After Rahul Gandhi concluded his
widely watched speech to India Inc. yesterday, an unlikely word was left
hanging in the air: “beehive.”
Critics
often allege that the mythical beasts traced by joining stars in the night sky
are entirely fanciful and if astrologers have all along been making elaborate
deductions from nothing more substantial than a fortuitous pattern of stars
they are certainly very naïve. With news of political and current events
available freely, unlimited data is now available to the serious astrology
researcher to prove that there is substance in the images drawn by ancient
astrologers. But to prove anything, astrology like any subject requires
familiarization with its methodology. One such method is the use of eclipse charts and the
examination of star constellations that appear on the four ‘angles’ – a term
used in astrology to refer to the four points of the compass produced by the
horizon and meridian axis. Put more simply astrologers believe that the
constellations rising, culminating, setting or on the nadir at the time of an
eclipse are significant in that they influence events at that place. In addition, it is also known in astrology that
the influence of an eclipse can occur prior to its actual occurrence. ‘Backwards’ causation is not as bizarre as it
might appear and is well known in modern physics.[1]
Let us take an apparently unimportant news item where

The Beehive
Cluster, also known as Praesepe (Latin for "manger"), M44, NGC
2632, or Cr 189, is an open cluster in the constellation Cancer. It is one of
the nearest open clusters to the Solar System, and it contains a larger star
population than most other nearby clusters. Under dark skies the Beehive
Cluster looks like a nebulous object to the naked eye; thus it has been known
since ancient times. The classical astronomer Ptolemy called it "the
nebulous mass in the breast of Cancer," and it was among the first objects
that Galileo studied with his telescope.[3]
I leave my
readers to ponder whether this can be ‘just a coincidence’!
