Longevity, creativity and the 27-day solar rotation cycle

Longevity, creativity and the 27-day solar rotation cycle - Part 1

Abstract

Michel Gauquelin observed that his collection of birth data of eminent writers and scientists showed surprising peaks when plotted against the zodiacal position of the Moon. In this report his study is extended in two ways. It is suggested that the positions of the lunar zodiac peaks vary with profession and planet. Second, longevity data from other sources are investigated uncovering a small set of recurring zodiacal longitudes close to the peaks in the Writers’ and Scientists’ data.

Alleged lunar effects often follow the 29.5-day lunation cycle, yet this pattern does not emerge in this data. Since data on longevity have been shown to correlate with solar activity cycles, it was conjectured that the 27.3- day cycle of the Moon may be masking an influence of the Sun’s 27-day rotation cycle.

The possible solar influence is supported by the presence of a semi-annual modulation in the data, which leads to a further curious conjecture – that rather than conventional astrology the fundamental link may be to archaeo-astronomy and the symbolism of the compass directions which appears in many ancient cosmologies.
