MAGNETO-ASTROLOGY

"... frequencies in Earth’s magnetosphere that are close to the tidal frequencies of the planets Venus, Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn will remain in step with those planets. You wíll have one magnetic frequency associated with Mars, another with Jupiter, and so on..... magneto-biology, a vast body of knowledge that links planetary alignments with magnetic events on the Sun and the biological consequences of fluctuations in Earth’s magnetic field. That’s what actually gave me the idea that there is a mechanism, magneto tidal resonance, which can not only explain the Sun’s magnetism, but also why specific fluctuations in Earth’s magnetosphere can get phase-locked with the tidal effects of the planets.

Research in magneto-biology shows that a wide variety of organisms respond to changes in Earth’s magnetic field.[14] For
instance, Professor Franck Brown of North-western University, who has done much work in this area, showed how mud-snails and turtles followed the lunar daily magnetic variation even when these creatures were removed from the sea and lodged inside laboratory tanks.[15] The experiments of Dr. Robin Baker of Manchester University suggest that humans are also sensitive to changes in Earth’s magnetic field.[16] Baker first placed people inside a darkened room and asked them to locate North. Most of the time people got it right. But when Baker then fitted these same subjects with a little magnetic skullcap, they lost their ability to find North. This strongly suggests the presence of an internal compass or biological clock.

What I think might be happening is that the foetus’s neural network acts as a sort of antenna that tunes into fluctuations in Earth’s magnetic field. The imprinting of the neural antennae depends on genetic heredity, which gives us our basic congenital personality. Thus, the foetus is genetically predisposed to hear specific planetary signals, much as a radio is resonantly tuned to receive a particular station. So it’s not that the planets make the person. Rather, the planets label a person’s genetic predisposition to respond to specific magnetic signals."

"...Imagine the sun’s magnetic field “ it is more then A magnetic field ” and each planet following the cycle in the spin of the sun’s magnetic field and the planet in turn with its field keeps the moon ” and visa versa” and on a larger scale, the central sun or black-w-hole doing the same to all the stars, planets and moons. In that way they are all interconnected so the combinations of stars that make up the 48 signs including The 12 zodiac signs do have their influence. Related to a personal imprint at the time of birth “ and some time before” because we too are based on the same principles and laws of this great field / structure, all interacting, but remember this is just a simplified example ."

How Earth is Frequency Phase Modulated by Stars, Planets
http://www.viewzone.com/schuman.html

Altering and Stressing the Phases
Probably the only force that alters the phases of Earth's Fundamental Resonant Frequency and related harmonic frequencies are stressful positions of the Sun, Moon and planets or an orb ejected from Jupiter or Saturn. Alterations or stresses on the phases of the Schumann Resonance by lunar and planetary influences probably are at least a precipitator to, or at the most a cause for, tectonic plates to slip or shift causing earthquakes.

Two traditionally trained Indian scientists publicly and accurately predicted the time, date, longitude/latitude and magnitude of the devastating Indonesian earthquake and tsunami four days before the deadly event occurred. They constructed their prediction by observing the position of the Sun and Moon at the precise times and dates of previous earthquakes greater than a 7.5 magnitude.

This author hypothesizes the phases of the Schumann Resonance were stressed or altered by the Moon (5 degrees Cancer) being in direct opposition to the Sun (5 degrees Capricorn) on December 26, 2004. On March 27, 1964, the Sun was at 7 degrees Aries and the Moon was at 7 degrees Libra and a massive earthquake shook Alaska. During both the Indonesian and Alaskan earthquakes the Sun was exactly 180 degrees opposite of the Moon on a circle while both the Sun and Moon were in what is known as Cardinal signs.

In other words, if you draw a straight line through the middle of the Earth, the Sun was on one side of the globe and the Moon was exactly on the opposite side of our planet. However this straight line of opposition does not flow directly through two sides of the equator or both poles of the Earth. By astute observation and comparison of the angles of the critical Sun/ Moon opposition line as related to the equator and the poles of the Earth, the Indian scientists precisely located the area where and the time when the phases of the Schumann Resonance would be weakened enough to allow tectonic plates to shift. However, the Indian scientists had no awareness of phases for the Schumann Resonance in their research but their earthquake prognostications by observing and calculating the angles of the Sun/Moon opposition through the Earth are astounding. Many people feel they deserve global accolades for their efforts, discoveries and sterling accomplishments.

The prediction by the Indian scientists was about 28 minutes off in predicting when the earthquake would occur. They were correct in calculating the exact time of the opposition of the Sun and Moon but they did not realize the stress caused by these positions would take about 30 minutes to build on and alter the phases of the Schumann Resonance that caused or contributed to the tectonic plates to slip at an exact location on Earth's harmonic grid.

Rhythms of Nature Awareness & Prevention

By creating a dynamic and evolving harmonic grid model of the Earth's phases of the Fundamental Resonant Frequency in conjunction with the transiting positions of the Sun, Moon and planets in the solar system, could predicting earthquakes transition into an exact and precise science? There is one drawback, however. Scientists can measure the frequency of the Schumann Resonance but they cannot accurately determine the phases or amplitudes with any kind of present day instruments.

