The Age of Discovery — Magellan's Legacy
Magellan's expedition completed the first circumnavigation of the globe (1522). The Spanish conquest of the Aztec Empire under Cortés. The dissolution of religious certainties (Reformation) combined with the dissolution of geographic certainties (the world is round, there are new continents). Reality itself was expanding and dissolving simultaneously.
The Sky: Saturn conjunct Neptune in Pisces
Saturn-Neptune in Pisces dissolves the boundaries of the known world. Pisces rules the ocean, the unknown, the mystical beyond. Saturn demands that the unknown be mapped, structured, and conquered. The Age of Discovery is Saturn-Neptune in Pisces made manifest: the rational exploration (Saturn) of the infinite unknown (Neptune in Pisces).
