The brain thinks.
Paradise speaks.
But what happens when the two synchronize?
It is a dance of rhythms that propagate in recognizable models. A kind of invisible tide that moves inside while the planets move outside. Or maybe it’s the opposite.
This is exactly what the relationship entitled the cortical travel waves in time and space: physics, physiology and psychology, published in Psyarxiv (Link to study). It is not an esoteric brochure, but a serious, documented and meticulous text, which dissects how Travel waves (Those who spread in the cerebral cortex like waves in the sand) exist not only, but not only They organize conscience. And they do it in real time.
No, these are not metaphors.
These are real measures.
Physical physiological.
There is something that recalls the language of planetary transits a lot.
Not because they look visually.
But because they share something deeper: the idea that consciousness is not a constant, but an impulse.
And that this impulse can be read if you learn to listen.
From there, what you will read is not a classic interpretation of the scientific article or a symbolic zodiac style fantasy. It is an attempt to build real bridges between two different ways – but not opposite – to understand consciousness: one who speaks in Hercios, another who speaks in signs. Whoever measures the phases, another who calls them.
And if they really have something in common …
We can be faced with a new way of looking at the native card.
Rather: Listen.
Here, you have eight ways to understand how itinerant brain waves and astrological transits could speak, without knowing it, the same language:
I. The shared principle: rhythm as a structure of meaning
We are of a simple and elegant idea: brain waves and astrological cycles organize experience Through the pace. It does not matter whether we talk about the occipital or the Venus lobe in Capricorn. In both cases, there is a Phase alternation. Opening and fence moments. Reception and inhibition. Clarity and confusion.
Cortical travel waves do it inside the brain. They propagate in the form of electric currents in spatial temporal models that light up and offer whole regions. Not at the same time, of course. There are phases. There are addresses. There are areas that are excited before the others. Like a wave that reaches the shore, not suddenly, but gradually.
And the same goes for transits. Only, instead of traveling through the cortex, they do it for the astral graphic. They have addresses, impacts, moments of greater intensity. It is not only a question of “March by blocking your sun”, but When do, hence,, with what previous phase And what other points are symbolically “active” at that time.
II What are the vague travel? And why is important in astrology
The aforementioned study clearly shows this: itinerant waves are not background noises. These are organizational systems. The different frequencies (alfa, theta, gamma) exist not only to decorate encephalograms, but for Coordinate activation of distant regions No need for direct physical connections.
In other words: they make the brain communicate with themselves at a distance.
This, in astrological terms, is brutal. Because it implies that the activation “field” does not need a direct connection to resonate. As a Neptune transit can activate a childhood memory without needing this planet to directly touch the original moon. It is enough that it goes through the same axis, through a resonant house, to a symbolically linked degree.
There is no physical contact. There is a boss. And in both cases – cerebro and astrology – the model creates the experience.
III. Phase, receptivity and conscience
There is an interesting term, I would say fascinating, which appears several times in the article: The phase.
The phase of a wave determines When A region of the brain is more receptive. Not all the time. Not in no case. Only at the right instant. Like a door that only opens during a fraction of a second.
And that, dear reader, is the closest thing I have ever read the way a real planetary traffic acts in a letter. Not in theory, but in the practice of those who lived it. There are transits that pass without leaving a brand. Others who tear the soul. And the difference, several times, is there: The phase in which you are.
If you are in an opening phase, traffic enters. If you are in the fence phase, bouncing. Even if the aspect is the same.
IV. Address and spread: houses as wave areas
Another powerful idea that the article brings is that travel waves are not random. They have one Favorite address. They spread from certain regions to others. Sometimes radially, sometimes in a spiral, sometimes as if they bordered obstacles.
And it corresponds too well to the system of Astrological houses. These are not stagnant compartments, but symbolic regions that can be activated in the chain. A transit that touches the ascendant does not remain there. Irradia. It spreads. As a wave that starts from a point and travels a network.
Imagine that the moon runs through your XII house. And at the same time, look like your native Venus in Casa IV. Where does the wave start? Where does it resonate more strongly? Where does you hit you emotionally?
It is not a straight line. It is a field in motion.
V. wave psychology vs static astrology
This is one of the juices of the article. And also one of the most provocative.
According to the authors, consciousness is not a continuous line. It’s a Succession of discreet momentsModulated by the brain waves phases. That is to say: we perceive gusts. Not constantly, but by impulses.
It is, in psychological terms, pure gold. Because he dismantles the idea that we are homogeneous, rational and linear entities. No. We are waves. We are gusts of attention that are organized in temporary diagrams.
And now comes the tour:
Astrology – in particular traditional – tends to think in terms of fixed structures. Houses. Sign of aspects. All placed as in a photo of the sky. But if we apply this wavy idea, then each point of the letter becomes a rhythmic activation zone. Not only is it “there”. This vibrant With a certain frequency. And can resonance – or not – with external transits.
Do you see where I’m going?
Which opens the door to an astrology dynamicthat not only “describes” the character, but also settle With the real phases of consciousness.
VI. What if transits were waves that organize the experience?
I don’t mean only its symbolic content. I mean his real function in consciousness.
Imagine this: the passage of Saturn through your house III implies not only communication restrictions. I could represent a Wave of inhibition This travels through your mental networks, slowing down thought to allow deeper restructuring.
Or Neptune for House VII. Not as romantic “fog”, but like a Wave of perceptual disorganization This changes the borders between you and the other. Literally.
Suddenly, astrological metaphors are not only metaphors. These are functional models. Symbolic descriptions of how waves – oscillates or brain – organize what we call experience.
VII. Implications for astrological practice
This is where it becomes useful. Useful.
- Most lively interpretation: If you assume that consciousness is not continuous, but wavy, then each aspect becomes a rhythmic possibility, not a fixed sentence.
- Consistency with neuroscience: You don’t need to “believe” the planets that physically affect the brain. It is enough to accept that the two systems – the celestial and the cerebral – respond to Shared temporary structures. Call that synchronicity, if you wish.
- Design Symbolic software: Why not represent transits such as waves that run through the letter in real time? Why not show the active phase of each planet in terms of opening or inhibition?
- Astrological coaching: You can help someone not only understand what’s going on, but when you are receptive to change, integrate, make decisions. And that, based both symbolic and physiological.
VIII. Is it all verifiable? Or is it just poetry?
There is no empirical evidence that planets send physical waves that modulate consciousness. These astrological houses have no anatomical equivalent in the brain.
But there is something that cannot be ignored: convergence.
Two systems – a symbolic, another physicist – describe an surprisingly similar dynamic. Phases of rhythms. Propagated. Doors open at hours of concrete. Experiences that are not activated by the accumulation of stimuli, but resonance.
It is not poetry. It is a motif. And where there is a boss, he may have felt.
IX. Closure (if it can be closed)
The brain waves travel. The planets too. Both follow precise, but not mechanical trajectories. They do not repeat themselves. They resonate.
And in this resonance, there is something deeply human. Not only because it affects us, but because He organizes us. Because it structures how we think, how we remember, how we decide to love or escape.
It is not necessary that all astrology will become neuroscientific. Nor each psychologist accepts the zodiac. Just open a slit to the possibility that there is more synchrony than we want to accept.
Because in the end, what matters is not if the transit “works”.
What matters is if you synchronize with something that, for a moment, feels real.