Until instruments are created that can measure at least the phases, humans will have to observe mathematical or three-dimensional hypothetical models of the phases of Earth's Fundamental Resonant Frequency. When those instruments are operational, this author predicts the scientists will discover 144 phases in each hemisphere of Earth and Mars, 36 to 72 phases in each hemisphere of Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune, and nine to 18 phases in each hemisphere of the Sun. By way of contrast, however, this author predicts the planets Mercury, Venus, Pluto and all the moons orbiting the planets in the solar system will have one spherical harmonic grid (not two hemispheres) with 72 or 96 phases.

The Power of Seven

Why does nature use a division and multiples of 18? A hemisphere of a planet or a molecule is not constructed in numerical sequence because to do so would create a weak structure. Maximum strength of a dome or molecule is attained when the links are spread out over the hemisphere or molecule. The most efficient manner of creating strong links in a dome or molecule is to use the number 18 because the special number of seven provides a means of distributing the links.

Figure 4 [left] has a circle with 18 lines with 20 degrees between each line. A line is drawn from the starting point to a point seven lines or 140 degrees away. As the multiple seven lines or 140 degree sequence is continued around the circle, the line drawn from the 18th or last point connects with the starting point. The alpha (beginning) and omega (end) points of an 18 point circle or a multiple of an 18 point circle using a multiple seven sequence are the same (Figure 5).

When applied to harmonics, the points on the circle represent the phase of the frequency and the circle itself represents the amplitude of the frequency. Obviously, a planet or molecule utilizes more than just one amplitude but for consistency in construction, again, the number seven provides the most strength. Seven circles of 144 lines with a space of 2.5 degrees between each line have the same alpha and omega point when using the multiple seven sequences. Again the seven circles represent seven redundant amplitudes that a planet like Earth uses to construct a harmonic grid.

A line is drawn for the starting point to the next circle and seven lines or every 17.5 degrees (7x2.5 degrees). Figure 6 does not include all 144 lines but only depicts every seventh line where the working line crosses the intersection point of the circle and the structure line. The line from the 144th point to the next point is the starting point and the alpha and omega points are the same and provide strength yet flexibility (Figure 7). On the Earth the distance between the circles is thousands of miles. When instruments are made that can detect the phases of the Schumann Resonance, the author predicts the grid pattern will be similar to a three dimensional version of Figure 7 that is top view of the grid.

Where the starting or Alpha point is located and if the lines or amplitudes are to the left or the right of the Alpha point, are the two determining factors to the spin orientation of the hemisphere. Therefore planets with two hemispheric harmonic grids can have numerous kinds of spin orientations that manifest in countless characteristics and functions. However, the number of spin orientations for the planets are finite. Is the harmonic spin orientation of Uranus so unique that Uranus is the only planet that shifts the north and south poles directly towards the Sun during the full revolution around the Sun?

We invite readers to join the author and other researchers to observe nature and the cosmos. The discussions will be related to how other common occurrences or phenomenon are results of manipulating or harnessing Earth's Fundamental Resonant Frequency of 7.5 Hertz with 144 phases and amplitudes and the various resonant frequencies, phases and amplitudes of the chemical elements, planets and suns in our galaxy.

ASTRONOMERS EMBARASSED BY RCA OBSERVATIONS CONFIRMING ASTROLOGY!

In the 1940’s, the Radio Corporation of America (RCA) hired a young electrical engineer -- John Nelson -- in an effort to improve the reliability of HF ("short-wave") radio communications around Earth. Such radio transmissions had been observed to be, for some reason, more reliable in the "lulls" in between, than during solar activity associated with "peak" sunspot years.

To his surprise, Nelson soon specifically correlated this rising and falling radio interference with not only sunspot cycle, but with the motions of the major planets of the solar system; he found, to his increasing astonishment, a very repeatable -- in essence, astrological correlation ... between the inexorable orbits of all the planets (but especially, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune -- which, remember, hold essentially all the solar’s system’s known angular momentum) ... and major radio-disturbing eruptions on the Sun!

For, as part of his solar research, Nelson also "rediscovered" something else ...

"It is worthy of note that in 1948 when Jupiter and Saturn were spaced by 120 degrees, and solar activity was at a maximum, radio signals averaged of far higher quality for the year than in 1951 with Jupiter and Saturn at 180 degrees and a considerable decline in solar activity. In other words, the average quality curve of radio signals followed the cycle curve between Jupiter and Saturn rather than the sunspot curve ... [emphasis added]."

J.H. Nelson, "Planetary Position Effect on Short-Wave Signal Quality" (Electrical Engineering, May 1952)

The shortwave radio signals interference registered by the planets on the Sun, Saturn and Jupiters affect on sunspot activity. "When Jupiter and Saturn were spaced by 120 degrees, and solar activity was at a maximum, radio signals averaged of far higher quality for the year than... with Jupiter and Saturn at 180 degrees and a considerable decline in solar activity. In other words, the average quality curve of radio signals followed the cycle curve between Jupiter and Saturn rather than the sunspot curve ..." - J.H.

