What Happened
Genoese trading ships carried plague-infected rats from Crimea to Sicily, introducing the Black Death to Europe. Over the next five years, the pandemic killed an estimated 75-200 million people — roughly one-third to one-half of Europe's population. The Black Death fundamentally transformed European society, economics, religion, and culture, ending the medieval world order.
The Cosmic Link
Saturn and Pluto conjoined in martial Aries around this period, combining Saturn's association with death and limitation with Pluto's transformative destruction in the most aggressive sign. Saturn-Pluto conjunctions mark civilizational crises that destroy existing structures and force complete rebuilding. The Aries placement added speed and violence to the transformation.
