Of equal value, if not exactly of the same nature, were the dreams of the learned; and equally disastrous were they in their effects. Most of them saw the announcement at once and cause of their troubles, in a comet which appeared in the year 1628, and in a conjunction of Saturn with Jupiter; `the [...]

I was reading last issue of Phos, so let’s check Russian Revolution. The author considers 1914 eclipse and give 48 months for its duration, but let us stick with Cardano.
