Why this topic? For 26 years—since 2000—I have been tracking the correlation between the positions of Venus, as both the Morning Star and Evening Star, and political and financial crises, peace, and money, as it rules Libra and Taurus.
In 2023, I gave an initial presentation of my research at an astrology conference dedicated to Venus. Since then, my conclusions have been reinforced by the ongoing presence of very clear patterns. These demonstrate, first, how Venus consistently reveals its nature and impact whether as Day or Night star at key chronological moments in the unfolding of material and military disruptions throughout history; and second, how its preference for transits in certain signs or within its cyclical movement stands out clearly when major market crises or armed conflicts between countries occur.
Once again, the pattern repeated itself in February of this year when war broke out between the US and Iran. I am unaware of any other astrological research in this field.
The presentation draws a parallel between the movements of Venus and the most significant crises in history, from Russia’s annexation of Crimea in 1783 up to the present moment. Charts and maps support the presentation.
Biography
For over 30 years studying and 15 years writing about Astrology. With a background in Political Sociology and published works, I am particularly interested in major planetary cycles and their correlation with historical milestones, as well as how each of us fits into our Time through the individual horoscope.
