Is history repeating itself? Discover how Saturn's critical transit through Aries, occurring from May 2025 to April 2028, might foreshadow major shifts in global power, conflict, and the economy. This deep dive uses astrology not as fortune-telling, but as a unique lens for pattern recognition in world events, focusing specifically on the intense US-China relationship and its potential trajectory during this astrologically significant period.

Explore the powerful, often tense astrological energy of Saturn in Aries – where structure meets impulse, and discipline clashes with fiery action. We journey through history, examining key periods when Saturn transited Aries (from the French Revolution to the late 1990s) and uncovering recurring themes:

this isn't new. the courts of europe and asia have utilized astrology for thousands of years. i wouldn't be caught dead serving an emperor that doesn't define all state policy on the basis of jupiter, the planet.

I think it's a new level of simulacrum, at least for my youtube feed of various Guys.

1st level - our perception/representation of space objects

2nd level - those ancient global astrological traditions where they have some real sociocultural function for a specific group, but the functions and logic differ group to group

3rd level - new age western astrology that mashes all of those together into semantic algebra while still pretending it's sacred in some meaningful religious way

4th - stripping any pretense of sacredness away from that to make it a geopolitics youtube gimmick alongside AI images of crystals and vaguely mythological/scifi things, distilled nonsense slop.

Maybe there's a whole community of it that I only just now poisoned my algorithm enough to see, but this is the first Scary China Picture Video I've seen which mashes up these specific things in an internally-coherent way. Every other Geopolitics Guy on my youtube feed who wants to differentiate himself just wears a suit in their bedroom. This is like the first time I saw Qanon, within a few days of it appearing on reddit, and thought it was neat that so many toxic trends were converging into one thing meant to hypnotise a stupid person.

Yet this bozo's calculations are gonna be all off because he didn't use Chinese astrology

Literally more scientific than orthodox neoliberal economics.

Give them a couple more decades of burning the world down and maybe they'll develop pattern recognition too.

Sometimes i wonder how far western anti intellectualism will go. They have deindustrialized already. So will they just keep going until they are mostly illiterate and non-technological too?

[–] MizuTama@hexbear.net 15 points 1 day ago

Return to a mixed-model capitalist-feudal system and read Mao to the ~~rednecks~~ American peasants

[–] woodenghost@hexbear.net 9 points 1 day ago

Mostly illiterate is practically true already for the U.S. with most adults reading skills worse than those of sixth graders.

So much is psychological. Generations told how special they are and that they would change the world. The esoteric became low hanging fruit.

it's just an indoeuropean thing

europe is almost the exact same thing as north india, except it lucked out by having half its population die and finding a planet of free resources in 1492. Subtract that and it's the same as north india, the same fracturing, the same recipient of invasion due to inequal distribution, etc.

If you want to know "how low the west will go" the answer is Bihar and Uttar Pradesh

Fuck. I have to show my ass, I guess.

Mind you, this is only a hobby, I don't believe in it, but I have seen some interesting coincidences associated with planetary positions in history.

Saturn in Aries is only part of the story. At the end of May, both Saturn and Neptune will be conjunct in Aries, at like 1° Aries. The last time Neptune was in Aries, the US had just began the civil war the day before on 12 April 1861. Neptune appeared there on 13 April. Now I'm not saying the US will break up, things now aren't exactly the same as they were then. But it is odd how tensions in the US are high and how divided this country is now like back then as well.

With Saturn conjunct Neptune, this aspect happens every 36 years, give or take. Now this planetary observation could tickle Hexbear's fancy. If we count back 36 years from 2025 we get 1989 - the year the Berlin wall fell, marking the start of the end of the USSR. 36 years before that was 1953, the year Stalin died. And 36 years before that, 1917 - the year of the two Russian revolutions.

Going back further, it's not exactly year for year but it's in the "ballpark". So another 36 years back is 1881. Marx died in 1882. 36 years before that is 1845. The year Neptune was discovered was in 1846 and in 1848, The Communist Manifesto is published. Anything prior to that, correlations break down and kind of become meaningless. But then astrology is usually meaningless.

You can't base what will happen on planets in the sky. Planets don't control us. But like I said it's interesting how these events have correlated to planetary positions. Can I tell you what's coming next? Fuck no. Not based on astrology anyway. None of those astrologers can. Even if I could know, I wouldn't tell any of you anyway - who knows what I would fuck up.

Anyway, fun post to come across. I'm going back to lurking.

I caused the clover go down. It's real. If you know you know
Hylics and deductive dumbos won't get it. I am not saying this out of hubris, I am thankful to the infinite unknowable God for everything I have been given and I pray that no further harm comes unto me nor any of my kin or friends or acquaintances

Yup. Should have known this would happen.
