I would like to tell a little story how me and some
friends of me once tried to statistically catch a
"hard to catch fish"...
When I was young, me and three friends used to play
a board game called "Risk". The board consists of a
somewhat simplified map of Earth with its countries.
You put armies onto each country and you can conquer
adjacent country by throwing dice, as follows.
Let's say, France has 5 yellow armies on it and wants
to attack Spain with 2 red armies on it. The player
for yellow picks as many attack dice as he has armies
on France, but maximally 3, so he picks up three dice
and trows, let's say 6 4 1. The defender can also pick
as many defence dice as armies on Spain, also maximally
3, and can also choose to defend with less, i.e. in
this case he can chose to defend with one or two dice.
Let's say he choses to defend with two and throws 5 4.
Now you sort dice by highest one, and compare them.
6 beats 5, so Spain/red loses one army, and 4 beats 4
(rule is if equal number thrown, defender wins). Thus
in this case Spain loses one army, France loses one
army. And so on.
We used to play this two against two. Me and a friend
had yellow and blue, the other two had red and white.
That lead to quite long games, a bit like in the cold
war where thr world was split into two blocks.
Now one thing was special in these games. One of the
guys in the other team, early Virgo sun, appeared to
throw higher numbers when he was in a good mood, but
lower numbers when he was in a bad mood, maybe when
the overall game was not going good or for any other
reason. I am speaking here about things like 6 6 6
followed by 6 6 5 and more, and then again 2 1 1 etc.
Now me and the guy in my team thought to ourselves:
Let's simply write down what is thrown and then later
analyze the data statistically. We did that a few times
and what happened was this: Things changed, the guy in
the other team did not longer show his good or bad luck
in that direct way, but instead defended well and there
again suprisingly, extraordinarily well in situations
that were strategically im****tant and also then using
close to minimal defence, say 6 2 2 against 6 2 1 or so.
That way the luck simply evaded the framework of our
test setup. It is was not possible to quantify when
a situation is strategically im****tant, and just doing
counts of who threw higher numbers yielded nothing,
in fact me and the guy in my team had even slightly
higher numbers on average than the other two...
With astrology it appears to be the same. Nature seems
in some places just not to be ready to let herself be
revealed by the little tricks that humans want to play
on her. That said, I think astrology is not far from
being ripe to be "cracked". It is possible and I think
it will be done in the not so distant future :)
I see elements of Venus, Mercury, Jupiter, maybe most
strongly emphasized in Pisces/Virgo, or maybe not.
Ted meets Bob who he had not seen for quite a while:
Ted: Hey Bob, strange to see you. Someone told me you
were dead.
Bob: Very funny, obviously not!
Ted: I don't believe you, the other guy was a much
more trustworthy person than you.

end they have to drink themselves"
-- Unknown source (heard it locally in Switzerland)
[A quote that could have been astrological (Cattle/Taurus),
seems to m also to be quite a bit related to the quote of
C.G. Jung that Apollia mentioned: "When an inner situation
is not made conscious, it appears outside as fate."]
As usual, I guess many factors overlaying, difficult
to single out just one dominant factor...