THE SCIENCE BEHIND IT ALL

Stars and celestial bodies makes sounds. Literally. Or at least they create very powerful vibrations which can be easily converted into sound waves.

Compare these actual, real sounds generated by the planets and celestial bodies in our solar system to the sounds I have captured and created for you. Can you notice the peculiar similarity of sound between the sounds of these planetary bodies and the sounds of my frequencies?

Strange, isn't it? You may however, despite noticing the similarities, find something that sounds very very different in my frequencies. That difference is quite significant and of critical importance, I'll explain that later.

First, listen to the sounds created in actual space by the celestial bodies themselves. Here are some links for you to check out these sounds:

=========

The ancients were aware of what cutting edge cosmology is "discovering" for the "first" time. It is more accurate to say that this is a rediscovery of lost knowledge. The ancients gave us a cosmology that comprised three modes, namely the cardinal, the fixed and the mutable. These modalities interpenetrated all. In our epoch, the cardinal sign leading cusps mark the major seasonal transition points of the year being the spring equinox, the summer solstice, fall equinox and winter solstice in succession. The signs leading these seasons are Aries, Cancer, Libra and Capricorn for the tropical zodiac in the present epoch. Those of you, who are familiar with catastrophe theory, recognize the term cusps. The meaning here is the same insofar as they represent discreet boundaries between one state and another. The cardinal signs are followed by the fixed cross of Taurus, Leo, Scorpio and Aquarius. Finally there are the transitional mode signs called mutable or common, being Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius and Pisces. Some phenomena and personalities exhibit one of the three in greater abundance than the other two and thus we have the cardinal, fixed and mutable types of astrology. Each of the three modes was subdivided into four "elements" namely the fire, water, air and earth sub types. These are described as energetic/assertive for fire, intuitive/emotional for water, mental/communicative for air and practical/restraining for earth. Thus we have a type of self-affine structure in the zodiacal distribution of cosmic energy modes.

It has been demonstrated among other things, that a single non linear equation can produce all the above effects of determinacy/periodicity, quasiperiodicity/indeterminacy and chaotic/randomness with all the self-affine shades between each category in complex space/time. It has also been shown the seasonal magnetic variations of the sun on the geomagnetic envelope of Earth and ultimately the effects on all things earthbound. There are also the longer seasons averaging 11 to 22 years in length and the periodic to chaos and back cycle. We have shown the limits of predestination and freedom in the cosmos and ultimately on humanity. Yet, owing to the very complexity of the subject, there is far more awaiting to be discovered.

COSMOBIOLOGY
Cosmobiology is the scientific study of the possible effects of the cosmos upon organic life on Earth and the effects of cosmic rhythms and stellar motion on the potentials, dispositions and fate of human and animal life. Cosmobiology utilises a modern day scientific approach to analysis of cosmic rhythms which includes computer programming, mathematics and statistics.
The science of cosmobiology is an indispensible diagnostic tool that enables insights into character and psychology that have previously been unavailable to practitioners in fields such as counseling, psychology, coaching and medicine.

"Kervran's Proof of Biological Transmutation
In orthodox chemistry, one of the strongest dogmas is the stubborn insistence that it is impossible to create another element by chemical reaction. Most chemists also insist that all reactions occurring in living systems are chemical in nature. They believe fervently that chemistry can and must explain life itself.

In the early 1960's, a French researcher named Louis Kervran published work which flew directly in the face of the accepted chemistry dogma. Kervran reported the astounding results of his research showing that living plants were able to accomplish limited transmutation of elements. Kervran was then the Conferences Director at the University of Paris, and his first paper was published in La Revue Generale Des Sciences, July 1960.
What was so revolutionary was that, according to the prevailing wisdom of science, you can't transmute elements (permanently change the nucleus) except with enormous energy - certainly not with the microvolts and millivolts (and microwatts and milliwatts) that living systems can muster electromagnetically.*

The implication is that sensitive dependence on initial conditions eventually gives way, at the quantum level, to quantum uncertainty of the scarred orbit, globally traversing the space concerned, and it does so by performing a transition from chaos to order dependent on the initial conditions initially following a chaotic trajectory and eventually entering into a periodic orbit.”

Holographic blood - Dr. Harvey Bigelsen
The crystallized holograms tracked by Dr. Bigelsen are definitely in the blood. He and his colleagues have seen them hundreds of times, and the messages they seem to convey have been proven by confirmed diagnoses. But how can they be explained?

German mystic Rudolf Steiner called them 'etheric crystallizations.' Crystals will grow in
a certain pattern, like a snowflake. The more esoteric aspects of this phenomenon, along with the
practical knowledge required to diagnose and treat from live blood, are the subject of a Dr. Bigelsen's latest book, Holographic Blood.

