the Lunar Eclipse in MC historically AND astrologically accurate
So I'm an astrologer and I was intrigued when the Muneccimbasi (the Seer or Fortune Teller) mentioned an eclipse coming up (episode 122 I think). I looked up to see if there was an eclipse in 1553 and a total solar eclipse happened in January of 1553. I pulled up the chart for it - lo and behold, the chart is extremely on point about what happened to Mustafa and why. This eclipse is absolutely wild, it can be interpreted to foreshadow father-son and/or individual vs tribe conflict, the presence of Venus and Pluto could point to the influence of women, and it is bloody (Mars and Chiron conjunct -- in the house of children no less). It is wild and I'm floored not only because the show would include it (historical accounts probably did) but also because the astrology is spot on. MC is the bomb.
