An historical look at periods of Neptune in Pisces

Neptune Ingress into Pisces 2012

1520 - 1533
The religious theme picks up here again with the Protestant Reformation (1517 – 1648), which was also known as the Protestant Revolution. Martin Luther criticized the practices of the church for many of its practices. He also questioned the authority of the Pope, citing the bible as the only true authority. He was rewarded in 1521 by being excommunicated. Further reformations occurred throughout Europe and in England where Henry VIII dared to defy the Pope and actively separated the Anglican Church from Roman authority. Henry married Anne Boleyn in 1533.
The Peasants Revolt (1524 – 1525) in Germany (mostly) was apparently the largest uprising among the common people of Europe, second only to the French Revolution (1789 – 1799). The usual suspects were responsible for the uprising: relief from oppressive taxes, arbitrary justice systems, high debts and costly ecclesiastic privileges. (As clerical and political aspirations have always been hard to separate, one might almost perceive a similarity to the UK’s politicians trying (and failing) to hide thousands of pounds in expenses and then when they get found out they have the brass neck to demand a 60% pay rise, when forcing all around them to accept less than 2%). It is argued that part of the uprising was in direct relation to the ongoing Protestant Reformation. Unlike France in 1789, the peasants lost their battle but the pace of change against the Roman Catholic Church continued unabated.
Suleiman the Magnificent ruled at the zenith of the Ottoman Empire 1520 – 1566. In 1521 he took Belgrade, a Christian stronghold, which sent ripples of fear through Europe.
1684 – 1697
