According to various astrologers' calculations, approximate dates for entering the Age of Aquarius range from 1447 CE (Terry MacKinnell) to 3597 CE (John Addey). ... In 1929 the International Astronomical Union defined the edges of the 88 official constellations. The edge established between Pisces and Aquarius officially locates the beginning of the Aquarian Age around 2600 CE.

"a respected astrologer" Respect is earned. We'll see ...

Well, they couldn't even find a picture of Saturn to illustrate this "article" about Saturn and Jupiter. Instead, they've gone with one of Ganymede nearly eclipsing Jupiter. You know, the moon of Jupiter that astrologers hadn't a clue about, until Galileo the astronomer studied Jupiter and found it?

Oh, the whole thing is bollocks, and you know it's all bollocks. Why would you think that alignments of points of the solar system have anything whatever with world politics? Or that the patterns stars form (or formed, in the case of the zodiac - because they've moved a bit since the Babylonians had the ideas you now push) can some how "show the value of South America's resources"?

"Let astrology fertilize geopolitics." Well, bullshit may be natural fertilizer, but we need less than it in geopolitics, not more. You know who else has anti-science ideas, and lets their feelings about superstitions overtake rational thought and study of people? The Republicans.
