A Secret History of Pandemic and Plague Prediction

A speculative personal enquiry into correlations between astrological configurations and previous plagues and turning points in history, with a special emphasis on the triple conjunction of Saturn, Jupiter and Mars from last December – also compared with the great conjunction of 7 BC and the vision of the Emperor Constantine. The author draws on some interesting historical commentators including Virgil, Aristotle and Albertus Magnus who all warn about upheavals and pestilence associated with such conjunctions, as was the case in 1345 with the Black Death. This makes for intriguing reading, even if correlation is not causation.