In 1986, the Hans Nieper Foundation awarded Harvey Bigelsen the Person of the Year, recognizing his work as the most influential for the advancement of natural medicine in the U.S. Harvey Bigelsen has appeared as a guest on numerous health-focused radio programs and is the author of four books. He continues to lead the forefront of a much needed medical revolution, focusing his work on terrain-based philosophy and European biological medicine as he works primarily with people suffering from chronic disease, and those interested in anti-aging and regeneration. At the core of his medical philosophy is the conviction that germs do not cause disease. Counter to conventional medicine and Big Pharma, which promote treatments that merely attack and kill germs, Harvey Bigelsen believes that germs are not harmful, and actually live in a symbiotic relationship with the entire body. He treats the patient’s physical body in order to get it working at its highest performance, and has achieved high success rates through a combination of structural therapies, cranial-sacral adjustments, neural therapy, isopathic remedies, and European cell therapy.

Astrological Harmonic Patterns as Possible Indicators of Extraversion/Introversion

David Cochrane - Doctoral Student, University of Florida, Department of Educational Psychology

Gainesville, Florida

David Fink, Ed.D.- Professor, Johnson State College, Department of Behavioral Sciences

Johnson, Vermont

Abstract – A strong relationship was found between the measurement of extraversion/introversion using the E-scale of the Eysenck Personality Inventory and a measure of expected tendencies towards extraversion or introversion based on 7-based harmonic patterns between Sun and Saturn. The relationship is especially strong when planetary measurements are in right ascension rather than zodiac longitude. This particular harmonic pattern was hypothesized to be important based on earlier anecdotal evidence. The value of exploratory research using visual tools in this area of research is discussed. The potential social benefits of astrological research are also discussed, regardless of the outcome of the research and regardless of whether one is a believe or non-believer in astrology.

SOLAR ACTIVITY, SUN PLANET CYCLES AND THE WORLD OF FINANCE
http://www.financialuniverse.co.uk/articles/

How often have you heard people say they are ‘out of sorts’ ? How revealing it is to then learn that they were born on a day of peak solar activity and that we are going through a time of negligible activity? Just knowing that the Sun, the great giver of life is at a quite different stage in its cycle to the one they experienced at entry may be illuminating in the finest sense.

It is unfortunate that as yet we know so little about our special star, the Sun – a seemingly never-ending gigantic atomic explosion whose place in our universe we understand through the concept of the year but whose rhythms remain something of a mystery. What we do know is that the Sun generates enough power in 1 second to meet the energy needs of the US for four million years. It has a pulse that ‘pounds’ every 160 minutes, a cycle of sunspots and even periods when it is retrograde. We know too that the Sun is made up of seven layers: a photosphere and chromosphere, convection and radiation zones and an interface between the two. It is likely that there are pulses within each.

Our Sun at first appears to be a chaotic structure. However, the more we probe, the more we discover it to have set rhythms. It has long been conjectured that the planets held by its gravitational pull might also have effect on its behaviour. The truth may be far more complex – and exciting. (Read Gregory Sams’ fascinating book ‘Sun of gOd’ for thoughts on our sun’s consciousness.)

Astro-economists look at all manner of cosmic cycles from the seasons through to sunspots, solar flares, solar magnetic storms and solar retrograde periods through which to make their forecasts. Helioseismology, the science of the Sun, is still in its infancy but there is no doubt that greater knowledge will bring mankind greater understanding of economic life-cycles.

Through understanding of the seasons, the planting and harvesting of crops, we accept that our financial worlds are very much affected by solar activity. The Sun even affects our high-tech age. At 07.04 EST on May 13th, 1921 a solar magnetic storm was the cause of signal and switching system failure on the New York Central Railroad below 125th street. The same storm affected telephone, telegraph and cable traffic across Europe. Can you imagine the economic effect of the widespread disruption of communications?

Similarly, a Coronal Mass Ejection on March 9, 1989 brought about a severe geomagnetic storm bringing short wave radio interference (prompting some military experts to think that the Soviets were attacking). This solar eruption affected Earth a few days later, at 2:44 am on March 13, 1989 when Hydro-Quebec’s power grid was adversely affected. This led to a nine hour shut down – once again with major economic consequences. In August of that same year, another storm produced a halt to trading on the Toronto stock market when their microchips were similarly affected.

The source of earthy communication malfunction can be traced directly auroras – which are themselves after-effects of intense solar activity. Though as yet we have no way of predicting these events, we must acknowledge their power to bring economic chaos.

Solar scientists are able to alert us to increase activity and to give some warning of the potential for electrical fault within the few days following a sudden outburst of activity, but they cannot, as yet, tell us where the effects will be most greatly felt. Their astro-economic counterparts continue to make notes and to build up a picture of the links between solar activity and our financial – and creative – worlds.

Thoedor Landscheit in his remarkable work ‘Sun, Earth, Man’ suggested that solar flares increased creativity. It may be that these play an important role in flashes of inspiration or even mystical activity. A client who suggests they had a ‘bright idea’ and for which no planetary activity gives plausible explanation, may have been affected by a recent solar flare burst. You can check this out through www.spaceweather.com.

This is understanding through hindsight. Forecasting is another matter altogether. The simple fact is that we do not yet know enough.

We do know a little which can be put to practical use. Heading this list of cycle understanding is an approximately 190 year cycle.

