Agree re 'Math' ... aye, it's anathema ... or a Nath enema ... or however it's spelt.

btw, it's immediately, unless you were talking about some sort of instant yet strangely taoist thought process

Noice!

[*Buckaroo*]

I immeditately reject any article with the word 'math' in.

How can you calculate astrology without maths ?

'calculate astrology'?

Yes, there is some basic maths, now there are computer programs to do it for you. Earlier one had to compute everything individually based on individual data.

[*Buckaroo*]

there is lot of info in this article:

'calculate astronomy' I accept, but surely 'calculate astrology' falls into the same category as 'measure attractiveness', only a little further down the scale ...

Basically you are measuring the variables that go into the mix. Once you achieve the end result. Astrology depends on how one interprets those variables.

The Prophecy of the Popes, attributed to Saint Malachy, speculated that Pope Benedict XVI would reign during the beginning of the tribulation of which Jesus spoke, and sometime later a future pope described in the prophecy as "Peter the Roman", the last in this prophetic list, would appear,
bringing as a result the destruction of the city of Rome and the Last
Judgement.
* Many new age spiritualists and philosophers ("new-agers") believe humankind will enter an age of enlightenment in 2012. There are a range of
varying, generally positive, beliefs shared by a subset of
spiritualists from the mundane to exceptional -- including a positive
social shift and age of peace, mankind becoming psychic and connected
by a collective, and/or an evolution of the human race into
non-corporeal beings made of "spiritual" energy, or light energy. An
alternative view is that we are already thought-forms (see also
idealism) and will be realizing our true selves in this year.

So by pure conjecture and nothing else, the world is going to be cleansed in 5 years? Nice. I surmise that two models with £50 notes stuffed in their orifaces will fall from the sky onto my lap in a day or two. Can't wait.

Come again ... it means initiation of a cleansing process and moving into another dimension. Something better than the present.

Mayan Year of Destiny - 2012

2012 – Mayan Year of Destiny

....

Rebirth on 2012

On August 11, 3114 BC, a new Solar Age began and the Sun Lord was reborn. Creation Lord deities are often portrayed attending the rebirth of the world, including one called Bolon Yokte K’u, who is closely associated with war, conflict, and the Underworld.
Despite these associations, Bolon Yokte is a god that is often present
during Creation events. He is portrayed on a ceramic called Vessel of
the Seven Lords, which contains the date 3114 BC, the beginning of our
present 13-Baktun cycle. Of course, the date that interests us is the
beginning of the next 13- Baktun cycle, which occurs on December 21,
2012, the end of the Mayan Calendar. A
recent translation of a text from Tortuguero, a Classic Maya site north
of Palenque, explicitly points to the date December 21, 2012.
Translated by Mayan epigrapher David Stuart, the legible part of the
text reads: “At the end of 13 Baktuns, on 4 Ahau 3 Kankin, 13.0.0.0.0;
something occurs when Bolon Yokte descends.” The verb glyph describing what happens is effaced, so it is replaced with the word something, but the creation lord Bolon Yokte
is depicted, meaning that 2012 was thought of by the Maya as a creation
or recreation of the world, possibly during a time of war, conflict,
and dominance of the Underworld and the Lords of the Underworld.

As
we can see, the end of the Mayan Calendar is simply the end of the
present World Age. And, important to us, it simply marks the beginning
of the next cycle of rebirth, renewal.

There are no specific
markings or statements about the year 2012 on the archaeological
artifacts at Izapa, but there are numerous images at Izapa that portray
a rare celestial alignment that appears in the skies in the years
around 2012. This galactic alignment marks the rebirth of the December
solstice and the rebirth of the Sun Lord over Seven Macaw’s attempts to
replace him. The Sun Lord rises through the Dark Rift in the Milky Way,
located between Sagittarius and Scorpio. Scorpio is depicted near the
base of the Tree of Life in Mayan illustrations. Souls on Earth
experience a change of galactic seasons, a celestial time-cycle shift,
with our Sun moving into rebirth at the “Black Hole” at the celestial
base of the Tree of Life (a location in the great Milky Way). December
21, 2012, signals the end of this 5,125-year age that we’ve been living
in and the commencement of a new Earth Age.

This is all starting to remind me a little of the Argentinian World Cup goalkeeper Carlos Roa, who quit football in 1999 at the height of his career to go home and prepare for the apocalypse.

When it never came a 'disappointed' Roa came back to play in the Spanish second division.

[furriner]

I only want to know if this new era will have free booze and no work. Also many beautiful women eager for my 'company'.

This chappie makes 7th Day Aventists sound like Nihls Bohr.

What's it to you? You create threads, not take ownership of the direction they take.

He got his dates all wrong ... Y2K was a "new beginning" only for the Neocon cabal to launch Iraq war and other adventures.

I thought it was fun.

Apologize for the diversion. Carry on with your thread.

[Lara Lara Laughs]

Feck you.

[Brass Monkey]

Feck you.

When you grow up, you'll learn that thread topics get diverted in the process of general chat and debate. As many people have said: "That's life". Or doing an incredibly bad Merlin West Indian accent: "Dat be da ting dey call life mon"

[*Buckaroo*]

wasn't it "maaaan"

[Lara Lara Laughs]

Yeah. Feck you.

[Brass Monkey]

wasn't it "maaaan"

Yeah probably. Was that predicted by the Mayans in conjunction with Vishnu?

[*Buckaroo*]

Probably by Tyronne.

[Brass Monkey]

Nah, that was the prediction of England winning the WC 2003, in conjunction with Loki, the Norse Sly-God

[Merlin]

Feck you.
