatory region, indicating interferon as the main if not only cytokine capable of regulating CD38 expression. Low interferon inhibits CD38. 4. The Cassava Diet (discussed below) is a proposed stand-alone metabolic generator of large quantities of NAD and Lactate. Its cyano-carbohydrate metabolism mimics the aerobic glycolysis of the theoretically immortal stem cells and cancer cells which also generate NAD and lactate, but the metabolic pathway used by cassava is not glycolytic but through the pentose phosphate/methylglyoxal shunt (also called the glycolysis bypass) and largely functions non- enzymatically (automatically) under the influence (presence) of cyanide. It is stand-alone in that its reactions are independent of NAD levels. It has potential to temporarily rescue the low-NAD-crisis of non-resolving auto immunity. 5. An indirect mechanism of CD38 inactivation is through inactivation of T-lymphocytes and NK Killer lymphocytes on which they are attached. Studies of cancer tumors employing aerobic-glycolysis metabolism which produced high production of lactate showed the ability of lactate to deactivate T- lymphocytes and NK killer cells which also switch to aerobic-glycolysis metabolism upon activation from the naive or dormant state. The mechanism of killing or deactivation involves a dysfunctional proton gradient in the lactic acid Mono-Carboxylate-Transporter, situated in the cells plasma- membrane. That dysfunction is caused by high concentrations of extracellular lactic acid around the tumor. Consequently these aerobic-glycolysis activated lymphocytes cells get poisoned by their inability to export their own lactic acid and continue aerobic glycolysis. Aerobic-glycolysis requires

192 continuous export of lactate from the cell by monocarboxylate transporters (MTCs) in the cell plasma membrane. The MTCs co-transport lactate and protons from the cell automatically when the differential between extracellular levels of lactic acid are high and intra-cellular levels are low. A very high Lactic acid concentration in the tumor extracellular environment causes these leucocytes to undergo apoptosis but more typically in a high concentration, they undergo lymphocyte reversion to an inactive (immunity-incompetent) state which benefits survival of the tumor by neutralizing these tumor killing immune cells. (Brand -2016, Scott-2016, Fischer-2007) The immunity suppression by tumors of high extracellular lactic acid concentration also involves inhibition of interferon gamma, which suppresses Ul-2 cytokines and CD38 activation. This strategy of utilizing high lactate levels in the extracellular environment can theoretically also apply to the cassava diet where-in the boundary of the extracellular environment becomes the whole body over the course of a 7-day diet, as the cassava food-stream overtakes the large intestine and lactic acid production peaks body-wide. Other strategies to increase NAD: 1. Regular exercise increases NAD, its regeneration and mitochondrial biosynthesis significantly. (Costford 2010, Richter 2009, Salminen 2011) Regular exercise and/or a daily physical work routine, is a sure non- metabolic way to force the somatic body to maintain and increase healthy mitochondria and NAD. Lev Tolstoy’s instincts were right in seeing value in practicing a peasants active lifestyle. See picture. 2. Fasting and calorie restriction dramatically increase NAD and sirtuin expression.(Baur 2014, Guarente 2005) 3. Success by supplementation with pharmaceutical small molecules involved in the NAD generation/regeneration pathways like NR, Nicotinamide Riboside and NMN Nicotinamide mononucleotide have been reported and are increasingly popular, (Imai 2010b, 2014, Yoshino-2011, Hwang (2013 however the vulnerability of these NAD precursors to hyper CD38 consumption in old age has to be dealt with, for this strategy to work in old age as CD38 was found to consume not only NAD but NAD precursors like NR (Nicotinamide Riboside and NMN Nicotinamide mononucleotide. 4. By faithfully adhering to the circadian light/dark sleep cycle one can increase NAD regeneration that occurs at increased efficiency during the six Lev Nikolayevich Tolstoy in the ploughland. by Ilya Repin, 1887 or so hours of sleep after sunset.(Nakahata 2009, Imai 2010a) Inflammation-aging: During aging, adaptive immunity slowly ends; the thymus shrinks and becomes dysfunctional, no longer priming fresh (naive) T-lymphocytes for defensive duty during new pathogen attacks. The other type of immunity called innate, natural or primitive immunity increases