You probably know that the Sun is actually not the centre of our solar system. The Sun and its system rotate in counter-clockwise motion around a central point known as the Barycentre. On seven occasions in the last four thousand years the combined position of the great planets Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune have created a pull that has resulted in the Sun rotating clockwise (retrograde) relative to the solar system Barycentre.

When Jupiter is at right angles to the Barycentre, as in 1632, between 1810 and 1812 and again through 1989 and 1990, we experienced a Sun retrograde period.

Meteorological studies show that the period post-solar-retrograde (lasting up to 30 years) brings disturbed weather patterns. These then result in shorter growing seasons and, inevitably, higher food costs.

As of 2010, we are still in one of these post-solar retrograde periods and evidence of disturbed weather patterns is all around. In the next decade it is probable that food prices will rise as a direct consequence of shortage of crops.

Understanding of this approximately 190 year cycle enabled astro-economists to suggest that from 1990 onward there might be mass migration of peoples across planet Earth as people sought better conditions under which they could sustain themselves. It was always likely that the period 1990-2020 would be a time of extraordinary social and subsequent political and economic upheaval.

A much shorter period is termed the ‘sunspot cycle’. Scientists track solar cycles by counting sunspots — cool planet-sized areas on the Sun where intense magnetic loops poke through the star’s visible surface.

Sunspots offer a fascinating field for economic study. In the 19th Century Professor Jevons studied tables for wheat, barley, oats, beans, peas and rye from 1259-1763 to show an 11.11 year sun spot cycle. (As interesting are the studies of Arthur Schuster who found that good wine years in Germany corresponded with years of minimum sun spots!).

Another study (Tchijevsky 1926) suggested that wars, revolutions and mass movements with their resulting political, social and economic consequences coincided with high levels of sun spot activity. Sunspots give off solar flares which in turn increase negative ionization on earth – which might explain increased excitability and activity during solar maxima. (Tchijevsky noted that particularly severe battles regularly followed a solar flare during the sunspot peak period of 1916-17.)

By contrast, David Williams’ studies in the 1950s showed that the US had been engaged in either war or experienced depression during alternate periods of low sunspot activity. These findings appear to contradict Tchijevsky. However, it might simply be that when sunspots are at either minima or maxima there is extreme behaviour on Earth.

The double cycle – approximately 22.2 years – covers the time when spots move downwards across the northern hemisphere of the sun, across its equator and then down toward the sun’s equivalent of the Tropic of Capricorn before starting off again in the Sun’s northern hemisphere.

Had the sunspot cycle been behaving ‘normally’, then a period of low sunspots would have been experienced in late 2007. During this particular cycle however there has been an exceptionally long solar minimum period. The ‘typical’ number of spotless (minima) days is 486 days. The minima period held for much longer than expected however and, since 2004, (and as of the time of writing) there have been 813 spotless days. 260 of these were in 2009 when we might have expected sunspot activity to be increasing. Spots are now occurring more frequently though it is hard to know exactly when maxima might now be reached.

Astro-economists have looked for correlation between the number of sunspots and stock market indices. The results are compelling. The next graph was prepared during the recent extended minima period and still shows an extended peak for 2014.

It is possible that this might not occur however.

The graph above was produced by Jan Alvestad who used data from the sunspot data index centre in Brussels. From this we see that the sun was still in a minima period in May 2009 and that the number is only now increasing (65 as of yesterday). The clear disturbance to the pattern makes forecast of the next maxima difficult to make. It is unlikely to be in 2011 as might have been expected but rather some years later. Indeed, it is possible that we are now witnessing disturbance not seen since earlier times of ‘solar discontent’ which have now been named the Dalton and Maunder minimums.

At the simplest of levels this suggests that there will continue to be serious disruption to weather patterns and, most likely, that growing periods will be substantially affected –leading to poor crops and food shortages: with considerable economic effect.

Put this together with the retrograde sun forecasts and it seems very likely indeed that the coming decade will be difficult and that food prices will soar.

As explained, it is not possible to forecast all solar activity. My clients do appreciate being reminded of its rhythms and of possible consequences in trading however. At a personal level, and of practical use is awareness of where we are in the sunspot cycle and whether sunspot numbers are close to those experienced at birth or are at a different stage in the cycle.

Recently I have been working with two elderly investors both of whom were born when sunspot activity was extremely low. In tracing their investment history we discovered that they had made their best decisions when the numbers were similarly low and their worst when the numbers were very high. Sunspot tables can be found in Neil Michelson’s excellent book, ‘Planetary Phenomena’ or through the nasa website.

Neil Michelson’s book also lists major magnetic storms. Allow a short orb for their influence. Another two investors were both born within 24hours of major storms – which seems to hint at their propensity to suddenly ‘seize on the moment’ and to take risks that others might consider foolhardy. Both are exceptionally good investors.

In preparing this article I discovered just how little I knew about our special star but that what I did understand compelled me to learn more about its activities. To me it is not enough to know where it was in zodiacal terms about its status: I have a thirst to know what kind of ‘mood’ it was and is in and how this correlates with economic activity. I suspect that this will be a never-ending quest.

