It's no surprise that the ground-breaking and statistically very well backed insights of Landscheidt are barely accepted by the astrological community since he clearly showed up the weaknesses (and often the utter absurdity) of today's astrological mainstream. He also made constructive neo-astrological suggestions that are not based on nebulous speculations but on critical science. More on Landscheidt on http://landscheidt.auditblogs.com/?page_id=8 and http://landscheidt.auditblogs.com/papers-by-dr-theodor-landscheidt.

As Peter Fraiss, the "boss" of the Austrian astrologers (head of the astrology trade association of the Austrian Federal Economic Chamber) said in the last meeting in September 2007: astrologers often accusing scientists of their narrow-mindedness is a sign that the astrologers themselves are closed minded (the famous 'shadow' in Jung's terminology)…

- Da kan vi varsle dem som er mest utsatt for effektene av solstormene, forteller Brekke.

Hvor sterk blir syklusen?
Ved å studere strømningsmønstrene under solens overflate har forskerne funnet en teknikk som forutsier styrken på fremtidige sykluser. Denne studien tyder på at solens aktivitet i den nye solsyklusen vil bli 30-50% høyere enn under den forrige.

Andre teknikker tyder på det motsatte.

One of JP Morgan's most famous quotes was that millionaires do not use astrology in the stock market; billionaires do.

...

The JP Morgan home has been converted into a beautiful museum just north of Rockefeller Center in NYC. In it, Morgan's library, a work of art in itself, has a ceiling featuring a hand-painted celestial reproduction of the heavens with a secret passage into the library from the living quarters, located directly above JP’s birth sign.

In Russia, scientists tried to raise small animals - mice, rats, guinea pigs, rabbits - in air with no ions at all. They all died within a few days.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Dr Felix Sulman, head of the Applied Pharmacology department at Jerusalem University, conducted experiments with positive and negative ions on a cross-section of people. (his subjects were two groups of men and women between twenty and sixty-five) When left for about an hour in a room that contained an overdose of positive ions they became irritable and fatigued. Yet the same people confined for the same period of time, in air containing an overdose of negative ions, showed a pattern of brainwaves that suggested increased alertness and relaxation. He tested their alertness and work capacity by various means. All of them scored significantly higher, during and immediately after, their exposure to increased levels of negative ions.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Dr Sulman also undertook a study of "weather sensitive" volunteers and showed that, during the time of the Sharav winds, their bodies would produce up to ten times their normal level of serotonin - a hormone associated with stress. He found that, in effect, they were being poisoned by their own serotonin, causing migraines, hot flushes, irritability, pains around the heart, difficulty in breathing and a worsening of bronchial complaints, anxiety and irrational tension. Also a slowing of reactions was observed. Interestingly, it was discovered that in many people, the body's initial response to positive ions is to produce adrenaline and noradrenaline - the "fight or flight" hormones - which produces short-term euphoria but eventually leads to a condition of exhaustion. (It is this condition that is thought to affect insects and animals into restless activity as the positive ions build up before a storm.) The research also showed that exposure to positive ions can trigger an over-production of histamine, which most people will immediately recognise as the body chemical that aggravates allergies. Statistically it was found that 25% of the population are quite strongly affected by levels of ions in the air. Of the remainder, 50% are affected considerably, although 25% do not appear sensitive at all.
