Fourth MLM Ship Bracket Propaganda Submissions

Below you will find all of the submitted and approved ships for the Fourth MLM Ship Bracket Tournament along with the form to submit further propaganda at the bottom

This is another opportunity to submit propaganda for your favorite ships. Wether you were unable to submit propaganda for them in the initial form or you spot your favorite ship who has no propaganda submitted. Ships with a strikethrough have propaganda submitted, I will continue to update this post as propaganda is submitted. I will accept further propaganda for ships with already submitted propaganda but please prioritize those with out.

The goal is to have propaganda for all ships but I understand that may not be possible. Therefore I will be leaving the form open for a few weeks to see if we receive propaganda for at least half the ships.

Note: Please reach out to me if you spot any mistakes in character or fandom names, even if it is only formatting or spelling issues.

Skylights: Essays in the History and Contemporary Culture of Astrology edited by Frances Clynes (2022)

From the introduction by Frances Clynes and Dr. Nicholas Campion: ‘Astrology...interprets the past, manages the present and predicts the future, sometimes in detail, sometimes in terms of general possibilities. It is situational in that it situates affairs on Earth within the wider environment, including the sky, and it is contextual in that it locates human life within a context provided by the stars and planets, whether they are seen as signs or influences, powers in themselves, agents of the divine, or indications of a deep, cosmic order of which we all are part. It presumes a universe in which all things are entangled, or to use a modern term, interconnected. That life on Earth is interconnected with the wider universe is why, astrology claims, it is possible to read one pattern in another, and to read the pattern of human life in the patterns formed by the planets. It is a hermeneutic, approaching the sky as a text, in the same way as scholars analyse literary forms. As Francesca Rochberg said of Babylonian astrology, the stars constitute a kind of ‘heavenly writing’.[2] It carries into modern culture key characteristics of what we know as indigenous thought, including a respect for the unity of all things and a regard for cyclical time.’

THE NEW AGE OF AQUARIUS Eren Melchizedek

HISTORY

The ruler of Aquarius is Uranus. Its symbol represents water, a universal image which dates back into prehistory. This will also be recognized in the egyptian hieroglyph representing the same. The association in Aquarius is that of the servant of humanity pouring out the water of knowledge to quench the thirst of the world. These symbolic waves of water, share the dual expression of vibrational waves of electricity or parallel lines of force.

Personalities: Aquarians are interesting and attractive people. They can be shy, sensitive, gentle and patient; or enthusiastic and lively with a tendency to be exhibitionists. Both types are strong willed and forceful in their own way. Very opinionated with strong convictions, they fight for what they believe in. They will argue vehemently for what they believe to be true, however, if you can show them facts to the contrary, they have little trouble altering their opinion.

These are farsighted people with an eye and ear to the new and innovative. They are generally without prejudice and quite tolerant of the point of view of others. They have an interesting side to their nature that allows them to see a valid argument even when they disagree with it. They are quite objective folk and never get waylaid by being too close to an issue or person.

Regardless of type, Aquarius is truly a humane, human being. Known to be frank and outspoken, a 'on my mind, on my mouth' type, Aquarius makes for a serious and genial companion. Refined and idealistic, romantic but practical, they are personable and likable people. Quick in mind and quick to respond, Aquarians love activity and are quite reasonable, though difficult to get close to. They cherish and guard their independence, and are a strange mixture of caring concern and cool detachment. They will go out of their way to help when needed, but never get involved emotionally.

Mythic Origins —

To fully appreciate the mythological significance of Aquarius, it is necessary to bear in mind the importance of water to our ancestors. The very existence of the ancients depended upon the supply of life sustaining moisture. During the month of Aquarius, the rains were on the land, literally poured from the heavens. In many regions of the ancient world, this was seen as the beginning the new year, a time of new life cycles. It is not hard to understand why some images depict the figure of Aquarius as a water bearing angel.

The region of the night sky in which Aquarius resides is populated by water signs. In Babylonia, this region of the zodiac was known as the Sea. Here we also find, Capricornus, the water goat and Pisces, the fish.

To the Greeks, Aquarius was associated with Ganymede, the son of Tros, king of Phrygia. The god Zeus, so admired the boy's beauty that he abducted him to serve as cup bearer on Mount Olympus. It was this desire to possess the young prince which inspired Zeus to cast his image eternally in the night sky.

The Egyptians associated this time of year with the god Hapi. A heavyset, abundant figure, Hapi was responsible for the annual flooding of the river Nile. In some images he is seen watering the earth from two large jugs.

