Coincidence is a wonderful journey. I woke up and read a comment by a fellow Iranian on facebook. I noticed his photo and got curious. It is a picture of Hercules and Mithradities.
Making matters simple and important, this is why I followed my hunch. I am sitting watching six nations rugby and the concept of strength, human power and war, were prominent on my mind.
So naturally I wanted to find out why this part of the world has survived all these years. I looked at the horoscope of 61 and 62 BC for July 7th.
Use this free Astrology online tool in the dates I mention:

Put July 62 and select BC. You will see that Jupiter is in Cancer and Mars is there in early Leo with Mercury and Venus.
Persian costumes are seen. So no matter how Hellenic they try to make it all look, there is no confusion on the Iranian astronomy or astrology or cosmology at work. In fact Alexander as written by Ferdowsi Shahnameh was Iranian on his father's side.
To be true, people from the Caucasus are a mix of Greek, Syria, Armenian, Turkish, Kurdish, Iranian, Russian. After the Mongolian invasion we even have Chinese people. Of course we know of Noah's Ark. So this is a centre of the Earth if not The Centre.
As a believer of Zend Avesta I do not believe on sacred places. But as an Astrologer timing has meaning. In ancient times the famous Iranian Astrologer Jamasp wrote of the three 2000 year old cycles we know as the precessiom of equinox.
Jamasp predicted the coming of Age of Pisces when there is a great alignment. This moment was one of those that would have looked quite bright. They did not have the power to see Uranus but it was there aligned as well.
To read the German translation is truely enlightening how tolerant the culture was. It respected humanity and all its beliefs. It is shown by this great conjunction of the planets. It is then no surprise that it has lasted so long.
But the date that Iranian Zoroastrians use is 3750. It is based on the 30th birthday of Zoroaster when he was enlightnened by Ahuramazda. Put 1737 BC and April in the link above and see the amazing conjunction in Aries of Jupiter Sun Neptune Pluto and great angles to Saturn in Gemini. His thoughts were new and revolutionary as Uranus was in Cancer and created a new tolerance.
But perhaps the most thrilling experience being an Iranian Astrologer is to see the Astrology of Zoroaster. You can see it. Go to that link select 1769 and April. Questions that will come to mind are. Why that date? It is because the illumination of Zoroaster took place on his Saturn return which is in calendar terms 28 years.
Looking at 1769 BC for 6th degree Aries which is Khordad rooz Farvardin, we see very interesting deliniations worthy of the his character. He was born with Moon Saturn Mars conjunct in Taurus. Jupiter in Cancer and Sun conjunct Venus. There is much more. But this is a chart of a practical heaven on Earth man. A naturalist.
And for all you Christians have a look at Horoscope of Jesus Christ

It shows a person with the vision of Pisces. An idealist.
Iranians spoke of such stellar conjunctions as marking the beginning of various ages and important ceremonies. So it has been stated that we will have three such "Saviours".
We of course know much more about Astrology to just pick these delineation as "the best". All time is good. There is no particular time that is bad or good.
