caution
BRIDGE N It • . fA.
By Rosette Hargrove
PARIS - (NEA) - In a
world of uncertainty, at least
one thing is perfectly clear, to
at least some people: Jupiter
will be responsible for much
trouble in the air.
A congress of astrologers
meeting here has
unanimously foretold that
horoscopes were going to be
as bad as bad can be by the
end of the 20th century.
They — all 150 of them
from all over the world —
did, however, reassure that
this did not necessarily mean
a third world war.
There are other pointers.
By 1990, Jupiter, the symbol
of prosperity, will
diametrically oppose the
other heavenly bodies
grouped around the sun. And
the sun will then be in the
house of Capricorn, which
rules economic and political
life.
The 1974 astrologers’ con
gress met to discuss not only
the future of the world but of
their profession. Also they

BOGOTA, Colombia —
Practically no one in Latin
America can understand all
the fuss made in the United
States about income taxes.
Most Latins are allergic to the
tax collector and nobody in his
right mind would file an hon
est tax return.
Any company that can af
ford the extra accountants
keeps two sets of books. Prob
ably most Latins pay no in
come tax at all; they don’t
earn enough. Those who do,
but who are not too ostenta
tious, rarely get caught up,

hoped to establish in the
mind of the public the fact
that they bear no relationship
whatsoever to the multitude
of soothsayers, crystal ball
gazers, palm readers and
other diviners.
They believe, on the con
trary, that theirs is a definite
science based on the study of
astronomy, mathematics and
the figuring of probabilities.
Like all involved in
science, they do not pretend
to be infallible foretellers of
the future. They look upon
themselves as meteorologues
of history or “historical
meteorologues.”
Discussing the prediction
concerning Jupiter, one of
the experts explained: “In
simple terms, this could
mean that capitalism as it is
known today could come to
an end.”
The well-known 84-year
old Belgian astrologist
Gustave Lambert Brahy, who
has specialized in financial
predictions and is often con
sulted by the great and
mighty of this world, says:
an exit permit.
Even then, in most coun
tries, such certificates can be
purchased for a modest sum.
So it is that considerable at
tention is being focused on Co
lombia’s new president, Al
fonso Lopez Michelsen and his
sweeping new tax reform de
cree.
Within weeks of taking of
fice in August, Lopez invoked
a never-used 1968 law and de
clared a 45-day economic
emergency that permitted the
government to decree a
sweeping tax reform. Lopez
claims that the budget deficit,
now |923 million but which
will rise to nearly $2 billion in
1975, is the chief cause of in
flation, currently running at
22 per cent or more a year.
Without new taxes, said Lo
pez, the government would
not be able to pay the nation’s
teachers or the armed forces.
Taking a page from U.S.
textbooks, Lopez not only in
creased taxes to 30-56 per cent
for incomes in the upper
brackets, but also slapped
stiff new sales taxes of up to 35
per cent on a wide range of
consumer goods from autos to
soap, stoves, liquor and kero
sene.
Hardly a murmur has been
heard against the revised in
come tax schedules. After all,
it still is possible to cheat on
personal returns, no matter
what percentage the govern
ment sets.
Sales taxes are something
else again as the tax inspector
has only to go down to the as
sembly plant to find out how
many units are being pro
duced. So to checkmate the
wily Colombians, Lopez de
creed that the tax be paid by
the producer.
Trying to keep track of the
accounting procedures of
thousands of small shopkeep
ers would be impossible and
unproductive, as the govern
ment knows.
The howls of outrage were
not long in coming. Everyone
from soap entrepreneurs to
leather goods manufacturers
have taken full-page adver
tisements in the local press to
complain that the new sales
tax will bankrupt them.
The poorer classes are com-
“This concentration of the
planets means a grave crisis,
that’s for sure. What form
will it take? I cannot tell. We
can determine critical
periods, but cannot fill in the
details. We are not prophets.
Anyhow, according to the po
sition of the planets, I believe
this might mean a civilization
crisis, the end of capitalism,
for example. I can also see
wars and revolutions in Asia
and South America. Certain
signs might also mean a
world cataclysm, like the dis
appearance of part of a conti
nent.”
In the course of their meet
ings, the astrologers pointed
to a very strong indicator
that surely went unnoticed by
the average man. During the
last two decades of this cen
tury the planets will draw to
gether in precisely the same
configuration as existed at
the time of the first and sec
ond world wars. This does not
necessarily mean that the
timorous should start think
ing in terms of atom-bomb
shelters.
plaining, too. Although food
stuffs are exempted from tax
ation, the corner grocer has
used the new taxes as an ex
cuse to up the price of any
number of items, from eggs to
eggplants.
But the worst blow of all is
the 40-cent increase on a bot
tle of aguardiente, known as
“nectar,” the local firewater
which millions of Colombians
guzzle Sundays and holidays
to blot out their problems.

The great French
specialist of world predic
tions, 84-year-old Andre Bar
bault looks at the cycle of
planets as the “respiratory
system of time,” which
sounds somewhat obtuse to
the layman. But to quote him:
“The universe achieves
equilibrium when the planets
are harmoniously grouped
around the sun and the earth.
Unfortunately, we are on the
threshold of an exceptional
configuration and from 1983
on we shall live the most cri
tical years of this century. It
would mean an intense crisis
and perhaps the dawning of a
new society.”
As to the president of the
association, 64-year-old
Pierre Colombet, he con
firmed that he, too, believed
in an unavoidable crisis gen
erated by widespread im
poverishment affecting, in
particular, the younger gen
erations and the Asian peo
ple. All the same, he added
this comforting though some
what enigmatical note: “I am
an innate optimist.”