193 during aging and becomes chronic low-level inflammation caused by the increasing immunity activity. Inflammation-aging is a slow but progressive process lasting decades. It manifest as slowly- increasing chronic disease of many types but only becomes acute in old age, when low NAD levels and consequently low Sirtuin activity cause loss of regulatory control of immunity. Starting in adulthood (post-puberty) the decline of NAD+ and sirtuin activation is interactive with the steady adulthood increase in CD38 NADase NAD-consuming activity. The graphic abstract shown below shows the causal inputs that determine the progression of every individuals inflammation-aging syndrome, because activated SIRT1 is the main inhibitor of the cytotoxic inflammatory processes of immunity. (Gao 2012, Zhang 2009, Chen 2015, Kong 2013) When low SIRT1 levels become unable to enforce T-cell tolerance (anergy) the organism becomes vulnerable to chronic auto-immunity, characterized by episodes of hyper T-lymphocyte proliferation and infiltration into damaged tissue by activated memory T-lymphocytes and differentiation of cytotoxic cytokines, especially (IL-2) interlukin-2 which is a key cytokine in recruiting other immune cells (i.e. macrophages) into forming what has been called a cytokine storm wherein multiple areas of antigen stress are attacked as foreign. Memory T-lymphocytes previously activated in earlier life encounters with pathogens can persist in being re-activated, if the tissue involved in the original pathogenic insult still contains damaged, infected or mutated cells/tissue. For example, sun- damaged skin or lung tissue damaged Graphic abstract is from Camacho –Pereira - 2016 with from cigarette smoke, coal dust, permission. © 2016 Elsevier Inc. See in references. tuberculosis or other carcinogens. That contributes greatly to the episodes of hyper auto-immunity. Those episodes can then become chronic which unfortunately makes the downward progression of NAD and SIRT1 regulation much worse, (Panelli 2004, Xia 2016) with resultant increased acuteness of chronic degenerative diseases of old age, like cancer, osteoporosis, arthritis, heart disease, etc. In conclusion the maintenance of regulatory levels of SIRT1 activation throughout life appears necessary for longevity. It is critical for telomere length stability and auto-immunity control. So NAD becomes the must-have biochemical molecule for longevity.(Chini 2016, 2009) The graphic abstract roughly depicts the factors behind the Inflammation-aging syndrome. It roughly serves as a timeline for the NAD/sirtuin crisis in old age and correlates in time with the mean life-span for the population cohort the individual is a member of, adjusted for economic status, education and disease profile.

Evidence that connect reproduction to aging: Among vertebrates there is great diversity in lifespan and life-history events, timed at different rates, but there is a common phenotype across the different species, which is the exponential increase in mortality and the functional decline that characterize aging, only begins after reproductive maturity, whether this occurs at age 13, as in the human, or age 2 months in mice, thus linking the maturation of reproduction to senescence. Semelparity is the rapid death that follows reproduction in many species. It is common in plants, insects, nematodes, rotifers, arachnids, mollusks, lampreys, salmon, eels and other teliost, marsupial rodents, algae, yeast, cnidaria, flatworms, crustacea, and colonial ascidians. The mechanisms of the process are extremely varied, ranging from anatomical deficits in the mouth and gut organs, leading to aphagy (starvation), lack of cell replacement, neuro-endocrine and hormonal triggered changes, finite budding capacity, birth-related sudden maternal death, among others. (Finch 1990) Life-history traits, like reproductive development schedules, age at maturity, and lifespan are associated with one another. Accelerated growth negatively affects longevity and adult-onset of disease pathologies of mammals, but the underlying mechanistic causes are unclear. The evolutionary theory of aging posits that the genome is optimized for reproduction, not post- reproductive survival. The reproductive development program can be described as a genetically determined sequence of cellular and molecular events designed to produce a given adult phenotype most fit for reproduction. The theory holds that the force of natural selection declines after reproduction, so there are few genes that support extended longevity, and may even suffer from antagonistic-pleiotropy which are genes which optimize reproductive fitness but whose continued function are harmful to post- reproduction survival. There may also be species-selection pressure for post-reproduction death, to facilitate the next generation’s resource availability. On the other hand there may have been selection pressure for longevity, driven by the need for time to accumulate memory to aid decisions in dangerous stochastic encounters in the environment. As higher organisms became more social, collective memory of the group and personal intellectual development yielded survival benefits. Knowledge accumulation and intellectual development became the distinguishing characteristic of humans, (species homo sapiens = man + wise). Philosophically, as the true dimensions of our universal environment becomes clearer, the need for individual longevity, which also supports the social organism’s survival in the galactic environment converges with the local biology of earth-centric naturally selected longevity. Intellectually based selection pressure for longevity based on knowledge accumulation is probably an increasing factor in genetic evolution and points to the need for maximizing public education in this long Geministic period (1398 CE -5340 CE) of discovery of the local environment, which arguably includes the local galaxy relative to the greater universe. See l; timeline chart p. 57. Research with the soil nematode worm Caenorhabdites elegans discovered fascinating links between the worm’s reproductive system, metabolism, longevity and size (growth) in that animal. In C. elegans the insulin/IGF (insulin/insulin-like growth factor)/Daf-16 FOXO pathway of nutrition and stress control mainly involves two counter-balancing genes, which are conserved (shared) in worms, flies and mammals. Daf-2 is the nematode’s only insulin/IGF-1 receptor and Daf-16 is the sole ortholog of the mammalian FOXO (Forkhead Box O) family of transcription factors (1,3,4 and 6).( Landis 2010)