The Dreams: People have been having many water type dreams. Usually they are very scary. Many people are afraid that these dreams are prophetic and that the ocean is going to come over the land and kill everyone. However, other dreams like this portray similar ocean dreams but the dreamer just stands there and watches in awe and feels no fear. Other dreams are about fish tanks which are broken and fish are flopping on the floor helplessly, and others where the tank breaks and water falls to the floor, but the fish swim in the air just like they were still in the water. We have come to think of these dreams, as being prophetic, Yes! However, not that the physical world will be destroyed but that we are undergoing a spiritual change, and these dreams are messages that the Age of Pisces (a water sign) is ending, and that the Age of Aquarius (the water bearer sign) is coming in. This link is provided if you would like to read the dreams we have collected. WATER DREAMS

Let me quote from the book 'Millennium Prophecies, Predictions for the Year 2000, by A.T. Mann'. Chapter 10: Dates for the Beginning of the Age of Aquarius:

In the 'Book of World Horoscopes' Nicholas Campion mentions at least seventy dates for the beginning of the Age of Aquarius covering a range of 1500 years. He forewarns his readers by stating that there has been much confusion over this issue, and quotes the noted astrologer Charles Carter's statement that more rubbish has been written about this subject than any other branch of astrology, which is probably, in itself, an exaggeration.

As an illustration, Campion mentions an interesting synchronicity that occurred in 1962 involving a nineteenth-century French hoaxer and the renowned American clairvoyant Jeanne Dixon. In the 1890's Gabriel Jogand, primarily to agitate superstitious Catholics, deliberately devised and publicized a myth that the Antichrist was going to be born in 1962. On the projected day seventy years later, Jeanne Dixon had a vision that somewhere in the Middle East a baby had been born who would become a world teacher and lead humanity away from Christianity...an accurate definition of the Antichrist and also as a symbol of the beginning of the Age of Aquarius.

Campion constructed the horoscope computed from Dixon's estimated time and transposed it to Jerusalem and discovered that there had been a Solar Eclipse on the previous day when all of the traditional seven planets were in the sign of Aquarius. This is an interesting possibility for the entrance of the Age of Aquarius, but was not accompanied by an significant world events which would justify such a selection. This is also true of the majority of dates previously set for this momentous entrance...although enticing, they have not been persuasively connected with any major world events which would justify their claims. However, it could be reasons that the entrance into the Age of Aquarius is an inner, rather han an outer transformation, which could be the case.

It is generally believed that the Aquarian Age started in the year 2000, 2160 years roughly being the Age of a Sign. The Piscean age started at around 200 BCE ( Before Common Era ). Let us study the symbolisms of the Piscean and the Aquarian Ages.

As the Earth's precession is 72 degrees per degree, 2160 years is an Age Cycle. 25920 years ( 12*2160) is a Precessional Cycle or a Great Plato Year or an Aeon.

Pisces means Fishes and Jesus was the Redeemer of the Piscean Age. The Piscean Age emphasised Faith. The two fishes of Pisces indicate Dualism and during this time, the conflict between Religion & Science intensified as Science rose against blind Faith.The belief in an external God was rejected by Science.

Aquarius is ruled by two planets in Astrology - Uranus & Saturn. Uranus represents Independence and Saturn Universal Humanism. Humanism postulates that no dogma or political doctrine can save you; only you can save yourself. If you save yourself, you save society, you save the nation and the Planet Earth ! In other words, Universal Humanism will be the hallmark of the Aquarian Age.

The astrologic scholar Jeff Jawer remarks that the Aquarian Age has not arrived in his article " On The Cusp between Pisces and Aquarius. " The first Venus Transit occurred in 2004 & the next one wlll be in 2012. These 8 years will be like the Dark Night of the Soul, a chaotic period of purgatorial suffering as the Planet Earth goes through a dark phase. Dr Jose Arguelles, the scholar who brought the concept of Harmonic Convergence, also thinks that the enlightening Age of Aquarius will dawn on 2012.

The famous song on Aquarian Age states thus

When the moon is in the Seventh House And Jupiter aligns with Mars Then peace will guide the planets And love will steer the stars! This is the dawning of the age of Aquarius The age of Aquarius Aquarius! Aquarius!

All freethinkers are excited about the New Aquarian Age where Wisdom will blossom and importance will be on Self development, Self Transformation, Self Realisation & Self Actualisation. Gone are the days of dogma & Blind Faith. Personal transformation will result in Planetary Transformation !

