<\/div>\n
\n

Rumor has it that Stalin planned to re-build Moscow to make it look like a Zodiac table. The metro loop line with 12 stations and nine skyscrapers representing planets were designed for these purposes. The Exhibition of Economic Achievements and the Ostankino TV Tower were to represent an asteroid belt. The metro loop line and the skyscrapers were built concurrently.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I\u2019m not sure what a \u201czodiac table\u201d would look like, but although there\u2019s little evidence to prove that Stalin was a devotee of astrology, there\u2019s no doubt that occult sciences played a major role in the scramble for power that followed World War I. \u00a0The occult practice of the Nazis are well-documented, and since Stalin was a bitter enemy of Hitler it would not be surprising if Stalin secretly pursued occult methods of gaining power.<\/p><\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
Philosophies of the Russian Revolution centered around the use of science to improve the state (a very Uranian concept!) and astrology in many ways aligns science with mysticism. \u00a0In any case, it\u2019s an interesting and thought-provoking article!<\/div>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