195

A negative-longevity signal is produced by Daf-2 insulin/insulin-like growth factor signaling, that represses Daf-16. Daf-2 is necessary for normal growth, development and reproductive development. Mutational repression of Daf-2 insulin signaling allows over-activation of Daf-16 transcription regulation of many downstream survival/longevity genes (about 200). In normal replete nutrition daf-2 represses daf-16, and normal growth, development and normal longevity occur, but in harsh conditions, the Daf-16 gene is up-regulated and Daf-2 is repressed. Daf-16 is over-activated under low-nutrition, harsh environmental conditions, dauer formation, and germline reproductive ablation or stalling.(Angelo 2009, Arantes-Oliviera 2002, Mair 2010) Daf-16 over-activation involves relocation from the cytosol to the nucleus, where it up- regulates downstream survival genes, like anti-oxidant gene SOD-3 [mitochondrial superoxide dismutase](Honda 1999), DNA repair mechanisms, anti-microbial defenses and other pro-survival mechanisms.(McElwee 2003) Sirtuin gene proteins interact with daf- Linking the germline to longevity and growth 16 by deacetylating several Kenyon transcription components, -2011 causing a shift to cell cycle arrest, anti-apoptosis gene expression and increased stress resistance. (Wang 2006, Landis 2010) Effect of germline ablation on size and longevity. C. elegans have two sexes; self –fertilizing female hermaphrodites or males. A male can mate with a hermaphrodite and produce half males and half hermaphrodites, but males are rare, (1/1000). The nematode C elegans are model organisms for longevity study because they develop a transparent body of 959, mostly post-mitotic (non-dividing) cells. The position of the cells is as constant as the cell number. It has a short lifespan (2-3 weeks), and the reproductive system comprises only 4 precursor cells, 2 germline cells in the middle, and 2 smaller somatic precursor cells on either side. Those precursor cells can be ablated (killed) with a laser micro-beam. When the two germline cells are killed at hatching, the somatic gonad develops but without germ cells, which normally develop into oocytes, and sperm. Ablating the somatic gonad kills all four precursor cell lines because the somatic gonad is required for germ

