This is my first contribution to the forum. I hope it is of some interest.
Recently I came across an interesting article written by the astronomer Dr Michael Lund of Vanderbilt University. The article concerns the possible connection between the discovery of Exoplanets and their influence on the Zodiac and astrology. The article was written in 2016.
https://arxiv.org/pdf/1603.09496.pdf
He notes that the discovery of major celestial objects in the Zodiac constellations has traditionally resulted in new areas of research in astrology. He cites in particular the Centaurs and larger asteroids. Interestingly, he turns to quantum physics to help explain why an object never seemed to have a dramatic influence such as Chiron before its “discovery” in 1977. He writes that particles behave differently when observed (discovered) to when they are unobserved. He thinks even large celestial objects, such as Centaurs and Exoplanets, may have a different effect on the observer once we know of their presence in space.
In the first of Dr Lund’s diagrams he shows the distribution of Exoplanets throughout the Zodiac constellations in 2016.
(See attached diagram Exoplanets by Zodiac sign)
The results are:
Aries 12
Taurus 17
Gemini 12
Cancer 22
Leo 37
Virgo 43
Libra 7
Scorpio 33
Sagittarius 37
Capricorn 12
Aquarius 22
Pisces 21
He posited that the relatively small number of Exoplanets discovered in Libra as opposed to Virgo may cause an imbalance resulting in a lack of balance and peace in the world today. He further noted that by actively searching in the constallation of Libra, the resulting increase in the frequency of Exoplanets in that corner of the Zodiac could perhaps result in more peace and harmony in our world.
I decided to continue Dr Lund’s line of enquiry by comparing his 2016 distribution of Exoplanets with more recent data from 2019. In the period between 2016 and 2020, the number of Exoplanets discovered in the Milky Way has roughly doubled to almost 4500.
(See attached diagram Exoplanets in 2020)
Here are my results:
Aries 18
Taurus 44
Gemini 18
Cancer 40
Leo 68
Virgo 98
Libra 18
Scorpio 58
Sagittarius 80
Capricorn 18
Aquarius 60
Pisces 38
At first glance it looks like Libra still has a lot of catching up to do compared to Virgo. However, when we compare the percentage increase in numbers of Exoplanets in each of the Zodiac constellations, we see that Libra has increased its Exoplanets by almost 270% rivalling the growth of Aquarius.
(See attached diagram Increase in Exoplanets)
I would welcome any other opinions on the possible influence of Exoplanets.
