It is possible the ancients were using the planets as time keepers for macro cycles in nature and society. Some of these cycles come close to the timing of planetary returns. The Sun and Moon however obviously do exact influence on our environment and even human behavior. On another planet one would have to chronicle such effects and develop a new system but if you already understand macro cycle effects it might not be necessary. But then on another planet the macro cycles might even be different. They might be just a harmonic of the effects of the planet's "Sun" and any moons. If you run two planetary calculation engines (this is astronomy not astrology), one where perturbations are calculated and the other without you'll find that dates where conjunctions occur to be the most off in position for the set that perturbation terms are not applied. >> --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, Bhairitu<noozguru@> wrote: >>> On 02/22/2012 03:01 AM, merlin wrote: >>>> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x8br4JiFEik >>> One of the things I neglected to mention about "Another Earth" was the >>> poetic license they took about the idea of a planet as large as earth >>> that close to us.
