The fantastic gods of the ancients were metaphors for concepts known to all men in all ages. Love, war, nature, fertility, authority, pleasure, poetry, reason, intuition, music, magic, etc., are no longer personified, but they are still worshipped in many open and covert ways. It is even true to say that, on occasion, we embody these principles in demons or gods: Hitler, Marilyn, Einstein, Gandhi are names far more powerful than the humans who bore them. They are names to conjure with, because they represent deep forces within all men. Astrology, whose real field of study is not the stars but these forces within us, seems utterly alien to objective solar science. Yet it is a science. It has been tested in a practical way, by millions of observations made over thousands of years. Ignoring all of this, the solar scientists ask for more proof. And proof there is. Can planets affect human life? In a curious way, solar scientists have proved this for themselves. Sunspots are now known to have strange effects on all terrestrial life. Professor A.L. Tchijefsky has found links between the sunspot cycle and the cycle of wars, revolutions, and other signs of mass unrest over the past twenty-five hundred years. Dr. Charles Davison found a similar link between sunspots and earthquakes over the past 581 years. At least three economists have noticed a connection between sunspots and the behaviour of the stock market. And there appears to be a sunspot effect on phenomena as diverse as the abundance of grasshoppers in America and of partridges in Czechoslovakia. What causes sunspots? In 1951 RCA asked John H. Nelson, a propagation analyst, to find out. Since sunspots were an annoying source of radio interference, RCA naturally wished to find a way of predicting them. Nelson found the cause to be nothing less than the movements of Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn. Sunspots occurred whenever two or more of these planets were in conjunction, in opposition, or in square. Knowing only the movements of these planets, Nelson was able to predict sunspots with more than 90 percent accuracy. Conjunction, opposition, and square are of course familiar terms to astrologers, who have been using them since early Babylonian times to predict phenomena like wars, earthquakes, etc. -pages 121-122 of Arachne Rising by John Vogh
