Kepler and Galileo did not talk about interdisciplinary research, they lived it. Kepler was not only an astronomer and astrologer, but also a meteorologist, mathematician, harmonist, philosopher, theologian, and mystic. Newton, last but not least in this trinity of creative scientists, wrote much more on alchemy, theology, and metaphysics than on physics and mathematics. In hundreds of nights spent in his unhealthy alchemical laboratory, he searched for the noumenal light, the bearer of life and mind, quite different from the phenomenal light he dealt with in his optics. Kepler, Galileo, and Newton integrated the knowledge of their age. This was a necessary condition for their creativity.
In our days, astrologers and scientists do not live up to their great predecessors who initiated a new age in science. There are few exponents who coalesce astrological views and modern scientific knowledge to create new paradigms. Most scientists do not realize that their findings confirm fundamental astrological ideas, and most astrologers do not see that creative scientists transgress the frontiers of traditional astrological knowledge. In our time, astrology's faculty to integrate diverging fields of knowledge is merely a dormant potentiality. Faint-hearted astrologers timidly defend the old saying "as above, so below" by reducing it to a mere analogy, whereas scientists like the dynamic systems theorist Erich Jantsch and the Nobel Prize recipient Ilya Prigogine boldly claim that there is interdependent coevolution of microcosmic and macrocosmic structures regulated by homologous principles, which go back to common cosmic roots that converge in the cosmic-egg phase of our universe. Even operations research, a rather practical field of knowledge, follows the basic rule that the behavior of any part of a system has some effect on the system as a whole.
The application of such rules, however, is restricted to the narrow limits of human activity in society, technology, and economy. Scientists lack the boldness of astrological imagination that could stimulate a projection of basic insights upon the dimensions of the solar system—the realm of the Sun, Earth, and planets—that induced creative ideas in Kepler, Galileo, and Newton. The result of the experiments suggested by Bell's theorem begs for a new synthesis that integrates fundamental astrological ideas and modern scientific knowledge. Thus, let us try such a new kind of genuine interdisciplinary approach. It will yield intriguing results, which show that the Sun and planets function like an intricate organism regulated by complex feedback loops.

The Sun, which makes the planets revolve around its huge body, is again influenced by the giant planets Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune, which make it revolve around the common center of mass of the solar system. This very irregular motion regulates the Sun's varying activity, which again influences the planets, and so on. This feedback loop will be revealed by deciphering a kind of Rosetta stone of planetary forcing. We shall come to know how the tidal planets Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Jupiter, and the giant planets cooperate in regulating or modulating essential features of the Sun's activity: the former by special effects of tide-generating forces, and the latter via the Sun's oscillations about the center of mass. And Jupiter, this massive planet just below the level of a binary star, is the link between both groups; it is the only planet involved in both functions, thus playing a central role.
Accordingly, special Jupiter configurations prove to be related to variations in the Sun's rotation, the incidence of energetic solar eruptions, geomagnetic storms, variations in the ozone column in the Earth's atmosphere, rainfall, temperature, rises and falls in animal populations, economic cycles, interest rates, stock prices, variations in the gross national product, phases of general instability, and even historical periods of radical change and revolution. In addition, consecutive Jupiter configurations constitute long-term cycles, the harmonics of which point to short-term cycles that appear in various time series of solar-terrestrial events. The most significant harmonics form ratios that reflect consonances and even the major perfect chord in musical harmony. This new precise realization of the Keplerian "music of the spheres" makes it possible to "compose" predictions of the Sun's activity and its terrestrial response.
