I had a consultation with a new client the other day, who had had a severe problem with recurring bladder infections, continuously —non-stop— over the past five years. As soon as she would finish taking antibiotics and the symptoms cleared up, the bladder infection, would return. Miraculously however, over the past few months, she was astonished to observe that her bladder infection had not returned. It had vanished. It was gone!

"A 9/56 year cycle has been established in patterns of US & Western European economic history since the mid 18th century (Funk, 1932; Financial Crises & The Number 56). Financial crises tend to take place every 56 years in sequences, which in turn are inter connected in sub-cycles in multiples of 9 years. Major financial crises fall with statistical significance in these patterns, a finding which contradicts prevailing economic orthodoxy.

"A 9/56 year cycle has been established in trends of US and Western European financial crises since 1760 (Funk, 1932; McMinn, 1997). Clearly many major financial crises are precipitated by some mechanism, as they tend to occur preferentially in patterns of the 9/56 year cycle and not as random events. Numerous cosmic factors were examined for some link with the timing of financial crises. Sunspots and traditional astrology were the initial areas favoured for assessment but no significance could be realised.

"In 2007 for almost the entire year we will be under the influence of the Jupiter-Uranus square aspect. In order to fully understand the influence and the importance of this aspect I think that we should analyze the entire Jupiter-Saturn cycle. This year square if the last square of the cycle before the beginning of a new cycle in 2010 which will mark also the ending of the current cycle started on 16 February 1997 at 2:13am GMT time."

"In the usual kind of geocentric astrology no distinction is made between the two kinds of conjunction of Mercury and the Sun, except that at "inferior" conjunction Mercury is retrograde, while at "superior" conjunction Mercury is direct. In heliocentric astrology the situation is quite different, because an inferior geocentric conjunction of Mercury and the Sun means that the Earth is conjunct Mercury, while a superior geocentric conjunction indicates that the Earth is in opposition to Mercury.

"The Western astrological system is based upon the issuing of light or rays by each planet. Light equals life and the more light a planet (or other celestial body) shows the greater its life force or vital spirit, or in more modern terms, the greater its energy. The nature, or virtue, of each planet is carried on its light or rays which it transmits to other planets; this notion of transmission of light is central to the astrological scheme and explains the principle of aspecting.

"In 2005 and 2006 we are in a major lunar standstill season. For several years now some of my astrological camping colleagues and I have been trying to establish what lunar standstills are and when they occur. There is usually no reference to them in most standard astronomy books. Some reference is made to them by authors who have written about ancient megalithic sites such as Callanish on the Isle of Lewis off the west coast of Scotland.

"The light bulb changed everything!! It turned the night into day and emitted into the atmosphere so much light pollution that the visibility of night sky is noticeable diminished, even in remote areas. The most drastic effect has been to sever human connection with the night and the night sky, which until the light bulb was integral, important, and inseparable from the human condition.

"An older name for the Earth's pristine satellite is LUNA: The moon goddess of prehistoric LEGEND.
The goddess has been a strong influence in the mythos of all antiquarian cultures springing up in the fertile soil of our planet. Such cultures unanimously recognized The PROFOUND EMOTIONAL EFFECT that phases of the moon exert upon human beings , just as it affects sprouting beans, menstruation, and the ocean's tides, etc., lunar phases routinely AFFECT the MANIC-DEPRESSIVE SWINGS of the MENTALLY UNSTABLE."

"The Moon is an excellent starting point in learning the astrology of timing because it provides us with directly noticeable situations and atmospheres which we can experience and use as living evidence and material: it is an initiator into the secrets of time because it moves fast. It trains our sensitivities and clues us into some of the isnesses to which a living astrology alludes.
