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.
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.