196 cell development. Killing the two germline-cells only, was found to increase lifespan and also increase body size up to twice normal size in some species.(Patel 2002) Some but not all nematode species tested increased longevity, others only increased growth, and some neither one, so these mechanisms are variable among species. The role of these germline signals is thought to be to regulate growth and longevity in response to environmental variation, and to coordinate the rate of aging with the timing of reproduction. The longevity effect of germline ablation normally requires an intact somatic gonad, and Daf-16 over-expression in the intestine, while the effect on growth (gigantism) does not require an intact somatic gonad or daf-16 up-regulation. It only requires germline ablation, with or without a functional somatic gonad. Castration of male animals and humans as juveniles produces the gigantism part of the germline ablation’s effects. Gonadectomized (castrated) juvenile mammals grow unusually large. “Men who have been castrated in childhood frequently grow unusually tall, the so called eunuchoid phenotype shown in antiquity by Chinese and Ottoman court eunuchs, 18th century Italian castrati, and in modern hypogonadal patients. Such men have unusually long limbs caused by failure of long-bone growth plates to fuse in later adolescence. The finding implies that the testis is the source of a signal necessary for bone plate fusion. The signaling molecule is thought to be estrogen because the testis is the major source of serum estrogen and estrogen deficiency in men causes the eunuchoid phenotype, although other unknow systemic signaling molecule are also involved because germline ablation growth is not indefinite.” See (Patel 2002) for references and links. Regarding the longevity-extending aspect of germline ablation, upregulation of daf-16 over- expression in the intestine doesn’t occure until early adulthood, suggesting the somatic gonad signal depends in part on a mature gonad. Surgical germline ablation is analogous to stalled reproduction in the wild, due to low-nutrition. Signals from reproductive tissue upregulate Daf-16 localization to the nucleus, first in the intestine in young adults and secondarily through Daf-16 up-regulation in peripheral organs through tissue-entraimment involving insulin-like gene Ins-7.(Murphy 2007) Daf-16 nuclear relocation and up-regulation does not occur in the testis cells but through lipophilic- hormone signaling to the intestine which accounts for all of the longevity gain caused by germline ablation, which activates a distinct pattern of Daf-16 transcription.(Berman 2006) Interestingly, the fraction of the ablated germline that controls the longevity signal was found to be the proliferating germline stem-cells and not sperm, oocytes or differentiating precursor cells, and the longevity effect does not begin till early adulthood, despite ablation being initiated at hatching.(Arantes-Oliviera 2002) Germline stem-cells in C. Elegans appear to preside over two fundamental processes; reproduction and longevity. Stem cell proliferation and differentiation initiates the germline cascade that results in sperm production and also simultaneously generates steroid-based signals that decrease longevity. Germline precursor cell ablation of (Z2-Z3) silences the longevity-suppressing signal of a active differentiating germline centered on the stem cell, causing increased longevity. In contrast, (non-germline) longevity caused by daf-2 insulin-signaling repression, up-regulates daf- 16 nuclear localization body-wide including gonad tissue, for a stronger global effect on longevity. Daf-2 mutants more than double normal lifespan. If germline ablation is also present, then the increase is more than doubled again. (Kenyon 2010) The phenotype is synergistic, with the animals remaining active much longer than intact (non-ablated) Daf-2 mutants, with some living up to four months. (Hsin 1999)

197

Extreme longevity (about 10-fold) in the C. Elegans has been achieved by mutating PI3K (phosphatidylininositol-3-kinase), a central component in the Daf-2 insulin/IGF-1 pathway that binds to and activates diverse downstream kinases (genes involved with phosphate transfer reactions). In C. Elegans, reproduction and longevity have mutually repressive signaling mechanisms. The PI3K dependent, kinase signaling cascade versus DAF-16/FOXO gene activation which silences the kinase cascade, demonstrates counter-repression between reproduction and longevity pathways. This genetic manipulation is proof of concept that there are regulatory genetic-pathways to extreme longevity, albeit very difficult to manipulate in real-life human dietary conditions. Kinases regulate the construction of the protein body and inhibiting component signaling of that protein building program can regulate longevity. (Ayyadevara 2008, Tazearslan 2009)

