Mundane Astrology To Analyze World Events

Los Angeles – 7.1.09 – Astrologers adopt Mundane astrology as the application to analyze world events and world affairs.   

Over the years astrologers have been practicing Mundane astrology for such purposes. It takes the name from the Latin world Mundus that means “the world”.

“Mundane astrology is a branch of Judicial astrology and is widely believed by astrological historians to be the most ancient branch of astrology”, according to the definition of the terminology advanced by experts.

History shows that in the medieval era, this branch of astrology was known as the study of revolutions.  The study in those days was made on the basis of planetary configurations and orbits around the earth, according to the astrologers.

Astrologers further specify that there are two major approaches to the astrological study.  The first approach concentrates its focus on the national horoscope or the astrological chart of the country.  The impacts of the transiting planet on the horoscope is assessed and the analysis is put in place, say the astrologers.

The second approach according to them is the “ancient practice of finding correlations that exist between geological phenomena and astronomical phenomena”.  This means the relationship between events like earthquake, cyclone, volcanic eruptions and war on one hand and the planetary transitions on the other is studied by the astrologers according to this approach.

Astrologers widely believe that the fundamentals of Mundane astrology were set up by the Greek astrologer Ptolemy in 120 AD in his famous creation, the “Tetrabiblos”. Mundane astrology since then has been used to explain history in its perspectives and assessment of momentous events like the rise and fall of empires.

Since the 20th century the astrologers are basing their studies on planetary cycles rather than on the planetary positions in horoscopes or natal charts.

Some of the interesting predictions made with Mundane astrology has been the occurrence of the economic tsunami in 2008 and Barrack Obama coming to power in United States as President. Astrologers continue to put their faith on Mundane Astrology for predicting such events across the globe.
