Mundane astrology is the astrology of the world, rather than of the individual. It is likely the oldest form of astrology – that which prophesied concerning the land, the nation, and the community, of wars and woesoes and the weather.
Personal astrology – the astrology of the individual – came later, as ego-differentiation became more distinct in human psychology and culture. Even then, personal astrology seems to have arisen originally on behalf of the monarch, deemed one with the land: At first, it was an extension of mundane astrology.
Despite this antiquity and even primacy in astrology’s history, few books on mundane astrology have emerged in the last century, and those have had little new to contribute. Mundane forecasts have long been standard features of astrology magazines, though rarely having much to show for themselves in terms of insight and accuracy – rarely reaching even the level of informed political observation.
Better tools are available, though. Most astrologers have overlooked these tools for half a century, primarily because they do not know they exist. This present report presents these tools with an eye to making them accessible to all interested astrologers.
UNVEILING NEW TOOLS
In the May, June, and July 1957 issues of American Astrology Magazine, astrologer Donald A. Bradley (writing under his usual pen name, Garth Allen) published an article series titled “Unveiling a New Tool.” These articles introduced Sidereal solar and lunar ingress charts and demonstrated their value in identifying natural disasters and other categories of major events with unprecedented power and clarity. I use the word “unprecedented” quite mindfully: Nothing previously recorded in astrology’s history ever produced results as accurate and reliable as these.
For example, of several interrelated astrological tools discussed in the present report, a single technique, called the Capsolar Quotidian, accurately marked the time, place, and nature of 98% of the major events studied herein. Getting 98% accuracy in mundane astrology is unprecedented by any combination of methods.1
Additionally, the methods given here are straightforward: Sidereal mundane astrology in practice consists of little more than determining which planets are most dominant for the year, quarter, month, week, day, and hour of an event be seeing which planets closely conjoin the angles of the relevant chart for a given time period and place.