Dante, Bernard Shaw & Alice Bailey had highlighted in their writings that a World Government is the only solution to achieve permanent World Peace. Mahesh Yogi inaugurated the World Government in 1975 in Seelisberg, Switzerland ( " In response to the call of time, a global organisation has been structured, the non-political, the non-religious World Government which has the knowledge and expertise to create an ideal society" ). Foster Bailey, the husband of Alice Bailey, said that " Free Masonry is the descendent of a United World Religion, a divinely imparted Religion. Then came separativeness and religions. Now we are striving for a United World Order" There is also a move to create a World Stock Market & to control all governments in the world. The foundations behind the United Nations are spiritual. The Global Oneness Movement is gaining momentum and a Council of Global Governance has been constituted with Maurice Strong as the President.

Dr Wilhmhurst saw the dawning of the Aquarian Age as the fulfillment of the Plan and said that Free Masonry may be the vehicle for that fulfillment. Wise people point out that the New Age Movement is the Universal Religion which H G Wells predicted would one day take over mankind.

The hand of the Mysteries controlled the establishment of the United States Government and the signature of the Mysteries may still be seen on the Great Seal of the United States of America. The Seal discloses a mass of Masonic symbols, chiefly amongst them the American Eagle, which is a conventionalized phoenix. The U S Supreme Court Justice Felix Frankfurter said " The real rulers in Washington are invisible and exercise power from behind the scenes ".

THE AQUARIAN SHIFT

Many changes were coming that were associated with the shift to the Aquarian Age, and it was time for people to have the tools they would need to transition from the Piscean Age that we had been in for 2000 years, into this new age.

What are these ages? Astronomers will tell you that the Earth rotates on an axis and that this line going through the center of the earth has a slight wobble to it. It goes through a little circular wobble about once every 24,000 years. This cycle has been broken into 12 parts associated with the 12 astrological signs, based on which constellation the axis is wobbling towards. From around 2000 B.C. to 0 A.D. we were in the Age of Aries. From 0 A.D. to the present we have been in the Age of Pisces.

For the next 2000 years we will be in the Aquarian Age. We have been in the transition from the Piscean Age to the Aquarian Age for the last 50 years. The official beginning of the Aquarian Age is November 11, 2011 or 11/11/11. Some people have set this date as December 21, 2012. Considering that this is a 2000 year cycle, no matter which date you accept, we are in for lots of change in the near future!

Why is this so important? Many people go their whole lives not caring or knowing if they are a Pisces, or a Gemini, or what their moon or rising sign is. This change to the Aquarian age is so important because it changes the astrological conditions for the entire planet. Every person on planet Earth has been and will be affected by this shift. Let’s investigate what will be changing.

The Piscean Age has been dominated by hierarchy, and power. The key phrase for this age was from Shakespeare’s Hamlet, “To be or not to be.” To make a successful and happy life, you needed to resolve this question. The key to the astrological sign Pisces is “I believe.” During this age, in order for you “to be,” you needed to find someone or something to believe in.

When you found that thing, you attached yourself to that thing and were guided how to live. This could be a religion, a political ideology, a charismatic leader, work, etc. The keys to life were hidden and secret in the halls of power and in the monasteries and ashrams. But you didn’t need to know these secrets, only to follow leaders and guides who did. This created vertical hierarchies as a result, and it was essential to find your place in the pecking order.

This has been the foundation for human consciousness for the past 2000 years. Everything that you have learned from your parents, and they from their parents, going back 2000 years, has been colored by this Piscean frame of reference. And now that is all changing.

The Aquarian Age will be dominated by networks, and information. The key phrase for this age is “Be to be.” The key to the astrological sign Aquarius is “I know.” This is the age of information. Nothing is secret anymore. All information is available at your fingertips. Where the Piscean age was organized in a vertical, up and down structure of hierarchies, the Aquarian Age is organized in a horizontal network, opening the world up to true equality.

During this age, the focus is no longer on your identity and existence (“to be or not to be”), but on accepting yourself as a whole person (“be to be”) who does not need to believe in something outside of yourself. You are ready to accept that you have the knowledge and wisdom within yourself. It is no longer necessary to attach to something outside yourself, but to become a leader of one: yourself. Instead of being a railroad car that is pulled by an engine, you become your own engine. It is your responsibility to stay on the tracks and to keep moving forward.

With this understanding, it is easier to comprehend what has been happening in the world over the last 50 years. On the inner level, since the 1960’s, there has been a huge movement towards personal transformation: self awareness, self improvement, yoga, meditation, tai chi, alternative healing, natural foods, etc. There has also been a major increase in depression, suicide, anxiety, stress, and drug use, both pharmaceutical and recreational.

In the outer world, we have seen amazing changes: civil rights, environmental consciousness, women’s rights, gay rights, global consciousness, etc. We have also seen the rise of fundamentalism, terrorism, partisan politics, racism, xenophobia (the fear of the “other”), and general fear mongering.

