The Average Astrologer is Not an Historian

 

One of the most remarkable aspects of my rectification of the Age of Aquarius commencing in the fifteenth century is that it was not derived from historians. Yet when one turns to the historians themselves, one discovers that they have repeatedly identified the fifteenth century as one of the great turning points in world history.  The only comparable century was exactly one age earlier.  Centuries that contain the beginning of a new age stand out from the rest.

 

This convergence of opinion is striking because the historians approach the period from entirely different disciplines and theoretical frameworks. Some write as cultural historians, others as political historians, economic historians, sociologists, or historians of civilization. Some are openly hostile toward astrology. Yet they repeatedly arrive at the same conclusion: around the fifteenth century, something fundamentally new entered history.

 

The period from approximately 1400 to 1500 AD is frequently described…

Looking for Access to Astro Databank

Hello everyone, I am doing a personal project right now. I am exploring a correlation of certain astrological aspects with the level of fame. I have already done a study on a sample of 100 charts, and my hypothesis was proven, I got a p-value of 0.00053.


Which is excellent.


I would like to continue my research on a larger group of people, at least 10,000, and with fame levels calculated independently. For that reason I am using MIT's Pantheon Project, where they have calculated (using various metrics) who most famous people in history are.


Right now, I am searching all the astrological data for each individual by hand. It takes a lot of time. I can find approximately 100 people in one hour. To get to 10,000, it will take me 100 hours.


I would like to have access to Astro Databank, but because of the advent of AI,…

Placing astrology in the educational system

Hello, I would like to know if there is a country internationally where astrology is legally considered a profession? In Hungary, other educational activities fall under the NSZFH. Which means that there is no system of professional requirements. And there are no quality standards either. We also have a law called a "curious law" that expressly prohibits astrology from touching mental health or its topics. This is quite difficult, isn't it, since an astrologer deals with the client mentally. So I would like to know if there is an international system of requirements and a professional chamber, a professional interest group that gives an educational qualification accepted by the state and the legal system to an astrologer? I ask because I would like to create one here in Hungary. That's why you see these mathematical, biological, and psychological posts from me that are tied to a very tight biological cycle.…

As far as I know, there is no international state-recognized system for astrology comparable to licensed mental health professions. Most standards come from private professional organizations, not governments. I support clearer education, ethics, and scope-of-practice rules, but it is my own personal opinion that astrology should remain legally distinct from mental health diagnosis or treatment unless the astrologer is also licensed in that field.