Counting sunspots is not straightforward. Looking at the Sun through a pair of (properly filtered) low power binoculars – you might be able to see two or three large spots. Someone using a high-powered telescope might see 10 or 20. A powerful space-based observatory would see even more — say, 50 to 100. Which is the correct sunspot number?

There are two official sunspot numbers in common use. The first, the daily “Boulder Sunspot Number,” is computed by the NOAA Space Environment Center using a formula devised by Rudolph Wolf in 1848:

R=k (10g+s),

where R is the sunspot number; g is the number of sunspot groups on the solar disk; s is the total number of individual spots in all the groups; and k is a variable scaling factor (usually <1) that accounts for observing conditions and the type of telescope (binoculars, space telescopes, etc.). Scientists combine data from lots of observatories — each with its own k factor — to arrive at a daily value.

The Boulder number (reported daily on SpaceWeather.com) is usually about 25% higher than the second official index, the “International Sunspot Number,” published daily by the Solar Influences Data Center in Belgium. Both the Boulder and the International numbers are calculated from the same basic formula, but they incorporate data from different observatories.

As a rule of thumb, if you divide either of the official sunspot numbers by 15, you’ll get the approximate number of individual sunspots visible on the solar disk if you look at the Sun by projecting its image on a paper plate with a small telescope.

Charles Nenner cites sunspot activity as a specific key indicator for equity returns. Is there any reliable relationship between sunspot activity and stock market returns? Using monthly averages of daily sunspot counts from the Solar Influences Data Analysis Center and monthly closing levels of the Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) for September 1928 through September 2011 (997 months) and the S&P 500 Index for January 1950 through September 2011 (741 months), we find that:

Stars are Beautiful Because ....

From The Little Prince

"The stars are beautiful, because of a flower that cannot be seen."

Some selections from The Little Prince - the Real Messages of the Story:

"If some one loves a flower, of which just one single blossom grows in all the millions and millions of stars, it is enough to make him happy just to look at the stars. He can say to himself, 'Somewhere, my flower is there...' But if the sheep eats the flower, in one moment all his stars will be darkened... And you think that is not important!"

It is such a secret place, the land of tears.

"I ought not to have listened to her," he confided to me one day. "One never ought to listen to the flowers. One should simply look at them and breathe their fragrance. Mine perfumed all my planet. But I did not know how to take pleasure in all her grace." ..."The fact is that I did not know how to understand anything! I ought to have judged by deeds and not by words. She cast her fragrance and her radiance over me. I ought never to have run away from her... I ought to have guessed all the affection that lay behind her poor little stratagems. Flowers are so inconsistent! But I was too young to know how to love her..."

"Well, I must endure the presence of two or three caterpillars if I wish to become acquainted with the butterflies. It seems that they are very beautiful. And if not the butterflies-- and the caterpillars-- who will call upon me? You will be far away... as for the large animals-- I am not at all afraid of any of them. I have my claws." And, naïvely, she showed her four thorns.

"My flower is ephemeral," the little prince said to himself, "and she has only four thorns to defend herself against the world. And I have left her on my planet, all alone!"

"I should like to see a sunset... do me that kindness... Order the sun to set..." ... "You shall have your sunset. I shall command it {said the king}. But, according to my science of government, I shall wait until conditions are favorable." "When will that be?" inquired the little prince. "Hum! Hum!" replied the king; and before saying anything else he consulted a bulky almanac. "Hum! Hum! That will be about-- about-- that will be this evening about twenty minutes to eight. And you will see how well I am obeyed."

"Do you really admire me very much?" the conceited man demanded of the little prince. "What does that mean-- 'admire'?" "To admire mean that you regard me as the handsomest, the best-dressed, the richest, and the most intelligent man on this planet." "But you are the only man on your planet!" "Do me this kindness. Admire me just the same."

"Where are the men?" the little prince at last took up the conversation again. "It is a little lonely in the desert..." "It is also lonely among men," the snake said.

"Where are the men?" the little prince asked, politely. The flower had once seen a caravan passing. "Men?" she echoed. "I think there are six or seven of them in existence. I saw them, several years ago. But one never knows where to find them. The wind blows them away. They have no roots, and that makes their life very difficult."

"Come and play with me," proposed the little prince. "I am so unhappy." "I cannot play with you," the fox said. "I am not tamed." ...What does that mean-- 'tame'?" "It is an act too often neglected," said the fox. It means to establish ties." "'To establish ties'?" "Just that," said the fox. "To me, you are still nothing more than a little boy who is just like a hundred thousand other little boys. And I have no need of you. And you, on your part, have no need of me. To you, I am nothing more than a fox like a hundred thousand other foxes. But if you tame me, then we shall need each other. To me, you will be unique in all the world. To you, I shall be unique in all the world..." "I am beginning to understand," said the little prince. "There is a flower... I think that she has tamed me..."

"Goodbye," said the fox. "And now here is my secret, a very simple secret: It is only with the heart that one can see rightly; what is essential is invisible to the eye." "Men have forgotten this truth," said the fox. "But you must not forget it. You become responsible, forever, for what you have tamed. You are responsible for your rose..."

