Thema Mundi Return 2024

[ecosophia]

A couple of days ago I posted a discussion of last year's Thema Mundi return -- the experimental chart I cast and delineated for the moment of the Sun's return to its position at the traditional birth chart of the world, used as the basis for a set of predictions about US politics via the methods of classic mundane astrology. I noted then that I'd be posting a new chart and delineation for the 2024 Thema Mundi return.

Well, here it is. I'm sorry to say that it's rather more troubling than last year's chart. In particular, there is a classic indication of a risk of war -- the Moon and Mars are in an applying square, and both are angular -- as well as other negative indications. Like the last one, this is an experimental chart; to the best of my knowledge, nobody's done Thema Mundi returns before; but last year's came out fairly accurate. War is not inevitable -- astrology predicts trends, not certainties -- but the danger is there.

(I've already cast next year's chart, by the way, and it has some astonishing things in it, predicting radical changes.  More on this next August.)

As before, I've made this a public post on both my SubscribeStar and Patreon accounts. Let me know what you think.

It's experimental because there's no track record at all of using the moment of the thema mundi as a frame for predictive charts in mundane astrology. It's not interpretation that makes it experimental but the choice of dates -- not every date produces meaningful mundane charts.

Ah, thank you for the clarification. My first thought is maybe dates for some branches of astrology could be "backed out" or reverse-engineered based on the accuracy of predictions - but I suppose the complexity of the movements of the planets, sun, moon and constellations might make that a bit difficult.

What I do know is that Wikipedia sure discriminates against astrology in the "astrology and science" entry, in spite of how we know "the science" can be very limited at times in how humans understand the cosmos.

Might need to dig into this a bit more - I know that some horse handicappers use astrology though just putting together all the information for even one race can be mind boggling....but if you can pick a winner, well it might be worthwhile....
