Percy Seymour

[Avi]

A couple weeks ago I stumbled upon this interview dating back to the late 1990's between Dr. Percy Seymour and The Mountain Astrologer.

Interesting? I am thinking there might be a link to McCanney's work but do not know enough about either theories (got to order some books!) to say.

You might want to check out the link for the images.

I would post the article but it says all rights reserved and is about 16 pages.

A brief synopsis:

Percy Seymour holds doctorates in astronomy and astrophysics, according to the article, and is a charter member of the Institute of Physics and member of the Royal Astronomical Society.

He is attempting to make a bridge between astronomy and astrology, in particular, that certain astrological aspects (alignments) effect sunspot cycles.

He draws on Michel Gauquelin studies, which coined the "Mars effect" on planetary heredity links.

In short he is making a case for planets playing a role in disturbing both earth and solar magnetic fields.

I will try to give more detail at a later time but it might be an interesting discussion among those who like this kind of science.

I found the link by researching astrology, which I find fascinating but am mostly dissatisfied with due to discrepancies and a multitude of methods. So for an astrophysicist to pay attention to astrology and in some way bridge the gap is interesting.

Just off the top of my head, it seems that he could be giving too much credence to the planets effecting the sun rather than the sun being the cause of change in its own way, but that is again, off the top of my head, and based upon what I remember the C's having said about the sun being a reactor more than reactionary. (paraphrased) I am sure there is an interrelationship, I just don't know if what he is proposing is necessarily correct.

It was news to me though, so thought I would share.

Here is the first paragraph:

Since the dawn of human history, stargazers have sought to discover the forces by which the planets influence life on Earth. Now, as we enter the 21st century, the long search for a physical mechanism that explains how astrology works may at last be nearing an end. Apropos to these times, which many astrologers believe to be a Neo-Renaissance period for astrology, an English astronomer named Percy Seymour has formulated a scientific theory of astral influences that describes the solar system as an intricate web of planetary fields and resonances. The Sun, Moon, and planets telegraph their effects to us via magnetic signals, says Seymour, an astrophysicist and respected authority in the field of cosmic magnetism. Omnipresent throughout the universe, magnetism is known to affect the biological cycles of numerous creatures here on Earth, including humans. In sum, Seymour's multi-link theory proposes that the planets raise tides in the gases of the Sun, creating sunspots and their particle emissions, which then travel across interplanetary space to strike Earth's magnetosphere, ringing it like a bell.[1] (See Fig. 1) These planetary magnetic signals are then perceived by the neural network of the fetus inside the mother's womb, heralding the child's birth.