One runs the risk of weeping a little, if one lets himself be tamed...

"The stars are beautiful, because of a flower that cannot be seen."

This was a merchant who sold pills that had been invented to quench thirst. You need only swallow one pill a week, and you would feel no need of anything to drink. "Why are you selling those?" asked the little prince. "Because they save a tremendous amount of time," said the merchant. "Computations have been made by experts. With these pills, you save fifty-three minutes in every week." "And what do I do with those fifty-three minutes?" "Anything you like..." "As for me," said the little prince to himself, "if I had fifty-three minutes to spend as I liked, I should walk at my leisure toward a spring of fresh water."

"All men have the stars," he answered, "but they are not the same things for different people. For some, who are travelers, the stars are guides. For others they are no more than little lights in the sky. For others, who are scholars, they are problems. For my businessman they were wealth. But all these stars are silent. You-- you alone-- will have the stars as no one else has them--"

"In one of the stars I shall be living. In one of them I shall be laughing. And so it will be as if all the stars were laughing, when you look at the sky at night . . . You--only you--will have stars that can laugh!"

And he laughed again.

"And when your sorrow is comforted (time soothes all sorrows) you will be content that you have known me. You will always be my friend. You will want to laugh with me. And you will sometimes open your window, so, for that pleasure . . . And your friends will be properly astonished to see you laughing as you look up at the sky! Then you will say to them, 'Yes, the stars always make me laugh!'

CAN ASTROLOGY BE A SCIENCE AND AN ART ?

Can Astrology Be a Science? A.P. Velayudhan
https://www.scribd.com/read/255890630/Can-Astrology-be-a-science

Sheila Ostrander and Lyn Schroeder, in their book Psychic discoveries behind the Iron Curtain revealing the ongo- ing research on astrology in Soviet Russia, says: The parapsychologists in Russia believe that “a human being is a pulsating field dynamically interacting with all other fields like a note reasoning with all the other notes swirling in symphony”.

Edward Naumov also of Soviet Russia observes that “the solar activity at the time of birth also affects an indi- vidual. A good receiver (listener) is born when the Sun is qui- et and a good sender (Adviser) is born when the Sun is ac- tive”.

Dr Chijevsky has found the “correlation between the cy- cles of Sunspot activities and epidemics on earth including the invasion of locusts and rodents and perhaps even in migration of people.”

Sir William Hershel the discoverer the planet Uranus, in his paper presented to Royal Society of London brought to the attention of the elites, “the apparent rela- tionship that he found between the sunspot activity and the price of wheat during the period 1650 t0 1800. Based on his discovery he correctly predicted the period of abundant crops.”

R C Carrington (1863) published a paper disputing this claim. However, the later figures proved him wrong.

William Stanley Jerons, a noted English economist claimed to have found “a correlation between 11.11 year sunspot cycle and the fluctuation in the price of grains during the period 1259 and 1713”.

Dr Carl G Jung an eminent psychologist of Switzerland has this to say: “Astrology represents the summation of all the psychological knowledge of antiquity.”

Carl Jung and Dr Freud jointly discovered that “the dispositions of the moon and mercury indicate the predis- position to mental illness”.

Dr Francois Gaquelin, initially a non-believer found “correlation between the position of Jupiter, mars and Sat-urn in certain professional types like doctors, lawyers, painters, etc.”

More importantly, he also found that “the hour a baby is born will also indicate its future health because of the secretion of the hormones.”

Dr. Abbott of USA after studying sunspots for over 11 years, “successfully predicted the oncoming drought in 1975.”

Nicolas Schulz, a Soviet scientist, was able to show that “human blood undergoes significant changes in propor- tion to the intensity of cosmic radiation.”

Samples taken from 1200 people showed that “the sun’s behaviour was responsible for the increase or decrease of the whit corpuscles.”

Dr Garcia Mata and Shaffner advances the theories:

1. “Mass psychology is influenced by waves of optimism or pessimism caused by the variation in the amount of ultra- violet rays emitted by the sun.”

2. “Changes in solar activity cause changes in electro- magnetic field of humans.”

Prof Dosseur of the University of Frankfurt discovered that “our emotions were materially affected by the nature of electrical charge of the air particles surrounding us creating fluctuating moods.”

Dr Albert Krueger of the University of California says that “five molecules of hydrogen –oxy- tryptomia level in hu- man brain give response to atmospheric air ions. The effect of positive ions markedly increases aggressive character while the negative ions facilitate learning and reduce anxiety.”

M.J.H.Nelson an eminent scientist showed that “there is a close connection between the ionosphere disturbances over the north Atlantic and the planetary configuration which in our language is called aspects.”

Mr Tyrell writing in the Nature of Human Personality says that “not only astrology but the occult generally, is an obscure pointer to an aspect of the Universe above and be- yond the spatio-temporal casual framework and the world of sense-perception on which science has hitherto relied in its attempts to describe the objective universe.”

