Arnanak applies his religious philosophy to current events:
"...let him go boldly forward. The Three would dance out his fate: in the mighty rhythms of Sun and Ember Star, and in that chaos the Rover brought, from which free will might snatch a chance to begin a new cycle of destinies." (pp. 153-154)
Sun and Ember Star are the cycle of life and death. The Rover is the possibility of a new beginning. Arnanak must act freely when the possibility is near. But it is unfortunate that the only possibility that he sees is military conquest.
I know some astrologers, including one who has written a specialist book on the subject. The ancient belief in the might rhythms of the stars is still with us.

Kaor, Paul!
It's amazing and disgusting how so many still take the astrology superstition seriously. I'm reminded of how mercilessly St. Augustine debunked it in his CONFESSIONS.
Ad astra! Sean
