The science behind astrology
For thousands of years, up until the 17th century, astrology was considered a science and was studied academically the way prominent branches of science are studied today.
But for the past 400 years, astrology has been dismissed by the scientific community.
Since it can’t be proven that the planets and celestial bodies can have an impact on our personalities, our lives and our world events, scientists have labeled astrologists as charlatans, con artists and wackos over the years.
As I kid, I would have agreed with this assessment. But the more I study quantum physics, the more I believe that astrology is a legitimate branch of science.
The very concept of astrology is supported by quantum physics.
Quantum physics is the study of matter broken down into its most basic form – atoms – which are mostly comprised of energy. Scientists are baffled by quantum physics because atoms don’t behave the way matter behaves.
As discussed in an earlier post, quantum entanglement is when atoms become linked and influence each other even when they are separated by a large distance. There is no logical way for scientists to explain how this happens.
From the quantum entanglement phenomenon, we can infer that energy influences energy.
Human beings have energetic fields and so do planets. So it makes sense that planets, with their massive energic fields, can influence the much smaller energetic fields of human beings.
The zodiac calendar was created by ancient Babylonians. They divided the sky into 12 sections that were named based on the biggest constellation contained within that section. Each zodiac sign (Virgo, Libra, Aries, etc.) is a constellation in the sky.
When planets move through constellations, which happens regularly and is known as “transits” in astrology, it impacts their energetic fields which then impacts our energetic fields here on earth.
Some transits are very significant. In fact, we are going through a major one right now, with a Saturn and Neptune transit in Aries.
In July 2025, the Saturn–Neptune conjunction will be at zero degrees of Aries, which is the first sign of the Zodiac. This will mark the beginning of a new era and a new way of life.
In our existing era, money rules everything. This is why people who have immense wealth have been able to live above the law. I have witnessed this as a fundamental truth for a large part of my life – that people with money and power are not held to the same standards as the rest of us.
But that is changing. I can feel it and perhaps you are feeling it too.
In this new era, which will be influenced by other transits as well (like Pluto in Aquarius), knowledge will be valued more than money. A person will be respected not for how much money they have but rather, for how much knowledge they have.
There will also be a breakdown of our systems where currently, power rests with a central authority (i.e., big banks; federal government). This will make way for systems where power becomes decentralized (i.e., digital assets on a blockchain network; community governments).
It will take many years for these changes to take effect but, as indicated by what we are experiencing here in the US, it is already underway.