THE CASSAVA DIET, a metabolic pathway to reproductive repression and longevity: The cassava diet described below was developed by the author over a period of about 30 years to remedy his health problems (principally schizophrenia). It is proposed to be a temporary generator of a organismal NAD active phenotype, but has not been verified by others yet. He puts it in this discussion because he has confidence in its efficacy to serve as a unique dietary method to rapidly raise NAD levels, and because it may also serve to repress reproductive development, thus satisfying the astrological symbolism pertaining to longevity. Diet changes gene expression by what are called post –translational alterations, or epigenetic (above-genetics) changes to gene components like DNA, histone proteins of nucleosomes in the nucleus and other non-genetic molecules which affect gene expression. Transcription translates the DNA sequence to produce the basic protein product, which is soon modified by post-transcriptional, enzymatic chemical reactions of fuel substrate metabolism that phosphorylate, methylate, acetylate, etcetera, specific amino acid residues of proteins that regulate how the basic gene expresses or is silenced. Differences in calories or composition of the fuel-substrate gives us a dietary means of regulating gene expression, but human diets are so varied in composition that it is virtually impossible to design one that will activate specific genes. The closest proof of concept are dietary restriction of calories, protein, or specific amino acids like methionine (Lee 2016, McCIssac 2016, Brown Borg 2016) or tryptophan (Ooka 1988) that have substantial effects on lifespan, health span, and reproductive schedules. The cassava diet is very low in protein in general (1-2%) and amino acids methione and tryptophan. See cassava amino table at.(Nagib 2007) That composition may give one a symbiotically pre-selected food-composition optimized for SIRT1 activation and low enough in specific nutrition components to stall germline progression.

198

It is argued here that exclusive cyanogenic-carbohydrate is metabolized in the cell in the least aerobic pathway possible, and over a short time on a restricted cassava diet accumulates to an organismal sirtuin active phenotype. The cassava diet in its strongest routine is a (one week long +) mono-food diet that utilizes the cyanogenic- carbohydrate tropical- tuber cassava in several forms, fresh boiled tubers and gari, which is a pure processed dry form of cassava. (see diet protocol at cassava.info) How long one stays on the diet depends largely on one’s body mass, because there is always some demand on adipose tissue fat and protein autophagy- attrition during organismal sirtuin activation, although it is not as severe as a fast because of the substantial nutrition in cassava.

Cyano-carbohydrate Metabolism

Proposed scheme of carbohydrate metabolism in the presence of cyanide. Broken lines represent metabolic pathways activated or increased in utilization by cyanide. The diagram is from Isom et al. (Isom 1975) with permission.

© (Isom 1975)

Exclusive Cyano-carbohydrate metabolism may obligately utilize the methylglyloxal pathway due to its food composition, which is a non-fat, high cyanogenic-glucoside carbohydrate. At 1-2% protein, it is lowest in protein of all the common carbohydrate foods. In the presence of cyanide the cyanogenic-carbohydrate may be non-enzymatically converted to methylglyoxal (a dephosphorylation step, yielding free phosphate (Pi) and dismutated to pyruvate and then to

199 lactate, (Baxter 1969, Isom 1975) which is then put into general blood circulation and taken up in lactate- utilizing cells in brain, heart, muscle, liver, central nervous system and testis.(Bergersen 2006, Hashimoto 2006, Gladden 2004) Pi (free phosphate) and NAD are necessary for the first step of glycolysis from G3P (glyceraldehyde 3 phosphate. TPI (triose phosphate isomerase) decides which pathway of glucose metabolism is taken. In the presence of cyanide and low free phosphates glucose is converted to DHAP (dihydroxyacetone), methylglyoxal and dismutated to Pi, NAD and lactate. In the absence of cyanide or when high phosphates (ie. protein) are present regular glycolysis pathway is automatically selected by the TPI enzyme. It seems likely that the cassava tuber’s food-composition was selectively-evolved symbiotically, to be utilized as a monofood-mechanism to hyper-activate sirtuin genes, in particular the SIRT1 characteristic of the IPA (increased-physical-activity) phenotype.(Chen 2005) Unfortunately maximum therapeutic benefit of the cyano-carbohydrate may be spoiled by dilution of that precise food-composition with richer food components. Fats, protein and non-cyanogenic carbon sources shift metabolism back to regular glycolysis and pyruvate entry into mitochondrial oxidative pathways.