This shift is bringing out the best and the worst in mankind. Some people are preparing for this shift by opening their hearts and minds and embracing this new age, and some people are intimidated by the changes that they don’t understand and want to return to a “golden age” in the past, or to circle the wagons and trust only those who are like themselves.

Transformation is never a painless process. When you fast or cleanse to purify your body, at first you feel worse, because toxins get stirred up in order to be eliminated. Once these poisons have been cleared, you feel lighter and more energized. Now imagine that every person on planet Earth is going through this shift. We are heading into a time of radical change. It is a time of great potential growth and expansion, but it is also a time of great potential pain and suffering. The more that you understand what is happening, the more that you can go through all of the changes without losing your balance and stability.

What can you do to help make this transition into this new age of information and consciousness? Here are some suggestions:

1. Have a daily spiritual practice. Every spiritual tradition has one thing in common: a daily practice. This can be many different things: yoga, meditation, chanting, prayer, contemplation, exercise, journaling, etc. It is not important what you are doing, but that you do something almost every day, and do it with an intention to let go of your blocks and focus your consciousness. Kundalini yoga and meditation are the most powerful tools that I have found, but everyone must find their own pathway and collect the tools for their own toolbox.

2. Don’t give in to fear, despair, or anger. There is so much happening that can trigger these emotions: the media, the environment, politics, terrorism, etc. If you understand that these emotions are all symptoms of the Aquarian shift, then you can go through them without losing your center.

3. Don’t be a victim. You have the power to change your life. Don’t give that power away to anyone through blame or resentment. You are responsible for your happiness and grace. Don’t buy into any view of reality in which you are not 100% responsible for making your life work. The Aquarian Age is all about empowerment and consciousness.

4. Be a source of light. The more people who consciously choose to embrace the Aquarian shift, the easier this transformation will go for humanity. It is a spiritual truth that a small percentage of people who have shifted their consciousness can influence the rest of humanity. If you are reading this, then you are most likely one of these pioneers. Find a way to spread your light: teach, heal, create community networks, serve, sacrifice, love. Welcome to the Aquarian Age!

The Astrology of Current Affairs

Persian World History and the Covid Crisis

It’s no exaggeration to say that the current health and economic crisis is the first truly global crisis. Previous plagues, and even the two World Wars, never touched the whole planet. In this respect I noticed this letter on page 30 of The Times on 28 March 2020.

Planetary spectacle

Sir, I read Oliver Chastney’s letter (Mar 27) on the international space station with interest. As a lifelong amateur astronomer I have recently observed Venus in the evening sky in the west after sunset. It is a truly magnificent site, the brightest I can remember. However, another current celestial phenomenon provides a resonance with our ancestors. Since Christmas, before dawn there has been a close proximity of Saturn, Jupiter and Mars in the eastern sky. I am sure that our ancestors would have taken this as a portent of doom, pestilence and plague.

Simon Dobson

Market Harborough, Leics.

This extremely rare triple conjunction prompted a fair bit of attention and some great photographs. I was struck by Hanneke Weitering’s image of the planets over New York on Space.com. Anyway, following Simon Dobson’s letter in The Times it was natural for me to go back and check the Persian astrologers, who originated the theory that major planetary conjunctions coincide with world-changing events. The Persians termed Mars, Jupiter and Saturn the superior planets because they were thought to be further away from the Earth than the Sun. As they also seemed to be the slowest moving of the seven known planets, they were also thought to be responsible primarily for historical changes. It was thought they heralded a complex series of historical shifts over periods ranging from the shortest of 20 years, when Jupiter and Saturn make their regular conjunctions by meeting at the same degree of the zodiac, to the longest of a thousand years.

The eighth century Jewish astrologer Masha’allah (c. 740–815 CE) has left us the earliest surviving account of this theory in his aptly named work ‘On the Roots of Revolutions’. On pages 305 he wrote,

know that the greatest things, and those to be marvelled at, happen from the conjunction of the superior planets. And this comes to be on account of the slowness of their motion. And if these three were joined in one bound or face, and the sun aspected them, they will signify the destruction of sects and kingdoms, and the changing of them (and)… prophecies.

In plain English this means that when Mars, Jupiter and Saturn are in a conjunction, as they are now, Persian cosmology predicts massive religious and political upheaval. Masha’allah was followed closely by Abu Ma'shar (787–886 CE), whose comprehensive summary of Persian astrological history is contained in his On the Great Conjunctions, a book whose purpose was made clear in its full title, The Book of Religions and Dynasties. Abu Ma’shar refined and elaborated Masha'allah’s work, and gave this account of conjunctions between Jupiter and Saturn. In section 3.5 Abu Ma’shar wrote,

We say that when the conjunction of the two superior planets necessitate something in the changes of religions and dynasties, the changes of the Sharias and the Sunnas, the occurrence of important matters, the change of the kingdom, the death of kings and the kinds of occurrence of prophets, revelation, and miracles in religions and dynasties.

