The Zodiac as a Cosmic Information Matrix
Linking Dr Melvin Vopson’s Information Theory with The Divine Plot
In recent years, a revolutionary hypothesis has begun to reshape our understanding of reality: the idea that information is the most fundamental building block of the universe. Physicist Dr. Melvin Vopson, following in the philosophical footsteps of John Archibald Wheeler’s “It from Bit” concept, proposes that matter, energy, and even the laws of physics emerge from pure information. This theory—gaining momentum both in scientific discourse and popular culture—suggests that the universe is not merely governed by physical laws, but is itself a kind of cosmic information field.
Within the framework of LifeTime Astrology & The Divine Plot*, this theory finds profound astrological expression. If the universe is an information system, then the zodiac—specifically its 360 degrees and their sub-divisions—can be viewed as a vast and ancient information storage matrix, encoding the evolutionary data of human consciousness and historical time.
Each degree of the zodiac represents not only a slice of space or personality archetype, but also a time-stamped data node, rich with encoded meaning. These degrees correlate to specific epochs in human history via the reverse logarithmic timeline of the Divine Plot. When planets align with these degrees in a natal chart, they serve as access points, revealing an individual’s karmic imprint and entangled relationship with time itself.
Just as binary code underpins the digital world, the zodiac’s angular subdivisions may function as the binary substrate of the soul’s journey, carrying the imprints of past lives, ancestral memory, and cultural evolution. This is especially true when viewed through the lens of the Saros eclipse cycles, which act as cosmic synchronization pulses. The Pre-Conception, Pre-Natal, and Post-Natal eclipses mark critical data imprints—entrance and exit points of informational threads that weave the individual into the tapestry of time.
Furthermore, the Life*Time Astrology system’s division of the zodiac into gestation, childhood, and maturity phases mirrors the encoding and unfolding of a life’s “program”—a metaphysical algorithm written in the stars. These phases are not metaphorical, but literal time-bound stages in an informational continuum, stored holographically in the individual’s natal geometry.
By aligning astrology with emerging information theory, we come closer to a unifying paradigm: one that does not separate science from soul, but reveals the zodiac as a conscious archive, a spiritual and historical blockchain recording the karma and dharma of humanity across ages. In this vision, astrology becomes the sacred language of information itself, and the Divine Plot emerges as its unfolding narrative.
If this theory is proven then the implications are profound
The following is an example to demonstrate the potential in all walks of life;-
🔹 0° Capricorn = Year 1720: The South Sea Bubble
In The Divine Plot, the degree of 0° Capricorn corresponds to the year 1720, a pivotal historical moment marked by the collapse of the South Sea Bubble—one of the first major speculative financial bubbles in modern capitalism. This crash devastated the British economy and revealed deep flaws in financial speculation, government involvement, and public gullibility.
🔹 Pluto Transiting 0° Capricorn = 2008 Financial Crisis
Fast forward nearly three centuries, Pluto made its first ingress into 0° Capricorn in late January 2008 (exact on January 26, 2008). Within months:
- The collapse of Lehman Brothers in September 2008 triggered a global financial meltdown.
- The housing market bubble burst, exposing massive systemic flaws in banking, credit, and economic ethics—eerily echoing 1720.
Pluto, as the planetary archetype of power, transformation, death-rebirth cycles, and hidden forces, brought deep systemic corruption and overreach to the surface—exactly at the degree tied to a similar lesson in 1720.
🔹 Interpreting This Through The Divine Plot
Pluto’s transit reactivated karmic nodes in the collective unconscious. The echo of 1720 in 2008 strengthens the concept that degrees are historical memory points.
- 0° Capricorn may signify a recurring financial karmic threshold—especially involving global structures and empires.
- Future Pluto transits across other “degree-year” nodes in The Divine Plot could predict or reflect collective transformations linked to their encoded historical moment.
Important announcement!
Unfortunately the books “Life*Time Astrology” and “The Divine Plot” are no longer in print, however, we are pleased to announce that we are now in an active partnership with the author AT (Tad) Mann who has made available his more recent book “The Divine Life” published in 2002 as a single revised version to encompass both systems which which is now available in the subscriber’s area of the Chiron Knowledge Hub
“This synthesis of two classic books, brings together halves of a cosmic puzzle. A T Mann gives a breath taking new angle to the age-old schism between faith and science, and between material and spiritual concepts, that in time will be decisive for astrology’s position in western society.”
At Chiron we actively seek to investigate and research this important subject and ask for your support by way of your lifetime subscription. (See also > Project: Conflict Resolution)