Cyanide’s effect on converting pyruvate to lactate which yields NAD produced a large increase in the NAD/NADH ratio (greater than two-fold in rats supplemented with sub-lethal doses of cyanide. (Baxter 1969,) Another laboratory using mice, reported a 50% reduction in glycolysis and a 100% increase in utilization of the (pentose phosphate pathway) (Isom 1975) The cytoplasmic sirtuin, SIRT2, has been shown to be a positive regulator of the PPP (pentose phosphate pathway). (Wang Y-P 2014, Wu 2014) The PPP generates NAD and NADPH, necessary for regenerating the anti-oxidant Glutathione. NADPH is the main intracellular reductant, involved in 200 reductive biosynthesis of fatty acids, isoprenoids and aromatic amino acids. NADPH’s main function is maintaining cellular redox potential and reductive biosynthesis. The steady high production of NAD would activate all sirtuin genes, especially if the need for NAD in normal glycolysis is curtailed by the metabolic shift to the methylglyoxal and pentose phosphate pathway as reported. On the cassava diet, as the cells of the alimentary canal organs are overtaken by the cyano-carbohydrate food stream, those sirtuin active cells would accumulate and reach a organismal phenotype when the large intestine is cleared of previous carbon sources. Lactate consuming cells would find a steady supply from its export to the circulation.

The cassava generated (organismal) SIRT1 phenotype may involve SIRT1 activation in the large intestine including low energy signaling which activates FOXO (pro- survival genes) in the large intestine, and germline stalling in the gonad.

SIRT1 organismal phenotype: Quiescent-germline signaling from gonad to intestine may further activate FOXO gene expression in the large intestine, and by extension in the peripheral organs via feedback regulation involving ins-7 insulin gene (so-called tissue entrainment) (Murphy 2007) discussed above in nematode worm research. P.196 gonad

Other mono-carboxylates like acetate, and ketone bodies that are normally rejected or inhibited in replete nutrition are utilized in sirtuin activated cells. Sirtuins alter cell metabolic genes, through deacetylation of strategic lycine residues of histones and transcription proteins.(North 2007, Tao 2010, Yu 2012, Finley 2011, Shimazu 2010, Hirschey 2010) Cassava cyanocarbohydrate composition may be unique in the World’s foods due to complex plant/animal symbiocity which targeted sirtuin gene SIRT1 over-expression in one of two symbionts, in a metabolic pathway that leads, over a short time ( about 7 days) not only to a Sirt1 organismal (body-wide) phenotype, but also activates the other known survival/longevity pathways as a consequences of the foods composition and the fact that the food stream reaches the main centers of organismal longevity control (the large intestine as terminal sensor of organismal nutritional state, and the gonad which has its own contributions to organismal survival when reproduction is stalled due to low nutrition signaling. The special aerobic-glycolysis metabolism of potentially immortal stem cells and in induced somatic or cancer cells, point to the correctness of the cassava plants food composition. In theory the cassava diet gives one a doable method to chronically arrest spermiation progression and activate somatic-body survival mechanisms conferred by organismal sirtuin/FOXO activation. Perhaps by starting a serial cassava-diet program at the top of one’s physiological (reproductive) fitness at puberty, one could insure maximum body-mass that can support longer time-frames that 201 the person can maintain a healthy cassava-diet routine on. Ideally one would master the diet early in life, at puberty and maintain a serial routine into extended old age. The object is to preserve the organisms stem-cell capacity for self-renewal, with minimum differentiation into germline sperm production, or ovary exhaustion in the female.

By dietarily repressing reproduction in the germline and by extension, minimizing all somatic-body stem-cell pool activity captured by the organismal sirtuin phenotype, then maximum physiological youngness may be preserved.

