My Little book of transits (predictive astrology).
Cyclical History
Right before the pandemic, I prepared an in-depth presentation for an august group of astrologers, looking at 2020, and beyond. Like a puzzle piece, this work fits nicely with other material I’ve covered, the cyclical nature of human history played out against the backdrop of the night’s sky.

I’m guessing it was about 1968, Czechoslovakia was invaded by Mother Russia. Look up the history someplace else, but wikipedia has an excellent précis.
Me, being only a handful of years on the planet, what I recall were snippets of conversation — possibly invalid as a reliable source — but recollections that shape me.
There were demonstrations in Paris, Russia was grinding toward the west, and yet, Europe was still deemed relatively safe. Maybe being less than two hours from the Swiss border helped.
“Sure,” the local guide, bit of bon vivant gadfly intoned, “we watch, but there are few interruptions, maybe no sugar for a week.” Punctuated with a shrug.
The international newspaper in English, no TV, but an extensive library, and I can’t recall much else. A grand salon, and erudite, educated discussion where Texas, the USA, was not the center of attention.
Cyclical History
At the same time, don’t forget, the war in Vietnam was expanding. Really confuses the “Friend of my enemy is an ally” situation. Then. Now.
The short form? Russian forces took over Czechoslovakia and installed a puppet government, sycophants loyal to the specter of Russian rule.
Cyclical History
But the memory delves deeper, and we have to echo back to the last time Saturn and Jupiter were conjunct in Capricorn — 1961. Then, shortly after that? The two planets are in Aquarius, together. Like I’ve alluded to to before — we’ve seen this kind of energy.
History tends to be cyclical.
4:14 “For if thou altogether holdest thy peace at this time, then shall there enlargement and deliverance arise to the Jews from another place; but thou and thy father’s house shall be destroyed: and who knoweth whether thou art come to the kingdom for such a time as this?”
