Our "airplane" (the "West") is nosediving - but we think we are flying fine!


Throughout history, the empires seem to be ever shifting from East to the West! Starting with what we consider the oldest known empires, the Mesopotamian and Egyptian ones, the "world hegemony" was consequently taken over by the Hellenistic Empire, by the Roman Empire, by the Frankish one and - later on - by the Spanish and the English empires! Then, the center of power shifted further westwards and USA became the strongest world empire! And apparently the time has come for the "world hegemony" to shift even further westwards, to China! 

Such discussions are often held on the internet. But most of us are treating them as if they concerned some distant future event. Few people realize that this "changing of hegemony" process is happening right now, right in front of our own eyes! 

I believe that we Westerners (Europeans + Americans) are somehow out of touch with the current cataclysmic events that are taking place all over the planet! We have been ruling the world for so long that we have become complacent and arrogant. But the current war in Ukraine has dramatically overturned many things that we were taking for granted, till now! 

First of all, we are having a distorted perception of reality! Our western media are telling us that the entire planet is hating the Russians, because they invaded Ukraine. The reality is that the two thirds of the world population are pro-Russian (courtesy of the USA interventions and invasions in very many countries, all over the planet). Our western media are telling us that the Russian economy has been hit hard and the Russian Ruble is now worthless. In reality (as you can see in the diagram below) the Russian Ruble is almost stronger now that it used to be before the war in Ukraine! 



Actually, what has been hit hard is the economy of Europe! The prices of basic goods have skyrocketed in the previously prosperous Europe and the inflation is rampant! The prices of the basic goods have risen as well in the USA. This is probably the first tangible sign that USA is getting weaker in the world scene! It is still a military super power but its economy leaves much to be desired! In February 2022 USA's national debt topped 30 trillion - for the first time ever in the history of this great country! With such a humongous debt the USA economy is currently on the verge of collapse! 

You might argue that USA has been having a huge debt for decades now and apparently has handled it fine, so far! Things have drastically changed though! You see, the US dollar has been the world's reserve currency ever since 1944 - with the "Bretton Woods" agreement. With that agreement the US Dollar acquired a unique international status - and the US economy some amazing privileges! But that era seems to be ending now, as more and more countries are buying and selling goods not anymore with US Dollars but with other currencies (such as the chinese Yuan and the Russian Ruble). The US Dollar is rapidly losing its status as the "word's reserve currency"! That's not good! 

You see, the USA financial mechanisms were facing so far the spectre of the huge national debt by issuing more banknotes, by printing that is more dollars! And as long as the US Dollar was the "world's reserve currency" they could get away with it! Till the day that is that the US Dollar would start losing its much privileged international status! And apparently that day has arrived! 

One of the first signs of a "debilitated" currency is the so called "domestic inflation". Since the US Dollar is getting weaker, you will need more of it to buy the same things you used to buy in the past at a lower price. You need i.e. more dollars now to fill the gas tank of your car - in comparison to just a few months ago! As the US Dollar and the Euro will be getting weaker the prices in our western countries will keep rising! 

But we are apparently oblivious of all this! That's definitely the result of the current Jupiter - Neptune mega - conjunction in Pisces! It is as if we are living in a permanent fog and the only thing we can discern is some shadowy figures and actions taking place all around us! Not to mention that the aforementioned mega-conjunction in Pisces is somehow announcing to us - with fireworks - that the world we used to know is closing now its cycle and is arriving to its end!

The 500 years mega-resonance planetary cycle (and the irrevocable degradation of Europe)!

"Europe" by Justus van Egmont

I was watching the other day a video of a brilliant Greek geopolitical analyst (Constantine Grivas) who was positing that the current war in Ukraine is signalling - among other things - the definite ending of the 500 years European dominance over the world! Plus, it is signalling the irrevocable transformation of Europe into a "vassal continent", on the periphery of the new geopolitical protagonists of the world!

Of course, him saying that "we are witnessing the ending of a 500 years cycle" struck an astrological chord in me! You see, a 500 years period is quite significant, astrologically speaking. Every 500 years (approx.) a Neptune / Pluto conjunction is taking place on the earthy skies. A conjunction that is considered a major player in Mundane Astrology! We might not have currently a Neptune / Pluto conjunction on our skies - nor we had 500 years ago - but the relation of Pluto to Neptune (their "phase") is today exactly the same as it was 500 years ago: Neptune in Pisces and Pluto in Capricorn, forming an over-stretched "waxing" Sextile among them. This means that we are somehow experiencing now - on a collective and on a "transcendental" level - a kind of "zeitgeist" that is similar to the one that humanity experienced 500 years ago (I will expand on this a little further on)!

