the imperial cycle will apply, we are at the end of the age of the british empire, which i consider to have arisen out of the time that gave us the Statute of Monopolies and yeah that renaissance thing

the influence of jupiter and saturn on us cannot be underestimated... specifically, creating a 400 year economic cycle that unravels an empire that has grown corrupt

the last cycle also started with much the same influences, that gave us the reformation and the printing press and all that stuff, that is now at an end, and the systems that built on it have become overwhelmingly rotted