Abu Ma’shar’s concern was quite clearly with the Islamic world, but his wider brief was the history of the world. His theories entered medieval Europe, where they became a staple of medieval learning and were widely accepted down to the seventeenth century. This is what he wrote about Mars, Jupiter and Saturn in On Historical Astrology, 1.83:

Of natural movements, one is round the middle, to which corresponds the movement of the three superior planets, to whom belongs the indication of things which last a long time; … Saturn indicates religions and kingdoms and whatever lasts a long time; Jupiter observations of the laws, decrees and the like which are perfections of other things; Mars, wars and conquests and the like, which are, as it were, descents and lessenings of the end of things.

It follows that when all three come together the medieval political scientist would expect political and religious turbulence, with some added wars and invasions.

These ideas were taken up by Johannes Kepler (1571–1630), one of the greatest astronomers of western history. Kepler’s overwhelming concern was to understand how the universe works, and he was deeply interested in how what we know about the universe can be used to help the common good. And so he set out to reform astrology, arguing that the entire technical fabric of horoscope interpretation should be abandoned in favour of a slimmed down astrology which only used planetary cycles; in other words, things that could actually be observed and measured. The central methodology of Kepler’s reformed astrology was repetition. The principle was that, if a particular planetary configuration coincided with a certain kind of event, a similar event might be expected the next time that the same configuration, or a similar one, occurred. All Kepler’s crucial ideas are contained in thesis 71 of his ‘On the More Certain Fundamentals of Astrology’, which he composed in 1601. Looking back to the past he observed that the St Bartholomew’s Day massacre in Paris in 1572 took place when Mars was conjunct Saturn, while the castle at Eger in Hungary was captured by the Turks in 1596 (a highly significant event at the time, the region being part of the contested border between Christian and Islamic Europe) when Mars was opposed to Jupiter. He concluded that:

Experience shows that under these two conjunctions souls are generally stunned and frightened, or aroused in the expectation of revolts, and this fact is very significant for a multitude of people congregated in one place either for some undertaking or for destruction, as military experience testifies.

In Kepler’s political cosmology, certain planetary configurations, in particular those between Mars, Jupiter and Saturn, cause volatility in the collective psychology and indicate a possible risk of political violence. The mechanism was one in which the movements of the planets stir up the collective soul, and such disturbances then express themselves through political volatility, resulting in violent disturbance. In Kepler’s view, this information was of great importance to governments and that their policies should take it into account, specifically the likely consequences. Kepler suggested a combination of reform and repression, with reform being the first priority and repression a last resort.

It is preferable for peace and quiet to prevail, and sedition is feared, let meetings not be held in August and September, or let them be broken up, or better yet, let the causes exasperating people’s dispositions be taken quickly away, or by the introduction of some new deterrent, let their minds be changed.

Kepler was convinced that, while observing the repetition of planetary cycles could help anticipate future events, we are ourselves participants in an interconnected universe: ‘These remedies’, he wrote, ‘are always in our power, however things may happen, and nothing is absolutely predetermined’.

We can imagine Masha’allah, Abu Ma’shar and Kepler all getting together now, probably amazed that the triple conjunction is coinciding with a global crisis. At the very least they would be nodding wisely and wishing that they had been listened to. Masha’allah and Abu Ma’shar would doubtless stay out of politics, living as they did in an age when the Caliph’s word was law. Kepler, though, lived in a different age, when the first germs of the theory of a democratic, law-based, state were beginning to emerge. He believed that the purpose of watching the movement of planetary patterns was to manage our responses to the ebb and flow of political events. These days, the study of long-term cycles is usually divorced from correlation with planetary cycles (a divorce which took place not long after Kepler); for a brilliant summary of some recent work I refer readers to Laura Spinney’s review of Jack Goldstein’s and Peter Turchin’s work in The Guardian (work much reviled, I have to say, by academic historians, for whom cyclical approaches to history have been unfashionable since before the Second World War). Still, as we see with all the discussion about what should follow the Covid crisis, the questions remain much the same (will we return to business as normal, or while the economic landscape be changed forever). Whether planetary cycles are used or not, I like Kepler’s final words on the 1602 conjunctions: ‘let their minds be changed’. Which makes me wonder, ‘How will the Covid-19 crisis change our minds?’ And that is the precisely the question which so many people are asking now.
