2. Timing Factors of Influence of the Comet Hale-Bopp

The time points listed below were detected as critical for HB's transits. Conventional astrological data (including conjunctions with Fixed Stars) could be obtained by using the presented time data.

T1. December 21, 1996, GMT 14:06. The Sun enters HB's origination area.
T2. January 3, 1997, GMT 10:00. The Sun passes HB at perihelion of Earth.
T3. March 3, 1997, GMT 18:46. HB passes Sun. Starting of HB's activity.
T4. March 20, 1997, GMT 13:35. HB is at perigee and culminates at the Sun's meridian while the Sun enters Aries.
T5. March 24, 1997. GMT 4:45. Moon eclipse. HB culminates at meridian of Saturn which is in parallel with the Sun.
T6. July 4, 1997, GMT 18:40. On New Moon, while the earth is at aphelion, the Sun passes HB at Sirius and for the last time.
T7. September 16, 1997, GMT 18:51. Lunar eclipse near the eclipse of point T5.
T8. March 13, 1998, GMT 4:34. Lunar eclipse near the eclipse of point T5.

Astrological analysis of these time-points allows the supposition that T1 defines the pre-history, T2-T5 - the basic properties of HB (aspects, etc.), and T6-T8 - the after-effects of the comet's influences, namely: the influence of the comet HB grows in time-points T1-T3, where it could be regarded as gathering forces by repeating the same aspects. Its force reaches culmination at the key points T4,T5 where almost all factors being associated with this comet are working in conjunction. Should the comet HB actually present itself at T4,T5, we can assume that the respective after-effects would take place at T6 and be continued by T7 and T8 (though in a less degree), as it was in 1996 with the Comet Hyakutake whose transits highly resemble those of HB, namely: the forecasted*1 air crashes as well as social and political uncertainties that took place (e.g. in Russia) at its culmination were actually continued for a year by eclipses. Hence, the apotheosis of HB's action is to be expected at points T4,T5. The former of them might be regarded as energetic inhale or a threshold of the effects to be developed at the latter one. Therefore the analysis hereinafter mentioned is devoted to time-points T4 and T5.
