André Barbault's Prediction of the 2020 Pandemic

[Mark]

We have all discussed the significance of planetary stelliums and cycles here over the years but André Barbault's work is surely the proof positive how potent this can be when it comes to 'world astrology' as opposed to mundane concerns about specific countries and nations through national charts, ingresses or eclipse paths. We should all sit up and learn from this master of the art.

This is from an article on pandemics by the late great French astrologer André Barbault written back in 2011.

Hi Mark - the following graph is from a script I am working on for Planetdance. It refers to the phenomenon that Barbault identifies in this essay. You will also find a reference to pandemic at this time in book Planetary Cycles: Mundane Astrology, published in honour of Barbault a few years ago. It was put out by the Astrological Association.

The reference in the book is on pages 150-151.



The blue line represents the total annual angular separation between the outer planets. The falling line shows Jupiter (predominantly) waning with respect to the other outer planets. A rising line shows Jupiter mainly waxing with respect to the other outers. It is the relatively fast speed of Jupiter in relation to the other outers that causes the angular separation to decrease (falling) or increase (rising).

The pink line is the moving annual average of this measurement.

The second image is also reproduced in this book.



The red line represents the annual rise and fall of Barbault's index, which is derived from the angular separation between planets Jupiter through Pluto. A falling line represents a preponderance of waning aspects; the rising line is a preponderance of waxing aspects.

The pink line is the moving average of this index.

The vertical red lines (continuous and broken) represent years with a majority of waning aspects between the outer planets.

At the moment this module isn't released in Planetdance, but is work in progress.

All the best. Ed

Thanks for the link Mark

Still making my way through the french, I hadn't heard of Barbault's "Cyclical Index" before, so trying to make sense of what he means by this.

Does anyone more familiar with his work understand what this is?

Hi guys

I've posted my best guess at the french translation of this article here:

https://docs.google.com/document/d/1cd_NiXrRPeEausoeFCOplpSGr0OdpeWOhxnBToChPPE/edit?usp=sharing

My French is very much high school level and I'll likely keep working at finessing the translation, so this is very much a first draft.

Hope people find it helpful

(PS it is expected that a better translation by a French speaking astrologer will be available soon)

Hi everyone,

Greetings from Paris.

I found this article on Yves Lenoble's blog, which states that André Barbault first published his idea about the "cyclical index" in 1974, and it's based on Henri-Joseph Gouchon's "index of planetary concentration" from 1946.

http://www.yveslenoble.com//wp-content/uploads/sites/1051/2019/12/La-D%C3%A9couverte-de-l%E2%80%99Astrologie-Mondiale-par-les-cycles.pdf

He also points out that Barbault had predicted very critical times in terms of geopolitics for the years 1982-83, which were the deepest low for the "cyclical index" in the 20th century. But nothing really bad happened in those years. So it seems that his index is not always right!

Take care,

Roy Gillet, was telling me that Andre Barbault also correctly predicted the death of Stalin and the end of the Soviet Union. Probably, many other events too.

He predicted a crisis for the Europe in 2010 and 2020-21.

There is an article in the current issue of the UK Astrological Association Journal where there is a full, professional translation of the above text and more details about Barbault.

paul,

thanks for sharing your translation of the barbault article.. much appreciated! i enjoyed the article!

mark

thanks also for the updates here and elsewhere..


philyria

thanks for your post and welcome to skyscript! although it is just a general observation, i believe the whole concept of neo-liberalism got a real foothold under the combined leadership of margaret thatcher and ronald reagan which loosely coincides with the 1982 - 1983 area... i also believe this was the beginning of an ever ballooning stock market, but i don't have access to longer term charts to see for a fact... you are probably correct and it is worth keeping a healthy perspective on any predictions made, regardless of the person predicting... it seems though that barbault was onto something for him to make the comment on a concern for a pandemic for 2020-2021 way in advance as he did..