Dr.Leonard J Ravitz, an eminent neurologist, says that “the inmates of his mental hospital had to be kept under close surveillance during some of the phases the moon.”

He further says that “phases of the moon, sun’s position, cosmic and gamma rays, sunspot radiation and other distur- bances on the earth’s magnetic field have an impact on the force field or the astral bodies around our body.”

Dr Robert Becker in concurrence says that “such force field of the human body also affects the nervous system.”

Mr Arnold Meyer of the British Association of Advanced Science observes that “the sun and the moon in conjunction are both concentrating their focus on the same part of the world at the same time; this accounts for the abnormal conditions - This conjunction does definitely affect a child born during the conditions of this nature.”

Edison Y Andrews an American Surgeon in ‘The journal of Florida Medical Association’, writing on post-operative hemorrhage observes that “his patients are in greater dan- ger during full moon. This forced him to perform surgeries, as far as possible, when the moon is in the first or the last quar- ter.”

Prof. Techijesvsky of Moscow found the following which are not only scientifically exact but also astrolog- ically as well:

1. “The epidemic of influenza has an average period of 11 years and 3 months and it begins roughly 3 years after sunspot maximum.”

2. “Sunspots cycle is close to 12 months which is also the duration of Jupiter’s travel around the sun. The sunspots are perhaps related to Jupiter’s revolution.”

3. “There is a correlation between the sunspots phenomenon and wars and revolutions.”

4. “The time is fast approaching when a jury assessing the guilt of an accused will have to take into account the astro- nomical and meteorological conditions which prevailed when the crime was committed.” (In a lighter vein).

Dr Jonas agreeing with the old belief that

1. “The fertility period of women is something to do with the waxing and waning of the moon and that it is possible to find out the days a woman can conceive during her entire life time.”

2. “This can be effectively controlled via astrology which will be without any side effects like nausea, headache or weight gain. This will be a boon to Roman Catholics, who are op- posed to other methods.”

Dr Jonas in order to satiate his hunger for new discov-eries went on to prove that “retarded children were invari- ably produced when a women conceives during certain oppo- sition of the sun and the moon or major planets in her chart.”

Dr Maki Takata, a Japanese scientist, discovered that “the composition of human blood changes during eclipses. This is based on the result of his experiment showing that during the total solar eclipse, as the moon began to cover the sun the flocculation index started to decline reaching its low- est point when the eclipse completed.”

Dr P. P. Bhagwat in an article in Astrological Magazine gives elaborate details on the effect of sunspots.

1. There are changes in terrestrial magnetic activity. 2. Ultraviolet radiation from the sun varies with the

sunspots.

3. Magnetic storms disturb shortwave radio communication.

4. Long distance telegrams, electric lines, gas and oil pipes, submarine cables are all disturbed.

5. The years when the sunspots are more frequent shows drier weather and less rain fall.

6. The years when the sunspots are less the weather is more watery and stormy.

7. Temperatures are lower in sunspots maximum years.

8. Temperatures are higher in sunspots minimum years.

9. There are fluctuation, in share markets and world trade in these years.

10. The Sunspots have observable effect on the mind of the general public.

Dr B Ramamurthy, a noted neurosurgeon, has this to say: “There is truth in the opinion held in this country that there is correlation between epilepsy and the waxing and waning of the moon.

Experiments by meteorologists and neuroscientists acting in concert in India and Australia have shown that there is a definite link between geomagnetic disturbances and epilep- sy.”

Mr V.S. Kalyanaraman, another prominent author in astrological Magazine “lists over 13 historical events occur- ring from 1951 to 1978 coinciding with the intensity of sunspots.”

Prof. P S Sastry a noted researcher and a commentator in his lectures at the Rajasthan University says that.

“Varaha Mehira enumerates 33 sunspots called by him as ’Tāmasa kilakas’ which have different colours, forms and positions. He not only mentions the details of sunspots but also of their terrestrial affairs way back in 1 BC.”

Dr M Venkatacharya, who has done some research on hyper tension and heart diseases says in Astrological Magazine says: “I once again forcibly state that a doctor can be a better astrologer than a layman who studied some principles of astrology.”

K K Shah, an eminent scholar, citing the fact that “when the moon can affect the waters of the seas, it is bound to affect the human body also to the extent there is water. The calculation of protons and electrons, the reaction of min- erals carried by energy and radiated by human body is noth- ing else but the science of astrology.”

The foregoing clearly demonstrates, in most unequiv- ocal terms, the scope and the ambit of astrology to be- come not only a science but also a pioneer in research field of medicine and market analysis as well.

This also poses an embarrassing if not intriguing question for astrologers - Why didn’t they take advantage of this huge treasure of scientific wealth?

Mr M S Sitharamiah, writing in Astrological Magazine, as far back as June 1974 asks:

“Should we not, therefore, launch our own research pro- gramme in astrology?

Who is better fitted to undertake this than those in India where the ancient and the modern rub shoulders?”

Mr V. Shekhawat, in the same magazine, reasons that “the weakness of astrology drives not from the fact that its assumptions are false or that it is logically fallacious but simply from the fact that not enough attention has been paid to it academically.”
