I always love it when a current event adds weight to historic research. Real-time verification of political ritual astrology brings a little joy to the soul. Take, for instance, the spectacle of that "Peace Summit" on October 13 in the Egyptian resort town of Sharm el-Sheikh. As my readers and other hidden history buffs know, October 13 is a noteworthy date in history, when in 1307 AD that the Knights Templar began being rounded up in France by orders of…

In Chapter 13, parts 5 and 6, I noted that much of Gaurico's calculations weren't always accurate. At least one of his contemporaries, Girolamo Cardano, said as much in public. It could be that Gaurico was simply not very interested in doing rigorous mathematical calculations, or it could be that he had . His charts for Byzantium, however, are examples of either laziness, carelessness, or are downright fraudulent.

In Part One, we saw how the RAS Royal Charter was astrologically linked to both the discovery of Uranus and the first business meeting of the pre-royally honored club. Now it is time to look at the royal charter "supplementals". The supplemental of 1915 specifically allowed women in the club. ...that it would increase the usefulness of the said Society if women could be elected Fellows and Associates thereof, and that it is apprehended by the said Society that women may not now be eligible to be elected Fellows and Associates thereof...

In light of the first-ever member of the fairer sex being appointed Archbishop of Canterbury, it should be noted that the Royal Astronomical Society has been allowing female memberships1 since 1915. And while I'm sure that members of the RAS would love to bonk me on the noggin with an optical tube for saying this, it's obvious that the…

2025 is the 80th anniversary of the many events that both ended the Second World War and commenced international organizations seeking peace. The Axis powers surrendered, the age of nuclear weaponry began, and both the Arab League and the UN came into being. For the UN, the final approval needed was from the Soviet Union. We have a good source for the time-of-day that the official signature was appended to the paperwork that the USSR submitted.

September 23 was the 93rd anniversary of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, which is now the 19th most wealthy nation on the planet. September 23 in 1932 was the date of the fall equinox, which makes the radix for the KSA interesting for astrologers. For a cogent and brief history of the KSA relevant to astrologers, the best place to start is always Nicholas Campion's…

Here are the numbers...

In Chapter 13.5, I hopefully demonstrated that the foundation stone of the new St. Peter's Basilica was placed using ritual astrology and the exaltations, with an eye on the (believed-to-be) foundation chart for Rome itself. Nothing should seem too surprising about all of that. The hero in this bit of papal history, Julius II, perhaps the fiercest pope of the Second Millennium, was also blamed, perhaps rightly so, for the ultimate schism of the Reformation, and thus one of the world's major axial power shifts of all time.

We can't discuss the popes and astrology without delving into Pope Julius II and his grandiose plan to rebuild St. Peter's Basilica. History tells us that the moment for the laying of the primary foundation stone on April 18 of 1506 was chosen ahead of time with electional astrology - meaning that a future moment for the activity was chosen well beforehand by an astrologer.
