The second return
of Uranus to 24'29" Gemini in 1947-8 was a time of increased freedoms
and technological innovation. August of 1947 saw the culmination of the
long struggle of India’s quest for independence from Great Britain.
Although only one nation, India’s fifty-plus years of democracy accounts for more than half
of the people who have participated in democracy in world history. In
terms of sheer numbers of people, the establishment of the Indian democracy
was a huge leap.

| Created in 1947, the transistor is arguably the greatest invention of the 20th Century |
|

The end of 1947 also
saw the invention of the transistor, arguably the single greatest invention
of the twentieth century. Although the transistor did not burst onto the
technological scene, it slowly and steadily revolutionized industry and
economy and was responsible in large part for the Electronic and Information
Age. Let us also not forget the breaking of the color barrier in baseball
by Jackie Robinson in the summer of 1947. |

Although Uranus is midway
through its third cycle from its discovery position in 1781, neither Neptune
nor Pluto have completed one cycle from their respective discovery positions.
Not only were Neptune
and Pluto discovered later than Uranus, but both planets have much greater
orbits around the Sun than Uranus. Discovered in 1846, Neptune will complete
its first cycle in the years 2009-10 when it contacts 24'54" Aquarius–its
zodiacal position of discovery.
To anticipate the potential
Neptunian influx occurring in 2009-10, one must look back at the time
of Neptune’s discovery in 1846 to grasp the expressions of this planet.
The late 1840's was a time of revolution, increased expansion and trade,
and religious experimentation.
