Hi Michael,
I thought you would enjoy the Opus Dei alignment of Da Vinci fame.
Catholic priest Josemaria Escriva de Balaguer is alleged to have had a vision on 2nd October 1928 in Madrid, Spain, which established the Catholic Order:-

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Opus_Dei#History

As the Sun rose on that day and location, being ancient Egyptian day marker, Sirius was culminating at True South, astronomy graph below:-

In a lot of bible study done by Freemasons the quote that the "Blazing Star" is the Star of Bethlehem is often quoted.
This related to "The Three Wise Men arriving in Bethlehem.
This happened on 6th January we are lead to believe by Epiphany.
A star alignment on this date will carry on for a few centuries, so the year isn't important, it would cover the period of Christ.
The ancient Jews did and still do use Sunset previous to date as the start of day, so we would be looking in Bethlehem at sunset on 5th January approx. two thousand years ago, as Sun Set, Sirius was rising, i could have followed the alignment from Persia:-

Following Sirius has one problem which is you need to know date of birth before setting out on your journey from Persia to follow it to Bethlehem.

Thanks, but I would prefer to stick with Bruno some more.
Archaeoastronomer wrote:Pure Hypocrisy.
Perhaps the reason that Bruno left the Dominican Order, was Religiosam Vitam, the Papal Bull that started the Dominican's on 22nd December 1216 in Rome.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Religiosam_vitam

Ancient Greek day marker is Sunset Previous to date, so December 21st 1216 in Rome.

As the Sun set, Alnilam, centre star of the Belt of Orion is rising, this is used in Hermetic astrology as Osiris, as Isis is Sirius, graphs below showing rising an setting horizon:-

No, Bruno left because he was regarded as a Heretic and even accused of murder. He then started his famous journey that would take him to several European countries as well as to encounters with nobles and scholars both frustrating and rewarding.

Hi Michael,


It does seem that the inquisition of Bruno was planned in Venice on 22 May 1592
Quote below:-

" When Bruno announced his plan to leave Venice to his host, the latter, who was unhappy with the teachings he had received and had apparently come to dislike Bruno, denounced him to the Venetian Inquisition, which had Bruno arrested on 22 May 1592."

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Giordano_Bruno

Ancient Greek day marker used being previous sunset at location of Venice on 21st May 1592 where Sirius set with the Sun, it does seem that they had the evil eye on Bruno, and wanted the allegations to stick, by aligning to the stars!

Hi Archaeoastronomer,

It seems unlikely that the Inquisition had planned to arrest Bruno on that particular day in advance. His host Mocenigo locked him up in a room and denounced him to the Inquisitors out of frustration when he realized (as I assume) that Bruno's teachings wouldn't endow him with magical super powers over night, and on top of that, his unsuspecting guest announced that he would leave for Germany soon!

Personally, I doubt that all or most of your examples should be seen as evidence for the application of electional astrology. Some of them could simply be 'meaningful coincidences' - whose existence is the basic tenet of astrology after all! Sirius setting with the Sun might be particularly fitting in the case of Bruno's arrest, as his declared mission was to reestablish 'the Egyptian religion.'

Hi Michael Sternbach,

The big question, if what i show is unconscious action, or electional astrology, one way is proof that astrology works, the other is showing that the world is full of intentional astrology.

I think i will start a new thread on the East Coast of America around the Washington DC area.

Having to choose, I would opt for option no. 1 any time of the day. :lol:

Hi Michael,
Any proof of electional astrology debate is the amount of evidence especially with calendars, quote below:-
"The indiction was first used to date documents unrelated to tax collection in the mid-fourth century. By the late fourth century it was being used to date documents throughout the Mediterranean. In the Eastern Roman Empire outside of Egypt, the first day of its year was September 23, the birthday of Augustus. During the last half of the fifth century, probably 462 AD, this shifted to September 1, where it remained throughout the rest of the Byzantine Empire. In 537 AD, Justinian decreed that all dates must include the indiction via Novella 47,[18] which eventually caused the Byzantine year to begin on September 1. But in the western Mediterranean, its first day was September 24 according to Bede, or the following December 25 or January 1, called the papal indiction. An indictio Senensis beginning September 8 is sometimes mentioned.

The 7,980-year Julian Period was formed by multiplying the 15-year indiction cycle, the 28-year solar cycle and the 19-year Metonic cycle.
Terminology"

It is thought that Indiction started in Instanbul the capital of the Byzantine Empire on 1st September 0462AD, being like the start of the year.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indiction

On this day Jupiter rose with the Sun, the usual with electional astrology, while Alnilam was culminating, being ancient Egyptian day start.

Some think the Mayan Calendar is aligned to the Galactic Center, however on the Winter Solstice 21st December 2012, i have found the Calendar aligned to Egyptian Stars being Isis/Sirius and Alnilam/Osiris at the Location of Izapa, Mexico :-

Ancient Greek day marker is sunset , but as the Sun set at location, Alnilam, Belt of Orion and Osiris star was rising:-

What is interesting is the Calendar was aligned twice for at sunrise at location, Sirius/Isis star was setting, i wonder about the connection to Egypt, graph below:-

Chichen Itza was built between 9th and 12th Century, they left us with the shadow of the plumed serpent running down the Northern Balustrade of steps on the Pyramid during the Spring Vernal Equinox and the Autumn Equinox, we must investigate what else happened on these days at approx. time of building.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/El_Castillo,_Chichen_Itza

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equinox

The First Council of Nicaea was important regarding Julian Calendar, it gave Christians ability to calcalate Easter, BUT the Spring Equinox was needed to do this regarding a full moon, but even then they knew that the calendar was too long, thus the real Equinox was moving backwards in the Julian Calendar, by 1582, this was happening on 11th March.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/First_Council_of_Nicaea

All my astronomy programmes show Gregorian Calendar back to 1582, before then it uses Julian Calendar, to get back to around 0950 with Chichen Itza, i have to take off 5 days regarding Julian calendar regarding Autumn Equinox, so i'm showing 17th September 0950, being accurate, strangely with both Equinox's it seems aligned to Sirius and the Sun although, i'm only showing Autumn Equinox below:-
As Sun rose at location, Sirius was culminating....