Shared function Symbiont-enabled vegetative-reproduction from stem nodes

The cassava diet may borrow a powerful deacetylation strategy that the cassava plant and a pair of prehistoric symbionts evolved (naturally selected by circumstantial need), over several million years of a close three-part symbiotic relationship. The need for speed in a spatially contiguous area (the sunny side of the forest edge and out-beyond from there) may have naturally selected the best food composition for sirtuin gene activation in one of the two symbionts, the pampatheres giant armadillo. Producing the SIRT1-dependent (IPA) Increased Physical Activity phenotype, may have conferred a survival advantage by making the pampatheres hyper-active, relative to the slow-moving giant ground sloth, that often competed for the same plant but at different food parts on the plant and at different stages of the plants maturity. The high-protein (6-7%) leaves supported maximal growth for the giant ground sloth, while the low-protein cyanogenic-tuber carbohydrate selected for pampatheres hyper-activity during the rooting season. At plant maturity (9-12 months) foliage decreases, but tubers mature and often become exposed around the base of the stalk, signaling the stage when the now-active rooting pampatheres would dig up and eat the mature roots, which simultaneously scatters the stem nodes on the brittle stalk over a wider area for the next cycle of vegetative reproduction. That is the time when there was most selection pressure for differential speed for the pampatheres. It took several million years, over a huge expanse of environment in tropical South and Central America for this SIRT1 selection process to produce the ideal food composition that fulfills the molecular requirements for SIRT1 activation in that particular mammal. The stable-anchor of this proposed triadic-symbiosity was provided by the powerful, slow-moving giant ground sloth, while the development of a (SIRT1-dependant IPA phenotype) producing food was the result a secondary symbiont partner that increased the plants range but also increased the giant ground-sloths food-security in doing so. The morphological-plasticity and molecular flexibility of the animals and plant parts in this relationship is perhaps the most complex proposed for any large-mammal symbiosity, which flourished before the mega-faunal extinctions of 10,000 BCE, and has no match in extant symbiotic plant/mammal relationships, and probably in all Earth evolution. Selection pressure for SIRT1 dependant increased physical activity, inadvertently secures the other deacetylation-dependant sirtuin genes, SIRT1,2,3,6 and 7 (Canto 2012) which makes it a very special food for humans because it may provide the only naturally-selected food-route to organismal (body-wide) sirtuin-activation. The tubers nutrient composition may have been naturally-selected to sustain an organismal SIRT1 dependant (IPA) Increased Physical Activity phenotype, in order to hyper-activate a vegetative reproduction routine with the Pampatheres armadillo, in close proximity to the slow- moving but powerful giant ground sloth, which was the primary symbiont. ( Golay 2012) Personal history: The author first started experimenting with cassava diets while working in construction, in South America in 1981-83. He had been experimenting with diets and foods for about 5 years to control schizophrenia which had plagued him since 1976 when he was hospitalized for it. Upon returning to work he found diet and food composition could modestly affect the disease. While working in

203

Suriname, South America he began experimenting with tropical foods and found the most popular carbohydrate among the Amerindians and others groups was cassava. It had a profound effect against schizophrenia when eaten exclusively for 1-7 days, to the point of being asymptomatic and seemingly panacean against other diseases as well. For instance the diet was effective in controlling a duodenal ulcer but not eradicate the cause. The bacteria Helicobacter pylori was discovered as the main cause of stomach ulcers in 1982, but it took a decade or more for that knowledge to work its way into clinical practice as a cure of the disease with antibiotics. He was using a strict cassava diet to control the H. Pylori infection for those 10 years. The diet would stop the ulcer from bleeding and become asymptomatic on the diet but was not strong enough to completely kill the root bacterial colony. If he went off the diet for 4-5 days the ulcer would return with blood and acid in the stomach. In response, he would vomit the stomach contents and start the diet. The bleeding and acid would stop right away and the stomach would be normal within a few days. It taught him the bacteriostatic value of the food. While that bactericidal characteristic may have more to do with free cyanide in the food’s composition, than with sirtuin gene activation, the experience motivated his study of cyanogenic-carbohydrate metabolism, which is at the core of cassava’s unique food composition. The science of how it might work only became comprehensible with the scientific discoveries in bio-gerontology aging-research, which really took off around the time of the 1993 kl conjunction, and is ongoing. The author had 3 years of college majoring in journalism and psychology. He is a certified professional astrologer with the International Society for Astrological Research.

In conclusion Astrology needs to be mastered in order to understand and peacefully resolve Western Imperialism. Due to the existential danger of that threat, it is no longer enough for politicians or citizens to analyze political relations only in real -politic terms. Life is more complicated than that and now we have the tools, the collective - mind designed for that purpose, so that we and the deity (collective -mind) are of one mind and goal. We are now in the period of time equivalent to the ( Incunabula) cradle period of information reorganization that followed the invention of the printing press about 1450 when science and astrology were forcefully reorganized by that invention. It was the start of the Renaissance. See incunabula p.90. The computer and internet are having a similar effect on information and knowledge organization now including political and biological understanding of astrology symbolism. It is our luck to have such tools, and hopefully that will quicken the pace of resolution of what threatens us.
