Retrospective Astrological Analysis: French Revolution and Edo-Period were while Pluto was crossing the acendant of Aquarius

 

Let's make a prediction of the coming age of Pluto crossing the ascendant of Aquarius between 24th March, 2023 and 9th March, 2043 in terms of the retrospective perspective. At the last time Pluto was crossing the ascendant of Aquarius, the French revolution broke out in Europe while Tokugawa Dynasty secured its stability with Sakoku (the national Isolation policy) for 3 centuries in Japan. This provides some ostensible image of what the foreseen world outlook will be. 

Furthermore, in the astrological cycle before the previous one of Pluto crossing the ascendant of Aquarius, Martine Luther printed the first edition of Holy Bible in German as the first attempt of publishing it in other than Latin, which induced the Protestant reformation.  This infers that Pluto crossing the ascendant of Aquarius induces a revolution and the instability challenging the status quo, and it expects for the advantages and the disadvantages of this time period also coming soon. 

From 2023, it is obvious that the further technological advancement is anticipated. In particular, the field of data science and the artificial intelligence (AI) will be furthermore remarkable then.  This outcome will be revolutionary enough to trigger the drastic change in individuals' norms and value such as these previously provoked revolutions in the history in the world.  

On the other hand, the economic outlook will not be so positive that many individuals still feel materially desperate despite the technological development. The employment will decrease due to the rising capital intensive industrial model.  As Prof. Yuval Noah Harari , the author of Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind, has predicted, the human individuals will be divided in the newly emerging social classes called the super class and the useless class.  Therefore, the wealth distribution is less likely to be stimulate as much as it has been. 

By referring to the previous historical events and outlooks, the age when Pluto crossing the ascendant of Pluto was the age of political and economic instability while newly innovative mindsets were developed.  Until Pluto started crossing the ascendant of Pisces, the instability had continued until the new regime overtook the position to finally stabilise the world situation.  The interesting characteristic was that Europe encountered with the French revolution while Japan cut the tie with foreign countries while Pluto crossing the ascendant of Aquarius last time.  The phenomenon expected to take place will be somehow similar, it maybe predicted as. 

Europe nowadays is still haunted with a decade long recession since the last world financial crisis from 2008.  As same as the past, various political factions are existing and antagonising the other counterparts so that the stable decision making process improving the European socio-economic situation is less likely to be implemented.  Because of the wide spread relative poverty problem due to the economic stagnation might trigger some form of revolution or at least a reformation when majority of European people become no longer able to repress their frustration. 

 By contrast, Japan is the country where people hardly take an initiative to challenge the status-quo.  Nowadays, owing to the mislead Japanese governmental policies, Japan is still difficult to overcome from the economic recession and the ever growing social problems for the multiple decades.  As this perpetuation does not seem to be ended, the economic and political status of Japan will be furthermore depreciated.  Then, many skilled foreigners, having come to Japan for their economic reasons, will start leaving Japan from then on.  In addition, Japan will lose the initiative in their world trade deals so that the export-import volume will decrease. Therefore, even though it is not the government's policy, Japan will be in the situation resemblance to the Sakoku policy during Edo-period.  

Another interesting prediction in terms of the spiritual world theories, Gaia-theory/hypothesis infers that Japan will be the next world model after the end of the Anglo-Saxon's regime as the world model.  At the same time, the next world model lead by Japan will be the Yin 陰 as contrary to the Yang 陽 of the last Anglo-Saxon counterpart.   This implies that the world of the materialist prosperity will be replaced by the world of the spiritualism.  

Summing up these points, it can be predicted that the mind of people in the world will start shifting from their material interests to their spiritual and mental interests in their life while they are losing their material prosperity.  The reason why Japan will reign as the world model then will not be because of its material power.  Instead, Japan will be the country experiencing the fastest pace of losing their material prosperity.  In terms of what Gaia theory explains, Japanese people will also be the fastest ones realising their initiative of placing a higher priority on non-material beings than the others while experiencing the harsh material hardship.  

This is pretty much the foreseen situation resemblance to Edo-period where people and their nation Japan developed their unique interesting culture while suffering from the various hardships such as the oppressive feudalism, several famines and natural disasters, and no freedom of travelling to and trading with foreign countries.  The isolation and the material deprivation of Japan are quite reasonably predictable as seen in the current outlooks.  

All in all, the coming two decades will be the age of revolution and socio-economic and political instability.  Moreover, the contrast of the civilisation shift between Europe and Japan will be remarkable and the history may repeat.
