It seemed to me that such a momentous event - often associated with the end of Communism - must be connected to the Jupiter-Saturn conjunction. It is this cycle which corresponds to and warns of great changes in mundane affairs. The conjunction pertaining to these events is that of 19th February 1961 http://sue-ward.blogspot.com/2009/11/berlin-wall.htmlsueward@sue-ward.co.uk (Sue Ward)0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-299769811320045454.post-2640792073346940233Sun, 11 Oct 2009 20:16:00 +00002009-10-11T21:23:11.991+01:00peter stockingerFamiliar to Alltradition libraryWilliam LillyThe editorial team and I knew that a central resource for astrologers was not a new idea, but to dedicate it to Traditional astrological texts might be a little more novel.
