Dear Friends
Many want to know where I situate astrology in human science, and how. I feel astrology is the original earth science. Every other science emanates from it. Below I have made you an entry link to study societal movements and astrological comments - juxtaposed to one another, as an entry level discussion. Many essays & articles - some by myself together with some by great sages - are collected here and the page expands.
Now what we will witness as earthlings will be the final conflict between truth versus secrecy, an illusory but awakening dance between Uranus and Neptune. Secrecy is the death of society. A critical time marker in this matter is the Jupiter-Pluto conjunction - due next up on 12/12/2007, in my opinion the time (3 years still) to get prepared for. Nero burned down the place on a Jupiter-Pluto conjunction... and after that it was downhill for the empire...
On the other hand there was also a Jupiter-Pluto conjunction like the one coming up soon when the founding fathers of the USA were still very young men, hatching the ideas that later led to 1776 and the inspired writings aka the Bill of Rights, or call that the Bill of Restrictions - that which the Government is NOT allowed to do to infringe upon the rights of the individual human being.
Here for instance the end of an essay about the Fall of Rome:
"In the end, there was no money left to pay the army, build forts or ships, or protect the frontier. The barbarian invasions, which were the final blow to the Roman state in the fifth century, were simply the culmination of three centuries of deterioration in the fiscal capacity of the state to defend itself. Indeed, many Romans welcomed the barbarians as saviors from the onerous tax burden.
Although the fall of Rome appears as a cataclysmic event in history, for the bulk of Roman citizens it had little impact on their way of life. As Henri Pirenne (1939: 33-62) has pointed out, once the invaders effectively had displaced the Roman government they settled into governing themselves. At this point, they no longer had any incentive to pillage, but rather sought to provide peace and stability in the areas they controlled. After all, the wealthier their subjects the greater their taxpaying capacity.
In conclusion, the fall of Rome was fundamentally due to economic deterioration resulting from excessive taxation, inflation, and over-regulation. Higher and higher taxes failed to raise additional revenues because wealthier taxpayers could evade such taxes while the middle class--and its taxpaying capacity--were exterminated. Although the final demise of the Roman Empire in the West (its Eastern half continued on as the Byzantine Empire) was an event of great historical importance, for most Romans it was a relief."