The significance, though, of this 500 years planetary cycle does not end there. There is much more to it than that! Because ultimately, this 500 years period coincides with a mega "resonance" planetary cycle! Let me show you what I mean.

To start with the most exterior planet, Pluto, this little (but ultra-powerful) fella is completing an orbit around the Sun every 248 years (247,94 to be precise). Thus, in a period of 500 years Pluto has completed 2 orbits around the Sun (not precisely but pretty close to it)! Meaning that if we know in what sign Pluto is at a certain year we can easily find in what sign it was 500 years prior to that year. In most cases, Pluto would be in the same sign - or otherwise in an adjacent one.

I have already pointed out in another article the Uranus - Neptune 168 years (approx.) "resonance". Let's see now whether or not these two planets "resonate" to the 500 years period, as well. Planet Neptune is completing an orbit around the Sun every 165 years (164,81 to be precise). If we divide now 500 by 165 we get a number that is astonishingly close to the number 3! This can be very useful to us, because if we know in what sign Neptune is at a certain year we can easily find out in what sign Neptune was 500 years prior to that year (most probably in the very same sign - or otherwise in an adjacent one).

Moving on to Uranus, this eccentric planet is completing an orbit around the Sun every 84 years (84,02 to be precise). If we divide now 500 by 84 we get a number that is quite close to the number 6! Thus, in a period of 500 years Uranus has completed six orbits around the Sun! Meaning that by knowing in what sign Uranus is at a certain year we can deduce that most probably it was in the very same sign 500 years prior to that year - or otherwise in an adjacent one.

Let's see now if this works with Saturn, as well. The planet of the rings is completing an orbit around the Sun every 29 years (29,46 to be precise). If we divide now 500 by 29 we get a number that is pretty close to the number 17! Thus, in a period of 500 years Saturn has completed seventeen orbits around the Sun! Therefore, if we know in what sign Saturn is at a certain year we can find in what sign it was 500 years prior to that year: most probably in the very same sign - or in an adjacent one.

Do you see my point here? 500 years ago the planets Saturn, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto might have been in the very same signs they are now! Saturn in Aquarius, Uranus in Taurus, Neptune in Pisces and Pluto in Capricorn! "These things don't happen" you might say. Well, they actually do! Because in 1522 indeed all of the outer planets, from Saturn to Pluto, were in the same zodiacal signs that they are now!

What are the chances of such a coincidence? Not very many, I would say. You see, If we start going back in time in 500-year increments (1000, 1500, 2000, 3000 years etc.), the "harmonic resonance" of the 500-year rule will begin to break down. (as the planets Pluto, Neptune, Uranus and Saturn will start shifting into ever more adjacent signs. In an oddly symmetrical manner though: when Saturn and Uranus shift (in tandem!) to the previous sign then Neptune and Pluto shift (again in tandem!) to the following sign, and vice versa.Thus, this "mega-resonance" is mostly "in tune" within the 500 hundred years range before or after a given year. Even then, however, there might still be some "cacophonies", having i.e. a planet in the sign that is adjacent to the anticipated one.

Yet there is something extremely intriguing happening here. I researched the last 7000 years (using the "Solar Fire 9" astrology program) and discovered that the planets that concern us (Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto) have been in the same zodiacal positions that they occupy today (simultaneously) only once: around the year 1522 CE! Never before, never after that period! So, there must be something quite unique and special that is connecting us with the year 1522 CE. What would it be?

Half a millennium ago cataclysmic events were taking place almost all over the globe, events instigated by the major European powers of the time, which were vying to conquer and colonize as many foreign lands as possible! The great protagonists of that era were the Spaniards, who actually were the first Europeans to conquer and colonize a transcontinental empire (the Aztec one)! On August 13, 1521 the relatively small Cortes army finally overpowered the significantly more numerous Aztecs and militarily captured Tenochtitlan (today's Mexico city). That was a monumental event, that occurred while Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto were in the very same signs they are now! Hence, when Cortes was named governor of "New Spain" in 1522, that event marked the beginning of the European powers' centuries-long rule over practically the entire world!

Fast forward 500 years and that astonishing European preponderance seems to have irrevocably faded, with Europe being reduced now to a helpless bystander in the deadly USA-Russia-China mega-clash over the world's new domination!
