I don't know why you call it "hope-charged jargon". I think if you count, word by word, the things you're somehow coming away with the impression that they're "jargon", you'll be surprised how many of those words are better fit by my hypothesis about how I was choosing which words to write, which is: "presenting, in a detailed but compact way, the specific elements of the relations between the phenomenon in question and the astrological entities it might be related to", those astrological entities being Saturn, Neptune/Pisces, Pluto (and Minerva), Mercury, and the Sun.
Also, the way you say that makes it seem as though you think I'm using astrological justifications to buttress my hope, and then in turn buttressing the astrological justifications with complicated jargon so I can get lost in the details and miss how the picture doesn't make sense. No. What?
This came into focus for me, in this form, far before I was really giving any attention to astrology. (Also it's mostly dread rather than hope.)
If you want complicated jargon, look at the arguments over the Church-Turing thesis. Ask yourself why the Universe goes so far out of its way to give skeptics so much ammunition, in the form of "decline effects" and "evasive psi" in parapsychology, which is the one place where you would normally have thought to expect science to discover that the Church-Turing thesis was false if the Universe wasn't playing unexpected games with humanity's states of knowledge. And then ask yourself how safe you should feel about your certainty that the Universe will abruptly stop imitating that same semblance of materialism being true, just at the point where people start leaning a lot harder on certain implications of the Church-Turing thesis.
