How Astrologers Contributed to the Info Age

If you appreciate the use of Astrology as a tool, a language, and a system of analysis that brings an element to any consideration which no other system provides: Time!–then the intrguing news that astrologers contributed beneficially to the Information Age is no large surprise.

But if that fellow reading this post from over your shoulder is unaware of the astro-info symbiosis, perhaps he’ll click the Astrology News Service link and check it out!

And if this reluctant astrologer had had anything to do with it personally, I’d say, You’re welcome

Astrology on the EU and Euro’s future

What a find! I have to share with you a link to astrologer Roy Gillett’s article on What Are the Prospects for the Euro?

You don’t have to speak Astrologese in order to read it either. But perhaps you’re wondering what Astrology has to say about the European debt crisis and how things may proceed: then I direct you to Mr. Gillett, who says, “Whatever is done through the last part of 2011 is unlikely to be enough.”

Most of the economists I’ve read are agreeing with that unsentimental sentiment. Check out Italian PM Silvio Berlusconi’s ridiculous facial expression here–what a pout on a grown man!–and tell me if you think the deals done so far by European leaders will ease EU/euro problems or only exacerbate them.

Astrology of OWS Call to Action! NYC Oct 15, 2011

“A Youth Holding a Lighted Candle” is the Sabian Symbol for Mercury, planet of youth, communication, trade and commerce, today as the Occupy Wall Street movement rallies in Times Square at 5:00 pm edt, a Call to Action.

Until 10:14 am edt today, the Moon is in late degrees of money sign Taurus, with Sun in Libra. Then it’s a Sun Libra/Moon in Gemini day for the now-global movement to protest Wall Street banking greed and corruption.

So! Today’s upper class, business-oriented, Air-Earth Sun Libra/Moon Taurus combo soon morphs into an Airy, communicative Sun Libra/Moon Gemini combination bringing events more of a diplomatic, conciliatory, and neighborly vibe of natural teachers seeking justice!

First, here are the Sun Lib/Moon Taurus’s ‘Images for Integration’, one of which seems more applicable to OWS:

“A lecture on ancient Greek architecture and town planning…Newlyweds go on a gourmet tour of Italy for their honeymoon.” (How about ‘Greek’ debt? jc)

After 10:14 am edt, Sun Libra/Moon Gemini tells a different yet apt tale…

“Birds circle in perfect formation on the breeze of a bright autumn day…Having delivered a fair judgment, the chairman of a conciliation and arbitration board chats amiably with the previously opposing factions.”

(Sun Sign-Moon Sign, Charles and Suzi Harvey.)

The ‘birds’ may be surveillance satellites, of course, and the rest seems to describe the 99% movement’s Assemblies for making group decisions, imho.

For more astro-notes on today’s Occupy Wall Street Call to Action in Times Square–a protest movement now spreading across the globe!–please click the above link where a YOD pattern and ‘a youth’ turn up together in the same post, and President Obama enjoys a Lunar Return just as the 5:00 pm rally begins!

Pentagon financial accounts shadier than expected

Turns out if you want a country bombed to Kingdom Come, call the Pentagon. If you wish to extend your power base into the world, call the Pentagon. If you have your eye on some resources that don’t belong to you, call you-know-who.

And if you want death-dealing drones that can be hacked, call our Death Star, the Pentagon.

But if you want to know where outrageous amounts of our money went, Do Not Call the Pentagon.

Howard Zinn on Income Equality in US

Income Inequality and the Solar Eclipses of 1911 Repeated in 2001

by Jude Cowell (coh’ wul)

The New Millennium psychopathic crowd attempts to return us to social conditions of 1911, as perhaps you’ve noticed.

“The rule of law does not do away with the unequal distribution of wealth and power, but reinforces that inequality with the authority of law. It allocates wealth and poverty in such calculated and indirect ways as to leave the victim bewildered.”

- activist and author Howard Zinn (1922–2010)

Read more… because it’s Labor Day 2011 Weekend and US workers are under attack from wolfish predatory forces.

And speaking of income inequality and such economic topics of a plutocracy persuasion, here’s a shout-out to 100 years ago, the year 1911, when the Carnegie Trust Company of New York was closed by banking authorities.

Actually, 1911 was a watershed year of transformation for Standard Oil and other monopoly break-ups, plus, it’s the first year that sales of gasoline outsold kerosene in the US.

Here are a few basic details on the Solar Eclipses of 1911–the 3 North Saros Series, and 3 South–which both repeated in 2001. Paraphrasing Bernadette Brady’s Predictive Astrology:

3N: ‘main theme is either worrying news involving young people or news that transforms a situation; obsession; large plans are undertaken which can be positive yet one shouldn’t get carried away’.

3N is the Pre-Natal Eclipse Series of the attacks of 9/11/01, the CIA, Harry Potter author J. K. Rowling, and John Quincy Adams.

3S: ‘sudden endings; traumatic transformation through news received or journeys taken’.

3S is the Pre-Natal Eclipse Series of the Republic of China, occultist Aleister Crowley, Anton LaVey (Poppy Bush’s pal who formed the Church of Satan), and Hollywood’s Brad Pitt.
