Astrology lived at project hindsight and i studied studied there from for roughly just over two years from 19 from 2005 until 2007 and one of the things i was always really curious about was what was going on in 1992 and 1993 when this translation project was started and when because it wasn't just that translation project there was also the revival of of traditional astrology in the uk had become had turned into a full-blown thing at that point
Astrology was a lot of excitement surrounding traditional astrology there was the founding of the american college of vedic astrology around 1992 1993 as well and there was also the foundation of kepler college which was like a attempt in the west to create a school for astrologers and to bring astrology back into academia in some sense so there's a lot of stuff going on around 1992 1993 especially with the revival of ancient wisdom and i was curious
Astrology was going on astrologically and if there's anything that coincided with that that was that sort of stood out and one of the things that i saw and noticed was that there was this this conjunction this somewhat rare conjunction of outer planets between uranus neptune that occurred in 1992 and 1993 right when all of this was going on so i thought that that was curious and i decided to look back and see what had happened at other times in the history of astrology when uranus
Astrology conjunctions occurred and what was weird is i started noticing that at the start of many of these major traditions of astrology especially at the point where there was a transmission of older forms of astrology which were then merged with whatever the prevailing astrological tradition was at that time that there would often be a uranus neptune conjunction so that's been the subject of other talks and usually this talk is sometimes i go through the different uranus neptune conjunctions
Astrology give you an idea there was a uranus neptune conjunction in 61 and 62 bce which roughly coincides with the emergence and the beginning of the hellenistic astrological tradition there was another conjunction in 794 795 ce which was when masha allah and some of the early arabic authors were writing in baghdad and they started their translation project in baghdad in order to translate texts from greek and sanskrit and persian into arabic that was in baghdad under the house of wisdom is what it was called the translation project
Horoscope was a uranus neptune conjunction that perfectly coincides with the start of the medieval astrological tradition then right in the middle of the 12th century translation movement there was a uranus neptune conjunction from 1135 through 11 37 ce so right in the middle of that huge movement of scholars who were flocking from all over europe to spain to translate texts from arabic to latin there was a uranus neptune conjunction and then even remember when christian when william lilly published christian astrology in 1647
Horoscope was within two or three years of another uranus neptune conjunction which occurred between 1649 and 1650 so these are actually just a few of them the full like version of this lecture that i've given at different points over the past 15 years i think starting in 2006 was the first time i gave this lecture and i integrated the uranus neptune conjunctions throughout it i didn't want to make that the focal point of this lecture but i just still wanted to include something as a side note
Horoscope is to be the future of your life because i think that it really helps to contextualize the current period of transmission and synthesis that we're going through now where there's been this just like an ancient in history periodically this revival of older forms of astrology that are transmitted and recovered and then they're synthesized with whatever the prevailing approaches to astrology are at that time and it ends up creating a new astrology
Astrology becomes the standard over the next century or two so when you break down the astrological traditions this isn't a complete breakdown but that means we have let's say the high point of mesopotamian state-supported astrology in the 8th century under the assyrian empire in mesopotamia then we have the birth and the introduction of natal astrology in the 5th century bce in mesopotamia we have the birth of hellenistic astrology
The birth of the four-fold system that uses planets signs houses and aspects in the first century bce then we have the this is a little bit more rough but like the indian and persian traditions we have that transmission to of hellenistic astrology to india into persia at least by the third century or possibly a little bit later then in the 8th century we have the beginning of the medieval arabic tradition in the 12th century
