How would this rhythm encode itself into life on Earth? This is so much more far reaching than suggesting an adaptation, such as can be found in organisms responding to the rising and falling of tides. In any case, small gravitational shifts are not comparable to wind. Extremely weak wind has direction and is constant, if only on average. This was my problem originally, and the one I keep referring to. Why does life on Earth care about the barycenter of the solar system? Exceptionally weak wind I could hypothesize, it's practical. Astrological influences is nothing more than grasping at straws. In what ways do you hypothesize life would be affected? Humor me, I bet you can't even form a good hypothesis! That's reverse psychology, not an insult.
The main long term cycle of the earth, after the day and the year, is the Great Year. The Great Year is written in to the Bible as the structure of the Holy City, providing inductive evidence for the deductive reasoning from the astronomy of the Great Year, much as the observation of precession of the perihelion of Mercury provided inductive evidence for the deductive mathematics of relativity.
If we hypothesise a microbe living on a gyroscope with stable wobble for billions of years, we can well imagine that it could internalise the wobble in its DNA. Exactly the same thing applies for the earth. Now, if this hypothetical gyroscope is within a gravitational field with a weak pulse with period precisely 1/144th of the wobble period, how would this manifest? This is the situation for the earth. My claim is that the pulsing field of the center of mass may not have direct effect, but may be sufficient to provide a regular structure to the earth's wobble. Triple conjunctions of Jupiter, Saturn and Neptune every 179 years form a barycenter wave pattern, shown in my essay
The Gas Giant Planets, The Holy City and the Great Year. These triple conjunctions circle the ecliptic every 2148 years due to each conjunction in a family occurring almost precisely one zodiac sign past the last one, so, in simplified terms, after twelve events the conjunction is in about the same place. The 2148 year return period of the JSN conjunctions may well aggregate its effect, in harmony with the Great Year, such that a temporal cycle of 2148 years duration is established on earth.
How I see that life would be affected derives from the claim that the signs produce an annual rhythm, caused by the solstices and equinoxes, with cusps around the 21st of each month. Although this rhythm is too weak to be seen in statistical analysis to date, my view is that is because of weak research models, and that larger and more systematic epidemiological studies will show sign effects as real. Gauquelin did not find any evidence for signs in his research, although he found compelling evidence for planetary effects.
The present state of play is that astrology has the status of a pseudo-science because of lack of evidence. My claim is that starting from the longest regular periods of the earth provides a more scientific way into the subject matter than psychological analysis of horoscopes, a topic that now generally relies more on symbolic imagination than mathematical evidence of the sort I am providing here.
Here is a gospel song I have written about this material
Seven days of creation, into the seventh day.
Twenty four hours of the Day of Brahm, into the third hour.
On the first day of creation, Adam and Eve fell from the Garden of Eden
On the first day.
On the second day of creation, Noah and his Ark survived the flood.
On the second day.
On the third day of creation, Abraham married Sarah of the Vedas.
On the third day.
On the fourth day of creation, King David brought the Ark to Jerusalem
On the fourth Day
On the fifth day of creation came Jesus Christ, the alpha and omega, the sun of love
On the fifth day
The sixth day of creation was the dawn of modern times.
On the sixth day.
And the seventh day is the sabbath day, the healing day, the day of peace
Into the seventh day.
There are twenty four hours in the day of Brahm, into the third hour.
There are seven days of creation, the future is the seventh day.
